Why Canada Coos to War.

The recent departure OF some Canadian
troops to Join the British Army in the
Trsnsvaal and the further news yesterday
that another contingent might be formed
in British Columbia are made particularly
interesting by q sermon delivered at Quebec
last Sunday by tho Rev. FREDERICK
GEORGE ScorT. We quote n passage from
H. taken from tho Toronto Mail and Empire:
we have taken . stsp. step on the threshold Of
another century which IL destined In time TO put
end to the distinction Of colony and moth srland.
and will finally give voice in the conduct OF the
Empire"
our Toronto contemporary ascribes these
sentiments to "the great mass OF the
people Of Canada" Canada's ambition ia
a vote In the British House OF Commons.
II Ia 40 strong that the Canadians are
willing to fight for 1t. And the battle
bogius by an attempt to destroy the Boer
republics In South Africa.
Many Beers must be made 10 bite the
dust for England. and thousands Of men
in other countries, too, before the ambition
Of the Canadian Imperislists can be salts
fed. But whether II IL ever to be satisfied
or not the effort for 1t now visible Is a
subject for close attention by the people
OF the United States.

While Col. BRYAN ls shooting and spouting
through Nebraska and capering frantlcally
around the Declaration OF Independence, the
common-sense view OF ex expansion is gaining
ground in the South. The opinions eI pressed
by Senator MORGAN. and more recently by
Senator McLAURlN. as to tho necessity OF
the China trade to tho cotton interests OF
the South. are commencing themselves to
cool heads in that section. Even to some
hot heads. for tho Hon. BENJAMIN RYAN
TLLMAN has found out how tho wind Is
blowing In South Carolina. He has ceased
to roar and admits the Importance Of the
Philippines and trade with China to the
South. Heis for protectorate and against
annexation. but this position cannot be more
than temporary. A protectorate Ia an
absurdty. Senator TILLMAN Is simply
moving on toward annexation, and he does
so because no sees that his State is awake to
tho indispensabillty OF new markets for
cotton goods. TILLMAN Is perfectly able to
leave of yammering and come down to
business when he has to.
The ideas Of the Richmond Times may not
seem OF great Importance to tho Bryanites.

advantage OF the humdudgeon about i'm
perislism to sneak back into the straight
Democratic party. Our Richmond oontem-
porary has no such passion for regularity
and no such eagerness to let humbug OF the
contractionists be an excuse for swallowing
the Chicago platform. 1t says, indeed, that
It Ia not In favor OF imperialism" but as
there 10 no such thing 80 far as the United
Statesare concerned. nobody Is in favor OF
imperialism" which ia merelya cant word
Of the American mestzos. The Richmond
Times believes In expansion for several
business reasons:
This Philippine question IL question OF business
and the American people are essentially . business
people. We have q distinct duty to perform in
restoring peace and order and od gov.

been done this Government 10 going to utilize tho
position which It holds in the Philippines to tho
best advantage Of the cotton producers OF the South
and OF the manufacturers and exporters in all parts
Of the United States, We confronted with q

let nen OF Anairs take hold"
This Is substantially the opinion OF the
Atlantic Consultation, otherwise q Democrat
OF the straightest sect, 1t refuses TO con-
slider the Philippines from a political
point OF view, Let politicians scramble"
1t says; "let doctrinaires debate, but the
man with the bale Of cotton wants to cell It
and sell 1t quickly. We are entitled
TO our share In the worlds trade by the
quickest, shortest and most direct route.
This claim has the right OF way. and the
man In the cotton aeld will be the bene-
nciary." In other words. business before

The Party Emblems.

The provision for pictorial symbols on
official tickets In New York has remained
unchanged under tho various amendments
to the Election Code. and some OF the sym
bols adopted this ar arc peculiar. Thus
there are two Socialist parties. tho Socialist
Labor party and the Social Democratic
party. the former having an arm and
hammer for Its emblem. and the latter q
handshake over @ globe. The Prohibition
party has, Of course. It's gushing fountain
OF cold water, aud the Citizens Union, in
the few districts in which IL has made n oni-
nations, has the Statue OF Liberty, or. IA 1t Ia
sometimes called by campaign orators in
the districts in which the Citizens Union
has made no nomination. "the Statute
Of Lii erty." Then there Ia the Homo
Rule Democracy with an Eighth ave-
nue. horse car, though electric cara have
been running there for some time. Other
outside local organizations have an anvil,
Il dog with q breaa basket, and ian arm
and hammer breaking through a crust OF
soil" Thetwo rival tickets. Republican and
Tammany. have. respectively, al hereto
fore, an eagle on ballot box. and star.
The appropriateness OF the eagle, the
bird Of freedom and symbol OF American
liberty. as the emblem OF Republicanism will
not be denied by any one, but tho star" az
the sign Of ticket labelled Democratic" Ia
most misleading at this time.
Tho stars in tho American flag, the
number Of which has increased from thir-
teen to forty-ave, denote States in the
Union, and as their number has Increased
under the policy Of expansion. Industrial
and intellectual progress. growth In law,
liberty and order. the number OF stars In the
flag. despite the opposition OF eactionaries,
has steadily increased without recession.
For political party. the accepted leaders
of which are effusively committed to back
number notions OF Surrender. to retain the
star as It's emblem can only be explained
on the ground that 1t was adopted before
the Democracy OF other days had become
this Populist counterfeit.
The Republican symbol OF the eagle
ia az suitable for to-day as when It was
adopted, the year before the election Of
MCKINLEY, on the platform OF honest
money.

sIt,on OF the Philippines, the Constitution

sItion OF the Philippines, the Consultation
makes this proposition:
TN short, while humanity may weep over tho nm.
nseesssry saornoes made In ts name. is strong and
hand will retain the Republic In the Philip
pines until tho peoples Of those Islands are well
the read 10 independence and free from sny fear OF
foreign aggression.
This seems an attempt to steer middle
course between the patent facts and the
assumptions Of the contractlonists. Tho
strict business view will soon put the sem
tImental view out OF the way. To consent
to temporary occupation OF Islands which
are necessary to the South and the rest OF
the country for commercial reasons Is TO
consent finally to permanent occupation and
ownership. As Bryanite. the Constitution
may strain at this gnat. As Southerner,
IL will look after the interests Of the man In

Even In darkest Democratic Mississippi,
Senator SULLIVAN, otherwise rigid
Bryanite, Is an expansionist. And from

in these things. The South cannot be kept
Democratic against It's own interests per-
manently. In fact, clcar-hoaded Southern
Democrats feel about like this: Let

the traditional Democratic policy Of expan-
sion, that impulsive sciolist not only Jars
upon the sentiments but opposes tho
development OF the South.

The Affair at Paterson.

The city OF Paterson continues 20 bo tho
scene OF q very serious drama In real life In
which heroism and its counterpart brutality
are the moving forces seen.
A young woman Ia trying to support her
baby and dying husband by the work Of her
hands. 1t Is her womanly privilege. her
declared that che shall not so work. Per-
suasions and threats having proved pow
erless to make her stop, actual violence
against her Is now daily used. There
are in the neighborhood near her home
some shopkeepers who are 80 like vermin
that they will not sell her clothing and
food. A few days ago rutIian with murder
In his heart knocked her senseless with q
club, but luckily she was not killed.
Do the people OF Paterson understand
what Is going on In their town. Are they
not ashamed at what this woman Is Drawing
and suffering2 Do they know that the

airy and manhood and sympathy OF tho
whole country, and that in its nature it
presents tho largest and dearest question

can ever discuss liberty OF the indi-
vldual honestly to earn his livlng2
What are the people OF Paterson going to

France has lost two OF the three expeditions
sent out last fall with instructions to meet In
tho ne ghborhood OF Lake Tchad. Their mis-

two OF them has been very traeical The party
