RUSH OF HINpoos INTO CANADA
A Curious Movement Within the Brit
ish Empirs.

ish Empirs.
A novel but energetic immigration
into the Dominion of Canada is in
progress, which appears likely to ds-
sumo large proportions, says the Pail
Mall Gazette 1t is difficult to think of
Hindoos and of British Columbia in
the same moment, but coolies are go
ing from India to that western section
of Canada in steadily increasing num-
bers. This strange movement of popu-
lation appears to bring the incongru-
Gus into juxtaposition, for between
the newcomers and the colonials of
that region, or any other part of the
Dominion, there is absolutely no affin-
ity or sympathy. Already the drift
from India to western Canada is ex
citing symptoms of dissatisfaction
Some of the colonial critics say that
the incoming Hindoos are not desir-
able immigrants, or they are physical
ly weak and therefore not stalwart
enough for life in land with climatic
conditions altogether like those of
full in any of the arts of life, and the
majority are inclined to Incidence.
Canada gives abundant elbow room
for new settlers in every provir ce,
but these Hindoos persist in budding
in overcrowded tenements, to the in
tense annoyments of the citizens of
townships in British Columbia. They
also are greatly hampered by the
caste system that they bring with
them. Such is the state of things ac-
cording to the critics in British Ca
lumbia and in the region of the Sci.
kinks.
These new settlers, however, are
not without advocates. By some of the
Canadians here and there they have
been welcomed as valuable auxiliaries
In certain spheres of industry. 1t is
asserted that large proportion of
them are stalwart, hardy, thrifty,
and ambitious, and all are sober and
abstemious; while, as nearly all are
or the lower classes of Hindoos, they
are in very great measure free from
the bondage of caste, or will soon
break the shackles. 1t is claimed that
some superficial observers have in
dulged In too hasty generalization
OF their unfavorable descriptions of
the Hindoo immigrants. It is also
recognized that the Hindoo Is a Brit.
ish subject, and in going from India
TO British Columbia he is simply
shifting from one part of the empire
to another. Canadians, therefore, well
understood how awkward it would
be to apply prohibitory measures
even though some of the coIonists
might consider the immigrants unde-
sirable.
