Let us hope that be- fore long the doors of the temple of peace may wing wide again "on golden hinges turning." •1•• --The Russians are not winning much glory by their naval exploits. These have chiefly consisted in sinking small, unarmed seliooners and a defenceless transport, send- ing a hundred Japanese to the bot- I tom of the sea, when they might have saved their livers and the ship by putting a Russian crew on board. They then skulk back to the protection of their forts and carefully avoid armed vc ls. The Jape, on the contrary, attack the biggest and best of the enemy's whips whose fighting forees take all the chances of war. -The Montreal Herald publish- es a statement from cflieial sources of the immigration into Canada by nationaltiea 51140 January 1st. The figures are startling. They show that no less than 60 per cent. of the immigration this year is Eng- lish. In that figure ie included the Scotch and Irish element, but both are stated to be so small this year as to be almost negligible. A con- siderable portion of this English immigration consists of prosperous farmers, who bring not only a knowledge of business, but money and appliances. There is, how- ever, a large proportion of Cock- neys, who will have much to go through before they become of great value to the country. The figures as secured from Halifax and Quebec are as follows :-English, 24,000 ; Galicians, 8000 ; Scandi- navians, 3,200; Italiaus, 1,X00; Russians, Germans, Jews, etc., 3,500 ; total, 39,800. FOR GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP In the course of an effective speech in the Dominion house last Thursday afternoon, Hon. R. L. Borden said :-"If it is the will of the people of Canada, as declared by their voice at the next election, that another railway from ocean to ocean shall be built, owned and controlled by the people of Canada and not by the Grand Trunk Rail- way Company ; if it is the will of the people that we shall assume not only nine -tenths, but ten -tenths of the obligations necessary to con- struct another transcontinental road, and by that means to own and control a national railway highway from the Atlantic to the Pacific, the Conservative party, if returned to power, is prepared in accordance with the will of the people so expressed to place upon the statute book of Canada such legislation as will enable that re- sult to be accomplished with the least possible delay. It is for the people to decide. We shall abide -indeed, we must abide -by their verdict, but let them understand that they have a choice, that the door is not yet closed. By expro- priation or by any other fair and just policy we shall carry out the will of the people. Let them de- termine whether Canada shall have a government-owned railway or a railway -owned government." tern Canada. It is pointed out that they do not seem to realize how much out of touch they are with the West. To the average b • of Manitoba th usiness man eir methods savor too much of red tape, and their failure to adapt themselves to circumstances is gradually opening the way to the United States manufacturer, who is keenly alive to the requirements of the country. This being the case, the business men of Eastern Cana- da should not be content with merely sending displays of goods to the Dominion Exhibition, but should arrange to go to Winnipeg themselves and meet the people with whom they expect to do busi- ness. :I'.. -The report of the Royal Com- mission on the volunteer and mili- tia forces of England practically recommends conscription as the only means of providing a home defence army adequate for the pro- tection of the country in the ab- senee or partial absence of the regularpa troops. The commissioners are of the opinion that the princi- ples adopted by all the other great European States must be largely adopted by Great Britain and that it is the duty of every able-bodied. citizen to be trained kr national defence. 'They point out that na- tional training would involve a period of continuous stride° with the colours under an instruction body of specially educated and `highly trained officers. And they consider that one year of such con - THE LATE SIR H. M. STANLEY Thursday,` June 2, 1904 The death of the late Sir Henry M. Stanley removes the last of the great African explorers. Indeed, there is very little left in the Dark Continent to explore. His career was one of romantic interest, and shows how indomitable energy will overcome the greatest difficulties. The little workhouse lad won his way into the favor and affection of his employer, and later his skill and daring as a soldier and news- paper correspondent led to his se- lection to go on the romantic quest for the lost Livingstone. His sub- sequent adventures in the Congo country are a twice-told tale. Stan- ley was always the friend of the missionary. It was largely through his influence that the Universities Mission was established in Uganda. Nevertheless, his military training and instincts led to needless loss of life in his African exploration. Dr. Livingstone wandered for years throughout Darkest Africa and was guiltless of the blood of a single black man. Dr. Johnston, with his little band of Jamaicans, cross- ed from sea to sea without firing a hostile shot. Stanley forced his way across the continent by means of elephant guns and ruthless slaughter of the natives. It was possibly a case of kill or be killed, but the tact of the successful ex- plorer is shown in averting such stern alternatives. The Congo Free State, better named the Congo Slave State, thus founded in blood, has bad a history of unparalleled oppression and cru- elty. For this Stanley was not to blame, but the greed of the Belgian exploiters of West African trade, who won their tale of ivory and rubber by barbarities not to be sur- passed by those of the savages of Darkest Africa. Stanley's later years were crowned with honors and renown, and it shows the de- mocratic character of British insti- tutions that the little Welsh work- house lad should win the high favor of royalty and become a member of the Great Council of the nation. u training won den suffice with „w1„ tinuo b t g w T.
