CANADA's DEBT AND DISTRESS.

In the last twenty years Canada's g
public debt has increased three times
the amount of what it was in 1869.
To-day it is S2S4,512,S42. OF course
much of this is due to the construc-
ton Of public works, notably the
great transcontinental railway.
But such a burden for a population
OF only 4,S72, l0l-less than the num-
ber i'm New York state to-day-is
oppressive to the thought. That 1t
is a most serious matter to the Dom
inion is apparent through the revela-
ton of the party press of Canada,
not to mention the unmistakable
signs Of distress which attend trade
and business generally. The large
number OF people who annually
leave the Dominion to settle in the
United States tells the story of supe-
rior advantages and prosperity here.
Emigration from the United States
to Canada is an almost unheard Of
movement on the part OF anybody
in order to improve his circum-
stances. The FL Dorado of this con-
tinent is precisely the region now
owned by the Western Republic.

wOMEN,s RIGHTS.

In the Oklahoma Territorial Con-
vention at Guthrie, /. r., OH the 2lst
inst, there was spirited debate on
the woman suffrage question. A
proposition to give women the tal-
lot provoked II lively discussion.
Mayor Stockslager, Of East Guthrie,
asserted that ninety-five per cent. OF
the disreputable element of East
Guthrie availed themselves of the
ballot, and only five per cent. of the
respectable women voted or wanted
to vote. The Rev. Mr.. Monnar,
who presided, understood the allu-
sion az referring to the ladies of the
w. G. II. u, and he replied in a
vigorous refutation Of the assertion,
after which the convention adjourn
ed. On the 22d inst. the question
again came up, and after n sharp de-
bate it was voted to submit the ques-
ton to the people (?) as separate
proposition. The Legislature is to be
elected October 22d, and at the same
time territorial and county officers
will be chosen.
