CANADIAN IMMIGRATION.

During the first ten months of the fs'
cal year 356,430 immigrants arrived in
Canada, 93,939 of the total number be-
| ing Americans. During the correspond
| ing ten months of the preceding fiscal
year the total number of immigrants
entering the Dominion was 344,9S3 and
Of the number 1885 were from this
side of the boundary line. Thus it be-
comes apparent that while immigration
to Canada is increasing, there is de-
cided falling off in the number Of
Americans who seek their fortunes in
the north country.
The stampede of farmers from the
United States to Canada, if we may
properly call it such, was the direct re-
suit of AN advertising campaigns; most,
if not all, of which was carried in the
patent insides' Of the country news
papers The average American farmer
is easily tempted to pull up stakes and
seek home in new country, more

alluring advertisements setting forth
the alleged advantages, natural and
otherwise, of the wheat belt up north,
had the desired result.
The Canadians, of course, cannot be
blamed for preferring American immi~
grafton TO all others. Men who have
built homes upon the raw prairies of
Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma and the
Dakotas can be trusted TO do the same
work in any other iuhabitablc new coun-
try. In view of the Ottawa report on
immigration it is probable that the rush
to Canada is over, at least so far as
the American farmer is concerned.
There is consolation in the thought that
those who left this country were ac-
counted "desirable citizens in their
new home.

swer is that the treaty gives England
the right.
There is an old axiom of English law
that whero the reason for the law no
longer exists tho law ceases to exist.
Conditions have changed so radically
since the -Pauncefotc treaty was
adopted that the relative rights and
obligations Of the two contracting ma
tions have changed; or, if they have
not, they should be changed by the alb
roga tion of the treaty. Even though
congress sees fit to tax our coastwise
shipping at the behcst or Great Britain.
the concession should be granted as
privilege and not in recognition of a
treaty right, If such treaty right can
be construed to exist as n result of the
Hay Pauncefote compact, then the COM
pact should0e annulled.

MOFFAT TUNNEL.

Denver has taken a long step toward

that city have bonded themselves for

Jointly By the Denver & Salt Lake rail
road and other lines. Primarily, how
ever, the object OF the tunnel is to give
the Moffat road direct route on an

The people of Denver have believed
for years that the lack OF trans
continental road was the chief handl-
cap of their city. BY the extension of
the Moffat road Denver will be taken
off q spur track, 106 miles south Of a
direct main trunk line and 1l9 miles
north Of another, and viii be placed on
a trauscoutinental highway as soon as

SENATE CHANGES.

The Democratic party has recently
suffered the loss of three senators,
Bacon. Rayner and Johnston, two of
them being statesmen of more than or
dinary ability and leaders in the party
councils. Rayuer's s successor has been
seat ted and two now men will shortly
be chosen to fill the vacancies in Gcor-
gia and Alabama Legislative bodies,
even if they be continuous like the
senate, are constantly changing. Death
and political upheavals do the work
The Republicans have suffered more
than the Democrats in this respect dur
ing the last few years. The Republi-
can leaders Of ten years ago are miss
ing when the roll is called in tho SEN
ate. Hoar, Frye. Allison, Dolliver and
Culum have paid the debt Of nature;
Aldrich and Hale voluntarily retired,
while others of less prominence were
retired by their own party or met de-
feat at the hands of the Democrats.
The senate is not long on statesman
ship at the present time. Quite the con-
trary. The Democrats have not been in
the majority long enough to develop
and tile new leaders of the Republicans
have not the capacity of those whom
they succeeded. A glance at the senate
chamber plainly reveals the ravages of
time and turns the memory back to the
era when the Republicans were in con
troll and the upper house of congress
was regarded as the greatest legislative
body in the world. Truly "there were
giants in those days

WHY RETAIN THE TREATY?

II is notable that Great Britain is not
Insisting upon a strict Interpretation
Of the Hay Pauncefote treaty with ref
crcncc 10 warships. This phase Of the
question is not being discussed to any
great extent on either side Of the At
laniic, and yet the Treaty seems to re-
qulrc entire equality AS to warships as
wcll as 10 vessels of commerce. If the
United States is to be considered as in
cluded within the meaning of the
treaty S phrase, all nations observing
these rules then American war ves-
sells must abide by the treaty regula
tions regarding the war vessels Of
other nations.
The treaty provides that vessels OF
war Of belligereDt shall not remain
within the tbrcc-mile limit of the canal
longer than twenty-four hours at anv
one time. If this country were involved
in war the provision could not be OBJ.
served. and vet it seems to be very
plain in its implication. Even If Eng
land does not insist upon its observ-
anee now II may do so at any time, as
may other countries.
In this connection, however, the un-
dcrstanding between the United States
aud Great Britain as TO the fortifca-
tor Of the canal must be considered.
Great Britain conceded that the pro.
lection and policing Of the canal should
bc left to the United States, and this
right would seem 10 carry with it the
right to keep American warships in or
near the canal for any length of time
the American government should con
slider necessary.
II should not be forgotten that the
Hay PauDcefote treaty was ratified by
both nations before the United States
acquired the Panama strip, through
, which the canal is cut The canal zone,
therefore. is domestic territory and no
treaty should limit the right of this
country to defend its own territory. But
. the same reasoning would seem to apply
to the question of tolls. Now that the
canal is in domestic territory, by what
right can England claim to dictate
whether we shall exempt our coastwise
shipping from tolls7 We would not toll

WATER POWER PLAN.

The administration intends to de.
velop the water power of the country,
so the advices from the national CAPT
tai state. The plan has not been
worked out. but enough is known TO
make it certain that the announcement
will not be received without a great
amount of enthusiasm in the west,
which is vitally interested in such de.
velopmept
The tentative plan Of the government
is to invite capitalists to invest their
money in these projects, which they
will be allowed to control for a given
number Of wears, Then the property
is to revert to the government to use
as it sees fit. In this connection il is
said "the government might turn the
projects over 10 the states, or it might
lease them TO private concerns, turn
ing the money over to the various
states,
gramme of the administration. the re-
suit is almost sure TO be disappointing
for IL will be exceedingly difficult to
enlist private enterprise in any such
undertaking, No sane man will invest
bis money In property which is to he
taken away from him, unless he he al
lowed to cougc everybody with whom he
does business so long as he remains in
control. This would be exceedingly
bad for the enterprises compelled to use
the power or go ont of business.
II it is the intention to benefit the
states, why not turn the whole matter
over to them in the first place and let
them make the necessary arrangements? |?
1t certainly would be a more satisfac-
tory way of doing business and would
inspire more confidence on the part of
those who are to pay for water power
when developed. State officials. famil-
lar alike with the natural resources and
the requirements Of the business inter
ests OF their home states would be
much more apt to do the proper thing
in the premises than high-brows in the
Government employ without practical
knowledge of the water power question.
Again, while the present administra.
tion is said to favor turning these
projects over TO the states at some flu
ture time. or turning over the money
derived therefrom, some other admin
istration might take an entirely differ
ent view of the matter and turn the
proceeds into the national treasury.
leaving the states to hold the bag, This
being tbe case, the senator's and repre-
sentatives from the west should see to
it that as these bills are presented
they be amended TO make certain
that the projects revert to states with.
out any ifs or ands about it when
the terms of control of the private in.
forests end, If the administration is
sincere in the matter there will be no
objection to hard and fast legislation
instead OF an implied promise without
force or effect.
There IS very general disposition to
give Secretary Lane credit for the best
of intentions on account Of his being a
western man and familiar with the
water power situation and the entire
public land question as well. If Mr..
Lane makes a determined stand for
what he knows to be right, the west
will develop TO an astonishing degree
in the next few years. The outlook
