The immigration department of Can ada bas good reason to protest ogainst the admission of those helj- lens and diseased creatures who are iwing refused an asylum in the United Stated and are finding their way into this country. immigration to America of men and women who are incapable of doing pioneer work. The United States is more particular than it was about the material in the shape of immi- grants which it receives, and for the reason that its population is growing {ast enough and is in no hurry to give away the balance of its unoccu- pied lands. Therefore, from the thou- sands who are goipg into New York, the halt, the lame, and the diseased, are being weeded out, and driven off, and rather than go back whence they came they are working into Canada, at various points. It may be that the transportation companies are facilitating the disposgy) of them. These companies are not expected to bring the incapables across' the ocean, and having done so will not take them back if it can be avoided. Hence it is that, according to report, between five and six hun: ured persons have been dumped into Canada, to become a burden to it, since they cannot be assigned to the unoccupied Jands of the north-west and there allowed to work out their salvation. To refuse the poor and helpless, standing room in a country so vast as this may seem very hard. But it is justifiable. These 'people are not, primarily, immigrants to Canada. They are the off scoutings of Europe, which careless American agents have picked up and steamship companies have transported at so much per head. They are the off scourings of Europe, and if tolerated must become a load upon the benevolently inclined and the charitable institutions. Canada is better without them. It, at any rate, is not expected to take the refuse of the United States, though it may be passed in by secret paths and subways. ' THE NEW MEDICAL COUNCIL. The medical bill - upon which Dr. Roddick, of - Montreal, has been 'so long engrossed --winning the favour and support of the medical profession by his desire to make its provisions agreeable to all-has became law ten tatively. The idéa is that the legis: ture of each province shall pass upon it, and accept it in lieu 'of the acts now in force, and therefore determine, by their getion, that thev do not re- yard this federal measure as an in- vasion of provincial rights. Practically the medica! men of the several provinces are united upon the merits amd nevessity of the law. Each provinte has its medical council, whose examinations and aims and plans are very much the same, and it has been felt, for the sake of the pro- fession, that the projosal to have oue coimeil, representing the domin- ion, with licensing powers, would ly the opening of a wider field, all Canada, to the young practitioner, and the protection of it from ull who bave not the credentials of the high- est character. The medical men should now aspire to something higher, the necessity for which was emphasized during the foith African war.

What aid they do? They had him detail a long siory of what he did, a story which, in evi- dence taken before a special commis sion, was directly and positively cons tradicted, and with the result that one judge called Pritchett "a seli-convieted liar." Among other things he declared that he miscalled, or slipped, at the count on election night, some eighteen or twenty of the ballots which had been marked for the conservative candidate, when the scrutiny of the ballots at Osgood hall left the return practically as it bad heen at the close of the election, as it had been made up and signed by Pritchett, as' Marshall B. Johnson, in the presence of witnesses. Well, why was he not prosecuted for forgery and perjury ? The case was referred to E. F. B, Joknston, one of Canada's leading lawyers, and he found that there was lacking the evidence that the man could he prosecuted for either offence. He Wwigned a fictitious name to the election returns, it is true, but it did not prejudicially affect the result, His charges agninst people of wrong-doing had nothing in coroboration of them. It was a case of oath against oath, each time. The affidavit made in De- troit was not serviceable in Canada in proceedings under the criminal code. The outery against the government because of this case becomes a farce, therefore, in view of the facts. The conservatives withdrew their warrant for Pritchett's arrest when he gave them the lying affidavit. They made a criminal bargain with him to that effect. A "second warrant could not he issued. Mr. Whitney and his friends are to blame if there has been nothing done in the way of bringing the man to account. They did not want him prosecuted. Having got from him a chapter of scandal, though the product of "a self-con- victed liar," they protected him from trial and treated him like a white haired boy. TRIMMING THE TRIMMERS. Did Mr. Whitney and his friends, his political allies in the legislature, op- pose the building of 4 railway, as a government work, from North Bay to Lake Temiskaming ? Mr. Kribbs, the late member for South Waterloo, and a candidate for re-election, when asked b+ Mr. Latch- ford, at Preston, if he votéd against the enterprise, answered that he did. When asked if in so doing he voted with his party he answered that he did. At North Bay and Havelock = Mr. Whitney said the opposition was tot against the railway, but against the government's treatment of the scheme. He said a vote of censure was proposed because of the govern ment's dilatoriness ih getting 5 sub sidy from the federyl government and jrocecding with the work. What are the facts? Mr. Ross, referring to the matter, in a recent speech, said : "It will be remembered that the ex- Plating parties sent out in the sum- mer of 1900 reported that porth of the height of land, gnd extending westerly from Lake Temiskaming' there was 5 fertile belt containihg 16,000,000 acres of gold arable "land. The entrance to this direct was by way ol the Canadian Pacific railway from the sast and Lake Temiskamine, In order'te furnish another avenue to the county, and to connect the settle ments with central Ontario, under con- ditions as favorable as they were al ready comnected with Eastern On- tario, the government proposed to construct on its own account what would practically be an extension of the Grand Trunk railway from Tor onto northerly, a distance of atleast 100 miles. It was believed to be of the wtmost i rtance that the gov. ernment: should control the entrance ~to this fertile belt, and that wettle- | ment could he better promoted by means of a railway in the hands of a government: than in the hands of any of $10,000 to survey a route for his was taken last year, and en: appointed to locate the road. commissi- pass. 1s it pot jossible to reach ant sii 5 iF | actually let, is it possible, except ap- ba. ik "One would suppose that such nt reasonable measure, framed for such an object, would receive the unani- mous support of the opposition. Not 80, however ! There was carping be cause fuller information had not been given as to the cost of construction, although a report of the engineer in charge had been laid on the table of the house setting forth the chagacter of the line, snd a map showing the entire rote from North Bay to Lake Temiskaming. In no case, until ° ten- ders were called for, and the contract ximately, to estimate the cost of any railway, or for that matter the erection of an ordinary public build- ing. : "Then it was complnived that we had recvived no subsidy from the do- minion government for this road. As if. we were redponsible for the action of the dominion government in mat ters entirely within their own control. "And so a vote of want of eonfi- dence was 'moved, in which the lack of information and the absence of a dominion subsidy were made the grounds for proposing the defeat of the government. Coula any course be more unworthy of a party claiming to be progressive ? "Although the railway system of old Ontario, thanks largely to the en terprise of the Ontario government, was within 100 miles of this fertile belt, Mr. Whitney and his followers, instead of heartily supporting a.mea- sure for completing the railway con- pection between the two portions of the vince, delayed the passage of the hill by eriticisms which had no bearing upon the merits of the bill it self, and which eouvld serve only: one purpose, and that was the postpone ment of the opening up of the coun try. 2 "I eall upon the young men of On tario who are seeking homes within the boundaries of their own province to. consider whether this policy was in their interests. "] ask the manufacturers and mer chants if Mr. Whitney's policy of de lay and obstruction is in their inter est, not alone in regard to this par ticular railway, hut in regard to every progressive business man of the province ? "Iu it not clear beyond the shadow of a aouht that the opposition has failed, and atterly failed, to connect itself with anv large and important scheme by which the province could be advanced in prosperitv, or its great natural resources opened for de- velopment by capital, native or for- eign ?' (Cheers. That is a pretty plain and pretty straight arraignment of the opposi tion, and its' trimming will be quite apparent to the people of New On: tario. These know who have been the friends of the settlers. The Ross gov. ernment ventured much in all the steps of the New Ontario policy. Tt has been antagonized at every point by the opposition, and its record can- not be obscured or lost sight of in the promises of the moment. The re cord of years cannot be wiped out by the apologies of a few hours or days me-------------- EDITORIAL NOTES. Mr. Marter is referred to as Mr. Ross' new recruit. When did Mr. Mar- ter join the liberal party ? The Haldimand conservatives have decided that they will not put a can- didate in the field. A sign that Mr. Whitney is not sweeping this province as his friends allege. Hire's a lesson. Of ninety boys who have been artested in Kansas City in the Inst six months all but two were cigarette - smokers. The habit, it is argued, leads to orime. No liberal govermment has ever heen upset for bribery. Mr. Blake, Sir, Oli ver Mowat, Mr. Hardy and Mr. Ross have got along without calling upon ees any monied man for "anether ten thousand." It is announced thay Mr. Haggart does not believe in the Treat Valley Canal. That's queer. He helped to promote it. Does he believe in the Tay Canal ? People used to say it was built very largely for his benefit, and his alone. : A contemporary is impressed with the fact that the expenditure of the federal government is growing. Well, the country is growing, also, hoom- ing, agg the government is forced to provide the facilities for trade even at considerable cost. There has been only one machine, which has been designed to control the votes of the people and make the elections "a vietory" for the conser vative party.

Dickinson, Michigan, was the re presentative of the United States. It was reported that Sir Henry had slapped Don Paces in the face, but this was denied. "According to one of the men who wus present when the outlireak wecur- red dificulty came primarily from a misunderstanding, due to 4 mis translation to Don Pacas of some remnarks made by Sir Henry. Don Pacas, who was very angry, said that Sir Henrv had been guilty of vhjudi cial conduct. Sir Henry resented his colleague's remarks in emphatic terms. Don Pacas made some addi ticnal remarks, emphasized by many gestures. The three distinguished gntlemen had it hot and heavy for o few minutes.

B Lowe, first grand vice-presi dent of the brotherhood of railway trackmen of America, arrived home this morning, having brought to a successful ending the demand of the C.P.R. trackmen of the eastern divi sion, for higher wages. Mr. Lowe has héen away since January, engagea chiefly upon. this matter. As is known, the railway company agreed to chancellor Boyd as arbitrator, and his decision is that the trackmen should receive $1.32 a day and fore men 81.580 4 day. The demand was for 81.50 and £2 respectively. The in crease wag given on the basis of the increase in cost of living since 1897 being twenty per cent. Mr. Lowe says that the trackmen seek to establish arbitration methods instead of going on strike, and the railway companies are coming to see that this is the best way. Last year, he says, the C.P.R. would not arbi trate; now they gladly enter into 4 compromise. It will be decided this week whether the claims of other di visions of the C.P.R. trackmen will he taken wp as a whole, or separate ly. Mr. Lowe says that the brother hood will very shortly approach the G.T.R. company and seek similar in crease for the trackmen on account of the greater cost of living, and he has every hope that it will be given Hard To Get But We Have Them.
