The Spanish flagship was the
Colon. but it did not take long to
bring it to Il full stop.
After a fierce struggle, during
which all the Wiles known, to the
up-to-date politician had been re-
sorted to, the government in
British Columbia has been de-
feated at the poles. The result
shows the opposition to have a
clear majority Of from four to
six members which means the
overthrow of Mr.. Turner and the
advent of a new government. 1t
is not exactly plain what this re-
suit will mean to the people OF
Wrangel and GlenOra, but that
there is no chance of making
matters worse there can be no
doubt. The election promises of
Mr.. Turner would, if carried out,
have been of incalculable benefit
to the all Canadian route to the
Yukon gold fields and to the
merchants of Victoria and Van
couver. These promises must
OF necessity have been taken
with grain of allowance. in
view of the fact that factions
speak louder than words, and
Mr.. Turner 5 actions We're strong
l. at variance with his spoken
and written words.
It is fact that some one has
been criminally negligent to say
the least. in their treatment of
this natural easy and quick route
to the interior, and it is to be
hoped the blame will be put
where it belongs. The Stikeen
river route, under proper condi
tons, is the BEST route to the
Klondike. 1t is an all Canadian
route; all it needs is a railroad
or even a wagon road from Gle
nora to Teslin lake. Reports
coming from Victoria have as
sured the people of this country
that both a railroad and a wagon
road would be built: but when:
Is it simply campaign lie or are
we to receive immediate recog
milton? On this question hinges
the future of this route, and the
JOURNAL welcomes the coming
of any party into power that will
Immediately give us relief.
The cost Of building a railroad
from GlenOra to Teslin lake is
estimated by competent engi-
neers as being less per mile than
the average per mile cost of con
structing the c. P. R., and who
questions the wisdom of con
structing that great highway
across the Canadian continent,
which has not only opened up
millions of acres of productive
country, but has built Vancouver
and other cities up in a short
space of time from mere hamlets
to large cosmopolitan centers OF
trade. The possibilities here are
even greater than those which
existed in British Columbia prior
to the building of the c. p. r..
and the conditions are not less
favorable. There exists in the
country beyond Glenora the rich
est mineral country to be found
in Canada, capable of supporting
an army of men, a great many
of whom are already there
brought there by the allurine
promises of politicians apparent
ly to be made a sacrifice on the

Transforming Santiago In n Healthy
American City.
Santiago, Cuba, Sept. 14.-As the re-
suit Of the general Introduction by
Gen. Wood, military governor Of San
tiago, Of American methods Of con-
Quoting municipal affairs, this an
cient and always unhealthy city pre-
sents health record to-day which is
quite extraordinary, considering the
conditions that existed there a month
ago. Under the present system Santi-
ago is divided into five divisions under
five physicians, each division having
inspectors of sewers, streets, houses
and dispensiaries, with hundred
street cleaners. Five hundred cubic
yards of refuse are burned daily, dis
infectants are distributed wherever
they are needed, and a heavy fine is
imposed for uncleanliness and failure
to report unhealthful conditions and
death. Quick proofs of the benefit Of
the system are furnished by the de-
crease in sickness among the poor.
The daily death rate of seventy a
month ago has fallen to twenty. Fur
Their evidence Of the wisdom and thor
oughness of the new sanitary arrange
ments is supplied by the lessening Of
sickness among the new troops.

Surprising as the development of
electricity in practical ways has been
during the past twenty years it re-
quires a statistical exhibition of the
subject, particularly on the financial
side, to furnish an adequate picture of
this progress, says Bradstreet's. A re-
cent examination Of the subject fur
nishes some interesting details. For
instance, it is stated that as recently
as 1884 the total investment in cleo
trical appliances throughout the Uni
ted States did not aggregate much
over 100000, while at the present
time the total capitalization of cleo
trical railroad, lighting and other con-
Germs is put down as fully $1,000, o00.-
900. The $4,000 miles of electrical rail-
roads which exist today in the United
States represent capitalization. at it's
par value, of about 81, 1000, 600, 900, while
the electric lighting stations and
plants in the country are believed tn
represent an investment of fully $780,

lions being placed at not less than
