has shown itself so anxious to hold up the
country as desirable one for immigrants
-underrate the productiveness of the soil.
Where, therefore, is the boasted fertility of
the dominion and her vaunted superiority
over the United States when the censue
shows no less than thirty counties with a
wheat!average of less than 4 bushels to the
acre? There are some instances in which
the acreage Of wheat to the acre is q of a
bushel! Think of that, oh ye happy tillers
Of the Minnesota soil. Compton county
wheat average q bushel! Terniscouata
~ bushels! Renfrew county q bushel!
Lanark, with an acreage of 10000,
yielding, so says the govern
ment official, from 2 to bushels!
Nor is it alone in wheat raising that our
neighbors are so unfortunate-potatoe it
seem are equally difficult to raise 'over the
border. Poor Compton, which succeeds
in harvesting three-quarters of bushel of
WLOlV ~ bhO oSA0s dSSSAOIDS W
utterance," manages to produce nine
bushels of potatoes, and there are some
thirty returns showing an average of less
than fifty bushels to the acre. How does
this compare with the $50, 800, 400 and
even 500 bushels of Minnesota and Dakota !?
One would naturally ask, how is it that
these frugal, thrifty, hardy Canadian
farmers go on tilling soil which is so
niggard in its returns; why do they not
lay down their farms in grass and turn to
stock raising? Surely it would pay bet
ter. The census-the official statement of
the Canadian government, shall answer.
There are some dozens of districts where,
according to the official returns, the aver
age cut of hay is below half a ton to the
acre. One would think if he saw the care
full mower posing over such meadows
that the grass was of a peculiar kind pos
sessing peculiar and valuable properties,
and that it is harvested to be sold out like
drugs by the ounce. No! the Canadian
farmer would not materially better his
condition if he were to turn his farm into
a stock ranch. A thousand acre farm
would not support respectable herd of
goats, according to the "oficial' estimate
of its productiveness.

JUDGE Black, just deceased, rebuked
with scathing force the electoral fraud''
of 1876, which placed minority candi-
date in the chair of the national executive.
He portrayed with pungent force the low
state of political morals which had obtain
ed in the conduct of politics. Men that
scorn to lie and cheat in business, would
do both in politics. In an article from
his pen which appeared in the North
American Review in 1877, he said;
Perhaps it is too much to expect that BODY
of politicians in these degenerate days should
set with scrupulous honesty like the men who
filled high stations in early times. The false
philosophy of Seneca, that all immoralities are
justified when done regnandi caltsa, gains
ground rapidly. The rules which meet with
universal observance in private affairs are set at
naught in political action. Election frauds are
practiced by men who would not cheat in a
horse trade; bogus returns are palmed off as true
by those who would scorn to pass counterfeit
money; and Christian statesmen are not ex-
pected to know that stealing the vote of state
ctmes within the prohibition of the eighth COM
mandment.

Grand Forks Items,

The natural quiet of the harvest season
has rested upon Grand Forks during the
past week. The farmers are busiIy en-
gagged in the wheat fields and will remain
there until the grain has been safely st ored
beyond the reach of autumn rains.
The storm of last week has been the
topic of conversation for some DAYS, and
much sympathy is expressed for the un-
fortunate farmer who but a week ago
looked out upon rich fields covered with
the golden yield, and who to. day could not
garner a bushel.

NOT ALL THAT FANCY PAINTS 1T

Of late years the Canadian government
alarmed at the steady and decided stream
of migration of her best farmers to the
fertile regions of North Minnesota and
Dakota, has been making strenuous efforts
to divert that stream into a different chan
nel-one lying north of the boundary line
and extending along the whole course of
the Canadian Pacific railroad. To this
end pamphlets innumerable have been
issued, in which the whole belt of country
lying west of the Red river and east of the
Rocky mountains is described as the farm
er's paradise. Pulpit orators and distin-
guished journalists have been enlisted to
further the grand work inaugurated and
supported by poetical and visionary gov

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 26.--Willie Jones, the
young man who gained notoriety through
the cowhiding administered to him by
Grace Courtland, about six weeks ago, has
been touring the state ever since, evidently
on the theory that a continued change of
location would render it an utter
impossibility for his Nemesis to repeat the
castigation. He returned to the city yes
terday, having, according to his own &C.
count, left by train at the union depot on
the memorable evening, whent he last seen
of him was pair of coat tails flying
around corzer. He says he visited Water
town, Madison, Prairie du CHEN, st. Paul,
Minneapolis, Saltwater, Sparta, La Crosse,
Portage City, Ripen, Neenah, Menasha,
Appleton, Oshkosh, Green Lake
and other places. He prides
himself on the numerous maidens
whom his arts made captive while at the
latter resort. He also asserts that he re-
tains the dude hat worn on the occasion of
his flight, and also claims to have met four
suckers who supplied the needful for his
stirring tour. The method pursued was
by means of the innocent game of poker,
at which he acted as "capper." He feels
SO much refreshed that he boasts of being
in good trim to knock the old lady out in
