[t is true that the Canadian Government did—as the Patriot points out—permit United States fishermen to have free use of vur fisheries during part of one seasoD,—~ they did so on a distinct understanding with the United States’ Government that a settlement of the fisheries difficulty would be proposed to Congress. This wasa proot ~a practical proof—that the policy of the Canadian Government respecting the fish- eries was conciliatory to the States, and not unreasonable or hostile. Tupper's unrestricted offer of reciprocity is a proof of the same disposition on the part of the Governinent, and the modus virendi itself ia stil! accther.
In point of fact, there is nothing hostile

or unconciliatory in the policy of the Cana- dian Government respecting the fisheries.

“a Handsome Monument. Tue Examiner's reporter called at the establishment of Messrs. Cairns & McLean, Kent Street, this forencon, and was shown the very handsome monument erected to the memory of the late William Haslam, Esq., of Springfield, Lot}67, by his personal and political friends. The monument is of artistic and the workmanship throughout is of a high order. Those of our cifi have subscribed to this fund should cail and see the monument be- fore it is removed to the Churchyard at Springfield.
The monument is nine feet six inches in height—from lower base to urn on top. The stone proper is of white marble and the bases of freestone. Onthe top of the monument is a draped urn, size two feet high by ten inches through. The two caps uuder the urn are nicely carved, as are also the four shields—ove on each side of
the dial. On the front shield is the in- scriptic n:
aesign,

z *“@minous and Unattractive.” _ Arthe Washington celebration in Chicago, ‘‘the Political Relations of the United States and Canada, from a Canadian Stand- point,” was discussed by Henry W. Darling of Toronto, who said :
ais . se > To th
oughtful Canadians the word ‘an- nexation’ has an ominous and unattractive ring, conveying to them an expression of fail- ure in the mission committed to them by their forefathers as to the future destiny of ir country—an impression that they are adopt- ing voluntarily in despair the only recourse open to them jf they are to escape irreparable disaster, or an impression ef coercion and force at which their nature revolts, and which they are bound to resist. :
‘] think I correctly describe the sentiments of Canadians when I say the word ‘ annexa- tion’ is distasteful to them. You would probably deagise them were it otherwise. The tie that binds them to the Mother- land ia a silver thread that can be broken practically at will; but their affection tor the land of their forefathers
is a feeling which is and always will British
be predominant in their breasts. rit Canadians cling to the glories and traditions efthe race, They hope to be able to preserve all the characteristics of England’s prosperous policy. They have neither sympathy with, nor encouragement Tor, the enemies of the British empire.
“They may be mistaken asto their ulti- mate destiny, and they may overestimate their ability to make the North American continent the home of a great and independent Anglo-Saxon race ; but it their political rela- tions are to be changed, it will come about as the natural sequence of events, and not purely as the result of an appeal to sordid or material considerations.
‘I can conceive of a policy of injustice to one of the provinces being carried to an extent that might produce a movement in favor of the separation of that province from the con- federation, with a view of union with tke United States; but such an agitation, if based upon righteous and equitable grounda, would be almost certain of accomplishing the removal of the injustice or the defeat of the party in power perpetrating it.”

The Cheapest Books Yet Published
J. Theo. Robinson, Montreal, has re- cently published some of the cheapest books offered to the readers of this or any other country. His edition of ‘John Ward, Preacher,” sold in England at 6s., and in the United States at $1.50, sells here at 25 ‘* John Bodewin’s Testimony,”
Zo cents ; one of the brightest stories of recent years, is issued at 30 cents ; ** The Battle of the Swash and Capture of Canada,” and under the same cover, Dr. G. W. Beer's cele- brated speech on ‘* Professional Annexa- tion,” is sold at 25 cents, the American ed- ition being just double that price. To-day is placed on the market, ‘“Mr. & Mrs. Morton” (292 pages) a novel which caused endless discussion in the United States, and speedily ran through five editions, This is to be sold at 30 cents, the Ameri- can edition having been held at 50. The Herald says of it :—‘* It has been more discussed than any other novel of recent years ; beautifully written ; unique in character ; the denoument startling.” These books are a marvel of cheapness, are well printed on good paper, and have attractive covers.

_statesmanlike discretion necessary in deal-
ticle in question rejects the supposition that the government came to terms with America, owing to Germany’s position in regard to France, and says: ‘* Neither under the present nor any other circum- stances would Germany have risked a rap- ture with America for such a bagatelle. The Samoan white-book shows that wher- ever the actions of German officials were repudiated, it was because the officials act- ed contrary to international law. The press criticisms evoked by the white-book were almost entirely directed against the excess of zeal displayed by the German agents, who appear to be lacking in the
ing with the situation. The Samoan re- ports show an endeavor to make German annexation or protection appear neces- gary. :
