Exir Sentiment. Enter Businesr

Exir Sentiment: Enter Business
A London correspondent Of the
New York Z1i6uNe cables that the
indifference Of Lord Lansdowne
to American "sensitiveness" on
the Nicaragua Canal question cor
responds to change in British
sentiment.
There was real enthusiasm,
this correspondent says, in Eng
land in favor oil America dur
ing the Spanish war, but it has
cooled off. This is partly because
American opinion was divided
during the Boer war. but mainly
because the imperial m ovement
mas received a great impulse rom
the loyalty displayed BY the colo
nies, and because also the German
hmpsros has proved q tsast
and useful ally Ia heading oil
Europe an intervention. The plaih
truth is that German support is
considered more helpful than
American good feeling; hence
there is no disposition to make un-
necessary concessions TO the
United States, either on the canal
question or the Mavbrick case,
which has again been brought up
by he prisoners friends.
ct us hope that all this may
prove true. Sentimental dipIo-
macy, based on British "enthu-
siasm" for US during the Spanish
war, has cost US Z. 900 square miles
OF territory in Alaska and car e
within aa ace of costing US our
right to control our own canal,
Now let US drown sentiment and
get down to business, beginning
with these two propositions:
Not another inch Of ground to
England in Alaska.
An American canal, builI with

The issue OF another loan OF eleven

The larger questions connected with
temperance legislation-such questions
as the reduction of licenses and the
payment of compensation-were not
really opened in the debates OF yester-
day and the day before. The temperance
party IS quite reconciled to the view that
hall Loaf is better than no bread But
the Government which sh owed its inter.
estin the matter by Eeaving the Treasury
Bench wholly deserted at the beginning
of the discussion, has not the pluck to
propose measures actually agreed to by
the representatives Of the omnipotent
trade" The cowardice Of the Govern
ment Is as great as its majority. .
But the debate, we fancy, has taught
the Gov srnment a lesson. 1t may yet
come to perceive that there are enemies
at home as we'll as abroad. and that it is
of little use to exert the circumference
Of an Empire if its vigor, moral and

Lon4on Daily Chronicle. FEB. sl.

On the unhappiness caused by drink
in England, Mr. Ritchie had no doubts
himself 1t is seen that the curse
OF national drunkenness is not a thing
TO be laughed at in the convivial spirit
oi Jolly good fellows every oue." The
coldn- IS and half hearted laughter with
which Mr., Tully's Early Victorian mer-
riment upon the subject was s-received
by the House were signs of the times,
and MIR I. w. Russell expressed the
general feeling in his protest against
that way OF treating a danger which, as
SIR Edward Grey also pointed out last
night. is Threatening our very exist ence
as Great Power. Things, as we have
said, have changed since Mr.. Richie
made his FIRST attempt; The Royal
Commission has sat, and it is year and
a half since they published their two
very elaborate reports. The divergence
between those two reports has been
welcomed by the Government as an
excuse for doing Dothing at all. Yet,
as Mr.. Caine, that sturdy veteran Of the
conflict, remarked last night, there are
no less than 80 important regulations on
which both reports are agreed. On
those SO points alone it would be quite
possible to build a measure which we
believe would now be approved by all
temperance advocates, apart from the
few extremists who would rather see
England drunk than sobered by com.
promises and concessions

Public sentiment was strongly
against the House yesterday in its at

Chest Of Pains Bill Shows its

Yesterday.

The House was a trife late IN get

ing called at 9:15. Several of the mem
bers were dilatory in making their ap-
pearance, especially those representa-
tives whose names, commencing with
the latter letters of the alphabet, give
them a few moments grace at roll call.

buttonhole, strolled in the door just
in time to answer aye
Immediately after the reading of the
minutes Kauimakaole introduced the
ghost of the Pain franchise bill to the
House. The honorable representative
voted on the majority side yesterday,
but after due consideration and the
passing of a nights rest, possibly
haunted by the franchise spook,
should be given another chance.
He asked for reconsideration. A
lively discussion, in which Mahoe and
Makekau volubly assisted, ensued; the
motion was firmly and promptly voted
down, and the spook, destitute of even
a ghost of a chance, laid TO rest.
Representative Emmeluth seized the
opportunity to move an adjournment
for the day, adding that there was
plenty of work for the committees TO
attend to. The motion was seconded
by Mousarrat. Mahoe raised objections
but on being Informed that motion
to adjourn was not debatable, subsid-
ed. The motion was carried by small
margin.
AS the House was scattering, Mahoe
attempted to raise the point that not
ten votes had been cast, and Speaker
Akina made a feeble attempt with his
gavel to recall the House without re-
suit.
There were whispers in the House
that "Bob's" return has something to
do with the attempted revival of the
moribund bill, but little anxiety was
entertained as to it's ultimate resur-
rection. The franchise is dead-dead
as a door nail.
