THE ExILEs OF ANTIcosTI.
Hardships of Natives of the Island
Bought by the French Chocolate Man.
(Toronto Mail and Empire.)

Toronto Mail and Empire.)
The English settlers at Fox Bay, An
ticosti, have at last been evicted by NJ.
Menier. the French chocolate king, but
through the kindness of friends who
have interested themselves in their
condition they are on the way to the
prairies.
Exceedingly painful is the case Of
those English-speaking Methodists.
Their fathers settled at Fox Bay, An
ticosti, 80 years ago, on land that had
been allotted to them by the then pro-
prietors. When NJ. Menier bought the
island as a game preserve he claimed
everything and ordered the people tc
leave their homes without delay. In
his effort to drive them out NJ. MenieI
| was aided by Mr.. Tarte, who evinced
great interest in his claim. Mr.. Tarte
| defended the proposed eviction, and
took occasion in Parliament to describe
| the English Methodist settlers as
wreckers and murderers. He said they
were there to lure ships to their doom
by exhibiting false lights. This as
sault upon the character of the unfor-
tunate people awakened resentment
among English-s speaking Canadians
generally. 1t was uncalled for; it was
deliberately untrue.
During the past year, NJ. Menier has
operated through the courts, and the
| judges have reluctantly had to decide
that the settlers who could show ne
deeds were subject to removal. In the
unhappy victims the Rev. DR.. Griffith
| chairman of the Methodist district OF
| Quebec, has taken a benevolent, hui
name and fraternal interest. He sought
| to protect them, and aided them wher
their removal became a necessity. His
action has incurred the displeasure OF
the Partisan millionaire, and this gen
tleman actually sought to have him ar
| rested and transported to Bale st. Pau
| for trial on the charge of melting the
people to remain on the island and tC
resist the decision of the court. Failing
| in this, NJ. Menier is suing DR.. Griffith
| for $4,000 on the same allegation. The
suit has produced much surprise.
Meanwhile the evicted settlers, penni-
less and suffering, have reached Que
bee on their way to the West. 1t is al
| together probable that in the end the
| change will be beneficial to them and
! their children. But meanwhile the loss
of their homes, their boats, their little
| lobster factories and their fishing
| plants is a sorrowful thing for them
| They go West, not as wreckers who
lure ships and sailors to their doom
but as good and religious people who
deserve Well.
