CANADA AND UNCLE SAN.

-
is convinced that all young Cana
dians regard the British lion as I
very descent cid animal and abhol
the American eagle as winged
heg. 1t explains Chat this i'm.
preston may abs the result Of 8
defect in the ysung Canadians
understanding rather than ths
fruit of virtue in the lisn, or si
vice in the eagle. Whatever the
cause the effect ia that whom the
average young Canadian starts his
voting career his preferences are
for Britain and his prsjudisss for
the United States"
1t does not sssn to occur to the
Canadian commentator that many
young Canadians commence their
voting experience within the
United States. They seem to hold
as to Canada what Douglas held as
to Vermont, that it was . good
place to immierats from. la
Chicago alone the number Of
Canadians by birth would make
what ia Canada would be regarded
as quite metropolis. As matter
Of fact Canadians themselves are
net in love with the British lion,
whatever their sentiments nay be
with reference to the eagle, whose
country is south Of the ST. Law
renee. Large part OF Canada prs-
serves all the feeling Of its French
origin. These, together with
Britons or Canadian born, have so
clipped the claws, abbreviated the
tail, singsd the eyebrows, clipped
the name, and otherwise reduced
the British hon that he is kept in
Canada only a sort of object lesson
indicating that whenever Canada
shall feel like it it will take what
remains OF the carcass and pitch 1t
into the sea.
Canada is today practically a
republic. 1t has relations with
the lion as mere matter of cor
vsnisncs. Its connection with the
Mether country is slight. Its
manifest destiny lay with the rest
of the continent, bat it has per-
vsrsely insisted on maintaining a
sort OF midway position between
the eagle and the lion. though
Canadians themselves to the num-
bsr Of hundreds of thousands have
crossed the line and quit even the
slightest hsmags to the old British
lion that Canadians themselves
have battered cut Of all ssmblsnce

A prophecy made by Ex-GoV
Horatio Seymour a short TINE
before his death: "Tks next cen
fiet,n he said, "in this country
will be the east and the west.
The Interests of the two are
naturally astsgonistic, and will
grow more and mere as the years
roll BY. The time will come very
soon in my judgment, when it will
require very wise statssmsnship
to prsvsa! an open rupturs bstwsss

east and the west. Mark the
prediction"

Owing to the disinslinatisn Of
ths national banks Of the country
to part with their currency at this
time, it is probable that the pen
sisnsrs whs are to be paid this
month will experience delay in
receiving their money. The banks
have heretofore Dashed readily oil

several banks in the west have
notified the Treasury Department
that in view of the financial strin-
gsnsy they do not feel jastihsd in
doing So at present.

WAS GOULD MISJUDGRD ?

WAS GOULD MISJ UDGRD +?
"Wss Jay Gould Misjudgsd ?"
is the interest, provoking title of an
article by Frank Allaben in the
National Magazine. Hr. Allabsn
declares that he was, and defends
the life and actions OF the great
6naneler in very vigorous lang
uags.
Mr.. Allsbens paper is at enes
biographical land critical, and con-
tains numerous statements from
data hitherto unpublished, which
reflect most favorable light upon
Gould. A history Of Goald's
entire life is given, and many
characteristics Of his boyhood,
drawn fr0m letters which the
writer has obtained from Mr..
Goulds school friends and teachers
are related.
AllAbes traces Gsuld's origin
back to Zone Of the most eminent
and notable families of New Eng
land and asserts that he Was also
directly descended from Aaren
Burr. Full particulars are given
concerning the taanery affair OF
Gouldsbsro, whish seem to Justify
Gould's line of procedure at that
time. Allsben eriticises severely

the Cuban rebellion. At that time
Mr.. Mora vas In New York and
he was not In any way implicated
