CANADIAN RELATIONS.

In his reference to the differences be-
tween Canada and the United States.
President Mckinley did not hold out
any promise of their early settlement.
He stated that good progress had been
made toward the adjustment of some
of them when the Alaska boundary
question brought to a conclusion the
deliberations of the joint high commits
sion, but the public is uniformed as to
which of the matters in issue were ap-
preaching settlement 1t is certain that
little if any progress was made toward
effecting reciprocity arrangement,
which was one of the most important
matters for the consideration of the
commission.
The president expressed the hope that
the temporary arrangement that was
effected respecting the boundary would
lead to final satisfactory settlement of
that troublesome and irritating issue,
but the disposition manifested by some
of the Canadian statesmen does not en-
courage the belief that this question is
future or without the dispute assuming
more serious phase than it has yet
presented, unless either the British gov
ernment shall decline to insist upon the
Canadian demands or the United States
shall make concessions which it has
thus far refused. Men of all parties in
Canada regard the result of the negOtia-
tons between Washington and London
as unsatisfactory and the representa-
tive of the Dominion government in
London said in effect regarding the
modus vivendi that while acceptable as
IL temporary eXpedient it is not so as
basis for permanent settlement and he
pretty plainly implied that Canada
would continue to resist the position of
the United States respecting the bound
ary.
1t therefore appears to be highly prob
able that the final settlement of this
controversy Is far in the future and
that the danger of it again becoming a
menace to friendly relations is by no
means removed. Our government will
not, there is every reason to
believe, recede from the position it
has taken, for which it has most
ample justification, nor is it likely to
agree to arbitration on the Canadian
plan. Whether all the other matters in
controversy must wait for adjustment
upon the settlement of the boundary
dispute is for Canada to determine. The
American government is undoubtedly
willing to proceed with the consldera-
ton of these questions whenever Can
ada shall signify its desire to have
them considered and disposed of, but
inasmuch as the termination of the de
lberations of the high joint commission
was due to the Canadian attitude, our
government will hardly be the first to
propose n renewal of negotiations.
Meanwhile it is to be expected that
the relations with Canada will receive
some attention in congress and there
may be some definite expression of
opinion by that body respecting them.
There is n very sincere desire on the
part of the United States to maintain
and strengthen good relations with its
northern neighbor, but it cannot be eX-
pectcd to submit to unreasonable and
demands or to make con
cessions that would be detrimental to
the interests Of its own people.

Destruction of Forests.


An impressive emphasis on the reckless
ness and rapidty with which our forests
are being destroyed is given in the an
nouncement that a great western railroad
system has commenced to plant trees to in
sure cross ties for its roadbeds in the fu-
ture, 1t being estimated that in fifteen years
there will be no timber available for that
purpose. While it may be practically impos-
sible to stop the destruction of our great
forestry preserves, the various states can
neutralizo it by establishing forestry res
ervations and then seeing to it that they are
properly protected. The forestry movement
