The Saturday Review publishes an
article today on Canada and the I'm
perial Customs Union," in which it
calls attention to the spirit Of disaffec-
tion with the empire which is at work in
Canada, and says:
"Canadas peculiar geographical posi-
tion regarding the United States is
natural aid to the propagation Of this
spirit and annexation to the United
States would be the logical outcome.
What needs to be done in tho direction
of a customs income should be done
quickly, How incredible is the folly
of the attitude which Downing street
has hitherto adopted toward Canadian
proposals for commercial federation"
The Saturday Review adds: Though
it is idle to hope that the new Laurier
ministry has inherited the old enthusi-
asn. for federation, 1t is nowise likely
that the premier will favor the project,
because he believes that Canada must
enter into closer commercial relations
either with Great Britain or with the
United States. Even a Liberal minis
try would hesitate at the awkward vista
Of problems which the latter alliance
The Manchester Guardian says: "It
Is whispered among bimetallists that
Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, secretary Of
state for the colonies during his visit to
the United States, has become a con-

The new archbishop of Canterbury,
Dr. Temple is already in bad odor with
the Liberals. Speaking at a church
convocation on Thursday, he COM
planned Of the free education act and
urged increased concessions to the vol
untary schools, In order to enable them
to compete with the board schools. He
referred to the high salaries of the
teachers in the latter schools. for
which the Daily News takes him Sc
yerely to task, saying: "As head mas
ter at Rugby, DR.. Temple received
$4,000 CSC, 10000 yearly; as bishop Of Ex-
eter he received G5cso ($25, 5,OO0) as
bishop of London he received e10,00O
(s5O, 10000 and as archbishop of Canter-
bury he will receive a15,OOO ($7500O).
That he should go out of his way to at
tack the extremely moderate incomes
of this singuarly industrious class is
both impudent and contemplate"
The Investors Review this week
points out that forty-four bicycle COM
panies were fioated during the past year
with a capital of nearly IA, 500 900, and
that out of the purchase price, f9,04S,275,
the vendors took over 5000, 900 in cash,
showing, 1t is claimed, decided prefer
ence for sovereigns and over shares.
The Review thinks this industry is over
done, and that American machines will
eventually drive the high priced British
goods out of the market.
The sensational speech of the duchess
of Orleans (the Archduchess Maria Do
rothea) on the occasion of her wedding,
and when presented with a magnificent
crown of diamonds by 25 ladies of the
French legitimist aristocracy, has
caused some stir in Paris.
Emperor Francis Joseph's dis
avowal Of the speech in the princess
behalf does not prove that the story is
not true, and 1t is looked upon as only
intended to be an apology to the French
government by seeming to rebuke the
duchess. who. It is added. spoke with
out having consulted him.
It ts stated In this connection that the
duke OF Orleans will shortly issue a
proclamation to his followers. announc-
ing his alliance with q member Of the
house of Hapsburg.
