Some interesting figures regarding the
volume of Immigration into this country
have just been published in report by the
Immigration Bureau. 1t appears that the
arrivals at Canadian ports from European
countries en- route for the United States by
calendar years were, according TO these
statistics as follows: 1855, 25,o2T; 1856.
3,429, 1897, 81 ,o53 1888. s5,Tos; 1889,
81 sep; 1880, loS,s54. 1891, l05,2l3.
These figures still leave out of the account
the arrivals of Canadian immi-
grants Ia this country and
simply enable students of the subject, by
adding the figures just given to those re-
ported for ports in the United States, to
reach the correct immigration from Europe
to this country. The reported arrivals at
United States ports in 1890 were l55 ,3o2, in
1891 they were 56o.3i9, and in is92. $685.
0st. If the returns for calendar years
furnished by the Canadian government rep
resented fiscal years, the total European
immigration would be s~elied for the last
three years to about 500 900 for 1890, 665,-
900 for 1891, and $780, 900 for is9a.

The political crisis in hungary has hap
pill, passed and has resulted in choice of
Dir. Alexander Wekerel rs pr me minister,
who is said Ia bc the strongest man in Hun
garian public life. having beea for many
years the minister of finance. He is how
ever German of plebeian origin, having
no influential family connections. aud has
worked his way up TO his present high po-
sition by sheer force of ability and indus
try. That such a man should attain the
practical leadership of the Hungarian ma
ton not only without word of protest. but
with almost universal approval from the
high magnates and mobiles, is creditable
alike to him and them. 1t is token of
good for liberalism, patriotism and sound
sense in the Hungarian mind. and shows
that occasionally in other countries than our
own there is chance for men to rise from
the lowest to the highest ranks of life and
human activity.

One Of the worst ear famines ever known
in the history of Western transportation,
exists now in some of the Western states.
The elevators and grain houses on many of
the great trunk lines of roads are full to their
roofs, and many of them, even, are loaded
beyond their safe capacity. Thousands of
bushels Of wheat are hauled to the market
and hauled back again or left standing in
wagons. Grain has been rolling into the
markets at a most rapid rate until the entire
rolling stock and motive power of the rail
rotds has been found entirely unable to
meet the heavy demands made upon them.
There is little hope for the future and the
wheat in store is sufficient to oceupy all the
cars that can be furnished for months while
thousands of bushels of grain still remain
to be threshed and marketed.
