I3LICIGR4.TION PROSP ,G7 9.
The present indications are that neet.
sprfng will see the ineugl,lration of a
movement of population front the
American to the Canadian North-West
which may, possibly, grow to enormous
proportions. The settlers • in Dakota,
Kansas, Newbraska,ancl others portions
of the Western States which, twenty-
five or thirty years ago, used to be
marked ou the maps as "The Great
.American Deserts," but is now more
euphoniously ieferr,'tl to as "The Arid
Region," have ulnae IO good fight
against adverse circumstances, hut
are becoming convinced that they can
not rely upon the climate to allow them
to make g living, and they are being
reluctantly forced to seek homes else-
where. A very large section of country
in that region has been fairly well set-
tled. and in some places the settlers
have done well, especially where irrig-
ation works have been extensivelycar-
ried on; but the long summer droughts
have caused such successive losses of
crops that, in many eases, it has be-
come a question of getting away or
starving. In Dakota the misery caused
by the loss of crops has been accentuat-
ed' by fears of Indian outbreaks, added
to a railway monopoly and a system of
grinding usury which has absorbed
every penny the farmer could earn.
It i, no wonder, therefore,that numbers
of the people, many of whom are Ca-
nadians, have been casting longing
eyes to the north. where a fair measure
of prosperity has rewarded the industr-
ious settler. and where he can count
with reasonable accuracy on receiving
an ample return for his labor:._ The
farmers of the Canadian North-West,
while not, perhaps -"rolling in riches,"
have yet been eticcessful, and their
neighbors to the South, quite reason-
ably, desire to share in their success.
That is all right; there is plenty of
room, and the more who move from the
sontIh of the boundary line to the north
of it, the better. Quito a considerable
number emigrated northwest last fall
and took up homesteads; but this num•
her will probably prove insignificant
in comparison with the number who
will leave Ilakotat and other States fot
the Canadian North-West next. year,
and succeeding years. The delegates
who went in response to the invitation
of the Dominion Government last aut-
um "to spy out the land," have report-
ed so favorably that very extensive
preparations are going on in various
sections through the winter, for a gen-
eral move next spring. In three count-
ies of Dakota alone there are nearly
five hundred families ready to move as
soon as the snow goes away, and they
will, most likely, be followed by hued -
reds, perhaps thousands of others. The
pioneers ill this movement are mostly
Canadians returning to -their native
sated but there are, also, a good num-
ber of Americans, and should this ad-
vance guard prove successful in their
first attempts, their example will no
doubt be followed by large numbers,
and we may con idently expect a very
large influx of American settlers into
she North West. This is the kind of
annc_ration of which we can stand a
good deal, and which is worthy of all
,neouragement. The great want of
the CanadianNorth-West its population
and it is most satisfactory to think that
the present prospects point to a very
material increase of that next year.
The tido; of emigration to the Ameri=
can North•West has more than reach-
ed its flood, and is commencing to re•
eele. There is no unoccupied agricult-
ural land in the United States so suit-
able for settlement as that of the Ca-
nadian North West,and once the Amer -
%can farmers feels sure of that to •the
Canadian North West he will go.
Sir Richard Cartwright spoke in
Chatham the other day and according
to the Globe a large audience heard the
speech, (which story could be qualified,)
and also they cheered Sir Richard, an -
ether statement due no doubt to •the
.fine imagination of the Globe reporter.
'We were not there but we know a little
of human nature, and we know that
:hien seldom crowd halls to hear their
own country derided, and they seldom
cheer the;groundless wailings of a hill-
ous creek. The show in which Sir
Riehard was bi„ elephant was free, and
we presume there are idle men enouu h
5n Chatham to risk an everriegs fan at
•tbtprice, and thCr, /lin also CnOdgll
1airf 11ce100 inspectorsi rintlri"te.'
ieenoe i8sttdr•S, (te , t0 raisO a ch. ':
a
w11e14 0110 of the patrons of the erib
when they feed, gives the proper signal-
If the meetia:g was more or Iese then
this, we call ollly stay that Chathalu
people differ very inuch from the rest
of Cenedians. There is no use in the
Globe telling us stories, ablpt Sir Rich-
ard
ichand Cartwright and his ability, or the
oheering multitudes that crowd hells
to hear him wail. He sat in Perna -
meet for a tern as member for one
Riding of Huron. Re has ground his
teeth, and stamped his feet, and hissed
leis hatred all around us, but we never
saw a man that grewentlutsiasttc about
it or felt the erush of a crowded hall
or experienced the vocal strain of a
hearty cheer. Sir Richard stumped, and
canvassed, and begged a neighboring.
.Riding to give him a seat at Ottawa,.
fwd he failed to snake an impression
as to his value on the Most hardened
Grits. After a seasons pitiful begging
he could not get a Grit nomination,
and poor burdened Oxford had to take
hien in, but we strongly suspect, the
price was, that the financial failure
must never trail in their midst. We
have every confidence in Sir John
Macdonald or we should be inclined to
think that he had hired Sir Richard to
talk the consumptive. Grit party into
its waiting grave.
We are told by the same organ that l
booms Sir Richard, that the Hon. Mr,
Laurier is one of a great array of lea-'
dere, Brown, Mackenzie, Blake and
Laurier. "Can the leopard change his
spots?" is a question asked in the Holy
Book. The Grit leopard can. It can
change religiously. Brown was a Pres-
byterian, Mackenzie a Baptist, Blake
an Anglican, and Laurier a Roman
Catholic. It can change nationally.
The two first leaders were Scotchman,
Blake, Irish, and Laurier:, French, and
him we believe they would gladly
c hange for a successful Etheopian
Great leaders forsooth! How does their
party value theme Brown had no seat
in the Commons since Confodration•
He died a political cipher, a coldly ne-
glected man, murdered by an employe
of the Globe, and the highest honors
were paid slim hi death by those who
had beenhisopponens in life, Mac-
kenzie was no worker of miracles and
because he could not galvanize the Grit
corpse after the Waterloo of 1878, they.
cut off his head and left him to sit in
Parliament by the grace of Conserva-
tive charity, a political curiousity the
mummy of all honest Grit. Blake took
the dry rot about the time the Globe
canonized the murderer Reil, and now
presents the anomaly of being leader
of nothing and follower of nobody a
disappointed Radical with the worst
points of. an Aristocratic striking
`through every part of his ill made
political clothes. Laurier, as we go to
press, for anything that we have heard
to the contrary is leader still. But
plainly he ia not the trusted chief of a
trusting party and would go the way
of the rest of the quartette if thedeath
bed were as well prepared, as is Sir
Richard's wailing dirge. Great leaders
the Globe tells us. Perhaps so, but the
Grit party has a strange way of using
great leaders. Meantime, Sir John Mac-
donald is first Minister of Canada. At
the age of 76 the whole Dominion con-
gratulates him and looks. up to him.
He was leader of the Government when
the proprietors of this paper were born,
and his seat is firmer to -day. ' The
Globe can roil up its quartette of Grit
leaders to make a cigarette for the one
Treat Canadian leader to test the fla-
vour of, "9'
The difference between the adminis-
tration of justice in Canada and the
United States is very sharply 'marked.
in -the matter of carrying out sentences
of death. In Canada if a man is to be
hung, it is done in a very few weeks
after his sentence; but in the United
States it is the fashion to place the date
of execution a long way ahead, which
very frequently results in the murder•
er getting off altogether. Take the
case of the man Sawtelierecently found
guilty of murdering Ms brother, in the.
most cold-blooded and deliberate man-
ner, in order Oaths May get all their
mother's property. 'Instead of being
sentenced to be hanged at once, the
Judge fixed the date of execution for
the first Tuesday in January, 1802,
more than a year after the sentence.
Part of this year will, no doubt, be
used up in attcrnpts to get a new trial,
and the chances are that in the end the
murderer will escape justice. It
would be a good idea for 'the United
States to annex bur system of adrninis•
tering justice, and practice it.
