The surrender of a large measure of sover-

LONDON, March 5-The Morning Post says

liberal donations to campaign funds. 1t Is d
form of the purchase system whc bodies no

reform must begin at the very apex OF the
pyramid. President Harrison's inaugural adj

Queting signs for those who IRE to find them
in the curious interchange OF views on CONNER
cial union between Canada and America than in
the fisheries question.
The Times doubts whether President Harri-
sons new departure relative to natural n ion
laws would be advan ageOus either FIR AlnercL
or the rest of the world. Mr.. Bialue'S foreign
20 icy, it says, appears prominently IN the adj
dress. The general assertion regarding Ealing
stations and harbors is probably intended to
cover both Samoa and the Canadian fisheries. In
the depart ment of finance, the Times thinks
PreS1dent 8 harrison : views are n0U very clear.
The Daily Telegraph says: There is nothing
at all in the address to excite alarm. The fact
that Mr.. Harrison is so well disposed to Geal
with foreign affairs in calm and equitable
spirit will be remarked with satisfaction by
every county IN the old world with whicl
America has friendly re atoms and occasional
differences"
The Chronicle says the address will be
searched il vain for anything calculated to enlist
the symDathes of Establishment.
The Standard, commenting on the inaugural
message of President Harrison, says: TIE
message, on the whole, is disappointing. Mr..
Harrison was under special obligation to strike
a resoundng chord. Some of the phrases sug-
gest Walt Viii man, but 1t is more reasonable O
credit the prolific fancy OF Mr.. Blaine with the
full unaided inspiration. 1t was certainly not
written to please Anglo SaXnns IN this side of
the Atlantic. II its form was not adopted with
any view to our appreciation, still less was lis
matter"
All the Un'onist dailes make a point of Mr..
Harrison's references to law and order as les
son to England in the Irish question.

No other people have governm ent more

magnificent In extent, so pleasant to look upon
and so full of generous suggestion to enterprise
and labor. God has placed upon our head a
diadem and has laid at our feet power and wealth
beyond definition calculation. But we must

pursue advantage at the expense OF pub

ne. hods, without protest and fatal dIsutfectiOu

unity of all our communities, and the Increasing
Intercourse of our people Is promoting mutual
respect We shall find unalloved pleasure in the
revelation which our next census Will make OF
the swift development OF the great res purces OF
