THE FUTURE OF CANADA.

The rapid rush of Americans from this
country to take advantage of the DOmin-
ion Governments offer of fine wheat lands
In Western Canada free to actual settlers
Is attracting much attention in England
and this country. There are many specu-
la tions as to what effect this will have
upon the future of Canada. Heretofore,
the movement has been from Canada to
the United States, and 10 years ago there
were over / 100000 born in Canada who
were residing in the United States, prin-
cipally in New England and Michigan.
To these should be added many thousand
who had been induced to migrate from
Great Britain and elsewhere to Canada,
but after few years stay there found the
conditions this side the line more favor
these remained permanently in this coun-
tiy or not, they became deeply tinctured
with Americanism, and more or less
strongly attached to our ways and insti-
tutions.
Now current Of Americans has started
back into Canada, and it is estimated that
no less than 5000 American families
have settled in Manitoba, and other West.
ern provinces up to June 30 of this year.
These people are all pretty vigorous
Americans, and they have already begun
to complain that the laws and institutions
in their new homes are not as favorable
as those In their former places of residence.
1t looks very much as if these were pow
erful influences to bring about the absorp-
tion of Canada in the near future.

TIE 1srHmIAN CANAL

The negotiations with France in regard
to the Panama Canal have turned out ,un-
cxpectedly favorable, and France not only
agrees to give us a clear title, but to
guarantee us against any trouble from
future claims. This clears up something
from which We had expected much trouble
in the most satisfactory way. Now the
difficulty is with the United States of
Colombia, and its gang of greedy poll
-ticians, who will, no doubt, be inordinately
vexatious. They know nothing but un-
scrupulous greed and are not bound by the
ordinary laws of international intercourse.
The honor of the country is nothing to
them, when there is a chance to fill their
pockets. At present there are two rival
cabals of spoils-seekers trying to gain the
mastery, and what one may do may be
repudiated by the other. To complicate
matters still further, it takes fully six
weeks to communicate. with Bogota.
Therefore, officials of the State Depart
ment are not sanguine that they can get
n treaty ready for ratification before the
adjournment March 4. If this should hap
pen it will delay the commencement of
work on the canal until after the meeting
of Congress in December, 1903 Probably
the lobbyists Of the Pacific Railroads see
what an opportunity there is to get in eff
fective work at Bogota, and will strive to
make sure that no agreement is reached
this Winter. Every year that they can de-
lay the completion of the canal means
many million dollars to the Pacific rail-
roads and higher rates for the people of
the United States. tt a-...s.r

PERSONAL.

George A. ThurstOn, 43d Ohio. has been
married a second time to his wife, whom
he left over 40 years ago to enter the
Union army. At the time of his enlist
ment, Comrade Thurston and his family
were living at Canton, Ohio. Soon after
reaching the front he was wounded and
left for dead ON a Southern battlefield.
After two years in Southern prisons and
hospitals, he returned to Canton, to find
that his wife and children had left. For
several years he kept up an unsuccessful
quest for his family, but finding no trace
Of them, he concluded that his wife was
dead. and remarked. His second wife died
in 1898. Mrs. Thurston had an expert
ence very similar-tO that of her husband.
After a weary search, lasting many
months, she became convinced that her
husband had been killed. She, too, mar
ried second time, her husband dying
about II years ago. A short time ago,
Comrade Thurston learned that his wife
was residing at La Crosse Further in

pie, and few days ago they found that

PALsIFYING HISTORY.

The telegraphic report of the session of
the Grand Camp of Confederate Veterans,
of Virginia, at Wytheville, Va, says:
"The feature Of today's session of the
Grand Camp was the report of the His
tory Committee, made through its Chair
man, Judge George J.. Christian, of Rich
mond. The report contrasts the treat
ment of Southern soldiers in Northern pri-
sons with that Of Federal soldiers in Con-
federate prisons, and severely arraigns the
Federal Government for its failure to re-
spond to the constant advances of the
South TO facilitate exchange of prisoners.
'It recites as fact that the Confeder-
ate Congress passed a law that the Fed
eral soldiers in Southern prisons should he
treated as We're the soldiers in the armies
of the Confederacy. and that the hospitals
for Northern prisoners should be con-
Quoted as were the hospitals for COnfed-
crates. Continuing, it charges Gen. Grant
with having contended that a general ex-
change of prisoners would mean that the
South would fight to determination, and
that he would rather see Northern soldiers
die in Southern prisons than to release
Confederate prisoners who would recruit
the army Of Lee. The report was unani-
mously adopted, and was literally ap-
plauded throughout"
This is an outrageous Justification of his

crime in the history of the sO-called Soutn-
ern Confederacy. 1t repeats stale old lies
which have oftentimes been conclusively
refuted.
No matter what laws were or were not
passed by the Confederate Congress, the
fact remains that something like 10000
Union soldiers were starved to death in
rebel prisons, and this. too, in land

1T MAY be little mean, but, after all,
there is some satisfaction in seeing these
magnates of finance make the same blum
ders that ordinary men do. For example,
the Atlantic Insurance Company built a
20-story structure in New York, and was
offered piece of land for 5000, 900. which
would secure it against any interference
with the light and air on the south side.
1t thought itself secure, however. and re-
fused the offer. A little later, bank
bonght the plot and filed plans for an i'm
mense structure of its own. The insurance
company, in its alarm, tried at once to
buy the plot, and finally succeeded in get
ting it at s1,O00,OO0. or 100000 moro
than the original offer, the penalty for its
failure to exercise ordinary business fore
sight.
