The MiStletoe.

Many a secret sweet reposes
Underneath the moss veiled roses;
But the mistletoe hath folden
Hearts within its branches olden,
And no plant SO sweet as this is,
With its wealth OF Christmas kisses,
Youth and maiden come to know
Magic lies In mistletoe.

Turkish Ambassador in London was said TO have

extraordinary talk he had had with Lord Sails

iudicious people took II to be at the outset. No
such letter was written. No such conversation,

CANADIAN COPYRIGHT.

Mr. Ford gives us In his London cable letter
today some highly important news regarding
Canadian copyright. The British Government,
through It's Colonial Office, has refused to sane
tion the Ottawa act, and the Canadian Govern
mont agent. who went to London by invitation
Of the late Rosebery Ministry, has sailed for
home bearing that message. He also bears,
beside the rejected measure, the draft OF a new
hill nrepared by the British Colonial Once,
which, If the Dominion Parliament Will enact
# Her Maiesty's Government will be pleased
70 consider. Doubtless 1t will not only consider
1t, but will approve 1t. But whether the suosu-
tute will prove acceptable TO the Ottawa Gov
eminent and to the Canadian publishers Is an
other and very different matter. Evidently
there Is some doubt about 1t, for Mr. Hail Game
Is to come over, fortnight hence, as the repre-
sentative Of the British Society OF Authors TO
labor with the powers that be at Ottawa I'D favor
of the compromise measure
Still another question. OF highest interest, Is
whether the bill proposed by the Colonial once
will prove acceptable TO the United States. To
that no answer is at present possible, since the
terms Of the new bill have not yet been revealed
But It must have taxed Mr.. Chamberlains In
genulty to the utmost to devise measure at
once satisfactory to Canada and not offensive
! to the United States The object the Canadian
/ publishers have In view, as we have hitherto
explained is to food the markets OF the United
States with cheap editions Of books which, I'M
der our convention with Great Britain, cannot
be manufactured so cheaply on this side OF the
border No law permitting less than that will
be satisfactory there No law permitting that
will be tolerated here. The enactment and i'm
perial approval Of such measure would be the
signal for instant reprisals, and would be most
serious menace to the international copyright
agreement between this country and Great Brit
ain. OF that fact there is no possible doubt, and
the more clearly 1t is understood both at London
and at Ottawa the better for all concerned
1t is sincerely to be hoped that Mr.. Chamber
| lain has devised some safe solution of the prob
lem and that his official admontions and Mr..
Hall Gaines persuasions will prevail al Ottawa
and bring the Dominion Government to a reason
able frame Of mind. The Canadian book manu-
facturers will doubtless be disappointed at not
receiving charter for legalized piracy. But
there are more important interests than theirs
