The cataieptic Victoria Times has been
the government relief expedition to the
Klondike. The Times fairly exhausts its
vocabulary of denuncIation and roars out:
1T IL a downright insult TO Canada:
gross and unwarrantable insult, which only
a government devoid of diplomatic knowl
edge and utterly reckless OF consequences
could dream OF perpetrating. That maniac
expedition Ahould be stopped at the from
tier. the military escort disarmed and the
alleged relief supplies charged duty to the
full limit OF the tariff. That might serve
to teach the American government that It's
insoience is not appreciated north Of the
line"
The United States. then. insulted the
British government when II sent a ship
load Of wheat to the starving Inhabitants
OF India, subjects OF Great Britain: and,
We suppose, 1t offered a gross and unwar-
rantab.e insult to England when 1t sue
cored the miserable inhabitants OF Ireland.
Il now proposes to so TO the last extreme
OF offering a third and final insult to the
dominion government by relieving prob
able famine among its own citizens. who
happen TO be on Canadian soil. This is too
much--much too much. Perhaps interna-
tionai warfare may be avoided by adop-
ton of the old method OF appointment OF
individual champions. who shall determine
this tremendous controversy each for his
own country. Let the Times trot out its
warrior. We name Gen. Ballaine.

How the increased business for Mex

Henry. Formerly. he says, the wealthy
MexIcans lived on their great hacisndas
like feudaI lords. They had their enor-
nous estates, cultivated by thousands
az poems, by whom they were rever-
enced with devotion scarcely second
to that accorded the Almighty. They
had few associates. were afraid TO trust
each other. and for the most part lived
entirely To themselves. Nothing more
clearly illustrates the extent OF the
awakening of this great country than
the fact that these men, stimulated by
the example OF foreigners, are now
