manship. Similar feelings will, we fear,
be entertained by all future generations
of Canadians when thev see on the map
the long arm OF American territory run
ming down the Pacific shore and barring
our rich hinterland from access to the
sea.
~
The feeling of the Canadian people
will be evoked not so much against the
United States as against Great Britain
which is one Of the most unfortunate
features Of the whole matter.
~
The moment the composition of the
United States side of the Tribunal was
announced Canadians recognized that
the best they could hope for was draw.
The fear was expressed by many Canad.
ians that the British commissioner for
political reasons would side with the
United States, the home government pre-.
ferring disgruntied Canada to an angry
United States. This is precisely what
has happened in the judgment of Sir
Louis Iette and Mr.. Ayleswoth.
~
As it is, the damage is irremediable.
Canadians with very few exceptions will
accept without question the statement ol
their representatives that their interests
were sacrificed; and the resulting resent.
ment is certain to affect the attitude o
Canada towards the United States and,
in still greater degree. towards the
Motherland.

ROYAL Letters.

The French government has been
greatly bothered about the proper form for
the president of the republic to use in
writing to foreign rulers, and commits
sion has been appointed to consider the
whole subject of royal = letter-Writing.
Nicholas II. addresses President Loubets as
"Dear and Good Friend" Loubet adj
dresses Nicholas as Sire Francis
Joseph Of Austria calls Loubet Dear and
Honored Friend" and Is addressed by
Loubet as "Sire," but has to give him all
his titles, which are many; but not near
as numerous as those Of the Car of Rus
sia, which take up several pages. The
French commission ought to recommend
a synod of monarchs to put a stop to
this nonsense. Our presidents are by in
ternational etiquette supposed to address
European potentates by their official titles
but they do not always do it. "Mygreat
and good friend is used and is sufficient
The cabling of elongated titles is OK

Legislative Carelessness.

Some days ago we referred to the course
OF Governor Pennypacker Of PENNSYLVANIA
In warning the legislature that he would
refuse to sign all bills which were not
grammatically written and lucid in COM
position and constructions. Such legisla-
tive carelessness Is altogether too COM
mon. Important bills are written with
less care than a business man gives to
an answer to an unimportant letter. The
muss the Minnesota. legislature made OF
the game and fish commission law is "a.
reminder that Governor Pennypa cker's
rule could be adopted in this state with
very good results. In this case the legis-
lature has adopted a very important gen
eral law that contains conflicting para
graphs as to who the game and fish COM
missioners shall be. In one place this
botched law recognizes the old commits
sioners as still in office. and in another
directs the governor Immediately to ap-
point new commissioners There IS alb
solutely no excuse for such a blunder. A
tired out newspaper man with fifteen
minutes In which to prepare half a column
of copy would never make such an error
as that. If our. legislators are too busy
to ascertain whether their laws mean any
thing or not, they ought TO engage the
services Of a clear-headed .grammarian
and logician whose duty it would be to
see that the laws say what they try to
say and to eliminate inconsistencies.

GALLERY oRA1oer.

New York Journal of Commerce:
That was a. harmless and rather anus
ing bit Of gallery .oratory which the presi-
dent of the Northern Securities .compan NV
induAged in the other day at the launch
ing Of the great steamship for Pacific
commerce when he voluntarily posed as
a victim Of the charge of extending trade.
A fair way to meet the recent decision
against the northwestern railroad mer-
ger. was that followed by another promi-
nent fnancier who is also directly inter-
ested In the corporation when he frankly
admitted that it was not a question of
whether the present management Of the
company desired to restrain or promote
trade but merely whether, regardless of
good or bad intentions, the charter of the
company made possible a restraint Of
trade. .@'e "
This is the whole matter in nutshell,
and dramatic by-play on words is not
likely to befuddle the public; certainly it
will not influence the tribunal Of last re-
sort, which. before long. will settle once
for all the questions in dispute. s&
Whatever that final decision may be,
it is pretty we'll agreed in Wall street that
the management of the Northern Securi-
ties has resigned itself to defeat It is
likewise the opinion of very consider
able proportion of the Wall street com
munity that such defeat affords no occa-
sion for regret. What the eventual so
luton Of the present embarrass prob
lem will be involves considerations SO far
reaching that it is doubtful whether even
the talented tho not infalible organizers
of the corporation itself have yet hit upon
satisfactory method Of procedure. It
would seem, however, that. regardless of
the legal outcome, the stock market sig
nificance of the decision has already been
pretty thoroly discounted, if, indeed not
exaggerated.

: Organized labor can scarcely hope to
escape from suffering severe criticism by
public opinion for such acts as the strike
Of the General Electric inside wiremen,
which began yesterday afternoon. 1t ap-
pears that one Of the wiremen was sent
to work in a residence where a non
union paper hanger was employed. When
the wireman discovered that the paper
hanger was not a union man he refused
TO work In the building and was promptly
discharged. The union called out all the
union men. There was 81 no H complaint
against the General Electric, company In
volyed; no charge. even, that this COM
pany employed non union men. Simply
because somebody else hired q non-union
man to work on a different job, but in
the same building. the union wireman
throws down his tools and wa ks out.

CANADA FOR REcIPRoc

Winnineg Tribune

Mr.. Clancy, conservative member for
Boutwell,, says Mr.. Charltons speech fav-
oring reciprocity was unpatriotic and de-
signed to catch the votes of new set
tiers from the United States going
into the northwest territories. If Mr.
Carlton was unpatriotic in his ut.
terances in favor of reciprocity, then
there is host Of people in this
country whom Mr.. Clancy might class
as bad Canadians. The farmers want
reciprocity, If it will give them a cheaper
market in which to buy. The agricultural
industry Of Canada contributes consider
ably over half Of the whole amount Of
export trade, and we fancy they have. or
should have, some voice in saying how
and where they shall buy. The fact is
that the vast majority of western 4,eo-
pie would prefer to see the tariff brought
down fron its present protective basis to
one Of revenue--not for railway subsidies
necessary for the government of the

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
A Lesson OF the Holocaust.

A Lesson OF the Holocaust.
To the Editor Of The Journal.
The direful lesson taught by the ex-
plosion Of benzine or similar gas at the
Northwestern Star OH companyss plant
should be heralded to the uttermost.
Every one should remember that gaso-.
lenc and benzine gases are heavier than.
air, and will flow like water to lowest
levels and will accumulate in hollows or
deprassions; that the fluids should never
be stored or used in Easements or cell
lars, unless there Is a constant with
drawal Of the air and gases from the
floors; that the fluids will evaporate at
any temperature above freezing the
higher the temperature the more rapid
the evapora,tion; that the gases in cans
will often force out the stopper; that
gases extending by means Of gravitation
or air currents to fires, lights or electric
sparks will convey fire to the supply Of
gas with usual terrific results. Ssa3
In this respect gasolene or benzine are
more dangerous than powder, dynamite,
etc. which latter will remain where
placed
Life and property are needlessly ieopar-
dized by thoughtless handlers Of the
fluids, and proper officers should enforce
proper ordinances to reduce the hazard to
the minimum
Very truly yours,

No g.. - 80 : idea that somehow or
other Shakspere's literary fame will be
impaired by the propinquity Of a public

She would have the library building if the
structure must be erected in Stratford,
located in the suburbs, but she would pre-
fer that Stratford should be without the
Carnegie touch, entirely, land will stop
the alleged desecratfon If she can.
It is exceedingly doubtful if Shakspere,
II personally consulted about this matter,
would file any objection whatever. On the
contrary, it is certain that he would say:
by all means, put UP all the library
buildings you can, but fill them with good
reading. In my time Iz'would have given
anything had to have free access to a
well-stocked library % Shakspere GER
tainly would not protest that ''me and
Marie" eschew libraries. He and Marie
indeed would promptly diverge if = the
question came up between them. A Car
negie library in Stratford would no, doubt
contain all the best editions of Sha.kspere
which have been published since English
people began to take special interest In
his genius century after HIS death. Miss

MORE LETTERS OF CHARLES DARWIN. "A
Record of His Work in series of Hitherto
Unpublished Letters :; Edited by Francis Oar
Seward, Eel Fellow Of na Emmanuel fei College Cam.
paeten & Co. Friee,s SIS. n1a-tratea.
These volumes with the correspondence
heretofore published, reveal the life and
facts accomplished of the great scientist,
who traversed, with .indefatigable indus
try and Intelligent Investigation, every
field of scientific Inquiry, devoting himself
while he led in the investigation Of the
secrets OF the processes of nature. Some
Of these papers are autobiogra phical and
personal, revealing the man rather than
the grave scientist. His family letters
are charming and his letters written on
his voyages Of discovery and investiga-
ton, while sprinkled with scientific term
cruise of the Beagle resulted in most
valuable acquisitions to: the science of
natural history. One of the travel letters
in which he apologies for it's geological
prosy'' character,=.is full of flashes of real
humor. In letter to Emma wedgwood
he pays a most beautiful and touching
tribute to Mrs. Darwin. Many OF the
letters are naturally sdevoted to evolution
and natural selection, the latter: embody-
ing his views on the origin of species.
After Darwins visit to Galapagos he
began the studies which led him to formu
late his natural selection theory. The first
volume includes the letters and discussion
on evolution in which, the leading scien-
lists participated, and geographical ,distri
button Of plants is considered in the first
and second volumes. +Altho Darwin pleads
entire ignorance Of BOTANY he shows
himself remarka bly, well informed in
everything he wrote on the subject in
the second volume. wherein also are found
the discussion Of his favorite theory of
the descent OF man hby evolution from
the brutes and lower oTders ana most in
teresting letters F0i1 se6l6gy, among his
correspondents being }Sfr Charles Lyen,
James Croll, Professor !Geikfe and Sir j.
d. Hooker S The glaciers and ice action
are Interestingly discussed. These geology
letters are far from prosy and Darwin's
remarks on the education of children are
very suggestive. An outline of his life
based OH his diary is given, together with
an autobiograp phical fragment The three
portraits of Darwin show f1in1:as a pre-
cocious child and as he looked IN 1881 and
1854. the latter presenting a. splendid
head study, suggesting formidable INTEL
lectual powers, which nabled; him to ex-
plore so earnestly, confidently and. dar-
ingly the mysteries Of nature.

Fourteen people met in st. Paul yes
terday to. consider ways and means to
suppress the small boy with the Are
cracker on the Fourth Of July. There are
about $4,000 small boys in st. Paul who
are considering ways and means to make
more noise this Fourth thar. ever. and the
chance the committee of fourteen has of
realizing its purpose is about as small
as the ratio of IA to $4,000. The aim of
the committee is good, but it is altogether
too high for this stage of American civ
ilization. Regulations which make the
one who plays with powder strictly re-
sponsible for the damage he does is ali
right, however, and should be rigidly en-
forced. .... H..y..s - =. -. .~.-- T.
