Canada's great show, better known as t Toronto Industrial, closes up this we after having been in fall awing for nea he k, ly two weeks. The exhibition this year 1. as been fully up to its metal high standa 4. The attendance of visitors and merely sig t• seem was not, probably, so large as in some former years, and the "attractions" weee, perhaps, not quite 80 attractive. But in lall that goes to make ap a„ useful and profit& le exhibit, and one which indicates the co n - try's progress, the show was fully more sac- ceseful than in any former year. In tie arts and manufactories the display was fu ly up to the high standard attained by the show in former years, while the exhibits of stock of various kinds were at least eq al in quality and more numerous and varied 1 than in any former year. So much was this the case that for many departments t e space allotted had to be considerably en- larged salter the show opened. This iln- crease was particularly noticeable ia cet le and swine. Onthe whole, the show was a gratifying success, and its advance along all important lines may very fairly be taken as indicative of the increasing wealth and prosperity of the province. The eecond most importiant show in the province, the Western, opens at Lendop on Monday. The Situation in the Philippine. As straws show how the wind blows, so o the stray items of information from the Philippines which escape the strict press ce aorship there, indicate the true situation f the American 'forces in that country. It is be- coming more evident every day thist the situation is anything but satisfactory to the American people. Indeed, it would seem 11.9 if the same bunglisag and mismanagement which resulted so disastrously in Cuba, hes been responsible for the death of thousands of the American soldiers in' the Philippine . The truth is, that the army, like everything else in the United States, is managed with an eye to the political advancement of t e fi dominating power, and the inevitable resu t is disaster and confusion. Everything s election. The result of this perniciou , i engineered with a view to the next gener 1 petifogging policy was felt in Cuba and Por o Rico and is now doing its disastrous work i the Philippines. As to the present position of the Unite States forces in the Philippines, a very ele r and forcible statement is made by the special correapondent of "Harper's Weekly, Mr. John F. Bass. Mr. Bass has minter as well as newspaper experience, and favor the energetic pushing of the military cam- paign to an end. Of General Otis, Mr. Bass writes that he is " the impersonation of in duetry," that he direct"; the minutest detaila approves the smallest bills, forms personallY the plans for everything done, This inde fatigable industry, however, the correspond ent implies, is a source of weakness, fo General Otis works iu an offices has neve been out on the lines, has never seen a figh or a skirmish, and other officers assert that it is impossible for the general -in -chief under these conditions to make intelligent plans. Mr. Bass then states the limits of the mili- tary -lines. Although he writes in June, and the subseqixent advances to Angeles on the north and to Imus on the south have in- creased the extent of the United States lines' the difference is not a very material one. He points out that on last Decoration Day ther insurgents were still within three' miles of the city on the south, and that the graves of American soldiers buried near Camp Dewey, 0 )uld not be decorated because the ground was held by the insurgents ; that the Ameri- cans control only a small part of Laguna de Bay, and that " out of one hundred and twenty-three miles of railrOad from Manila to Dagupan, we hold only thirty-nine miles or less than one-third" (to this must now be added a few miles reaching to Angeles) ; that the land along tlae railroad and at its east.held by the insurgents is very fertile, and furnishes suppliee to their army in abundance; that no effort has been made to land troops at Dagupan to attack the ineur- gents along the railroad upon tvvo sides, as Mr. Bass thinka could be done. He statee positively and without quelification that the whole population of the island sympathizea with the insurgents ; only those natives whose immediate self-interest requires it are friendly to the Americans. The insureent army is in no way ready to give in, and its policy of retreating is the ,'one best adapted to the accomplishment of its ends. Mr. Bass makes many criticisms on the equip- ment of the army, and states that there were five thousand men in the general hos- pital when he wrote -sixteen per cent of the whole army -a large part of wkom are broken down by over-exertion made neces- sary by bad planning. He asserts that the real figures as to the numbers of men in hos- pital have been suppresed. He holds, in common with the opinions expressed by General King and other experienced officers, that one hundred thousand men are needed to carry out a systematic plan for occupying the territory. This correspondent is most strongly impressed with the belief that the plans and methods' adapted for crushing the e enemy have varied frequently, and Urges the adoption of a definite and continuoui plan. He says unreservedly that " the Ainerican outlook is blacker now (June 12) than it has been since the beginning of the war." These; statements of Mr. Bass are streingly corroborated by other reliable correspond- ents who are on the spot, and who seem to have an, accurate knowledge of • the whole situation. But; it is only by chance that these correspondents are able to make heir views known to the outside world. The press censorship at Manilla is ench th t no informetion can reach the outside orld except ouch as suits the. officiaV elites a to impart, and the American people are thus kept ;lithe dark as to the real situation in the Philippineai, and are only enabled to get glimpee here and there from an occasional letter of a correspondent who can elude the official censorship, and from a few retnrned soldiers who are the courage to speak out. Moreover, the fact is now becoming pretty well understood, that the Filipinos. as a class, are not the degraded savages they - were supposed to be. But, on the contrary, Many of them are highly cultured, and the majority are shrewd and intelligent, and are quite capable of governing them- selves, and consequently, they look upon the Americans as interlopers and in- truders, as they no doubt are, in a certain sense, and they much prefer to trust their future to the care of their own:people than tothe emissaries of a foreign and prima tically anktiown people. Besides" tht's, dur- ing the interregnum between the time when the Spaniards lost control and the Ameri- cans came on, the scene, the Provisional Government, headed by Aguinaldo, kept the whole popnlace in perfect control, and laid the basis for good and . useful laws in the country. In fact even now this same Government holds control of the greater part of the country, as, except in Manila, and a few milea surrounding that place, the Americens have not yet gained .authority. Under these circumstances it will be -readily seen that the United States have still a big job before theni in the Philippines. That they will ultimately fail in their purpose, no person suPposes. But it is painfully evident that, to accomplish the object they have in view, Will require the expenditure still of much bleed and treasure, and, be- sides, they will have to adopt different methods from those they have pursued in the past. That they have made a mistake in interfering with the Philippines, is now very generally admitted, but', mistake or no mistake, having gone as far as they have, they dare not turn back, as, if they were to de so, they would. become the laughing stock of the world. Undue Haste to Get Rich. The following, which we take from the court reports of a Toronto, paper 6f a few days ago, discloses a most melancholy inci- dent in human life : 'Frank Tossell, late cashier for the Free- hold Loan & Saving,s Company, who, on his first appearance in the Police Court, pleaded guilty to a charge of having misappropriated $180 of funds entrusted to him by his late e ployers, was by Magistrate Denison the other morning sentenced to three years in the penitentiary at hard labor. Crown At- torney Curry appealed for a lenient sentenee oa the prisoner, speaking of his past good cdnduct and trustworthinees. He explained that of the $4,000, the total amount em- bezzled by Tossell, over $2,000 had been returned -$400 from a " bookie" at the Woodbine races, and the balance from el - le ed bucket -shop brokers. Mr. 'Thomas Reid, Belichter for the Free- hrld Loan Company subStantiated what Mr. Curry said, and spoke of Tossell's ex- einplarv behavfor before he 'succumbed to ten' ptation. The Magistrate, howeveie contended that the confidence represed in Tossell only made the case the more serious, end the accused therefore deserved severe pnnishment. Teasel' received his sentence without a word, but it was evident, as he walked slowly down to the cells, he did not expect to pay such a heavy penalty for his crime. When he reached the cells he became very despondent, and almost broke down. Several friends called to see him, and one undertook to collect from a number of the prisoner's debtors money for the support of his wife and two menths'Old baby. This unfortunate young man, Frank Tos• sell, is only about twenty 'Our years of age, He had been in the empley of the Loan company for eeveral years and by his indus- try and exemplary conduct secured the en- tire confidence of his employers. He had worked his way up from the lowest position inthe institution to the important and re- sponsible one of cashier of one of the leading financial concerns in the city. His habits had always been considered unexceptional in every respect, while his_business ability com- bined with his other good qualitiee, bid fair to ensure for him• a useful and prosperous career. He was not in any senee of the term what is familiarly known as a " fast man," but was supposed to be the very re- verse. In an evil moment, however, he seema to have given way to the temptation to try to make money faster than by the ordinary and honorable methods which he had forrn- erly been pursuing so successfully,. With this object in view, he commenced taking risks in stocks and other gambling schemes. He had not money enough Of his own to cover his losses, and hoping would favor him, he drew on his lemployers, no doubt with and expectation that he would bat fortune the funds of he full hope enabled to make the amount good before any person other than himself would be tie wiser. But, unfortunately for him, the fart er he went the worse be got. He was nev r able to re- turn the money he took from hi employers, and the inevitable result nsued, ex- posure, paniehment and ruin. No person supposes i for a moment that this young man intended to rob his employ- ers when he first transgressed His only intention, , no doubt, was to tide over a present difficulty, with the hopethat fortune' would favor him in his next ven ure, and he would be able to make all right, and so on. Hacthe not been tempted by th insane de- ' sire which ,overtake so many me , to become rich speedily and without earnin the money, he would n,ot have transgressed, and would, unquestionably, have attained his object in the end by honest Means had h been con- tent to wade and work. Am it is a promising hie has been blasted and untold misery and uffering has been brought upon a 1 connected with him, and especially on his young wife. Toseell's case is typical of hundreds of others and should be a terrible warning to young men in positions of trust to refrain from illegitimatespeoulatione and from everY spe- cies of betting and gambling, with the view of making money faster than they oan do in. a legitimate way. Even betting and gamb- ling on a finial scale and for fun, which iseo common among young men of the present day, is a moat dangerous practise and Should be avoided as such. The gambling habit is often formed in this way, which ultimately leads to larger ventures and not infrequently, as in the case cited above, to diegraceI and ruin.- The only safe and wise way in this matter, is to abstain from the very appear- ance of evil. Editorial Notes and Comments. Last year the Canadian Pacific Railway had 4,500 boa oars employed in Their west- ern freight business. This year that. num- ber has been increased by two thousaird, and still they are crowded. This may be taken as an index of the increase in the trade and traffic of the great New West. Dawson CitY, the capital of the Canadian Yukon, is progressing. The people there are now commencing to feel the necessity for schools. A school beard has been or- ganized, books have been ordered from Win- nipeg, and a number of Manitoba teachers are preparing to leave for Dawson. The school population of the city is said to num- ber over 400. The telephone and the elec- tric trolley will be the next innovations in Dawson. Illustrative of the "Growing Time" in Canada, the Toronto Globe has issued a neat and beautifully printed and illustrated booklet showing the progress Canada has made during the past decade. It contains a series of views of the leading cities and towns in the Dothinion, of the farms farm buildings and public institutions. is a splendid advertisement for the country, and is nice to look at and interesting to peruse. It is creditable to the 'enterprise and me- ehanicaland literary skill of Canada's great- est paper. Notwithstanding the fact that the school teaching professiou seema -to be very much overcrowded and the salaries of teachers are so mieerably small, there are still vest crowds besieging the portals of the profession ready to rush in as soon ae standing room can be found. The Toronto and Oetawa Normal Schools are prowded for the present term, and there are over four hundred ap- plicants who could not gain accommodation in either institution. The new school at London will be opened about the first of the new year, when additional accommodation will be made for about one hundred more, but even then there will be a considerable army who will have to wait until the follow- ing year before they will, be able to find a resting place. The members of the Canadian -Press Ass°. elation, who took in the excursion from Tor- onto to the coast and home .by the famous Crow's Nest Pass Railway, have returned, after an absence of over three weeks, and ,will now have to settle down to the corn- 'monalities of every day life and once more earn their bread by the eaercise of their brains. After hobnobbing; and feasting with the lords and millionaires of the boundless west, it will go hard for a time to write local squibs, take in dollar subscrip- tions, and feed on buttermilk and browff- bread. But, such is lif;. -iJudging from their reports, they had n ;enjoyable trip, and return with a better opinion of the vastness, richness and greatness of this Can- ada of ours than they ever had before.' Sir Louis Davis has been appointed by the Dominion Government to proceed to the old country to consult • with the Im- perial authorities concerning the Alaskan boundary, and to give theM information concerning the situation as it exists between Canada and the United States. Sir Louis was a member of the International Commis• Bien that had this matter in hand, and is conversant with all the outs and ins con- nected with it. H9 is to be accompanied by Mr. Joseph Pope, Under-Secretary of State. Sir Wilfrid Laurier was to have gone himaelf, but hie public engagements are such that he can not leave Canada at the present time. It is stated that Sir Wilfrid Laurier and two of the Lower Province meinbers of the Dominion Cabinet intend delivering ad- dresses in several parts of the Province of Ontario during this fall. The places and dates are not yet fixed. The Ministers that will likely accompany Sir Wilfrid are Hon. Mr. Fielding and Hon. Mr. Blair. These gentlemen, although prominent members ot the Government, are comperatively little known to the people of this province, and it is thought this will afford our people an opportunity _of seeing and hearing them, and of becoming better acquainted with them. They` are both gentlemen who will improve at closer acquaintance. The idea is a good one, and it is hoped these gentle- men will make as extended a tour of Ontario as possible. In order to counteract the effects of Sir Richard Cartwright's great speech at Toron- to last week, the Conservatives are preparing to have a great counter demonstration in the same city, and Hon. Mr. Foster has accept- ed an invitation to be paesent. The demonstration is to be held on the 18th of this mosith. Sir Richard and Mr. Foster are, probably, the two greatest financial authori- ties as well as the two ablest public speak- ers in Canada, and after Mr. Foster has spoken the public will be able to judge more intelligent13 of the finanoial affairs of this great Canada of ours. We fancy Sir Richard will not suffer much at the hen& of his antagonist. The denionstration is also.intended to celebrate the twentieth an- niversary of the introduction of the great and only National Policy, as it was intro- duced into Parliament on the 17th of September. 1 . The people of London the less have been ,wrestliog with a street railway strike for about a year. So acute has the difficulty become and so -disastrous to the business in- terests of the city, that in order to end it, the council are now devising ways and means for the purchase of the entire street railway outfit by the city. Thie, it is be- lieved, is the only way in which the strike can be ended and peace be .restored. The labor organizations of the city have united against the company, and have formed a boycot against it, and they have sufficient strength and influence to prevent the citi- zens from patronizing the cars- of the com- pany. The company, on the other hands which is composed principally of wealthy Americans who own the systems in Detroit, Cleveland and other American cities, posi- tively refuse to recegnize the union in any way or to employ union men. They are running their cars in a sort of way, but are not giving the service the city requires, while on account of employing inefficient operatives, accidents have been numerous and the people are actually afraid to ride on the cars on amount .of the frequency of these accidents. The strikers also, seem to = hold out as tenaciously as the company and they actually compel the business men of the city to support them. The union levies subacriptions upon the n, and those who re- fuse' to respond are at once boycotted by the union, and rather than run this risk, the business men submit to the tax imposed upon them. Thie is the way the striker° have been enabled to hold out as long as they have. The loss on all sides has been almost incalculable. - What is going to happen ? The Mail and Empire of Saturday last has a long editorial entitled; ' Stody of the Holy Scriptures." This article is in mark d contrast to those that usual y appear in that journal. How- ever, it is an excellent article and will be cordially endorsed hy 11 who read it.
