—The Ottawa Citizen remarks : "It
looks as if the temperance people will
get more real temperance legislation
from Premier Whitney, who promised
them nothing, than from Bier. Eoss,
of the Sons of Temperance, who pro-
mised everything and never did any-
thing."
*
—A large number of settlers are
moving into Northern Ontario, and
the Temiskaming railway% will aid in
the settlement of the section of coun-
try it traverses, , A company is being
formed to put up a telephone system
in the district connecting all the towns
and villages.

—We are apt to boast of our civili-
zation, and look down upon those who
hold. human life in light regard. d. Yet
what shall we say, when one man kills
another in hockey, and what a charge
does Dr. Osler make against our civi-
lization, when he states that in one
year the so-called "sports" cost the
lives of thirty-five young men, and
brutally maimed five hundred ! This
sounds more like a record of barbar-
ism than of civilization.
*
•
The Presbyterian says :--"Thou-
sands in all classes who regarded Sir
Wilfrid as a man entirely superior to
clerical influence, who idolised him as
the champion of provincial liberty,
and who rejoiced in the fact that the
spirit of religious tolerance in the
country was so great as to make it
possible for a member of the Roman
Catholic communion to hold the high
office of premier, are bitterly disap-
pointed at the unexpected turn of
events."
*
—The Presidentofthe `Saskatche-
wan Valley Land Co., says :—"This
will be the greatest year for immigra-
tion in the history of Canada. Thou-
sands of Americans have taken up
land this year, and at the present rate
there will soon be 75,000 new settlers
from the States arrived this year. It
is calculated that between 10,000 and
12,000 fanners from Ontario will take
up farms. Already there have been
4,000 settlers from Washington State
this year, who have sold • their farms
and bought Canadian land."

—The people of Kansas have become
so much displeased with the Standard
Oil Company that the State has decid-
ed itself to put up a refinery. After a
short experiment it will be likely to
fail, for the simple economic reason
that it cannot long compete with so
successful a manufacturer and seller
as the Standard Oil Company, and even
indignation at the grossest wrongs
yields at last 'to cheaper production
and better service. The Standard 011
Company by its elaborate organiza-
tion, by its profitable manufacture of
many by-products, and by its ability
to buy or to sell when it pleases, and
by its independence of the Kansas oil
fields, can make and sell oil more
cheaply than any competitor, espe-
cially a competitor that must learn
the business. At some turn of trade,
it will pay more for crude oil in Kan-
sas than the State can afford to pay,
and sell refined oil more cheaply; and
then the end of the experiment will
come.
—The material and construction of
the buildings for the St. Louis World's
Fair cost fourteen million dollars.
They have been sold to a Chicago Co.
for $450,000 and work of wrecking the
Exposition buildings bas begun. It
will take 1000 -nen twelve months to
complete the job. The Co. will have
for their money 100,000,000 square feet
of good building lumber; 200,000
square feet of sash lumber ; 10,000
doors ; 1,500,000 square feet of glass
skylights ; 3,000,000 square feet of iron
and felt roofing ; 4,000,000 square feet
of burlap for wall covering; 500,000
incandescent lights, and copper wire
which cost $650,000. Among its assets
are two hospitals complete in all mod-
ern equipments ; three greenhouses
ready for utilization anywhere, each
300 feet long, with many sorts of
plants and flowers ; a fire department
big enough for a city of 50,000 inhabi-
tants, comprising nine engines and
100,000 feet of rubber hose ; thousands
of chairs of all sorts ; miles of iron
picket and woven wire fences; hun-
dreds of desks ; wagons, dump cars,
and steam rollers enough to fit up a
dozen good roads societies, and many
other sorts of paraphernalia. Out of
the structures, equipments, and fur-
nishings of the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition a good-sized city could be
built. The debris would construct
half a dozen fairs like that at Buffalo
in 19.01, or that which is to open in
Portland, Ore., in June, 190..
WHITHER DO WE DRIFT ?
For the past two weeks a sharp dis-
cussion has been going on in the
House of Commons, commenced by -
the introduction �od r n of the Autonomy Bill
creating two new provinces in the
west, and especially by the eiluca- -
Honeclauses of the Bill, which, it is
the new 1province*, even though the
inhabitants :are opposed to tlwm.
The matter has been brought more
prominently before the Canadian pub -
by the statement of Hon. M►'.
Rogers, a member of the Manitoba
Government, who charges Mgr. Stitt-
retti, the Papal delegate in Canada,
with interference in the political af-
fairs of the province.
Quite reeently, a French newspaper
under the control of Sir Wilfrid ,Carla-
rier Made the statement that the rea-
son the Dominion Government would
not enlarge •the boundaries of Mani-
toba WAS' because of the stand that
province took against Separate
Schools,
Hon. Mr. Rogers states, that the
Papal delegatte said to the Manitoba
Government—
"If you will change your school
systein, we will see that the boun-
daries of Manitoba are extended
northwards."
On what authority did the delegate
thus speak? It is tolerably certain
that he would not have taken the
stand he did, had he not known that
he had the active co-operation of Sir
Wilfrid. Laurier, It will be interest-
ing to Canadians to know to what
extent the influence of the Papal dele-
gate prevails in a Canadian legisla-
tion. Lord Dundonald, a loyal British
subject, was dubbed "foreigner" by
Sit' Wilfrid and forced by the same
Government to retire from command
of our militia. It is almost inconceiv-
able that a real foreigner, who is not
and never was a British subject,
should be allowed to practically dic-
tate to Manitoba, the terms upon
which her boundaries might be en-
larged ; yet this appears to be the
fact.
Mgr. Sbaretti can scarcely be. blam-
ed ; he is no doubt doing faithfully
what appears to him to be his duty
towards adherents of the Church he
represents. But if he has interfered
with legislation, the blame must be
attached to the Government that al-
lowed such interference.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier positively denies
any complicity with the delegate's
action. At the salve time, it is scarce-
ly likely that Mgr. Sbaretti would
have taken the stand he did, had he
not been assured of the Government's
acquiescence. The Stratford Herald,
on this point. says
"The complicity of the Prime Minis-
ter of Canada is proved by his hang-
ing up the subject pending the result
of the Italian prelate's interference.
Liberal organs will try to shield Sir
Wilfrid Laurier against this charge,
but nobody with his eyes open and his
senses about him can believe that the
coincidence is other than a guilty one.
The direct evidence of churchly inter-
ference with Manitoba's aim of en-
larged territory makes conclusive the
charge that Mgr. Sbaretti has also
dictated the policy of the Laurier Gov-
ernment with regard to the school
clauses of the autonomy bills. The
issue raised by the audacious attempt
to reduce civil government in Canada
to a minor place is the most moment-
ous one with which Canadians have
had to deal."
The introduction of anything calcu-
lated to stir up strife in our Dominion,
whether of race or creed, is indeed re-
grettable. With a population of six
millions, we ought to be able to live
together in peace. It is the only way
to build up a prosperous contented
nation. At the same time, Canadians
are not likely to tolerate anything like
outside interference,•clerical or other-
wise.
We fear that Sir Wilfrid Laurier
has, by the educational clauses of the
Autonomy Bill, caused excitement
and distrust that it will take years to
allay. It would have been far better
to have left the new provinces to de-
termine these matters for themselves.
If, as alleged, there was dictation or
attempted interference with regard to
Manitoba's boundaries, it was unwar-
rantable and cannot be tolerated in
Canada. Let us be free.
A STRUGGLE FOR FREEDOM.
It was inevitable that internal trou-
bles should come in Russia. The sores
were there, and sooner or later they
must have broken out ; so the recent
revolution caused no wonder in the
rest of the world. The outbreak is
virtually a struggle for freedom,
though it began under the guise of a
labor strike. In a short time the arm
of the law bad succeeded in quelling
the disturbances, and the Czar pro-
mised attention to the demands of the
people. But such promises have been
made before and not a great deal of
dependence is co be placed in them.
So long as the Government, despotic
as it is, has the support of the army,
the people can, however, do little but
to demand and wait.
Yet the rights of liberty must event-
ually triumph in Russia. The start
has been made, and it is the more
likely to go on to final success because
it has been so long in beginning. The
demands of the revolutionists, or more
properly speaking, the reform leaders,
are summarized as follows :—
First.—The immediate cessation of
the war.
Second.—The summoning of a con-
stituent assembly of representatives
of the people, elected by universal and
equal franchise and direct secret bal-
lot.
Third.—The removal of class and
race privileges and restrictions.
Fourth.—The inviolability of the
person and domicile.
Fifth.—The freedom of conscience,
speech, the press, meetings, strikes,
political association.
With a platform of this kind, if up-
held in seasonableness and orderliness,
the Russian people must eventually
gain their emancipation. The iron
hand cannot always rule in place of
the hand of justice; but the Russian
autocracy stands to -day in the way of
any great or speedy reform.—[The
National,
In writing on this subject, in the
National, Neil Mack says ;—
Canada has never yet been fully
measured, and many remote portions
must be laid out more definitely 00
the map before its industrial greatness
can be wholly appreciated. Its total
area of 3,020,000 square miles—only a
fraction less than that of all Europe—
includes immense tracts of land that
are its yet unexplored. If Canada
were divided into three equal parts,
the provinces and the older territories
would be found to form but one of
those parts ; the other two-thirds
world be the territory north of the
present line of settlement, some of
which is as yet nnsurveycd, and but
very little of which has yet been per-
manently occupied. Geographically,
this is Greater Canada. It may be
s,ptmted up as all that country north
of the 55th parallel on the west of
Hudson's Bay, thus including the ter-
ritories of Keewatin, Athabasca, Mac-
kenzie, Yukon, and Franklin ; and,
east of Hudson's Bay, the territory of
Ungava. Travel through these re-
gions has been made possible in some
directions, by the great northern river
and lake systems, but an immense
area still awaits the first explorer. In
the Yukon district, in Athabasca, and
even in northern British Columbia,
but especially in the Mackenzie terri-
tory, are unknown tracts as large as
many of the states of Europe. These
unexplored tracts form in all perhaps
one-fifth of the whole. The general
character of the remaining larger part
is fairly well known, through the re-
ports of travellers, traders, and gov-
eminent agents. Wide stretches of
this northern territory must necessari-
ly always remain, as now, barren wil-
derness, but other portions are of un-
doubted value, with possibilities and
resources waiting only to be developed.
They are very similar to that country
in which settlement is now so rapidly
going on—the.Canaclian West. What
we more particularly know by that
name to -day comprises Manitoba and
the three territories of Assiniboia, Al-
berta, and Saskatchewan, soon to be
divided into two new provinces. This
block of land, lying wholly south of
the 55th parallel, has an area of 228,-
000,000 acres of which at least 50,000,-
000 acres are suitable for grain -grow-
ing. So far only 5,000,000 acres have
been put under cultivation, but at
the present hate of settlement the en-
tire 50,000,000 acres, capable of an an-
nual yield of 750,000,000 bushels of
grain, will be taken up in twelve
years' time. Out of this Canada could
supply Great Britain's demand of 200,-
000,000 bushels and still have a surplus
for the rest of the world.
The Canadian West, as thus defined,
has of late been much in the public
eye. Every year is seeing more and
more of its prairie lands changed into
farms and homesteads, and as the
country thus fills up, the' tide of settle-
ment moves steadily northward. In
less than twelve years it will quite
probably have reached into the new
areas of Athabasca. The secretary of
the Northwest Grain -dealers' Associa-
tion is authority for the statement
that the hard wheat belt is receding
northward at the rate of fifteen miles
every year.
Rheumatic Pains Quickly Relieved.
The excruciating pains characteris-
tic of rheumatism and sciatica are
quickly relieved by applying Cham-
berlain's Pain Balm. The great pain
relieving power of -the liniment has
been the surprise and delight of thou-
sands of sufferers. The quick relief
from pain which it affords is alone
worth many times its cost. For sale
