§;tColIler's Weekly views with some con- cern the movement of so many United States farmers of the better class into the Canadian Northwest, under the circum- stances in which it is taking place. The main reason assigned for the movement is that the westward iiow of population ‘fhas bumped into the unyielding front of ranch, tlmberland and mining tract grabs, and so tums north into Canada- erelong in numbers of one hundred thousand a year--birthright plundered

expatriates." The idea is that an inferior class of immigrants is crowding the better class out of their birthright. But there is more than this. There is the attraction of abundant fertile land in Canada under the most. orderly and the frecst govern- ment and institutions the world possesses. Undesiriible iminigriints from south-

eastern Europe are pouring into the Rv- public in hundreds of thousands and o\'er' crowding its cities while the more valuable class of sturdy and industrious farmers are crossing into Canada.

The Chicago Journal says “thc citizen-‘

ship of the United States mustdeterlorate awfully if these currents cont-lnue to in- crease in volume as they have in the last deontic." And the some ably conducted

journal asserts that the fear of “an Amer- ican conquest of Canada" by this means, of which \ve have all heard something, is merely n nightmare. These people, the Journal says do not rare about national politics. 'l`hey go to Canada to build homes, to develop the land and to make

money. lf they are honestly governs-d, under free institutions thcv will not seek

to change the order of things. This is a common-sense view ofthe situation and

no doubt the true one. Canada inny safely welcome n class who come to attach them- i

selves to the land and to live by its culti- vation. They will hc the better for being trniiied under institutions and laws simil-

ar to our own, and are ii much more de- sirable class than the majority of those whom we can expect to receive from thc

roeo inn na ri/iesuir. ‘

Lord Nelson wasborn in 1758 and a little

less than a century later, in 1867, Admiral Togo was born._ Nelson iuildllt his last and greatest battle and died at Trafalgar In 185, aged 47 yoars.'(Napoleou and Wellington 'wore each 46 when they fouggt at Waterloo). Togo fought the great battle of the Sea of Japan in imii at tbeage of-i8 and still lives. “That after destroylng one of the greatest ot the naval powers," says the Scientific Ameri- can," he should have in hand a fleet practi- callyas powerful as that with which the war opened, proclaims Admiral Togo as one of the very greatest admirals of this or any other age. What he has done has not only never been equalled but has never been approached." lt` is not without satisfaction in view of the greatness of his achievements that we recall the three

years ho spent in the famous Brltilsh naval college of Greenwich. There he learned the art of modern nnvalwarfare. And he was destined to gain his signal triumphs in a Britisirbuilt battleship.

The Mikasa, Togo`s famous ilagahip

was built by Vickers, Sons and Maxim a Burrow, England, in 1000, and was at the time of her launching the largest battle- ship afloat. At the beginning of the war she was still the largest battleship in eommissionin any navy. lier displace- ment is l5,K)0 tons. She is ii thoroughly up-todatc vessel and includes all the ac- cepted ideas as to speed, armor and armament-of naval designers. The only points in which ships of later design Bur pass her are those due to the lessons oi the warln which the Mikasa has figured soliirgcly. She has been subject to ut-

tack by the guns oi the cncniy's fleet, by the powerful batteries ofl’ort Arthur and

by the deadly mine and torpedo. Togo was trnined in England, and his flagship was built- there. llis country is the ally of Britain and wc, believing her cause is just, rejoice in the signal victories he is winning with something of the 'feeling that would be ours' if he were himself

the general public as lar poallble, we have from the ilrst felt that lf, the grant- lllil or refusal of the privileges asked for by the Driving Club were a matter of ex- pediency alone it would be a debatable one. There were good cltlsena on both sides of the question, men for whose per- sonal judgment in moat matterslwe have profound respect. But we were unable to regard the matter as one of mere ex- pedieucy. There were behind the matter of expediency certain limitations of law und questions of public right which could not be safely ignored. ,

WEBSTER AND THE MONROE DOCTRINE

Daniel Webster, in several respects one

ofthe greatest men the American Re- public has -yct produced, did not share the opinions nowso much in vogue at

object of the famous Monroe Doctrine. He was especially careful to assert the illlllropricty of any interference by the Unitod States with other countries un- less the circumstances constituted an actual peril to his own nation. Here

is a passage from one of his speeches:

“It is not' for us to set .bounds

to belligerent operations, so long ns they do not aifect ourselves

Our right to 'interfere i`nany case is the right of reasonable and necessary self-defence. It is n high and delicate ex- ercise of that right,one not to be made but on grounds of strong and manifest reason, justice and ncccesslty. * " " It is not a. slight injury to our interests, it is not evena great inconvenience, that makes outncase. There must be danger Loonr security, or danger, manifest and

The Govemment candidates were elect- ntl in London and North Oxford yesterday, Hon. Mr. Hymun`s majority in London is larger than was here generally expected, and in Oxford the Opposition can only claim a “moral victory" in somewhat re- ducing the usual Liberal majority.
