Tho move ment begun here having for its object the general adoption of a dis tinctive flag as an emblem of tho French-Canadians is hailed in all quarters as a gratifying sign of tho times. Up to the present time tho million or more French residents of Quebec and the adjoining provinces to the east have clung tenaciously to the customs, language and religion of the country of their forefathers and on all occasions their flag has been the tri-color of France. While none has disputed their loyalty to the British crown their love for Franco has ever held first placo in their bosoms. In view of these well-known sentiments the present agitation to adopt the "Union Jack" as the only flag to be looked up to as a protector Is regarded as all tho more signifi cant.
