It was not posted until late on the evening of Wednesday, and in the meantime the date was kept a profound secret. Did the returning officer hope to bring oil the election without the people know.ng it? A cm rc pondciit asks where the quotation on Mr.

Miiloek's map stamp came from. As before stated in the columns it is from Lewis Morris' Song of F.mpire, in which the following lines occur: We love not war, but only peace, Yet never shall our Kngland'a power do cresset Let all men know It. Iaujland shall lie great! We Lu.il a vaster Empire than has been! Ihe i jntcst in the Nelsuii riding of Koo tcnay is a hot one. There is one feature 1 II i which it largely partakes ot, ana tnat is the non of Dominion politics. On 'Mr.

Hume's committee are a considerable number of Conservatives, and on Mr. Fanvell's are a numU'r of prominent Liberals.

The XeNin Miner, in discussing the candidate now before the people of the Nelson division for their suffrages, of Hon.

J. Fred. Hume says: "Amiable and respectable, lieyond a doubt; but he is a man of negative qualities, and therefore ur.lit to represent interosts that require courage and determination to uphold them. Mr. Hume is too weik for a Minister; what lis more to the present pursise, he is too weak for a representative of Koo tenay.

'ii. it is impossible to say at what eo of money and lives a consummation may be reached. The American forces will certainly win, but it is not eemi barbario savages nlotie that Uncle Sam's forces have to light.

The microscopic microbe of the Philippine jungles is a inu. more to be feared enemy. The Insurgents, being natives of the country, are almost immune to them diseases and if they nre supplied with ammunition could hold out for years among the jungles and interior mountains of the country. Admual Dewey lias taken a wi course in devoting his energies to cut off all sup plies if siblc. The army has been Riven orders, now that hostilities have keen precipitated by the Insurgents, to strike quickly and heavily and crush Agu.n iido and his follower at once, lest the r.

mg should become general throughout the Islands. The civilized world haa been thrown into a state of excitement fcy the deepatchej from the front and are now on the qui vive as to what the future has in ftore. The peace treaty at Washington had a narrow escape in pasting and had it not been from the grave nature of the despatches, just before the vole was taken, it would, in all probability lave been defeated. A narrow majority of three vote aaved the country frum what? It is easily teen that the people of the United States are now ubout evenly dividi for and against the new policy of evpansion, but on the 6th of ISi'D, it has been finally decided that the Americans are not to be coiitined to this continent alone, (ireat future responsibilities now ret oil Uncle din but it may be safely predicted that the nation will ri. to the occasion and manfully bear them.

It is clear that the Filipinos nre entirely unfit to govern themselves and the Americans will have the earnest sympathy and hearty co operation of Great liritain at least ill establishing law and order in the new possessions. Tiiis may be the wotk of a century, but it will surely come. Ixt every thing be done to Listen this mo desirable consummation. LBAYIN'G THE OLD HOME.

Large importations of this class of horses, cattle, sheep and swine are regularly made to Alberta and other parts of the Territories to improve native stock the large range. The (iazette is of the til it if this can be done prolit mly b. the farmers of Ontario there is no reason why there in not a splendid opening for the bleeding of lite bred stock on a L.ige male for distribution among the inches of the Territories by a home lit in.

better tittcd to nd tiie (Innate. The l.a.tte says that stockmen are awaiting the opportunity of (in f'U I aging this i lass of busunna as they might as well have the prolan at home as to send the money east. The same might be said of the Ilritisli Columbia farmers. Alth it will be found necessary to im ut new blood to some extent there is no reason why the farmers of the West should not be able to produce almost all the pure bred stock of the best qual.ty which the country requires. It cannot be denied that the city of Vancouver is in a very dangerous predicament at the resent tune.

Should a conflagration of any great extent be precipitated the supply of water would be totally inadequate to cope with tiie Haines and the people would be completely at the mercy of the devouring clement.

It has ii A fallen IS feet six nvh es and there are but six fiet left.
