4 i ¥ { TH THE DAILY EXAMINER. SEPTEMBER i8, 1888. The Political Game. Wirn the purpose of scoring a point against the President, the Senators asked +s him to communicate to them the Ifi- atances which have occurred since the third of March, 1887, of wrongs to Ameri- can fishing vessels, or other American vessels, in the ports or waters of British Nerth America, and what steps had been taken in respect thereto.” The answer the President was compelled to make is over- whelmingly favorable to the Canadian side of the case ; for it proves, beyond a doubt, that there is no real ground whatever for os President the threatened retaliation.” Cleveland admits that no wrongs to American fishermen have been reported as having occurred since March, 1887, and continues ** Soon after the passage of the (retaliation) act the negotiations, which had been proceed- ing, for several months previously, progressed actively, and the proposed conference and the presence at this Capitol of the plenipotentarizs of the two Governments, out of which the since rejected treaty of February 8, 1883, eveutuated, had their natural influence in re- pressing causes of complaint in relation to the fisheries. Therefore, since March 3, 1857, nv case has been reported to the Department oi State wherein complaint was made of unlaw ful treatment of American fishing vessels on the part of Canada in which reparation was not promptly and satisfactorily obtained by the United States. <A sinyle case of alleged unju-t treatment of a merchant vessel has been reported since March 3, 18387.” [his, as the Montreal Gazette well re- marks, is **a direct cutting away from under Mr. Cleveland’s feet of any ground for the recommendation he made for hostile retaliation against Canada.” Mr. Cleveland refers to the case of the occurred in 1886. But since that tame he has, for himself and his Novelty, which Gicverument, recognized Canada’s right to retuse permission to transport fish caught by United States vessels by rail to the United States markets. The Senate have, it seems, scored a President ; but they have, at the saine time, demonstrated the peint against the . . PF +) : } injustice of their bluster and threats, oe: Editorial Notes. The election of Hon. Mr. Dewdney by acclamation shows taat he has lived duwn the sleaders which were propagated con- cerning him a few years ago. -The Montreal Gazette says that Presi- dent Cleveland’s Retaliation Bill is not out of the breakers yet. Senaturs Sherman and Edmunds are reported to be opposed to its railroad clause —the one Canada has must reason to fear—and they are a stroug team, especially with the encouragement the President's opponents have received in the Vermont and Maine electiuns. -The London Advertiser asks : making of jiugo speeches the best course st the present time /”—meaning at the moment the United States is threatening retaliation. The Montrea Gazette replies: ** No good is to be served by making jingo speeches ; and nubody is sevking to make them. All the same, a little jimgoism is cometimes not a bad thing. If Mr. Laurier’s St. Thomas speech had been just tinged with jingvism, he would have stood several degrees higher in the popular estimation than he does to-day, and the party he leads would have present- ec. a better appearance to the people of the untry. Jingoism in a public man is more essily forgiven than wilful depreciation of ois own Country. ** Ts the a” ti What 10 Calis ‘ The Week, of Toronto, says: ‘* The at- empt to introduce unfermented wine as ‘element for the Cup, has given rise to iauch bitterness and discord in the churches it is not only a condemnation of the un- brocen practice ol the Church for centur- ies, but it is equally a departure from yostolic practice. No one can doubt that ine employed for the Holy Comimu- nion #t Corinth, in the time of St. Paul, wis fermented and had _ intoxicating It was actually misused so as to produce scandalous consequences, and yet >. Paul did not, for a moment, suggest the use of any other liquid. He knew that i i4iities the Passover wine was alcuholic;:that the Lord hace used that wine at the institution of the Sacrament, and it was not for him tu change what his Master had ordained.” > The Toronto Globe boasts about the ‘Toronto Fair” and says: ** The most de- ligh+ful feature of the great show is its crowd of eomfortabdly dressed, well-fed, in- telligent, interested, orderly, perfectly sober visitors. One may spend a whole diy on the grounds and never hear a rude voice or see an angry gesture, To and fru .» the people with much courtesy to one another, making the best of occasional crushes, accommodating themselves cheer- fully to every situation, * pulling together ’ as they could not if they were often disturb ed by contract with men in some stage of iexication. The crowds are not boister- ous, but are distinctly merry, aod the reiment, being that of people in full possession of their senses, is thoroughly catisfactory.” It appears that intoxicants of all kinds, (even the exhilerating hop Leer) were excluded from the Exhibition grounds, A Southern paper remarks: Typhoid fever kills more peoplein this country every year than most of the yellow fever epidemics do. Yetno body runs away irom typhoid fever. They stay where they are and take the chances. But at the first ‘int of “Yellow Jack,” country settle- nents, vitlages, towns and whole cities jose their heads and run off as fast as their egs wiil carry them. In Havana yellow ever sometimes prevails al] the year round, bat the citizenaj stay there and American tourists visit the city aud never think of i Why does a touch of the disease lancer, ‘a this country produce such a general Scare? i o {he Manitoba Government will bonus ord } a Dey ruffway to the amvumt vf . t j i : - 32 twos. sola reed bv och Sabie ates, ee beptts~Bi rR ce Te I A AITO sar A “A Gun that Kills at Both Ends.” — The people of the ¢ uited States are al- ready getting disgusted with ‘* Retaliation,” snd will bury the fad as quickly as_ the Opposition in the Dominion have earthed Commercial Union.” Senators Sherman ind Edmunds have recently spoken strong- ly against the measure, and others will doubtless follow their example. Mr. W. H. H. Marray, who is well known in Canada, was nterviewed by the representative of a leading Boston journal, 4 few days ago, and spoke out in emphatic condemnation of the miserable policy of reta‘iation. He said he regarded the re- jected treaty as a fair one to both countries, ind expressed the opinion that the Am 1 can people have been misrepresentec vy their representatives at Washington in this matter. We quote Mr. Murray’s closing cemarks : ‘This most grave and delicate subject has been made a mere football for a set of hot- veaded partisans to kick at will, A great question of international comity and good will nas been rolled in the mud of home politics iegraded to the level of a makeshift to gain a few paltry party votes, and to-day we present to the world the pitiable picture of a peuple so lost to a just sense of dignity and whit is decorous in conduct as to treat the gravest of juestious with flippancy, happy, not in the just settlement of a most complicated and serious questfon, involving v.st commercial losses and the disturbance of peaceful rela- tions with a kindred nation, but because we had so handled it as to win to our party a few miserable votes or supplied our stump speak. ers with an advantageous point against their opponents. We Americans are a civil- ized, a manly, a Christian people. What have we to do with retaliation ! W hen New England shall find half her railroads stopped ani half her trade crippled; her business connections, established by years of patient and costly effort, sundered ; her food supplies seriously reduced, and her few re- mining boats idle at their wharves, she will wk, and ask with a voice that will be heard, whe has done it? And whether it be Presi- dent or Senate. this party or that, fifty Sena. tors or one, whoever has done sneh a silly and wicked deed wiil be called to a strict account. This ‘ retaliation’ business is a gun that kills at both ends, and New England doesn’t pur- pose being at either ead of it when it goes off ~aud therefore it won't go off.” England to Canada. — (The Empire.) Canada, since the union of the provinces, has assumed a new position in English eyes. Canada, since the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway, is to thema very different country from the Canada of old. Our fellow-subjects of the United Kingdom are beginning to see the ** illimit- able possibilities " which the future holds tor Canada, and self-interest combined with patriotisin tells them that Canadian inter- ests are truly Imperial interests. Ow tisheries, not less than our limitless agri- cultural lands, furests and minerals, are a source of strength, not to Canada alone, but to the Empire. It is being seen that » blow struck at these interests in behalf of a foreign country is a biow struck at a great national interest ; that the cripp ing of our railway or commercial system is sumething move than an injury to Canida alone ; that any measure of Coercion, any unjust in- vasion of our commercial independence,any act calculated to injure or embarrass Can- ada, is a blow at the Empire and linperial nterests. We are vastly more to the Em- pire to-day than at any previous period of our existence, and the fact is recognized by Imperial statesmen and the British press. [t is well that this idea should find lodg- inent also in the United States mind. Un- iortunately, the utterances of some of our small-souled people, taken with past deliverences from such men as John Bright, had served to confirm the impression, al- ready strongly held in the United States, that there is but slight regard for Canada n England, the English mind being wholly sbsorbed with its own affairs and the prob- ems of Europe. The present tone of ,the English press and the attitude of English statesmen should suffice to remove this erroneous impression and to cast light upon the true relations of Canada with the Em- pire. ~ -- -_ - aa News Notes.

Canon Medley, his son, who arrived here this afternoon by special train, looking well after their somewhat extended visit to Kugland. A correspondent in Georgetown writes:— ‘“Mr. James YW. Brehanut, who has been teaching in the high department of the George- town school, in the absence of the head master, who has been in Ottawa for a few days, leaves to-day. Mr. Brehaut carries with him the best wishes of all the pupils. He is a pains- taking teacher, and his new and improved method of teaching makes it a pleasure for his pupils to study under him.” Rev. Geo. Sutherland left here on Monday morning for Nova Sevtia. He occupied the pulpits of St. James’ and Zion church on Sab- bath last, and preached to large congregations. It must have been gratifying to Mr. suther- iand to see so many of his old friends after an absence of twenty-one years. Mr. Sutheriand has lost none of his power as a preacher. In his discourses on Sabbath there was manifest all the vigor of youth, combined with tha mellowness which age and experience only can give. We regret that Mr. Sutherland is not hiling one of the pulpits in the Dominion of Canada; but, at the same time, we are pleased to think that Canada has such a re- presentative in the far-off continent of Aus- tralia, ————— rr — ID © I ee SHEEP SurpMents. —The Pioneer reports: —‘* Last week 1,000 sheep were taken over in the St. Lawrence.
