WHAT MR. BORDEN WILL FIND.
The Montreal Herald gives Mr. R.
L Borden, the Opposition leader, a
seed -oft as he Imre* on his Western
tour—thus :
Mr. Borden is starting off for his
tour of the West. the Nova Scotia
election being over and done with.
He goer to ask the population to
overturn a Government which has
been in existence since 18e6, during
which period most of those he will ad-
dress have gone into 'he country.
He will visit large and prosperous
towns in dibtricts where there was no
population at alt in 18P0.
He will be driven through miles of
be ptac before 18llti ogle
Me p ere tour ed the land.
He will travel far over the Canadian
Pacific main line, now running
through a !emulous country, where
just prior to 11706 the Company was
ineffectively- begging settlers to stay
on their fortis.
He will travel from Regina to
Prince Albert through a country that
before Mee was condemned as a deem t
and where now are the finest farm
houses and barns in the whole North-
west.
He will ride over four or five lines
paralleling the main line of the Cana-
dian Pacific, each after the other
carrying farther and farther north-
ward the vanguard of population and
agricultural production.
He will flnd the struggling hamlets
that were before turned into
baodsome cities, streets.
and with signs everywhere of pro.pet-
ity, of wealth, of comfort.
In a land which before 1896 cried
out for farmers, he will find farmers
organized in legions, filled with en-
thusiasm for the country they work
it and eagerly supporting pians of
their own for its development,
When Mr. Laurier went there as
leader of the Opposition in ISlaj. :he
difficulty was to fled the farmers.
When Mr. Borden goes there in the
rams role in 1911 his difficulty will be
to keep out of their way.
That, perhaps, is the readiest meas-
ure of the change that has been
wrought under the intelligent direc-
tion of the Government he seeks to
owetthrow.
BISHOP MILLS' DISCLAIMER.
In his charge to the ttynod of On-
tario, meeting at Kingston last week.
Bishop Mille nude an emphatic dis-
claimer of the annexation cry. He
the fact that the Provincial capital
has a large and rapidly iucrewe'Ing
Hebrew population. Tbe Jews ob-
jected t - the street preaching of a
Obrieli ins' who, they claim -
an m iooary
ed, abused tbeir religion.
The Galt Reporter lentereciprocity)
raises en alarm over the prospect of
having to pay increased prices for fish
when the United States arket is fres
to Canadian fishermen. This may be
an right for Tbe Reporter's ionstitu-
secy, but the fsbermen of 'i oderich
ate not at all afrail that the prices
will go too high.
Lord Rosebery has been created the
Earl of Midlothian. it is rather a pity
the change of title was not made a
few years ago. Then the Earl of
Rosebery might have been remem-
bered as a brilliant leader of British
democracy, while the Earl of Mid.
lothian, high priest of privilege, would
be a distinct personality.
The English Tory press is staying
things about Sir Wilfrid Laurier. But
as the English Tory press is not in line
with progreeeive public opinion in its
own country. as was shown by tbe hat
three general elections there, it is not
surprising that it fain to understand Ca-
nadian sentiment. The Liberal pram of
e bid Country shows greater wis-
dom in accepting Sir Wifield's views
as a correct reflection of public
opinion in Canada.
The Nationalists of Quebec are cam-
paigning against Laurier with the cry
that he is too British and Imperialis-
tic. In Ontario he is accused by the
Conservatives of throwing a "wet
blanket" over Imperialist design's. The
Ontario Conservatives hope that with
the aid of the Quebec Nationalists
they will heat Laurier at the next
election. it is a queer alliance, but,
as has often been remarked, politics
makes strange bedfellows.

ered stocks is not such as world coos -
mood bin to public favor, and he baa
hardly been in Eoglaad loog enough
to make an impression in bigb socsety,
unless it is his milli Jos that count.
Canadian democracy does well to bold
such distinctions in slight esteem.
Canada's national revenue for the
test fiscal year shows again it large In -
crease. The remission of taxation in-
volved in the reciprocity agreement
will tend to reduce the amount raised
by customs duties, hut much greater
reductions ren still be made without
the neeersity of looking for new
.oursee nt revenue. In thediscutslons
of reciprocity little attention has been
paid to the fact that it means a meas-
ure of relief front customs taxation.
We benefit both by securing the
United States market Inc eur naturist
products and by the remission of cus-
totns taxation on articles covered by
the agreement.
said :
"There are some people going up
and down the country now, profes-
sional politicians for the most part
(though there are some others with
them who know just a:r little about
the matter), wbo are singing a song
about blue ruin which is coming on
our country through reciprocity with
the United States. Whether it would
be in the general interests of the
country is a question for debate, and
about which different opinions may he
held. But politicians have not de-
voted their attention so much to the
discussion of this question as in ring-
ing changes on the cry (bat If reel-
procity were adopted it would be the
first step towards annexation ; that

�aas�aat Hag.
".When you ale an eagle absorbing a
moose, time you can begin to -believe
that the United States is going to ab-
sorb Canada." This was the signifi-
cant declaration of Rev. C. A. 8eager
—a Uoderich "old boy, ' by the way—
at a missionary gathering in connec-
tion with tbe 'meeting of the Anglican
Synod at Toronto last week. In all
the talk about Canadian nationalism,
said Mr. Seager, he wondered whether
many of them did not confuse with it
a lot of speculation about lyoeening
the bonds of Empire and annexation
of Canada by the neighboring Repub.
lit. The idea of annexation was un -
w thy of consideration. Church-
es. he continued, ought not to be
af.ai 1 of the developnieut of the
mighty Canadian nation, but should
welcome and contribute to it.
GO
Addressing a meeting of the Consti-
tutional Club in London, Sir Wilfrid
Laurier deemed it advisable to reply to
certain statements of the English Tory
press regarding Canadian &Kairs. He
assured his audience that the Canadian
tariff preference to Great Britain was
a permanent feature of his .(k vern-
ment's policy, He denied that the re-
ciprocity agreement with the United
States tended towards annexation and
he reminded his hearers that it was
not a treaty, but an agreement which
could be terminated at any time.
While Canada would continue its
prefere nce to the Mother Country, it
wished to extend its trade in otber
directio o.. Such a declaration could
not but appeal to tbe business men' of
Great Britain, whose policy it is to
trade freely with the wbole world.

poor conditions tender which some
cbildreo lived (luting childhood had
the inevi'able result of ening to over-
flowing Om prisons and asylum of

that it was a t the object of any

The lidselilttt views shown at the
tuass meeting on Sunday evenjne did
much to impress upon the audience
the urgent nerd for more interest in
such work and the good results which
always followed the steps taken by
the agents to Improve conditions.

Wby Not Look All Around t
Montreal Herald.
The Toronto News wants Tor WO
to "look north. not south," and to de-
velop Cochrane and Northern Ontario
generally instead of going in for reel-
procit y. Why one cannot look ninth
for alace to produce thiogs and
south for a place to sell the els not
explained. The raining experts of
North Ontario are almost unanimous
in the opinion that the free admission
of mining products to the United
States will immensely hasten the de-
velopment of the great unetai regions
behind the Ottawa River.
There is a prospect of a fine crop nt
litigation in the cane of old man
Fraser, of Midland. The Court bas
derided that Fraser is of unsound mind
—tn reach this decision it being nec-
essary to disregard the expert medical
evidence --and has placed his estate
in the hands of the Toronto General
Truett' Corporation. The relatives
will now have a grand fight over the
property. and perhaps that is all they
will have, no matter who wine—the
lawyers will have the rest. If one
could credit the judges with a philo-
sophical view. it might be supposed
that they considerei none of the par-
ties to the emit entitled to the prop-
erty and resolved to dissipate it as a
warning against mercenare designs
on defenseless people.
The Guelph Mercury makes the ol-
lowing timely remarks :
"The srceess of tbe Farmers' insti-
tute excursion,' to the Agricultural
College this month is affected by an
advance by the railways of their
excursion rates over those of former
years. A material increase in rates
has taken place. The result is that
so far the June excursions have been
e comparative failure, Only on one
or two days, when the visitors came
from district. neer Guelph, has the
number been anything like as great as
formerly. From an edooatinnel point
of view it is very deirable that the
ferment of the Province should be en -
ea seemed to visit the Agricultural Col-
lege, which is to all intents and per.
pearee their own university. %pile
the railways cannot be expected to
facilitate this object br fixing rates
which are unprofitable. they should at
least give as good a proportionate rate
as they do for the Tempt", Exhibi-
tion.'"

A Voice from the Dead.
Montreal Herald.
If Sir Wilfrid decided to appeal to
the country on the reciprocity issue
he could save himself a lot of trouble
by simply laming a copy of the cir-
cular letter addressed by Sir John
Thompson to his electors in 1891. it
rends : 'The Governmert of which I
am • member is appealing to the
country with a volley which we be-
lieve will be heartily endorsed by a gree t
majority of the electors. We have
made to the Government of the
United States', through the Govern-
ment of Great Britain, proposals for
reciprocity in trade which we have
good reason to believe will result in
an arrangement by which the markets
of the United States will be reopened
to the products which our people de-
sire most to send there. A fair meas-
ure of reciprocity is what we desire,
and we have no doubtthat that can
be obtained without undue sacrifice."
