Time Table No. 51 Commenting on the immigration to Cnnad.-. the Spol'CMiuui Rfiew says The Salvation Army is making itself an effective' immifiralion agency for western Canada. About'3500 British people are to bc brought out in lhc next few weeks directly under the care of the army. Of this number'it is expected that about fifteen hundred will remain in -Manitoba and thc others go farther west to' Saskatchewan. . The new arrivals will be chiefly, if not exclusively, farm laborers, though many of them may have to gain experience on farms in their new homes. The movement has been under''way for some time, and Saldatipri army olliccrs, from General Booth down, have endeavored to make it:-clear that they would have nothing to do with any proposn.1 looking to Uie dumping on Canada , of the worthless or criminal classes of Great Britain. The only people to be dealt with nre tlie hard-Working, seT-sustaining, -English people who wish to go to the land and improve tlip'r position in life. Naturally the movement'is receiving e.veny enfouraeement- from the oJIieiaia and people of Canada. The new arrivals will form a much more desirable class of settlers, thuli thc .thousands who are coming to the United Stales from the", congested districts of .southern Europe, and it wo-nd be a good lliin.fi: for this country if some similar effort *weic put forth to encourage an et'lially ���������desirable''class tothe western states- In connection with thc coming of these people to CVtada, aiTango- ments have been made in advance;loathe immediate employment of aTaree. portion of them. Applicationi'b'lanl's were sent .'out to the farmers in "the provinces to be filled and retiurncd showing where.help is wanted and! pre number of hands desired. Large numbers of these have been returned to the army hcadqiiart?r,s 'in 'Winnipeg, where !a system has been perfected for forwaoding the men as soon as they arn\e. The information received from the farmers shows whether they were married or single men; whether they can give employment to thc wile; nature of the wifes duties; whether experienced or inexperienced help is wanted; wages to be Paid, nnd for how many months employment can be gi\cn. The system looks like a good one, r.n Btitute I. Before the reign of Richard I. "I" (Ego) was always used. Richard being the first sovereign In Europe ������0 use the royal "we" (Nosi.

Mr. Cleveland admits that this is now the case to a considerable extent uinoiig men, but he claims that in older to justify giving women etojiial lights with men, it must be shown that they would sue them better than men. The friends of eqjual rights of course, would deny this. They v. ould say that women ought to have equal rights with men unless it can be shown that they would use them worse than. men. But it is easy to meet Mr Cleveland's otojjpctiou em this and to show that woman suffrage would increase the desirable vote more largely than the undesirable. First, as to ignorance: The high schools of every state in the Union are graduating more girls than bo/ys, ! often two or three times as many- Tins is because of the growing tendency to take boys.o ut of school early lo put them into business.
