TELEGRAPH CONTROL.
Canadian Government to Buy sud oPsr-

Toronto. Feb. 4.-The Dominion gov
ernment has practically taken steps TO

ate them in connection with the post
Office department. IL Is also proposed
20 follow similar course with the tele-
phone. but in the case Of the latter
municipalities will be- licensed as IN

their own areas
The question Of the absolute control
Of the Canadian Telegraphic service has
long been discussed. but not until the
present liberal government came into
Office has IL been possible 20 talk pur'
chase With surplus running from
100000 to 100000 for loOO.Ol and
a prospect Of an annually large surplus
for l9Ot-02, the plan seems feasible.
The great desire Of Canadian states
men is 10 see cables owned by Great
Britain under the Atlantic and Pacific
aud joined nc each ocean 10 wires owned
by the Dominion crossing this country.
and thus practically girdle the globe by
a cable absolutely under imperial con

they believe William Mulock, who
forced ON Great Britain the adoption u
the ocean penny postage, which has
actually reduced the loss ON Dominion

Victoria s reign would be remarkable for its length if for no other reason. but tt Is the more remarkable not for the success of England on land and sea, for it's Territorial eNten- sion for it's diplomatic triumphs or for the great men who rose and sank within that slxty-tAree years. but for beneficial changes which were slowly wrought out for ahc common people of not only Great Britain and Ireland. but of the whole empire. There was never before a sver,l ign SO deeply loved and there was perhaps never before a peo- pie so loved by a sovereign. It was by this love rather than by great consstl- tutional power, for her power was nOi great, that sine accomplished so much for her subjects Ministers would never have yielded to a legs persistent queen and if Vlct-ria's affection for the mass,s had Leen lesas she would have been less persistent.

Inmedlatcly upon election to the senate by fusion vote of the Idaho
 legislature last week, THE Mir Dubois proclaimed NEW himself a democrat ani DEMOC- announced the intention RACY." of entering that party's caucus. Originally a re- publican. he became a silver republi. can in 1896, and since that time has affiliated with the democracy under Mir. Bryan's leadership He drops now the designation of silver republican and courageously takes that of demo- crat. He is justified in his action, and l there can be no doubt of the cordialIty of his reception by the men now in control of the democratic party. They will be happy to receive him. and will endeavor to make him feel very much at hone.
 And Mir. Dubois makes another an- nouncement equally interesting. MT. Hei;ileld also is going into the demo- cratic caucus. And why not? A pup- ulist of populists, the junior senator from Idaho has, like MT. Dubois, been in utilization with the democracy ever that party. and now feels, one may as- sume from Mir. Dubois statement, SO much at home with democrats that he finds 1t easy to accept the name for himself. The Colorado populists have taken a similar step. and evidently the fee'!ng Is spreading.
 There Is no reason why it should not invade and possess itself of populist bosoms everywhere. If MT. Bryan is a democrat they are democrats. and while his lamp holds out to burn the extremest man of his faith may with all good rcason toward him turn.
 Still another interesting announce ment is the fact that Messrs Teller, Pettigrew, Towne and Cannon, all sl- yer republicans, have congratulated
 
 it "a sign of hope for the new democ racy." May We not soon expect there fore to hear of those gentlemen going into the democratic household. and MT. Teller into the democratic caucus: And why not? If Mir. Bryan is a democrat. they are democrats. If there is single reason why they should object to the name of democrat as that word Is now applied in our politics f does not appear,to the naked eye. And that their reception would be cordial IS crr- tain. It would occasion a jubllation.
 "The new democracy!" The title Is happily chosen. It expresses the whole situation. The old democracy is thing of the past, It is impossible to see how a return can be made to con ditions which existed prior to 1896. Con- ceding that a reorganization of the party is necessary. reorganization, like revolutions. do not go backward.
