INkY FOG ENsHRouDs CHICAGO
Much Confusion Is Caused Among Pc.
destrians and Street Cars.

Chicago, Dec. ia heavy fog OF
inky blackness enshrouded Chicago to-
day causing confusion among pedestri-
ans and seriously interfering with the
street cars and teams. The fog moved
slowly from south Chicago. Numerous
accidents were reported
Occupants Of several elevated trains
stopped by the derailing OF car were
forced to escape on foot along the
structure in the darkness to the near
est station. Total absence of wind
coincident with combination of
smoke and snow in the fog was the
cause of the extraordinary darkness.
The duration of the phenomenon was
nearly two hours.

are looking in that direction will be
interested in Il recent report by Con-
sui General Holloway. who is station
ed at Halifax. This gives some facts
regarding The immigration from the
United States into Canada. This has
been large owing to the low price of
Canadian land in the western part of
Canada. The document SAYS that all
the Canadian Pacific land has been
sold. During the year 1903 the num-
Der of entries made by people from
the United States was S.19S. and in
1903 the whole number. was 11.0Ts
The number of homesteaders in 1902
was 23.215. said TO represent 64.96s
persons. and in 1903 the homes leaders
were 32.6ss. representing 9O,455 per
sons Thus the immigration for the
last year was over 10000. These took
IA large amount Of capital from this
country To that. The character of
this immigration i of the highest
kind and is in strong contrast with
that now coming from Europe to the
United States. This country i losing
many Of its strong citizens and il
gaining many not so desirable.
Illinois contributed its share to the
entries of last year. The number Of
entries by Illinois citizens was 2j5. or
more or twice as many as the proceed
ing year. Every state in the union
furnished these entries. But who can
blame the people? They are trying to
better their condition. And we have
not yet heard any of them complain
that the government of Canada is OPP
pressive. Still ii is worth thinking of
people who have knowledge Of re-
publican institutions going out and
those ignorant OF them coming in.

which had recently been raised by the

Washington is known in history as a
providential man; that is. man raised
up by Providence to fill great place
and perform a great mission. However
this may be, he certainly had great parts
and great and peculiar fitness for the
most difficult and trying place which he
filled in history. He had had expert
ence in the previous Indian and French
wars, and had proven himself a wise.
competent and heroic officer. He had

The difficulties which encountered
Washington when he took up his great
trust as COMMUNICATIVE chief of the con-
tinental army were most complicated
and immense. The theater of the strug-
gle was a vast one, Geographically,
stretching along the Atlantic coast from
Massachusetts to South Carolina, while
the whole population was only three mill
ions-not very much greater than that
of the State of Michigan, and not so
great into a million as that of Illinois.
Out of this small, scattering and peace
full population an army was to be raised,
organized and equipped capable of con-
tending with the chief military and mari
time power of the globe. And it was
not to be a struggle between government
and government. between one nation and
another 1t was a rebellion. and there
was really no central authority, no arms
or warlike stores, no navy, no treasury
or financial system or responsibility. 1t

presence, a splendid horseman, carrying
with him ever the port and air of au-
thority and native majesty-an ideal
commander.
So when this noble Virginian appeared
before that northern army and drew his
sword as their commander under those
Cambridge elms his fame had preceded
him and he was received with shouts of
welcome and of confidence. Then all
men knew it was to be a struggle to the
death.
Hardly a better instance does history
afford of patience under provocation, OF
dogged determination under difficulties, of
unconquerable will and courage, holding
on so long and coming out triumphant at
last over such mighty opposition. These
great qualities. as we have already seen,
belonged to the man more than to the
soldier. 1t was indeed the great man
behind the soldier, the man with the
great patriotic heart, with the wise head,
and the lofty, mistaken soul, that
brought us through that long and tremen-
dous struggle and gave us our glorious
place and opportunity among the nations.
No other man on this continent but he
could have done it. Greene. among the
generals Of the revolution, would have
come nearest to it, but he would have
failed.
But in looking over the whole field and
record, in the light Of all the facts and
history. it will be seen that Washington
made no military mistakes. that he i'm
proved all his opportunities. that his
generalship will stand the test of criti-
cism. He struck whenever he had the
chance. his plans were good, and when
compelled. his retreats were mastery.
