Chinese emigration to the United States,
not only preventing more landing but

who went back to China on business or
otherwise cannot return. The bill
doesn't say the Chinese must go, but
that they mustn't come, which is better,

selves in a seemly manner while trans-
acting public business, or else let them
step down and out. A few weeks ago it
was a free fight at the Stratford city
council between two aldermen. Next
London took its innings and only last

graced by the Mayor and Reeve acting
the blackguard by sailing liars, &o. If
the council room is the training school

.Tura week Brussels has been favored
by one, if not two, professional beggars
who make a capital living as the result
of their teasels. No fault can be found
with people aiding the needy or the de-

something that should be put down.

pitiable object he makes big wages tramp.

Every town and village has enough to do
to keep up their own charity account
without fattening up a lot of lazy, good

give them help bat rather encouraging
them to continue their shiftless style of
making a living.
"THAT" TOtAI' TO 31A 11T'0IIA.
To this Editor of Ton Pow,
Been Sm.—I have had my attention
drawn to the lettere written by one Robt,
Armstrong, of Morris, giving a sketch (2)
of his recent trip to Manitoba and S. E.
Aesiniboia. The first passage in his note
worthy of mention is the 826 miles from
North Bay to Port Arthur whish Mr. A.
says he believes is the "Disputed terri-
tory" and not worth dieputing about.
Has Mr. A, bean to school or does be not
know his geography ? It appears he is
talking like re crank as the above two
places are in the Province of Ontario and
what do we want to know about Ontario,
Is not Mr. A. giving a biography of his
trip to Manitoba ? On arriving at the
terminus of the C.P.R. South . Western,
Deloraiue, be falsely describes the town
and situation. The town committee
called a meeting to find good water and
two Wells were bored and only Iwo.
Plenty of salt water was found bat not
good. Another meeting was called late.
ly and good water was found by digging
at fifteen feet. Tho town is well drained
end has sidewalks made :of )clank. Mr.
A. says it is in a slough, This is untrue
and unjust to the town. T speak from

says the track end town are on Syndi-
cate land. I wish Mr. A. to know ho is
wrong. The track and town aro on Mr.
Frannie Lovett's homestead, but a few
villas and a store aro on land belonging
to the C. P. R. I can very well see why
Mr. A. is backing; rap Mr. Farrow, 1'x•133,

WHAT AS IOSALTY'l
To the Editor of Trot Poem.
Srn,—In a recent issue of Tae Pose
there was a letter published descriptive
of the N.W.T. written by Jamas Young
I give him great credit for his ability for
being able to put so much taffy and soft
nonsense in so small a space. EIe was
delegated by the Orangemen to represent
them at the Grand Lodge held in Win-
nipeg and ho should not have let his
Orange zeal run away with bis wit. He
says it 15 a great country flowing with
wild roses and honey, and had he been a
month earlier he would have seen the
prairie in fall bloom with orange lilies.
Ho further says that the Government
and C.P.R. ofiiolale are all very obliging
to the good loyal people coining to the
conntry, no doubt meaning the Orange-
men. It would be refreshing to know
what Mr. Young means by the word
loyal. It is said that where ignorance is
bliss it is folly to be wise, Had ibir.
Young read the history of the past ho
could not ascribe much Icing loyalty to
Orangemen. He 0115111 to know that
Orangoism sprung from rebellion and
was instituted by the offspring of rebels.
He does 1100 appear to know that all the
liberty the world bas aver got was by
the men called rebels. Mr. Young says
"But any person with rebellious inclin-
ations are soon spotted by the settlers
and it would be just es well for them if
they never saw the country, as the settlers.
tell them in plain English that they have
no use for them." How did the 'settlers'
allow the Orangemen to remain there ?
for there is no class f
men inr'
o Britain
or
its appenclagee which have such an in-
consistent record for their rebellious ea-
ture as Orangemen. In 1798 they raised
n rebellion in the North oflrcland, which
is now attributed to the Roman Catholics
of that Country by such men as Mr.
Young. When the people of Canada
rose in rebellion in behalf of responsible
government the Orangemen opposed
there, and after responsible Government
Was gained the Orangemen supported the
party that burned the Parliament build.
Inge in Montreal. They also supported
the party that rotten -egged the Queen's
representative, the Governor-General of
Canada. They also showed their kind
of loyalty by supporting the party who
imposed hostile tariffs against the com-
merce of Great Britain. Mr. Young
says, "This is a great country for Orange-
men. I can safely estimate that nine
out of every ten are members of the
glorious Order and the Lord is iroeper-
ing them in the bountiful land. the pra-
iries." Had he said one out of every
ton worn Orangemen he would bo nearer
the trntli. Does Mr. Young meati in
his letter Manitoba se well as the N.W.
T. Then why dict Mr. Greenway suc-
ceed in the last election ? It is a well
known foot that every Orangeman in
Manitoba voted against him and hie sup-
porters. How is it that so many Orange-
men leave the Dominion of Canada and
go and settle in the United States of
America ? Why do they not remain in
this "bountiful land" described by Mr.
Young ? When it is taken into consid-
eration the obligation these Orangemen
of Canada have taken as they have sworn
"I will ever maintain the connection be-
tween these colonies and the mother
country," and after all they have gone
and are going to the United States of
America, and when they settle there they
have to swear "I will maintain the Gor-
ernmont of the United States of America
against all Crownheade, Ringsandpoten-
tates, more especially the Queen of
Great Britain," The next time yon are
sent a delegate by the Orangemen, Mr,
Young, try and use a little more common
sense. Yorre truly,
AN Orn COUNTRY. ONAOOEtreet.
P.S.-The obligation taken by an
Orangeman in the Old Country is, "I
will be loyal and true to the Icing while
in his realm," A.O;C:O.
