Some say 500â€"cthers GOOâ€"Liberals cf the constituenCy of Victoria and Hal- iburton met in the Lindsay Academy of Music on Tuesday last for the pur- pose of choosing a candidate to oppose Col. Hughes or Dr. Vroomunâ€"which- ever the Conservatives may put in the fieldâ€"at the coming election for the House of Commons. After nearly a dozen prominent members of the party had spoken, most of them very brieflv, the cenvcntion was adjourned sine die, and neither we nor (we believe) any- body else yet knows who the Liberal candidate will be. Owing to the train for the north leaving Lindsay at 4 p. m. instead of 4.30, as advertised, we and two or three others “ not left,” and we are consequently compelled to defer further remarks until our next issue; but it doesn’t matter, as there is no hurry. “ Obtaining Possession.” ._.__â€" The Los Angeles News says: “T. B. Walker, whose name is fa- mous to all Minneapolis people, has ob- tained possession of the vast timber tracts in North-western California, lap- ping into Oregon, and is now called ‘ the lumber king of the world ’ There is sufficient timber to last sixty years He will build a railroad two hundred miles long, to connect this timber region with the railroad now connecting Cali- fornia and Oregon. “J. W. Lawrence, 3 Minneapolis man, has discovered vast coal mines in Petaluma county, forty miles from San Francisco. The discovery was made on- ly about ninety days ago, and the coal is already being mined. It is taken from the mountain and hill sides, and is almost as easy to mine as potatoes.” ’1 he Vanguard, published in Toron- to. comments upon the above items of news as follows: “ This is one way the people are rob- bed_of'_what belongs to them. The big capitalist [or the rich corporation ‘ob- tain possession’â€"-note the smoothness of the expressionâ€"of the cleniental‘re- sources: the forests, in this case. These are then exploited. The timber is cut down and sold back to the people, and thefb after all the elemental wealth is stripped off the land, the rocks and stumps are given back to the people to work 11p into ‘happy homos.’ And if It should ever happen that there should be even a chance of under-lying beds of Olieâ€"ll‘on, copper, or otherâ€"then this Will be ‘ reserved ’ to the capitalist. In such Cases the land. after being stripped 0‘ 1‘3 Umber, is sold to the gentle ‘com- 1110_n people,’ with the ‘mineral reserve.’ as is the case in all northern Wisconsin and M ichigan. That is, the people may buy the smfuce rocks and stumps, but the possible underlying wealth of nature they .may not buy. That belongs to “‘9 Hell. If there be any justice in the un1V¢1”8\'3,God and nature did not intend that the forests should grow, the oil wells flow. copper, iron, silver and gold be inlaid for the benefit of a fewâ€"to be ruthlesst plundered, and the lcavings thrown to the multitude. And yet the ‘shrewd,’ the ‘cuuning.’ tho ‘ for sec- ing,’ must be rewarded for their ‘sa- gacity ’;. and the price is paid by the tedious toil of countless creatures who curse the grudgiog ground that God made rich with resources. Socialism will stop this plunder." We do not believe that any disinter- ostcd person will seriously maintain that it is right for any single individual or any company, or trust or combine to claim the exclusive ownership of the natural products that rightfully belong to the whole people and that ought to bo administered for their benefit; and yet the Socialists, whose ethics (soc tho ‘Bi‘itlsh Encyclopeerlia‘) are identical with the ethics of Christianity, and who seek to do away with existing abuses, are reviled and misrepresented as the first advocates of every reform have been since the world began. The Los Angeles News does not say in what way Mr. T. B. Walker and Mr. J. W. Lawrence " obtained possession ” of the timber limits and the coal mines in Cal- ifornia; but it was hardly necessary, as all such possessions are obtained in the same wayâ€"either by bribery or corrup- tion in some shape or form, or by the government selling to private individ- uals for a more song that which is right- fully the property of the whole people. It has always been so, and always will be until the whole people rise in their might and demand a change. Messrs. Lawrence and Walker have each got a “cinch,” and any man who is under the necessity of buying a stick of tim~ her from one or u too of coal from the 0 other will have to payâ€"whether he can afford it. or notâ€"several times as much > o , o . as was paid for the labor that was nec- essary to produce the wood or fuel;, .4... ~' M-. '- of what is legally butimmcrally theirs will wallow in luxury. . We wonder how much money has already been, or will be, made out of “ the, coal lands in China sufficient. to supply the whole world fora thousand years,” which it was stated, not very long ago, the Rothsâ€" childs, or one of the family, had suc- ceeded in grabbing. What fools the “common people” are to submit to such enormitics, when the remedy is in their own hands. ' School Board. Fenelon Falls,,Mny 30th, 190â€"1. Board met at call of chairman ; pres- ent, F.
