find many allusions 10 II In Shakespeare's =

In the catch proper there was some
trick or catch in the words, ;ss i'm that
famous one OF Calcott's. where the first
voice sings ."Ah. how Sophia" and the
next catches" this with the phrase "a
house a-fre," which I'm the rapid pro-
nynciation OF that time would sound
much like ''Ah. how Sophia"
The round, however Is often confounu-
ed with the catch: musically they do not
differ, both the round and the catch
being varieties OF the canon in the uni

souTHwEsT,s ANSWER READY,

Those Republicans who have, the
nerve" to go around demanding that
the tariff shall be revised by it's friends
are only a trif1e less amusing than
those other ranters parading under the
same party label who insist that Ari-
zona, New Mexico and Oklahoma will
never be admitted to the Union by a
Democratic congress. The humor of
this political claptrap is, however, un-
appreciated by the people of those
three territories, who know they have
been kept out Of the Union at least half
a dozen years by a Republican con-
gress, and not for reasons of popula-
tion, readiness for statehood or any
other that would have standing IN a
high-school debating society. Brutally
and truthfully set forth, Arizona, New
Mexico and Oklahoma have been kept
out of the Union for reasons wholly
partisan, none the less wholly unjust,
because, forsooth. these intelligent,
mayhap ungrateful, commonweaIths
would Immediately after taking on the
trappings of statehood send to Wash
ington six senators and four members
Of the house. every one of them a
Democrat.

CANADA RETALIATES.

The inevitable has come in the case
of Canada. After years of waiting for
some lowering of the tariff wall erect
ed by Republican policies against their
trade with this republic, the Canadians
have come to ask themselves whether
they, too, should not take steps to
guard themselves against invasion by
American manufacturers. This is fast
becoming the issue of the hour among
thoughtful Canadians. Population is
pouring in. Where love nor money was
adequate to secure an addition to
Canadian population a few years ago.,
the tide is now setting in and from
the very country toward which Cana
dams had rushed for better social and
business conditions than they found at
home.
Canadians are asking each other why
they cannot reverse the figures repre-
sented by $120.oo0,Ooo imports from
the United States and $6G,000,000 Of
exports to that country. If they must
import manufactured articles there is
England, from which they can import
as cheaply, if not as promptly. The
tide of immigration has set their way,
and the 100000 Canadians in the
United States will soon be fully COM
pensated for by immigration from the
United States, unless there is cessa-
ton of the present currents of settle
,,,apt in Wastnrn Canada
For two generations Canadian states
men have been urging reciprocity be-
tween their country and this. They are
urging it no longer. Retaliation is a
weapon which may be used by any
national hand when the occasion de-
mands. Retaliation on the part of
European nations has long been in con-
temptation. National jealousies have
protected US there. There is no such
protection in Canada. Unless we let
down the tariff bars, Canada will ad-
just her policies and deal with us in
kind. She is being compelled by the
progress of events daily to do so speed
lily.
The resignation of Minister Tarte
from the Laurier cabinet is only a sign

the subject Of trade relations with the
United States. They will no longer

cate that they are merely trying to
make political capital or have made no
study of the question worthy Of the
name. There is nothing anarchistic or
even new in the doctrine. Our nearest
and most prosperous neighbor, Canada,
owns it's own coal mines. In that
country there is no such thing as pri-
vate ownership Of these great mineral
deposits. Take as an instance the
Dominion Coal company Of Nova
Scotia. 1t does not own it's mines. The
Organization would excite a riot that
could not be quelled in a day If 1T
should claim discriminating Provi-
dence, knowing its superior ability to
conduct a great enterprise of the kind,
had conferred upon it the right in per
petuity to dig and sell coal to the peo-
pie Of Canada.
The best the Dominion Coal company
or any other like organization can get
in Canada is lease, which the OF
tawa government is empowered to ter
inmate at any time and take the mines
over to itself In such aneevent 1t only
compensates the operators for any inn
provements they may have made.
Moreover, if the operators fail to keep
mines going in the Dominion their
leases are at once nullity. 1t can be
readily seen, therefore, that a long
strike which would tie up coal lands
could not occur in Canada.
British Columbia is even more rigid
| than Nova Scotia in safeguarding the
| rights of the people. Out there a rail-
way company was to have certain lands
| for a subsidy, and the granting act
provided that if any of the lands should
| prove to be coal-bearing lands the
| company must convey to the crown,
in the interest Of Canada, "a portion
| thereof to the extent of $4,000 acres,
| the same to be of equal value per acre
as coal lands within the residue of
such lands" The government was to
| hold these lands "for the purpose Of
securing a sufficient and suitable sup
ply of coal to the public at reasonable
prices, not exceeding 1900 pounds, free
on board at the mines"
| Canada does not stop at coal either
| in its theory that natural wealth is the
property of the whole people. 1t was
on this very ground that the Hon. Mr..
Sifton defended his demand for roy
atty Of large proportions on all gold
mined along the British Yukon.
