IN THE HOUSE.

The Superintendent of Public Works
reported to the House the claim oi
the American Hawaiian Steamship
Company for 5000 overcharge for pilot
age. The overcharge alleged was caus-
ed by the fact that the ships were
charged as cargo steamers, instead OF
mall ships.

office that the rule of the Department
was that none but citizen labor be en-
ployed on public works, but that In

CANADIAN IMMIGRATION.

- OR many year past the Canadians have been
lamenting that the tide OF migration was against
them that the number OF immigrants who en-
tered their country did make up for the loss of
those who left Canada for the United States The tide
has now turned Canada is getting considerable in
crease OF population from this country but still all
Canadians happy. Some indeed, are boasting
that the Dominion is drawing the best breed OF
Americans to her northwest provinces but others are
lamenting immigration which they fearfully think
will overwhem the British stock and give to Canada
a population widely different from that which now
dominates the country.
The Victoria Colonist takes sanguine view of the
flow Of the tide. After pointing out that for some
years the flow OF Canadian emigration to the United
States about 10000 annually and that in 1900 there
oSoo3S Canadians settled in the United States it
says: I'm 1893 5000 people emigrated from the
United States and settled in the Canadian Northwest
in 1899 1900 in $1,000 1901 10000 and in 1902
over $4,000 So that in the direct relations between
Canada and the United States the balance oil trade has
altered the OF $4,000 people year in favor OF
Canada. debit balance OF 10000 has been turned
into credit balance Of $4,000 people This is verv
gratifying and the so the population migra-
ting from the United States to Canada is of the best
type"
1t is not to be denied that our Canadian con-
temporary has good reason to rejoice over the i'm
migration that is settling the rich lands OF the
Canadian Northwest. We would be glad to have
those vigorous and enterprising home-seekers
turn their eyes to California where we can supplv
them with better homes than Canada can ever give
them. Still there is another side to the Canadian
immigration question, and there are Canadians who
think il the more important Of the two. 1t is one
that threatens the supremacy of the British stock
among the elements OF the population and according
ly there are gloomy views taken of it by the con-
serYativcs.
A presentation of that side OF the question
says: The figures of the recent census show that
the immigration from the United Kingdom into the
Dominion does not suffice supply the loss by
