GOVERNOR ABOUT IT.

WHAT THE GENERAL SAYS

In the course of his speech before the National Club of Toronto Lord Lansdowne said :—

‘““To those who believe, as most of us no doubt do, that we are bound, not only by con- siderations of self-interest, but by the close ties of kinship and origin, which unite us to our brethren on the other side of the frontier, to cultivate the most neighborly and amicable relations with them, it must be a source of pain, I would almost say of humiliation, that we should for so many months have been un- able to adjust a dispute which, although not without its local importance, is after all not one of first rate magnitude. Upon the other hand it is, I think, satisfactory to know that throughout these intricate transactions we have kept in line with and been well sustain- ed by the Imperial Government, and that upon uo material point affecting any principle of importancet have “any substantial difier- ences of opinion arisen between us and it. It is also satisfactory to note that both your Government and that of the mother country have from the first shown an earnest desire to mitigate the intensity of the differences which have arisen and to facilitate their sett!ement. (Applause.) In spite of all that has happen- ed | may say, and I speak with some know- ledge of the facts, that both Governments have shown the greatest anxiety to avoid any local action likely to increase the tension of feeling existing upon the spot. I may be asked, how do you reconcile this statement with the fact that there have been so many cases of remonstrance against our conduct in enforcing our treaty rights upon the Atlantic seaboard ? My answer to that is that I am surprised, not that there should have been so much friction upon the spot, but that there should have been so little. The case is emi- nently one in which each side ought to make some allowance for the other. There have, no doubt, been a number of cases in which there have been complaints and recriminations. If, however, there is irtitation among _ the New England tishermen, we must not forget that the circumstances of the case render such irritation perfectly natural, and that we have to deal with a large body of men, who for many years past, have been in the habit of resorting to our waters without hindrance,and who, not from any fault of ours, or, indeed, of their own, find themselves suddenly excluded from privileges valuable to themselves and hitherto exercised in the most restrained man- ner, and who not unnaturally resent any in- terference with the exercise of an industry which they have pursued so long without restriction. If, on the one hand, there is ir- ritation amongst vur people in the Maritime Provinces, let it not be forgotten that this is the second occasion upon which our commer- cial arrangements have been dislocated by the abrogation of treaties between ourselves and our neighbors. (Applause.) were terminable, and we have no right to complain if they have been put an end to. On the other hand, let not our neighbors com- plain of us if, in the face of such action on their part, we are driven to take steps for the protection of rights secured to us by treaty and forming a valuable portion of the national estate. (Renewed applause.) Any govern- ment which did not Aofthis would be culpable, and no government has shown itself more alive to responsibilities of this kind than that of our neighbors. (Hear, hear.) If each side will approach the question in a moderate spirit and with the determination to make some al- lowance for the difficulties of the other, I feel that we need have no apprehension of the re- sult. For more than fifty years we have been at peace with our neighbors. During that time there have been moments of tension such as that through which we are passing. Such moments occurred in connection with the Foreign Enlistment Act in 1856, and again at the time of the Trent affair, five years later, and once more when the Alabama difficulty arose four years afterwards. In all these cases there was a temporary estrangement and bitterness, and in all of them wise councils

ultimately __ prevailed. To-day those who are most familiar with public feeling in the States all agree in

believing that amongst the most thoughtful and trustworthy and intelligent classes there are steadily growing up sentiments of in- creased good will towards the British Empire. (Applause.) I do not believe that the devel- opment of those seutiments will be arrested by what is now taking place. It may occa- sionally happen that our harmony is in appear- ance or for the time checked and interrupted, that some question arises between the two nations, perhaps trivial in itself, but sufficient —either on account of its special surronnd- ings, or because of the local interests and pre- judices which are involved—to occasion a conflict of opinion, limited and restricted to that question, and not extending beyond it. There was a time when such differences might have been regarded with apprehensions as likely to lead to a wider and more general divergence of opinion, or to a lasting estrange- ment between the two countries. This is not sonow. The great mass of public feeling on the other side of the Atlantic is, I believe, completely sound, and these pussing quarrels will do no more than ruffle the surface, be- neath which there flows an ever-broadening stream of mutual friendship and good will. (Loud applause.) Each side will, at any rate, do well to remember the admirable precept expressed by an American poet, and so to conduct itself that its opponents may not be able to quote against it the words :—

“You're riled just now, best proof your canse ain’t strong ; The one that first gets mad’s jist allus wrong.”

Those treaties /

The Highlanders and Lowlanders.

By Philip Gilbert Hamerton.

They are spoken of equally as Scotch, yet the difference is not less marked, in reality, than if they were sepurate nations. Che Highlanders still retain (or did retain when I knew them) many of the character- istics of a social state from which the Lowlanders have jong since emerged. They were noble rather than industrial in their tastes and instincts, disposed for field sports more than for the improvement of their condition than by labor. Dr. Mac- culloch’s description of their inertia at the beginning of the century was stiil applic- able. The people did not move, of them- selves, toward a better condition; they had not the spirit of improvement. They were surrounded, it is true, by natural circum- stances of seme difficulty, especially those caused by the severity of the climate, but they were far from making the most of such opportunities as they possessed. For example, in gardening, they did not grow, and they could not be induced to grow, the vegetables which the climate allows, even though the want of them brought on scu- vey. Their habitations were wanting in every comfort, being almost in the lowest stage of cottage-building, irregular walls of rude stone, with a smail hole (glazed, how- ever) for a window and a low thatch, the fire very commonly on the floor, and the pest-reek escaping through an opening in the roof. Three was no spirit of enterprise to improve the ground about the habita- tions, or to make communication when the public road (due to English military energy) did not happen to be close at hand. In a word, there was nothing of that fruitful discontent which leads the advancing races to incessant improvements. Without the neighborhood of the Lowland Scotch, and the visits of the English, the Highlanders would certainly have remained in a very early stage of civilization. That early stage has its qualities and merits. The High- landers have good manners. Poor or rich, they are naturally gentlemen, and they show a fine endurance of hardship which, from the stoic and heroic side, is evidently superior to the love of luxury that develops itself so wonderfully in the south.

On the other hand, it is not the High- landers, but the Lowland Scotch, who have made the name of Scotland great. It is they who have made the land famous as a leader in literature, with a certain dis- tinction in the fine arts, and a considerable emjnence in science, and a very great and notable eminence in all industrial pursuits. The Lowlanders have written the famous books, and built the great fleets of ocean- going steamers. It is they who made Edinburgh a capital of intelligence, and Glasgow a capital of industry. The High- land race had nothing but its valor and a few legendary poems ; no architecture be- yond the building of a few rude small cas- tles, no arts beyond the design of a brooch or the arrangement of the crossing stripes in a plaid.—May atlanti.

ee Sun and Rain.

Could we but utilize all the water power lifted from the ocean by the sunbeams and wafted by the zephyrs over the land, what vast factories might be run. What magni- fied Niagaras might we create. In a recent paper to the Royal Society of Edinburgh, Mr. John Murray sought to give the world’s rainfall in figures. The areas of country having an inland drainage, equal to 11,486,- 350 square miles, receive 2,243 cubic miles of rain yearly. The total areas draining directly to the ocean equal 44,241,000 square miles, of which 38,829,750 square miles have more than ten inches of annual rainfall, and discharge into the sea 6,569 cubic miles of water each year. By these means rather more than 5,000,000,000 tons of solids are carried to the ocean annually,

A man died of starvation recently in a Liverpool, Eng., prison. He was arrested for alleged drunkenness and died during the night in his cell. The sapient officer who ran him in was astonished on being informed by his police doctor that the man had died of starvation and that he was ex- hausted and not drunk when arrested.

Philadelphia girls are odd. Not long ago one of them fell in love with and mar- ried a living skeleton who was on exhibi- tion there, and now another one has mar- ried a bald-headed fortune teller who has po roof to his mouth and twists himself out of shape when he tries to talk.
