SEPTEMBER 20, 1888. Senator Sherman's Speech.

Our of the babel of threats and taunts

and bluster and humbug at Washington,

It is pleasing to

man, crying ** peace.” hear, amidst the confusion, this single note. We have no doubt that it is in accord with the thoughtful and Christian element in the States. The pity is that that element

is, apparently, so very small.

It is kind of Senator Sherman to wish that Canada should share in the ** prosperity and blessings of the American Union.”

The much-abused Canadians well know how

to appreciate the Senator's sympathy. Unfortunately, the leading men of the States have not been in

fluenced by such statesmanlike views and

noble sentiments as those to which he has

given utterance. If they had but permitted the Reciprocity Treaty of 1854 to remain in operation, the British North American colonies would not have become confederat- ed: if they had not exhibited an unfriend- ly spirit at the time of the first rebellion in

the North-west it is possible that our tren

continental railways would not yet have

Sir John on Retaliation.

THE PREMIER TELLS THE AMERICNN CORRES- PONDENT SOM# WHOLESOME TRUTHS —CAN- ADA WILL YIELD NO MORE POINTS TO THE UNITED STALES—THE GOVERNMENT WILL WAIL QUIETLY FOR THE NEXT MOVE.

The New York Sun of the 16th prints the following :—

‘‘Orrawa, Sept. 15.--I had a talk to-day with the Prime Minister of Canada, Sir John Macdonald, G. C. B. He has been in office almost forty-seven years, and is closely alhed by many ties with the British Government, and is as absolutely the ruler of Canada as any man can be under the English constitu- tional system. Sir John isin hearty accord with Lord Salisbury in every way.

A POLISHED MAN.

The Canadian Premier is nearly six feet in height and has a singularly suave and polish- ed manner. In this he resembles most public men of recognized position and power. It is only the scrubs whoare snobbish. Sir John’s likeness to the late Lord Beaconstield would be perfect if he would cultivate a chin whisker. He has the same heavy droop ol the eye, the strong lines about the mouth. and the perfect amiability which characterized England's extraordinary Jew.

IN A NUTSHELL,

Sir John put the matter in a nu‘-shell in our talk; he said: ‘* There is no necessiby for immediate fear, despite the warlike talk that is occasionally indulged in. Such talk is humorous, but not alarming. There are on or two potuts that it may be as weil to eluci date. In the first place, the Canadian Gov ernment will act for itself.”

\ CANARD NAILED.

“ There is no truth in the widely published

statement that the English Government pet

cation would have ran North and South instead of East and West; and that the two people would have become so intimate an cordial in their commercial relations t'rat a | D ical union could not have been avoided Bat having by their own acts and deeds thrown as off, forced us to unite among ourselves, compelled us to expend millions in the development of railways and canals,

having maintained an attitude of hostility and jealousy, having treated us with unfair- ness oft repeated,—it will take more than words, however friendly and seductive, to induce the people of Canada to put their trust in the powers that be at Washington or permit them to rule over the destinies of this country.

It

the United states would accord us different the States

may be urged that the politicians of J treatment if Canada and were

politically united. But it is not reasonsble

to expect just and kindly treatment, after have and unkind before union.

On

union, from those who been unjust the whole, the people of Canada would like to deal in a fair, free and friend- ly way with the people of the States. But they prefer to remain politically independ- If,

however, the people of the States would

ent under the flag of Great Britain,

like tu enjoy the political freedom and jus- tice to be ubtained from British institutions, doubt that terms of union might be arranged, — guarantees being taken

~The selection of Mr. R. S. White to re- present the constituency of Cardwell, is a matter for congratulation in the Upper! Provinces, where Mr. White is personally known. Even The Globe (seeing that there is no hope of defeating him) admits that he is a “‘good fellow.” As the editor of the Montreal Gazette (since the retirement of his father), Mr, White has become inti- mately acquainted with the political situa- tion of Canada, He is a young man of power and character, and as a legislator, will, no doubt, win for himself a position as high and honorable as that held by his lamented father.

An encyclical letter fromthe Pope re- commends that a requiem mass be held on the last Sunday in September in com- memoration of the 50th auniversary of His Holiness’ ordination to the priesthood.

The story comes from Los Angeles of the burning of a young squaw by Mojave In- disns because she was accused of practising vitcheraft. The scene of the torture was near the Colorado river, near the eastern end of St. Bornardine county.

Phe total salmon pack in Alaska is 7,000 eases. The winter is setting in at Silver Uw basin and mining operations have been suspended. The news from Berner Buh is gratifying, a free gold deposit 15 feet in with has recently been developed. Word has been received from Onalaska that it 1s unlikely any seizure of fishing schooners will be made this year.

Mr. Ruskin dislikes foreign translators, and not long ago wrote a letter telling 4 min who asked permission to translate his works to tetth®8m alone. He thinks that every nation has enough good authors to occupy its thoughts, and that men who want to understand authors outside their own land would better learn the language ofthe author they wish to read; they will not be so likely to misunderstand him.

Mr. Graham, agent of the Canadian Government in Scotland, is visiting Storno- way and neighboring islands, under Sir Charles Tupper’s directions, to approve, on behalf of the Government, a number of Crofter families who will emigrate to Mani- teba next sprivg. The emigrants will re- ceive money grants from the Imperial Gov- ernment, and be placed on free gran‘, lands, similar to the Crofters who settled last May. Great care will be taken to select only suitable families.

The tidings of the murder of Stanley’s Chief Lieutenant, Major Bartellot, created s great sensation in London. The news that Tippoo Tib was sulking at his dwn home, Nyangwe, which is 300 miles south of Stanley Falis, and away from the line of the relief route wherethe news of Bartellot’s murder wak despatched, raises suspicion that Tippoo Tib knows that Stanley is be- yond the help of a rescuing party. Young Bartellot was a very clever and energetic officer, with a distinct vocation for advyen-. tures, hut possessed of a most arrogant manner with his inferiors and full of the notion that the matives could only be man- aged by shouting on the spot the first who showed signs of discontent. It was this

THE POLICY OF THE GOVERNMENT.

‘* May Lask,” I said, ‘‘ what the policy of the Government will be ?”

I had no idea that Sir John would answer the question, and he sat for some moments looking intently at the blotter on his desk, then he said quickly:

‘** The policy of the Canadian Government will be to await developments in the United

States. By this 1 mean that the only ques- tion from which trouble can arise relates to the fishing. The fishing season has just

closed and it will not open again till May. In other words, it will be fully eight months before the United States will have any chance to brivg up that question again. Until that time we will do absolutely nothing unless President Cleveland makes some unexpected move, which is not probable, even if the Senate should grant him the asked-for power. Nothing can come of all the present discussion, therefore, for eight months, and before the ex- piration of that time things may have assumed a quieter aspect.”

sir John then talked for some time on American politics. Like most of the promi nent Canadians, he is actively interested and thoroughly well informed as to political move- ments in the United States.

THR FEELING THE STATES

‘*The feeling toward the United States,” continued Sir John, ‘‘is not unfriendly, but it is to be remembered that we have giver much to the States, one thing after another, under the several treaties. We do not fee! that this can go on forever. I think thai the treaty of last year, generally known as the Chamberlain Treaty, was, in the main, fair and decisive. I have no hesitation in saying that if politics had not interfered, the United States must have come to the con clusion by this time that it had made a first- rate bargain by that treaty. In that measure, however, the utmost limit of concession was reached. We can go no further, and now the treaty has been set aside, the whole matter fails back on the Treaty of 1818, as far as the fisheries part of the dispute isconcerned, The Convention of 1818 has been admitted by both Governments as arecognized indisput- able basis. There can be no further discvs- sion concerning it. Diplomacy bas utterly failed to convince the United States of the advisability of adopting the more recent treaty.”

TUE EFFECT OF RETALIATION.

“ What would the effect on Canada be if the retaliation measures were fully carried out?”

‘* Phe Grand Trunk railway will suffer to a certain extent, because its eastern terminus is in Portland and its western terminus in Chi- cago, but many of the other roads inay be built up by the increase of trade diverted to chem. As the matter stands now, the Presi- dent must earry out his threats or lose his hold upon the voters, One good effect haa been subserved by the recent action of Mr. Cleveland, that is the marked growth of united sentiment among Canadians. There is a feeling now in Canada that we have been thrown upon our own resources and that we must be more self-reliant.”

TOWARD UNITED

The number of women who are engag- ed upon seme specific employment in Great Britain and the United States is remarkable and is annually increasing. in the United Kingdom it is estimated that there are five millions of women and girls who are regularly engaged in vari- ous trades and professions. In the city of New York the interests of the women- are already engaging special attention, and a number of prominent citizens are pro- moting the organization of an association partaking of the features of both the labor union and employment bureau.

A young lady named Miss McDonald, of Durham, Ont., an only and orphan child, with considerabie property coming to her at an early date, was to have been married to Edward Bryan, a worthy swain of Var- ney. He visited Durham to get a license and a clergyman, but only reached his home two hours after the minister left. In the meantime the bride to be, annoyed by his delay, had gone off with the groomsman. In spite of all entreaty she would not come back, and surrendered the dress and shoes which the intended bridegroom claimed as his property. The next day the groomsman und the bride were married at Hanover.

Technical Education.

Lord Armstrong, the inventor of the Armstrong gun, the head of the great iron working firm of Armstrong & Company, and, therefore, one of the marshals ot Eng- land’s industrial army, has in a recent article in the Nineteenth Century on tech- nica! education, dune a good deal to remove the charge uf vagueness which he himself brings against the advocates of this new departure. The standpoint from which the great gun-maker discusses the question is purely a utilitarian one, and, naturally, his views are somewhat affected by the fact that he is an emyloyer of many work- ing men. While accepting Lord Salis- bury’s axiom that as man’s first duty 1s to work, therefore the first object of his edu- cation isto fit him for the work, Lord Armstrong totally disagrees with the Brit- ish Premier and nearly all others who have advocated secondary ‘technical ,education, and assert that itfis the primaryjeducation

which should be mechanical, and which should fit a man _ for his work. He considers that the fault of the

British system of primary education—and what he says applies as well to Canada as to Britain—is that it endeavors to give in- struction in knowledge rather than to train the faculties. ‘* A man’s success in life depends incomparably more upon his capa- city for useful action than upon his acquire- ments in knowledge,” and, therefore, in Lord Armstrong’s opinion, the primary schools should teach reading, writing, drawing and arithmetic, which are ali means to an end; they should endeavor to train and develop the hand, the eye, the ear, the memory and the powers of judg- ing; and the physical well-being of the child should be as dear to the teacher and as much regraded by the system as the mental. He does not consider that it would be advisable to attempt to teach a trade in school, a trade can be best learned in the shop, but he would have all the child’s faculties, or, at any event, all those which are of commercial importance to him, trained in the school. It is, as he points out, manual skill which makes the good workman; and the foreman, the man who must have some knowledge of the scientific principle underlying his work, must win his spurs by his manual skill. In his opinion, therefore, the number of persons who will, in a purely commercial sense, be benefited by a sesondary scientitic educa- tion is small, while the whule nation would be greatly benefited by a system of primary education that would draw out man’s pow- ers of observation and operation.

An American on Home Rule.

Professor H. Newell Martin, of Johns Hopkins university Baltimore who has been spending; the summer in England devoting much time tothe Irish question, has returaed home. The professor draws these conclusions from his observations : ** Among college men whom I met iu Eng- land over a year ago voting the tory ticket at elections, a complete revulsion of senti- ment has set in. This change comes from the failure of the tories to effect pacification of Ireland. Some of them say that if Balfour cannat effect this by the time of the dissvlution of parliament they will vote for home rule and others say that they have done forever with the tory party. English papers have been fullof the in- quest upon the death of Mandeville from cruelties in Tullamore jail, and this with the failure of the present dominant party after boasting they would succeed in settling the Irish questioa without either coercion or home rule, has had a marked effect among those I met. The minds of anti-home rulers seem incapable of grasping the fact that we inthis country have 38 states indisscluably connected, with each state controling its own affairs. They pre- dict that home rule in Jreland will result in the downfall of the empire.”

Celery is an article of food that is coming more into favor as its medicinal properties come to light. Are you nervous, irritable, or out of sorts? Do not, I pray you, fly to quack mixtures, or destroy the nervous ays. tem by 8 too liberal use of the pipe or cigar, ‘Come, let us reason together.” Throw your medicine to the dogs; the loss of a stray canine or two would not be missed in our now over-populated dog life. Are you a smoker ? Throw your black poisonous saturated pipe in a tub to soak, and for one month bid good-bye to medicine and pipe, and try a judicious, systematic use of Gay's pure white celery, (unadulturated, as nature provides), and if you are not benefited by the experiment there must be something radically wrong in your composition.
