A very con- siderable movement has set in from the interior of Europe, which bids fair to add to the population of Canada a. new and vigorous colony of Slaves and (:‘ralicians who will prove desirable settlers in the North-West. The North-West. clamours for more settlers. This clamor is easily understood. The present population is so small that each family is isolated, and it is not possible to maintain schools or roads, or enjoy social intercourse.

One of the most noticeable changes pro- duced by the war, insignificant in itself. but important as an indication of altered ideas, is the general use of the word jingo instead of the word patriot. Read the articles in the American journals, and you will rarely find the word “patriotism. ” The man who is yelling about the national flag. loyalty to his country. and his anxiety to die for his native land, is no longer call~ ed a patriot. but is spoken of as a jiugo. It is scarcely possible to over-estimate the importance of the change in opinion which the alteration of the name indicates. In these days of steam, railways, telegraphs and electricity. the world has become too small to be divided by tribal diStincLions.

It is too soon, yet. to form any sound opinions as to the ultimate effects of the war, but it may he snfely assumed that: Spanish dominance in the west is rapidly approaching an end. A hundred years ago Spain ruled all South and central America, and an important portion of Nunh America. fifty years later her possessions were con- tined to South America ; tu-dny they are limited tr) Cuba and some adjoining islands and by the end of the present century Spain will be entirely expelled from Ameri ca and its islands.

There is also another por tion of the American population which re- gards the Spanish war as a blunder, and which points to the possibility of American trade and commerce being eriously dam- need by the sympathies of the forty mil- lions of Spanish people who form the rul- ingpn‘ver in South America, being given to Spain, and whose feelings are now 'lecidedly hostile to the Americans. Both these elements are quietly and unostunta- tiuusly laboring in the ause of peace. and sooner or later will accomplish desirable results. i l | t l The whole world is perfectly well aware i that this journal is the organ of Advanced i Thought, also that it is the exponent of i the True, the Gootl,and the Beautiful, also - that it is a strong and earnest advocate of r! tempemnce ; and also that its~most es- ! teemed contemporary and colleague is Free , dom.

A 1' ‘»MA.- _. ’ The bill for the purpose of enabling the government to take a plebiscite on the sub ject of prohibiting the importation sale or manufacture of intoxicating liquors, has ‘ passed through the various stages, and has not been opposed by any of the parties in- terested.

The millions thus spent in maintaining order in Klondike will have to be extract- (‘d in the shape of taxes out of the labor- ing class of the Dominion. All money ro- . sulting from taxation has to be obtained ' from the labor which produces it. The question now naturally arises,â€"if the labor iing class of the people of the Domjn ",‘.( ‘ have to pay millions of dollars to maintain lsoldiers and police in Klondike what ad- ,vantage do they receive in return? Do they receive any of the gold found in the ‘Klondike? No. That is given to the shystcrs and skallawags from all pants of the earth who go there to grab it. and‘éhe I Canadian tax payer gets none. Does the ' Canadian tax payer derive any advantage whatever from the discovery of gold in the Klondike '3 No. This journal would feel ‘ grateful to any person who could point out i ‘the slightest advantage which the people i of Canada can derive from the Klondike, under present ideas of administration. But we see that it is a very costly posses- sion requiring the presence of soldiers and police. What should be done under such circumstances ? Of course the right thing:r to do would be for the soldiers and police to exclude all trespasses from the region, and for the government to work the 291d mines in the people's interest by hiring Indians. Chinese and Esouimaux. and by sendingrall Convicts to Work out their scnt- v ences in the Klondike mines. That would i he to the advantage of the people, but that l is just what will not be done, and failing! the adoption of that system then it would be best to close the territory. In any case it appears that at present the Klondike Is a curse to Canada. l The Laurier Government has wisely de- l cided to maintain a military force in the Klondike region. The population of that i country will consist chiefly of roughs. l toughs. gmnblers and thieves, and although ‘- n considerable force of mounted police have already been sent to preserve order in the territory, yet it has been deemed necessary 1 to increase the force by the addition of u military contingent. The outfit for the soldiers has been prepared and will be sent to Seattle, where it will be taken in charge by the Boston and Alaska Transportation Com pany and conveyed by the sea route to St. Michacls or Dawson. The cost of the transportation of the outfit is publicly an. nonnced to be about $200,000. If that is the cost of transporting the outfit of the soldiers, it would be interesting to learn the cost of the outfit itself, and the cost of transporting the soldiers. \Ve may fairy calculate that the cost of the soldiers and of the mounted police will run every year into millions of dollars. “Standing :ugcther for humanity and and peace.” Chauncey, dear old buy,timse words of yours just exactly express the ideas of thin juumal. Shake! Thanks. There will be a reasonable prospect of this world attaining a. high degree of civiliza- tion, and of the divine‘ doctrines of the Nazarene being adopted, when the United States and Britain stand together “for hu- manity and peace.” “I believe that the friendship of the English people for us, which has been so cemented during the present crisis, will result: in something murc than a more un- derstanding between the two nations in the future. It would be a. glorious alliance that of the two great Anglo-Saxon races standing together for humanity and peace." One of the cleverest public men in the United States is Mr. Chauncey Depew. l It is evident that he has carefully at died! the articles which have appeared in Ivesé columns advocating a fuderationx of ":pr English-speaking population of the \i'orlfl‘, and, after mature consideration, he has fully accepted this journal's conclusions. The alliance of the United States and Britain would control the destiny of near- ly half the worlds surface and together they would rule more than four hundred millions of people. It ,was with much gratification: that this journal found Mr. Dcpew, in a. speech he made at Cleveland, Ohio, last Week, publicly announcing his views to be favorable to an alliance be- tween the States ancl Britain. He made the following remark :â€" l 'stluitial reason why the people of Ontario should desire to increase the number of ' a farmers in the North-West. Why want! i I more farmers in Canada ? We have now ? .' so many farmers that what they raise has i I to be sent abroad to be sold. Then ; what’s the use of more farmers? How- . over, whether we want them or not they are coming. A boat left Hamburg only the other day with nearly a thousand :‘ Galicians for the N orth-West, where there '1 are already some four thousand of their! countrymen. We learn also from the es- teemed Montreal Herald that tens of thousands of the agricultural class in Austrian Poland are only awaiting a farâ€" orable opportunity, and possibly some little assistance from those who precede “ them before they too set out to make homes for themselves on the plains of 1 Western Canada. The task of keeping 1 body and soul together has become too I 1 hard in the old land, where they and their I forefathers lived, and they are being H driven forth by stern necessity to seek the 1 means of making a livlihood where the " conditions are more propitious. A move- ment is also on foot to found a great relig- t ious colony of Baptists in the Rainy River t District of Ontario, where there are two million acres of land and a good market f close at hand in the mining towns and camps of the Lnke of the Woods and Rainy Lake. This journal hopes that. its esteemed contemporary the Montreal Her- ald may be Correct in announcing that a . 0 great religious colony is to be established 1| i1. Ontario.

Mr. Hugh McLenna-n comes next on the list, with a. handling of a. million bushels of wheat, and profits amounting to almost a quarter of a million dollars. It alsolooks as if Mr. Robert Meighen, the ever-active and far-seeing President of the Lake of the Woods Milling Com- pany, would have to tell his directors at the next; annual meeting that the spring raise of 1898 had netted them from $500,- 000 to $750,000 clear profit. Speaking of fortunes that have been made during the last few weeks in Montâ€" real adcspatch states, “Mr. W. W. Ogil- vie is said to have had 1,500,000 bushels of wheat, on hand, and stands to make not less than $750,000 or perhaps a. round million. These concerns write ofl two profits, the first on the wheat and the sec- ond on flour. - Wheat has been quoted this week at $1.75 in Duluth and 81.80 in Chicago. This is all purely speculative. A (lespatch from Chicago, speaking of Wheat. says “the market subsequently sold up to $1.25 declining to $1.15, rallying above $1.20, finally selling to $1.06. On such 9. mar- ket as we are having at present news and conditions are entirely out of control of all influences.” There is nothing to war- mnt the price being above 81 and as soon as the war boom is over. the price will go down wiLh a. slurnp.
