All of this growth applied only to the United Stated coat -line of 31000 mike. There bas been no growth at all on the equally extended Canadian coast line owing chiefly w the policy of the Uniteoi States government, which requite. American vessels to be built in Ameri- can ports and does not permit Canadian vessels to traffic between American ports. But the possibilities of development on that other coast -hue when "manifest destiny" shall have been realized are of striking importance.

Already 400,000 tons of coal Mesa been contracted for, to be deliver- ed in Canada the coming season.

Weer faatas•. The ezer:.i.e of suffrage by the women in Wyoming for the past 95 years wens to have borne good fruit, mays the New York Independent. and an occasion of no little exultation to all advocates of woman's advancement is the adoption by the Wyoming Legislature of a resolu- tion reciting that the extension of the franchise W women has done great good in dives direction This unanimous adoption by a body of men of the un- qualified success of woman suffrage for the past quarter of a century is the strong- est endorsement possible. And ewming at this time. when the enemies of the franchise have been demanding a re- traction of the privilege, it is an event of more than ordinary significance. If, as coutected, the enfranchisement of its women have depopulated the jails of Wyoming, rid the state of poor -houses and largely aided in banishing crime. pauperism and vice, the logical deduc- tion follows that woman suffrage would be a good thing for every state in the Union to adopt. The resolution referred to is as follows: "Be it resolved by the Legislature of Wyoming. That the possession and exercise of suffrage by the women in Wyoming for the past quarter d a century has wrought no harm, and has deme great gond in many wave; that it has largely aided in ben- ehing crime. pauperism and vice from this state, and that without any violent or opprssive kgialatios; that it has se- en red peaceful and orderly elections, geed government and a remarkable de - gem of civilization and public oreler,•nd we point with pride to the fact that after nearly 25 years of a woman suffrage not ons county in Wyoming has a poor- house, that our jails are almost empty and crime. except that by strangers in the state, almost unknown. and as the result of experieuoe we urge every civi- lised community on the earth to enfran- chise its women without delay. Rerhly- erl, that an authenticated copy of these nee:dation, be forwarded by alae governor of this state to the Leg- islature of every state and ter- ritory in the country and to every legis- lative body in test world, and that we re- quest the press throughout the civilised world to call the attention of their read- ers to these reenlutioes awe Shama*.
