Canada and International Copyright.

OTTAWA, Ont, Dec. 27.-Sir John Thomp-
son says that the Canadian government
has received no communication from the
British Columbia Office on the subject Of
the copyright question, except the trans
mission of the views Of the society Of auth
ors already published. Lord kruitsford IS
Of the opinion that Canada has not the
power 10 legislate on foreign copyright,
and it has not been agreed 10 confer the
power on her. Sir John Thompson, how
ever, has good reasons for believing that
during the present and the next session of
the imperial parliament, legislation con-
ferring the power viii be placed. He is of
the opinion that the passing Of Simond's
copyright bill would not affect the Cana
dian question, as that measure gives Brit
ish authors a domestic copyright IN the
United States on conditions that the work
in the United States is reset with Aneri-
can type and bound in the United States.
An order in council was passed by the
Canadian government some time ago, ask
ing the colonial Office TO withdraw Cana
da from the Bernie copyright convention.

THE NEW HAIL INSURANCE CO.,
The MINI. Alliance Storm Associ-


ation.''
The general dissatisfaction which
exists in reference to the manage
ment of the Austin Hail Insurance :.
Co., accompanied with their practi-
cal refusal to put their books under
the inspection of the State Alliance,
led to the formation of a new Al
lance Hail and Storm Insurance
Company on Monday OF this week,
with the above title. Eighty men,
bers OF the Alliance, representing
every part of the state, were consult
ed, as opportunity offered, many by
letter, and call was issued by Mr..
Donnelly. 1t was in the midst of the :
seeding season, but eighteen repre-
sentative men attended at the Clar-
endon Hotel, and 60 sent in their ap-
probation and willingness to serve
in any capacity to advance the gen.
eral interests.
The names OF officers and directors
will be found in another column, lin
the advertisement, over half of the
Board OF Directors beng members of
the Executive Committee.
This is q wise move. The incorpor-
ators and Directors are every one
OF them farmers, whereas the Austin
Company was rank with lawyers,
bankers, professional politicians, and
such enemies of the alliance as G.. l..
Smith. The Directors OF the present
organization are scattered widely
over the state, there being a feeling
that the localizing of state institu-
tion in one neighborhood would not
be judicious.
Pres't Lister is a staunch farmer
of Lac qui Parle, (Co. and P. o.,
one who is unfiinching in upholding:
the integrity of the alliance.
Mr.. Eckford, the recently elected
Insurance superintendent, is the Sec
retary. He has resigned his Office of
Superlntendency, a notable contrast
with some oficeholders in these pip
ing times of ambition. Mr.. Eckford
is already Secretary of strong
County Mutual, a thorough business
man and accOuntant-andi is pecul-
iarly fitted for the work-the best
man in the state.
The office will be at 75S Wabasha
Street, in the publication office of the
GREAT WEST. Mr.. Eckford will move
to St. Paul at once.

The farmers may suppose that
they have had the quotations on our
wheats in Liverpool in the cable re-
ports in the daily press. Well, you
haven't. We say that the cable re-
ports Of the price of wheat are false.
They are purposelyso. Wewill wager
one thousand dollars that not one
solitary bushel OF california Spot
has been sold as low as rs. "a, in
Liverpool. But that is this morn
ing's quotation in the daily papers.
We have waited for nearly two
months now, to see what the so or
more country editors who are back
ing up the rings in the country press
would say about our wheat revela-
tions What they say! Say? The
low-lived beggar-cowards, snouping
at the feet OF their millionaire mas
ters.what can they say? What can
any dog say to his master-but lick
his hand and whine for crumbs.
The quotations OF American wheat
in the cable reports are frauds-and
the men who send them are in league
with the devil and the wheat ring.
Bierbohm is the man who furnishes
the figures-and we accuse him flat
footed of lying like a pirate IN regard
to the price OF American wheat in
Liverpool. There is a monstrous
fraud being perpetrated against the
northwestern farmer, and the ten
tacles of the thieving gang reach
from Bismarck, Dakota, to Mysore in
India.
And yet the servile press, who
crouch like lckspittle minions to
take their cue from their party mas
ters don't DARE to publish the facts
which we have given. There is more
moral leprosy in some OF these news
paper Offices than in the lazar houses
of crime-and the sooner the farmers
fire out about fifty editors from this
state the sooner Justice will discover
herself
Within the next 60 days some
prominent wheat and mill men will
go to Europe to investigate the
markell What for? Do you sup
pose that the same agency that can
suppress market quotations IN the
daily papers, or get the U. S. govern:
ment to falsity in their official
publications about the ocean freight
to Europe, will go to Europe for any
legitimate purpose? No sir! Nc
sir! The GREAT WEST is the cause
of this rumpus-and you farmers
may bet your last sesterci that it
means no good to you.

There will soon be something else
dropped" regarding that bogus LIST
Dist. Alliance, which passed resolu-
tions denouncing the GREAT WEST
and endorsing Sprague and Furlong.
We deny that delegates we're sent
thereto even from the County in
which the fraud was perpetratedl
keenan, and Furlong throw the
odium of passing the wretched reso-
lutions upon Mr.. Sprague. Wait un-
til the other alliances in that county
get a whack at the thing!

What is the reason millions go
hungry, and go half-clad, and are
poorly sheltered, often with the roof
of charity?
Why, don't you know? The rea-
son is obvious. There is too much
food raised. There are too many
clothes produced. There is an over
production-anybody could see this I!
People go hungry on account OF the
abundance OF grain!

Next week we will give a full re-

the age in the line of labor agita-
tion. 1t is called Caesars Column
To say that it is creating sensa-

read it. we do want every alliance in
