oe ~y 0 The people of Dawson and the
by th° 113° °f Yukon mining regions have been
brought together in the eager search
for gold,a.ll of which is found on lands
‘ow ned by the:government. As a large
proportiop of them are citizens of
foreign countries it has been thought
desirable that the government shall
t collect a. royalty on the gold that is
done to reco` up to the people of Can-
ada their large expenditure for ad-~
ministering the Yukon government
and maintaining peace and the se-

Th.-r.-“ro don iles m nv thi-»Q=
ments are crude, and men who lravl-,I
travelled long dis-aiices`fi-oiii the
mines in e.gei‘ expectation of letters
find it hard to wait in line behind
hundreds iff their fellows till all are
senved. The post <i'lice in Dawson
sei-ms to have been insufficientlyl
manned and the same is true of the
mines office. There has oeen more
or less fricfi »n inlvarious quartets, but I
we do not believe that the impartial
inquiry now to he made by Mr. Ogil
vie will sustain against the officials
the wholesale charges of corrupt-ions
and fraud that have gone a.broad|
through the press. Still it is well
that an 'inquiry is to be made. It
can hardly result otherwise than in
good, in the correction of any abuses]
found toexist, and in improvement ofl
the details of administration. '
The press of the United States has
been to a considerable extent the ve-
hicle for complaints against the Yukon
management, but the comment is not;
wholly adverse or unmixed with com-l
pliment. For example we find the
Boston Herald saying :
“The Canadian methods of maintain- §
ing the pub‘ic peace in the mining camp
are incomiarahly superior io our own, ,
but if these are attended with oilirial
corruption to the extent reported the,
gain may not be an unalloyrd one. Al
mining camp on this side of the border
line-that is, one which contained the
lawless and adventurous elements that`
make up the popufiiticn at Dawson- i
would be the scene of a great deal of
disorder, and human life would be held
in scant respect.”
The letter of "Agricola," in another
column of this issue will probably not
be taken quite seriously by anybody.
We do not think thatoui' teachers are
toowell paid. Their rafe of pay is
even less than in most other prov-
vinces, and not too high in any of
them whenfthe cost of living, which is
higher in some places than in others,
is taken into account. Nor can it be
denied that the teachers as a body
have the same rights as ether classes:
or the population to make a _repre-"
sentation of their grievances, if suchl-
they have. But this right can hardly
go so far as to justify a voteof cen-
sure on the government for carrying
out what is conceived to be a fair
public poliry in educational matters.
We publish “Agricola.’s” letter as the
expression of an extreme view and in
a jocular vein.

Various causes have contributed to
the marked declensioii in potato pro-
duction in this province, chief among
which is t-he potato bug, which has
greatly added to the labor while lea-
sening the crop. The market has
also been found to be a. fluctuating
and uncertain one. The lessons of
the situation in regard to potato
growing are therefore all in the
direction of turning attention to other
farm crops, or to stock-raising and
especially to dairying, as oifering a
more certain and steady return, With
an always abundant market.' When
once the situation is fully realized
our farmers and their farms will be
none the worse oli for ceasing to
raise large crops of potatoes for ex-
portation. ‘
