A ROYAL QUICK CHANGE

An English prince. the Duke of Con-
naught, was going to Germany on visit
to his imperial nephew on some rather
special occasion. At junction some
hours distant from Berlin he was informed
that the kaiser had come to meet him
there. Alighting from the train, he walked
across the platform to where William II.
was to be seen leaning anxiousy from
the window Of his saloon. II have made
you an admiral Of the Prussian navy
was the emperors greeting; "come in here
quickly" The English prince went in
accordingly. and appeared again a few
minutes later In complete rig-out of q
Prussian admiral, which the kaiser had
seemingly brought with him from Berlin
for his relatives use.

The Pin.Prick Policy in Canada.

There is a loud demand on the part OF
the Canadian Manufacturers association
for a revision of the Canadian tariff, re-
vision with them meaning doubling on
the present tariff except where 1t affects
their raw material, In which cases they
would like to see 1t lowered. These man
ufacturers are very intent upon holding
the whole of the domestic trade for them
selves, and while agitating for higher tar
IFS, resort to every possible means to
arouse anti-American feeling in Canada
Their latest move Is to stir the Canadian
people up to refusing American silver,
which crculates more freely than Cana
dian silver in many portions of Canada.
There are many other evidences OF a
systematic effort to arouse the enm1ty or
the Canadian masses against everything
American. OF course, 1t Is short-slghted
policy, with Americans going into west
ern Canada-which will soon be the great
consuming domestic market Of Canada
at the rate Of $4,000 year. to say moth
Ing Of the faulty of encouraging little
nation to exasperate a big one.
But, fortunately, there is not lacking
some moderate counsel In Canada. The
Toronto Sun differs with President Birge
of the Manufacturers association, In his
assertion that reciprocity sentiment In
Canada Is absolutely dead. It may be
dead among the manufacturers, eager to
monopolize the home market at the ex-
pense Of the consumers, but it is not dead
among the consumers, or among the pro-
ducers desirous of entering the great
American markets. Writing in the Sun,
Goldwin Smith says:
The movement in favor Of reciprocity
in the United States, we are most cred
IDLY assured, is strong and hopeful, tho
it may not be likely at once to prevail
over the powerful group Of log-roll1ng
monopolies intrenched in the legislature at
Washington. To the Canadian farmer
the success of the movem ent is manifestly
of the highest Importance. For much of
the produce of the farm the market close
at hand must obviously be preferable to
one on the other side Of the Atlantic. But
this is the moment chosen In certain quar-
ters for laborious appeals to anti-Amer1-
can feelings and revtvals OF the dead
quarrel of 1872. The fact is that there Is
a division of interests among us. On one
side is the interest-if it should not rather
be called the sectional sentim ent-of q
social circle which looks to the British
court and aristocracy, and with which Is
combined another circle proud Of descent
from the loyalists of the Revolution; on
the other side Is the material interest OF
the great body Of the Canadian people.
Reciprocity between these two countries
Is In the material interest Of all the peo-
pie of both. Selfish interests on both sides
Of the line may continue to deceive and
mislead the people a while longer, but In
the end the two dem ocracies will do them
selves good by realizing reciprocity. There
may be a back current just now in Can
ada, but it will not last Nature has de-
creed that there shall be freedom Of trade
on this continent. Men delay the effec-
tuation Of the decree, but they cannot
change it.

ELECTRICAL RAILWAYS IN ITALY

Clyde Fitch says that on One occasion
budding playwright managed to gain
access to Richard Mansfield for the pur-
pose of reading play to him. Mansfield
took the manuscript from the mans hands
and glanced over it for perhaps twenty
minutes. Then he gave it back with few
words of suggestion and criticism. IT do

The district comprises large lumber

And Ephriams cake not turned.
