he thinks of it at all, he in al likelihood
fancies that his British cousin has his
eyes on either Cuba or, the Philippines
But here, and particularly among the
literary men who take an interest in public
affairs, Canada is the biggest toad in the
puddle.
CANADA'S POSITION.
How much this counts with Englishmen
is best illustrated by the remark made by
an English novelist who has perhaps the
greatest hold of any English writer on the
American reading public NO" he said
decisvely, Cuba, Venezuela and Hawaii
don't really matter. If ever England and
America should be seriously embroiled, it
would be over Canada That is why,
though l dare not say it in public, my
life would not be worth living in England
if did, l would personally welcome Cana
da's entry into the republic"
Few Englishmen would avow any such
belief, few probably hold it, and it would
be a grave mistake to suppose that the
strong national outburst of friendship for
the United States would survive any seri-
Gus proposal to surrender Canada, even
We're Canada willing. Hardly less errone=
Gus would it be to imagine that the value
of entente In the eyes of Englishmen is
generally dependent on the American
adoption of a policy of colonial expansion.
Official England would undoubtedly like
to see America planted in the Philippines,
enabling her to exercise potent voice in
behalf of the policy of an open door in the

London, June 25.-In the two months
that have elapsed since the victory of Ma
Mia Bay there has sprung up throughout
England, and indeed all over the British
isles, an outburst of interest in an Anglo
American alliance that would seem almost
incredible to the average American if he
were here to witness it. For half q dozen
generations Amricans have been uncon-
sciously absorbing the principles of the
Monroe doctrine without any thought as to
their extension of their dominions, until
Dewey changed all this by his victory in
the Philippines.
1t was not alone the current of American
thought that was changed with the taking
of the Philippines. 1t is a familiar story
now, the place the United States assumed
among the powers with that triumph of
arms But nowhere was its effect more
quickly realized than by the rulers of Eng
land.
To print a. list of the names of Britains
statesmen who have declared themselves
in favor of it would be to include almost
every great name known to the world at
large. Not only do statesmen favor 1t, but
also the dignatares of the church, men,
bers of the diplomatic corps. and al of
England's foremost men of letters.
This new alliance, as it is usually alluded
to by the papers here, is not very clear
probably as to the nature and extent of its
scope to either the everyday American or
Englshman. And certainly, to Americans,
Canada does not enter very closely into
the ideas of what John Bull is after. II

Of the agricultural classes than the sta

1t is true that the country enjoyed an
unusually large yield of wheat and corn
for which greatly advanced prices were re-
ceived. But consider the hog!
In the packing year, which ended this
spring, 20,O00,000 of hogs passed through
western establishments and came out in
three and third billion pounds of lard,
pork, ribs and hams. No such figures were
eyer before presented as a result of a sim
