But, weighing the grievous Political
wrongs that were being heaped uron them,
understanding and appreciating England's
difficulty in sending troops so far across
the ocean to land then principally COM
posed Of trees, the American colonists saw
in very clear, cold-blooded way that there
was less chance of destruction in fighting
against Washington than in fighting for
him.
Since that time, however, some moral
ideas have entered the region of politics.
Men have learned TO distinguish between
merely local and universal causes. No
doubt the local is generally stronger than
the universal influence with the average man,
but Mr.. BeeCher was one OF those who saw
at the outbreak Of the war that the preser-
walton Of the Union aud the abolition Of
slavery were the causes Of the human race.
he sees to-day that the establishment Of
Irish autonomy is the cause Of freedom
everywhere, and far above party politics in
Great Britain. lie gives the sanction Of
his great character and career TO Mr.. Glad
stones measures, and we cannot refrain
from admirlng this coalition between the
two great old men. Nevertheless we do
think distinctly that II other things were
moderately equal, and that no urgent cir

America, he should have done bettec by re-
naming in his own country and in explain.

MIR. Beecher in England.

"Onc lesson at least have learned from
old age" said the poet Schiller, who lives
on with such peaceful strength in the heart
of the German nation, "and that is to rev.
erence in my old age the dreams of my
youth.n
Whatever animadversions may have been
passed upon Mr.. Beecher's interference
with English politics, no one can doubt
that he takes up the Irish cause now on the
same principles and for the same reasons
that enabled his improvlsed oratory to
sweep like a hurricane over America and
England thirty years ago.
People seem to remain stupid enough In
America to confound the English people
with the aristocratlc English government.
This is an absurd delusion. The great bulk
OF the English people understand their
rights and privileges as clearly as did the
men who were behind Jefferson In the first
Fourth of July celebration. But 1t may be
interesting, once for all, TO state the essen
tial difference between the American colo
mics in 1915 and the kingdom Of Great
Britain In 1886.
To use a vernacuar, and therefore preg-
nant expression, 1t was neck or nothing
with the American colonies in 1776. Cross
ing the Atlantic ocean, so far as we can
learn from the manifestations Of Puritanism
in New England, had not much changed
the temper Of mems minds upon wide ques-
tions Of liberty.
We know that lame old Peter Sturtevant
abdicated his autocratlc power ON Mauhat-
tan island only when more potent tyrant
with two legs, brother Of the King of Eng,
land and admiral Of splendid fleet,
sailed into the harbOr OF New Amsterdam
We know that the Vlrginlans who were
created noble when Adam was placed In
Eden threw up their hats and professed
undying loyalty to the Stuart dynasty long
after the bulk Of the English people regarded
that dynasty with contempt, In fact, We
know that the fanatics, the scamps, and the
seallawags Of Europe were glad enough TO
become aristocrats In this or any other
country, when God had blessed them, IN an
ignorant age, with neither head nor heart
and with a little more money than the
people around them,
Human nature Is much the same every
where, and, with the exception of few
cultivated people whose knowledge of
European life enabled them to understand
the meaning Of liberty for all, the bulk OF
people who fought with Washington did so
only after that great general had placed the

Time to stop.

A press dispatch dated Paris, July ., and
published Yesterday morning states that the
committee appointed by NJ. de Freyclnet
10 investigate the Panama canal lottery
scheme say that they are ready to defend
the lottery bill from the tribune OF parllu-
ment II necessary. They are convinced
that the canal will be an international ad-
vantage. 1t is preferable, they say, that a
French company should accomplish the
work. They consider also that 1t is their
duty to support an enterprise which the
republic began.
"To support an enterprise which the
republic began." That is the meaty part
of the item. When did "the republic"
begin any canal or inaugurate any great
business enterprise on this continent?
We recall the fact that the empire, under
Louis Napoleon, took advantage of our
great civil conflict to set up an empire in
Mexico, and the world still remembers
that, when the Union army emerged vic
torious from that struggle and column Of
veteran troops started toward our south
western border, the French army was with
drawn in hot haste aud Napoleon's
wretched dupe, Maximillian, was left to
his miserable fate.
This loss OF military prestge--for what
could Bonaparte amount to without mill
itary prestige-spurred Napoleon on to the
doom which he met at Sedan. An oc-
casional mention in the newspapers Of
"Poor CarlottN" sufllces to keep green the
memory Of that last attempt Of France to
violate the Monroe doctrine.
No, the French republic did not begin
and has not assumed any responsibility for
the Panama canal.
Moreover, the French government has
officially declared to the government of the
United States that the republic had nothing
to do, as government, with that scheme.
The French republic has officially eX-
IiulhNh Nhhbi VI lhuIS hiu
invested money in the de Lesseps Panama
stocks, the government was clear of any
connection with it,
NJ. de Freycinet's committee has made a
great blunder, II the cable states the case
accurately, and the legislative department
of the French government will, we have no
doubt, hesitate before committing the re.
public to policy that must inevitably lead
to trouble. For, although there is no prob
ability Of the Panama canLl being com
pleted in this century or the early part OF
the next, 1t will not do for our govern
ment TO tacity consent to an assumption
of that work by France or any other foreign
power.
In this connection, and in conclusion, 1t
may be pertinent to suggest that the vir-
tual abandonment OF the Monroe doctrine
by President Cleveland in his annual mes
sage may have encouraged NJ. de Frey
cinet's committee to go to the extreme
point indicated in the telegram.

What Engineering Skill Can Do.

.
While much has been said about govern
ment jobs and political fraud attending the
completion of the Canadian Pacific road, It
still remains notable example Of engineer
Ing skill and business energy. To Join
Montreal to Vancouver by rail 1t was neces-
cary to cut through more than 800 miles Of
solid rock, TO turn fourteen streams from
their natural beds, to build hundreds Of
iron bridges, one being over 1000 feet long
and another some 2S6 feet high, and to
keep an army of men, sometimes as high
as 1900, continually employed. The cost
OF the road, plant and branches secured,
has been 81, 100000, which is some
what cheaper than our transconti-
mental lines, The present debt OF the
Canadian Pacific is S35, ,000, 900, which looks
small beside the 5000, ,O00, 600 and some of
Union Pacific liabilities. But the burden
OF debt depends upon the money-earning
capacity OF the property, and for this the
friends Of the Canadian Pacific must watch
and wait. With the opening of this new
route Canada gets to the Pacific coast by
travelling 370 miles less than we do. Liver
pool freight going via the United States to
the Pacific coast goes 720 miles more than
II would be compelled TO go on the Cana
dian route, and the advantage OF the latter
route over ours In the transshipment OF
goods from Liverpool to Yokohama is $50
miles. 1t is, therefore, pardonable In the
dominion papers at this time to celebrate
the opening OF their great road by visions
OF great commercial prosperity.

One Of the most frequent visitors az the
white house during the past three weeks
has been tall, olive-skuDcd, dreamy-eyed
girl, who is generally accompanied to the
grounds by a venerable old gentleman, with
one OF the sunnicst faces In the world. The
girl is Miss Helen Bancroft, and the old
gentleman is her grandfather, the historian.
Miss Bancroft's calls are not formal, or ln
the line Of society etiquette As soon as
she enters the white house she is shown TO
Mrs. Cleveland's apartments, and she sci
dom leaves short OF an hour or two. As
this occurs several times n week, IL is APP

interest for each other,
Since the first reception after the return
from Deer Park, the mistress OF the white
house aud the historians granddaughter
have grown as affectionate as a pair OF
school girls. Mrs. Cleveland saw Miss
Bancroft for the first time at the recep.
tion, and fell In love with her at first sight,
as girls fall in love with each other.
She took occasion before the reception was
over to get her In a corner, have chat
