Editorial Outs and In On Voting and Morality
A heated editorial questions Chinese policy and election tactics while urging strict enforcement of voting laws. It rebukes opponents for slander about miners and prospector labor, mocks mortgage logic, and condemns government supporters’ personal abuse as unworthy.
One Vote Four Years Past Power and Labor Duty
A speaker urges workers to vote honestly on election day, arguing the workingman king returns only every four years. He claims past rulers neglected labor, warns of threat from cheap Chinese labor, and stresses that one vote now against the Chinese outweighs post election demonstrations.

Warning Precedent and Tax Controversy in Turner Government
The piece attacks J D Retallack for pressuring a government delegation in 1896 over mine taxation. It accuses him of acting as an unauthorized envoy to push a one percent tax on metalliferous mines, while coal mines remained exempt. The author laments his perceived unfitness and dismisses government organs as hostile, contrasting Canadian troops in Seattle with broader Anglo-American solidarity.
