SO many absurd theories have been set
afloat regarding Americas laundering af-
ter Canada, we are glad to see that Mr..
Trains opinion comedies with our own.

absorbing Canada than they do England.
The defeat OF the Militia bill gave rise
to the recent debates in the discussion
halls, and Mr.. Train argues to prove that
the Canadians care really ss little for
England as America does for the Cana

can readily understand why the Cana
dams overthrow the Militia Bill. They
know that the war between England and
America means making battle field of
Canada. With England Canada is weak
without her strong. Let Canada set
