The Canadian Contingent.
The lohg delayed decision of the
Laurier Government to send a contin-
gent of Canadian troops to the theatre
of war in the Transvaal, now that it
has been taken, will meet with the
almost unanimous approval of the
people of this country. Aside from
its value as the expression of Canada's
loyalty to the mother country, it
marks an important epoch in Cana-
dian history. It is a step and a long
step in the evolution of a Canadian
nation. It possesses a special signifi-
cance as demonstrating that Canada
has come to be an important and in-
tegral portion of the British Empire,
and that the aims of the wise men who
brought about Confederation are being
realized with nnexpected rapidity and
thoroughness. The action of the Gov-
ernment may indeed prove to be the
'WM:ling point in our career, and may
be considered as the final and emphatic
answer to the question, " Whither
Are We Drifting?" 'propounded many
years ago by one who stood by watch-
ing the unfolding of our destiny.
Confederation itself was the Mital
step in our march towards an itnperial
destiny. Subsequently the adoption
of the much abused National Policy
was the serving of notice upon the rest
of the world that. Canada, young and.
ambitious, intended to play her part
among the nations of the earth. The
binding together of the different Pro-
vinces by the building of the Canadian
Pacific Railway, spite of the strongest
hostility of a political faction, render-
ing us ,at once independent of our
southern neighbors in the matter of
inter -provincial communication and
completing England's pathway around
the world was equally as distinct an
advance toward the realization of
Canadian hopes.
Now by the action of the Canadian
Government we have chosen our des-
tiny so far as it can be determined. by
the volition of the people. We have
taken our stand side by side with the
mother country and our sister colonies
in the defence of that magnificent Em-
pire of which we form a part. Our
interests are no longer purely Canadi-
an. "No such pent-up Utica contracts
OUT powers," They are as wide as the
British Empire, which is as wide as the
world. We have inherited our por-
tion of the glory whieh has been won
by British valor upon a hundred battle
fields of the past, but in the future we
intend to win our own share of the
COMM= glory under the flag of the
Empire whenever, wherever and by
whatsoeyer foe it may be assailed.
This loglcally is our position to -day.
That this new departure --this evo-
lution in our national policy --may in-
volve us in every quareel of every por-
tion of the Empire daunts us not. The
step now grudgingly taken by the Go-
vernmentcannot be retraced. We
must bear our portion of the Empire's
burdens, If Canada is to partake of
the benefits of British connection, it
muse be prepared to share its respon-
sibilitiee. If we expect to be protected
we must stand ready to assist our pro-
tector in her hour of trial. Her inter-
ests are world-wide, her enemies al-
most as numerous as the nations of the
earth. Her interests are not hers
alone, but ours also, her friends are
our friends. and ours also must be her
enemies. Should leeissian hordes assail.
her on the plains of India, there, here-
after must the Empire's bugle call fled
the sons of Canada standing shoul-
der to shoulder with their brethren
from Australia, New Zealand and.
South Africa under the flag of the Em-
pire ready to battle for the !integrity
of the Union. Germany's :desire for
aggrandizement in China may be
curbed by the knowledge that a united
British Empire is ready to confront
her. "Preece too, old England's tradi-
tional enemy, may yet feel thepower
of the united British Empire. Her ir-
ritation of the 'poor Newfoundland will
cease when the world's greatest Em-
pire says to her, e Hands off." With

COMMENTS.
ue denies that there were
erences in the cabinet over the
ing of troops to the Transvaal. It
Ican scarcely deny, however, that there
were very divergent opinions ainotig
the leading papex s supporting the
Government when Mr. Tarte's paper
practically mid the Globe lied.

THE Geo, E. Tuckett & Sons Co.
(limited) of Hamilton, has decided to
pay any of its employees who decide
to go to the Trausvaid with the Cana.
dian contingent at the rate of 50 cents
a day during the absence, and pay the
„premium on a life insurance policy for
$1,000, besides giving them their old
situation if they return, Mr. Tuckett
called his employees together on Sat-
urday and made them the offer, and
immediately several of them decided
to make applications for enlistment.

Tem expected has happened. Hon.
A. S. Hardy has resigned as premier
of Ontario and will go OD the Bench.
Mr. Hardy's career has been singularly
brief and inglorious. His political end
has been hastened by the exposures of
the wholesale corruption whicla has
been practised in his behalf by the now
notorious gang of ballot box stuffers,
ballot stealers and switchers, bribers
and other corruptionists. Hon. G. W.
Ross will try to forma new Cabinet
out of the rotting remains of Mr.
Hardy's old one. But its downfall is
near at band.

Ma. TARTE recently visited France.
He had frequent conferences with
members of the French administration
while in Paris. He returns to Canada
and announces th a t he is aiFrenchman.
War breaks out between Great Brit-
ain and the Transvaal. Mr. Chamber-
lain politely intimates to the Canadian
Government, of evhich Mr. Tarte is a
member, that a few troops from Can-
ada would be appreciated by the
mother country. Mr. Tarte refuses to
agree to sending soldiers to fight for
the Empire. Yet he is allowed to re-
tain his portfolio in a Canadian cabi-
net. But his chief, Sir Wilfrid Laurier,
not so long' ago, when Canada itself
was having trouble with French half-
breeds, expressed a desire to shoulder
a rifle and shoot down the volunteers
sent to suppress the rebellion. It is
pertinent to enquire whether Mr.
Tarte's anti-British course is the result
of his visit to his mother country, and
whether it has Sir Wilfrid Laurier's
tacit approval.
Bystander Orr the Philippines
From the Weekly Sun.
Americans plead that the Philippines
having been put by the fortune of war
or, as the pious say, by Providence,
into their hands they are bound
not to give them up till they
have bestowed on them a good
government. The Philippines are
not in their bands. Nothing is in
their hands but Manila and a few
miles of country, adjoining. That
having, with their pension list, their
Congressional corruption, their Tam-
many, their Quay, their lynchings and
their Kentucky feuds, so limited a
measure of good Government them-
selves, they should still be willing to
spare a portion of it for the Filipinos
shows a sublime charity on their part.
What sort of a good government, is it?
A clergyman sent out by Bishop Doane
to report on the prospect of Protestant
missions at Manila, confirms previous
reports by describing that city as hav-
ing been turned by theAmericans into
a "hell -hole" of saloons, gambling
houses and brothels. It may be said
that this is the accidental consequence
of military occupation. Even so, it
would be rather a serious drawback to
th ein troduction of good governmen t. In
fact,however,it is in a great degree not
accidental, bu t the natural consequence
of contact between a conquering and a
conquered race. Civilians would be an -
der even less restraint than those who
are subject to military discipline. The
British Government, in Inaia has abso-
lute power and is supported by a civil
service infinitely superior to anything
which it is possible for the Americans
to extemporize, probably even ever to
create. Yet it cannot prevent the com-
mission of naany outrages by private
soldiers and other Europeans of the
common sort en the natives, while the
proportion of its soldiers passing
through the hospital from the effects
of vicious indulgences to which they
are tempted by their corn =rid of na-
tive women is painfully large, and the
Govern rn en t, opeless of combating tbe
evil, is fain to content itself vvithregu-
lation.
The American commonwealth has
hitherto rested morally on a double
basis. Oue basis has been religion
which was the original foundatimathe
other has been the code of human right
embodied in the Declaration of Inde-
pendence. Religion,though still retain-
ing its hold, and even flourishing, at all
events in the Pastern States, as asocial
' organization; is manifestly losing its in.
fluence over American , character and
life, The principles or human right em-
bodied in the Declavation of Independ-
ence are now being given to the winds
and are euperceded by an exaltation of
force rivalling ill cyniciern and outvie-
frig in brutality of expression the
jingoism of any predatory power of
old world. On what moral basis is the
Amm
American commonwealth hencefor-
vvard to rest? Able and thoughful
Americans, like the President of Cor-
nell tniversity, wotild,surely be better
employed, if instead of giving their
minds to the construction of a politi-
eal edifice in the Philippines, they
were migaged in considering the menus
of under pinning their own, That the

The Temporary Arrangement Re-
garding the Alaska Boundary,
Washington, 0 et. 18.----Immedi ate-
ly upon Secretary Tray's return yes-
terday preparations began at the
State Department for the completion
of the modus vivendi relative to the
Alaskan boundary. Gen. Foster was
hard at work upon the details of the
modus, and the expectation was that
in the course of a, day or two' the
agreement would be in effect. The
negotiations of late have been en-
tirely in the hands of Secretary Tray
and Mr. Tower, tbp British' Charge
d'Affaires. It has not been determin-
ed whether the agreement defining
the boundary temporarily shall take
the form of a document signed by
both parties, Or be merely a series
of notes, but in either case it will be
just as effective as a regular modus
vivendi, binding both parties to ob-
serve the boundary laid down tempo-
rarily.
