THE DOUKHoBoRS IN CANADA.
Unpleasant Experience of the Rus
sian Refugees In Their
New Home.

A remarkable story comes from Can
ada about the Doukhobors who, after
many vicissitudeS since they were eX-
PEELED from Russia, were brought over
at the expense of the Canadian gov
eminent and sent into the northwest
to make population and raise wheat
for the maintenance of the Canadian
Pacific railway. They had hardly put
foot in the country, in a state of alb
solute poverty and dependence, when
they were beset by the ministers of
the many rival sects that abound in
Canada to join their different denom-
nations, says the New York Sun. Sat
isfied with their own simple and prac-
teal form of Christianity, they re-
PEELED all the overtures made to them,
and so came to be regarded as little
better than heather. Then petty per-
secution began. The patriotic Brit
ish immigrants and settlers in their
vicinity accused them of disloyalty for
not participating IN the rejoicing that
followed the relief of Kimberley, the
relief of Ladysmith, and other events

cusations by acts of menace and vio-
lence. They were also described as
anarchists, because they would not
work for less than customary wages,
and intlammatory literature, which
would have as much effect among
them as a lighted torch thrown into
water would have, was said to be
sown broadcast among them. A por-
ton of the French press took up the
cry and went fox them on religious
and racial grounds, and altogether
the poor Doukhobors found them
selves very much between the devil
and the deep sea. They found not
only the people among whom
they had come inhospitable, but the
climate unpropitious, and began look
ing about for some escape to more CIV
itzed and favorable surroundings.
Good fortune send some California
land agents their way, and after some
of them had been down and seen the
country. they returned and prepared
their people to migrate to the new
land of promise. But they reckoned
without taking count of the Canadian
government. The ottawa authorities
first of all sent those well-intentioned
persons who had persuaded the Douk-
hobors to take shelter under the Brit
ish flag to induce them not to leave
the sub-glacial paradise in which they
had been planted; but it was of no
avail. Then force, and of a partic-
ularly mean kind, was used. 1t was
represented to the United States agent
at Pembina on the frontier that the
Doukhobors were engaged under con-
tract to work in California, and the
road was blocked to them in that
way; and so, willy nilly. they are con-
strained to remain British subjects in
stead of becoming American citizens,
The situation as it presents itself to
their minds must suggest curious
contrast. The gates of despotic Rus
STA were opened to let them out; the
doors of a free" British colony are
barred against their departure. What
kind of loyalty they must now enter
tain toward Canada and the British
flag would be worth finding out.
