This is Empire day, so called by those who, keeping in mind. the wis- dom of promoting a patriotic feeling among the young, selected May 23rd for suggestive observances. We do not the patriotic idea. We do not cultivate it sufficiently. Speech and song are means to an ond, and that end the laudution of all things Canadian. But the true pa- triotic spirit is inborn and inbred and {mds expression in the every-day life of the individual. "The tradition, that the soul of the man swells within him as he remembers that he is an Eng- lishman, points to the emotions that | should actuate one as he recalls that dhe is a Canadian. This | tionality pride of na- and coumtry is not some- thing which is offensive in display. It makes one a bettemscitizen and what- ever conduces to this result is to be commended. The proceedings of Empire day very properly precede those which mark: soother anniversary, not any longer the birthday of a queen, but the me- morial of her greatness. The 24th of May has been so long observed as a day of rejoicing that it would now be missed, and hence it has been decided | | {to 'perpotunte it. "It is a day of re flection, of thanksgiving, of gratitude for the comfort, "independence and salety vouchsafed to !British subjects. The empire reached its greatest su- premacy in the reign of Queen Vie- toria, and it is fitting that. there should be an annual reminder of this fact. The king sees in the anniversary that which merits his most grateful "| appreciation. An Evidence Of Wrong? Why are the names of the members of the North" Atlantic Trading com- pany so carefully guarded ? Is it be: cause the government fears that some member of the Interior department will be found in a false or faulty po- sition ? Assuredly not. It had been in- sinuated, and in a wav which showed the animus that lay behind it, that an ex-minister had an interest in the business, but that has been denied, And Mr. Sifton took the only posi- tion he could do saicly, and challeng- cd Mr. Foster, or any associate of his, to make specific charges. Mr. Smart, formerly deputy ministge of the interior and now an officer of the North Atlantic Trading company, explained why he could not divulge its membership, It was illegal to enter some countries on the continent and hold out any inducement to their peo- ple to emigrate. The better class of inunigrants are not the discontents who move out of any nativn because they will not submit to its laws and customs. These are not sought the United States, and not be sought by Canada. The Canadian government was not at liberty to push its publication of facts relating to the soil and ite ad- vantages in certain centres, and so it accepted the work of hooking agents whether they operated singly or in companies. Jt is contended that the North Atlantic Trading company put in the way of going to Canada over a hundred thousand men who would not have headed for it without their i fluence, and there oupht to be sof way of checking the returns and es tablishing the facts, 'So far there has been a great deal said that does not bear upon the case. kThe quarrel among the immigrant agents is qo side issue. The question is, Has the country been defrauded out of any money by the use that has been .made of the North Ktlantic company in promoting immigration ¥ Was the company paid any more for its service than was paid to other booking agents? 1f not--and there has been no grafting on the part of the government officials--what is all the row about ? {Of actual wrong doing there has fot vet been any exposare. by they should The Red Cross society was 'the ont WHIG. | i leged come of a. convention which met at; something in the Arctic and other cases quite as inguisitorial as that now in progress upon insurance. ? 'This recalls the attitude of the On-' tario opposition to the judicial en- quiry in the - Gamey case. It was al- that the investigation should not be taken out of the legislature, yo | and there is a vivid remembrance of the manner in which the opposition stormed because they could not have their way. Indeed the Gamey party resorted to the slimiest language in their references to the judges who | looked into and reported upon the case, ¥ When the imsuraace commission was named some faylt was found. It was pointed out that the New York legis- lative conwnittee had performed a splendid work, and that it should have been imitated in Canada and so far as the Canadian companies are concerned. Why go to the judges and the laymen outside of the house when there are in it so many who are fitted for the special service which the cir- cumstances call for ! There is a peculiar vaciation in the plans of the party and it is not remarkable that the vote on the Arctic case should be in keeping with it. The opposition raved against the Laurier resolution, because. it did not suit them," and then showed "their fa- tuity by voting for it in a body. They shouted "nay" when the ques- tion was put, but they voted "yea" when the division was registered. J Now let us hope there will be a searching cxamination of all the re cords. If there has been graiting the country wants to know it. Editorial Notes. The conservative executive have reason to kick against the manner in which the party patronage is being handed out.

Sir Mac's Wants. Ottawa Free Press. The conservative members of the senate have presented Sir Mackenzie Bowell with a magnificent hall clock. A stop watch would perhaps have been more serviceable fo enable the ex-premier to take time at the scna- torial foot-race which is yet due. The vogue of the separate skirt for wear with dainty lingerie or neatly tailored waists has led to a marked demand for separate coats, cne of the w pular models of which is that of the Sustration: The material is a tan cloth cut on the smartest of Ines, back and fronts suggesting rather that fitting the figure. There is no centro back seam, those from the shoulder serving to give better lines to the figure in the hack as well as the front. The collar is of tan silk, stitched flat to the coat, the same stitching 'repeated on the coatredges. Four brown mottled buttons of me- dium size, with loops of fine soutache braid, make the closing, smaller but- tons set on the back of the sleeve of mutton leg pattern, in the facing of which is set a narrow strip of light weight haircloth.. The lining silk is in a lighter shade of tan. With this coat is worked a jaunty little sailor of tan honeyvepmb braid, trimmed with blue bachelor buttons.
