The greatest migration that history
has recorded is that of the European
races during the century now closing.
lJp to 1920 only about 250,000 foreign
ers moved to the United States, which
has many fold surpassed all the rest
of America in accessions to its popu-
lation through immigration; but be-
tween 1920 and 1882 more than IT,
100000 Europeans left their homes
for the Americas and other parts Of
the new world.

The latest returns Of the British
Board of Agriculture show that the
farmers of the United Kingdom are
suffering heavily from the competi-
ton Of other nations. Their products
do not fetch remuneratire prices in
their home markets. Importations of
wheat. butter, eggs, game and similar
yrticlcs are large, because these artl-
cles are sold more cheaply than the
British farmer can produce them,
while the important item Of meat is
now brought into the country At the
ration of 230O tons a day. Nor does
it help the British farmer that SO
many OF his former employees have
gone to the war, and thus rendered
labor scarce.

right to make rash statements not
founded on fact.
"Dr. Lansing tells about the alleged

From the evidence, heard yesterday
by the court on rules to show cause
why certain hotel licenses should not
be revoked, it is more than probabl
that a number of hotel men of the city
will have their licenses taken from
them for selling on Sunday. Most of
the testimony in all the cases, except
one, was offered by the agents of the
Mems union.
One of the rules heard was directed
against Edward j. Jifkins. the pro-

one of the most fortunate things this
community has ever experienced.
The boys at the Diamond are suf-
fering a relapse of the strike fever.
Yesterday the foreman gathered a lot
of runners, drivers and the larger slate
picllers to reinforce the company hands
in cleaning up and making repairs.
On entering the mine they found them
selves in charge of driver boss who
had worked all during the strike at
the washery and forthwith the whole
crowd quit. During the afternoon the
driver boss was elevated to the posi-
ton of general superintendent. so as
to put him outside the pale of MEM

was communicated to the re-strilkers
they agreed that ethics had been so

leaves our shores as ! missionary

| leaves our shores as a missionary
enterprise, but which, in the
course of time, degeneratAs into
an association of adventures
whose ruling motive is simply
avarice and political ambition.
Some years ago we sent a little
community of missionaries out to
the Sandwich islands. They were
supported there by the hard
earned pennies Of the Sabbath
school children of this country,
During their lifetime they did
much good for the cause of Christ
and his Kingdom. But when they
went off to heaven, they left a
consanguineous progeny behind
them who declined to walk in
their footsteps; but conspiring
with trust kings and demagogues,
of this country, they laid hands
upon the rightful sovereign of the
islands, dragged her down from
her throne, robbed her of her rev.
enues, and consigned her to life
of humiliation and neglect.
The Boxers say that the mis-
sionaries over there have, with Sc
cular fingers, been meddling with
secular things just little, a, thing
which Paul never allowed himself
to do. How all that is, we have
no means of exactly knowing; but
if the charge made by these heath
ems have any foundation; if it be
true that our China missions have
allowed themselves to become
tainted with the filibuster spirit;
then, in that great bsrbaric empire
there is an end 10 everything like
apostolic triumph of the gospel.
1t is useless to try to evangelize a
heather whose confidence we have
forfeited; the only thing that can
be done with him is TO exterminate
him as was done with the Ameri-
can Indian, and then plant the
Christian cross, like the Moham-
medan crescent, in human blood.
