Some years ago leading American writers suggested a military des- po.iein as the possible regnant power in the United States. This was received with incredulity as the views of ovet sensitive alarmists. But the recent calling out of fhb military, state and. national, to .Bell disturbauces and Preserve life and piopecty is four Slates of the TJ iun gives a tinge of probability to the alar foist predictions. Even Oat leading Atneric in journal the N w Y ark Slue ii forced to di.- ceurso of the trend of American af- fair in a vuiu anything but hopeful of the liberties of the people. "It is •a suggestive thought," nays taint paper, "that iu this free Republic:, under this government nt of the pro iu this age of pr.)gte.ss, and enlightenment, nothing stands be- tween society and actual anarchy exc;'pt the fear of the military power," Anti this is the awash - buckler that proposes to emauciliat0. Canadians from the "tyramuy" of British institutions by annexing us to a country where "nothing stands between society and act'1al anarchy except the fear of the military power." And the military power of the Yankees has been doing good work the past few weeks tin stand- ing between society and anarchy even though that good work has been performed at the expense of scores of human Hyatt. But what a comment this state of things is upon thatcountry whose people have subscribed hundreds of thousauds of dollars to aid anarchy in Ireland and to resist "coercion", by the police or military, of society in a foreign country. "Coercion" is dtst.tsteful to the Yaukees when a resort to it it necessary in a foreign couu:.ry, but it is preivervorthy when it is used in Yaukeedom to stand between society and actual anaichy. Cenadiaue should prize our own beneficent iustitutione under which every oue can work and worship under his own vino and fig tree, none to hinder him ; and thank God we are not as the other fellows are in the other half of the continent to which we Le - long. CA. NADA, ANL) 1'IIE G'A11 AL 'ULI,S. It is refreshing amid the crash of ruin that seers to surround the partisan Grit portion of the Reform press to fiud the generally British adien-toned Galt Reformer taking a fair view of the 41ktaud taken by the Canadian Government in the canals affair, which should not be and is not a party affair at all. The Reformer says :— " So far ae political union is con warned. the petty course of the pros eat \Vashiugtuu governuteut to- wards Canada, cotnbiued with events happening throughout the Republic, is fast making every self respecting Canadian united and strong against any such policy. \Ve complain of political evils in Canada. We do not minimize these, and it is our duty to tight for their reform. Bat they are yet sm ill compered with the evils and dangers rapidly ripouing in the llni:e;1 Slates. Many thoughtful Americans view the tutui'e of their country with alarm, and its present condition seems to presage some dangerous convulsion if not speed- ily changed." Even the Wolof in a fitful moment of patriotic inspiration is forced to avknowlodge that there ie some good in Nazoretff; that 'the at. tempt to strike this blow at Canadian commerce is warranted neither by the present attitude of our Minis tars, nor by the whole course of international dealing with reference to canals and waterways.' We quote the Globe more fully :— ''Wo cannot look upon' the offer they (the Dominion Government) made as other than a fair one which ought to ,have been sdtfstac- tory to the United States. Assume for the sake of argument that both parties have violated the spirit of the Washington treaty, what could be more' reasonable that for the present both violations should be waived and the matter left in abey- ance,on the understanding theta eon- lerence should take place before the season of 1893, and an attempt made to settle the dispute on a fair basis '1 The attempt to strike this blow at Canadian commerce is warranted neither by the present attitude of our Minister's nor by the whole course of international dealing with refer-- enoe to canals and waterways. Can- ada a expenditure under this bead has been vastly greater than that of her neighbor. She has borne far more than her fair share of the cost of completing the noble system of navigation from the North-west to the Atlantic. With possibly this ex caption, she has thrown her canals open to the Americans and Cana- dians upon equal terms, while her shippers, have enjoyed no benefit whatever from the American State canals. It would bo folly to deny that the step which is to be taken will hurt an important Canadian in- terest, but to make any further con- cession in the face of this threat would be too great a sacrifice of our dignlv and self respect. ' EDITORIAL NOTE. Cholera is rauiug in continental Europe with fearful loss of life and has spread to Britain. In Deuver, Col., oue night recently during a thunder storm Gutlieb Myers, an infidel, stood on it street corner with several friends cumtnentiug upon the electric cur relate. Looking skyward he ex• claimed:—" There is uo God. Phis fear is all folly." , Hardly had he uttered the last words when a bolt of lightuing struck upon his head, and a few ulo'rnents later his dead body was carried home. This was a remarkable coincidence if not evidence of special divine in torpositiuu. Prink 11. F Nixat ,y vas married in Ifantilton, Ont., in March 1873. He has been living in Chicago since 1890, while' his wife resides in Toronto. He was granted a divorce the other day because his wife refuses to go to Chicago to live. Mr. Nixon gave the cause of Mrs. Nixon's positive refusal to come to Chicago as an inborn national hatred of British origin. She had boon reared in an atmos phere filled with antipathy towards the United States and all things American, and would under no circumstances consent to take up her abode under the stars and stripes. Many times had she, according to Nixon's statement, declared that she would never willingly even tit at the same table with au American, and the thought of being brought into "daily and hourly contact with repreaontativos of the despised rationality almost caused a physical panic. Those statements were corroborated by a witness. The Montreal Witness in referr- ing to the possible disturbance pf commercial trade relations between this country and the United 4ates says : "Being -the smaller and weak- er nation, we suffer most iu any collision." This is not necessarily so. Disparity in numbers will not account for failure or success in eith- er military or commercial warfare. A handful of British soldiers hold the millions of India through the adventitious aid of arms and the skill to use them. In the carrying trade from the West to the seaboard Can- ada, sinall though she is, has the adventitious aid of natural and im• proved highways tosuccessfully cope with tire Yankees. The Witness adds, "when the pot and the panni - kin clink, it is not the pannilcin that is bruised most perceptibly." Yes, it is generally the pot suffers most where each article is made of equally hard material. The little pannikiu has greater resistance than the larger surfaced pot and when they forcibly come into contact it is generally the inflated pot that is bursted. Hence the somewhat slangy expression to emphasise de- feat or destruction, "all smashed to pot." 1WITQRI•'4L Nora The Chicago Iter Ocean is in., tensely Amerieau and at no time apt to give itself away, Dot even in a moment of weakness. But it acknowledges that when the Cana• dian Soo Canal is completed "Canada can do as it pleases with the Welland Canal," And which Hon. John Haggart, our energetic Minister of Railways and Canals, is making a big push to have complet- ed next year. "A canal owned by the United Statee and in the United States territory is the oniy solution of the Welland Canal difficulty." And if practicable •at all it would take them 20 years at least to build it. Labouchere, M. P., the caustic editor of.London Truth, is a con• edited mixture of cynic, philosopher and buffoon. He is a supporter of Mr. Giadstone and expected to be taken into the Cabinet, but was not. He seems to hate the Queen, if his sneers and jibes at royalty aro au index of his feelings. Naturally ho thiuka the Queen hates him, and he blames her Majesty for -his not being in Mr. Gladstone's Cabinet. But Mr. Gladstone has written a letter stating that the Queen had nothing to do with his beiug left out. The ignorance of Mr. La- bouchere is about equvl to his van- ity. He is continually prating upon constitutional questioua and yet does not know that the moment the Queen' calls upon a Premier to form a Cabinet, from that moment the Premier is the tosponsible party. To say that he must form his Cabiuut at the dictates of her Majesty would be a suleciein as it would he reversing constitutional positions under British res,.onsible government iustitutious 'T'it nigh nominally obeying the (j'`iieen, the l'rt^tiller is her adviser while ho really obeys the well understood wishes of the people. Radicals Bite Libouehero who blather about the restriction of the tights of the people in governing matters don't seem to be aware that tho people al- ready enjoy the liberties which the Radicals make a pretence of secur- ing for them. It was not the Queen who rejected Mr. Ltbouchele as an oaviaer, but Premier Glad- stone who knows too well what a nuisance he would be. A IIURONITE ABROAD. Mr. W. F. Keys, of Stanley, writes Tire News-RecoRU from, Palmyra, Iowa. I suppose a few items in regard to crops would not be amiss. The crops in Central Illinois are almost a failure, will not realiz : more than half a crop on either wheat, corn or oats, while here in Iowa corn is good but oats only fair and wheat almost a total failure, Wheat is selling here for forty eight and fifty cents a bushel. If some of the Canadians who want to join countries would travel through lithe 1i. S. for a while) they would find there is as hard tunes in the land of the free as there is in Canada. They are doing considerable talk- ing about Ilarrisons retaliation bill but are beginning to shake the other way for fear the Canadians will re- taliate by draining the Georgian bay. I liave been through eight different states and have not seen anything to equal old Huron so fare Hoping that you will prosper in the work of ever holding to what is right in your noble paper.
