NEW FIELDS AND THE OLD.
A good many [leople in Ram pa it «lis
trict just now arc almost persuaded to
tempt fortune in some of the numerous
newer fiehls that have gained repute in
the great interior of this wonderful
country. It is certain that if when the
mails get to coming again they bring
favorable reports from the Kantishna,
the Novikakit, or any of the places that
were attracting attention a few weeks
ago. this camp will add its mite to the
restless throng that will scurry thither.
It is not on account of any fault at
home: it is simply the gold hunter's
instinct that drives them on and on—
often out of reach of the good fortune
that was almost within their grasp.
If the Rampart diggings were as new
as Kantishna, with what expectancy
would men delve into the untried
benches! What talcs of promise a lone
creek liketiarnet, say, would set going!
What a longing there would be to un
cover the secrets of two hundred miles
of untrod ground between here and

tiimdluck to them and prosperity to
the new camps. No lack of opportunity
will confront those who stay with the
old one. Miners have never been as
pros|>erous at Rampart as they are now.
Without means to work their claims mi
the large scale common elsewhere, they
have kept pegging away, increasing their
strength and improving their methods.
They are doing well and tliev will do
better: and few gold fillups will ever lie
found that produce as much money per
man, year in and year out, as this one

and her taking over these posts (only, of
course, so far as land defense is con
cerned) marks the beginning of the new
military policy of the dominion, which
has been fathered by Sir Frederick Bor
den, Canadian minister of militia. This
assumption of responsibility, Sir Fred
erick believes, is only the beginning. He
believes Canada should build a chain of
military depots from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, with forts established between
the threat strongholds at Halifax and
Ksquimalt.
DR. GLADDEN ON
TAINTED MONEY
Everywhere there are good words for

and iiiunly fight against the acceptance
of tainted money witli whieii to defray
tiie eost of spreading the gosjad of the
lowlv man of Nazareth. The newsiiaiiers

of tiie country defend liis course and the
jH’ople applaud him. It is generally be
lieved, though defeated in the vote, that
lie lias made such an impression tiiat
churches will not dare to accept contri
butions from those who made their
money by tilching that to which they
had no right.
The resolution which he introduced
and which was laid on the table at the
missionary meeting bv a Vote of 4*1 to 10
was as follows:
“Uesolved. That the officers of the
lioard should not invite nor solicit dona
tions to its funds from persons whose
gains are generally Isdicvod to have lieen
made bv methods morally indefensible
or socially injurious.”
For this resolution l>r. tiladdcli made
a -trolig speech. The keynote of it was
contained in the following sentence:
