V Again I read in the government or- gans long tiradés about the Consor- \‘leinS trying to fument race and religious discords, but I cannot find on»: instan'e of a. Conservmive speak- er tolling either what his race or re- ligion is, nor yet alluding to that of his opponenis. but I can find way --. n .,..nmn+n-nmrl accounts of even one instan'e of a Conservative speakâ€" er telling either what his race or reâ€" ligion is, nor yet. alluding to that of his opponents. but 1 sun find very Well authenticated accounts of even the leader of the Liberal party say- ing "1 tun of the same. race as your- selves. I was baptised into the same church." and so on: while some of his followers go a great deal further end say “If you turn out your comâ€" patriot Sir Wilfrid Laurier, you will be governed by the Protestant and fanatical horde from Ontario, and so on in the same strain. And worse than all else there is to my mind convincing ebidence that some at least. high in offices, have been trafâ€" 1icing in offices. and every office seems to have a price guaged I suppose by the same amount of honor and emol- umcnt attzxthed. Thus while a senâ€" atorship rs valued at ten thousand dollars the situation of stationmasâ€" ter on the I.(‘.R. can be had for from 31000 to $500.00 according to the locality.

It is true that, Lhe conservaâ€" tives committed many grave errors, fell into many corrupt practices. and ‘were guilty of many wrongs. but they were punished in 1896, as they deserved. and should be again pun- ished under similar circumstances. Their past score has been settled; we have now to V deal with the other fellows, and as I (lid all 1 could to punish the Conservatives in 1896, I feel it a duty to do the 3am; thing again with the Government. of the day. I am not a Conservative, nor a party man of any description. I am looking at things as they are, and it is my opinion that the only way the people can hold the parties in‘check is by pledging them at the polls, and holding them strictly to their pledges. There is no sense in electing a Government on its pledg’es if you do not mean to hold them to those pledges, and to punish :t if it. fails in any one of them. ”Every in- telligent man who voted for the.

Fighting and Other Things Miss Violet Corley this week received the following letter from her cousin Trooper J as. Moffatt ot the Sbrathconas: Warm Bathe, Sunday, Sept. 96h. A PRETTY HOT FIGHT WITH BOERS My Dear Cousin Violetâ€"Y our very Welcome letter arrived only a few days 8'80; also your mamma’s, and I was, as “3031. V81? glad to get them, and to know that you were all well. We came here about two weeks ago from Reittontein abOut 20 miles the other side of Pretoria, Chasinzacommando of Boers nearly all the way. Behind here is a range of kopies and into this they managed to escape. They are now entrenched within a couple of miles of us and have been reinforced. This has been about the most active week we have had yet. We have been astir every morning since last Monday at three and have not had a chance to retire earlier than nine- There has been fighting each day. but nothing very exciting as the Boers keep almost entirely hidden and do very little (except on Monday,) but snip- lngo A LIVELY MORNING Everything was very quiet in camp for some days until daylight last Monday when the enemy made a pretty determin- ed attack on our camp. Their artillery made good shooting and landed shells in and around our camp, one lighting in the otficers’ tent. Fortunately for us .only a. small percentage of their shells burst. We were not caught off our guard. for our horses were harnessed and in a very few minutes we were hooked in and had moved out to a position whence we could return their fire, and where we had an excellent cover of small scrub. The firing lasted all day and we escaped with only about half a dozen casualties, but since then we have had our guns in good posi- tion every morning before daybreak. - q For the last week we have been attached to General Padget’s column. Our escort is a company of Munstersâ€"excellent men who fear nothing. They wanted to take a kopje on Monday night, but I suppose the general thought it would be too great a sacrifice of life and did not allow them. Our wagons are now ready to move at any time. It is rumored that we are going to retreat to-night. The boys do not like the idea of retreating, but if we do it is probably only a part of a larger plan. SOME SICKNESS. There has been more sickness among the boys in this camp than in any of the others. I am feeling well and getting along nicely. I was in camp all dav yes- terday, but have been up on this kopje ‘ (about three miles from camp) every other 1day since the attack. I was pleased to notice in the Post that you had passed the H. S. entrance examination. Accept my hearty congratulations, not only in passing but on taking such a high mark. The weather here is the best we have yet had. It is pretty warm during the day and the cold at night is not uncom- fortable. We have regular train connec- tion with Pretoria and can get our mail regularly. We are also getting our full rations again. When we have the time we can have hot or cold baths here, which is about the greatest luxury we have struck. I cannot inform you as to when‘ we are going home. All the boys are fready when the time comes. \Ve have heard that Lydenburg has been taken and Botha captured, but do not know how true it is. Do not forget to write again. Give my best respects to your caps. and mama and all the restâ€"Your loving cousin JIM. â€"Mr. and Mrs. James Bick of Verulam celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of their marriage on the 13th of October, and invited a number of their friends and neighbors in to rejoice with them, and to formally open their new house just com- pleted. Mr. and Mrs. Bick were called upon the floor by the Rev. G. Horton, and instead of pronouncing the usual ceremony congratulated them upon their health ap. peerance, their nice new home, and the happy and successful wedded life for a period of a quarter of a century, after which Mrs. Horton presented Mrs. Bick with a handsome gold ring, placing it on her finger as a souvenir of the occasion, to which Mr. Bick responded by presenting Mr. and Mrs. Horton with a purse of money. Mr. and Mrs. Coulter, parents of Mrs. Bick, acted the part of bridesmaid and groomsman, they also having enjoyed forty-eight years of happy wedded life, and yet hale and hearty. Hearty congratula' nions were extended by all, after which all, about seventy-five, were invited to partake of a grand supper prepared for the occasion. The presents to Mr. and Mrs. Biol: were very handsome and costly, too numerous to mention here. The enter- tainment was all that could be desired, consisting of music, vocal and instrumen, tal, etc. Everyone present enjoyed the evening very much, and say Mr. and Mrs- Bick know how to entertain company. All joined in wishing them long life and much happiness. The proceeding closed by all joining in sincing a hymn. “God be with you till we meet again,” and prayer by Rev. G. Horton.â€"Independent.
