It is also a lamentable fact thatewe are not alone in maintaining this mistakea theory. The prevailing idea of Canada abroad is thist is a land of almost perpetu- al snow and ice. It is only a very few years since the people of the east had but a misty irlett of Manitoba, and emigrants to that far off land.were treated with that sort of patronizing gentleness which we generally affect to -wards those who are a little " touched." Bat the horizon of our know- ledge is retreeting and our view of our own conntry is expanding, es our view of a land- scape would exphnd by the breaking up of a' heavy fog. Manitoba and that portion of the Northweet whieb can be reached by the rail-, ways is now about as femiliar as the East, but beyond thet very little indeed is know n of the cOuntry. The prevailing idea is tha.t it is not fit for settlement, chiefly on account of the intense cold. In an article in - the Review of Reviews on the Piessibilitres of the Great North:West," Mr. S. A. Thomp- , son, Secretary of the - Duluth Chamber of Commerce, gives us some fresh. light on'this subject. He states thst the organized prov- inces and territories in the Canadian North- west, including British Columbia, comprise an area of 1,245,305 spare miles, as large as all the Staten of thi Union east of the Mississippi River, with some to spare. The' unorganized territory beyond these prov- inces and districts comprises 1,600,000 square miles more. This great coun- try is divided naturally into three parts ; viz, : that part north of Lake Superior, be- tiween Hudson's Bay and the great chain of inland lakes ; that great stretch of fertile plain and woodland between the above men- tioned chain of lakes and the Rocky Moun- tains, and extending from the Iaternational boundary almost to the Arctic Ocean ; the .Alpine region extending from the -Reeky Mountains to the Pacific Coast. Of these three territories 'the eecond is the Most valu- able from an agricultural mita of view. Only 'an exceedingly snutll portion of it is under settlement, yet wheat and barley can be grown in every part of it. It is all fine grazing land, the finest in the world proba- bly, and strange as it may seem, the climete as far north as the shores of Great Slave Lake is essentially -the same as in Iowa. In fact the first Spring flower, the Wind or " Gosling," flower, ivhich makes its :rip- pearance in Iowa abont April 15th, is found in profusion on the Peace River on April 20th. This phenomenon in climatic condi • thins is owing partly to the fact that the altitude decreases as one goes north, and Pirtly to the feet that warrn winds from the Pacific are prevalent. Another remarkable thing is, that la the Canadian Northwest there are ten thousand miles of water nevi- , gable by steamboats. One can go; from Winnipeg to the Arctic Ocean almpst entire- ly by water, the pertiges aggregating only one hundred and fourteen miles. '" In fact the first thing that strikes one on looking at a good mep of the Cenealian North-West is its maguidoeat system of water-waya. Great Bear lake is one handred and fifty miles in length, Athebasca lake tw,o hun- dred and thirty and Great Sieve lake over three handred, while the McKenzie River is said to be wider, deeper and grander than the St.. Lewrence. It • furnishes, with its tributaidea, more than twenty five hundre d miles of navigable waters. It is prepos - tereus to think that this immense territory, with its magnificent navigable system of watetways, shauld rem tin idle long. There are great fliffioultiee to be , overcome, but they will be oVecrcome, araevents march rap- idly in this age.- In 1823- the cater in charge of Port Dearborn, on Lake Mich- igan, reperted as follows to the war depart- ment : " I respectfully recommend thet the post be abandoned, for the reason thit the surrounding country ia of such a character thee it is impossible that it can ever support a sutfieient population to justify the ex- pense necessary to maintain a fort at this point." That Was just seventy years ago. At that time lowa, Minnesota and the Dakotas were u,ndreamed. of and to the westward of the fort etretched a territory entirely unknewn, and peopled only by the roving bands of Indiams. Where the little fort stood Seventy years ago, in the midst of a vast swamp; end on the edge of a lake on whicla no sail was ever seen, now stands Chicago. It tney be but idle dreaming to suppose that ur C•inadian North-West will undergo a sr illar transformation, but why should this. hing not come about ? Between t ie thickly settled part of On- tario and th boundary of Manitoba, lies a rocky, forbh ding, desolate stretch of cOnn- try which vtould daunt the heart of the .most sturdy pioneer. There are good spots of farming land la it,:but the groater part is hopelessly barren and rooky, yet bele h&ve been discoveked some Of the riohest mineral deposits the world has ever seen, and al- ready big_ finds have been made. The chances are that within twenty years it Will - be one of the most thriving mining grou s in the world for precious metals. British Columbia is said to be equally rich in pre- lims ores, especially gold. The balance of the unoccupied territory, filer nothing else, is valuable,for the furs it produces. Here then is a great • producing country, a farming, mining, fishing and fur -bearing of which s just becoming apparent to -the i country, net being opened up and_the valtio ?-4 World at largeaind our shortsighted govern- ment has for fourteen •yeare been keeping a barrier around *the country, keeping people and capital out of it, taxiug those within to a' the extremity of endurance to support man• nfacturers they don't need, making the de- velopment of the country almost impossible by fastening monopolies on the people. It is like setting men to farm, or fish, or mine, with their hands tied. However, if the in- dications are to be trusted, Canada will soon be free from this suicidal policy and once the tide of progress gets amoving noth- ing can stem its course. Give the producers a chance and the manufactories will spring up like mushrooms, but you can't work well with the cart before the horse. Th Elections in the United States. Two weeks ago elections for the State officere, and menibers of the State Legisla- tures were held in New York, New ;Jersey, Maseachusetts, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Iowa, and some of the Southern States. In the Southern States there was little change, the Democrats, of course, getting about every - 1 'hinge as is usual, and in Pennsylvania the tame maybe said of the Republicans. In New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and °blot however, there were very large Repub. Been gains,and the party press are very jubi- lant, clairaing a great victory for Protectioe. As far as the two first Mentioned States are concerned, they have little reason to crow on this account. In New York the defealt of the Democrats was caused by a general rebellion against the machine element in the Democratic party, represented by Senators Hill and Murphy, and Lieutenant-Goternor Sheehan, which was brought to a crisis by the attempt of therebosses to force Judge - Maynard, the man who stole the Duchess county return and thereby rescued the -State Senate for the Democrats, upon the electorate as Judge of the Court of Appeals. The tariff had nothing whatever to do with the result ; in fact it was scarcely mention- ed in the campaign, but honest Democrats voted for R,epublicane rather than counten- ance the acts of those who hel& the reigns of power in their own party in the State. In New, Jersey a somewhat similar state of affairs existed. The race track and gam- bling element, which has made tbat State its headquarters for some years, had gained control of the Demotratic machine, and the better class of people refined longer , to sub- mit to their dictation. In Massachusetts and Ohio things we e different. These are both strongly Repu Beau States, though in the former Governor Ruesell, by his great personal popularity and akilful campaigning, had managed to win the Governorship for the Democrats, but this year a new oandi- date, Mr. John E. Russell, was in the field, the hard times had made the immense industrial population of the State restless and dissatisfied, and the. statements of the Republioan orators to the effect that the avowed determination of the Democratic administration to reduce the tariff had caus- ed the penio by uneettling the entire busi- ness community, found ready believers. In the latter, Governor McKinley, the apostle - of high tariff, was again in the field, and succeeded •in convincing the farmers of Ohio and a sufficient number of the Indus- trial population, that the policy Of the Democratic party would injure them, and was returned by an increased majority. In Iowa the issue was somewhat obscured .by looal metters, and, while the Republioans redeemed this State, they can hardly claim that the tariff had much to do with it. It ,is not likely, in view of these things, that President Cleveland and his supporters an Congress will be mech`frightened, or will be induoed to modify in any meesure their plans in regard to a revenue tariff. A Salutary Resolution'. Evidences are becoming numerous which got° prove that even the meet staunch Con- servatives, and those meet warmly attached to the present Governmenaare getting their eyes opened on the iariff question. These people will beer a great deal for tleasake of party, but the mon<ent they become con- vinced that they are being -ble d and impov- erished by the existing policy, they will turn againet itt no matter how essential it may be conaidered in the interests of party. This light is now, evidently, commencing to dawn upoh them. They are coining to see the folly of a system that iinpoveriehes themselves while it enriches the Massey' and Redpaths, and other pl utocrats of that class. They are getting their ..eyes opened to the foolishnees of the poltcy which takes the hard-earned money oUt of their own pockets to maintain in elegance and luxury such political barnacles as Ikobert . _ ham, Dr. Montagee, and thousands of others of like ilk. Having their eyes opened to these facto, they are new co mmencing to de- mand a change. It is„ at any rate, a hope- ful, sign when Conservative Associations can pass resolutions auch as the following,which was unanimously adopte the Chester Conservative Aseociation a few days ago. Chester is situated in East York, a con- stituency _represented in the Dominion Par- liament by one of the leading apostles of the N. P., and it is to be hoped this resolution will have ft salutory influence upon him, and that the action of the East York Conserva- tives will be emulated by the Conservatives of every other constituency. A few such resolutions would have an amazing influence upon the opinions and policy of the Govein- merit. The following is the resolution : " In view of the prolonged commercial depression through ut' Canada, and on ac THE H6RON 9EXPOSITOR, count of the heavy duties upon imports, re- duoing the pnrohasini power of our our- renoy by neatly 40 per '*erit ; and that as a matter of principle we 4bjpot to such high taxatioo, made solely ithat we should be comPelled to purchase (forth' most part) ver tures of this country to cheaper and superior go Great Britain ; and on the prinoiple that Canadian manufacturesAif any good, can easily stand upon thei merits, andmeed not, therefore, fear a, ri come a .matter of 3,000 with them ; if, on the oth not good enough -for that, worth bolstering up by an t the highest price inferior =nuke. the exclusion of ds manufectuted in tariff ; Therefore, be it resolved that this As.

Dr. Grant, the clever abd versatile Principal of Queen's College, iCingston, is not only an eminent and able expounder and preacher of the Gospel,but hie also keeps a keen eye -upon the general affaiie. of State. He has recently contributed a genies of racy and cleverly written letters to the Toronto Globe on the public political ; questions wbioh are at present agitating th people of this country. Dr. Grant is never say just . what he thinks. hews by the line let the chips they may, and although many tirely agree with his views up questione, none who read his lette to scimire his easy, racy style an and uncompromising condom atio hiroonsiders to be wrong, rres party or individuals.

He says : " With regard to the railway p wer the last general election was an eye opener, No matter how much we are inters ted, we are not permitted to send a poor f iend to the polling booth, but a railway can pay for thousands sod send them hundreds f miles on the plea that he can use his own convey- ance. To class railways that the coun ry con- tributed millions to build and to w ich the country has given franchisee worth Aliens more, with a private conveyance, is so pre- posterous that the man who uses s eh an argument must be either a Ri Van Winkle " or think that he is talki g to a fool. Fortunately, at the last elect on our two great railways took opposite eid s. But they eau combine, and they will do so whenever it is their interest, and i that event, we can 'no longer be called a self. goaerning people. All "solid " vo es are dangerous, and a vote that is solid o mer- cenary grounds is worse than one tha is de- termined by sentimental consideratio s. It is more vulgar and more unscrupulou ." AN election to fill the vacancy a the House of Commons caused by the reti ement of Mr. Hugh J. McDonald is now I pro- gress in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and wi (dose on Wednesday next. The Conse vativee °and idate is a Mr. Campbell, a la ydr of the city, and the Liberal candidate i Hon, Joseph Martin, ex-Attorney,General i Mr. Greenway's Government and the fa r of the Manitoba School bill which has reated such a commotion in i• the countryl The division of Winnipeg in which the antic, n takes place is almost hopelessly To y, al.' though' both candidates are pledging them- selves to a tariff for revenue only Mr, Martin is an exceptionally able man and a powerful opponent and it need not serprien anyone should he be elected. Thanks to thevillainoue franchise act the voters' lists h eve oot been corrected for nearly four years and it is said that there are nearly as many bona fide voters off the liste and who will consequently be debarred frdm voting as there are now legitimate voters on the list. This makes a calculation of the result very micertain. same., ELECTION§ to fill vacancies in the Provin- cial Legislature will shortly take place in two constituencies, viz. : North Bruce and East Lambton. In both constituencies the elections will take place on the 2ad of Dedember. The result in these constitu- encies will be looked forward to with con- siderable interest. They will afford, to a. certain extent, an opportunity to both parties, 'tto burnish up their weapons for the general elections which muSt soon follow. The result also, will, no deubt, be looked upon as a sort of barotnelier,' indica- tive of the strength of the respective par- ties when the grand battle, cameo.

Preston occupied for some years, and which was rendered vacant by the retirement of the incumbent to ac- oept the Provincial Librarianship, has been filled by a worthy successor. Mr. Alex- ander Smith, for the past six years engaged in journalism in the city, a graduate of Toronto University, and a barrister by pro- fession, has accepted the appointinent, and will immediately enter upon the duties of his office. It would have been a difficult undertaking to find a man more thoroughly qualified for the position than Mr. Smith. Though he has not yet reached his 30th year he is a min of large and diversified in- formation ; he has a thorough knowledge of Canadian public affiairs and en extensive acquaintance with the personalities of political life. Notwithstanding the faot that he has yet taken no very prominent part in political strife, he is and always was a stanch Liberal, being a native of the good old County of Bruce, whete-Liberals of the Liberals are to be found. The/iberal party has been fortunate in 4ecuring a man of Mr. Smith'e • well-known capabilities, The first important work that he will be called upon to undertake will be in connection with the Provinoial bye -elections in North Bruce and East Lambton. [FROM THE MAIL, The Liberal Party of Ontario have en- gaged a new organizer to succeed Mr, Pres- ton, inthe persen of Mr. Alexander Smith, B. A. who for , eeveral years has been a member of The Mail staff. It may be said that this is a case of modest worth and solidity of character ohteining due recogni- tion. The office was not sought by Mr. Smith, and he assumes the important pai- d the Schnadhorst of Ontario becausel the managers of the Liberal Party have formed the opinion that he is the best man for the place. A son of the soil, whose early ag- ricultural experience on his father's farm in Bruce county gave him a grasp of the coun- try which he could get in no other way, Mr. Smith's subsequent course has shown him to be the possessor of rare qualities of mind and chareoter. Possessed of a large fund of common sense and never too proud to learn from anything or anybody that could give him fresh light on the matter in hand, he has exhibited the oarefulnessi of verification and mastery of details which mark the- true student of affairs. He has a strong grasp of Canadian politics, and while by conviction a Liberal, he hae never been a blatant par- tisan, and though poseessiog definite opin- ions, he has never been wont to try to force them upon others. Efe is a fair speaker, a lucid and forcible writer, and above all a man of the moet sterling character, who can be depended upon to carry through the thing to which he puts his hand with patient energy and unremitting toil. He has earned the good opinion pf his employers, who part from him with regret, and he has acquired the esteem and friendship of his journalistic brethren. The managere of Dhe Liberal Party have made a good choice. If they had sought throughout the ranks of the ris- ing young men of Ontario they could not have obtained a better man for the post than Mr. 'Alexender Smith. -Electric light in Wingharn's subnrb is something new. Mr. G. Green's hen -house is opposite the power house. It is said that after going to roost, on the first night' the lights were on, the egg producers thought it was morning, owing to the lights shining so brightly over the road, The hens came down off their perch, scratched around for a time, and as was their daily custom laid AD egg, while the gay (*anti - °leers crowed lustily -much to the wonder and annoyance of the residents of the neighborhood. The lights were turned off at 12 o'clock, and the fowl went back to roost, no doubt wondering at the strange- ness of the' shert day. If then hens con - thine to lay two eggs eaoh day Mr. Green would have good reason to feel proud of them. 111.111E=IIMMINIMMANII Huron Motes. -A lodge of the Sons of England, a benevolent "Gaiety, has been organized in Wingham.

Mr. Simpson, pass- ed from earth on the same day and within a few hours of each other.
