It cannot be possible that there is
unyone base enough to raise any objec-
tion to the proposal to erect a national
monument to the memoryof the late Sir
John Macdonald. A man who devoted
half a century to the service of his coun-
try, and who was mainly instrumental
in tire creation of Canada as it existe to-
day, is surely deserving of so slight A
recognition of hie wonderfully successful
labors in the building of a nation.

The prisoner Garbutt knowa his own
business best, but bis willingness to re-
turn to Texas does not affect our conten.
tion that the system under which he was
extradited is bad. A man arrested in
his own couutry is wronged when he is
dragged before an alien jury upon evi-
dence that would scarcely justify a
Canadian judge in ordering the return
of a fugitive American to the United
States. The Canadian who finds in
Canada not a refuge but a home, should
not be ordered for extradition to Texas
as readily as the American, who it is
fair to presume, comes here to escape
trial in his own land.

The Butter Question.
Butter is cheap uow in our markets,
and there es little chance for any im-
provement in prices until a regular ex-
port trade ia established with Great
Britain, To , ,this end the creamery
system must be adopted and winter
butter making go hand-in-hand with the
cheese business. We must have unifor-
mity of make and a first-oless article, or
it is useless to seek an outlet in England.
Butter sells now at from 12e, to 15 cents
a pound in our markets, .and !this is not
profitable, for the material that goes to
make one pound of butter would make
three pounds of cheese, and this would
sell now for 91 to .91t cents a pound, go
it is easy Ito allow that making butter
now is a lesing game. This same baton,
if made properly at a creamery, would
eell for 20 to 27 cents a pound wholesale
in England, which would mean about 23
cents a pound to the producer here
instead of the present price of 121 to
15c. There is no use looking to tbe
American market, as certain ill-advised
persons propose,from the fact that their
markets are iilreedy glutted with a poor
natural article as we have here. There
is the oleomargarine, butternut and
cottolene in competition which we have
nut here, and which is sinking the dairy
butter in the United States. In fact,
butter is low on the other side, and a
recent market report of D. W. Lewis &
Co., New York, says the comparatively
low ruling prices this spring have been a
cause of surprise, and contrary to anti-
cipations of the majority of the trade.
in searching for an explanation it is
found there has %been an enormous in-
crease in the manufacture and sales tof
cottolene and :oleomargarine. These
goods were brought into prominence by
the high prices of all kinds of butter last
fain; cottolene (which is nothing but
cottonseed oil and beef suet) being taken
by biscuit makers, bakers, ete., oleoraar.
garine (especially in the South) going to
the poorer classes as a substitute for
butter. The United. States market,
therefore, offers no field for Canadian
butter. Indeed, the United States
themselves have and are looking to Eng-
land as an outlet for their surplus, as
bile following shows,which is taken from
the same report. It says: "Again our
(U. S.) export trade is gradually dwind-
ling down to insignificant proportions;
England has been drawinaher supplies
from Australia and New Zealand for
some time, and we regret to say our
goods have been out -classed -so much
so, that we can only hope for trade in
that direction from September toNov-
ember'that being the time -when ship-
mentsfrom the English colonies will fall
abort." e'en
This shows two things-rrst, that the
American butter has been driven out by
superior makes from Australie and New
Zealand and other places; and again,
that winter butter -making will just fit
inin Canada, as there will be a shortage
hom other places about November, and
from that out.
the trade returns for Canada for the ten
months ending 30th April showing a
total of $88,435,783 for this year, as
against $77,452,314 for the preceding
year, or an increase of $11,983,478.
In April the increase was $230,053.
The volume of imports also shows an in-
crease, though the duty collected isless.
For that month the geode entered for
consumption were $7,975,200, against
87,660,456 -an increase of $314,744.

The Wheat Situation
The wheat potion m one of great
interest to the general public at the„pre-
sent time,es large quantities are 'Held by
both dealers and farmers, as well as by
speculator% and the great problem of
the hour is whether it is best to accept
current prices and make the loss now,or
hold on for the advance, which many
well -posted men in the trade think in-
evitable before atiother crop is available.
On the other hand those who believe in
lower markets point to the short inter -
yds between now and the fist offerings
of the new crop, which Irvin make their,
appearance at St. Louis next month, to
be followed by larger supplies at Toledo
during July. Then, again, there are
no indications of supplies on either side
of the Atlantic giving out or even being
reduced. to proportions that woeld war.
rant the slightest apprehension of a
scarcity between now and the marketing
of the new crop. It is stated that the
amount of wheat in sight oe this •con-
tinent east of the Rocky Mountains is
35,106,000 bushels, agaiust 36,191,000
bushels for the week previous, showing
a decrease of 1,085,000 bushels; but as
compared with that of a year ago, there
is an increaeo of 15,863,000 bushels.
The total quantity of wheat in sight on
this continent and on passage to Great
BritainandEurope is 60,538,000 bushels,
against 70,434,000 bushels the week
previoue, and57,131,000 bushels a year
ago, showing a decrease of 1,896,000
bushelsduring the week, and an increase
of 11,407,000 busliele as compare:I with
this Hine last year.
So that with 11,407,000 bualiels more
in sight th m at this time last year, and
ample stocks: on the other side, with the
prospects of fair average crops in Europe
and on this side, what is there, in the
absence of any politioal disturbanee in
Europe, to create any material advance
in the price of wheat? Since A pril llth
the price of spriug wheat in Liverpool
has declined from.78. 7d. to 6s. sa. per
cental, or about 10 cents per bushel, and
it certainly looks as if a low average ot
prices might be expected for some time
to come. -Free Press.

The Territale Floods.
Though the United States Governrnent
has spent many millions of dollars in trying
to keep the Mississippi and its turbulent
tributaries within bounds, the disastrous
spring floods continue to recur witb in-
creasing severity, causing great loss of life
and property. Those who have studied
the subject assert that there will be no
change for the better till something like the
natural order of things is re-established.
To the depletion of the forests at the head-
waters of the great stream is traced the
primary cause of the calamities such as are
nowadaya recorded in the telegraphic des-
patches. It is an ascertained fact that the
removal of the fares= byethe lumbermen
enables the sun= melt the snow with much
greater rapidity than was formerly the
ease. The sell is also not nearly so retentive
of the moisture as ,in earlier years, when
the melted snow and rainfall in the days of
a ploutiful forest growth took as inany or
more weeks as it now takes days togeach
the river, and disaster seems uuavoidable.
The only cure for all this may teke some
Hine to provide,but the people will have to
come to it. The lands at the headwaters
must be reatforestecl, and when the trees
grow they must be kept standing, even if a
nationa.1 enactment is required for that
purpose. FIxpensive jettie, dame, and all
other artificial precautions are of no avail.
It will be well for the people of Canada
also to take warning from European history
and from the experience of their neiehbors.
Let us cut down all the trees that we need.
but let not our rulers be so careless et im-
provident as to forget to enact that the cut
down timber shall be replaced by replant-
ing sufficiently extensive to prevent floods
and droughts, such as follow the prodigal
sacrifice of the moisture -retaining agencies.
The statement published in the dailies
last week that Britain and the United
States were on the verge of war a few
months ago, is startling enough. But
those who followed the correspondence
while the Behring Sea controversy was
at its height could hardly fail to realize
that which isnowofficiallyacknowledged.
A world-wide Empire welcomes the
birthday of its Sovereign. Victoria, by
the grace of God, still fills earth's most
glorious throne. All the nattered tribes
of her political kindred rejoice, and their
gladness is a token of the unity that
pins in one nation all the lands that owe
allegiance to our flag. Canada in cele-
brating the day honors the Good Queen.
