THE sAu1T STE. MAR1E QUESTION.

The Toronto Globe complains that the

permission to pass the Sault Ste. Marie
Canal, On her last trip, though she car
RED "no arms nor ammunition, not SOL
dier, gun, nor pound of powder, and
only provisions and clothing for the e1pe-
dition-" The Globe reminds US that, du1-
ing our Late rebellion, American soldiers
were allowed to be carried over their (Great
Western and Grand Trunkl railways, and
insists that, if permission is refused to their
unnamed transports to pass through the
Sault, then the We1land and St Lawrence
Canals ought to be closed against all Ameri-
can vessels.
The Hamilton (Canada) Times, however,
takes more Intelligent as well as cooler
view of the situation, and shows that the
Snult Ste. Marie is not an international
canal, but private enterprise belonging to
the State Of Michigan; TINT the sane rules
apply to the passage Of troops and 7suni-
tons Of 1rar through it that would apply
to the marching Of Canadian troops through
United States territory; that the Privilege of
sending troops and munitiope OF war through
the same should not BE- expected with

States Government, that Secretary Fish
has merely forb.7can that troops and muui-
