OF the terrible night In Helena dawned on men.
There was no yielding or depression. The blow had
fallen, but not to crush. Like Trojans they had
worked; as 10 many Ajaxes they now bid disaster
defiance. Hundreds OF contracts Tor lumber and
building have been made, and within tbrty-six
hours after the ire several new buildings were
erected and business resumed. dozen more started

more Main street will scarce show the scar. Per-

while the remainder will be mostly temporary and
replaced by substantial structures during the season.

tons which bear on this subject The full extent OF
our legal responsibility was we think, embraced IN
the convention. Our moral responsibility Is another
matter, and cannot be determined by any human
tribunal. We are told that England has manifested
no regret NJ the unfrendly acts towards the govern
ment ana people or the United States into which she
was betrayed Dy, rs we must aiirm the unscrupu-
lous inLrlgues OF selfish and powerful faction and
against the wishes and protests OF the masses OF the
English people, who were then without the
political power they now enjoy, We venture
TO assert that the sorrow which great nation
should feel Tor the wrong II has committed Is gen.
eral aud all but universal In this country and that
as regards the highest class our statesmen that
wrong took Its root In ignorance instead OF in
malice. The sentiment to which Lord Russel-a
man not accustomed to make confessions OF tins
sort-gave expression ut the breakfast to Mr.. Gar.
rison did but echo the prevailing feeling even OF
those whose sympathies were unhappiIy misdi-
rected during the war; II the Americans look for
moral redress there Is every reason why moral
redress should be given. Mr.. Chandler, indeed.
nom his place In the Senate, calls upon US
injustice with which we have treated his country.
But this gentleman must be aware thai Canada is
not ours 10 give. The day has gone by for the bar
terng away IN this fashion OF great and free commu
mites. The people OF Canada are masters Of their
own 0estintes; and their tate can never be decided
by any bargain struck In London IN Washington.
We are g.ad that New York paper has taKeK Mr..
Chandler to task for speech which suggests that
one wrong should be patched up by creating an
other, anu that too, wrong inflicted upon people
Wh0 Ut all events are noe responsible for the depre
dations oil the Alabama the SHORTCOMINGS Of the
mother country.
