Sir Charles Tapper and Imperia! Federation.

The Imperial Federation League recently asked the High Commissioner for Canada 11 he would favor it with his views upon the question of Imperial Federation. His re- ply was as follows:—

My Drax Srr,—In reply to your letter, I beg to say that you are quite right in suppos- that I take great interest in the cause ad- vocated by the Federation League. I feel, however, that it will not be in my power to comply with your request that I should write an article on that subject for your January number. As the High Commissioner for Canada, I am unable to speak with any authority, excep where I can do so with the sanction of my Government, and, as you are aware, it has not yet taken any action upon this subject for my guidance,

Ihave given this important question a great deal of consideration. It is beset with much difficulty, which, I hope, may not prove insuperable. I confess I do not see any pro- bability of a Parliamentary Federation in our day, as it seems to involve the creation of a supreme Parliament over the present Houses of Lords and Commons, and, what would be almost equaliy impracticable, the cession of sume portion of the powers of self-governmeat by the autonomous Colonies.

‘The propesal to levy a tax upon the Colo nies for the support of the army and navy, so popular in this country, is open to serious ob- jections. The great Colonies of Australasia and the Dominion of Canada are doing more to strengthen the Empire by developing the great fields colonization that they possess, thus building up powerful British communi- ties, and expanding the trade of this country, than any direct contribution to the support of the army or navy would effect. Nor must it be forgotten that we annually expend large sums of public money in training and equip- ping a large defensive foree, which would be placed at the service of the Empire whenever and wherever the necessity should arise.

Canada has, in addition to an annual ex- penditure for this purpose of over a quarter of a millon sterling, expended within the last nineteen years ever £20,000,000 in providing a greater inter-ocean railway through british territory, extending nearly 4,000 miles from Halifax on the Atlantic to Vancouver on the Pacific Ocean. This road not only opens up for settlement 200,000,000 acres of the finest wheat growing land in the world,but als» pro- vides a great Imperial highway upon which England may to-morrow have te depend for the maintenance of her power in India, China and Australasia. All will admit that had that money been expended in fortifications or ships and guns, it would not have strengtkened the Empire to the same extent.

The most effectual way in which, in my opinion, the Federation of the Empire may be promoted, would be by the formation of a great Australasia Federation such as Canada possesses. The same course in South Africa would also be desirable. This done, although I regard the proposal to have one tariff as visionary, it would be quite possible for the Chancellor of the Exchequer of the United Kingdom to arrange with the Finance Minister of Canada, ‘halos and South Africa a fiscal policy that would greatly promote the interests of ail and bind indissolubly the Mother Country and the Colonies together by the tie of mutual advantage. It might be arranged to have in this country, and in all the Colonies a double-column tariff, one rate of duties for all British countries, and another for foreign countries. These tariffs would not necessarily be the same in different Colonies, but framed upon a common policy,as a matter of treaty, in such a way as to promote the prosperity of all.

Representation in the Imperial Parliament in the usual way seems to conflict with our system of government, but tl. official represen- tative of each group of the federated Provin- ces might have a seat in the Cabinet assigned to him so long as he enjoyed the confidence of the Government of the Dominion he repre- sented. He would then be enabled to place before the whole Cabinet the views of his Gov- ernment upon all questions affecting there in- terests.

In the earnest hope that means may be de- vised to unite still more closely all portions of our great Empive, and wishing every success to the Imperial Federation League in the im- portant work in which they are engaged.

I remain, Yours faithfully, CuaRLes TUPPER.

—9, Victoria Chamber, London, 8. W., De- cember 3rd, 1886. eR 6 a The Baltimore Sun has a special from

Rome which says: ‘Much astonishment expressed in ecclesiastical circles at the statement circzlated in the United States that Rome has condemned the teachings of Henry George, and that Dr. McGlynn has been censured for advocating them. It is authoratively stated that George’s teachings have not even been examined by the Propaganda, and it is therefore evident that they have not been condemned nor their advocacy censured. Dr. McGlynn has many warm friends in Rome, and the construction put on the summons to come ts Rome is deprecated as a mischievous error.’

The statistics of last year’s English publi- cations discluse some odd facts. The num- ber of new books published was 3,984, and of new editions 1,226—a total of 5,210. This is a falling off of more than 400 from the total of 1885. As usual, novels head the list with 962, and theological works, in- cluding sermons, come next with 752. Poetry and the drama make a small show- ing with 93 works. The new novels in- creased from 455 to 755, while the books classified as juvenile tales fell from 672 to 390. Truly of the making of books there is no end.

Returns from seventy-six railways in the United States and Canada show that the gross receipts for 1886 amounted to over fifteen million dollars more than in the year 1885. Only four of the seventy-six show an increase of over a million dollars. Of these, two are Canadian, the Grand Trunk and the Canadian Pacific Railways, whose united increase in gross earnings is 30 per cent. of the whole increase. This speaks well for Canada’s prosperity.

On the evening of tne 18th inst., Jesse §. Burns,G.S., assisted by R. Gray,G. Sentinel; B. C, Mutch, Prince of Wales Division ; and Robert Ellis, Knutsford Division, organized a Division of the Sons of Tem perance at O'Leary Station, with twenty

charter members and the following ofticers :

W. P.—John Frost.

R. 8.— William Barclay.

A. R.8.—H. W. Turner.

Pr. W. P.—B. 0. Mutch.

The Division is to be known as ‘‘Burns

Division, No. 155, and meets on Wednes- day evenings.

The organization of this Division is in a great measure due to the untiring efforts of Mr. B. C. Mutch, who sawthe need of some Temperance Society at O'Leary Station, of which place he is at present a resident.

Much credit is due James Barclay, Esq., who has given the Division the free use of a building in which to hold their weekly meetings,

A Queen as a Lecturer. ‘* CARMAN SYLVA” TO TEACH IN THE HIGH SCHOOL OF BUCHAREST.

The Queen of Roumania has undertaken to deliver a coucse of lectures on national litera- ture at the high school for girls in Bucharest. Her Majesty, who is well known as a poetess under the pseudonym of *‘Carman Sylva,” has been accustomed for some time past to give lectures privately in her palace to the young ladies of the leading families in Rou- mania, ‘ihese literary assemblies proved so attractive that the demands for admission to them grew inconvenient, so that the Qneen thought of delivering her lectures in the high school to all pupils who cared to attend, Before Her Majesty could do this, however, she had to obtain a regular professor's diploma from the King and the ministers of instrue- tion. This required an examination, to which the Queen gaily and gvaciously submitted, and the diploma having now been won, not grant- ed by favor, Her Majesty will begin her lec- tures at the opening of term, after the New Year.— Pall Mall Gazette.

About a year ago it was reported that an Irish girl working in a hotel at Toledo, QO., had become heir to vast estates in Eng- land. The story proved to be a practical joke on the girl, but she was deluged with letters offering marriage from all over the country. Among the letters was one from James O'Keefe, a wealthy resident of Pitts- barg, which resulted in correspondence, and, about ten days ago, in a meeting and marriage.
