DEFENDING ON THE UNITED STATES


The feeling that Canada cannot live
without the American market, and that
her future depends upon the fiscal policy
Of the United States, is rapidly gaining
ground in the Dominion. Perhaps nothing
has been so great a factor in producing
this sentiment as the loss Of population.
For more than ten years the more ambi-
tiouS of the young Canadians have no
sooner received their education than they
have made break for the United States
to utilize their talents. This country is
reaping the reward and the Dominion has
paid the preparatory expense
But this is not the only exodus disturb
ing the peace of the Dominion leaders
The recent census figures show that the
Mckinley law has been effective in in
CreaSing the anxiety Of the Canadians to
leave for a country where there is a hope
for liberal increase of prosperity The
crop of Canadians that is being gathered
this year by the United States is unusually
large-sO large that the Dominion author
tiles have become alarmed over the situa-
ton. The problem of keeping even the nat
ural increase of the population at home is
a serious question for the Canadian Gov
ernment TO consider. That its solution
depends, in great measure, upon the en-
colIragement or Encouragement Of the in
dustrieS of the United States is powerful
argument in favor of our present fiscal
policy The evidence is conclusive that no
change is necessary for the extension of
our prosperity, however much the popula-
ti2n of Canada may be affected.

POWERS OF THE MAHATMAs.
They VIII Not Be Put to a Test in London
at Present.
London Spectator. )

London Spectator
The powers of the Mahatmas are not to be
put to the test in London. Colonel Des-
mond has been informed, on behalf of his
spiritual superiors, that his acceptance of
Mr.. Stuart Cumberlands challenge cannot
be allowed, and has accordingly withdrawn
his offer to stake $1,000 The withdrawal
does not, of course, prove anything, as any
religious teacher would refuse to produce
sample miracles, or to allow faith in his
claims to be affected by the result Of bet.
As, however, the very existence of Mahat-
mas is questioned, it would seem e1pedient
for one OF those highly venerated persons of
his own accord to prove it in some unmis-
taxable way.
Otherwise, the discredit falling on his dis
ciples for bringing no evidence of so card
inal fact must be reflected also on his
creed, which cannot on any theory be his
desire. The credulity of the Theosophists
is ANA zing, but brings on them an obloquy
whice they do not quite deserve, for, after
oil, it is less absurd to believe in the spirit
ual greatness of an invisible teacher than in
the spiritual greatness of a visible man like
Harris. The readiness to believe i'll any
thing, visible or invisible, provided only it
be not Christianity, is a curious sign of the
times. A clergyman of the Church of Eng
land, we see, has just profeSsed himself
Mahommedan in Liverpool.
