A Batting Paradox.

VIM. E. Smythe, well known to e v
eral of our people. has the following in
the Forum.
Nevada is the victim OF circum-
stances. Rich in the potentialities Of
material greatness and therefore strong
in the capacity to support a social
structure, she presents the battling par
adox of a declining population in a
western State.
"lf she were located in South Africa
the nations of Europe would plot and
struggle for possession Of her minerals,
land and water; If in New South Wales
the colonial government would employ
the public capital to reclaim her de-
serts and to enable the surplus popula-
ton Of Adelaide to make homes upon
her soil; Germany. the imperial govern
ment would charter rent banks" tc
operate under a commission, in pre-
pairing tine land for settlement and
building humble houses to be purchased
by home seekers on generous terms;
if in Ho!Iard the servants Of the little
queen would extend the admirable col
onies which furnished for seventy-fiye
years, graduating thousands Of needy
men from beggary to tenantry, from
tenantry to proprietorship.'

Many Delegates Gather in London to
Discuss Trade Relations.

London, Tune 26.-The fourth congress
of the Association Of Chambers of Com
merce of the United Kingdom opened
here this morning. Between 800 and 400
delegates. representing the colonies as
well as Graf Britain, were presented.
Lord Selborne, honorary president Of
the association, welcomed the delegates.
He announced that real progress had
been made towards laying a Pacific cable
and that tenders would be invited almost
Immediately for the beginning Of the
work.
Discussing imperial defense, Lord Sell
borne remarked thai the whirligig of time
had strangely inverted the feeling in re-
lation thereto. A century and a quarter
g this question of imperial defense was
the result of a quarrel with the Amer
lean colonies, which finally lost them to
Great Britain. Today the same question,
he said, is operating more thar and 9th
err in drawing the different parts of the
empire together. The colonies he added,
now voluntarily adopted what America
had disputed, namely, that colonies ought
to contribute to their own defense.

those terms, free trade and "protec-
ton We're studiously avoided, but the
resolution directly opened up the ques-

however, by the appointment of a
committee to formulate and define a
proposal to present to the congress. This
was done in spite of the oppo-
sitson of the Canadians who opposed the
appointment of the committee unless
the congress first declared in favor of

The Manchester delegates promised to
any compromise and to intro
