It le true that Canada is mistress in
bee own house. ae elle is never tired of
telling us. But her house is so near
to our awn that we cannot ignore the
danger that threatens it. "Tune tun
res agitur. paries cum proximus ar-
det,'t and we ourselves shall be in-
volved in the general conitagratiou.
Nevertheless, we are powerless to
move. We cannot insist on a reform
of the Canadian militia, though we
cannot forget that a misfortune which
falls upon Canada fulls upon ue. In-
deed we can do no more than point
out the risk which the Dominion is
now running. Though her long fron-
tier is unguarded, she will pay no more
than half a crown a bead for the pur-
pose of military defence; and while
she depends upon England to protect
her in time of Aline, she will not treat
England's soldiers with forbearance or
respect. Our warehipacould and Would
defend her coasta, but we demand of
her that she should do her share on
land, and apparently we demand in
vain.
What, then, does Canada need for
her own protection ? Annan perman-
ent force, which should be ready to
strike anywhere and at short notice.
If an invasion was repelled for a
month, we should yet have time to
transport an army across the sea. But
it the Americans were permitted to
enter Canada unmolested, it might
take us years to drive them out. And
though the problem is slinple enough,
Canada declines to solve it. As we
have eald, she is a prey to the inordin-
ate, if amiable, vanity which over-
takes young peoples. She believes
herself unvanquished and invincible.
In her foolish security she deems the
details of guns and men dull and sor-
did. Who are the Americans that
they should dare to assallethe greatest
of the -British colonieee- If thereisto
be an annexation, surely the Cana-
dians will annex the United States.
Did they not beat them before, and
are theynot all the more ready to

e immediate cause of tbo quarrel
Dubtless misleading and lmma-
1. But it may be briefly recalled:
t Dundonald resented, with per -
reason, the interference of a Can-
n minister with a certain appoint -
1, and, being outspoken, as his il-
rious ancestor,he protested against
minister's action, on the ground
he was confusingLincs and
d!
tary administration.
;rnntent, on the other band, bit-
resented Lord Dundonald's pro-
, and having pointed out that, be -
merely its paid servant, he was
privileged to express an opinion,
(warily dismissed him. Sir Wil -
Laurier enhanced the amenity of
situation by declaring that the
eral officer commanding the militia
Canada was a "foreigner," ; and
d Dundonald has no option but to
Ltrn home.
,ace relieved of his command, the
:inguiehed officer had the right to
lain and justify his conduct. and
hes taken an informal farewell of
soldiers in a document which the
oa¢tfan ministers will read without
adore. Disagreement was. plainly
vitable from the first ; and even if
. Fisher, who holds the portfolio of
ricuiture, had not cancelled an
pointrnent made by Lord Dundon-
i, another cause of dispute would
uhtless have been found. In his elo-
ent apology Lord Dundonald de-
ires that he has retained the com-
tnd 80 long merely to benefit the
lids of Canada, but that all the
'orfs which he made to that end
ne rendered useless by the resolute
position of ministers. His reports
)re either garbled or suppressed • his
ggestions were heard without heed -
g ; and while the goyernment vin -
sated its own supremacy and inde-
edence, it allowed its militia to fall
to a state of miserable inefficiency.
sr his own part, ho asserts that be
is sedulously avoided the politics of
re Dominion; he has loyally attempt -
1 to rarry out the wishes of the gov-
vment ; and he merely demanded,
hat should be the right of every
rmmander—a free hand in the tech-
ical administration of his force.
ioreover, it is in ne spirit of selflsh-
ess that he makes bis protest,
Canada
he
Iters a final warning, r
'111 do well to accept in all serious-
essof heart. "It may be a matter
f indifference to some," says he,
'whether the militia lacks guns, rifles,
=munition, equipment and all that is
lecessary to make a fighting force
lilcient. It tray he a matter of in-
iifference to some whether the great
iorthwest, with its splendid fighting
naterial, he left in a defenceless state
vithotit guns, with patriotic otters to
organize urgently needed corps ignor-
el. , But. . . . I desire here em-
shatirally to warn the people of Can -
uta. that, though they 'nay he indeht-
.d for the integrity of their territory,
and, indeed, for their national existen-
ce, to the forbearance of others, they
are, as regards their preparation for
war and their state of readiness to re-
sist aggression, living in a fool's par-
adise. Lord Dundonald, at any rate,
has trade an effective protest ; it re-
mains to be seen whether the Can-
adians will profit by it.
We fear it is unlikely, for at the out-
set they asserted themselves with an
undue severity. The order in council,
which relieved Lord Dundonald Of his
command, regi *t t Fd that that officer
failed "iso appreciate the principles of
British constitutional government."
in other words, the Canadian minister-
reserve to themselves a right, which
would never be exercised in England,
of interfering with a soldier in the
simple exercisee of his duty. "Lord
Dundonald's recommendation," says
the order in council, "of any gentle-
man for appointment as an officer of
the militia would in itself have no
force or effect." There is a singular
ndyantirge in this plain speaking, be-
cause it will reveal to English soldiers
what amount. of sympathy they may
expect, in Canada. That Lord Dun -
done id was guilty of a breach of dis-
ciple*. we are willing to allow. He
was technically wrong when he utter-
ed his compialnt• But complaint was
necessary ; and no more can be said
than that he would have. been more
wisely guided had he resigned first and
complained afterwards. On the other
hand it Is .I iffirult to find any excuse
for the ('anarlien ministers, whose
high-handed action made compromise
impossible. We may readily grant
that the situation was delicate.
Statesmen art' as jealous of their power
as soldiers are of their independence.

Hark Twain at one time in his early
career T�tis a characteristically impe-
cunious reporter. Ono 'day be had a
note to meet, but labored under a total
lack of fundi. Half distracted. he was
rushing around San Francisco in a
feverish hunt for enough cash to tido
him over the trying time. Be rushed
a little too quickly, however, for as he
was turning a corner he collided with a
little man and overthrew him. The vic-
tim regained his feet and yelled. 'You
do that again and I'll knock you into
the middle of next week." "My dear
air, said the apologetic humorist. "do
it by all means. If I can get through
till thea without breaking I'm safe."
She originality of this reply struck the
stranger, who, after some talk, hand-
ed Mark a check for the necessary
amount.
Meanwhile, though, in Lord Dun-
donald's words, Canada is living in a
fool's paradise, she will do little or
nothing to help herself. She declines
to pay taxes for her own defence, and
she is satisfied that the nucleus of her
army should be a training school.
And, worse than all, she has allowed
politics to play their part in a matter
which should be above and beyond
politics. Now, when the administra-
tion of an army is perplexed by polit-
ical considerations, there is an end of
discipline and efficiency. There is
only one motive which should influ-
ence the government of an army, and
that is merit. Where policy is per-
mitted to intervene, there you get in-
trigue and incapacity. During the
last few years we have witnessed a
crisis in France, which was brought
about merely because Paris confused
the conduct of the French army with
the inveterate bitterness of party poli-
tics ; and we throw our opportunity
nu`aV if we take no warning by • the
experience of our neighbors. How-
ever, we have done our best and failed;
henceforth the Canadian militia must
he commanded by a Canadian: it will
be our fate to prepare for the defence
of a colony over whose military or-
ganization we have no control; and
even the loyal Northwest is powerless
to support us. The patriotism which
expresses itself in toasts and anthems
is well enough; we are grateful for the
aid which the faithful Canadians gave
ue in South Africa; but we should be
better pleased if we thought that our
fellow -citizens across the sea recogniz-
ed the dagger of their situation, and
were resolved to face the responsibili-
ties which that situation implies. And
if the public protest of Lord Dundon-
ald reminde the Canadians of the om-
inous risk they run, it will not have
been made in vain.

Huron journalism :

Five Months for a quar-
ter seems ridiculous, but
that's the price to NEW

we do it ? It is simple—
we make no money—sub-

THE STAR will contin-

no such value has ever before been offered.
