LORD LORNE7S F1REUELL.

Our remarks concerning Canadian anneXa-
ton the other day received an emphatic cor
robolation in the farewell address OF the Gov
ernor-G General at Quebec. The Marquis is evil
IDENTITY not blind to the increasing disafectOn
among the Queens subjects; but he mistakes
both the cause and cure for it. lie talks of
himself as constitutional Governor being the
sign and proof of the moral and material sup
port which Canada receives from the greatest
of European nations" and assures them that it
is their union with England which makes their
national life respected by their neighbours"
The fact is that the mass of Canadians,
farmers, tradesmen and wOrldngpeople, would
prefer to be respected by their nciglbOrs for the
substantial prosperity which they have not got,
rather than for the reflected glory from any
union with England. Union with England is of
service only to small wealthy class of ship
ping merchants and politicians who come TO
Canada to make fortunes which they invariably
go back to England to enjoy. They take no
interest in developing the industries further
than their selfish individual ends require. Be
sides this class the Canadian population is
made up of the thriftless, happy go-lucly
French habitans and swarms of Irish emigrants,
willing enough to work and prosper if put in
the way, but without capital, experience or
business capacity. The seven governments
hang but loosely together and a Governor
General, even though as genial a ruler as Lord
Duffcrin or as scholarly as the Marquis of
Lorne, is too thin thread to hold them bound.
There is lacking in Canada a central point of
interest, national feeling, that esprit de corps
which is the surest incentive to work and to
success in peoples or individuals. The machn-
cry of government furnished him by England
impresses the Canadian principally through its
cost A President, he reasons, would not be
half so expensive.
The English at home are beginning to appre-
ciate the truth of the situation. The Pan Mall
Gazette recently stated the position of affairs
very fairly, recognizing the absolute unity ex-
listing between the Dominion and the States,
both geographically and commercially. The
st. Lawrence and the railways of the States
were indiferently the natural outlets for the
trade of both countries. There was no antag
onism between them to owe come in case of an
nexation, either of race or interest In short,
the truth was admitted that while annexation
was now desired with more or less eagerness by
all Canadians except by the small wealthy class
of aliens, the people in the States remained in
different to the matter. Canada, in a word, is
not a possession which England will fight 10
keep or we to gain. She will probably be al

and encouragement to the Anti-BOurbOn move
ment, which has just won such notable
victory in Virginia, and which, before
the end of another year, unless all the
signs of the times are deceptive,
will have spread to every Southern State,
Southern Cabinet appointments under previous
Administrations have not been fortunate.
Without exception they have failed to exercise
any political influence. Mr.. Alderman, whom
General Grant made Attomcy-Gencral. had no
following in Georgia. Judge Key, MIR.
Haycss PoStmastcr-Ge brought no new
element TO the support OF the Ad-

in Louisiana or elsewhere il the South to have
any political significance.

Grant, Hayes and Garfield that they did
not change the politics of their section.
The times were not ripe for individual

current. Whoever became a Republican,

fortunate as was that of the man turned out
of the church in the old Puritan days in New
England, whose good deeds, even, were sup
posed to be instigated by the devil. The
brayesi and most popular Confederate officers
like Longstreet, found themselves isolated
from all old associations the moment they joined
the Republican party. Happily, the South Is
now fast working out OF the era OF
bigotry and intolerance. The time has come
when the qualities of political leadership be-

State alone hut of the entire South. This
Influence will work on higher levels than those
of mere party zeal and expedency. The new
political movement i'll the South, which
he would labor to advance, is not race for
Office and power, but an intelligent effort
toward stimulating enterprise, attracting i'm
migration, fertilzing the WORKOUT fields, build
ing up the waste places, and opening the way
TO better social and industrial conditions. The
first things the South needs are freedom of
political action and fair ballot after she wins
these her population and wealth will increase
at more rapid ratio than ever before in
her history.

GfNn1Y ~ CITY AAn c0ryrrH

citizen OF rural village recently got up in
n city meeting to give expression Ia his horror
over the Sunday Dissertation which went on in
the great town to which he had Just made his
first visit. He had seen street cars. open ,hops
and bars, and Other things that properly
shocked his religious ideas There is no doubt
that much unnecessary work is done on sun
days, and there ought To be constant diligence
to arrest the growth Of Sunday labor. The day
of rest is among the most valuable franchises
of labOrng men, and among the best safeguard.
of public morals.
But it is well to think on Our mcrcirs
and it may be that our Jealous friend
from the country was under an Illusion
when Inc gazed upon city wickedncss. Com
ing from rural village, he probably forgot
that, as he Gazed from the Brooklyn Bridge
upon the two cities, he no longer had village
about him. AT home, perhaps two thousand
human beings come under his inspections but
from his perch on the bridge he surveyed the
activities of two millions of the members of the
human race. We are confident that he forgot
to make the necessary multiplications, and
that ratio dropped altogether out of his calcu-
lations. He saw few hundred people break.

million and three-quarters of men and women

that one-tenth of one Sabbath breaker in his
country village would be a larger proportion
than the city Sabbath made when
compared with the whole population. He also
forgot to make any allowance for the differ
ences Of customs in country and city. He
would not have been shocked at home if a
single buggy had passed down the principal
street; but all the street-cars he saw in the city
would not make so large a ratio as that single
buggy. 1t is probable that he might have
counted hundred buggies Mt home, out for
Sunday traveln; but hundred street cars in
the midst of these vast populations shocked
him because he sees buggies constantly, and
only sees street-cars when he makes his infre.
