The Clarion does not like the action
of the Democratic State Committee on
the question of constitutional conven-

no help for it. The Committee could

Canadian Pacific and Grand Trunk Rail-
ways, privileges which subject our own
railways to disastrous competition We
are often told that In this matter OF con-
cessions to the Grand Trunk and Canadian
Pacific the local interests OF certain States
OF Maine and Minnesota, for examplc-con-
flict with those Of the country as whole.
So much tho worse for the local interests.
They should not be considered for mo-
mcnt when the dignity and welfare OF the
nation arc in question. Wo doubt whether
tho representatives OF those local interests
will dare to publicly nvow that they profit
by situation discreditable and hurtful to
tho community ut large.
The proposed imposition Of tolls on Cana
dian vessels using st. Marys Falls Canal is
a move in the right direction. But 1t does
not so far enough. 1t is not an adequate re-
joinder to tho discrimination made against
American vessels In tho Welland Canal. 1t
is not by that kind OF retaliation that tho
Ottawa Government can be made to vince.
II we want to cut of its financial resources.
Toe must put an end to the privileges enjoyed
BY the Grand Trunk and Canadian Pacific
Railuays. That is the blow. and the only
blow. that will bring the Canadian Tories
TO their knees.

contest from beginning to end. To

which find their expression In silence. To

matter OF Importance that Governor HILL

army he has done 80 much to organ
lzc and discipline, and has led to victories
SO momentous and fruitful. A genius In
politics. he never retreats before foe and
never deceives a friend. The New York
Democrats are with him. In failure as in
success. and he will be with them as long
as there is q political principle to defend, a
Republican antagonist to outgeneral. or

The Fable Of the Fool at PhiIippi.

On the evening preceding the second and
decisive battle OF Philippi. the outposts OF
tho legion OF OCTAvIUs brought to tho
headquarters OF that Roman General u
frantic and frenzied fugitive from the ene-
my's lines. On account OF his great talka-
tivenese he was supposed to be an important
capture and able to give Information about
the condition of things on the other side.
Investigation, however. showed that he
was merely demented and ill-starred per-
son. knowing nothing. The Roman COM
mander. amused at his subalterns mistake.
said: Fool. before you are freed. tell me
how may win to-morrow's battle"
The fool lost no time in replying. "In
the first place." no said. "you must send
back all your trained soldiers to Rome.
Then you must strip from off the breasts Of
your veterans their insignia gained by 10y
atty and daring. You must reduce your
best Generals to tho ranks. You must
abandon your protected positions. and re-
treat to less desirable ones. Then you
must in tho places OF those soldiers whose
services you have dispensed with. secure as
substitutes such deserters from the enemy
as you can find. and. intrusting the fight
to new hands. you shall win victory I'M
exampled in the annals OF Rome!''
The advice Of the fool was not taken. and
a splendid victory rewarded the arms OF
OcTAvIUs. In the carnage which followed
the fight the fool escaped.
