We learn from the Montreal Witness
fhat petitions are in circulation in the Do
Ginion praying the Government to close
Che Canadian canals to American vessels
because the New York canals are closed to
Canadian boats. OF course Canada can
close her canals against us if she chooses,
but the excuse offered for the proposed
action is silly. New York is an independ-
ent State of the American Union, and she
has never even been asked in her soyer-
eign capacity, to permit the passage of
Canadian boats. But on the other hand,
TIE canals under the control of the Fed
erai Government, at Sault Ste Marie and
at St. Clair Flats, have been free to the
Canadians, and the use of these waterways
has been just as valuable to the Canadians
rs has the use of their canals by our peo-
pie been valuable to us. If the Canadians
attempt any coercion in this matter they
will certainly find the Sault Ste Marie
canal, upon which they are absolutely de-
pendent, will be denied to them The
Witness says:
The strongest reason of all for continuing the
present arrangement is that it is case where
6he generous course is the honorable as well IS
she wise one. By allowing our canals to remain
open to American vessels we do not encourage
thi-ving or flibustering or any attempt to in
r.nge Canada's territorial claims, and we do
pursue the magnanimous and dignified course
Cauada and the United States should in all in
SeIl stiouai matters treat ono another rola-
lives who desire to draw the bonds uniting
them ever closer and to make their relations as
kindly and helpful as possible.
Which is very gracious expression; but
how does it comport with the scheme of
the Dominion Government on wheels TO
cripple, and, if it can, absorb the entire
through transcontinental traffic to the de-
struction of American lines of transporta-
tionp

Broadway near Sansome when number
of young toughs that were standing there
called him a "Dago" and other obs me
names. He made a motion to draw re-
yolver, when the hoodlums scattered.
Holding the pistol behind his back and
wslking along, he caught sight of two of
the men-one named Dan Reardon, but re-

he had been a trusty for some time, and

who this morning was acquitted on 8
charge of robbery-and stepping in front of
Brown ran away, and Abatti fired at him,
but did not hit him. By this time the
police came up and arrested the shooter,
and took the wounded man to the hospital,
where it was found the bullet had passed
through his body, producing fatal wound.
Reardon died tonight at 10 o'clock.

The San Froncisco Cal, in treating the
question of the competition of the Cana
dian Pacific Railroad, says that if the
English scheme of diyerting traffic from
American lines succeeds, the injury will
be felt 10y every town and city in Califor-
mia; which is very true. 1t is the part OF
wisdom for the citizen to thoroughly in
form himself upon the question, and be
prepared to intelligcntly discuss it when
the people are called on to pronounce upon
the American policy that must be declared
In this matter.

The Toronto Nal says that the sum of
the subsidies granted TO the Canadian rail-
roads constituting the Pacific and Atlantic
route is $lS0,oOO,0OO, which is equal to a
per capita contribution of $50 from the
whole population. 1t declares that such
an enormous grant is audacity itself, and
that it behooves the Government to bestir
itself to stimulate the settlement Of the
country, that it may not suffer for its liber-
ality. In that estimate we do not think
the Mad included the S2,500,000 annual
subsidy to the Asiatic line Of steamers that
connect the Canadian Pacific with the
Orient, and threaten the commercial i'm
portance of San Francisco.

Important Decision.

WASHINGTON, July 23d.-Attorney-G Gen.
eral Miller has given an important opinion
in the case of the naval cadet who rendered
his resignation, which was duly accepted.
The resignation was subsequently, regarded
as Withdrawn, and the cadet was sent back
to the academy. The Attorney General
is of the opinion that the consent of the
Secretary of the Navy to the withdrawal of
the resignation had no legal effect what
ever. On the acceptance of the resignation
the cadet ceased to be in the service

MIR. LAWYER, Of Chicago, organized
some relief meetings for the benefit of
striking and locked out miners in Illinois.
Ihereupon those pestiferous fellows, the
Anarchists of Chicago, came forward and
desired to run the meetings. Mr. Lawler
would not permit it, however, saying 81
ain as deeply interested In the labor
movement a; any one else; but | say a
plague upon the persons that bring isms'
into this meeting tonight. This is not
the time or place. We are here to give
relief to starving people. We care moth
lng for the causes or reasons of the strike"
Sensible Mr. Lawler Neither do the
Anarchists care anything for the causes,
or the wisdom, or the folly of the strike
They have but one purpose when they
project themselves into publicity and at
tempt 10 invade the workingmsn's schemes
under the plea of sympathy, and that
purpose is strife; the stirring up of anger,
hatred and all manner of ILL., Their
iHolIo j. Stdp the law, anu II matters
not 10 them whose the hand that does it.
Ii by the suferings Of the Illinois miners
they could secure the uprising Of the dis
contented and lazy against the constituted
authorities in a single ward Of the city of
Chicago, for all they would care, the
Anarchists would leave the miners to
starve. If ever Anarchism was the friend
of labor, the world has not heard of it, and
there is no record of its having been
demonstrated The truth is that the
Anarchist hates labor cordially.

THE SEMl-CENTENNIAL.

Fifty years passed away and the semi-cen-
tennial of the FIRST Inauguration was celebrated
by the New York Historical society April
80, 1899 The accomplished John Quincy
Adams delivered an eloquent address Forty
one years more passed, and in 1880 the
chamber OF commerce of New York began
the movement to erect Il colossal bronze
statue of Washington on the same spot
where he took the inaugural oath The nee
essary money was raised in Il few days and
the work was executed by the eminent sculp-
tor, John Quincy Adams Ward.
On the 18th of November, 1888 the one
hundredth anniversary of Washington's en-
trance into New York city, the unwilling
ceremonies took place, unfortunately in the
mist of a drenchiug rain. George w Lane,
president of the chamber of commerce, pre-
sided Richard S. Storrs offered prayer
Royal Phillips in behalf of the chamber of
commerce, reported respecting the work
Governor Grover Cleveland, of New York,
unveiled the statue, and President Arthur
accepted it on behalf of the government of
the United States. An eloquent address was
delivered by George William Curtis and the
benediction pronounced by Rt. Rev. Henry
c. Potter, bishop of New York. Two years
later the New York Historical society began
the movement for a centennial celebration,
which has now reached such immense proper
lions. All the old societies Of New York have
joined in. Committees have been organized
on every branch of the work, of which it is
only necessary to mention the most RESPONSE
BILE and those of most historic note

and such ladies as they shall choose, and
along with these other sets will be mado up
Of people who are the lineal descendants OF
the heroes Of the revolution.
The committee on art have arranged de-
signs for the hall, in which the American
Eagle, the Father of His Country, the Star
Spangled Banner, Peace, Victory, Fortune,
the Genius of the Republic, Liberty, and the
Goddess Of Justice will be presented in the
most impressive styles of art. Bronze medals
have also been struck, having on one side
medallion of Washington and on the other
appropriate Inscriptions. These are to be
kept as historic souvenirs. The badges OF the
committee and the drapings Of the hall will
be arranged in various colors, namely; For
the general government, in red, white and
blue; for the army, light blue; for the navy,
dark blue, and for the other committees and
departments in appropriate colors
g The great day of April 80 will begin
with demonstration unique in itself, and
which could probably occur in no other coun-
try in the world; at any rate it distinguishes
the American republic above all others
Representatives of all the great religious
bodies in America have combined in re-
quest to the people of their respective beliefs

PLAN OF THE CENTENNIAL.

The general outline of proceedings will be
as follows, to which will be added a supple
mentary outline for each separate depart
ment, and directions furnished upon the
ground for each of the different detachElents
represented by various nations and various
departments of the government:
l. The president of the United States, pro-
ceeding through Philadelphia and New Jer-
sey, halting in the same manner and stopping
at the same places as did Washington, viii
arrive at the harbor of New York on Mon
day, April 20, will be met by deputation of
the officials of New York state and city and
taken thence on a government dispatch boat
to the foot of Wall street in the city of New
York, passing en- route the United States and
foreign ships of war, the yachts of all the
clubs which may be present arranged in
proper order and large number of other
vessels suitably decorated for the occasion.
In this progress he will be received by the
crews of all the vessels with the honor due
his Office and by the ships of war with the
salute prescribed by law for the president.
At Wall street the president will be formally
welcomed by his honor Mayor Grant, of New
York, and escorted to his quarters.
On the evening of April 90 will occur the
great ball at the Metropolitan Opera house.
which is designed to be the greatest assembly
of the kind the world ever saw. At the head
of the principal committee in arranging for
this ball is Mr.. Ward McAllister, the recog-
nized authority on matters of social rank,
adornment and taste in the city of New York,
who has devised many unique and original
features, making the ball as distinctively
American as possible The dance Will be
opened with quadrille, wherein the dancers
will be the president, vice president and their
wives, with Governor Hill and Mayor Grant

Chancellor Livingston slowly pronounced
the oath. Washington reverently repeated 1t
after him. The Bible was raised. As the
president bowed 10 kiss it, he said in a clear
voicei "Iswear," then, CLOSING his eyes, added,
$50 help me, God"
ut is DONE" said the chancellor. Then,
turning to the multitude, he said in a loud
voice:
"Long live George Washington, president
Of the United States"
Instantly the flag was run up to the top of
the staff of the cupola of Federal hall, and all
the bells of the city broke forth at once.
Shouts and acclamations from the waiting
thousands were repeated again and again,
and cannon doomed from every point of the
compass from land and Sater. Although
century has passed, what American can read
of this inspiring theme without feeling his
pulses thrill anewi

Historical reproductions will show New
York as it was when Hendrick Hudson
landed in September, 1909, and again as It
was in the days of the Dutch and early Eng
lish occupation, the colonial days, and, in
short, all its stages from the seaport town to
the metropolis of the western world. SINH
larly visitors from every section of the coun-
try will see their progress portrayed, from
tho wigwam in the forest, the rude hut of
the settler and the early town to the present
time 1t is believed that in the way of typi-
flying a hundred years progress Of a great
nation in general and detail the industrial
parade will be among the most attractive
features of the centennial
Although the committees have arranged but
for three days, yet number of supplementary
exhibitions Of various kinds will precede and
follow the centennial During the entire month
of April there will be an exhibition of historical
portraits in the Metropolitan Opera House,
and Of portraits, letters and documents never
before exhibited to the public. Among the
noted relics will be the chairs which stood in
Federal hall, especially that occupied By
Washington during the first days of the presi-
dency. The noted portrait of George Wash
ington painted by Gilbert Stuart, at Mount
Vernon, in 1871, and given by Washington to
Alexander Hamilton, portrait which has
never been photographed or engraved, will
be on exhibition. 1t is now the property Of
Hamiiton's grandson, Alexander Hamilton,
of New York
