40 NEGROES roK CANADA.

Winnipeg is the chief gateway to
The Canadian Northwest. Last FRIDAY
z company Of negroes from the United
states attempted TO get through.
They We're turned back BY the Cana
ulan officers or the ground that they
Were undesirable citizens and that
there was no place Tor them in this
new country The negro population
In the Northwest of the United states
has been increasing rapidly in the Ia : |,
few years and now threatens TO over
flow into Canada. Canada does not
want them and will not have thein.
The immigration officers have author
ity under the law as il stands to en-
force their Will and they have served
notice on the negroes OF the United
states that they are not wanted and
viii not be permitted TO force them
selves upon the Dominion. The Cana
dian Government has been very strict
IN enforcing the laws against the ad-
mission Of Orientals-Chinese, Hindus
and Iapanese--an 1t intends now TO
keep the negro out also. Canada is a
N4!ttc !l!dil ; country, and II 1t shall
insist upon keeping the negro out it
VIII present additional attraction 10
the race-cursed people OF the United
States TO make their home in a land
where the white man is always on
top.
we are told that representations
have been made 10 the Government at
Washington IN the case Of the negroes
who We're excluded last Friday, but il
IS said that the Government has no
means OF forcing negroes on the Cana
dians. They VIII have TO stay here
until, after exhausting all other
methods for their control, the conclu-
sion will be reached that the radical
solution Of the race question in the
United states is TO be found in dopor-
tation The longer the experiment is
tried the wiser appears to be the view
Of Abraham Lincoln that it IS impos-
siblc for two diversc races to live on
the same soil upon terms Of social and
political equality

during these four weeks Mr.. Clark and
his associates liz the new House Of

served notice on the recalcitrant mem

a BIG THING BY DUPONT.

i Coleman DUPONT. President OF the
DUPONT Powder Company. Of Whining
ton. Delaware. has announced his pur-
pose to build boulevard $50 feet in
width, with room for the installation
OF public utilities, the entire length OF
the State of Delaware. extending from
Claymont on the North, to Shelby
vile. on the South, g. distance Of 100
miles, at an approximate cost OF s2,-
100000. and present this highway to
the State, If the Governor will appoint
a State Highway Commission to keep
the road in repair.
This is the most valuable gift that
has ever been made to the people in
any Of the States Of the country. We
wish that other 1Hillionaires would fol-
low the example OF Mr.. Dupont. The
man who builds roads for the people
is the man entitled to Immortality.

THE y. vi. G. 4. AND rI1n cAr1ol1cs

About ten days ago the y. NJ. G. y,
in Atlanta began a campaign TO raise
a fund of 100000 for the purpose Of
charging the facilities aid broaden
ing the work OF the Association. The
campaigners depended for the success
of their work in some measure upon
the Endorsement Of Archbishop Ire
land. who wrote a letter some time
ago indicating his sympathy with the
work of the Association and making
a contribution OF $3.50 upon the prom
Use Of q high officer OF the Association
that at its next national meeting the
rule would be amended which has
hitherto excluded Catholics from full
partici pa tion In the affairs of the
Association. The promise was not
carried out, whereupon the Archbishop
Immediately notified the Association
that he withdrew his Endorsement and
forbade the further use Of his letter.
Catholic ministers from their pu!pits
OH Sunday advised the members Of
their congregations not TO contribute
to the building fund, and there the
matter stands.
IT looks a little queer that the Oldest
Of Christian bodies in the world should
be excluded from full membership in
an association calling itself Christian;
that is to say. unless 1t is sectarian
which 1t Is said not to be. There is
no question about tho splendid work
tie Y. NJ C. a. has done all over the
world wherever 1t has been established
but it would seem to an Innocent by
stander that 1t should either admit
tho Catholics to full membership or
quit asking them for money, In some
of the cities the Jews have been lib
eral contributors to the Y. NJ. c. A.
without enjoying some OF the privi-
lcges Of the body; but the Jews arc
not Christians and we can understand
why they should not be admitted &c
fun membership, but we do not quite
appreciate the ban upon the oldest OF
Christian organizations.
