1t is in consequence of her uncon.
querable position that one is prompted
70 theorize as TO her relation TO the rest
Of the British Empire. Whether Great
Britain becomes republic or stays a
kingdom it is scarcely likely that her
great foreign policy will be altered
Consequently the loose rein that she
has held over her various colonies will
still suffice TO hold them together IN
one and make them continue to be
part of the greatest extent OF rule ever
intfusied o. one nation since the world
began. But while The next century
will probably see her strength increas-
ing, at the same time two other rivals
or perhaps three will strive to divide
world power with her-Russia, Ger
many and the United States with
perhaps a calculable influence emanat.
ing from Japan. E1gand's success in
conducting the affair, Of distant colon.
les and M holding those colonies to-
gether is to arouse the jealousy of the
nations that do not speak her language.
Though a peace conference has met at
The Hague and though humanity will
some day learn TO hate war yet il is to
be feared that struggle for a world
supremacy is yet to come from COM
mercial motives. This struggle will
not be between nations as nations but
rather between races as races.

In consequence there will probably
be endeavors from time to time to
snatch away some portions Of that vast
government or to destroy the body Of
its empire 10y attacking and destroying
the head, that rests i'm little England.
Herein may not Canada benefit the
motherland? Canada is the largest
stretch of land under the control Of
England and its whole position is fav-
orable for permauency. England is
nothing but comparatively small
island never more than few hours
away from hostile attack and never
more than "A few weeks distant from
starvation if attacked. It's called upon
u strain every nerve in holding against
every conner the little island whose
integrity means so much to every
quarter of the globe. The tendency
will be to recognize the danger of main
taini K the center Of power where
power can be cut of. This danger will
be recognized by each part of the whole
Out of these feelings will probably
grow vital federation of the British
possessions wherein each spot of Eng
lands vast rule will be left free to
attend to IFS internal affairs, but where.
in also each part will have a voice by
representation in relation To the pro-
lection and maintenance Of the whole
Is it unsafe to prophesy that the center
of this vast government will be moved
entirely away from the island where
permanency is ia danger 10 a centa
city in Canada where permanency will
be in no danger? Canadais position
recommends her for the metropolis Of
Greater Britain. She is midway be-
tween the east aud the west equally
we'll protected on either side, traversed
by railroad that binds her parts to-
gether in one, developing TO the point
Of maintaining untold millions more

That Obnoxious Rule.

The Rock Island arsenal machinists
are now in daily expectation of infor-
nation from Washington as to the ac-
tion.of tie war department with refer
ence 20 Capt. Russell's report on the
inquiry into the nature and causes of
the trouble now pending. Senator
Cullom and Congressman Prince are
both reported in Washington on the
matter, and decision is daily antici-
pated, and that it will sustain the
mems plea for the abrogation of the
obnoxious rule which denies them the
right to state their grievances or
other matters affecting them to the
commandant through committee,
there seems no reasonable ground to
doubt.
The machinists will have n public
meeting at the Industrial Home to-
morrow evening, on which occasion
Grand Master Machinist O'Connell
will deliver an address.

Entitllng the Possessors to Ambulance to
the Higher Public Educational Institu-
tions-Msy be Recognized In the Cities
Year.
County Superintendent of Schools
S. j. Ferguson is to revive and en-
force the plan OF holding central or
township examinations of pupils, an
idea originally introduced by Charles
b. Marshall when he was at the head
of the county's educational affairs a
few years back. Mr.. Ferguson be-
lieves more attention should be paid
the schools in the rural districts and
proposes to also outline a course of
study for teachers there that they
may be better qualified for their work
ana equipped with up-to-date knowl
edge of the proper conduct of the
school.
Mr.. Ferguson, in talking with an
ARGUS reporter, stated that he knew
of nothing that would encourage ed
ucation among the children of the
farm than the central examination,
successfully passing which they will
be furnished a county diploma, en-
IhCill " " any VI
the village High schools, and it is the
earnest hope of the superintendent
that the boards of education in the
cities can be induced to recognize the
diploma, and permit the possessor
thereof to enter the High schools with
out undergoing another examination.
An Incentive to Work.
Mr.. ferguson says the central
will be an incentive to
the boys and girls to work harder
over their studies, for they have the
assurances when they have passed
through the grammar school and are
equal to the township examination,
they are qualified to enter upon a
higher plane of work. 1t will keep
our country boys at school and they will
not be apt, at least so many of them.
to desert their books so early in life
as they have been doing.
Supt- Ferguson has selected ''Tomp-
kins' Philosophy of School Manage
ment" for study and discussion at
the central meetings of the teachers
The ensuing year.

was corralled yesterday at Cordova

Westgate is charged with having
