EMIGRATION RAsCALITY.

Startling disclosures were brought
to light at a recent trial Of emigrant
agents in Austria. 1t was shown that
they had entered into compact with
certain steamship companies 10 furn-
iSh them with emigrant passengers to
America, and their mode Of doing it
was in this wise: Certain officers Of
the government in Gallicia were in
their pay, and these, in full uniform
would go TO "A peasants house and an
nounce that a warrant for treason had
been issued against him. A formal
looking document bearing huge seal
was then displayed. As the peasant
could not read he gained no informa-
ton regarding its contents. He was
told, however, that the punishment of
his otfensc was death, but that the
emperor would spare his life if he
would leave the country at once. This
the peasant eagerly agreed to do. AZ
ter selling all his property he was
forced to turn over the money to the
government official. Then with his
family and with some Of his unhappy
neighbors he was driven to the nearest
railway station and there loaded on
freight car and carried to the sea-
coast. Whole shiploads of wretches
were thus gathered up and taken to
America.
1t is said in the last two years fully
$1,000 people in Gallicia have been
thus robbed and driven out of CALI
cha. 1t is said most of them are landed
at New York, but that they should
pass through the immigration board at
Castle Garden without their story be-
coming known argues either shameful
incompetence on the part of the board
or that its members have some cor
rupt connection with the conspiracy

THE PAST-THE FUTURE.

The year 1889, which closed yester-
day, has been particularly satisfac-
tory one to Ottawa. 1t has been mark
ed by general prosperity throughout
the city, in all branches Of business,
and the failures of business houses
have been few and unimportant in the
way of liabilities. Our factories have
|all been running full-handed, on full
time, and their production has been
large and the profits reasonably salts
factory. The friendly relat ions which
have always been maintained between
employers and employees in Ottawa,
have obtained through the year, there
having been not the slightest evidence
.of disagreement between them dur
ing that time. Wages have been as
high as paid anywhere in the inland
towns, and no reductions have been
made except the usual reductions ac-
companying the necessary shortening
of hours in the building trades during
the winter months.
There has been no "boom" during
the year, but healthy growth in bust
ness and population, following the
growth of our manufacturing indus
tries. Ottawa has progressed, not
with a rush, on foundation of specu-
lative quicksands, but with quiet,
firm and solid tread, feeling the ground
before each new step has been taken
and building well as she has gone
along.
The city has reason to look into the
future of the coming 1890 with conf
dence. Her establishment is solid-it
needs now but enlargement and ex-
pansion. This, the FREE TRADER is
confident. will follow in due season,
by a concert OF action on the part of
property owners in the city.

OHIO SENATORSHIP.

Taking very little stock in the Re-
publican talk about the questionable
methods he is resorting to in further
ling his senatorial contest in Ohio, the
| honest judgment of the FREE TRADER,
nevertheless, is that Calvin >. Brice
ought not TO he elected. True enough,
Brice is good Democrat, and was
! liberal in his contributions to the
| Democratic campaign fund during the
Cleveland campaign, but he is a man
of moderate requirements, without
the slightest pretcntiOns to statesman
ship. all his talents running in the
way Of SpeculatiOns and money max
ing, through which he has become a
millionaire, and doubtless looks upon
an Investment in "A senatorial scramble
as he would upon an investment in
Jay Gould preferreds. What the Demo
Gratis want in the L. 5. Senate is
brains, not mOney-a man that can
speak for a great state when matters
Of great moment come up, not put up
dollars. The best Democrat Ohio has
now for the senatorship is John Nc
Mahon, though Mr.. G. f. Seney, or
either of the two Meals, would be bet
ter than Brice.
At the same time, it is not "A little
amusing to listen to the howl the Re
publiCans are setting up over the al
legged readiness Of Br'ce TO use money
to secure his election to the Ohio
Senatorship. On such "A subject they
ought in all dccency to be dumb, after
the scandalOus scenes just enacted by
that party in the two DakOtas, where
it is no secret that not only the
richest men in the territories were
chosen, but that they were in nearly
all cases railroad managers or attor-
neys backed by the money OF the
corporations they represented, as well
as their own. The truth is, that
while there are but three Democratic
members of the United States Senate
that can be called millionaires, there
are over twenty millionaireS among
the Republican members, and good
share of them hold their seats, if not
directly by purchase, like the Camerons
Of Pennsylvania, the Senators from
California, Nevada, Colorado, etc, at
least by reason Of their enormous
wealth. Anent this business of buying
senatorships, a funny story was current
about Springfield at the time Charley
Farwell was making his fight there.
Representative Baker, Of Moultrie
county, man who can give as well
as take and enjoy a joke, was badger
ing the Farwellites about their open
"bar'l," when one of them lost his
temper and wanted to fight. Empty

do you mean by that?" cried the other.
