The people of Philadelphia are in a
state of mind over the doings of the
police of that city. Under the infiu-
ence Of spasm of virtue the guardians
OF the peace undertook to clear the
streets of Objectionable characters, and
IN doing so laid their hands upon and
locked up several respectable women
on business or pleasure bent after
nlghtfall, and as result some serious
discussions are going on as to where
the woman's right ends and where tn at

THE chancellor of the German lega-
ton in Washington is puzzled. He can
not understand why persons who view
with equanimity the displays of wear
for both the masculine and feminine
form in the store windows at the capi-

of the same class of goods displayed
upon a line in the parking in front of
his residence. There seems, however,
to be differences of opinion as to where
the line should be drawn

RUSHING FOR THE LAND.

One of the chief explanations Of the
increasing popularity of the northwest
of this continent for farming operations
is the diversity of country which it
offers. Nature has SO fashioned it that
every branch of farming in the temper
ate zone has been provided with a To-
cality. And the extent of country adapt
ed to agriculture is revelation to those
who not many years ago thought that
Minnesota was the boundary Of agricul-
tural land and that wheat-growing was
doubtful even IN Minnesota Beyond
Minnesota, across the boundary, the
Canadian territories of Manitoba, ASSN
iboia, Alberta and Saskatchewan are
claiming pre-eminence in wheat. in cat
tie raising, and in mixed farming.
Manitoba this year has outstripped the
rest of the world in the quantity and

quality of her harvest. Assiniboia,
though more sparsely settled, makes a
proportionately good showing, and AL
berta is not only increasing the number
and quality of the beeves shipped to
Europe, but is importing young steers
from the East to be fattened on the rich
grasses of the country, which ripen
early and remain juicy and sustaining
throughout the moderate winter of
those plateaux. Now new and extern
sive area has been thrown open to
demonstrating. Two railways have
been recently opened into the Saskatch-
evan country, and those who have been
farming in the neighbOrhOod of the old
HudsOn's Bay posts claim, and appar-
emily with some justice, that their coun-
try surpasses even Manitoba and east
ern Assiniboia; that it is the garden of
the Northwest. 1t is no wonder that
Eastern Canadians are selling out to
take advantage of the free land to be
obtained in these rich districts. The
investigating parties that have been
sent to spy out the land have reported
SO favorably upon it, that the desire to
obtain a homestead in the Western Can
adam Provinces is spreading far beyond
the limits of Canada itself. There are
a number of delegates in the west pre-
pairing the way for com panies of intend
ing immigrants who will move in the
spring, and it is becoming more and
more evident that Canada west of Lake
Superior is becoming the heart of the
Dominion, and that Winnipeg. though
not the official capital, will be the most
important city.

impossible to launch her boats, even
had she had enough to carry all hands on
board. When she went down she car
