enjoy the advantage of an abundant
coal supply, almost at their very doors;

and the proximity OF vast mineral re-
sources thus insuring them in the near
future a large consuming public with
out the necessity Of long shipments TO

And the settler in Wyoming or in the

his American citizenship. which ought
TO be an important consideration to
every patriotic American.
The only explanation Of the exodus
to Canada which seems at all adequate
is that Americans do not realize the
resources which are available at home.

immigration officials has set before
them in most effective manner the few
advantages offered to the farmers on
the boundless and isolated pratries OF
the Canadian northwest.
The series Of land shows which are
being held in this country may go FAR
to Offset this movement. Certainly the
one held recently in this city must
have been an eye-opener to those who
had assumed that the opportunities for
securing good farms on advantageous
terms in this country were exhausted
Especially must 1t have shown them
that right here in New York. close to
an inexhaustible market where produce
brings the highest prices, are golden
agricultural opportunities. It may be
a question how far the show held here
was successful in reaching the class
of people who are being beguiled into

The Russian Treaty.

The intimation that the new Rus

country specially invested with author
ity to negotiate revision OF the Rus
so American treaty of 1882 gives some
reason to hope for the prompt relief Of
situation which is discreditable on

undisputed by Russia herself, that she
does thus discriminate against Ameri-

THANKSGIVING IN THE SCHOOLS.
Sioux City TrihEnel

lSiOuN NllS 1!lDUueJ.
The children of the Sioux City pub
lie schools are to have a genuine
Thanksgiving. They are to have their
Thanksgiving programs the day before,
namely, on Wednesday. the 2sth, and
on Thursday, the 30th. they are to be
free to study domestic economy at
home: then on Friday there is to he
no school, and OF course none on Eat
urGay or Sunday. What luck! Ano
then, with the first week III Decem Der.
they can put their minds on the sweet
Christmas time.
Supt. G. NJ. Clark has hit Upon fine
idea to give his wards practical touch
with Thanksgiving. There are chill
d-en of the poor insusficiently clothed,
and the truant officer has found cases
that make strong appeal to Christian
charity. The children are invited to
bring gifts and the school authorities
will see that the offerings of the chill
dren are worthily placed. Clothing OF
any kind, outgrown or displaced by
something new, still good for service
may be contributed by the children;
and they may bring a few cents in
money if they wish and are abundantly
able. Isn't 1t nice? That is like shar-
ing Thanksgiving with the widow and
the fatherless. The children need &c
know more than they can learn from
books.
There is no good reason why any
child in Sioux City should be kept
from school by lack OF shoes and
stockings and warm clothing. II it Is
hard to get a At for some OF the
youngsters and the alterations can not
be made by the mothers, another OPP
pcrtunity is presented which can be
met by the girls who have need of
practical educati ton in domestic
science.
The prudent management Of chart
table work presents considerable
problem. Ii is disquieting to be
stung: and there are many shiftless
men. and some shiftless women. who
make 1t a business to sting people. The
difficulty is that investigation is re-
quired to distinguish the worthy from
the unworthy, and the pathetic thing
about it all is that the most worthy
may not be found out at all.
The idea of Superintendent Clark
can be worked out beautifully. 1t can
be made helpful to those who receive
and helpful in a large way to those
who give.
