cHAmBERLAiN ENLIGHTENED.
The Toronto Globe Speaks Again Of
the English NegotIator.

TORONTO, Jan. 4.-The Globe, in an edi-
torial headed "Mr. Chamberlain Enlight-
ened," says: chamberlain must have
ascertained that in Canada the people are
unanimously for large measure of reci-
procity, and most of the opposition to the
latter comes. not so much from hostility to
continental free trade as from doubt
whether it cam be obtained on terms that
will leave Canada politically undisturbed
IL the United States Congress would adopt
the Butterworth bill, an extremely unlikely
event, the Tory government of Canada would
not dare to refuse the proffered boon. At
present the movement for commercial union,
on this side of the line, is blocked by the
natural fear that the other side may make
no practical response. The government at
Washington may be similarly doubtful of
the Canadian meaning. With his new knowl-
edge of the state of feeling in Canada,
Chamberlain is In position to attempt the
truly diplomatic work of bringing to an
agreement the two parties that desiIe the
settlement, but do not know enough of each
Others mind to venture on distinct PROPOSE
tions. Should he actively exert himself to
further reciprocity in the largest degree con-
sistent with Canada's status, he will earn
tae gratitude of this country. Should he
succeed. he will be justly ranked with its
greatest benefactors."
