A BEFOGGEp CITY.

Chicago is in bit of middle about her
city government. Under the present charter,
which is the result of biennial legislative
amendment and the patient doctoriny OF rings
and cabals for the last thirty years, her gov
crnment got so bad that couple of years ago
her honest people appointed a committee
of seventy TO look after her on the plan Of the
New York septuagint that brought the Tam.
many thieves TO grief: but the labors of the
Chicago committee have been amentably
barren OF results. The best the committee
could do was to propose an abandonment of
the special charter and adopt in lieu of il the
general Incorporation act of 1872 But 10 do
so required some previous action on the par,
of the existing government, and as such nc.
ton pretty certainly involved their own i'm.

the government in the hands ofthc little ward
politicians, il placed IL in the hands of des

reigning dynasty even more effectively than
the adoption OF the general incorporation act.
and it was not surprising, therefore, 10 find
the present city governmeni,ake steps At once

ENCOURAGING TOKENS.

After a comparative season of stagnalion
and encouragement of several years, Ottawa
opens the spring of 1915 with many tokens of
renewed prosperity and material advance

fact that there is not a single storc-room or
business place unoccupied, and also that Ae
number of houses TO rent of all grades is
wholly inadequate TO the demand
Under the circumstances, il is but natural
that building spirit has walked up among
our people, and with half dozan of frs,
class brick store rooms already under way,
many others are in contemplation, TO say
nothing of a fine new hotel, the new opera
house, convent building and large number
of new dwellings, going up in all quarters OF
the city. All our carpenters, contractors and
builders agree that they never were crowded
with as many contracts und with as much
business in prospect in Ottawa rs they art
this season. There are no unemployed mer
about the street corners, and no mechanics

\ census Of our city just taken under direc
ton OF Mayor Swift reveals the further graft
| tying fact that, whereas, according to the
croakers, Ottawa, in business and population
was supposed to be about stationary for the
last lour or five years, we have really in that
time gained nearly 1000 in population, -Cho
census of 1870 having given us population
of 1,736, while the census just taken shows a
population Of 9,l05. OF this number 4,50S
are under 81 years of age.
| There Is no doubt that Ottawa has suffered
some for the last few years on account of an
impression that has got abroad that our city
is heavily in debt, and that the local taxation
was very high. While this To some extent
has been true, We are graiiiied in being able

AGRIC i l 7 i R A L.

In A NEW country such as this, where the
population is sparce and very much scattered,
and by reason of this, see but little Of each
other, people are apt to weary of their lot,
they are apt to become aiscentented and
beget thirst for some other cline Or some
other business. Particularly is this true of
a large portion of our farmers. The major
ity OF them have been here since an early
day and were successful miners, and when
misfortune comes in the shape of failure of
crops, they are liable to long for old times,
and wish that fate would lead their wander
ing steps to a new and better field of action.
Companionship is essential to mans hppi-
ness, and few who are isolated will be con
tent save in the rapid accumulation Of wealth.
They never pause to think of the condition
of the farming population of another coun-
try; never stop to count the blessings they
enjoy, but if their position in life is not what
it once was, become disappointed, and if
they do not break up farming and rush
around over the country, are always grum-
bling about depression in business, and
blame their calling that such is the case.
Such farmers raise their children to hate a
farmers lite; are continually telling them
that they want to make something better Of
them that they desire them to choose a
profession and lead the life of gentlemen.
This is all very nice in theory, and the child
drinks in the hope of career of ease and
pleasure. Little do they know of the reali-
ties of such a life; of the great number of
failures in proportion to the number that
enter such fields. 1t would be far better for
the child if instead of filling their heads
with these foolish aspirations, they would
teach them what is actually true, that theirs
is the most Independent occupation known
among men; that it affords ample scope for
a lifetime of study and improvement. To
lead the life of a farmer does not necessarily
mean to grow up in ignorance in fact, there
is no profession where intelligence can be
brought to better account than in the cult
vation and preservation of the soil. The old
ways Of our fathers are fast being left be-
hind; new and better modes are being
adopted, and we predict that few years
hence the farmers, instead of being derided
and sneered at as the most ignorant class in
the land, will be acknowledged as the most
Intelligent.
The importance Of agricultural education
is being agitated, and meets with favor on
all sides; the vast power of the farmer is
beginning to be realized: instead of the
dupe, led captive at the will of an intelli-
gent master, they are raising themselves to
the lead, and their former masters fear and
tremble. The great army that have sub
sisted at their expense are fast being made
to realize their utter uselessness to society.
Then, if our farmers would have their
children be independent and occupy posi-
ton in the front ranks of men, let them ed
ucate them and learn them to love their occu-
patton. 1t is not long to be considered a
drudgery; even at present, in summing the
matter up, we find their lot is no worse than
that of other callings.

SWIFT AND DANGEROUS.

With no head winds or heavy seas, p swift
ocean steamship will make an exceptionally
quick passage. At other times, she makes a
good trip, in spite of head winds and heavy
weather, simply by driving through. The ship
must be ''rammed" at the seas. and she must be
strong enough to stand the fearful strain. The
williams and Guion ships Montana and Dakota
the latter of which has just arrived at New York,
have been put through this ordeal and have
come out very badly used up. Tie former left
Liverpool on September 30th, being detained a
day for the supposed purpose of racing with two
other ships for New York. She did not touch at
Queenstown, but started on rush across tile
ocean, and in face of a heavy wind was put
through at the rate of thirteen OF fourteen knots
an hour. She naturally shipped immense seas,
which pounded on her decks like tbunderbolts,
shattered the ship, and poured into the two for
ward compartments till they had in them SEVEN
teen feet OF water The Passengers protested,
and the crew refused to work, and finally the
Captain was prevailed on to return to Queens
town. The passengers then came by the DAKOTA
which arrived in New York, also damaged about
her bow and leaking. II persons who are in
such desperate hurry to cross the ocean would
understand that their quick passages are often
made with great risk to the ships that are driven
30 hard against wind and sea, perhaps they
would learn to be in little loss haste.
