brooklyn Standard Union,
Many persons have known for long
time that Joe Jefferson was not only, the
most artistic of actors, but one OF tho
most active OF artists. Recently he has
turned out 10 be an author and lecturer,
and apoct rs well rs painter. Last
night, in opening tho actors fund iair,
he was delightful, This passage is iull
of charm:
II find I nm shut out from one-half
OF the audience by the house OF the i'm.
mortal Shakespeare. This is not tho
first time that / have been overwhelmed
and obstructed by him, but this, which
is very notifying to me, may DO OF
great benefit to the ladies on the other
side. (Laughter.) | can say, however,
that there is one actor under this roof
whom he has never obscured or OBJ.
structed. Loud cheers.) | need not
say who it is, rs you Stem at once to
recognize Edwin Booth. His genius
has shone upon tho American stage for
over a quarter Of century, and his
fame has crossed the Atlantic and
reached England and Germany. IRE
Moved applause.) Yes, and | hope
II ever no has to open q fair and speak
q piece, that he will say n good word
for me-" Laughter.)
In conclusion, Joe recited a poem OF
his own, which, as he said, was robbing
himself, as ho had spoken tho lines
before. The concluding ones we're: n
And, oh, my comrades, brothers all In art,
Permit me just one moment TO depart
From this, my subject, urging you some day
To seek this sacrcd spot, and humbly pray
That Shnkespcarc's rage toward us will kindly
soften,
Because, you know. we murdered him so often
! ask this for myself. Il poor comedian:
What should ask had been tragedian?

Canada is Getting Tired.


The Canadian legislature took action
the other day which has deep signif-
canoe. when the existing circumstances
are considered. In the last year there
was scarcely a Canadian province, per-
haps not one, in which the revenues
did not show deficit. 1t was greater
in some OF them than IN others, for
local or special reasons, but i'll all n de-
felt existed. In agricultural Manitoba
it was $4,000; in mining Nova Scotia it
was S27S,000. New Brunswick, Quebec
and, Ontario also showed balances on
the wrong side OF the public ledger.
British Columbia had such a shortage
OF funds that she had to increase her
debt. The reciprocity relations be-
tween this country and Cuba at the
same time, or in part of the same
time, have increased the trade between
these two countries almost beyond pre-
cedent, and an ora OF prosperity is re-
ported in. Cuba such as she never
saw before.
In view OF these well known facts it
is worthy OF comment that this week
the Canuck parliament passed resolu'
tions looking TO direct representation OF
the Canadian government at Washing
ton. 1t has always seemed an anomaly
that business OF state between the
United States and their nextdoor neigh.
Dor should be done through the repre-
scntatives OF European power. The
fisheries disputes, the sealing imbroglio,
and now the operations OF the McKin-
ley bill, have emphasized the unnatural
position in which Canada finds herself
toward power SO close to her borders
that their interests are by nature almost
identical. Tho old colonial system is a
government only by name, and people
with tho thrift, tho intelligence and the
progressive spirit OF our neighbors on
the north arc not to be expected to sit
long under its CALLING yoke, while the
fact that tho system does not benefit
England in any substantial way would
seem to promise that when Canada is
ready for change she has but to re-
solve upon it and it will be accom-.
plishcd.
