Alien Labor Laws.
In retaliation ...,for the eontemptible
alien laws placed, upon the 'United
States stattite books, and enforced
against Canadians, the Canadian Gov-
ernment placed'a similar law upon the
statute book, • and is enforcing the
;Arne against certain Americans who
are employed in Canada. The enforce-
ment in this particular instance is di-
rected against certain officers of the
Pere M rquette Railway,, and as they
happen to be men of some importance,
the attempt to send them out of the
eountry is likely tp lead to serious in-
ternational complications.
There 1,4 really no good excuse on
either side of the line for the existence
of the present laws and their enforce;
ment.The United States has always
i
acted mall and nasty .in this respect,
and it wea, possibly, human nature to
liate but no good can come out of
it to eit ier country.
The Americans liketo have Cana-
.
dians settle in that : •

ada Certainly needs all the naericans

“Should the 'United States author-
ities adhere to their desire for a re-
suMption of the Joint High Commie-
sion with Canada, and should the trir
bunal resume consideration of the un-
settled matters of dispute between. the
two countries, your correspondent has
goad ground for saying that the Can-
adian Ministers will do all in their
power to reach -an understanding
whereby the alien labor laws now en-
forced against one another will be
withdrawn. Sir Wilfrid Laurier has
never made any secret of his opinion
^(hat these restrictions Ottmutual inter-
ceurse are vexatious and unstatesman-
like... The Canadian law was only
passed because Uncle Sam shut, the
door against Canadian labor, If our.
neighbors Were prepared to exenaPt
Canadians from this obnoxious

tiun, the Dominion 'Would no •doubt
gladly respond." •
• it is tobe honed that two nations
like Canada and t,he States, eachsPeak-
ing the same la,ngua.ge, and each with
interests alike, should dwell on terms
of mutual friendship, and that the ab -

To the Editor of the New Era : •

DEAR Mn. EDITOM -Will you allow
Me space in your valuable paper for
these -few .lines._Are_there any
men 1» Clintcn P If there are, there
a number of farmers west of Londes-,
bore,hetween the base line and Londes-
boro, who are overstocked with ashes,
and me anxiously waiting for the ash -
man to call mound. Yours truly,
HIILLETT VARMIOR.
'Warmers to whom we have spoken
concerning the a,boVe, say that any
man who hafr:vood ashes--is-un-
wise to let them go off his farm. They
are an excellent fertilizer for orchards,
grass, or almost any crop, and their
value may be judged by the fact that
one man of experience says a bushel of
ashes is equal to a load of manure. As
the price of ashes is only about six
cents it bushel, the revenue from their
sale is 'so trifling as not to be worth
bothering abont. There is an a.shinan
in Clinton,' but the farmer who is wise
will utilize all the Wood ashes he clan
get, on his own fartn.-Eu, NEW Band

The Czar evidently' does not know
when he has had enough, and the Only
thing for Japan to do is to thrash him
into the Meekest submission possible.
Conferences to talk peace are report-
ed from Washington, but we do not
hear of Russia being a party to them,
and the Japanese Minister's words . do
not indieate that there is any change
in Japanese sentiment or demands. It
has been suggested that Kaiser
Wil-
helni approach the Czar, it being sup-
posed that he, might exercise some in-
fluence, but as yet there is no substan-
tial basis for expectations of immediate
cessation of hostilities.

Manchuria there has been some fight-
