Night before last the hands at Allison Tax, hotel waiters’ strike in New York has failed. Thg hotels have een applied, but the strikers were not taken back.

The voters how have everything in theiryown hands, gnd with the right given them ‘to nominate every éandidate, they obtain the power of making up the very best ticket throughout. The making of candidates has heretofore been in the hands of the few -noweach man has a voice in warning every candidate, and hearly all will be able to get their first choice for some office, and in every case the man having the largest mumber of party friends will be chosen. This enlarged power of voters in the Primaries should make every man who desires the saccess of the party, more _ eager to «participate, and the right should be in every case judiciously exercised.

El Won't BE Forcer.—Nova Scotia is preparing to test the right of the Brit~ ish Legislature to pass the Act compelling that country to unite with the Dominion of Canada. Nova Scotia will! appeal to the higher English Courts for justice’ and failing in that, threatens to try harsher methods. she She has “her back up,”’and evidently means . to fight rather ‘than go with the Kanucks. It is now denieu that Motley has had any written communication with the British Cabinet on the Alabama question.

Among the undeveloped mines we understand'that contracts to work them will be let on very favorable terms. The Inkerman, the Lone Jack and the Homeward Bound mines. can be leased on good terms to the lessees. There are other ledges in the vicinity which need skill and labor, and on which a°‘workingman can get a good show. It would be well if some of our miners would goto work on some of these known -good ledges. The Hope-Gravel Company is drifting for the lead, and as the bed rock ispitching south from the bottom of ‘the shaft, it is pretty certain that the old river bed will be found in a day or two.
