to endorse this private corporations
bonds for 800, ,O00, 900.
Europe is now having her share of
railroad caJastrophes, mine disasters,
terrible ship collisions, fearful thun-
der storms, excessive rains, blasted
crops and other misfortunes. We have
had all those things in more than am
pie abundance, and there is no room
for the hope or belief that the future
is likely TO be any less liable TO them
than the past.

Missouri's peach crop last year was
estimated at $4,000, 600 This year it
is larger, and judging from the activi-
ty of the fruit-growers, the state in a
few years viii rank first as a peach
producer. What is known as the
Ozark belt in southwestern Missouri
Is particularly favorable to the growth
of this fruit. The rolling plateaus
possesses a rich red soil; they are free
from winds and are blessed with
abundance of rain. Last year over
three millions OF trees were set out
covering an area of twenty thousand
acres. Il still greater number of trees
viii be planted this year.

1t is announced that the census re
turns for Canada show total popula-
ton that borders closely on 6 200, 600.
The increase is not spread evenly over
the Dominion however. Prince Ed
ward Island, the province of Quebec
and New Brunswick will, it is said show
an actual decrease. Ontario, Nova
Scotia, Manitoba, British Columbia
and the territories of the Northwest
are the sections that have increased
in population. As in the United States
the cities have increased largely at
the expense Of the country. Canada's
growth in wealth and population dur
ing the past decade has been consid-
erable; but it is far below what it
would have been if our northern cous-
ins had taken their natural and right
full place as citizens OF the great re-
public of the United States.
The Hanover murder is d fearful les
son to New England farmers to be
more careful as to whom they admit
into their homes in the capacity of
farm help. We hope the lesson will
sink deep into every mind. AS to
Almy himself, it is well said that he
killed an innocent girl; killed her
without provOcatiOn, and for no
cause save that she was so far his su-
perior that he could not drag her down
to his level, and determined to put her
out OF existence. This IS the spirit of
the incarnate evil. 1t hates the good
because it is good. II destroys honor,
truth and virtue whenever they can
be found. No sympathy should be
given to such a man" Now let no
more such crimes be made possible on
New England farms by the careless
ness of their Occupants.-W Watchnaan.
There was much dispute about the
accuracy of our reports of immigra-
tiOn from British North America and
the Dominion officials especially in
sisted that there could not be any such
immigration from their country to the
United States as our returns show.
But the Dominion census itself seems
to prove that our figures were well
