WHY SUCH A HUBBUB ? The Toronto Emptre o Wednes. day last piebliehed a, leegthy article the resultsef investigation otrepoete exposieg what was said to be a pl'en on the part of the Maill ews- hand Canada bola, over to latst United States. • 'lite editer has been at Washrrise ton on- several oceasiona slid hes privately Qivell the Senators to nrelerstatid that the people ,sf Ceuada are anxious to join the Union ; and that it cernmerciai uni-n wets retused Cenadtans, they woald thee seek aneexatioe. The mpire in the several art;cles styled the Matl in classical terms, and now et the teeteeee of its manager, Mr. Buittinos, the Erapire is Leung Feted osi the &weeds of libeL the chive fere deraages being large. The aseiies. ie short, that its atter was in Waehington for las henith. lett that nes advised the Seinate Committee cue wny or the other is vainntigeted lie. The Empire e(litices heterviews to prove that its charges ese correct. The Mail. loss retoM,er that these inter- views are gariged and misleinling. Tice Mail has: some mean purpose in view, no doubt ; but taken for granted that its editor did advise the Iepublican senators that thsannex atter; movement in Canada is strong what de s a eignity ? Nothing. Supposing the Mail did possess a sparkle itifluence and respect -- Windt it th,tes nat—it is well known that such a statement would be a glaring untruth which the briefest investigation would disclose. Nei- ther tne Mail, nor its editor,or any party could deliver Canada into the hands of the Republic. There is no cause for alarm Canada is still here, and will be here, the freest country under heaven, when the Republican Senators and the Republic itself have passed away. One of the peculiarities of la grippe is that the afflicted don't care to eat. There's where the av- erage country editor gets ahead of it, they so seldom get anything to eat they get out of the habit. A peat portion of the people of Dakota are famine sticken. The failure of the harvest impoverished them, and although they tried to weather the calamity, yet they are in dire distress. The reports from the State elsewhere show the peg ple to be in a deplorable condition. Their supplies are all gone, their stock has been seized by the sheriff, all the farms are heavily inortgaged and the interest unpaid, and there is a scarcity of food and fuel. What conditions could be worse than these ? The land boomers out there will doubtless deny the stories as they did last year when famine was predicted as the result of the failure of the harvest, but intending emi- grants will give ti. state a wide berth until its soil ecomes more productive and its ci mate modified. 'Manitoba is a paradise compared with Dakota. On the Canadian side of the line they get crops and live in houses, On the American side they get drouths which blight their crops, cyclones that blow the townships all together, and bliz- zards compared to which the ice age was tropical. When the cy- clone comes or., the inhabitants dive into their holes in the ground like gophers, and are comparatively safe, but the blizzards follow them in there, and they can find no pro- tection from them. There will doubtless be an appeal for aid for these poor unfortunates, but the occasion is one which would justify the .Federal Govern. ment in Utilizing- some of the sur- plus which it doesn't know what to J o with.

A MORE PREFERABLE COUNTRY. 1...r.1.• An American Exchange, in dis- cussing the reasons why British emigrasts prefer the United States to Canada, intimates that the erni- grants have been told that in the States there is larger political freedom, a less rigorous cliniate, a greater demand and better wages for labor and snore profitable Markets for the farmer ; that the taxes ol the coun'ry are light; the national debt being rapidy extin- gnished ; and on the other shie taxation high and the Dominion debt rapidly increasing. .Eari.rants have doubtless been told these things as w 11 as others egealSe unttue. Whoever told them that there is larger political freedom iu the United States than in Canada the truth is not In him, The thiel executive power in the Is eited 1 States is vested in an officer elected by a mitterity of the popular 'vote and elected ureter a system which renders conspicuous ability and fit ness an almost insuperable barrier to suceess at the ;nills. This officer exercises desegrie and practically irresponsible powers over the public service and legislative for four years. He may till all the most zmportant official p isitions with his own and his wiles relatives. He can dismiss, and generally does so, ariy petblic servant who voted ; against him. He is expected to uses the vast paironage he enjoys in the interests ot his party rather than et site country. In Canada the Queen reigns, but the people ride. Iter Majestfs viceroy, lmth above all party influences, remain ing through all party changes ad commanding the loyal respect of men of all parties, administers the government up .n the advice at ministers immediately and directly rt sponsible at all times to Parlia- meet ministers who owe their office to the popular will and who may he' called upon at any tune to surreuder their offices to men who enjoy a higher degree ot public confidence Our civil servants may vote for whore they please and their tenure of office is not conthe gent upon the raise and fall ot political parties. The British emo grants ought to have been told that there vas indeed a very big shaduw of pelitical freedom in the United States, but that the substance was to be found in the Dominion. Then as to the respective 'climates and farming conditions of the two countries more lies have been told to emigrants and snore essential truths suppressed, on this subject than any other. In general term's, the emigrants have been told that Canada was a land of snow and ice, a country of eternal winter. They were not told about the deadly blizzards and cyclones, about the great snow blockades. about the droughts, the floods and the famines which characterize certain parts of this continent. Why ? Because these belong to the country south of the frontier. Nor were they told of the greatest wheat country in the world ; of the richest farming lands ready for the plow to be had for the asking ; of real summers and frosty but kindly winters favorable to longevity and of climatic conditions most favorable to the wheat growers. Why ? Because these belong to the country north of the frontier. No doubt the emigrants were told all about the higher wages and the more profitable markets for the farmers ; but very little, if anything, was said about the deserted farms of the New England States or about the Dakota farms, that the starv- ing farmers would like to desert if they could only get away. As tothe national debt and taxation of .the two countries the Americans cannot be blamed for drawing misleading comparisons. So many Canadian critics have out of hostility to the Government of the day, thoughti it worth while to make similar comparisons to the detri- ment of the Dominion, it is rot surpris- ing that American critios should feel justified in taking for granted that while the United States is on the road to wealth Canada is on the verge of bank- ruptcy. It is nothing new for compari- sons to be instituted between the national debt per capita of the United States and the national debt per capita of ' Camcla ; and the compariSon is instructive. No allowance is made for the fact.that Canada's,debt includes the Provincial debts assumed by the Domin- ion and that the Dominion has paid _es large amounts in provincial subsidies and in public serviees, the cost of which in the United States is not borne by the Federal Government, The Dominion has as 'valuable assets to show for its debt as any country in the world, The fact that by means of a tariff much higher than that of Canada the United. States is pulling down its debt is not necessarily an indication of greater national prosperity. Taxation is taxa- tion let it be direct or indirect and whether the people of the United States realize it or not they are taxed much higher than their Canadian neighbors. The fait that a large share of our revenue is expended in remunerative public works is worth considering and so also is the fact that our neighbors manage to get rid of eighty million dollars a year in pensions, a small pro, portion of which amount goes to honest pensioners, but snore to pension thieves. Mr. Colter, ALP. for Haidimand, has been unseated, and will have another chance of testing his popu- lardy in that constiuency It is Dr. Moutague's turn to win now, and if the latter can make the win- ning decisive. he will have the po. sition and Mr. Colter the experi- ence. Pew,* wr.e• IT is said that cattlemeu in the United States are making prepas a • tions to ship their cattle to Eng- land by way of Montreal. This might be profitable to the railway companies and convenient for the shippers, but how would i affect Canadian cattle ? Will the cattle from the States be shipped as American cattle, under the restric- tions applying to such, and so rated when they reach England, OA will they, being shippe I tram a Cana - (lieu port, he classed as Canadian cattle ? Isn't there a regulation prohibiting the importation of American cattle into Can Ida, be rause of the presence of pleuro- pneumonia in the herds an the American venues ? If so, how will the American cattlemen get their cattle to Montreal for shipment? If Canadian cattle rank higher in the English markets than American cattle, the Indiscriminate shipping of stock from Montreal would de- prive Canadian cattle of that ad - vat tage, as the distinction between the two would be lost. Canadian cattlemen, if they have not already done so, should look into this mat- ter, that they may be in a position to appose it should it be shown to be contrary to their interests. Mr. Dalton McCarty's proposed amendment to the North west Ter ritories Act as to the dual language question, is creating an excitement in Parliament. Mr. Laurier of Quebec, the Leader of the Liberal darty, opposes the measure, but does not state on what grounds. He thinks it opportune and unfair to his language, the French. Such an objection is to be expected of Mr. Laurier. A man who would shoot down Canadian volunteers when doing their duty to the coun- try, could not be expected to ex- press himself otherwise than hostile to any purely Canadian measure. The proposal to abolish the French language as an official language in Manitoba and the North-west should not meet with opposition, if view of the fact that it is in accord- ance with the wish of the majority of the residents of that part of Can- ada. It is true that in years past, when the sparse population was made up of French, the language was French. But within the past decade a great change has been wrought in the North west, andthe English-speaking people are largely in the majority, with every promise of it becoming a thoroughly British province. Under 'these circum- stances it would be foolish to argue that the dual language system, which was once necessary, should now he retained when it is not needed. In portions of Quebec where no other lahguage but French is spoken, the same objection might not apply, but even in these places English should be the official tongue. A couple of sharpers swindled the Presi- dential Life Insilance Co. of Now York, out of $10,000 very nicely. They went to 'Utica and were employed as agents by the branch office there. They wrote bogus policies, and also sent in bogus death claims for which the naoney was promptly paid, The game did not last long, as ere therhad drawn $10,000 the company detected the fraud. The doctor who subscribed to tbe bogus death papers was arrested but the agents fled. r.A.R.111(ER 1311,0S.' saran GROCERY Just Received a di..

They work harder than any other class; but circumstances are often against them. In many districts the holdings aro too small to support a family; year by year the fertility of t•.e soil decreases. and at last tern necessity breaks up the home driving the younger members from the pater- nal roof to seek in other lands the ii-vinde- nied by the sterility of the old boniest. ad, A little reflection before s tarting in search of anew ome would prevent many a heart ache, of en years of sorrow.
