That Proposed French Exodus.

IT seems strange that anybody
warn that a general exodus of the
French Canadians back to Canada is
contemDlatcd 1t is too ridiculous on
its face. coming as it does from man
who is the travelling passenger agent
of a Canadian railroad and who pub
Hcly announces himself as the colo
nization agent for the Quebec and
Lake st. John region" His statement
that there are 100000 French Cana
dams in Maine. shows how little he
knows what he is talking about. He
makes the number about three times
as large as it is. not a bad exaggera-
ton. however. for a man who talks as
wildly as he does on other phases of
the matter.
There is not the slightest reason to
believe that the French people of
Maine are dissatisfied with their lot
and desire a change. Thousands of
them have become naturalized and
are among our best citizens. Most OF
them, except those on the Aroostook
border, are located in our manufacture
ing cities where they have steady en-
ployment in the mills, making them
prosperous and contented. They came
from Canada to better their condition
and have succeeded, and any 'coloni-
cation agent" who goes among them
urging their return to Canada is Ger
tain to get scanty encouragement. We
are confident that what is true of he
French Canadians in Maine is also
true of those in the other New Eng
land states This general exodus
will be news" to them as we'll as to
the res. of US.
The statement that the French
Canadians of Maine are denied priests
of their own tongue and are therefore
dissatisfied. is utter nonsense. III

himself or else he has been sadly mis-
quoted. Nobody will be more dis
gusted with him or laugh him 10 scorn
more quickly than the French people

America has never had such supply

United States the Economist says that
never has the American nation pos
sessed so much accumulated wealth
ready to flow into any enterprise Of
merit: never have her industries been
50 we'll able to meet competition IN the
home and in the worlds markets;
never has the production of her mines
been so great; never have her farms
produced more valuable crops of
cereals ana cotton, nor the farmers
possessed more numerous and more
valuable focks and herds; never have
to tp1n
her products and people more econom-
