THE REPUBLIC OF CANADA.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
! Colonial Secretary Chamberlain Will
soon be called upon to display other quail
tiles than those that have made him a
Tory idol. Canada, never too closely unit
ed in sympathy with the British sys-
TEN, is swiftly reaching that condition
which means the parting Of the ways. n
steady concentration Of the French ele-
ment has been going on for thirty years.
The influence of the Yankee republic,
whose amazing growth Is "a constant re-
minder of the futility of Canada's pres
ent system, has at the same time soidified
the French sentiment for autonomy on
democratic lines. All that Canada Is she
owes to the impetus given the colony by
the original emigrants from Francs. Ev-
crythiny that makes the social system toll
cradle in that older colonies as distinctive
ly French. Such cities as Montreal and
Quebec owe their charm to the French
builders and architects.
ii
Tn contrast with old French townsSbe-
yond the st. Lawrence, Ottawa, London
and the mushroom municipalities of the
English are most dismal to look upon In
tolerable to live in. Society, too, where
the French predominate, has a cast Of its
own, fun of interest, piquancy, grace.
charm-.he expression. in short, Of philo-
sophie repose. Above all, the alternate
bullying and bunaling of British admin
istrat.on has solidified the French ele-
ment. Its press, Its teachers. Its public
men. now speak out the long-cherished
hope of the real Canadian-for the es.ab-
lishment Of a republic. The British OppO-
nents of the idea make the language
difficulty. There need be none in that.
The tongue of people is made by the
needs OF its arts, commerce, science. In
the United States millions of foreigners
have striven in vain to retain the tongue
of their fatherland. But before the social
needs, the social ambitions Of the second
generation. all alien tongues die out. The
children of Italian, German, Polish. Dam
ish or any foreign parentage whatsoever.
lose the parental tongue and speak only
the language of the land.
II
If the French are numerous enough, If
they can induce the majority to employ
the melodious. philosophic language Of
France. so much the better 1t Is a tongue
that all cultivated people find profit and
pleasure in knowing. There is not n
country in Europe where the educated
ranks do not count fluent use of French
necessity. Indeed, in Germany, Aus
tria and Italy French Is almost obligatory
upon all ranks. The laws of lower Canada
are published In French as well as Eng
IsH' iieii 'he peopie KNOW no Otner
tongue. 1t would be only public justice.
therefore. II, in setting up for herself,
Canada resumed the tongue Identified
with her ;irst colonists, the noble body of
men that redeemed her wintry wilds from
savagery and desolation. With French
the national tongue to the north of us,
we should be saved the journeying to
France, now incumbent upon those who
aim to master French as 1t Is spoken.
Then, with the Spanish to the south Of us
in Mexico. we should be a world to our
selves-a sort of continental academy Of
polyglot speech.

IN CASE OF WAR.
From the Syracuse Post.

From the Syracuse Post.
No one Is expecting the United States
to engage in war with any other nation,
and yet wars sometimes come among the
things that are unexpected. The serious
and practical question to be asked Is. II
this nation were involved in war with
any of the leading nations of the world,
how soon could 1t be ready to defend its
own territory? As far as men are con-
cerned. the nation could put great armies
In the field before any foreign foe could
reach this country. The National Guard
In each state Is q reserve army, and on
twenty-fOur hours notice 100000 men
could be under arms. There would be
no trouble about soldiers, nor would there
be any trouble about the navy. The Unit
ed States now has some Of the best cruis-
ers and warships afloat 1t Is able to pro-
tect itself on the sea.
il
But the matter of greatest concern
would be the question of coast defenses
The United States, so far as its coast
line is concerned. is almost an island. 1t
has several thousand miles of coast line,
its sovereignty extends from the ex-
treme eastern shore Of Maine to the ex-
treme northwestern shore of the state of
Washington. and on up the coast along
Alaskan territory to Bering Sea. On this
long coast line are scores Of cities Of more
or less commercial Importance. What
protection have they against foreign war;
ships? The first protection upon which
American seaports must rely Is the Amer
lean navy. So far as our navy could, 1t
would attempt to intercept and break up
any fleet of foreign warships that might
come this way. But 1t would be too much
to expect that every invading ship could
be turned back or disabled before 1t reach
es an American seaport. Some of the
large cities on the coast have fortiflca-
tions either completed or well under way.
This Is true as regards New York, where

Supreme Court Re-Convenes.

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-The
United States Supreme court will
re-convene Monday after a ten
days recess. 1t is expected to
hand down the opinion of the full
bench on the constitutionality Of
the Income Tax law. For some
reason which has not so far APP
peared, Mr.. Justice Jackson, the
only member of the court absent
at the previous hearing, is believed
to be opposed to the act, and should
this prove to be the case, it will
disappear from the statute book.
Justice Jackson comes from a
State which favors the tax, al.
though he is said to incline per-
sonslly, to the view that it violates
the constitution, so that, If he were
seeking to obtain popularity and
political preferment, he might be
tempted to uphold the act. Justice
Jackson left for home on May IA.

ABDUCTION.
A MEXICAN DOCTOR IN THE TOLLS.
His Victim a Twelve-Year-Old Sem
orita-Detective sheley's
Quick Capture.

Detective Joe Shelley made an
important capture near Benton
City yesterday, which he has been
quietly laying for, in conjunction
with other officers, for several
days.
The particular are best told in
his own words. He said:
Juan Martinez, a quack Next
can doctor, who has been working
in San Antonio and surrounding
towns for year past, had been at.
tending the wife of Julian Cam
pos, a farmer living near the
Jansen place, on the Austin road.
The woman died. Her husband was
away at the time, and when he re-
turned he found his wife's remains,
cared for by neighbors, but his
pretty 12-year-old daughter miss
ing. So was the doctor, and he
concluded she had been enticed
away. Accordingly, the next day,
the 9Th Of May, he arrived in this
city and made affidavit against
Martinez before Justice Jones for
kidnapping his daughter, and the
officers were put on the trail, which
was very indefinites and closely
covered.
The only clue secured by Detec-
tive Shelly was a description Of the
horse stolen from a neighbor OF
Campos, Manuel Gonzales, and the
fact that Martinez had called at
the house Of an old Mexican WON an
near the San Fernando cemetery,
where he had left some of his
clothes. He jumped to the conclu-
sion that Martinez had gone to a
ranch near Benton City, and left for
that place yesterday morning and
succeeded in finding his man, near
the house on the farm, and also
found the girl in the house. The
horse, saddle and bride were also
recovered. Martinez was brought
to the city last night and lodged in
Jail on the charge Of abduction and
kidnapping, while the girl was
lodged in the police station until
this morning when she will be
taken to her father in the country.
The pair must have ridden the
one horse on the night Of the 4th,
as no other means used in carry
ing her away seems available.
Detective Shelly says Martinez
has been involved in similar cases
before. He is from Eagle Pass.
