Andrew OFT, one OF Eagle townships
substantial stockmen, was one of the
prominent men at the Rouse sale Satur-
day. Mr.. OFT is one of Barber County's
early and most aggressive republicans
and he never loses an opportunity to
knock three bagger for his party 80
long as it pursues policy which appears
to him to be proper and consistent.
But for all that the Barber county ma
chine has served notice on him that his
counsel in the ranks is no longer needed
and that the only privilege he has as a
republican is to vote 'er straight. We
do not know what he will do in the
premises, but he doesn't look like a
man who is willing to be domineeIed.

Geo. w. Finch, of Harper, was struck
dead on the road between Harper and
Danville last Friday by apoplexy. Mr..
Finch was prominent attorney and
politician of Southern Kansas. His
name was mentioned In connection
with the judgeship on the fusion ticket
this year but on account of some oppo-
sition in his party he did not permit his
name to 60 before the convention. He
was formerly republican but when the
free silver movement swept the country
In 1896, he went with it and since that
time has affiliated with the PEOPLES
party.

Experience has repeatedly shown
that the furnishing Of exceptional traf-
tic facilities to places where natural
resources were abundant has at once
produced an abnormal development of
business of all kinds.
Canadian economists are figuring
upon an influx of Americans to Can
ada in case of no steps being taken to
meet the extortions Of the trusts in the
United States, prices for living in Can
ada being in many parts fully 40 per
cent lower than they are in the United
States. The development Of mining
industries in some Of the older prov
inces, where vast mineral treasures
await the golden touch of the capitalist
might lead to the doubling of Canadas
population in a decade.
In this case, instead Of the Eastern
States gaining hundreds of thousands
in population from the influx Of Can
adams yearly, the tide would turn and
Canada would not only hold her own
natural increase, but would draw it's
quota from the Northern states as we'll
as it's hundreds of thousands from
Europe.

Grafton by those who are figuring on
the question is the new facilities being
provided for reaching the Yukon gold
fields over the Canadian Pacific. It is
expected that these facilities, cornbin-
ed with the fact that it is now practi-
cal to work the mines during the win
ter as well as the summer by means
Of new apparatus, will lead to an enor-
nous emigration Of the element which
seeks new Ell Dorados.
1t is true that these dreams may be
in some degree rosehued, but that they
are not all fmpracticable is also obvi-
Gus.
Critics of the proposed British Cam
adam plans call attention to the fact
that lines at present running between
Great Britain and Canada have not
been called upon recently to increase
their capacity, and have not done so.
Such criticism is of the most puerile
kind. It is well known fact that the
first-class passenger business Of the
Atlantic has always gone to the lines
providing the best and fastest service.
1t has been owing to the splendid YES
sells and service of the German lines
that England has recently lost much
of her best passenger traffic from New

who pays his debts" he issued the

The Democrat was one Of the big
figures during the civil war; 1t is re-
membered by some of the old timers,
and great numbers of them were shipp-
ed to the South. So many were the
characteristics of this man that col
umns would be necessary to tell the
story. 1t is known that with all his
genius he died in poverty in the West
as a result of an interest he took in a
great tunnel which was to connect east
and west of the Rocky Mountains.

Importance of Newfoundland.
The growing Importance of New
foundland as a Strategic point in the
defences of the empire seems to please
the population, and has had a povsArful
effect in soothing the wounds caused
by the past treaties with France and
the United States, which they have
felt were inimical to themselves.
1t is doubtful if France would ever
attempt to strike blow in the defence
of her tiny colonies should it not hap
pen at the outbreak of hostilities that
her warships were in the majority in
North Atlantic waters, a contingency
not very likely to occur, but still pos
sible.
To what extent the new liners would
develop industries and commerce in
Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Canada
proper, and the Northwest territory
generally, 1t is impossible to foresee,
but it Is probable there would be no
need for any attempt to be made to
cut into the business done at present
