Canadian Affairs.
TFrom the Montreal Herald, April 81

AS an offset to the pleasure all loyal Canadians
must derive from the triumph Of the national arms
over the rebellious Sikhs, we have Lord Grey's
announcement that he and his colleagues had de-
temned "to leave the internal affairs of the colo
MES, and of Canada in particular, to their own
management''-that is, that her majesty''s imperial
advisers had no intention OF !" arraigning the de-
crees of the Fates," and that they will tamely look
on and see rebellion rewarded and loyalty insuted,
in the name of their royal mistress. And these
are the Downing street tactics" OF the year OF
grace 1919. Should the threatened iniquty be
eonsummased, it requires no prophet or seer to
foretell what "the Fates' have in store for British
rule in North America. The "decree" will have
gone forth, that for the future, loyalty is to be
if not directly punishable, to be discouraged and
frowned upon-and treason as a perfectly pardon
able. cbullition of temper, only durable by the
soothing effects OF pay and Office.
18th inst the following resolutions were adopted
Resolved, That this meeting views with indignation
the attempt on the part of the present ministry to APP
traitors (who with reasonable designs rose up in arms
