The Results of the Mission.
Tax Canadian Delegates sent from
this country to advance our, interests in
conference with tbe Imperial authorities
deserve all credit for their zealous efforts
in,the discharge of their most important
duties. That they left no argument out
of sight that could possibly benefit the
cause they advocated, is amply proven by
the complimentary tone of the British
Press. They accomplished much. Hith-
erto there has 'been in the toloda61 office
an incredible amount of ignorance to
the resources, wants and wishes of Canada
and its populations, and- by direct inter-
course our delegates have been_ able to
sweep away the cobwebs which have so
long bedimmed the visiodof well-meaning
but misled secretaries. Din liralty,. our
love for the °Id flag and the inkitations
which have been handed down to ns un-
tarnished through a long line of ancestors,
were, no doubt, set., forth .by the Cana-
- dian delegates- in a intiq eloquent and
impressive manner. The result is an
improved tone of feeling, and an appreci-
able rise in Canadian securities.
