Andrew Carnegie is pregnant with
advice these days, but then Andrew
always has a lot of this article on tap.
He has recently broken out into a
philippe on the subject of territorial
expansion and he expresses himself
as decidedly opposed to the United
States holding the Philippines. He
stated in an interview not long since
that if the United States soldiers en-
deavored to shoot down any of the
natives of the Philippines. that the
natives would kill the soldiers. Car
negie has long since been placed in
the same class with Aston and other
rich men who do not think America
good enough for them to live in. This
man has amassed wealth hero by
grinding and depressing his workmen,
and takes his Doodle over the ocean
to spend while he hob-nobs with the
lords and dukes. The people of the
United States who loye their country
have very little use for citizens Of the
Carnegie stripe, and for all the good
it does he had as we'll keep his advice
bottled up. We don't want it.

IE our large cities there are thous-
ands of young girls who are strGg-
CLING for a living for themselves and
loved ones whom they have to support.
They are subjected to temptations of
a kind which only women are called
upon to face and battle with, and
owing to a lack of that frie IDLY aid
which should be extended to them,
many of them tire of the struggle and
yield. If part of the effort that is
given to preventing ~battleships being
christened with wine were spent in
assisting those girls in their battle
with life there might not be so much
sin and Indebtedness among them.

SPIES MUST LEA We CANADA.

Steps have been taken by which it
is expected that Lieutenant Carranza,
who has conducted the Spanish spy
system from Montreal, with his as
sistant, Senior du Bose, former first
secretary of the Spanish legation in
Washington, will be expelled from
Canada within the next few days, un-
less they adopt their own means to
leave before an international question
is raised as to their presence in Can
ada.
The Carranza letter, detailing his
spy system, was com municated to the
British ambassador, SirJuhan Paunce
forte, together with all other jnfor
nation bearing on the operations of
the Spanish officials in Canada.
The ambassador was quick to act in
the matter, and, without waiting the
slow processes of the mail, he cabled
the entire matter to the foreign office.
No doubt is entertained as to the
speedy action of the authorities at
London, now that specific case has
been made out against the Spanish Of
ficials in Canada.
They would have taken the initia-
tive ere this had there been anything
more than suspicion as to the opera
tons of Carranza and Du Bose. The
Carranza letter was proof positive,
and the British officials moved quick
ly and on their own volition toward
securing adequate redress.
The British statutes, as well as those
of Canada, have specific provisions
against the use of British or Canadian
territory for foreigners temporarily
seeking asylum there as the base of
hostile operations against countries
with which Great Britain and her col
onies are at peace.

THE FEELING IN CANADA.

In the House of Commons Hon.
McClearly, in discussing the Ameri-
can alien labor law and the manner
in which it had been enforced against
the Canadians, incidentally referred
to the Spanish Americanwar, saying
that while all parties in Canada would
pray that the American people would
come out victorious, still there were a
few who would like to see the United
States get bit of whipping. Cries of
:'No, no." arose from all parts of the
house. Premier Laurier, rising, evil
IDENTIFY with some warmth, said:
81 sincerely hope my honorable
friend who has just taken his seat, in
his utterances which at the moment
called forth expressions of dissent,
speaks his own personal feeling and
not the feeling of his party. would
rather hope that upon the present oc-
casion, though we are bound to be
neutral and must be neutral in the
present difficulties between the United
States and Spain, should like to be-
ieve that if there is a feeling at all
apart from our duty as neutrals it is
feeling of sympathy for those who
are our neighbors and who share the
continent with u.s."
Sir Charles Upper, the opposition
leader, expressed entire acquiescence
in what the Premier had said, and
concluded his speech by saying:
''While we are bound to respect
that complete neutrality that has been
proclaimed by the parent state in
reference to the war between the
United States and Spain, nevertheless
I feel that we can not forget that the
people of Canada, as of Great Brit
ain, are but one branch of that En-
glish speaking family, and that the
interests of peace, the interests of
civilization and the interests of the
world would be promoted by the most
cordial co operation between the two
great branch nations"

WILLING VICTIMS.

Indignation at the conduct of a
mayor who retires a capable official
because he insists upon an impartial
and thorough enforcement of the laws
is justi6able, but sympathy with the
metropolis which suffers from his
misgovernment is very largely vast
ed. New York has got exactly the
kind of government it wanted, and in
catering to the wishes of those who
desire a wide open town, Mayor Van
Wyck has betrayed no trust and dis
appointed no expectations. Tam

public since the revelations of Lexow,

which they have made to lie in until
