Canada should send its paupers back to, England, TILE LATEST appointment to the 'Tory ministry is Mr. Charles OhIT. upper, a a .V., on of gir aS. Tupper. ...,,,t. iti.itz‘Ed Minister of Marine Hon, Mr. Foster, who has been made Minister of Finance. The young man has ability and -will serve as a good public officer, Mee Deana has again annenuced that he will not be a candidate this year for the Presidency of the United States, The Repaiblicau party have accepted this intimation as final, and they are now searching in earnest for a man to take his place. Anthony Depew is the probable candidate, The Ontario Government is determin- ed to enforce the Crooks Aot in every county in the Provincewhere the license act is in force. After this an hate). - keeper who may be convicted of selling liquor during prohibited hours on Sat- urday night and Sunday will be depriv- ed of his or her license during the en- suing license year. , The present spring has been the coldest for many years, the mean tem- perature being one degree less than the average of the past six years. The sunshing in April was 229 hours, out of a possible 406 hours. This unseason- able weather has not been confined to Canada, in the United States the tern., perature has been from two to twelve - degrees below the average. The chill- ing winds, after the disappearance of the snort, has had a very injurious effect upon fall wheat, and it is expect- ed. to he a shore crop. There seems to be a waking up all over the province to the fact that Mr. , Mowat, the Christian statesman, through the medium of his dishonorable whisk- ey commissioners, is using the whiskey dives to prolong his term of office. The Chatham Planet says : "The Planet does not wish to abuse those who desert their Party allegiance wheu it comes to a question of bread and butter, but de- • nounces the system that makes freedom of speech and electoral franchise impos- • sible, Whereby men are cornpelledto nocl as certain wires are pulled or be indang- er of decapitation. It denounces the government and the party that will stoop to an absolutism as that collaring, the Russian serf, and regards it as the duty of the people of Ontario at the neat opportunity to end the reign of the little political czar at Toronto." The Canadian farmers are better off to -day than the American farmers. • Taking fall wheat, the average price to • the Ontario farmer in 1885 and 1886 • was 77.13- cents per bushel and the yield 22.41 per acre, while in the United States the price was 72 cents and the • yield 11.4 bushels to the acre, which is $9.17 per acre in favor of the Ontario farmer. In other products the same, and although he sonae instances the price was higher in the States the greater yield per acre in Canada more than • counterbalanced it, barley showing a net gain of $2.11 per acre in favor of the Ontario farmer; oats, $3.07; rye, $1.80; corn, 810; hay, $3.13; and potatoes, • $24.40. But it might be said that it was unfair to compare the whole of the • United States with Ontario, the richest province in Canada. Compare the prices • and yield in the States of Michigan and New York, which showed the net value per acre in each place in 1885 to be as foliows • Ontario Michigan. New York.

VE.UY MANx of those who have forsak- en Manitoba in search of a 'better clim- ate and a shorter and easier road to riches then that Providence affords, are, it is reported, anxious to return. The great land boom on. the Pacific Coast, both in sections of British Columbia and in Southern California, induced a num- ber of Manitobans to give up a '• fair prospect of •success in one branch of industry or another and try new and fresher fields. The climate of the Canadian Northwest is severe in winter but no better eitiele of weather has been found in any northern country than the spring, summer or autumn seasons of Manitoba. Certainly the whole year through is more enjdyable and healthful thau in blizzard -stricken Dakota and Minnesota. The editor of a Duluth newspaper, formerly a resident of Winnipeg, ha 8 gone to the trouble of advising the people of Manitoba to stay richt where they are and manfully and hopefully work out their destihy instead of tryiiig 801110 OthOr place, where one in a thousand strikes it tich, while the odd nine hundred and ninety-nine be- come disheartened and have to get back • to civilization the best way they eat). This same writer, ha oomparieg Duluth and Winnipeg, gives the latter the fore- most place. Canada is a great ismintry, and it Manitoba and the vast regione ef the Mackenzie basin may be found those natural resotircet, the clovelopmea of which afford tem utierative occupation for millions of Anglo-Saxons who in the years to come evill pee* the habitable pot- tieris of Canadian Anserica, Tue. Nem, regelatione governing the einigration of ehildren to Canaan pro- vide that each child before embarking shall have a ceitificato of good health, and the Medical officers of ships must vaccinate all child emigrants that have not been so treated within seven years. The regulations should also have provid- ed that each child should have a oom- plete outfit of clothes suitable for this climate in the winter, that it should be assured of a home her before stating, .and that future provision for it should be guarranteed. A. vaccination mark is small capital upon which to begin life in a strange land. Notes of a Trip to South Africa. Man Dups.-In inST last letter I gave your readers a short account of our trip as far as New York, including, if remember rightly, our first days' experience on the S. S. "City of Chicago." In accordance with my promise I now give my own ex- perience of the voyage /taros the Atlantic and in doing so I thought I could not do better than follow my own diary, though when written it was with no intention whatever of publication. So begging your readers' indulgence, I proceed; --Sunday, March 18th, 1888. -Sea, still calm, with a cool breeze, and not much deck -walking done, Divine service was held ie the ea - loon at 10.30 a. ne, conducted by Captain Watkins --Church of E'ngland service. First impression ef Senday on ship board not very favorable. Began to feel light in upper story -a premonitor of something we have been led to anticipate, Monday March 195h. Awoke with the conscious- ness that all was not well. Porridge for breakfast, but couldn't retain grip on it, so left it on board shortly afterwards -my first contribution to the sustenance of the finny ttibe. Seagradually growingrough- er. My junior companion taken sick, as well as many more. Vomiting to the right of us, vomiting to the left of us, &c., tec. Oh ! the bliss ole sea -faring life ! Tues- day, March 20th. --Intense longing for land, even though it be at the 'bottom of the ocean. Waves dashed wildly over the vessel. Cup of tea and • piece of bun for dinner -no use, couldn't hold on to it. Cup of tea and guel at bedtime. want to go home to mamma" hummed my com- panion in misery. Wonder if we didn't echo the sentiment ? Wednesday, March 2Ist.-Very high sea Tuesday night and Wednesday morning; quite foggy. Good eea, with slight shower of rain. in the af- ternoon '• stiff sou -easter towae d evening. Breakfast on cup of gruel, and remained in berth most of theforenoon wondering 'how long shall these things last ?" Glass of ginger ale -froin the steward, who, by the way, was very attentive and obliging, helped the internal apparatus considerab- ly. Forced myself to the dinner table - disposed oe a cup of beef tea and a small piece of Veal. Spent considerable titne on deck, where the atmosphere was deaided- ly purer than in the lower regions. Cup of tea with a couple of soda biscuits satis- fied cravings of appetite at tea time. What little desire we had was to take a run over to Kirkton and catch a glimpse of the Japanese missionary, which we did in spirit. being prevented by adverse cir- cumstances from doing so in body. ''Mis- ery loves company," and 0 how consol- ing it is to think that our experience is only that of many! Thursday, March 22nd. -Hope revived • concluded to stick to the ship. Breakfasled very well- :barr- ing the depositing of a dishof mutton chop in my lap occasioned by the •swaying of the vessel. The day being fine, most of the time was spent on the upper deck, eacling, chatting, and musing on the won- ders of the mighty deep. Being now about mid -ocean a tidal wave broke unexpected- ly over the deck, immersing quite a few. Have a recollection of being there at time. 0, well, its a characteristio of ours to con- tribute when and where we can for the en- joyment of others. Passed a three -masted schooner some five miles distant about noon. Friday, March 23rd. ---Beautiful morning ; scarcely a ripple on the face oe the deep. Everybody on deck ; the este sick ones having all recovered and were found at their places at meal times. No- thing of interest occurred, the same daily routine being performed, which is becom- ing monotonous. •Sea not as calm as in forenoon, the wind blowing quite strong. Saturday, Much 24th. -Very high sea for the past twenty foar hours. Nothing but white caps as far as the ceye could reach. Consecitiently general depression, and in several instances a return of sea sickness, yours truly amongst the misera- ble number. Discovered on board a young mae, a namesake of my own, returning to visit friends in the Old Lend, after a so- journ of five or six years in America. Dishovery didn't prove a panacea for my sickeess, so 1 tumbled into „berth. Sun- day March 25th. -Sea still high but calm- ed towards evening. Was unable to at- tend service in saloon. Companions re- port it was grand to hear "Jesus Lover of My Soul" and "Crown Him Lord of All" sung. A gcod sermon in connectionwould have been very acceptable. Nothing else to distinguish Sunday from_ any other day --the majority on board being indifferent in regard to matter of religion, their great. et concern being that their stock of stout had become exhausted ; a thing the stew- ard assured them had never occurred be- fore. Ant reminded while making this entry at 6.30 p. m., one -and -a -half hours after tea, that about three thousand miles west of here, in a little bitt reyered village called Kirkton the Methodist Sunday School with its hunched and more pleas- ant familiar faces is now convened. No breakfast to -day ; cup of beef tea and couple of crackers for dinner : toast, dish of blanc mange and cup of tea for supper, with hope of doing justice to something more substantial on the morrow. Mon- day, March 26th, -Hope realized, at least to a limited extent. Very good sea, weather quite eool. Most of the day spent pcLracling the deck, occasionally cast, ing a wistful eye in direction of Erin's fair end troubled shore, on which we hope to gaze in the eerie, morning, for `the sky and the sea the sea and the sky lay like a load on the weary eye," end anything to relieve the monototy svoidd be gladly wel- comed. In this connection I oan't help noting the ehange tbat time works, My junior companion, a few day e ago, be- moaning his lot and wishing he had never been born, declaring he wouldn't for a million undertake such a trip, humming "Horne Sweet Home," ete,, etc,, now saye be free13r forgives the Atlantic for all the misery it had (lensed him, and is afraid the voyage is only going to be too short Lights on Irish coast seen about 11 p. in, Tuesday, March 27th.- Reached Queen - town at 5 a. m.
