bers of the American peace commits
sion sent to Paris by President FMc-
Kinley early last autumn He was
the only Democrat among the five rep
resentatives of the United States, con-
sisting, with Mr.. Gray, of former Sec
rotary Of State William r. Day, of
Ohio Senator Cushman K. Davis, of
Minnesota; Senator William P. Frye,
of Maine, and the Hon. Whitelaw Reid,
of New York.
Senator Gray returned to the United
States apparently showing some evil
dences of previous exposure to the in
fectious doctrines of Imperialism and
expansion represented by the present
national administration. 1t was
mild case when he departed from
France, as shown by his interview
just before starting on his homeward
trip. 1t became a little more Yirulent
on his arrival here, as evidenced by
a speech he delivered shortly after
wards eXtolling the virtues of our
present chief magistrate.
There really was not much left for
Mr.. Gray in Delaware politics, and he
looked around him for repOse upon the
bench. He was obligingly accommo-
dated. He is now in the enjoyment of
his reward.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-03-06
"Canada for Canadians"

The Canadians are reported to be eX-
tremely uneasy over their political af-
fairs and, moreover, dissatisfied with
the leaders of both their parties In
deed, some of the Canadians insist that
both the old parties are disintegrating.
Sir Wilfred Laurier comes in for
generous measure of criticism for the
failure to achieve results through the
Anglo-American commission. Three
years ago Laurier was given the reins
of government in the belief that the
Conservatives had grown corrupt and
that the interests of Canada were suf-
fering under their unprogressive man
agement. His promises were as plenti-
fui as those of an American candidate
for congress in a backwoodS district.
The highest expectations were formed
of his administration, but if we are
to believe his critics, these have been
dashed, and the government is in shoal
water.
Meanwhile a sentiment is said to be
growing that is altogether hostile to
any further assumption of control over
Canadian affairs such as is now exer-
cised by the English government Can
ada for Canadians" is the cry into
which this sentiment has crystallized.
The Anglo-American commission is due
to meet in August next, and it is rep
resented that the new spirit of quasi
independence so recently awakened de-
mands that Canada and Canadian
rights. as distinguished from those of
the home government, shall receive
more adequate representation; in a
word, that a Canadian shall succeed
the late Lord Herschell upon the com
mission.
Apparently a colonial policy is no
dearer to the natives of the frozen
North than to the followers of Aguinal-
do on the other side of the globe. Real
