sentiment Of Canada for the Canadians
is supplemented by the sentiment OF
Canadians for Canada" The devel-
opment, within recent years, OF this
spirit OF nationality is one Of the strik-
ing features Of Canadian life.
In all that pertains to social and
personal matters the relations between
Canadians and Americans are friendly,
cordial and even intimate. The Ameri-
can is quite at home in Canada, and the
Canadian is equally so in the States. But
Canadians have not forgotten that for
nearly thirty-five years the United States
turned deaf ear to their proposals for
a revival Of those reciprocal trade rela-
tons which we cancelled in 1866, nor are
they deaf to the reciprocity talk now going
on, all of which is at present on our side
of the line. They are not worrying about
it now. They do not need such relations
as they did even q decade ago. Aside
from all political sentiment, their well
come Of Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN's proposals
has also commercial basis. England
sends an invitation. The United States
has sent refusals, and there is little sore
spot in the Canadian heart because OF
them. But all that could be healed by u
little tact and by the adoption, on our
side of the line, of Il broader view OF the
greatest interests and the highest well
fare of both countries.
Canada is quite ready to buy our loco
motives, and all else that she can buy
from us to advantage, but she thinks
that it would be no more than fair if, on
our part, we gave her little better show
in our markets for some Of her products.
Our commercial cooperation with Canada
will be vastly better than any CONNER
cial competition with her, and she is
reaching the point where her competition
will count

MIR. Bigeiow Reminds MIR. ChOate OF
1877.

We need not invite attention to the re-
markable article in which Mr. JOHN BIGE-
LOW discusses for the benefit of Ambas-
sador CHoATE and everybody else the
relation of the Supreme Court to the
Electoral Commission of 1877 and the
momentous decision which Mr.. Justice
BRADLEY's vote determined.
1t is twenty-six years since that ex-
Unconstitutional tribunal excluded Mr..
TrLDEN from the Office to which great
part Of the people Of the United States
then believed that he had been legally
elected. The passions Of the controversy
have passed into history, but the const-
tutional principles are the same as they
were quarter OF a century ago, and Mr..
BIoELow shows that they make as inter-
esting a subject as ever.
II there has been any change in per-
sonal convictions respecting the event,
is it not in the direction which Mr.. BIGE-
Low, in speaking Of the great wrong done
to his friend In the name of political ex-
pediency, indicates so vigorously in his
remark to Mr.. CHoATE? IF any one. he
says, were to profess belief at this day
that HAYES was constitutionally elected,
l venture to doubt whether you would
think that mans name worthy Of being
cited as an authority for such an opinion
in any court of justice or in any public
assembly"
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1903-07-19

tends, too, that women are replac ing
children in manufacturing, to the great
advantage Of society. The trade-union
view is wholly different. II is that when
women become wage earners it can only
be in the long run at the cost of lower
ing of the wages of their fathers, broth
ers and husbands. 1t is that the man
should support the family and that his
wages should be high enough to enable
him to do it, as they cannot be if he has
to compete with the great flood Of cheaper
female labor.
Undoubtedly. however. many a family
would be hard pressed to get on if the
daughters did not add their weekly earn
ings to the common family fund. In the
modern development of civilization, also,
new and great industries are continually
added, and women are engaged in many
Of these without competing with men, at
least directly. The question may be
debatable whether the field of labor will
be extended as fast as the supply OF labor
increases, by natural increase, by the
immigration Of races peculiarly prolific,
and by the addition of a constantly en-
larging percentage Of women workers.
At the present time. certainly, there is
no reason for complaining of the wage
scale, either because of the competition
of women or Of immigrants, for wages
are higher than ever.

The Lato George shattuck Morrison.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SCN--.ST: The sud
den demise OF Mr.. George 8. Morrison. one OF
the most distin rushed of American engineers,
has revealed to his cOuntrymen the surprising
extent OF the fame which he enioved among
his professional brethren in foreign lands. In
q letter received from Mr.. Bunau-Varilla. one
of the most eminent OF modern French enRi-
neers with a larger experience OF isthmian
canaliyation than any other person now living,
he writes:
Nothing could hur, me more than the sudden and
unexpected news OF the death OF George Morrison
Undoubtedly you have experienced the same sor-
row. as know how much you appreciated the emil
nent qualities OF the heart and Of the mind OF that
eminent man. IL Is grea: loss for u.s. his friends
but II Is great loss also for America Just as she II
about to undertake the great work 10 which Mr.
Morrison had given so many proofs OF his keen in
sight and mighty character.
The Paris liaHn OF July S. says:
The death OF MI George Morrison. one Of the most
eminent engineers OF the United States, Is an
nounced. Mr.. Morrison was lncontestably an engi
neer OF the highest authority IN matters OF bridge
construction. 1t Is to him that the credit for the
most important works OF this character in the United
States Ia due. He recently received q catering
recognition from the Exposition OF 1900 for his
Memphis Bridge. a kilometre and half In length
crossing the Mississippi He was one OF the Gov
eminent members or the lsthfnldn canal commits
sion which had TO decide between the Nicaragua
and Panama routes and 1t was here that his ex-
ceptional value as an engineer. as well as the Arm
ness OF his character. played part which may be
properly described as historical. He was one OF
the rst OF the members Of this Commission TO per
ceive the superiority OF the Panama route and 20
defend Il against the practically unanimous opinion.
both In technical and political circles In the United
States In favor OF the Nicaragua route He. with
very small majority Of the Commission. led the
contest which gradually converted technical and
popular opinion and finally assured the definite
triumph OF the Panama solution.
The Figaro says nf Mr.. Morrison that he
was the promoter Of the Panama canal sou-
ton. and his opinion wss adopted by the Gov
eminent of the United States"
The TEMPS gives Mr.. Morrison the credit
OF having contributed much TO the decision OF
the Government Of the United States in favor
of the Panama route. D.

SEEK REFLEX FROM ST. ANNE.
Great ThronH Of the AFFLICTED at the An.
nual NOyena NJ Her Shrine.

Palsied men and women, crippled chill
dren and people with all kinds Of human
Affections thronged the Church of st. Jean
Baptist In East Seventy-sixth street yes
terday to attend the annual novena at the
shrine Of st. Anne, mother Of the Virgin
Mary. They came from all quarters Of
the city and villages and towns near by
All day long there were groups Of afflicted
mostly children, PROSTATE before the
shrine where the relic Of the famous
saint was exposed. The church was
crowded to the doors from morning until
late at night with sufferers fervently pray
ing at the shrine, whose fame is second only
to that Of Our Lady Of Lourdes in France.
On either side Of the altar dedicated to
the good St. Anne were piles OF canes,
crutches and braces left there in former
years by cripples. cured by their faith In
the relique. 1t is estimated that 5000
people kissed the reliquary yesterday.
During the novena which will end on
July 70, masses will be said In the church
