WESTERN CANADA'S DgCEN-
BER WEATHER EQUAL TO
THAT OF MAY IN MIN
NESOTA.
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
Thomas Regan and c. Collins, OF
Eden Valley, Minnesota, went out to
Western Canada last December as dele.
gates, to look over the grazing and
grain lands that are being offered at
such low prices and reasonable terms.
This Is what they say:
"Wearrived in Calgary about the 20 tn
December and although we had left
winter in Minnesota and Manitoba,
we were surprised to find beautiful
warm weather ut this point, quite equal
to what we have In May in Minnesota.
There was no snow nor trace of winter
to be seen, and the climate was really
splendid. Horses, cattle and sheep
were running out, in prime condition,
with plenty Of feed on the prairie, and
really better than that of ours stabbed
in the sooth. We are impressed with
this country as one of the finest mixed
farming countries we have ever seen.
The immense tracts of fertile lands,
well sheltered and abundantly wa
tered, leave nothing to be desired.
Leaving Alberta we returned east
and visited the Yorkton district in
Assiniboia. We drove out about ten
miles at this point and were highly
pleased with the splendid samples OF
grain we were able to see, wheat yield
ing 25 bushels. oats GO bushels. Roots
were also good specimens. From what
we have seen, we have decided to
throw in our lot with the Yorktoners
satisfied that this part of the coun'
try will furnish good opportunities
for anyone anxious TO make the best
OF n really good country. Any agent
OF the Canadian Government, whose
advertisement appears elsewhere in
the columns of your paper will give
you full particulars OF the new dis
tricts being opened out this year in
Assiniboia and Saskatchewan.
Yours truly,
OLD READER.

LINCOLN'S
Immense Amount of Labor REQUIRED
to Write History.

Boston Transcript.
The story of the life of the late John
G. Nicolay, of Washington, who died a
day or two ago. brings out very clearly
the amount of time and labor required in
the preparation and composition of a his
torical work of the first order and the high
est authority on the subject it treats. Mr..
Nicolay elaborated with John Hay in the
composition of their Life of Abraham
Lincoln" a work of research
which bids fair to be the last word on the
career of that great President. Both were
secretaries of Lincoln when they conceived
the plan Of writing his life. This plan met
with his approval and encouragement and
he placed some material at their disposal.
1t was not until three years after his death,
however, that Messrs. Hay and Nicolay be-
gan TO block out their work.
In 1874 they had collected enough material
to begin the task of the literary COMPOST
ton, each writing about half of the orig
mai letter press. Not until 1856 did their
work see the light, being published as a
serial in the Century, where it ran four
years. In 1890 1t was printed in ten VOL
umes, which Included much matter not
given in the serial publication. Thus count
ing from the inception of the plan. TWENTY
SIX years passed ere the work was printed
in its final form. OF course, all this time
Messrs. Hay and Nicolay were engaged or
other tasks as well, but the life of lincoln
was never entirely put by They were.

to destroy, the Tribune was actually weak
enough to cry aloud that the executive chief
of this democratic Republic must hence
forth be defended by a personal bodyguard,
with drawn swords and fixed bayonets.
Something Of this sort had been suggested
to General Grant, sixteen years earlier, in
April, 1866, just when the assassination of
President Lincoln and the assault on Sec
rotary Seward We're causing people TO dread
lest the conquered rebels had plotted to
bring confusion upon their victorious gov
eminent by a general slaughter of it's lead
ers. He was cautioned against going about
the streets of Washington, in his custom
airy simple manner, as needfessly exposing
to peril what then seemed the most valu-
able life in America. Grant told my friend
that he realized the possible peril. but that
he also realized, and so assured his advis-
ers, that it was a necessity Of his position,
and that ii would only be intensified by
any action of his which gave public token
or recognizing Ii. If political plotters or
private fanatics have really determined to
Kill me-" said Grant, there is no certain
way of preventing them. But the best way
of discouraging them is to go about my
usual business in my usual manner If L
thus show my belief that this government
does not depend for perpetuity upon any
single life, L shall help recall that truth
10 mighty minds which may temporarily
have forgotten it," The sturdy wisdom Of
this decision endears Grants memory to
me quite as much as any saying l recall
as accredited to him., for ii shows what a
really genuine American he was. and how
thoroughly he appreciated-in spite of his
incapacity to avoid rudimentary blunders
in political administration-the ultimate
idea on which the greatness of this Nation
rests. People to whom L have mentioned
the incident have sometimes praised it's
courage" but l do not consider that its
important feature. Grants courage was
predicated on the fact of his willingness to
become the foremost figure in a successful
war; but. when this fact made him also a
supremely attractive target for the assas-
the manner i'm which he faced such a
chance had its chief significance in prov
ing his downright sagacity and good sense.

SCHLEY rs THE ACCUSED"
a Sharp Criticism of the Government
Representatives.

Washington Post.
We see that Admiral Schley has aban-
dOned the attempt to keep Judge Advo-
cate Lernly and his understrapper, Hanna,
In order. When Lemly, on the opening
day of the Investigation, referred to Ad-
miral Schley as "the accused" the presi-
dent of the court very properly and very
courteously corrected him. 1t is worthy
of note, however, that when Hanna forgot
himself in the same way on Friday, Ad-
miral Dewey let it pass without COM
ment.
Surely there is a certain significance in
this fact-the fact that, after only five or
six sessions, the court recognizes the de-
partment officials, Lemly and Hanna, as
prosecutors and Schley as 1.-The accused"
1t is evident hat the gentlemen consti-
tuting the tribunal do not personally take
this view Of the matter. On the contrary,
they nave used every effort to keep Lemly
and Hanna within the bounds of decency.
The attitude of the department, however,
Is unmiStakable, and doubtless the men,
bers or the court have given up all hope
of changing it. OF course, this ingenious
display of hostile animus does not disturb
Schley or his well-wishers. 1t merely dis
gusts lovers of justice and good breeding
and confirms the country in its contempt
Tor the Navy Department as ii is ordered
and inspired to-day. 1t shows that the
department, ctuated by the Sampson
ring, is not engaged in an honest and i'm
partial search for facts, but is d~evoting
all its energies-so far as those energies
are represented by Lemly and Hanna-to
the discovery of material for the injury
OF Schley. Every query thus far put by
either OF the departments attorneys has
been directed to that end. Not a single
query has been directed to the develop
ment of an abstract truth.
We do not recall in the history of our
military establishment a more sinister
spectacle than has been presented during
the past three years by the Sampson
rings persecution of Admiral Schley. The
activities of that ring are not as formid-
able at present as they were in the past.
Until quite recently they had the aid and
cOuntenance and encouragement of the
pursued under the inspiration of three
falr-mlnded gentlemen. Until the court
assembled, every one who wished to
throw a stone at Schley, whether through
a newspaper, or a magazine, or a history,
could count upon powerful support in the
very highest quarters. Since then the
Sampson henchmen have had TO be more
careful with their speech. The contro-
versy has been referred to honorable aus
pices. But the bitter animus is there, not
wlthstanding, and it reveals itself at ev-
cry turn. No dispassionate person who
devotes even one day to a careful obser-
walton of Lemly and Hanna will fail TO
realze their eager, active, and deter
mined partsanship, or to conclude that
the department is conducting a prosecu-
ton in the most rancorous and v~engeful
meaning OF the term.
Let ii stand, then, as Lemly and Hanna
nave insisted. Schley is 'the accused
and they, are, the departments special at
well TO have these little matters under
stood.
