THE DUKE OF CONNAUGHT

Alldoubt in regard to the Duke of Connaught's appointment as the next Governor General of Canada has been set at rest by the'public announce- ment in London and the formal no- tice sent to the Ottawa Government. The one unusual thing about the ap-

`pointment is that it is for two years

instead of the usual term of 'fl e years, but the shorter term can easi- ly be extended as the longer official term of several past Governors Gen- eral has been from time to time.

His Royal Highness is"the only

surviving son of the late Queen Vic- toria, brother of the late King Ed- ward tbe Peacemaker and uncle of His Majesty King George. These re- lationships each and all serve to en- denr him to the loyal Canadian peo- ple in advance of his coming to Can- ada and will ensure for him a very hearty welcome when he comes in September next. As the throne re- presents so much of what binds Can- ada to the Empire it may reasonably be hoped that a resident Governor General who is of royal blood may strengthen the bond which binds the Viiited Kingdom and the Dominion wsetl.1..ei‘,.

The one question of doubt as to the

fitness. of the appointment that has arisen in some minds has, however, to do with this very question of roy- al relationship. Canadians 'are a democratic people, unused to courts such as exist in Britain and. on the continent. lt is therefore somewhat reassuring to read in the Toronto

'witlf the representative of the Crow at the Canadian capital.”

AS GOVERNOR GENERAL.

'May 1, 1850, and will therefore be sixty-one years of age before he en- ters upon his omclal duties at Otta- wa. Trained as a soldier, he saw ac- tive service in Canada during the Fanian raid, and later served in a campaign in Egypt. Among the more important military commands he has held were those of Commander ofthe Bombay forces, Commander of the forces in Ireland, Inspector General and Commander-in-Chief of the Medi- terranean. The latter command he resigned two years ago- Althwsn military promotion may be thought to come easily to a Prince. the” is little reason to doubt that our com- ing Governor General is a caP8l>1€ and thorough soldier. ~ To some extent 'the al>l10i¥1i‘~I119l\l'» will add prggtige to`Janada as the foremost Dominion of the Empire and in the eyes of other nati0ns._ At least Canada is by it distinguished above all the other British nations over-sea, so far as the Home Gov- ernment had Power to do it ill this way. No doubt, too, the militarlf and naval forces of Canada will be pleased to have as the King's repre- sentative in Canada one Wl10 BBS seen service and gilllled high "Wk 3” connection with the military service of the Empire.

Almost beyond question the Duke

of Connaught will prove a constitu- tional Governor General. The good Queen, his mother, and the late King, his brother, were distinguished for their knowledge, skill, diplomacy and

Globp a perhaps semi-official an- tact as rulers, and the Duke is re- nouncement that "it is understoodlputed to possess in large measure there is no intention of establishing the same useful qualities. In such H royal 00"” in Cauadl His Higlriemployments military and civil as he ness will, like his predecessors, be a has hitherto been engaged in, and

As to the alleged prevalence of says: I

the same article we find this pass-

Government Printing Bureau. Down at Washington they do not need so many corkscrews, and are virtuous enough to drink their cdld tea from

0 '_ ‘ ' un ll ` `

certain poverty of invention - worthy of the massive intellects which contrived the purchasing cor- poration idea, but we draw the line at condoning 15,000 corkscrews. We blush for Canada, and we shall blush again if it pretends that the cork- screws were needed to draw the corks from ink bottles?

Once, long ago, there was an argu- ment between two Philosophers, De-' i mocritus and I-Ieraclitus by name, as llto the merits of their respective schools. The first-named summed up the situation in the sentence, "The world is ridiculous and I laugh at lt; it is deplorable and thou lamentest lover it." Whether the laughing or ‘the weeping philosopher was the wis- Ier we leave our readers to judge. And as to graft, however deplorable its existence may be, it too has sometimes its ridiculous features.

RECIPROCITY AT OTTAWA.

1 The Government and the Opposi- tion as well in the Canadian Parlia- ment are disposed to move slowly in the matter of endorsing the recipro- city agreement. The reasons for this course are sufficiently obvious and convincing. The debate stands ad- journed. Washington must‘take acl tion to accept or reject the agree-

ment, or -one or other of the two` ,Houses of 'Congress must decline to act thereon within a month to come. The Canadian Parliament will be in session till May, at least. ‘ '

If Congress should reject or fail to take definite action upon the agree- ment any Parliamentary actionat Ottawa would be quite useless. If on the contrary Congress should accept the treaty its ratification at Ottawa would be assured. The large minis- terial majority in both the Com- mons and Senate gives assurance of this. There may be some, dissentient Liberals, but their number will be small, and these may be c0unterbal-- anced by Conservatives, 'a number of whom are disposed to favor the agreement.

And there are reasons why neither

party in the Canadian Parliament cares to discuss the question while it is pending at Washington. Sir Wil- frid and his colleagues presumablY desire the treaty to receive sanction at both Washington and Ottawa and to go into effect. Their commenda- tion of the treaty as an exceedingll' good bargain for Canada might react at Washington against it there. In like manner the Conservative 0l>Posl- tion at Ottawa are under restraint. They hope to see the treaty defeated in Congress, and hence are chary of de- nouncing it at,Ottawa as a had bar- gain for Canada, lest that action should conduce to its acceptance in Washington.

For these and 'other reasons the

Canadian Parliament will be in no haste either to complete the discuss- ion or come to 'a vote on the reci- procity question. Nothing will be lost by waiting; nothing could be gained by haste. The decision rests at Washington, wherei just now the

!political chess board is confused and the ultimate result of the game un- certain. Ottawa is walting and can aflord to wait. Washington must act, or refuse to act, either of which courses must, for the present at least, be decisive.

Mr. Monk, M. P., Conservative

leader in Quebec, who differed from Mr. Borden on the navy question, is in danger of widening the chasm be-

Atween them. He has expressed his approval of the reciprocity agree- ment, with the -exception of some Ini- nor details.

The Toronto Globe: ' "The minimum of Senate reform

that the people will regard as a ful- fillment of the pledge in the Liberal platform 'to reform the Upper Cham- ber is the abolition of life Senator- Ships and such a change in the meth- od of appointment as will prevent all Senate vacancies in futurc from being filled by the appointment of

,members of the dominant political lparty."

Captain Joseph Read in a letter to

The Patriot enthusiastically endorses the reciprocity agreement. '.And it will need little persuasion or further argument to convince the people of this Province that he is right. It is good to hear from an old-fashioned free-trader once`in awhile, if only-af- ter the Government has taken its stand for reciprocity. But there are some important things which recipro-

city 'cannot do. It does not touch

bines. Reciprocity is all right so far

as it goes, but it docs not go far enough. It will do but little to re- duce the cost of living. That can

only be effected by a general reduct- ion of the Canadian tariflt
