BRITISH COLUMBIAN FOLLY.

n REPORT from Victoria states that at the
| | \ opening OF the Provincial Legislature OF Brit
fish Columbia Lieutenant Governor McInnes
in reviewing the affairs of the province and outlining
prospective legislation, announced it would be the
policy OF the Government to exclude aliens from
placer mining, and that the Legislature would be re-
quested to enact law to that effect
Referring to the gold discoveries in the Cariboo
and the Omneca districts and the country around
Atlin Lake he is quoted as having said In antic-
patton of influx OF population into that region my
Government has already taken steps for the proper
administration OF the district In order to conserve
the natural wealth in these gold gravels for the bene
fit OF Canadian miners and Canadian traders bill
will be laid before you prohibiting the acquisition OF
placer claims by aliens"
The unfrendness OF this act to American miners
will be noted and its injustice will be condemned
for we have excluded Canadian miners from the
placer districts OF this country; but the i'll effects of
the proposed legislation if it be carried out, will be
felt by British Columbia more than by ourselves.
Such law would be about as gross blunder as any
legislative body has committed in recent years.
1t requires no great degree of intelligence to per-
ceve that the chief need OF British Columbia at this
time is larger and more enterprsing population to
develop the OF the country The discoveries
OF gold in the province promised to attract TO it
thousands OF men VINO would nave carried INTO Its
wildernesses not only their energy and their labor,
but considerable amount of capital. These men
would have been the pioneers OF civilization and
cleared the way for the foundation of towns and the
construction Of railroads. To shut them out simply
to deprive British Columbia of the most potent allies
she could have in her industrial development
The United States, on the other hand will derive
benefits from the law should it be enacted and con-
sistently enforced By its operation many miners who
would have gone into the British Columbian gold
fields will be shut out from those districts and will
employ their energies either at home or in developing
the resources OF Alaska We shall thus be the gamer
OF that much energy and labor. In fact it would be
to our advantage if the British Columbans would ex-
clude from their gold fields not only placer
miners but all kinds of miners, and thus compel them
to use their capital and their skill in working the
mines OF their country
Whether the British Columbian Legislature will
enact the proposed law remains to be SEEN If they
should be so foolish to shut out the Americans
who might have gone there to build up their province,
we may justly retaliate by shutting Canadians out OF
Alaskan gold fields but we are not likely to do so.
When rival is committing blunder he should never
be interrupted nor initiated

EXPOSITION ISSUES.

y LATE report from the East is to the effect tina
! | \ while the space allotted to the United States a
the Paris Exposition OF 1900 is about 2oot
square feet persons DESTROYS OF making exhibits O
their products have already applied for upward o
100000 square feet The fact is stated striking
evidence OF the interest taken in the coming expos
ton by the progressive manufacturers, artists and
ricultursts OF the country.
1t is to be noted, furthermore, that strong desire
is manifested in the Mississippi Valley States for
making at Paris surprising agricultural exhibit
Commenting upon this phase OF the subject the Chi
cago Times says: 1T is contended by those who are
interested in sending creditable agricultural ex-
hibit to Paris that we have never had complete,
practical comprehensive display of the nations agri-
cultural resources at any great exposition Some OF
the exhibits from single counties in Nebraska at the
Omaha Exposition surpassed the entire agricultural
display at the Worlds Fair
The statement that exhibits from single county in
Nebraska at the Omaha Exposition exceeded the en-
tire agricultural display at the Worlds Fair at Chi
cago may be doubted. 1t is clearly an exaggeraton.
None the less it is true that thoroughly representa-
tive exhibit OF the agricultural resources OF the
United States has never been made, and the Paris
Exposition affords most excellent opportunity to
make one 1t is therefore gratifying to note Eastern
interest in that direction, for a liberal allowance OF
space tor an agricultural display IS .Doud 10 De OF
advantage to California.
We have at this time three extensive exposition
projects under considerations colonial exposition at
Mechanics Institute next fall, the Paris Exposition in
1000 and State Centennial Exposition in the year fol-
lowing The three enterprises will not conflict, but
mutually assist one another since each in proportion
TO its extent and magnitude will tend to augment pop
u1ar interest in exposition work and rouse the ener-
gies of the people to make the utmost OF the oppor-
tunities
1t appears the report given out time ago that
the space allotted to the United States at Paris IS
larger than that granted to any other nation Is a
mistake as the Russians have been conceded more
space than ourselves 1t noted moreover that the
Russians, the British and the Germans have each
made more ample provisions for display than we have
done.
An effort will be made to induce Congress to in
crease the appropriation for the purpose, and some
thing may be attained in that way; but after all the
greater part of the expense of exhibit will have to
BE- borne by individuals and by such States intend
to make distinctive State exhibits That is one more
reason why Cafornans should set about at once to
make ready for the work Since the Mississippi Val
lev is to make special feature OF the agricultural dis
play. we are going to have good chance to measure
ourselves against that rich and populous section and
show all the world what rural industry accomplish
in California

THE EXAMINERS OLD WOMEN.

= : HE virility OF the Examiner is astounding.
Though a beaten organ OF a spurious Democ-
=. racy it actually has national policy and
practically owns the country and runs the Govern
nent Under direction the annual report OF the Sec
rotary OF the Navy was prepared and the first thing
the President OF the United States does every morning
is to ascertain what the instructions OF the Examiner
are for his conduct during the day Congress is filled
with its representatives. who have nothing at all to
dc with the people and it dictates every measure that
!. is even seriously considered
r These views are derived from a careful reading of
the Examiner itself It's proclamations have virtually
the force OF law 1t controls the army; the navy for
egn powers and the religious potentates OF the
earth, and at its will summons them as Glendower
summoned his vassals from the vastly deep" On
this state OF facts the efrontery OF like Senator
sH6ar who only fills the place of Daniel Webster and
Senator Hale, and others OF similar obscurity, in
daring to obstruct the acquisition OF the Philippines
is surprising When they find however, that the Ex-
.aniiner has called them old women" they will at
once lie down to unpleasant dreams.

WAR DECLARED
IN FURNITURE TRADE.

! Yes, war is declared. No diplomatic
| beating about the bush; no protocols
nor ultimatums, but a simple opening
fire. Biff! Bang! Bomb! Boom! JUST
listen to the cannons roar.
| Why, what's the matter?
! Pattosien's, in the Mission, were cut
! ting prices 10 to 20 per cent on certain
lines of goods, and the high-priced
! combine didn't like it, and the pay-aS-
! you-please concern hated the thought

! gether and said, I'VE will lay Patio
STEMS in the dust" and so saying, they
! brought on the war by blowing up the
/ Maine.
What mean you by that?
! Why, they sent out East and got GER
! tain manufacturers to stop sending out
! certain lines of goods.
That didn't stop Pattosien's from
! selling them alice samee, did 1t?
My word, no! 1t takes good many
! flea bites and mosquito stings to XIII
/ such firm as that. They forgot Pat

| What did Pattosiens do?
| Declared war, l tell you! A furni-
! ture war! They have thrown down the
! gauntlet, thrown it right into the ring
! and let who dares take it IN! 1t is war
| to the knife! A fight to finish! They
fear no foe in shining armOr.
! How will they fight? What are their
| weapons?
! Import goods of a still higher grade
to take the place of the line that stop
ped short and cut prices for the higher
class goods; cut prices on furniture,
/ slashed prices on carpets, cut prices on
/
| everything. Whereas they did cut 10
per cent and 90, now they will cut 80
and 40 per cent, and they care not who
knows it.
That's well, but will they keep it up?
The question shows you don't know
Pattosien's and their great two-acre
| store in the Mission; their splendid
goods, their grit. energy, pluck push
| and daring. When they array them

Then we shall see some lively rough

What is the first voIIey Pattosien's
