Our friends over the border are Just now
having season Of great joy. In the now form
Of governments consolidated power-they
imagine they see the beginning Of new era
in their history that is destined to develop the
country, mobilize Its power, enrich the people,
and make the new dominion second edition
Of Paradise. OF course we can have no objec-
ton to the Canadian people looking on the
bright side Of the picture; but we fear that
the confederation scheme has turned the
heads Of their ablest statesmen, and that the
reaction, when II comes, will result very dis
astrously for the stability of the Dominion.
For a few years the new scheme may work
very satisfactorily, but In the end 1t will
accomplish just what Its promoters seek
10 avoid, the absorption Of the Canadas by
tho United States. No one will attempt
TO deny that Canada in the past half GEN.
fury has made remarkable progress-second
only, perhaps, 10 this country-or that
they have within their border some of the
ablest statesmen this hemisphere has pro-
duced The people are Industrious and happy,
but lack the "push" that Ii characteristic Of
what it Is to-day-a Power before which Euro
pean governments bow with respect and the
Chinese and Japanese kneel in reverence.
Still much Of our success Is owing to the
lberality with which we treat the emigrants
arriving upon our shores, and the entire alb
sence on our part Of that spirit that says to the
toiler in the mine and the workshop, :" l am
= 49, a. " Il
In Canada they still cling TO the old and absurd
Ideas OF caste. The aristocracy, that has sprung
from questionable origin, is tho curse of the
country. and this scheme Of confederation Is
merely cover to introduce into the new Do
minion all the absurd customs Of the aris-
tocracy Of the Old World.
The rebellion Of 1878, under Mackenzie
and Papineau, was brought about by the
expressions Of the citizen and agricul-
turist, who could not trace their
lineage TO gentle blood, by those
who claimed superior status In society. The
offices in the gift Of the government were be.

lies. who we're supported in their licentousnes:
by the money gathered from the poor tax
payer. Lord Durham, however, Strengthened
things out, and Canada became under thu
union virtually selfgoverned country, AND
since then the provinces have made happy
progress. Much Of this success, however, Is aus
TO the American spirit that has been infused

British Reform-Auosher Liberal Tr,um Nh.


A cable despatch dated London. May 81,
midnight, and printed in Saturdays HERALD
announced another division in the House of
Commons on the Reform bin. The division
took place on the question Of the distribution Of
seats, To the government proposal the oppo-
sition moved an amendment 70 the effect that
no borough having population Of less than
ten thousand should be entitled to q seat in the
House Of Commons. The liberals carried tn cir
amendment by majority Of one hundred and
twenty-seven. As preliminary step to the
whole question OF distribution this Ia an i'm
portant liberal gain. It will make wholesale
destruction Of oil the wretched little pocket
boroughs which have survived since 1882.
The seats thus acquired will be distributed
over the large centres Of population where
liberal principles are in the ascendant Al.
though apparently pointing in an opposite direc-
ton, 1t encourages the belief to which we have
already given expression, that reform bill
will be carried this session Of Parliament. and
will be carried by tho tories. The liberals are
strong enough when they choose to unite TO
carry their point but they refuse to unite to
drive the government from their seats, and for
the obvious reason that they are convinced
that safe and satisfactory measure Of reform
will be obtained at their hands. IA govern
ment have yielded In regard TO the ledger

and In regard TO the compound householder,

In yesterdays HERALD we gave some
figures reproduced from the pages Of the
Obmstitsaiomnel, which show how wonderfully
France has advanced In material prosperity
since 1851. The review comes down only to
1866 and 1866, but we are warranted to infer
that progress il still the order Of the day.
Some Of these figures are 80 important a. to
justify reproduction. In 1861, imports,
1904 100000 francs in 1865, imports, $685.
100000 francs--showing an increase Of 2,434,-
100000 francs. In 1881, exports, 1870, O00, 900
francs In 1866, exports, 40S7 900, 900 francs
showing an increase Of 1857 100000 francs
In 1851 the total Of imports and exports was
2,6l4,O00,OOO francs in 1865 the total Of inn
ports and exports was 1918 100000 francs
showing an increase Of 5,001. 100000 francs.
Comparing the same years, maritime commerce
alone increased fifty per cent In 1851 the
amount Of discounts at the Bank Of France
was l,241, 100000 francs I; 10 1865 1t was 6574,-
100000 francs-showing an increase of $685.
100000 francs. The produce Of coal has been
doubled, and the manufacture Of cast and
wrought iron tripled during the period.
Railways and telegraphs have proportionately
ACKNOWLEDGMENT to the positive conve-
nience and pecuniary advantage Of the people.
Since 1851, when telegraphic messages num-
bered only 10000, they had increased in 1866
to 100000, and the charges bad been reduced
seventy per cent In 1851 the number Of
letters transmitted through the post Office was
65 900, 900 In 1855 the number had increased
TO 329,0OO,OOO. In 1851 the indirect taxes and
those on consumption yielded 73s,242,OOO
francs In 1886 revenue from the same
sources had swelled TO 1882, 26s,000 francs
Certainly, whatever may be said Of France
under the second empire, IL cannot, if these
figures are correct. be said tina. she has de-
cined in material prosperity.

Honor to the Dead.

The interesting article which we published
yesterday on the cemeteries Of the metropolis
shows to what an extent our people carry their
reverence for the dead. In all ages and among
oil nations the feeling has prevailed more or
less, but at no period and no where has it been
carried to the sentimental extremes observable
here. Everything that affection and family
pride can suggest or that taste and wealth can
procure is, so far as is consistent with the object
lavished on the tombs Of those dear TO us. The
result is not always happy, but In the grandeur
and beauty of the general design of which
these monuments form part its imperfections
are lost sight Of
Although landscape gardening in this con-
nection cannot be said to have originated here,
to us belongs the credit Of giving it the fullest
extension of which it was capable. It is not
many years since in England-the school Of
the art-the public burying grounds began to
receive attention from the gardener. With
the exception OF Kensall Green we do not know
. cemetery in or about London which IL at all
developed in this way. There are few in the
English provinces on which good deal ofcare
is bestowed, but they are on small scale and
possess no particular attractions in point Of
site. Pere la Chaise, with which so many Of
the literary and artistic memories of France
are associated, offers to the eye only
confused tumble Of stone and marble
monuments. The situation il q commanding
account The fact Is the cemetery was laid
out at period when perfection in gardening
was considered TO lie in the adaptation of the
ground to certain fixed geometrical principles,
beyond which the mind Of the horticulturist
never wandered. Thus Il remained until the
place was choked up with tombs and II became
impossible to alter the arrangement The
celebrated San Miniato Cemetery at Florence,
though almost equally commanding In point of
situation, has no pretensions to horticultural
beauty. The graves lie beneath o Fat marble
pavement, on which the visitor walks, and,
with the exception Of the view Of the city,
which is very fine, there is but little worth see
ing. There is not, in fact, in Great Britain or
on the continent of Europe a single cemetery
which compares in natural and acquired at
fractions with those OF our leading cities
Greenwood, Mount Auburn and Laurel Hill
are PROFESSIONALLY tho finest burying places
in the world All that nature and art can
combine to produce agreeable and soothing
impressions are to be found united there. It
has been said of Us as people that we place
but small value on life. Ii we were 70 be
Judged by the care bestowed on these gardens
Of the dead,' il would certainly seem that we
look to our occupation Of them rather with
feelings of pleasure than apprehension.

Tho Gear In Paris-Napolcoa's Royal Con-
gregatiou.
A special cable telegram from Paris informs
us of the arrival Of the Gear Alexander the
Second Of Russia, accompanied by his two
sons, in the French capital, and details the
brilliant reception accorded to him by his
imperial brother, Napoleon. The ruler Of all
the Russias win be followed Immediately by
King William Of Prussia, the King Of Italy and
the viceroy of Egypt, the Emperor Of Austria
and other potentates arriving at date little
later. Napoleon's long sought for and ardently
desired congregation Of sovereigns will then
be complete, and the Parisians will gain
immensely in their cash receipts, while the
prestige Of the Bonspartes will be in a great
measure restored by the skilfal diplomacy Of
the Emperor and the popular comparison
which will be made between the situation OF
the empire in 1867 and that existing in 1915.
Prince Gortschakon, the Nestor of Russian
statesmanship, will attend the Gear, and Count
Won Bismarck accompany the King of Prussia.
1t is said that the Gear will extend his visit to
London.

French squadron In the Mediterranean was
ordered to Malta, to await the arrival Of the
Sultan Of Turkey and two princes Of his family,
and convey the imperial party to Toulon,
where they were to be received by the French
Minister Of Marine on their way TO Paris.
The most important and momentous mea-
sures Of State are likely to ensus from this Con-
gress. It is indicated, indeed, already that
the Eastern question will be arranged "under-
standingly," and it may be that Napoleon will
quietly effect Reconstruction" Of the crowns
and thrones in accordance with the popular
will, and thus renew the lease Of power of his
neighbors, he himself being admitted 10 the
reunited family as dynastic member,
anointed and entitled to rule by divine right
The moment is apparently favorable, for it will
be observed that from Russia, Turkey, Italy,
Sweden and England. Juvenile princes have

where each and all Of them will be duly intro

Caoada and tho United 6tatcs-The NaviGa-
tion Of the Sc. Lawrence River.
Three steamers bound from this port to points
west by way Of Canadian waters were seized
by the Canadian customs authorities on Friday
last, and must be held until they can receive
from Washington special permits. This revived
embarrassment to commerce, this resuscita-
ton OF ono Of the items Of trouble that gave
origin to the Reciprocity treaty, will suddenly
open the eyes Of the country to the fact that
the navigation Of the St Lawrence is no longer
free to American vessels. Free navigation Of
that stream was one Of the points Of advantage
to US in the treaty. II was one Of the con-
siderasions for our placing number Of Cana
dian products on the free list at our custom
houses. Canada has fsit her share Of the pres
sure resulting from the abrogation Of tho
treaty, and means now, apparently, that we
shall feel ours. For six months In the year the
only market for Canadian products IL within
our borders as we stand between Canada and
any other market In the one case we make
her pay duty, and In the other tolls. She now
intends to show that she has also the right to
exaots tolls on goods in transit by her waters
to our Western States. So far 1t is all fair !;
but Canada, In insisting upon her nominal
right in this case, in making an embarrassing
exaction founded upon principle as to the
sovereignty Of waters that is justly becoming
obsolete, will experience notable disappoint-
ment f.s. ....f 49,. n -s.-..
Canada counts upon opening our eyes to the
advantages Of a reciprocity treaty; but her act
will not operate in that way. It's consequence
will be deeper it will be to open our eyes to
the fact that the St. Lawrence river, from On
tario to the ocean, is our natural northern
boundary. That grand river is the outlet of q
vast extent of territory within the United States
1t is the great channel Of commerce by which
in the near future the grain and mineral crops
Of our Northwestern States must find their most
direct, feasible and economical route to mar
ket. Can the mouth, then, Of such river be
permitted to remain in the hands of hostile
Power, ready to use its position to embarrass
commerce by delays and exactions, to levy
tolls for the right Of passages Not while the
Americans continue to be what they are. We
cannot have the history of the Danube repeated
on our northern border, nor permit any poor
provincial policy to establish new set Of
"sound dues" at the mouth Of the ST. Law
renee. No. The great future necessity Of QUIZ
Western States requires that the southern
shore OF the st. Lawrence should be ell ours
And in such result lies also the real settle
ment Of the question Of the fisheries for with
the river and Gulf Of St Lawrence fxod "a Our
all the points that give rise to
fishery disputes would be within the United
States. We might as we'll open this great
question at once, and this seizure In the st.
Lawrence will be as good an occasion a. any.
Here is the chance for the government to open

ton.
