MT. Camagu, on the Union of the Uni
 ted StAtes and EnrIand

Mir Andrew Carnagie, a Scotch
 man and large property owner in
 the United States, Is the author of
 paper published iR the June num-
 Der of the American Review, advo-
 eating the re-uniiing of the English
 speaking peoples of the world. es-
 pecially those of the United King dom of Great Britain, the Canadas and the United States. He admits
 that the cause of the revolutionary struggle between the mother coun- try and the Colonies was wrong on
 the part of England. That the then colonies claimed only their rights as Engishmea, and had no desire of independent States, even up to the time when hostilities had been commenced. The principle ground of contention was, that
 England claimed the right to tax the people of the colonies, while they denied to them the right of representation in the parliament of the Kingdom. The people of the colonies in all their petitions to King George, and their remon- stranees to the Parliament, were anxious to continue their re- latlons to the English government, as loyal subjects, but with prom ise, which they claimed was the in- herent right of English subjects, to have representation in enacting laws for them; in other words, tax ation without representation was contrary t0 the British constitution. aud that the enforcement of such legislation was acts only of tyrants. These acts, Mir. Carnagie condemns m no honied words, that such acts finally ended in the declaration of independence of the of July, 1776, and ended after struggle of seven years of fighting, in the final over throw of the English power, and the maintenance of the right con- tended for. The people and the colonies became free and independ- ent States. Thus, says Mir. Carna- gie, England, by her obstinacy, lost the best and greatest jewel of her crown.
 Mir. Carnagie further argues that the true policy of both parties, the United States, Great Britain and l Canada, unite and form the greatest l Republic the world has ever seen, or that, probably, that will ever be | known. He proposes that the Capi- 1 tai of this great Republic shall be at Washington City; that commu- nication between the British isles is now as easy and rapid as from va rious parts of our present domain; that the monarchial days of Great | Britain Is on the wane; that the | Prince of Wales himself sees the on the wall that he will not have a successor, and possibly, if Queen Victoria shall hold her pres ant status for another decade, she may be the last of the House of Hanover, or the Guelphs, to rule by divine right over her people. No one desires that the Queen shall be in her present seat. But he heir, her son, has no such hold lpon the affections of the English people, and it is possible that Queen Victoria is the last of ruling sOYer- signs of England.
 But l fearMr. Carnagie's ideas and wishes on this subject are utopean. He tells us that many of the leading thinkers of his country favor such ID union as outlined by him. But he best thinkers of England are lot the nobility or wealthy classes. trow 1t will be hard task to con -ince the hereditary House of Lords hat t would conduce to their in- crest to become an elective body, ather than her present way of get ing office. for no doubt many of hem are really unfit for intelligent ' egislation.
 1t is possible that a majority of he common people would favor uch change of the organic law of ] he realm. They would argue that
 change in the respect spoken of 1 ould not. to say the least, injure hem, but on the contrary might I rove a great benefit to them. MT. ! arnagie has argued his case well. is to be seen If he gets any fol- 6 overs or opposers- 6
