The olficinl figures regarding the
immigration during the year 1891 are
now at hand, and it is possible to
compare that year with previous
years in regard to the number of
new citizens we have imported. The
totid number who arrived duriug the
year was 590.6C&. This U oy no
means the large! immigration in our
hitory, but it is the largest since
!S8 when the bish-watcr mark of
7oO.S19 was reached. Further, in only
two years besides that has last year's
total ever been exceeded; namely, iu
18S1, when there were 720.043 im
migrants, and in 1880, when there
were 593.708.

55 60 , ot view.- the press, both Tory and
j Eib'-ral, affect to regard thc Presi-

everything he does or does not do U
looked upon in England as being in
spired by Fenian hatred of that coun
t ry, and as having reference solely to
British interests.
British subjects have tremendous
financial interests in Chile, aud tho
British Government cannot view
with indifference any event that would
have a serious effect on British in
vestments. .It is. altogether probable,
therefore, t'-iit tMat government will
volunteer to ttse its "bind offices." if
it has not done so already, to bring
about a cessation of the present dif
ficulty on peaceable terms. To the
British Tory, our ditlirulty with
Chile is just a petty squabble between
two equally insignificant nations, the
rights of neither of whom can be con
sidered for a moment in comparison
with British interests.
The, responsible government of
Great Hri'iari, however, has reason to
respect ours, and especial reason to
respect the administration ofl'resisl
dent Harrison.. It ia well tiware that,
if it should adopt the tone of the
British press in its relations with thla
count ry, it would promptly be brought
to a realizing sense of its imper
tinence. In this matter of Chile, we can set
tle our own affairs without any help
from Great Britain; and will not
tolerate from her any attempt at
hindrance. It is our government, not
the British, that will decide whether

a young mother is called away Irom

she tasted the joys of motherhood,
e'er her eyes arc closed forever, aud
the tender blossom she has given life
lo. is lost 10 sight: her ears are deaf

is stilled in silest lastiug sleep.

She was a good daughter, a true
