The Canadian Exodus,

The two political parties In Canada
are angaged in bitter controversy In re-
gard to the annual immigration 20 the
United States. 1t is charged by the op-
position that thousands aud thousands
Of Canadians are fleeing from the Do
minion to the West, and that the party
in power is responsible for the exodus.
A vehement denial is, of course, made
by the other side. The thousands who
cross tine st. Lawrence are, is Is ALLEGED.

with depleted pocketbooks and trunks
full Of smuggled goods. The returns of
our Custom House officers show that this
is all nonsense and that there is a
steady stream of immigrants flowing
across the border. But the opposition is
wrong in laying the blame at the door
of the conservatives. No policy that
any party in Canada can adopt will
check the exodus. Legislation cannot
stop it. The trouble is deeper. 1t lies
in the fact that Canada Is almost q will
darness when compared with the West
ern prairie lands. 1t is within the power
and province Of Canadian legislation
and craftsmanship to reverse the order
OF nature then the party now in office IN
Canada Is responsible for the migration
of its population. Canada ought not,
however, to complain. II has a great
future as summer resort for American
tourists.-N. Y. Herald.

The breath Of the simeon is felt in
the land, and people who wonder how 1t
feels to take an after dinner walk In the
Desert Of Sahara now know all about il.
Everybody and everything Is depressed
except the mercury in the thermometer,
and even that is 30 listless as to lie most
desperately. Who can ever again trust
the face OF an indicator that admits only
ninety degrees when every one knows
1t should Say at least two hundred and
Ely? Who wonders that trees, shrubs
and grass are dying when human beings,
who Gao find liquid consolation for
themselves, are almost wishing for death
because everything is so dryf What is
the use Of meteorologists telling as that
there has been weather even warmer, at
least twice before within ten years, when
every one knows that single extra de-
grees would be dangerous to human life
as far as himself is concerned? Human
ity never before learned how much heat
1t could endure and yet live. After such
days as the two just past no one need
try to make people disbelieve In future
world Of fire and birthstone one merely
because the supposed heat of the place
would render existence insupportable.--

THE HEAT HAS not been so intense
Tor many years. The thermometer at
Long Branch yesterday stood higher
than in Washington. II varied from 90
TO 100. The Presijent,s chamber at
ElberoR was warmer than that In the
White House had been at any time. But
it is said that the patient did not ex-
perience any bad effects from the heat
and appeared to endure it very cheer
fully, In Wilmington the heat was
greater than any day during the year.
The thermometer varied in the shade
inside of the house between 1OS and
l04 in several localities and in some IL
rose to 1Jb. Several dairymen say that
1t stood higher in their milk houses
than they ever knew it to do before.
Near the Brandy wine Springs in Mill
Creek Hundred, it was higher than 1t
had been, as appears from a registry, for
twent-six years.

The telegrap hic dispatches from
different points in New England this
morning inform us that something like
a plague of darkness fell upon many
parts Of that unhappy section yester-
day. In Providence the sun almost
refused TO shed ray of light even at
midday, and the gas had to be turned
on. 1t was discovered, however, that
even this had given out, and the old.
fashioned tallow "dip'' came into re-
QUESTION. Boston witnessed some
curious atmospherical phenomena.-
The green of the famous common
changed its color to hue never before
seen at the Club" The gas Jets be-
came magnified into small electric
lights and the whole sky assumed a
yellowish tinge. No one can tell what
1t all means. One theory is that Cana.
dian forest fires are responsible. An
other is that there is something wrong
with the shorter and longer waves of
light, and that the yellow and green
have dissolved partnership. II 1t were
tho orange and green that had fallen
out we could easily account for the
situation.

The CONDITION OF the President is
reported to be something better. But
all concur in the opinion that he is still
In precarious state, and may die at
any moment. We are told by bis ply
sicians that he has been kept alive by
administering stimulants at various pc
RODS tor some time, and the hope
which the doctors have recently ex-
pressed that they may be able TO do this
until more favorable turn Is taken in
the disease that now afiiicts nearly his
whole system, is all that can be relied
upon. The sympathy of the whole ma
ton has been extended to the SUFFERED
in greater degree than was ever wit
messed before, and the prayers of the
people daily ascend for his recovery, and
1t is said that nothing less than . mira
Gle will save him in the end by the ablest
medical men of the country.

xawer was time when the prospec is
Tor the future Of Wilmington were half
80 bright as at present. Improve
ments, If we can judge correctly, of
immense value to the Industrial inter-
ests of the city, are progressing On
every side of it. A great part of the
low marsh on the south side of the
Christiana has been filled up and rail-
road sidings are about to be laid to
four or five important works that are
now in operation there, as soon as the
arrangements can be effected by the
Wilmington and Northern Railroad
Company. This will give that section
all the facilities for freight both by
rail and water that could be desired,
a. the same road will extend branch
to the wharf at the Old Ferry, and the
main line to the Delaware River to
connect with the Delaware Shore road
ON the New Jersey side by means of a
steamer.
On the South West limits of the
city there is a complete net work of
rails-three roads entering that section
now, and the Baltimore and Ohio are
constructing their surveys about a
mile east of the Brandywine Springs,
coming toward this side of the town,
but just whore it will enter Ia not yet
known. It is said, however, that
that there In now no doubt that the
new road will be built, as part of the
roadway in the county has been
bought and paid for. Thus half the
southern circle of the city is completely
covered with railways. On the north
ern section railway is projected to
pass around the city on the southwest
side ofthe Brandywine from the p, W.
q B. nearly to Walnut street and on
the northeast side from what is called
brandywine station through the Ninth
ward, crossing Market street near the
mills and to continue up the north
side Of the Brandywine to the factories,
some three miles, and some say as far
Chadd's Ford to connect with the Bal
timore Central Railroad.
Thus it will be seen at once that
Wilmington Is to be given the greatest
facilities that any city could have from
railroad communication, while it has
superior water facilities.
These facilities give Wilmington ad-
vantages over any city of its size in
the United States, and as it is now
engaged successfully in manufactures

tries, We can come to no other conclu-
sion than'that in very few years the
city viii be carried to the Delaware
river front where additions to our in
dustrial works will be put in operation
while on at. least three of the four
sections Of our suburbs will be RAPIDLY
covered with other fiourishlng mann
factories, making our city, very bee
hive Of industries now, far more able to
supply the greater demands to bs
made upon II for it, various mechanical
products In the near future.
