The enthusiasm at yesterday's Conservative convention was another indication, if such were needed, of the strong tide of public opinion favoring a change of government in this Prov- ince at the first opportunity. \\'llel1 that op- portunity will come rcmzlins to be seen. It is understood that Prclnicr Campbell is desirous of bringing on the provincial contest before the King (iovernlncnt goes to the country, and be-

how it shall govern itself internally. It is not an inlpertinence to have our own thoughts whether Spain represents a fundamental basis for anything that could reasonably be termed one internal goverment. It seems quite possible that any settlement made in the near future will only turn out to be a breathing space for tem- porarily exhausted antagonisms to rebuild their

one form 0f central government as under an- other. -

“Looking at it from a distance it is difficult to see in the Spanish situation hope for more than the loosest possible federation of at least three autonomous states, perhaps tnore.”

In view of this, it takes no seer or prophet t0 foretel the fate of centralization propaganda and

engineering in Canada, while the Spirit of Pro-

vincial independence remains in Quebec and elsewhere.

Their speech is different froln the Spaniards It is not a difference of dialect but a totally different language. liven in Spain their minds arc firmly turned to the north, to the sea and in the direction of their brother Basques in France rather than to inland Spain. They have hardly a habit or a thought in com; mon with the Slaauiards of the centre or the south.
