This is hnove that will heartily commend itself to every patriotic citizen, and the member who introduces such a motion and carries it successfully through the House will be the most popular men in Ontario. Why should not these brave men who have been honordd by the receipt of medals also have a grant of laud? It is true they may not reznove to the lands them- selves, but they have sturdy, brave boys who would do so, and there are millions of acres in the vast Northwest still under the control of the govern- ment. Let the agitation go on. When the loyal, stout -limbed Canadian boys return frora South Africa, they will ettlitless receive such a grant, but in meantime we should not forget • their fathers, who left their Totes in defence of our native land when an invasion was threatened by a horde of Fenians, also deserve some - thine more than a silver medal. - Some people would like to know how the United States would take an offer from England to mediate between the Filipinos and the Yanks "with a view to bringing about oeace."
