Canada Claims the North Pole.

From the Toronto Globe.
We are meeting with the usual difficulties
which follow policy of expansion. 1t has
always been supposed that Canada was the
proprietor OF the north pole. and that we
could have the article whenever we chose
to call for it. But no sooner do we pro
pose to go and bring that pole home than
claims are made by other countries which
taper off In that direction, and 1t is said
rsow that we are entitled TO only one-quarter
of the pole. We are strongly opposed to
jingoism, but there are some things we are
not prepared to stand, and we give due no
tice that we will wade knee-deep in ink
hsfore will give up any part of this
brthright Of every Canadian.

A Plea for Tramps.


From the Boston Advertiser.
1t is generally supposed that there IS
nothing to be said in favor of the ordi-
nary Massachusetts tramp. This Is a mis-
take. An agent Of a firm which is in the
business of ating Massachusetts seem
cry with staring sign boards, in prais-
of the potency of patent pills says that
tramps use many of these signs for fire
wood. Ii seems. therefore, that even the
world. Still. 1t must be admitted that the
tramp is more of a curse than blessing
to Massachusetts. His depredations are not
confined to gaudy patent medicine sign
boards. OF all the criminal deeds reported
from the interior of the state during the
present winter a large share must be at
trbuted to tramps. Until this class of
criminals Is treated as such in law and
made to work hard for board and lodging
Massachusetts towns and cities will con-
tinue to suffer from the tramp pest.

A Stationary Quantity.


They tell us trusts are making life
A great deal more expensive;
That's why this vale of tears and strife
Seems dark and apprehensive.
And men with wealth at making more
Each day grow still more clever.
But let's restrain our feelings sore
Since talk is cheap as ever.
That consolation fingers still,
Though coal and beef go higher,
And other prices rise until
They quite exhaust the buyer.
Our friend the orator will cling
Close to his kind endeavor,
And prove, to sooth our sorrowing,
That talk Is cheap as ever.

The Greer also includes three new freight

whole field is in state of excitement and
serious trouble is feared. Already two
or three conflicts have occurred between
the striking miners and the guards
which have been placed on the works
by the operators. The trouble has
grown out Of the non-recognition of the
union by the operators. The operators
declare they will not recognize the union
and the miners are equally as persistent
in demanding that they shall be recog-
nized. The trouble did not assume a crit
ical stage until within the last few days
when, it is alleged. two of the miners
