remarkable change in the country
and among the people. On the morn.

in tliis great garden spot Of tho west
As we first rambled over the broad
prairie. things looked rather gloomy foI
the future. The prairie grass was dead
aud not to be seen nowhere, the wind
was constantly coming from colder
climate. Farmers were sitting in their
houscs. enjoying the heat of "a well fir.
ed stove aud the smoke which they
obtained through their pipes. Wild
geese were lowering and howing
around us in every direction. The
Jack rabbit was seen leaping in all
styles aiS shapes you eau imagine.
lD the cities tho front doors were closed
while inside good stove was sparks
ling and glowing. Men were seen with
the ulster aud women with tho heavy
Beaver coat. But all this has changed

PRESIDENTS MEssAGE.-Fellow Citi-
zens of the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives The failure Of the last Con-
gress to make the requisite appropriation
for legislative and judicial purposes, for
the expenses of the several executive de-
partments Of the Government and tor the
support ef the army, has made it necessa-
ry to csli special session Of the Forty
sixth Congress. The items Of the appro-
priations needed, which were sent to Con-
gress by the Secretary Of the Treasury at
the opening Of the last session, are re-
newed and herewith transmitted to both
the Senate and House Of Representatives.
Regretting the existence of the emergen-
cy which requires r special session of
Congress at a time when it is the general
judgment Of the country that the public
welfare will be best promoted by porma-
nency in our legislation and by peace and
rest, l commend these few necessary
measures to your considerate attention.

The ROYAL CANADIAN INSURANCE
Company, of Montreal may be cited as
leading example of the firm standing of
the foreign companies in the United
States.
AT the time OF the great St. John fire.
this company had about 100000 in the
United States which could net be remov-
ed while dollar Of liability existed there.
Within week its shareholders were as
Sessed $500, 900 to meet its loss of 1870, 600
at st. John, which was paid without any
recourse to legal proceedings, and the
company resumed its position in twenty
days from the time its license was revok-
ed by the New York Commissioner.
Notwithstanding these reverses, the
Royal Canadian to-day shows assets in
the United States of SG2S 900, net sur
pluS oVer all liabilities, including its
insurance reverse of S345,4l3 63 and a
net increase over its surplus in the United
States, over that Of January 1st, 1878, Of
S27, 1866 10.
This exhibit, after the payment in FIVE

country 13. In distributing the Chair
manship of % regular Senate committees,
the caucus committee gives 90 30 the
South and to the rest of the country. So
far as the Senate is concerned, therefore
the South will, in the words of Black burn
"be charged with the shaping of the leg
islation ofthe land" In other words,
tho nomina representa- tives of 1900, 900
Of people will control tho legislation of
40, 600, ,000-or to put the case moro ex-
sctly, the actual representatives of q
population of decidedly less than 10000
GOO of Southern whites-the 4 500, COO of
blacks in tha South not being represented
in the majority of the Senate ut all-will
shape for some years to come the law
making of the people OF the United
States. Political theorists are much ad-
dicted to talk about "the brute force OF a
majority" Would it not be we'll to have
some exhaustive discussion of the not
entirely new phenomenon of "the brute
force of Il minority?"
