PAGE SIX. | WRETGHED WF eT SE Pathetic Meeting of Brother and Sister Who Had Long 3een Separated. . London, Oct. 31.--The pathetic meet ing of a brother and sister, after being parted for more than forty years, was described yesterday by Mr. Barnett, the missionary at the Westminster police court. . The man was Alfred Borgins, whose appearance at the court on a charge of attempting to drown himself, and whose sad "diary of starvation" has been chronicled in the newspapers. The sister is the wife of a working man, and she has taken her brother to her home in Cubitt Town. "l cannot describe adequately the meeting of brother and sister after forty-two years of separation," Mr. Bar- nett said. ~ "She sat silently by his side --she is two years younger than he-- and for more than an hour tenderly stroked his hand. "They had written to each other for years, until the sister changed her ad dresss. His letter were returned to him, and they lost sight of each other. newspaper, and telegraphed to his sister. That is how they came to meet. "His sister is poor==the wife of a working man. 'But,' she said to him, 'you must come home to Cubitt Town.' Borgius passed his first day "at home" yesterday restfully. He cannot eat much, but loving hands and hearts are trying to make him forget the miserable past. He has been introduced to nep- hews and grandnephews, and nieces and grandnieces whom he has never seen, and all vie with each other to make "Uncle Alfred" happy. The family history, like his own, is romantic. "We descended from the "Huguenots," he said yesterday, "and our ancestors were compelled to leave France.

Canada yesterday saw party broken in every province by a race and creed stampede to Laurier. The whole story of the victory in North Waterloo is told in the truth that one element in the electorate, which formerly divided on party lines, united for Laurier and King, irrespective of party lines, and carned its favorite to victory. The Borden opposition was the victim of a race and creed stampede for Lau- rier in every province. The Borden leadership suppressed the issues which might have inspired a counter-stampede against Laurier in the English-speaking provinces. The conservatives need to win thirty- five more seats than they carried yester- day before they can form a govern- ment of Canada, They might win by waiting until Sir Wilfrid Laurier passes from the scene, unless Sir Wilfrid is succeeded by some other statesman who can unite the minority in every province of Canada as the minority was united against Borden. Or, the conservatives can go in to fight for the right because it is right, realizing that courage can not fall worse than calculating cowar dice failed om Oct. 26, 1908.

And R. L. Borden will have to gel himself and his party out of leading strings to the Montreal Gazette type of toryism. The conservatives in Ontario and the west must be tired of having their federal leadership at the beck and | call of a lot of Montreal reactionaries who never give the party anything but advice. The Halifax platform has its merits, The place to build a platform is Ottawa, not Halifax. The stuff that R. L. Borden must put into his platform is not the brave language of sincere speech, but the valiant deeds of a par Itameéntary career inspired by sympathy If Hon. Frank Cochrane had started operations on the Gillies Limit, | with progress, respect for public rights and fair play to public ownership. The leadership of R. L. Borden is now accepted, even by Canadians, who be- lieve that Mr. Borden should have faced Sir Wilfrid Laurier on the school ques- tion with a determination to do right and leave Quebec to do as it pleased. Mr. Borden could not have taken any position on the school question that would have "1éft him weaker in Quebec than he was yesterday. No form of hostility to Laurierism could have united the church and state vote in the constituencies of Ontario and the other provinces more solidly: than that vote united against the Borden candidates yesterday. It is not to be doubted that Mr, Bor- den handled the school question in such a way as to gain nothing from Quebec or its sympathizers in the other provin- ces, and to lose at least twenty-five English-speaking constituencies that Sir Wilfrid Laurier could not have carried if he had been brought face to face with the issuess raised by his betrayal of provincial rights, his hostility to nation- al schools. But R.

Let Mr. Borden make more use of W. F which Mr. Maclean has largely made his own. If Mr. Borden is determined to cut Mr. Maclean's throat let him use the knife after he has become premier.

TAKEN LONDON TO FOLLOW PHIL- ADELPHIA"S LEAD: ------ Ten Thousand Acres of Waste Land in City That May Be Cultivated. London, Oet. 31.--The city of Lon- don is about to follow the example set by Philadelphia. "Within en omnibus ride of the Bank exist, it is reckoned, quite 10,000 acres of waste land. Much of this lies vacan' even for years, "eating its head off" and of no service to man or beast. = These vacant plots, even when to al appearance masses of rubbish and brick- bats, are capable of growing most things that a garden is expected to grow. hy then should they not become actual gard- ens without delay? : It is hoped that this consummation will soon be reached. Philadelphia--the pioneer city in making waste places blos som like the rose--provides, it is learn- ed, for over Soo families out of its va- cant sites. Cannot London and Man- chester and every great town in England do the same? A society has been formed--the Va- cant Land Cultivation Society--with the object of obtaining the loan of unused land. from the public authorities and private owners, and a first-class gard- ener has been retained to visit the gard eners and give advice. The county council has made a beginning by grant ing a loan of land at Fulham, and twenty men are now at work on the patch. But now is the time to make the move- ment general all over the country. If these melancholy rectangles, these per- nicious eyesores, where a tangle of weeds indicate the capabilities of the soil, could be taken in hand this winter, the carly spring would see rich gardens dotted all about the town, bearing in London alone $500,000 worth--it may be $1,000,000 or $1,500,000 worth--of pro- duce where nothing grew before, and serving as happy recreation grounds-- for there is no recreation like gardening --where no one, not even a truant child, refreshed himself before, For this ideal to be achieved two things are wanted : the free grant of the vacant lands for tins temporary but precious work, and the quick sympathy of the public. Expenses are small and results large. The English society, whose headquarters are at 390 Wilson street, E. C., hope for as great a return in England; and Joseph Fels, who has inspired it, has the advantage of Am- erican experience. There is reason to hope that the movement will spreal rapidly all over England, as it has in America, but clearly London, with its 10000 wasted acres, should give the lead. THOUSANDS IN PARADE. Bengal's Protest Against Parti. tion. Calcutta, Oct. 31.--A remarkable anti- European demonstration was made throughout Bengal to-day, on the oc- casion of the third anniversary of the partition of the province. The natives observed the anniversary as a Jay of mourning, discarding their clothes and footwear, and abstaining from food. All shops were closed in Caleutta. Special police proclamations were posted everywhere forbidding meetings and processions after 5 o'clock, and or dering the arrest of any native found carrying weapons. In consequence of the alarming ru- mors that the Bengals contemplated an attack on Europeans, two companies of Gordon Highlanders were turned oul for patrol duty and the remainder of the regiment was kept under arms in the fort Two hundred police with fixed bay- onets marched to the scene of the prin cipal assemblage in Calcutta, while soo other police, including plain-clothes men armed with revolvers, were posted in the native city, in order to be ready to quell any roiting. Forty thousand Bengalis paraded the streets, the procession being a mile and hali long, and§stopping all traffic Surrendranath Banerjee, the '"'un- crowned king" of Bengal, was escorted by a bodyguard.
