Prof. ltlattfnsws says that one of the most inurkcd differences to be noted in the critical periodicals of 1821 and those of 1921 is the pro- gress from anonymous to signed articles. Rarely in the magazines cf a hundred years ago were any signed. Nowadays ‘few important criticisms remain unsigned. and ii‘ they are unsigned the regular Wad- er is almost always certain as to who wrote them. There is no doubt that in iii-e pus: many ll sell- ius silffercd from tlie bitter and outrageous attacks upon him by some private enemy. who. had his inmp been attached to his article, would have been deprived of ihe power to do injury by bringing to public intention the private animus.

Canada and New Foundinnd. (From the Montreal Gazette.) There has always been, in the Dominion, a sort of standing invita- tion to Newfoundland to come in and thereby "round-off Coneiedcro- tion." Wiheu the British North Am erica Act was draiwn up. the possi- iiility ovf the entry of Newfound- land was ‘in the minds of Canadian statesmen, and provision was made (or it in the Act itself: it is there today. The disposition in this coun try toward the absorption of New- foundland has been. in a general way. favorable. This attitude has not, however, been reclprocated in Newfoundland, except at times when -lt has appeared that the is- land people doubled their ability to get along alone. A desire for Confederation. growing out of a financial depression and having for its ‘immediate object the trans fer of public debt from Newfound- land to an enlarged Doiiiinlon. is not, perhaps. the happiest foundat- ion ior a mutually beneficial union. At present, particnlruly, Canada has financial problems of its own which seem likely 1o test, with usual severity. the resources of the people. Beavers Saving Fish and Woods.
