CANADA ran: nnsr coumnv Every now and then the wail of the disappointed emigrant is heard, telling of hopes unrealized and prospects blighted. Lured by the roseate description of inter- ested agents about securing homes and rapidly making money, thousands of men have left the shores of the old world and gone to various parts of the new believ-T ing that a very El Dorado is awaiting them and that comfort and wealth are assured. In a short time they nd that they have been deceived and when too late are made conscious of the grave mistake of. listening to such deceptive stories. The unfortunate farmers who have been crossing the frontier from the United States into our North West Ter- ritories can_ tell sad tales of disappoint- ment, loss and hardships by settling in the region of cyclones and droughts.

The attempt to blow up Russell Sage in in New York last week is suggestive of serious thought. That a mad man can ob- tain an article by which he could shiver into atoms a large building, spreading death and disaster around him, sending into eternity without a moment's warning un- suspecting people,and bringing ruin and sorrow to many homes, makes even the `boldest man pause and ask if civilization is not doing more than is necessary. A person in this country has to leave his gignature at a drug shop if he should purchase certain poisonous drugs with which he might do some mischief to him- self or others, but there does not appear to be any bar on the other side of the lines ..!9 anyone possessing. himself of an agent that would enable him to destroy hun- V dreds of people in an instant.

It isitrite saying that one half of_ the world does not know how the other half lives. Ward McAll_ister occasionallylets us into the inner life of New York Upperten- dom or as it is called the Four Hundred, its lavish expenditure, its gaudy vulgarity and the polish and renement out-side of oil,shoddy and Wall street gambling,bu3 he says nothing of the poverty, the misery and the crime withina stone's cast of the marble , palace of the millionaire. The Arena gives {the other side of life in some of the great centres of population such as Boston, Chicago , New York, New Orleans and other places and the pictures are enough to cause the statesman to pause and the philanthropist to weep. There is another side besides this that few peo- ple have even given a thought toor how they are living amidst the activities of the great world. The New York Sun humor- ously hits off some of these.

' ` - This may emphatically be designated the age of invention and scientic triumph. ` At no period inthe world's history have their beenso many wonderful things ac- complished as the last half century has witnessed. 'lhe resources of civilization - and the inventive powers of the human lirain seem to he inexhaustible. This is equally true of the useful, the astonish- ing and the destructive elds of invention and achievement. A writer in a late number of the London Illustrated News calls attention to the inventive spirit of the age in producing implements of war. These come in such rapid succession, that no sooner does a government expend millions of money insome new and ter- ribly destructive instrument than this has to be cast aside for something more de- structive still, so that the military powers of Europe have to incur all the expenses of war in order to preserve peace. Fears are entertained that the closing years of the century will be characterized by a struggle among` the nations more terrible andpbloody than has ever been seen. The writer referred to hints, -that it would be a good thing for the world if men who offer to the race any more destructive war engines, were, in the interests of hu- manity, condemned to extermination. vein a state of argvii-.4 } tndo. little .bottorr than actual t- alavery. * Inntead `of having mm. gjveit `them they were herded with barbardua negro eld hands.

The `survivors of `theta horrors Later developments point to a plot to murder men who have been successful in amassing large sums of money on the as- sumption,that they are the enemies of the laboring man, and that the man who was destroyed in trying to blow up Mr. Sage was one of such organized band and was not a_ mad man at all. There is, it is true, nothing very denite to sustain such a theory and it is to be hoped that it has no foundation. The practical "lesson is, that restrictions of the most rigid sort should be put" on the manu- facture and sale of such explosives as dynamite. Nobody is safe while mad- men and villains can procure such dan- gerous agents. A ' `reached n...1.;;a` iiikeii cifi{a1J{".Lf& ruined in pocket, find new -warn others not to go to South Amer;cs.

Mr. Swan is a native of the County of Gavan, in the north of Ireland. He emigrated to` Canada on June let, 1864, leaving his parents, brothers and sisters with the determination to push his for- V tunes in the new world. For ve years he worked and lived economically. Then he settled in Tay Township, Simone County, purchased a lot of land, and hewed a farm out of the virgin forest. His next wise step was to marry, and he won a maiden who is a native of Glasgow, Scotland. They have four children, two boys and two girls, all possessing a fair education, and trained to be industrious. -Midland Free Press. There is no more successful farmer in Tay Township than Mr. John A. Swan. He owns 300 acres, there is not a cent of debt on the land, and last season he was awarded rst prize and a silver medal by the Agricultural and Arts Association of Canada for the best managed and neatest kept farm in East Simcoe. Upon this large farm Mr. Swan has a ne brick dwelling and rst-class . out-buildings. He keepsa large herd of well bred Dur- hams, and his sales of fat cattle are always on a big scale. His flock of about 50. sheep bring him in a satisfactory ad- dition to his yearly income; and none the less wealth does he gain through raising and fattening hogs. His working and driving horses are only numerous enough for the labor demanded on the farm, as he is too practical to give any attention to thg home market in its present quiet con- dition. This season he harvested 2,000 bushels of wheat, oats and peas, besides a large crop of roots for winter feed for stock." ' - `.-_ $___i 5 V V ,0 I AI A A Crown Hill Public Schoolfor Novem- ber.

They do also claim the right to battle for the purity of their homesand for the salva- tion of humanity degraded by the greed of men for gain and of governments for revenue. Pardon me Mr. Editor for these lengthened remarks, but I could not let Mr. Ketchnm s letter pass with out award of protest. V A [3 -___ -L1.-II_ IITIJ\IUI\-III U` 'u"I Mr. Ketchum sneers at the idea of woman purifying politics. The implied insinuations are unworthy of an honest man and undeserving a reply. That there are bad women, nobody denies, that some women historically known have proved themselves tyrants is true, but does that prove that the mass of womanhood would be corrupted if it had a share in mak- ing the laws of the land, and aiding in their administration ! .

Mr. Ketchum is like a good many men I` have seen in print and on the platform, who in spite of a profession of liberality ou the Woman Question and on others also, cannot rid himself of his prejudices. His logic halts andhis theology is narrow and cramped. I would like to ask Mr. Ketchum if women who are engaged in the work of checking the greatest vice of the age, alleviating the unspeakable mis- ery and woe which it causes, because the church has not crushed it, are not as justly entitled to think that they are com- missioned by God to do that work as hundreds of ministers that they have been called by God to preach the gospel, but who never and one whit in the'repres- sion of this curse of the age. If God looks with favor on works of mercy, truth, purity, justice ' and righteous- ness. He surely must favor this work, then, although In the commission of Christ to his disciples there may be nothing specied about the temperance cause, this will notjustify the moralist, much less the Christian, in standing with folded arms and see thousands of human beings annually perish by atraic that has the sanction of law. `If. vuuv cu, uvnvn vs 'llIlU9UUO Renpeotfully yours,` _ _ . : Auausu. - _Bu-rie, ,D eo`. 7011,1891. V ' ' - ing in Boston. a Mr. Ketchum says:--The Union mod- estly asserts that we believe as an or- ganization we havebeen called of God to carry on a great moral reform and it is "added that the fundamental principles of their work are total abstinence for the individual, and legal prohibition for the state. The Union is essentially Christian. It incorporates that adjective in its title. In the revelation which the Almighty has made for mankind, and also for woman- kind, He does not tell us of` ever having called a-peculiar people, setting forth as the basis on which they were to work such fundamental principles as given above He sent forth his disciples with no such- instruction. He bade them teach all nations whatsoever he commanded. They were to baptize, preach the gospel, preach the remission of sins and He promised to be with them always even unto the end of the world. There was" certainly no intimation that any other body, otherwise commissioned, would accomplish what his church could not accomplish.

G. L. Ketchum. The letter. is entitled The Woman Move- ment, and the writer sets off by referring to the fact that there is scarcely a first- class magazine of the day which has not contained at least one article on The Woman Movement. within the last few months. He refers to Mrs. Henry Faw- cett s article The Emancipation of Wo- man in the Fortnightly Review for No- vember, and an article on the same sub- ject by Mr. Frederick Harrison. The question discussed in these articles is physical fitness, taking the ground that women are physically unt to be soldiers, dock laborers or butchers, and nobody. expects them to follow such occupations, but that they are mentally and physically tto vote and to engage in a large number of industrial, scientic and professional pursuits and that these privileges and occupations should be" offered to them. This does not please Mr. Ketchum, neither do` the pro- ceedings of the National Woman's Chris- tian Temperance Union and the World's Women's Christian Temperance Union, which have lately been characterized by a llot of speech-making and res.olution-pass- inns do.
