Of the United States, each failed il
amicably settling the question, ane
away back in the past it engaged the
talents of Burke, Castlereagh, Bath
urst, Stanley, Aberdeen, and a host Of
others. For about sixty years there
has been no end of quarrelling between
the two countries over the terms OF
the treaty. ~ .. ~ 4.3.. &.
A letter has been received by the
Archbishops and Bishops Of Canada
from the Vatican, prohibiting criti-
cism by ecclesiastics offdecisions of
the civil courts Of Canada. It is pre-
sumed that the enforcing Of this rule
will have the effect of upholding both
the dignity Of the pulpit and the bench
in the Province of Quebec. In recent
election contests it was not an unusual
occurrence to witness q cure of a par
ish denouncing from his pulpit certain
judges for rendering a. verdict in &C
cordance with the laws of the land
but in direct opposition to the desires
of the Roman Catholic hierarchy.
The prospects of a bountiful harvest
Throughout Canada are very promising
A bountiful harvest is looked upon as
the only means Of relieving the de
pressed state of trade, and saving the
country from the general bankrupt
state in which it has. been during the
last three years. The crops in the
Province OF Ontario are exceptionally
good. Farmers, in anticipation Of wal
prices prevailing through the year
have sowed an unusual breadth OF
wheat. Great damage to the potato
lcrop will occur from the devastating
Imarch of the Colorado potato beetle
who are arriving in great numbers il
Canada. The history of this destruc.
tive insect, whose operations will soon
be. familiar to every farmer on the
continent of North America, is traced
back to Colorado, and it is. recorded
that the odor of potato-patches proba-
bly, appeals to the instinct of these in
sects at great distances, and directs
their migratory flight. They travel
sometimes in great mu1titudes, and
also sail down rivers and lakes on
timber RATS, OF ride free on railway
cars bound East. 1t is calculated that
q single pair Of these insects are capa-
bic of producing during q season more
than fifty millions of progeny, What
the effects Of these marauding insects
will have on the potato crop through
out the Dominion remains to be seen
The York Pioneers of Toronto have
a project on foot to raise a monument
to the memory of Tecumseh, the fam
Que Indian chief who distinguished
himself with his band of warriors, as
an ally of Great Britain, and prevent
ed Canada from falling into the hands
Of the Americans i'll the war Of 1912
The Dunlein Act, which resembles
in many particulars, the Maine law fol-
the suppression of the liquor
traffic, is fast gaining favor III some
parts Of the Dominion. Many towns
in Ontario have passed the act by large
lmajorities. Archbishop of Toronto is
opposed to the act, on the ground thai
the passing of a stringent temperance
law would force people into the terri
BILE practice Of using opium, and leaC
them to drink in large quantities a.
their homes. s.na r 3D 5
