A PHASE OF DEMOCRACY The retirement of Prince Louis of Pattehburg, from the seat which he has #0 long held on the Admiraliy Board, is his answer to the eriticisia of the press. It «is not at all appar ent that the prince, hy any act or deed pr expression, exposed himself to the Suspicion that he was not loyal 10 the crown of Great Britain. Royal : relationships do not seem to affect the situafion when nation has obcasion to 'go to war with nation, ahd Prince Batgoburg does not seem to have hesitated about the performance of any duty which devolved upon him. The tribute of Hon. Mr. Churchill is a manly and convincing one. He knew of the splendid service which the pringd had rendered as the first sea lord, and he knew, 100, of the pre- judicts which existed because of na- tiongl ties, and regretfully he accepted of the resignation. The burdens and besetmments of war are depressing en- oughif in all conscience, without the shaits of _unjust critics. It is to the eredit. of royalty. that it will defer to any aspect of public opinion and suf- fer on its account. Herein Mes one of the latest phases of the democracy. The, rebels in South Africa are easy defeathd. Reason--that they have not the native people or troops with them. Gen Dee Wot is still at large He must 'be exiled. He cannot be trusted again. : TRULY MISGUIDED MEN Twelve gears ago Christian de Witt, with other Hoer leaders, visited Bri- fain, was aécorded a royal reception, and pledged his undying devotion to the British crown. The British gov- ernment had treated the Boers in a handsome manner. It had treated the men who had fought years against British rule, and acted towards them as a great and gener- ous power. There was a desire to for- give the men Kruger had misled. There was no punishment of any one. The debt of the war was ussumed by * the only nation or empire in the world that could do $0 cheerfifily un- der the circumstances. General de Witt accepted of all the kinduess he was shown with grateful heart. In a book which he published later he de- clared that it paid to be loyal, that loyalty alone was "worthy of the nation which had shed its blood for freedom." The revolt in South Africa is surprising jn view of all the facts. The Maritz affair was trifling. . The Meyers and de Witt affair was serious. And yet the outlook is al ready bri .. Meyers as well ~ as ave beeh defeated. Only de ® to be dealt with and he will for two and sackcloth and ashes. The ol some men is hard to ac , but, like the treachery of old, it can be traced to tment or jealousy which himself has been able to use and ignoble purposes. © S------------ The naval 'poligt--wliat is ?--is not under discussion f It is not am issue.

It sufferod at the outset any, felt, and contended, W church had lost its inlfuence, orld would not be in the con- to-day. Christianity, as a # vitalizing force, has failed, people who are not touched, or whose emotions are not troubled, 'by pase ing events. The 'church is startled when a re ligious worker for a military camp writes, as Rev, Mr. Cameron did from Valcartier, about the number of men he met "at grips with fundamental spiritual realities." Among the thir- ty thousand mem in arms there was "a tremendous number who hormally never éntered God's house," who ao konowledged that "it was ten, fifteen, or twenty years since they entered a place of worship, who were not accus- tomed ever to give a thought to God." Mr. Cameron, as a result of many heart-to-heart talks, felt that the sol- diers of the first contingent were more given to prayer and sobriety, and de- termined "to stamp out the profanity which was, perhaps, the worst fea- ture." What id all this but a terrible indictment against the church, its lethargy or fallibility, its failure to reach and move the masses. This final earnestly-directed work of {the Y.M.C.A. shows what 'can be done. Does it suggest to' the church that it should chagge its tactics ? There is something amiss. What is it ? Public opinion has driven Prince louis of Batienberg out of the Bri- tish admiralty. , He suffers because of his nationality, and probably with- out a cause. The more's the pity. Jut the press said he should retire, and the press of England is power- ful. MAN THAT SEES THINGS I'he Winnipeg Telegram, like the To ronto News, worries over the possible attitude of the senate towards the governmént in the event of it asking for certain very large votes of money. lhe senate freely, without note of dis- cord and hesitation, consented to a war grant of $50,000,000. It would probably consent to a seco $50,000, 000 if it were needed and "asked for. The venerable senators have said noth- ing which would put them under sus- picion. Yet the. Telegram flames away in this dum-dum fashion : "I'he war has imposed other duties on Canada than" the providing of troops to fight in the battle lines of empire, The war has created unusual conditions within our own country. lnormous expenditures will have to be undertaken. Provision will have to be made to meet unprecedented do- mestic conditions arising out of the war. With the country's internation: al trade disorganized, it is econceiv- able that new methods of taxation may have to be provided. isha - tion of an altogethet 'unusual charie- ter may have to be put forward for the protection of domestic interests. What guarantee is there that a sen- ate, that dishonoured .itself in heeding the demands of Its master, unfaithful to his own solemn undertaking, would be loyal to a 'truce of politics ?' No one can imagine what the Tele- talking about. It has cer- tainly ' succeeded in . veiling its thoughts. Surely there are before the government many condlitions that are peculiar to a war, of unparalled pro- portions and intensity, and they will have to be met by legislation of a heroic character. That is eon- geded. But it will not be suggested or tried while the war is on, and the government and opposition are pledg- ed in" harmony while the honour and welfare of the country ares gram is most to work at stake. By the time the drastic measures to which the 'l'elegram refers are feas- Wble, the war will probably be over, jiand the senate and = the « dountry can pass upon them intelligently. Ip any event it will. be shout time to appeal to the people--a couple of years hence--and the people will then be pre- pared to vote. They are nog prepared now, not knowing anything about the wonderful scheraes' that have disturbed the Telogram's dreams, unless they are visionaries and can see what is not even apparent to the memb ars of the government at pres- ent. to vcte EDITORIAL NOTES The German navy is now due move out of Kiel and show what to it can do, What is the object of the Political Chub in asking Mr. Bour- assa to addhess its members at this time !

Extraordinary Bodies of Ore Found North of Seward -- Government Laying out Good Trials, Ottawa, Ont., Oct. 31--News of the discovery of a, great mew gold field north of Seward, Alaska, in United States, territory, was brought to the Canadian government by G. H. Collins, managing director of the Canadian Fish and Cold Storage company, or so-called Canadian fish trust, of Prince Rupert B.C. "Advices received by me from A. Wolf and A. H. Tutt," said Collins, "who have just returned from the Board Pass district, 250 miles north of Seward after having spent the sea- son prospecting, there, are to the ef- feet that most extraordinary bodies of ore have been found. "The ore occurs in enormous led- ges or dikes, ranging in width from 600 feet to half a mile, and some of these deposits have been traced for eighteen miles, and no doubt will be found to be a great deal longer when their size has been definitely deter mined. The ore, while rich in gold and silver, lead and zine, will have to be smelted to extract its values. ""Assayer Rae of Knik asserts that he has treated many samples from the district and that a ninety-eight per cent, paying can be made. One ledge, which has been examined by Wolf and Tutt, is more than 1,200 feet wide and is solid ore from rim to rim, they declare. "There have been thirty-five men there all summer, Wet weather hindered development, and -it . has been next to impossible to get grub and tools is, because of lack of trails. United States government engineers however, are building a. good trail. A bunch of Montana mining men have been there all summer and came out to: Alameda a few days ago with astounding samples."
