inasmuch as the Canadians are a whole

towards Canadians. When one informs
the average New Yorker that Canada is
larger than the United 8tatea in area, he
sjaios first with surprise and then with ab-
lolute incredulity, bu; the facts are the
tame.
There is nothing particularly impressive
about the cities of the Dominion. The
public buildings are good, but the homes
are inordinately small and in most in
stances so. ui cramped. 1 amtold that this
is on account of the expenses of heating in
winter, which are very great, and lienee
iho phi!o-opby of having a small house to
warm. The country is beautiful in some
places and although there is un distinct
type of feminine beaulv, the darker Cana
dian girls arc exceedingly pretty. The
lack of general wealth throughout
the country is noticeable iu the
absence of showy i-unii-sei-e. well-
paved streets' ‘ and * expensively
(mill houses. Nor do the people seem to
be inclined to pay much for amusements.
A city of the size of Montreal which I be
lieve numbsn 200,000, has no regular the
ater and depends upon tiaveling and ex
ceedingly bad allows for its entertainment
at this s a on of the year. During this
week (or instance, there has been only one
theatrical performance in town.
The feeling in aiimla about ths retalia
tion message is very strong. It is the only
guwtion which intrudes itself into conver
sation at all points and about which
all Canadians speak with equal interest,
it is, in fact, a vital interest with them
although it is only one of many in the
united States, and it is indicative of
the tendency the country is taking toward
commercial union aud annexation. The
tremendous prosperity of the state of Michi-
fan since it became a part of the union is
liken as a fair indication of what the state
of prosperity would be if the boundary
line were thrown down and there were uo
iMrictiont in the trade ol the two coun
tiles. The theory which finds the readiest
jcceptance here is that of Ersatus Wiman.
He has |min ed out that Canada is a series
*f stiles among which there is free trade,
*nd that within its borders it is pros
perous. In the same way the United
btstes is a collection of states width

President’s action on the fishery.
other boundary disputes, you will hear
even Ioyul Canadians complain that
thy have lost territory equal to
half of Europe owing to English
ignorance or aisregartt forth ir interests.
At to the recent fishery business it is be
lieved here that both Joseph Chamberlain
and Sir Charles Tupper had strict injunc
tions laid upon them to make a treaty at
any priie. and Canada and ( and inn in
ter sts v ere undoubtedly sacrificed to har
mony in t ib Chamberlain treaty last year.
Canadians knew this hut they were told to
maintain silence and did so. When the
Preddenl’s retaliation message came they
were anxious to burst into speecu but once
more came the English command for
silence and silence is still the order
of the day. But Canadians have
learned this letson, that they
can no longer a fiord to let England
do their treaty making, and when they
once get that power into their hands they
are no immeasurable distance - from inde
pendence, wliiih means, ultimately annex
ation. So that from every point of view,
whether by way of commercial union or
by the attainment of the treaty making
power, the coalition of Canada with the
great country south of it can only he a
matter of time, it is as inevitable as that
two bodies falling through spice must con
j->ie from the irresistible force of attrac
tion.
There are oddly impressive shades to
the international comroversy. Some of
hem are wbim-ical—the deadly earnest
ness of the “statesmen,” for instance. I
have seen several great European diplo
mats on impressive occasions and at least
two British cabinet minis era at work.
I'hey were all placid and easy going men.
So are the really influential’ thinkers at
Washington. But here the amount of in
timity and force that appear upon .the
surface of politics would abash the prize
sophomoric debates of a back county col
lege. The weight of nations is feather
weight compared >0 the load of respon
sibility and power that the average Can
adian politician carries. His brow is
beetled; his mien portentiotis and his
speech replete with dignity, impressive-
i.eaa and verbal force. He doesn’t say
much at a rule despite his plentiful am
plitude of jvords, but he has feelings and
they are violent. The fact is the Can-
s.liann am a trifie more Impressed with
their own importance than a strict consid
eration of the facts wsrr-nt. They speak
of a war with the United Slates itt a
pitying way nt time* as though there
would not be much banco for us in the
event of an outbreak. The man who
holds the responsible post of minister of
militia, Sir A. (trail, recently indulged in
a lot of fsntaatic and bombastic fol-de-rol
alejHt the hnr ly and true-hearted sailors ol
the St. Liwrcnce manning • tinbsata and
making mincemeat of the United States.
The fact that we number 00,000,000 to
Canada’s 5,000.000 was not st the moment
considered. What they seem unable to
thoroughly nniize except among
the more advanced students is
UAJOR-OENERAL SIR FBED’K MIPnt.ETON,
(Commander ot Canadian M litis.)
that England will never fisht the United
SUtee'm Canada's interest. Whv should
ahe? Canada ia neither a source of profit
nor honor to the mother country. Oreot
Britain has the implacable and »k ilfnl
haired af Ireland on one side, toe fre»k-
ish danger of France in an- ti er di fic
tion, while the steady and growing
dislike of Germany is a menace wliicu
will loom hig and formidable in th* rear
future. She has all ahe can do to aieer a
clear course at home and protect Indi«and
her other great resources of revenue with
nut attacking a country which has already
licked her, solely to oblige a child, which
•lie knows will accede from her protection
whenever the time is ripe. That England
ia willing to have Canada go her own way
hiis been publicly i-.wcn.ed by Mr. J.
Chamberlain himself, and the aly and
pawky Joseph is generally understood to
know’whereol he speak*.
