For very many years a, certain feel-
ing has existed to Canada that there
should be no contingency provided for
by Her Majesty, Queen Victoria
against possible war. The feeling, or
rather discontent, in this direction, has
always been froin personal motives
by the individual rather than from a
pure desire to benefit mankind, Human
nature, in the majorityofcases, asserts
itself and controls the individual, We
have a case in point, that of James
Howell, as far back as 1694, one of the
moat pleasing writers, of his day. He
was a scholar, changed his climate and
diet, but not Ilia mind. Re received
his edacatiou in Hereford and Oxford
and spent it good portion of his clays in
Holland, Flanders, France, Spain and
Italy. Once Howell, while in Venice,
wrote ;-
"Though it be doubtful whether I
carry about me the sauce body or no
in all points that I had in England, I
ata well assured I beat• still the same
mind, and therein I verify the old
verse: -
"The air, but not the ailed, they change,
Who in outlandish countries range."
For eighteen years or more our town
contemporary hits been living in itn
"outlandish country," but with it
change of Govern menehas notchanged
his mind on military matters. Arid
still the present Laurier Government
is of his choice. James Howell's words
are a sttiking illustration. The writ-
er is aware that as far back as 1881 the
New Era editorially spoke disrespect-
fully of the Canadian Militia and itdvo-
cated its abolition, so that we have the
proof that tine mind of the writerof that
paper has not chauged even In the year
A. D. 1897. And we need not refvr an-
terior to give further proof to show
that such. treasonable utterances as
voiced by our cotem. later in 1897 are a
recantation now any more than we
could believe the Indian fly to be a fox,
or China birds to be as big as horses, or
mice to be its big its monkeys, or to be-
lieve the tale of the ancient traveller
wh,oQreported that he had seen it cab-
bage under whose heaves a whole regi-
ment of trained soldiers were sheltered
from it shower of rain Such writers
do not change their minds, although
their writings may he enwrapped in
false and insecure beliefs.
That, our Militia could possibly be
abolished at tht. present, tine is folly
to argue, That the Militia will ever
cease to the end of tithe is hard to say,
and if we take His Lurdship the Bishop
of Huron's sermon in Clinton last Sun-
da night,
as a criterion neither can
we atfoidto depend on our totem's at-
gument; nor even if we go back to the
sixteenth century and find such it noble
and good ratan as John Earle "whom
Goch bad blessed with rnore innocent
wisdom, more sanctified leavniug, or a
more pious, peaceable, primitive tem-
per," and who was chaplain and tutor
to Prince Charles and went into exile

prived. of his whole property for his
adherence to the royal cause. Or later
still, in 1713, when we find a portion of
Canada ceded to Great Britain. The
British Militia was the cause of the
power which was crowned with suc-
cess. And the same Military Power
and Victory follows down througli
succeeding years tip to the present
time; To be brief, we might merely
mention the historical Cornwallis as he
sailed rip Chebucto Bay on that bright
June morning -a century and a halt
since -and reached what is now
known as the capital of the Acadia of
the French regime. As a result of the
Militia it foriiis to -day the one impor-
tant, distinctive, inseparable and con-
necting link between this and the
Motherland. There, once, was the re-
sidence of the revered Dnke of Kent,
father of Queen Victoria, and to -day
the distiuctive feature of the city is its
military and naval character. Here
