Of two men, giving the names of James

The absorption of Newfoundland into
the Dominion of Canada is being dis
cussed as a probability of the near
future. Representatives of the two gov
ernments have been holding n confer
ence at Halifax, which is reported to
have resulted in the formulation of a
basis of union to be submitted to the
governments Of Canada and Newfound-
land, respectively, for approval. Should
this agreement meet the appreciation of
the respective governments, the people
of Newfoundland are to be given an
opportunity to vote for or against the
contamination of the project. The an
nexation of Newfoundland would add
to Canada 10000 square miles Of terri
tory and about 10000 population. With
this addition Canada will have an area
of about 3,55O,0O0 square miles and a
population of about 100000. Not over
two years ago Canada and Newfound-
land were on decidedly unneighborly
terms, quarreling about the fisheries and
pretty much every other interest affect.

The Philadelphia Epening Telegraph,
Rep, notes that the defeated candidate
for the Yice-presidency, Mr.. Whitelaw
Reid, was the one speaker at the New
York Chamber of Commerce banquet
"whc undertook directly to question
the wisdom and justice of the policy
contemplated by the successful party in
the recent national contest" and pro-
ceeds to administer the following
wholesome advice, which we commend
to other prophets of calamity" as this
Republican newspaper styles Mr.. Reid
Mr.. Reid may think it incumbent upon
him to try to persuade the Democratic
party to make fool of itself, but in this
post-election occupation he in nowise
represents the sober sentiment of any
considerable number of the people. In as
Stunning such position he certainly does
not speak for the great business interests
of the country. Trade can 20 right ON for
the next year or so without serious change,
and the simple fact is the change in itself,
when it finally comes, will not be nearly
so great rs many ill-informed persons,
with whom the wish is father to the
thought, now fondly imagine. If the tariff
policy of the government Of this great
nation is to be vitality changed, in any essen
tial particular. the work must be done
calmly, deliberately, and with superior in
telligence. This is alike due to the bust.
ness interests which will beatfected, to the
great number of operatives engaged in
these industries, to different branches of
trade more or less dependent thereon
and iuterlaced herewith, and to the politi-
cal party under obligation to perform this
work of revision.
Let everybody, then, settle down in II
quiet frame of mind. Let there be no
further dancing of hobgoblins before the
public, no sinister attempts TO mislead the
party coming into power, and which, dur
ing the next few years ut least. must be
wholly responsible tor the conduct of the
Government Let there be no more talk
about forcing the issue through the calling
OF an extra session of Congress. The cam
paign is over. The peoplc have made their
| decision. Let us now have a little more
business and a good deal less politics. and
everybody will be better off. Is this not
the common-sense view for the present
hour and the immediate future?
