Tures jistivct eampaigos are now in progress, and in all there are pointe of in- terest. he first includes the besieged British garrisons and camps at Ladysmith, Estcourtand Mooi River. At Ladysmith there are nine thousand British eoldiers, at Estcourt, there have been two thousand, and at Mooi River two thousand,while Gen, Clery bas abeut nine thousand who are| advancing to the relief of theee beleaguered forces. General Joubert has in this vicinity and at his disposal about thirty thousand men; and the danger was that hem ight fell upon the smaller of the isolated British camps with an overwhel m- | ing force aud score a triumph before the relieving column could arrive. But this danger has been distinctly lessened by the junction of the scattered British forces at Frere. General Builer was at Pietre- maritzburg yesterday, and is, probably, by this time, directing operations in person. It may now be General Joubert’s turs to | euffer the defeat of a small part of his army I by @ larger force, and he will certainly | be between two fires ere many days. If he does nct raise the siege of Ladysmith and retreat, there will be a big, perhaps a deci- sive battle in that vicinity within a week, In the second campaign, Lord Methuen is advancing with 13,000 men to relieve Kimberley, where there are two thousand British against five thousand Boers, and Mafeking, where there one thousand British against four or five thousand Boers. Lord Methuen’s forces have captureda second position held by the Boers at Gras Pan,and will probably be at Kimberley tomorrow or Wednesday. lnjthe third campaign, General Gatacres is advancing from East London te drive the Boers out ef Stormaberg andjpush on to Bloemfontein. Interest just now centres in the relieving I: is probable that Gen Clery has been playing a waiting game ; for the longer the bulk of the Boer force can be held in Natal, tbe easier will be the work of Generals Gatacres and Methuen. -—wem +... —-- THE ASYLUM ANNEX. Noruine, practically, can be done to-~ | wards the buildiog of the superstructure of the “Asylum annex,” until next epring. But thereare special and particular reas» ons why the government should,at the pre» sent juncture, seem to be doing something about the matter. So we are told that the contract has been Jet to Messrs Parkman, Crabbe & Jenkins for $27,000. Premier id makes a splendid picture for | Farquharson has informed The Guaruian iS shat ' s@ry™ e “Before pro Governmeut offered to settle with Mr. Lowe and pay him for all the materia! in full at inveice prices ; also to pay trucKage for placing it there and interest on tne money for the tittie thé material remaining on the ground. Tiis he refused to ac- cept, and the Government have letters to prove all these statements.” It is manifest that before the latest de- velopment in this matter can be diecussed or understood by the people all the corres- pondence must be published. Will the government publish it? The information so far given to the people—apart from Premier Farquhareon’s statement—indi- cates that a high-handed act has been done. But the government could not afford to let the matter rest until the next session of the Legislature ; for they will be out of office. Sothey have oversridden the Lowe contract and patched up another agree- ment,—although little or nothing can be done towards the erection of the building until after the winter has passed away. — canneries os BAREFACED CORRUPTION. Ae an example of the barefaced cor- ruption going on in connection with the canvass of Mr. David P. Irving, ia Belfast, acd Hon. D. A. McKinnos, in Murray Harbor, we give below an exact copy of a “memo” which is being Landed around for signature near Montague Cross in the Belfast district. We may add that the organizers of thie corrupt proceeding are well known and are high up in the party. Feewehavethe corruption straight in black and white: “We the undersigned pro- mise to vote tor D. P. Irvingit work is commenc on the Road known as Bolger’s road, before the 18th of December and made passible for win- ter.”’ A mighty avalancke of majestic bar~ gains in clothes at Sentner McLeod & Co’s The best place to buy Car- pets isat ProwsetBros BAD METHODS. | As was expected the Government cam~- | paign in the Southern Districts is being conducted on thoroughly mercenary lines, When Sir Louis Davies warued the elec- tors at Pownal that if they did mot vote ‘for the Farquhareon Government tke ‘Southern Railway might be “stopped or ‘ hindered,” he unblushingly gave the key- i pote to a performance in which the candi- | dates, road supervisors and party heelers | are taking an active part. The voice of the boodler is being heard j all over the Belfast and Murray Harbor ‘districts. The supervisors are bunting ‘up doubtful voters and placing the bait of | fat road jobe before them. Party heelers |are busy exploiting new road schemes whats the road compensation is relied }upon to serve the same purpose as was (being promoted in buying rights of way for the railway in Lote 48 and 49. We are told that during last week, two new road schemes were being floated in one polling district in Belfast. It is said that Mr. Farqubarson returned to Charlottetown en | Thursday last with his economical views very materially modified, and it is likely that the supervisors and others entrusted with this branch of the work will be enabled to materially extend their opera- tions for the next two weeks. To the friends of the Conservative candidate we would say: Do not allow yourselves to depart ene iota from clean honest methods on account of the action of Your cause is good and We do not be- lieve that all the bocdle controlled by the | your opponents, the people are with you. Laurier and Farquharson Governmente, combined, and Sir Louis Davies’ threats, thrown in, can overcome the repugnance of the people to the miedoings of the Liberal rulers of this Province. But even it would be worth submittivg to temporary defeat in order to gain the opportunity of ripping up, in election courts, the -rotien work now being done in the interest of Messrs McKinaop and Irving. the We sav in their interest,—but that does not imply that the government candidates are inno. cent of the corruption going on in their be- half. A deplorable mistake was made in 1893, by the Conservative party, in not bringing Messrs. Peters, Farquhareon and al! their associates into the courts to answer for their notorious exploitation of the Provins cial treasury for electioveering purposes at thattime. Notwithstanding what was said at the time by Conservative speakers and writers about the road bocdling em-~ ployed during that electicn, it was not un- til the public accounts came down, eo ne months afterwards, showing the gigantic deficit of $119,000 on the year’s transac- tions, that the full extent of the boodling as realized. Ex-Premier Hardy, of Ontario, went to oceeding in this way the North Grey, in 1896, fo promote the elec» tion of the Hor, Mr, Patérson. Mr. Hardy led off {i the saturnalia of corruption ; inaugurated on that occasion by the Grit party with the infamous declaraticn that if tne electors rejected Mr. Paterson they might expect “cold justice” both from O:tawa and Toronto. Mr. Paterson was elected. Bui so great was the terror of his party aod himeelf, on the filing of a pro- test against him, ‘hat about half s dozen protests against Conservatives were dropped in order to save him trom the ordeal of a judicial investigation. The public conscience was roused by the im- morality of Mr. Hardy’s threat. His methods were pushed rurther im regard to the workiog of the Ontario maehine in hie interests, with the result that he was forced to retire from public life, Sir Louis Davies’ threat at Pownal was every bit aa bad a3 that of Mr. Hardy at Owen Sound. It would be a most interesting sulject for investigation in an election court, _- -— — THAT TIGHT FEELING in the upper portion of your lungs, is incipient bron- chitis.
