ErTrRE or TIE DOMINION.

Lord Lornc. i'm the intcrc. tnc paper published
this morning. describes the Canadian
Government as a crowned democracy. Tie
Dominion Parliament, he thinks. provides for
a complete andsrapid representation OF the
National will, while the GOvernor-GencraI~ :
Office affords security against frequent turnnol
of elections. In this way Is furnished II con
venicnt substitute both for monarchy and the
American Presidential system. while all the
advantages of government by the people are
secured through Parliamentary institutions
The Canadian system, we are bound to say, Is
an excellent one for dependencies oi the British
Crown. Ii will answer the purpose so long ~
National independence is not aimed at but the
moment that the confcdcratcd provinces
ottempt TO stand alone. a Canadian Executive
with Presidential functions will appear upon
tbe scene. Whether II Presidential election
would involve more turmoil aud excitement
than are ordinarily Witnessed in a Parliamentary
clcction in the Dominion il an interesting sub
;ect for conjecture The Canadian press
certainly is intensely partisan in Ontario and
other provinces political feeling runs high :;
charges of gcrrymaudcring. bribery aud cor
rnntion are frcducnt; and even Ministers are
severely scored by the Opposition press for
rrivate business affairs rs well rs official
conduct. All these things happen. notwIthstand-
ing Lord I.ornc's assertion that the Canadians
do NOT desire to copy some OF the faults OF their
| American ncighbors.
IL il undoubtedly true that there Is across the
bordcra stronger feeling in favor of ndcprn-
dent nationality than of annexation. Conicd-
Grafton has strengthened the bonds OF loyalty
between the provinces and the mother State.
| The annexation movement has declined since
| the adoption of this wise and comprehensive
policy But the commercial interests ot the
provinces may in the long run prove stronger
than political prcjudices. Those interests are
continental rather than transatlantic, and with
the LAPSE of time will tend to bring the provinces
| into closer political relations with the United
| States. A loosely joined confederation of prov
nces does not give promise ot perInancncc.
| Independence Of the Crown may cement them
| together and If that comes prematurcly IT may
"A Lord Lorne himself comedies, mean the
absorption of the rising nationality.

reason in peculiar way. The President OF the

that the cost of gas to the consumers VIII

reasoner will be apt to think that with Twelve
millions to pay dividends on iustead OF lour
millions the chances will be against the con-

ident of the Manhattan Is right. Yet II that Is
the kind of reasoning which prevails IN all the
