cially in the maritime provinces 1t is still fresh
In memory that in a former campaign, wheh
the vote Of Nova Scotia and the adjacent prov
inces was considered doubtful. Charley Iup-
per went down there with big appropriation
from the Dominion Treasury for railroad extern
sion and other public works, and swept the
country for the Conservative party. THIS deal
which Sir Charles and Mr. Chamberlain have
arranged, for heavily subsidized line OF fast
steamers between Canada and England, Is
strong card, and 1t has been played at just the
right time line OF steamers each OF which
gets clear subsidy Of over $1,000 week. Is a
pretty nice thing for the development or the
neglected estates of the Empire. 1t ought TO

his followers 1t certainly will prove an I'M
comfortable competitor with American transat-

If Sir Charles Upper wins, ii will he largely
because he is hostile to this country and intends
to pursue an anti-American policy. If the Lib

Of Sir Oliver Mowat's pronounced anti-Amcri-

the Liberal Government will not seek union nor
even closer relations with the United States.

Of the bonding privilege which Canadian rail

INTERESTS or RiSER4TI

The growing love of outdoor sports Is a con-
spcuous and generally admirable trait Of The
American character. We might say the we'll
grown instead Of the growing love, for such
has been the development Of the passion in re-
cent years that IL now seems TO have reached
an Irresponsible maximum. Almost everybody
Is Interested in some sport or other, and almost
every sport has its devotees. Americans rival
Englishmen in cricket. and Scotchmen in golf.
and Anglo-Indians in polo, and the whole world
in bicycling. They take up every new sport
that comes to the fore. and they remain loyal to
the old favorites. Golf has not displaced shin
ny, nor tennis made croquet obsolete. There is
room here for all, and varying tastes sufficient
to give to each perennial popularity.
Pre-eminently. however. the National game of
America Is baseball. No other has ever so
strongly laid hold Of the very heart of hearts
OF the people. No other has so enriched our
polite vocabulary with such gems Of expression

foremost sport in the foremost Nation or the
world
If is with serious concern, therefore, that we
observe a tendency on the part of the Giants
toward n falling off from the supreme excellence
that has characterized their work, and conse-
ouent symptoms Of decline in public interest In
the game. The season was opened Drilllantly

third game was, unfortunately, won by the
Giants. but forgiveness for that fact came read

with more intense Indifference, and the name
OF the Giants greeted with more enthusiastic
contempt, than ever before In the history or
American sports. Unhapply, it has not been
maintained. Immediately after that magniii-
cent run of defeats the Giants won two games,
and since then have been pretty regularly alter
mating defeats and victories.
This will never do. The gentlemen in charge
OF the Giants. and every one OF the Giants
themselves. should be made to understand that
the Ncw-YOrk public will not tamcly endure
such triling with an institution now regarded
as wellnigh sacred. What we want is defeats,

Tho establishment of a central bureau or po-
lice information, with headquarters at wash
ington is likely to be an important outcome OF
the recent convention of superintendent of po-
lice held at Atlanta. The plan can be easily
carried out. an office being hired at the National
capital and a single clerk placed in charge. The
expense, if shared by thirty or more cities, VIII
be a mere trne for each one. Such bureau
will be sort of clearinghouse for the police
OF the cities maintaining it, and through 1t it
will be easy for the police officials in any city
to obtain information quickly regarding any
criminal taken into custody 1t has been sug-
gested that bureau for this purpose should be
maintained by the General Government, but
the same object will be accomplished by the CO.
operation of the principal cities, without being
a burden TO them.

A CANADIAN OPPORTUNITY.

There is promise of much fine sport in Cam
ada. The political game is fully opened and
is being played "for all it Is worth" on both
sides Sir Oliver Mowat, sometimes called the
Grand Old Man" Of Ontario has undertaken
the greatest effort of his life" He Is supposed
to have practically life-tenure Of the Ontario
Premiership, and he has hitherto persstenty
declined to give it UP for the uncertainties Of
Dominion politics. He is, Of course, strong
Liberal, so far as Ontario Is concerned. But he
Is also one OF the stiffest OF LOyalists or I'm
peralsts. Therefore, suspectng his own party
of an inclination toward the annexation Of Can
ada to the United States, lie has seen to 1t that
a considerable Conservative delegation was sent
TO Ottawa from Ontario The Conservatives
really owe their majority In Parliament in late
years largely to him. Now, however, he comes
out for liberalism at Ottawa. He will stump
the country, as Mr.. Laurier's righthand man.
and his participation In the campaign will, 1t
Is reckOned, reassure Imperiallsts that Liberal
success will not mean annexation, and will also
bring many of his fellow-Protestants Of Ontario
to the support Of the Roman Catholic, Mr.. Lau-
rier If the scheme succeed, and Liberal ma
jority be returned, Sir Oliver may take office In
the Dominion Cabinet. If not, he will still re-
tain his grip upon the Ontario Premiership
Poor Mr. Laurier welcomes his aid, of course
as offering the only possible hope Of Liberal
success; though he knows perfectly well that in
case of such success he himself, though the
titular Premier. will in popular esteem have to
play second fiddle to Sir Oliver in the Cabinet
with a strong probability Of having ultimately
to give up his place altogether to him. shrewd
tactician is Sir Oliver, and his present rule Of
play is, Heads / win, tas-I don't lose."
On the Conservative side Sir Charles Upper
has at last plainly shown his hand. He pro-
poses 10 coerce Manitoba into establishing Sec
tartan schools That is bid for the Roman
Catholic vote He will frown upon all plans for
union with the United States. That is bid
for the Loyalist vote. He will subsldize rail-
roads and steamship lines, and make the great
highway round the world traverse the Canadian
territory. That is also a bid for the Loyalist
