Ossecrion has been taken by one of the United States’ Commissioners at Quebec to the tariff preference of 25 per cent of the duty imposed thatis now given the pros lucté of Great Britain in the of Canada. This preference is given becaure Great Britain admits Canadian products to market United markets her free oft while States countries impose upon Canadian products pe I duty, the and other heavy, hostile, aod in respect to some arti-~ cles, prohibitory duties. Our reason for Britain the equal force to the United giviog Great preference aoplies wit States. preference in the warkets of Great Britain. British Atihe present time, we have no The United States enjoys in the markets equal privileges with us. Ip point offact the free markets of Great Britain are the United States’ best mar- kets. If, then, British products are entitled to a opreference§ in Canada, they are equal y entitled to & pre- ference in the U nited States. lt is to be hoped that the United States’ Commissioners will look atthe matter in this cousideratior light, and that they will approach the cf British~Canadian-U nited States trade relations, not as politicians squabbliog for a small adyantage here or there, but in the epirit of international generosity and justice. that induced to If so, it is possible the British Commissioners may be ive the United States addi tional privilees in the Canadian markets, and a preference in the markets of Great Britain. Butif not, it is not un- likely that the “ free goods ” which the Canadians now buy in the States may be taxed and that Great Britain may be ins duced to give her Colonia! Empire a pres ference in her markets, to the prejudice of the the United States and other commer- cially hostile countries, Great Britain must, ere long, make some change in her commercial policy. Shall the change favor the United States, or the reverse? The decision of this question lies with the commission- ers, Government and people of the United Sates. What shall it be? An Angle- Saxon Commercial Union, including the United States, ora British Empire Trade Union,—exeluding the United States? We should greatly prefer the former. Bat if the United States should say “ no,” then we mue‘ set about carrying the latter into effect. fhe United States commissioners are taking time. We hope that they will! think the matter over carefully, aad come to a decision that will be country and Union, upor favorable to their Anglo-American mutually fair terms, would be good for all concerned in it, —=— to ours.

Judicial Promotion.

The government here had promised the office to Mr | Joseph Martin, in the event of nothing turning ap politically for him. The recent upheaval caused by Lieut.Governor Mclonis, which places Mr. Martin, in the provincial cab- inet has left the Government free to fill the chief justiceship. It bad been tendered to Mr. E. V. Bodweil, of Victoria, but he declined. The cabinet then proposed to appoint a member of Parliament from another province to the position, but strong objection wastaken to this py the British Columbia Bar.

Men bad begged their leader to be relieved from playing what was to them a dirge, and he had consented. A HISTORICAL SCENE, When everything was ready President Dole and his Cabinet, entered, everybody standing as they came on the platform. The President was well dressed and his face grave, The men ofthe Cabinet were all correctly garbed. The President and his best men were followed immediately by Minister Sewell], Adm ral Miller, and } is staff. Just at thistime a gentle rain was falling —“liquid shine” they call it in Ha- waii—and the sense Of Oppression was greatas the atmosphere became heavier avd lees easy to breath. The Rev G. L. Pearson, of the First Me‘hodiet Church, was the man chosen to make the last prayer of the missionary Government. He prayed for Hawaii Nei. and especially for her native sons and daughters. During the prayer evary one on the platform stood. Munister Sewall fingering restlessly and uncensciously a large blue envelope of official appearance which he held under bis arm, THE FORMAL ANNEXATION, Mr. Sewall is a little man with beetling brow, but he stood very straight on the o-:casion, and his voice was the only one that carried. Facing the President, who had risen, Mr. Sewall saidin a voice that flickered for a moment, and then blazed out with renewed strength. “Mr. President, I present you a certifi-~ ed copy of a joint resolution of the Con~ gress of the Unned States,‘approved by the President, Julv 7th, 1898, entitled, ‘Joint resolution to provide for annexation of the Hawaiian Islandsto the United States.’ Tbis joint resolution accepts, ratifies, and c nfirme, on the part of the United States, the Scession formal'y consented to and ap- proved by the republic ot Hawaii,” The square blue envelope went under | President Dole’sarm, and that gentleman replied : “A treaty of political union having been made, and cession formally consented to by the Republic of Hawaii, having been ac. cepted by the United States of America, I now, in the interest of the Hawaiian body politic, and with fnll confidence in | the honour, justice and friendship of the American people, yield up to you, as | representative of the Government of the United States, the sovereignty and public property of the Hawaiian Islands.” Mr. Sewell’s reply was : “Mr. President: lo the name of the United States I accept ths transfer of tne soverigoity aud property of the Hawaiian Government. The admiral commanding United States naval forces in these tine | waters will proceed to perform the duty } intrusted to him.” THE HAWAIIAN FLAGS. The troops presented arms, and far away | was heard the boom of the Philadelphia’s salute and the nearer tremble of the Ha- waiian battery. There were twenty-one guna, the last national salute to the Ha» waiian flag. Before thefealute, there was vigcrous wig-wagging of signal flags from the central tower, upon which, as well as upon side towers, men had been posted ail the morning. Bugles rose and fell at last in melancholy “taps,” aod while every one held his breath, the beautiful flag of Hawaii shaddered for an imsiant, then started and slowly sank to the ground, where it was caught aad folded. Just as it atarted in its descent the clouds | broke and a equare of blue sky showed it- self, Every man withinscund saluting guns uncovered. and far away at the water froat Kanakea boatmen ‘plying their trade bared and bowed their heads, the Admiral nod. ded to Lieut. Winterhalter, who gave the order “Colours roll off” and the cheery American bugles cut the air. Then the strains of “The Star-Spangled Banner” came from the Philadelphia’s band and the flag commenced its asceat. It was an immense piece of bunting, what is known in navy parlance as a‘*number one regulation.” It was thirty feet long and eighteen feet wide, and as it went up the halyards it seemed to cover entirely the *front hill of the building. Simultaneously stoaller flags were yun to their places on the side towers and again was heard, the salute of the guns to the new sovereignty. The central flag was so immense that it hung limp and lifeless for a moment. Then it caught the breath’of a Hard Wood Bed Room Suits at $10.50,12.50, 14.00,15.00, 18.00, 20.00and up.
