The final callapse will quickly follow the routul- ing up of the Boers itathellFree ;State. Meanwhile there will he stories of the narrow escape of Eiteliner from being carried off a prisoner and of General French exposing his entire cavalry division to the risk of capture. All these stories bear the marks of im- probability, and the great filet in the situation appears to be that the Trans vaat burghers are tired of the fight, and are giving up their .errns aud horses with an the alacrity that could be expected, Hon. Joseph Martin severely blames the Dominion Government for throw- ing the province into the hands of the Conservatives and predicts a great Tory victory in Britisb Columbia at neral election. This expresses atm ea, the general feeling oi eras there who are utterly disgusted with the conduct of the Laurier Ministry throughout the whole affair. It is probable that the session of the Pro- vincial Legislature will begin later than july 0. Hon. Joseph Martin grinned last night when asked if be expected the cotairg session to be a stormy one, and admitted that be would contribute liberally of his means to belp on the cyclone. The difference in cost of cement and plank walks is very trifling, plank be- nts decidedly more expensive than ternent. Take a lot with 105 feet fron- tage as an illustration, but it matters not whether 50 feet or 300 feet, the same proportion of cost will apply to any frontage. Estimate tbe cost of cement in front of a lot with 105 feet frontage, 4 feet wide at 1Ie cents a foot, will cost $12.30: divided into 20 equal payments, will make the walk cost $2.21 a year, with 4 per cent. interest added, while a plank walk of an equal width and the same frontage will cost 8 cents a foot, or a total cost ; of $33.60, divided into 10 equal pay- ments, will cost $3.30• a year, -with interest at 4 per cent. added. This will readily explain the advisability of building cement walks. x x At the Methodist conference held in Toronto, Dr. Sutherland said regard- ing the temperance question, that in their very zeal for prohibition, pure and sitnple, they were letting the gteat principle of neoral suasion slip • away from them. If they got a pro- hibition measure to -morrow, it would be utterly useless without a mighty public sentiment behind it. 'We have been paddling along for twenty years with this resolution," he said, l'and what under heaven has it amounted to ? Nothing, and never Will along these lines. We should have a stronger deliverance or nothing at all. This does net mean anything. I have no faith in theme resolutions that come to us from the Alliance. Let us for once in our history act as men in this matter. I do not wonder that we haye become the laughing stock on the floor of the House of COMmons. Let tie act as we mean, or let us drop it altogether, and follow the old temperance lines as we used to elo." 403 years ago Sunday Canada was . discovered when Cabot landed on Cape Breton.. • Kruger says he will never tell where the contents of the Transvaal treasury area, so; that Roberts may land a as hard. to locate the wealth as J.

Frenc1e0anada is still lookbeg towards it, and he wants France to still look toward Froich Canada. "Frenchmea who come td he said, "can be certain a finding French laws and arms open to welcorae them." This was gushing enough, but he went further last week, in a lecture in the Canadian section of the Exposition and hinted that Quebec was anxious to adopt the French trieolor. It can never be. The French flag was lower- ed, as a national emblennwhen French Canada passed under British vale, and there is no hope of it being restored to its old position. Air. Tarte knows this so very well that it ls surprising he should iguore it. French sympathy and friendsliin may be desirable, but if these cannot be bael witheut false prepaiees and de- ception they had, better be abandoned. ingston Whig (Lib.) ONTARIO HAS SI'FVERED. An autocratic lieutenantsovernor is not as truly a menace to free and re- presentative institutions as dishonest polling officials. Liberty and justice have not suffer- ed as much in British Columbia at the hands of Lieut -Governor alcinnis as liberty and justice have sutfered in On- tario at the hands of official scouted- relism in West Huron, North Water - lee, 'West Elgin and Brockville. British Columbia, can proteet herself iinst the tyranny a LieutMovernor Innis, but Ontario has not yet fouutl •ay to protect herself against the great evil of fraud at the ballot box. Lieut -Governor McInuis may be an autocrat, but his tyranny veal not possibly do as much harm to the cause of public liberty and honest govern- ment in British Colombia as Ontario has suffered at the hands of the ritscale wilt, tamed its bye -elections into a farce and the rovernment whose apathy failed to move efaciently in the direction of avenging these gravest of all crimes. -Toronto Telegram.
