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-
V
`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
democratic Governor, and save forinotably in his recent, mission to
the fact of his royal lineage and theisouth Africa to open the new Par-
addcd “flat and digniffl' th“S'liament there, he seems to have ac-
Ziven- to the Governor Gemlquitted himself insuch fashion as to
C1111. the” ‘Vin be 110 °hB11E9~win popular favor on every side.
in the llfesent l1&PPY 1'01Bti0n'iThere is therefore good reason to
ships of Governor and people~
,hope that his appointment as official

As to the alleged prevalence of says: I
graft in Canada, the Montreal Wit- --The graft had been running for
ness strikes a serious note, taking fourteen years, but was disclosed in
care to say that while "the empl0y_» the fifteenth. That makes it all
right, and condones all indiscrctions,
1 as any Republican knows. This is
91135 iS 9- d9gf&d&ti0Y1 Of G0V€¥'Dm€“t» linteresting, but pales into tlulliiess
- in saying so we are not' accusing a beside the sparkling livelinsss of the
,,art,c,,la,, GO,.e,.nment_.. Later on in purchase of 15,000 corkscrews for the
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
even when the question was one of cups. We are sympathetic rcglwdinll
simple right or wrong, with which a the graft, although it does betray a
0 '_ ‘ ' un
ll ` `
e
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
