An u111 ittesecg fund non-lrtrtistinopitiiotm of the Government's immigration policy is on reveal in thus statement recently matte to a nee -temper per :,it. rvi(stwer by Mr. Aifretl B. ().rens (;`almtmdltmim Stmperiutemmd- eat of Dr. Daruado's Rorie:, after leis return from La Sezni-atureal trip through the Northwest. He says! --"I observed rather closely the result of the immigra- tion policy of the present Government and from 'what I have seen of the people they have brought out there --tile class of immixration generally that the pres- ant Government is responsible for --I should say thy are deserving; of the gratitude and good wishee of tbo country. Their policy has been in the highest cio- gree suceessful. .Tho people they have brought out have been a tborougbly de- sirable class for tho settlement of a now country. I have secii a good deal of the Donk- hobors. I have travelled. with Dottie. labors on the itnnzigraut trains. I have ,Seen them at the different distribution points from which they have been sent out to the locations that have been select. ed for them, and they have impressed me as being physically, mentally and morally a class of people who will do 'well in the country and grow up good and useful citizens. I think the same applies in large measure to the Galicians. If you see these people after they have been settled in the country for a short time you find they make escelleut pro- gress, that they are establishing them- selves in their homes, are getting a little stock about them, are working hard and adapting themselves to the West Country ' 3 have seen Galician girls in domestic service giving the best possible ,satisfac- tion, clean, intelligent, docile and faith- ful, and as laborers they seem to bo.sup- flying what is one of the trying wants an the country, farm help. In visiting year by year I have excelleut opportun- ities of judging their progress. I see people one year living in what can hard- ly be called anything but hovels a year or two later I find them in oomfortable substantial houses, as good as those oc- cupied by any settlers in the west. They bave the reputation of paying their way, they are bringing a great deal of land. under cultivation, and in a few years, the people of these different. European mationalities will, in my judgment, form the back -bone of the settlement in the Canadian west as they have in the case of most of the north western States." LEADING A FOREIGN HOPE. tA perfect howl of frenzied joy has gone up from all parts of the Dominion at the news that Hugh, Joins Macdonald bus accepted nomination in Brandon in opposition to Hon. Clifford Sifton, Min- ister of the Interior. The telegraphic reports of the convention state "The delegates danced about the hall and bugged one another for joy,"when word 'was received that Mr. Macdonald would accept the nomination, What an ex- traordinary demonstration when we `were told only a few weeks ago that there was no need to make any special /effort in Brandon, "any local man could "beat Sifton." Now the party managers glut in the field the one man of all oth- ers, from Halifax to Vietoria,whom they themselves proclaim to be their star per- former, and the strongest man in the ,tarty for the moment ---the lean who is definately announced as Sir Charles 1 upper's successor in the leadership. ..lin inexplicable waste of strength truly "when "any local man" could do the trick. The Tories know right well that it is a hundred to one chance in any pease if they can capture the seat at all, hand that it would be simply farcical to attempt it 'with auy but their strongest mid best.

There is e,amllothing lx, ssibly startling fn tit: wily the Tories are trying to shelve poor old Sir Charles. The morn - nig after Mr. Macdonald passed through Ottawa to, take pert in the stumping; the lscad of its editorial eolunl i the lee end "Hugh Jo11u'a the auul," and in th next column "ling Joint and 'Victory. Apart from the heartlessness. of such la gratitude, did the 'roues ever hear tit it is always a clapgeruus expedient t sway horses. crowing a stream. Possibly Sir Charles is not entitled t much sympathy for no ciao realizes bet ter than he does the small elmauces ther is of winning the e onsiug battle, and 1i appreciates the feet that is better to sin himself for the time being and boom an other man if by so doing he can improve the outlook. Some natural surprise has been expressed at Ilugh John's course itm giving; up a safe thing ie local politics to run big (bailees of defeat in the federal fight; but time country generally does not appreciate the extent to which he is 1 under personal obligation to the nippers 1 --an obligation which he cannot and 1 dare not ignore, Sir Charles has decid- ed that ho will be a good card to play in the coming fight, so Hugh John had to come out, There's the whole thing in a nutshell. Hugh John's feelings or wishes were never consulted, S AIIl3ATH pia: RCRATION. Times and seasons count for little with the Conservatives under the pressure of political excitement and sanctity of the Sabbath is held of little value when it interferes with their arrangements. Mr. Macdonald arrived in Ottawa on loris way to Montreal Sunday afternoon during the hour services were in progress in mew of the city churches. This did not doter a couple of hundred looal Tories from gathering at the railway station and shouting themselves hoarse, for the half hour the train waited. The more respectable members of the party,. and the citizens generally, were greatly scan- dalized at the desecration of the Sabbath, but there's a lot of shouting needed to keep up the failing courage of the local Managers. Evidence of the disorganiz- ed condition of affairs Isere calii;be found in the fact that no invitation has yet been tendered Hugh John to speak in Ottawa, because they are afraid to call a conveutiou to select candidates. Quite a change in a city which was always re- presented by Conservatives prior to the last general election. a W1N GJ AM TIMES, SEPTEMBER 21, 1:}OO TOWN1}JllEt;'1'i)n. NimT335, 4,1110 4 GQ111:l Bras.

A SENSELESS SLANDER. Sir Charles Tupper stigmatizes the the Minister of the Interior as "the most corrupt man that ever disgraced public life." Of course every body knows Sir Charles, and his amiable weakness of talking in superlatives is indulgently overlooked as a rule, because he so ob- viously cant help it, but this little out- burst is rather rich and choice even for him. The fact is that every effort has been made inceasingly from the day Mr. Sifton entered public life to discover something crooked in his conduct, but not a shade even of suspioion has eyer materalizect. Differences of opinion as to the wisdom and judgment of some of his political acts have of course existed. Under our system of party government every act of every public man is criticis- ed ani dissented from by some body! but shouting "boodle," "cormnption;" &c., dose not convict a man of crooked- ness, nor indeed does it carry any weight at all with fairminded people when it is kept up end persisted in, as has been the case with the Minister of the Interior, without ever an attempt to produce proof or a pretence that any exists. Moreover it would be the part of wisdom in Sir Charles Tupper not to attract too much attention to crookedness in Cana- dian public life, for his own record in connection with the actions of .many of his colleagues and supporters both now and in the past is not one that is calcul- ated to inspire confidence in the minds of those who place a high value in public probity and national honesty.

Some of t11:1 points brought out were; 'There should be a great deal more real Bible study itt the regular meetings, Our young people do 21,Ot know the Bible as Well as they should anti hence are weak, Literary mneotiugs along the lines of the study of the works of our poets and great writers, with appropriate nmusio, also the study- of the live topics of the day, might be held with profit once a month, These meetings should not in- terfere with time regular Christian en- deavor meetings. Better if thero is a general literary society in the coni, nmuuity to let it take up the literary work and lot the society as such devote its attention to Bible study and other rarely religious work. Tho Y. P. S. can imid the S. S. by providing teaclzets to fill gaps caused by absent teaebers, by visiting homes in whi©h time children do not attend. S. S. and striving to interest, the parents. In time of sickness the floral colnnzittee could carry flowers to the sick room and thus gain a hold. oil the inmates of the home. They could assist by malting it their business to call. on absentees from the S. S. and winning them back. The society angrist to keep the young people interested at that critical age when they begin' to feel too old to go to S. S. and by their interest ina. the Y. P. S. also keep therm interested in sei the S. S. Junior Societies were ueecled because of the Iaxity of parents in train- ing children and allowing them to do, much as they pleased; to train the child- dren for c?tizonship, to train theme for . tho active Christian work of the church. and to bridge over that space between. childhood and young manhood and womanhood when so many of our boys and girls wander away from the fold of the church, The topics discussed at the evening session were, The Prominence which topics on citizenship should receive in Y. P. S. programmes, introduced by Mr.. W. T. Fyfe, Wingham.
