CANADA'S FUTURE.
The Sentiment Of the People in Favor
Of Joining the United States.

New YORK, Feb. 7.-Professor Goodwin
Smith of Toronto, in a letter to the Times,
explains the political situation in Canada.
He says: 1.-The immediate issue is that of
trade with the United States, but beneath
this lies the broader issue between the con-
tinental and anti-continental policy The
Liberals of Canada, whether they look for
tke intimate entrance of Canada into the
American Union or not are now men of this
continent and regard the inhabitants of the
rest of it as partners, and desire to cultivate
the closest relations with them. The Con-
servatiyes are anti-continentsl. They de-
sire to keep Canada in all things divided
from her continental tendencies and at
tached to Great Britain. where the social
center of their party lies. Practically they
seek 10 make Canada the engine Of the Con-
seryative aristocracy of Great Britain for
averting the triumph of the democracy of
the New World and keeping part of the
American Continent under aristocratic in
mental party. Sir John Macdonald is
the chief. His whole policy has
been directed against closer relations
with the United States. The Canadian
Pacific Hallway was his destined instrument,
though the course of events by which his
National " Railway has been converted
into half an American road seems to prove
hopeless the light against nature. For the
commercial question by itself lie may be
said to care comparatively little. Among
the people, whatever may lie their political
bearing toward the United States, the desire
for free trade with their own continent
grows apace. II the people are let alone
there can be no doubt the verdict will be in
favor of reciprocity and against protec-
ZIONIST Government. But the people will
not BE- let alone. The country has been
governed for twenty-five years largely by
corruption, carried on by means of Federal
subsidies to provinces, which our constitu-
tion unfortunately permits, Federal grants
10 local public works, concessions to con-
tractors and bribery of all kinds. These
engines will all be piled on the people,
whose political tone has been sadly lowered
by long subjection To their influence. The
Governments majority in the late Parlia-
ment was over fifty on division in a
House of 215 members, so that the Liberals
have considerable leeway to make up. On
the other hand, many Government seats
were won at the last election by small ma
jorities, which. if the people were to vote
freely according to their convictions on the
commercial questions, would no doubt be
reversed"

A new MOVE,
Silver Men Working to Secure a Vote on
Free Coinage.

WASHINGTON, Feb. I'm the House to-
day Townsend of Colorado offered for
reference resolution amending the rules of
the House so as to provide that when four
members of any committee shall make
statement in writing that after five hear
ings on any till other than revenue or ap-
preparation bills, the committee ref uses to
make any report, favorable or unfavorable,
IL may be In order to move to discharge
said committee from further conSiderati
of the measure. This amendment of the
rules is directed especially towards the
Committee on Coinage, Weights and
Measures, n aviDg charge of the Free Coin
age Bill.
The Star says: sit is threatened by the
Republicans of the House that if the Senate
attach a free coinage amendment to any
Appropriation Bill they will amend it by
putting on the Force Bill as a rider If
this Is done and the bill is sent to the Pres-
dent it is said he would probably sign the
Conglnmerate Bill taking free Coinage
rather than veto the Appropriation Bill and
Force Bill. This may deter the Democrats
from entering upon plan Of putting free
coinage on an Appropriation BILL
Since the defeat Of the attempt to have
free coinage amendment attached as a rider
to the Sundry Civil Appropriation Bill. the
silver men have been busy devi,ing
other schemes by means Of which to compel
vote by the House on the question of free
coinage. The vote yesterday is not regarded
BY them as a fair test of strength for the
reason that it was complicated with ques-
ton OF parliamentary practice, on which
they did not regard their position as strongly
fortified, and they are, therefore, anxious to
bring the matter up in some new form. The
Townsend resolution offered to-day was the
first effort in the new plan OF campaign.
The opponents of the Free Coinage Bill will
resort to every available means to secure
the attendance of absentees who are known
to be opposed 10 free silver coinage.
The caucus OF Democratic members of the
House. which was called together at the
suggestion Of Bland, was sliinly attended,
only slXty-one members being present The
Silver Bill was the sole tonic under consider
alton, and after several resolutions had
been offered and withdrawn the following
resolution was offered by Richardson OF
tennessee and unanimously adopted: "It
is the sense of this caucus that the Senate
Silver Bill is, in our opinion, an important
public measure deserving due consideration
by the House, and we earnestly request the
committee to which the same was referred
nearly month ago to report it to the House
without delay" Adjourned.

BERLIN, Feb. 7.-Oficial assurances from
Rome that the Marquis di Rudini will per-
sonally guide Italy's foreign policy, assum-
ing Slgnor Crispps engagements, including
the strengthened ornaments, have removed
much disQuict here. Emperor William mad
communicated to King Humbert at the ear
liest period of Crispis resignation intimating
his determination to agree to no Ministry
that would imperil the Dreibund. Chance-
lor Capriyi, during his recent visit to Milan,
arranged for the completion of the Italian
armament with the newest weapons, smoke
less powder, etc, involving an outlay of
money derived from the new Italian loan, to
which Crispi assented. On CapIiv's return
here diplomatic documents, forming the ap-
pendix Of the treaty of alliance, were got,
SlEnor Crispi formally pledging Italy to
army reforms, in which the German Gov
ernment was to assist in the manufacture of
weapons, the production of munitions and
the furnishing of skilledinstructors.
The question troubling the Emperor's
confilants was how far Crispi's successor
would accept the engagements made. DIR.
Miguel assisted in the solution of the crisis
by getting a group of German financial
houses to promise to facilitate the new Ital-
ian loan when it should be found necessary
for that Government to obtain funds. I'm
til the Italian Cabinet shall have been COM
pleted and its character seen, Italy's posi-
tion will remain rather insecure.
wALDERsEE's SUCCESSOR.
The Emperor has not yet settled the su c.
ceSs0rship to Waldersee. The latter aimed
10 succeed Moltke in the virtual control of
all the German armies. The Emperor
means to succeed Moltke himself, and that
his chief of general staff must be OF
strictly subordinate spirit.
COLONIAL MATTERS.
Further changes in the Ministry are im-
minent The debates on colonial matters
in the Reichstag disclosed the fact that
there has been q rapid abatement in the
fervor of the members favoring German
colonial extension. No prominent man of
any party avowed adherence to the projects
for further territorial acquisition. Much
doubt is expressed as to the value of the
territory recently annexed by Germany.
MANUFACTURE OF LYMPH.
Although the Government has definitely
abandoned the nl0noeoly of the production
OF Koch lymph, measures are being pre-
pared for rigid state control OF its sale and
supervision of its manufacture. Chemists
will not be allowed to sell it unless analysts
have confirmed its purity. Under an order
from the Ministry all the clinics report the
results Of treatment by the Koch method.
so far as received a ma ajority of the reports
are in favor of the treatment. Some, how
ever, report disastrous results.

Chinese Raligion

NEW YORK, Feb. 7.-At meeting of the

to-day, Rev. DIR. W. A. p. Martin, President
OF the Imperial University of Peking, China,
discussed the three religions OF China-Con-
fucianism, Tauism and Notwithstanding
the rise and development of each and the in
fuence of each on the minds of the Chinese
people. Confucianism did not originate
with the reputed founder. Confueius, by
his own admission, was an editor, not an au-
thor. The earliest records which he edited
date back to B. G.. 2200. Tauism was adj
yanced on Confucianism, and Buddhism was
in turn advanced on Tauism.
