1 he Coming Redistribution
The Hamilton Herald says: -Hon
David Mills has been telling an audi-
ence that the redistribution which ne-
cessarily follows the recent census will
be made fairly, but he did not promise
that the work will be entrusted to a
commission of :non-partisan judges,
which, if memory serves,was the
Liberal programme before ,the party
took- office. • .. hit
The . recollection of . the $erald is
bad, or it would not have made the
above statement.
In the parliamentary session of 1900
the Liberals proposed a plan of redis-
tribution, to be made by the _judges
They thought this was ;manfully fair,
and it undoubtedly was. • It gave the
Liberals no advantage over their op-
ponents. But whrtt did the °onset.,
vatives do ? Did they accept thie.pro-
posal ? Were they willing that the
j udges`shouid make the redistribution ?
Most decidely not.
They opposed it in the, House in the.
most violent manner possible, and
when the bill for redistribution went
to the Senate, that body, with its
characteristic hostility, threw the bill
out. This was equivalent to saying
that so far as the Conservative party
was concerned it would not have the
redistribution made by the Judges,
Having. taken that attitude the
shouldbe willing to abide byy
We do not know what courset be
government will pursue, when it
makes the redistribution, but it will
be only reasonable to suppose that,
under the cirdumetancee, it will underw,
take to do it itself.
If rumor speaks truly there lea prob-
ability of a three -cornered fight in East
Auron at the next provincial election,
It is said that John Govrnlock, of Mc-
Killop, has come noaon of running as
an independent candidate. Judging
from appearances, �Mr Govenlock has
been training for something of thin
kind for some time. Previous to jot a-
ing the. Patrons Mr Goyenlock was an
active Liberal. Since the subsidence
of the Patron organization he has not
taken any active part in politics. • Mr

Vtt
With the Press Clang,
Sydney, Cape Breton, and its
Industries -the Eastern Limit
of the Dominion -A Boom-
ing Town in Reality.
from 300 to 350 tons of pig -iron a
day (and the 'slant rune every day in
en-
gines of horse power each, that
supply 50,000 cubic feet of air per min-
ute ; they are the largest engines. in
the world,each weighing over 000 Ions,
and are equal to the power of 12,500
horses,. and the ground•area covered
by the works is X180 acres, and this des-
cription is the biggest possible.
Since my return I have been fre-
quently asked "Do you consider the
Sydney boom permanent ?" and my.
answer has always been "Yes" without
any gnaliflcation. The works, as well
as coal mines on the island, belong to
a company off Awerical capitalists, and:
Mr H. M. Whitney is the directing
spirit thereof. It was the pleasure of.
my self ane half -a -dozen others to take
dinner with this gentleman, and in the
course of the evening we learned much
of their plans and prospects. Their
investments are of a permanent charac-
ter, and not the slightest doubt exists
but that Sydney will be a large and
flourishing place.
In the afternoon we went by train to
the "town" of Louisburg, which, like
other places we visited was gaily decor-
ated in our honor. The town seems
to be more dead than alive, and has
only recently reached the dignity of a
town. On leaving the Sydney.and
Louisburg train almost the fret objects
to meet one's eye are two French can-
nons now mounted an modern gun -car
riages supplied by the Dominion goy-
ernment and located on a neat and
sodded placed'armee, of the old French
fortifications. The cannons were pro-
cured from the harbor not many years
ago from the sunk wreck of 'a French
man-of-war. Nearly every house in
town possesses, at least a. few relics of
the olden days and cannon balls used
in the Beige are still constantly being
unearthed. Nearly every cellar was
built with stone taken from the forti-
fications and many a cottage chimney
is composed of bricks manufactured in,
La Belle, France.
A drive of three •miles would take ue
overto the ancient Louisburg, but a
tug.in'readiness carried us across a
sketch of. a mile, landing us almost on
the battlefield itself. The first thought
,on reaching the ruins is of the im-
mense expenditure of -money and toil'
devoted to the construction of the
ancient fortifications,: now still massive
even in its ruins.
,,The most interesting features of the
ruins are the casematee, tunnels of
solid masonry, 'whither, in time of
bombardment the non -con batents, the
women and the children, were sent for
safety. To-day'they afford shelter to.
the numerous sheep which wander un-
disturbed where: once 4the sound of
martial' tread and hurried call to arms
were heard. • It is very easy to conjure.
up pictures of the time when•the Eng
lish ships wereurling their deadly fire
into the devoted town. Huddled like
sheep in 'these dark and' close abodes
the. women of French -Louisburg,. rich
and:poor alike, must hrve spent ;many
and many a weary hour. On a . fine
site:stands the' Louisburg monument
dedicated on June 17th, `1 5, and plac-
ed on the exact spot where ;150 years
before, General Peperell received the
keys of the fortress from Governor
Diichamhon in the presence of the
assembled troops. The monument
which was.erected by the S ieiety of
Colonial Wars, is a polished granite
shaft, standing in a base which rests'
on a square pedestal four feet high
The capital of the column is surmount-
ed by a polished bell, two feet in . dia-
meter, of dark red` granite,. It is dedi-
cated "To' our Heroic Dead," and bears
inscriptions giving the numbers of the
principal British and French forces
that took part in the fleet siege.
One of the "Natives", whose great
grandfather took part in the conflict,
gave us a history. of the event,• while
we all sat around on the grass. listen-
ing with closest attention, Even at
this late day many relicsare picked, up,
and in'the"short time at our disposal
some of our party: picked up bullets
and other mementoes. •
Tbe manager of the Sydney and
Louisburg railway being on board our
special train, determined to give us a
record-breaking ride home, and ran
the train at the rate of 71 miles an•
boar, covering 18 miles in 15 minutes
The trip was so fast that ladies were
not allowed in the rear coach, which
rocked and rolled to much in turning
the curvee,that had it left the track, it
'would have been all day with some of
us., We passed a number of coal mines
on the way and were told that the
mines make seven and eight hundred
dollars a year ; some of their houses
were comfortable looking!. . brick and
frame ones, but were absolutely cheer-
less, so far as shade or trees were con-
cerned. Agricultural interests have
been neglected for others more profit-
able, and while there are great natural
resources here, our opinion is- that its
future wealth and prosperity will de-
pend almost altogether on its indus-
trial rather than its agricultural devel-
opment.
Onr trip to Sydney was very enjoy-
able indeed, and while I have endea-
vored to give my readers some idea of
what we observed and learned here, it
is necessarily very limited, being in
outline only. R. H.
No section of the Dominion , of Can-
ada presents more objectsof interest
for the tourists, . the scientist, and
the historian, than the island of Cape
Breton. Here we seeremarable natur-
al features which were gradually
evolved out of chaos duringaeons of
untold millions of years. Here we
meet with many memorials of Euro-
pean explorers and adventurers,.. of
brave soldiers and sailors,whose names
and fame havebeen perpetuated on its
picturesque coast.
Cape Breton in general, but Louis-
burg in particular are points of. histor-
ic interest.that'will possess charms for
Canadians • fur man years: to come.
. e
The sieges of 1745 and 1758 are known
to persons in the western portions of
Canada only as matters of history, but
here in Cape Breton they are a living
reality. Within two hours, ride. 'of
Sydney, the famous battle•fleld of
Louisburg is situated, and on it yet are
many evidences of the struggles that
took place over 150 years ago such as
the fortifications and breastworks, to
which 1 will make reference tolateron.
Tuesday evening, Aug. 20, found us
at -North Sydney, where we had sup-
per. By the railway North Sydney is
17 miles tram Sydney, but it is only
five miles acrossthe lake. North Syd-
ney is quite a shipping centre, vessels
of every description. and nationality
anchoring bere, dust as wellin winter
as in Bummer, for the harbor is always
open. Itis the direct port betweenthe.
island and ' Newfoundland, the coal
mines in the vicinity furnishing an
important trade.
Leaving North Sydney by steamer,.
we had a delightful trip across thelake.
The approach to Sydney at night is
very pretty -as is the approach to any
port where electric lights are plentiful,
but the sight is arearlyenhanced by
the stacks of the Sydney Iron Works,
which send forth finines emotion
We expected to sleep in some of the
hotels of the town, but the foam and.
tourist traffic was so great -that none
of then, could accommodate us. What
did we do -sleep in the sheets -not
mnch. Thanks to the thoughtfulness:
of the Intercolonial management, our
train; which we had not seen for 15
hours, was at the station, and the •por-
ters soon bad our berths ready, though
they were not expecting us. •
Next morning we started out to "do"
the town of which so much as lately
been heard, Though years ag .lh' b.isy
world scarcely knew of the existence
of the Cape Breton town, when with a
sudden bound Sydney jumped up to
the front rank of iron-producingcentres
and now commands the attention of
capitalists and manutacturers of North
America and Europe,
two years ago Sydney was a sleepy
little town of 3,000, inhabitants over
which Sabbath quietnees brooded, To-
day the whole aspect and condition of
Sydney are changed. Two year. ago
you could scarcely give away property
here ; to•day you can scarcely buy it,
and it hardly has any sidewalks' yet.
There is now a population of 12,000 or
more, a. new railway station to accom-
modate the steadily increasing traffic
there are two daily payers and flys or
six banks. In short, in place of the
stagnant and decaying Sydney of two
yearetago,•there has arisen a new Syd-
ney, which has already become indus-
trially famous in the old world as well
as the new. All this change, a change
more sweeping and more sudden than
any industrial town or city in Canada
has ever before undergone, bas been
broughtabout since Augnet 1899, and
is due solely to the installation of the
$12,000,000 plant of the Dominion Iron
and Steel company, which, when in
full operation, will be turhing out be-
tween 800,000 and 400,000 tons of pig
iron annually, ensploying 3,000 to 4,000
skilled mechanics.
We breakfasted at the leading hotel
next morning, and had just sat down
wnen a lady came forward, her face
beaming Stith the joy she expressed
when she said "Mr Holmes, you don't
know how glad I am to see you,fnr you
are the first person from Ontario I have
peen in three wonthe." The speaker
was MissiRose, the well-known dairy-
maid and lecturer of the Ontario Agri?
cultural: College, who had been sent at
the request of the Nova Scotia govern-
ment, to give instructions in dairying.
She said they needed it bad enough.
She had driven nearly200 miles in a
one-horse waggon, wth a Cream Se
crater churn, and other utensils there-
in giving addresses at stated places.
In her opinion the agricultural inter-
ests were a long way behind those of
Ontario ; the people treated her with
every consideration and courtesy, but
she was longing for the time when she
would be able to get back to this Pro-
vince.
