DEAR. SIR,-â€"A letter from Dr. Wilson. published in your last issue, was read by me with considerable pleasure. In no- cdi‘danée with suggestions contained therein I have ventured to make a move, and ask for a little space in your columns, and much forbearance on the part of your readers. in order that a. few woxds may be said on a eu bject which calls for serious and céreful consideration. The subjecéi or. perhaps we might say, the finestipn before us) is. “Where shall on'r young menjgepgl their winter eve- ni'nga‘fi 1’ This questions comes up again aii'd'a'gain as the geasuu comes round, but “gum the pieseut tin e no :olutim has If you want to buy or sell a Farm, adâ€" vertise m the Toronto \VEEKLY‘ MAIL.

To the Editor 0: Tax: LIBERAL The Evening Telegram 0t Mon- dayisaid in one of its editorials : “Population is one great need of this Dominion. The Canadian problem is solved when that need is supplied. and this being true, the wonder is that an enlightened Gov- ernment should not shape its policy so as to serve these great ends." The Telegramshows Laugh sur- gziée. at the course of “an enlight- ened Government,” yet it supports that Government in its so called National Policy, which is driving our people across tl.e lines every year by tens 01 thousands. The same fonrnal suggests the encour- agement of immigration, but what is the use of expending large sums of money in bringing Europeans to this country when they will not re- main with us. Duringthe ten years between 1881 and 18gr the Domin- ion Government paid out over. $3,000,000 for 800,000 immigrants. but the census shows that the in- crease in population during the de- cade was less than the number of immigrants by about 300.000. vacant chair is not' likely to make any different arrangement in the political situation of England. It 15 thought, however, that a marriage W111 be brought about between Prince George and Princess Victor- ia Mary of Teck, in order to remove the possibility of the Fife succession. As it now stands. in the event of death of the. Prince of Wales and Prince George, the throne of Eng- land would revert to the wife ot the Duke ot Fife, and after her death to her daughter. Such a sx'ccession, which is not at all likely, would not suit the nobility of England. Had the reign of Queen Victoria been no better than some of her predecess- ors , many people might now be clamoring for the downfall of mon- algchlcal govern merit. But her reign has been that of a perfect consti- tutional. ruler, and her subjects have teaser? to love her as they do. In the recent death the nation also mourns with Queen Victoria, asthe Duke of Clarence was regarded as her favorite grandson. Placeszor Leisure Hours. of death been laid upon her affi- a‘nced.

Iii doing so. however, I do not think that it followa that an author should always write, over his own signature, on the doctor seems to intimate should be done, unless he pre- fers doing, so. Nam de plumes are as- sumed by many of the best writers of the day and are often retained lutn' after they have become famous. Fictitious names too have their advantages. We are more likely to judge correctly of the weight of an argument or the literary merit of a. story if the character or the standing of the author is to its unknown.
