New Light Upon Canadlan Opinion.


We have had during the last week some
remarkable disclosures Of the drift of public
feeling In an important part Of Canada
toward political fusion with the United
States. We refer particularly to the decla-
xattons made by NJ. MERorER, the head Of
the provincial Ministry Of Quebec, and by
N. CHARLES THKBAULT, who also holds a
conspicuous position among French Ca
madam politicians. Their utterances at first
sight may seem inconsistent. but 1t will be
found upon reflection that they can be easily
reconciied.
II. MHRGmR said that his French Canadian
oountEymen desired separation from Eng
Land. But. as he also acknowledged that
they are not strong enough to stand alone
In political Independence. and have no wish
to resume their ancient relation to France,
the inference seems unavoidable that they
must contemplate annexation to the United
States. On the other hand, M. THRBAULT,
speaking at Montreal. and having In mind
the tremendous emigration OF his fellow
counttymen to our Eastern States. asserted
that In less than half q century Boston would
bo tho centre Of French Canadian nation,
and New England would then have become
our civil war. he could not possibly have
rcckoned on . secession Of the Eastern
States from the Union, the use of the word
"nation" must have been inadvertent, and
he also must have meant that tho whole
body OF French Canadians would become
American citizens.
II some representatives Of the preponder-
ant element In the population of the prov
ince Of Quebec dissent from the opinions ex-
pressed by N. MERoHR. 1t is. apparently,
because they misconeelve the relations of
our Federal and State Governments, and at
tribute TO the former the control OF religious
matters and common school arrangements.
They do not comprehend that Quebec, enter
Ing our Union as q separate State, would,
under our Constitution. retain the power Of
regulating itS own religious and educational
systemS.' We observe with some surprise,
for instance. that Judge FoURMmR Of the
Canada Supreme Court-a man who from
his vocation would be presumed to have
some acquaintance with the organic law of
neighbortng country-is credited with say
Ing that annexation would place the Cana
dian Catholics at the mercy of tho anti Cath
Olic legtslation OF tho United States In
school anf other matters" We beg leave
to ASSURE Judge FoURNIER that annexa-
ton could have no such consequences.
There hAe nsvsr been any anti Catholic
leg1slatio4 on ths part of the Federal Gov
ernment " the Dnited States. II the local
government Of any single State has failed to
0soe m al rsaDoCts the wishes OF Catholics.

A Hoe.

AHetIO 1nCfdont which we ind mentioned
IN the Sacramento Record Uaion bears some
what upon tho present situation.
Almost every ono has heard Of Captain
JoHK A. SUFFER-. the California pioneer. who
founded the earliest settlement Of white
men on the site now occupied by the city OF
Sacramento. Here, seven years before the
discovery Of gold In California, he built
fort which was the asylum Of tho earliest
travellers overland from the United States.
II was structure Of palisades. and the land
on which It stood now belongs to citizen Of
Chicago. In Sacramento many Of the most
Influential citizens are desirous Of having
the old fort restored and converted into a
Smsll park In order thus to preserve place
Of 90 much historic interest to the people of
California. and indeed 10 those Of the entire
Pacific coast It appears, however. that their
wish cannot be carried into effect. The
owner IL deaf to the hundreds Of requests
that have been made to flx o price on the
property, and refuses to sell It, but permits
II to be used for purposes Of pasturage.
Streets are soon to be opened In that part Of
the city. and the result will DO division Of
the plot into small parcels 90 as to destroy
all possibility Of Identifying 1t.
Naturally this does not please the saora-
mento Record Onion. That journal proposes
that when the streets are cut through. q
stone be placed at the intersection to mark
the spot where JONI A. SUTER raised the
American flag. and gave shelter to tho early
pioneers Of California; and on that stone,
says our contemporary, let there be inscribed
"the fact that o certain citizen Of Chicago"
naming him. "stubbornly refused to sell the
historic spot 10 tho people for a reserve at
any prioe."
The journals Of chicago, who have attract
cd good deal Of attention to themselves at
this time on account OF their effort to get
the Worlds Fair there for 1892, are never
tired Of extolllng tho public spirit Of Chi
cago people as compared with that which
prevails here In New York and In other cities
In the East. They would have US believe
that Chicago possesses o monopoly Of civic
pride. Before any moro such talk they had
better induce the citizen thus mentioned to
permit tho preservation Of Suffers Fort
Gt Sacramento as historic pleasure ground

"Mr. RANDALL is q Democrat whose place would bs

The attempt was made In 1888 to fill Mr..
RANDALLs place Of leader Of the National
Democracy, with the result that the party
walked out OF Office 1t had come in under
RANDALL and it went out under the great
FREQ trade trust organized by ROGER
QUARLEs MILLS, GROVER CLEVELAND,
HENRY WATTERsoN, and BILL SCOTT. Since
then the absorbing impulse Of these gentle
men has been to abuse the successful Demo-
crat and to warble hymns upon their own
greatness.
Our esteemed Missouri contemporary can
go further. 1t can truthfully say that while
RANDALL lives he is a statesman who, as
concerns his services to Jeffersonlan Democ-
racy cannot be replaced at all.

moreover, from the striking statistics laid

they do not violate the Federal organic law.
They can, II they choose. establish separate

that they would wish TO take the latter step,
after they wero thoroughly alive to tho
largo measure OF Independence enjoyed by
q State under our political system. They
would probably deslre to level as fast as
possible the linguistic barrier between them
selves and tho great body Of their fellow
Catholics In the United States. But what
we would now bring homo to them is a
knowledge Of the fact that whatever might
be their preference In the matter Of lam
guage, they could indulge It, within the
wide limits Of State authority, wherever
they possessed numerical majority.

SECRET somEz1Es AND oArHoI1c&
Report that the Church Was TO Change Its
Attitude Pronounced Untrue By Bishop
Ryan.

Prom tae Buodlo CouTfeT.
A most surprising announcement with
reference to secret societies has been made
since the Catholic Congress began It's sessions
In Baltimore The assertion was that the ban
OF tho Church was to be lifted absolutely from
every sort of secret organization except the
Masonic order. and that even the objections to
this fraternity would probably be waived
within twelve monthB.
One OF the most startling features Of this
declaration. in the opinion OF Bishop Ryan.
who was consulted yesterday with regard to it,
is the UNPARALLELED assumption In attemptinRt to
speak for the dignitarieB Of the Church. Bishop
Ryan declared that there was NO authority for

The Bishop was sure he knew as much about
unidentified lay delegate. and he had not
heard prior to the publication Of the interview,
anything about the secret society question.
"The legislation Of the Church is sufficient
upon the question" he said. Our laws could
not be changed unless the Arch bishops met for
that purpose. Thie know they did not do
