Suppose Canada Says No.

In the interviews Of THE Suns correspond
ent with Senator SHERMAN, Senator BLAIR,
Representative BUTTERwoRTH, and other
American advocates Of tho political fusion
OF the Canadian Dominion with the United
States, the acquiescence Of the Canadians
has been taken for granted. 1t has been
supposed that the main obstacle to such a
union would be encountered In Great Brit
ain, which--so it is alleged-could scarcely
condescend to sell or consent to surrender
gratuitously her huge dependency on this
side Of the Atlantic.
To this the friends Of the scheme reply
that II small things may be compared with
great, q precedent exists in the cession Of
tho Ionian Islands to Greece for England's
assent 10 tho incorporation OF the Dominion
with the United States. The British Gov
srnment obtained the Ionian Islands by con-
quest from France. precisely as she had ao-
quired Canada, yet. after holding them for
at least half century. made them over to
the country with which they were geographic
cally and ethnologIcally connected. 1t
should, however, be kept In mind that the
chief argument by which Mr.. GLADSTONE in
1854 defended that abandonment OF British
tohiAooiy wac lhO oeiohG iOOiiub CAhiuitOu Dy
the natives Of the islands In favor OF an
nexation to the Greek mainland. Had the
islanders strenuously protested against the
proposed cession, 1t would never have been
carried out.
Now, 1t must not be, overlooked that even
80 outspoken a champion of political ANAL
gamation as is Prof. GOODWIN SMITH admits
that at present the preponderant feeling in
Canada, is decidedly against the scheme.
Still more unequivocal evidence to the samo
effect is given by Mr.. ERAsTUs WndAN,
whose testimony to the existence of intense
Canadian aversion to fusion has the more
weight, because he evidently deems 1t un-
reasonable. This aspect Of the Canadian
question is considered by him at length in
lecture recently delivered. He sees and pro-
claims that Canada's "only hope OF success
full development and perfect growth" lies
In her more or less complete incor-
poration with the nation on her south
ern border. and he distinctly intimates
that 1t is "a foolish loyalty" and "an
