oe ~y 0 The people of Dawson and the

by th° 113° °f Yukon mining regions have been

brought together in the eager search

for gold,a.ll of which is found on lands ‘ow ned by the:government. As a large proportiop of them are citizens of

foreign countries it has been thought desirable that the government shall t collect a. royalty on the gold that is

done to reco` up to the people of Can- ada their large expenditure for ad-~ ministering the Yukon government and maintaining peace and the se-

ments are crude, and men who lravl-,I travelled long dis-aiices`fi-oiii the mines in e.gei‘ expectation of letters find it hard to wait in line behind hundreds iff their fellows till all are senved. The post <i'lice in Dawson sei-ms to have been insufficientlyl manned and the same is true of the mines office. There has oeen more or less fricfi »n inlvarious quartets, but I we do not believe that the impartial inquiry now to he made by Mr. Ogil vie will sustain against the officials the wholesale charges of corrupt-ions and fraud that have gone a.broad| through the press. Still it is well that an 'inquiry is to be made. It can hardly result otherwise than in good, in the correction of any abuses] found toexist, and in improvement ofl the details of administration. ' The press of the United States has

been to a considerable extent the ve- hicle for complaints against the Yukon management, but the comment is not; wholly adverse or unmixed with com-l pliment. For example we find the Boston Herald saying :

“The Canadian methods of maintain- §

ing the pub‘ic peace in the mining camp are incomiarahly superior io our own, , but if these are attended with oilirial corruption to the extent reported the, gain may not be an unalloyrd one. Al mining camp on this side of the border line-that is, one which contained the lawless and adventurous elements that` make up the popufiiticn at Dawson- i would be the scene of a great deal of disorder, and human life would be held in scant respect.”

The letter of "Agricola," in another

column of this issue will probably not be taken quite seriously by anybody. We do not think thatoui' teachers are toowell paid. Their rafe of pay is even less than in most other prov- vinces, and not too high in any of them whenfthe cost of living, which is higher in some places than in others, is taken into account. Nor can it be denied that the teachers as a body have the same rights as ether classes: or the population to make a _repre-" sentation of their grievances, if suchl- they have. But this right can hardly go so far as to justify a voteof cen- sure on the government for carrying out what is conceived to be a fair public poliry in educational matters. We publish “Agricola.’s” letter as the expression of an extreme view and in a jocular vein.

Various causes have contributed to

the marked declensioii in potato pro- duction in this province, chief among which is t-he potato bug, which has greatly added to the labor while lea- sening the crop. The market has also been found to be a. fluctuating and uncertain one. The lessons of the situation in regard to potato growing are therefore all in the direction of turning attention to other farm crops, or to stock-raising and especially to dairying, as oifering a more certain and steady return, With an always abundant market.' When once the situation is fully realized our farmers and their farms will be none the worse oli for ceasing to raise large crops of potatoes for ex- portation. ‘
