a very strong sentiment in favor of freer
trade relations; but that Canada is to choose
her own course, develop her own character
and work out her own destiny, is, am sure,
the sentiment of an immense majority.
I am particularly struck with the fact
that this feeling is not bounded by race The
Irish are, if possible, more enthusiastic Ca
nadians than these of English blood, and the
Scotch Cath olics most enthusiastic Of all.
This seems very strange to one familiar with
the attitude of the Irish in the United States,
and of course O chance traveller may be badly
mistaken; but there is no discord in the sound
that comes to my ears Thomas Darcy
MCGEE, for instance, is regarded by men of
all races as a sort of martyr to Canadian
nationality, and though be was Young
Ireland" agitator in his native land, no one
in Canada thinks of raking up the events of
1S4S-5O in weighing his public services. He
was an ardent Canadian-that is sufficient.
He was killed $50 the popular opinion runs
in consequence Of bis loyalty to Canada; he
therefore takes his place in the Canadian ma
tional Pantheon. Similarly the governor
styled lieutenant governor) of Prince Ed
wards Island, Hon. A. A. Macdonald, is of
pure Gaelic-Scotch blood, and the premier,
Hon. W. W. Sullivan, of pure Irish blood,
and both Catholics, yet both are as ardent
Canadians as any met
There is, however, general feeling in favor
of closer trade relations with the United
States a willingness to concede much for
concessions in return, and venture to guess,
as a Hoosier Yankee may, that this sentiment
| will prevail over "the government" as they
call the men in power at the time. AS to
| the Canadian national sentiment generally
cannot do better than to set it forth in the
words of an Ontario editor, on religious
paper, believe:

Troubled Theology.

It cannot be concealed that two great
questions are now agitating the religious
world. One of these is the Calvinistic
doctrine of election and generalization.
There are communicates of the Presby-
terrain church, devout Christians, who
find it difficult to believe that certain of
their fellcSS- men are foreordained from
tho founds@sons of the world to be
damned, while Others are elected to he
saved.
The other burning question is one that
is causing deep and anxious thought in
various Protestant denominations. It
concerns the state of man after death.
Is the punishment of the evil doer eter-
nal, or is there time of probation al
lowed him after death, during which,
by suffering and penitence, he can atone
in a measure for the sins committed in
the body, and after purgation be fitted for
the Joys of heaven? The latter view is, in
fact, a departure from the belief in eter-
nal punishment, and is called the doctrine
of future probation. 1t is an oriental and
Roman Catholic tenet, and many learned
and devout Protestants have given their
adherence to it. That the subject is
stirring the Episcopal church was shown
in the animated discussion on form of
prayer for the dead which was proposed,
but not adopted, among the changes in
the prayer book.

The young gentlemen students of the
University of Pennsylvania, who oppose
the equal admission of women to this
state institution, assert that if girls want
an education there are colleges provided
for their own sex, where they can get
all the higher education they want. This
is not true. There is not an exclusively
female school Oh the globe this day where
girls can get any education to compare
with that of Harvard, Michigan Uni
versity or Cornell. The question re-
minds one of the remark of Fred Doug
lass when the subject of admitting col
ored persons to the spectators galleries
in the Capitol at Washington was dis
cussed. Douglass said: "Well, if the
negroes can stand congress, guess con-
gress can stand the negroes"

1t may not have been just the thing,
but it is certainly very amusing, that
newspaper reporters interview with the
eldest son and heir of Mrs. Frances Hodg-
son Burnett on the subject of Little Lord

of the efforts of his mother to make him

Two Good Ideas.

If the story of two new patent processes
is not somebody's joke, then we are soon
to have the benefit Of couple of valu-
able inventions. 1t is said that an Ohio
young woman, Miss Proctor, of Lima,
has patented process by which she ex-
tracts 10000 feet of Illuminating gas
from one barrel of petroleum. II this
be true, here is welcome release from
many human Inconvenience. If the
process makes Illuminating gas it can
also be utilized for fuel gas. What is
more, in time every farmer in the land
can have his house Illuminated and
heated by gas. for the machinery can be
made small and inexpensive in convert
ing oil into gas.
The other idea bears also on the fuel
question. The trade journal Iron men
lions that at last there is an invention
that treats coal chemically before it is
put upon the fire, and SO prevents the
liberation Of smoke. The coal is dipped
into the preparation, which hardens it
and keeps the smoke and gases within
it. The editor of Iron saw two CRATE
fires in room together. In one of them
the coal had been treated by the new
process, in the other not. The ordinary
coal burned with the usual tarry smoke,
while in the CRATE with the chemicalized
coal there was bright glow and fame,
but almost no smoke.

CoIored Orators.

The fact that colored student has
been chosen class day orator of the senior
class at Harvard college has excited gen.
eral comment. The fact that he is very
black, was born a slave, and supported
himself by working as barber while
getting his education has also attracted
it's due share of attention. The negro,
Clement G. Morgan, is graceful and
forceful speaker, and, it is said, would
have been chosen just the same for class
orator if he had been white. Among
the 1900 students at Harvard three are
coIored, and it is noticeable that two Of
the three have obtained prizes for oratory.
1t seems, indeed, as if the first intel
lectual development of the colored race
in the United States will be in the line
of oratory. Long ago two ex-slaves,
Frederick Douglass and Sojourner Truth,
distinguished themselves as speakers.
w. E. B. Dubois is the other colored
student at Harvard who carried off a
prize for oratory. Both expect to be
lawyers in the south.
Fervid specimens of negro oratory
were uttered on the day of fasting and
prayerarecently appointed by the colored
race for the deliEerance of their people
from outrages in this Union. Rev. w.
B. johnson, negro preacher in WASH
.ington, said his people, were fast learn
ing the lesson of organization from the
Hishman and the socialist, and twenty
years from now they would not be the
docile beings of today. Another colored
minister, Rev. George Lee, said the me-.
groes must take their rights in their own
hands and maintain them. A signif-
cant rtterance was this: 1.-THE civil
rights bill always has been failure. It

Cost of a Great Newspaper.

SOSt vi IL ANS"SPtSESSAs
In an interesting paper in Lippincott's
Magazine Melville Phillips figures out
the cost of one of those mammoth jour
nails of the present that take whole day
to read them thoroughly. when anybody
does read them.
The paper bills are the item of greatest
cost, though it hardly seems so. a daily
of the largest size. with an average cir
culation of say $4,000. costs $1,000 a
day, or nearly that. for paper alone For
the ten aud twelve page dailics the COM
position bills are $4,000 weekly.
What may be called the brains COM
ponent of a newspaper is, strange to say,
the least item of its cost. Many a hard
working day and night reporter on a
newspaper is not paid weekly as much
by third or fourth as the printer who
weaves into type the spinnings of his
brain. There are journals, highly sue
cessful ones too, that pay their compost
tors four or five thousand dollars week
and their editorial writers less than
hundred. On the other side are journals
that pay as much as $1,000 weekly for
editorial writing. The best paid writer
of this class in the Union is said to be
Mr.. Mayo W. Hazeltine, of The New
York Sun. In connection with this it
may be said that the excellence of The
Suns editorial page is noted among news
paper people.
Another item of expense unknown to
the old-time journal is the telegraph news
service. Papers like the ST. Louis Globe
Democrat, Cincinnati Enquirer, Phila-
delphia Press. New York World and sey-
eral other New York papers pay anywhere
from $500 10 81, 200 weekly for telegraph
news from all parts Of the world, Some
of the papers THAT pay the least for ed
itorial writing 50 to the heaviest expense
for telegraph news. l.1..<;,' newspapers
pay reporters SD - - 4 week, and the
city editor <""}3 to $50 weekly, and have
staff of from ten TO twenty-five report
ers.
Each of the great newspapers has its
own telegraph Office under its own roof,
with from two to five persons who re-
ceive the news, night and day, and edit
it for publication. The syndicate idea is
now utilized to it's furthest extreme, both
in news and correspondence, by journals
in different cities clubbing together and
paying in partnership for matter each can
use in its own place. The managing
editor of large journal gets $50 to $50 a
week. 1t is said that Mr.. John A. Cock
Grill, managing editor of The New York
World, is paid $50, 700 year. Summed
all up, our largest newspapers cost mil
lion dollars annually, and sometimes
more than that.

Eight EOurS G. DAY.

An attempt was made in 1886, by the
Federation of Trades and Labor unions,
to establish the eight hours working day
throughout the country. The effort was
successful among the cigar makers and
German printers. Furniture workers
compromised with their employers on
nine hours. Carpenters obtained also
important concessions. In eighty-four
cities their working day was reduced to
nine hours, while in seven cities they OBJ
tanned their full demand for eight hours.
These were the substantial results from
the effort of 1886.
The two organizations named have
since been merged into the Federation of
Labor, with membership of 100000. 1t
embraces all the most powerful trades
unions in the land With this power be-
hind it the Federation proposes again to
take up the fight for the eight hours la
Dor day. As a beginning they have
asked Mr.. Powderly to present the sub
jcct to the general assembly Of the
knights of Labor at Atlanta in Noven-
Der 1t is expected this will be done.
Then, with the moral support of the
knights, the Federation will make its
fight. The general adoption of the eight
hours working day is set for May l, 1890.
Eight hour leagues will be formed
among working people throughout the
country, literature and statistics will be
scattered broadcast, and all means Of
peaceful agitation taken to arouse the
labor element to the occasion. A national
day will be set apart to win adherents to
the cause. Strikes will only be resorted
! to as last necessity.
The Federation of Labor believe that,
with wise management, the movement
will succeed this time. Mr.. Samuel
Gompers, president of the Federation, re-
minds doubters that not the first, or even
the second attempt of any movement for
improving the condition of whole peo-
! pie is successful, though it be carried at
+ last. Among arguments for the eight
hours labor day Mr.. Gompers adduces
/ these:
! We find today that the working people of the
country are forced upon either one or the other
/ horn Of dilemma, the acceptance Of low wages
! or the going without employment by reason 81
the vast army of unemployed 1t seems 70 me to
be not only q consideration of hum.n to find
employment for those VIII" aie willing to work
! and cannot find it. but consideration OF the
| most mate::-: OF our interests, that Of making
o,.r employment more steady and rendering our
wages more staple and less liable to reduction.
These considerations demand of US that we re-
duce the hours of labor to eight per day.
Certainly in this latter part Of the nineteenth
century, with all the implements Of machinery,
science and knowledge contributing toward the
production of wealth, we have arrived at that
stage when eight hours per day is more than
sufficient to produce all the necessaries and the
h1zllries that anY people can reasonably want
