Some of the sidewalks in Laclede
have not been kept as we'll repaired
as they should be, and the weather
lately has made it harder to steer
clear of the holes. This should be at

the city. A few minutes work will
make most of the walks safe, and 1t
should be done before the weather is
worse. Further neglect might cause
trouble.

THE SITUATION IN CANADA.

A special correspondent writing 10 the
Chicago Record-Herald from Quebec.
says:
The independence Of Canada movement
is bound to become an actual force from
this time forward in Dominion politics.
1t is rapidly spreading among the
FTsnch-CaEadian element OF the popula-
ton. Ii was loudly applauded last Sun
day By the thousands Of people. who had
assembled at the tomb Of the late Pre-
mier MERCER 10 decorate the grave Of
the former French-Canadian leader. and
who were addressed By number OF mem
bers Of parliament and others after their
return from the cemetery. II was re-
solved at this meeting TO erect Z maj nifi-
cent monument in one Of the city
squares Of Montreal 10 the memory OF
Mr.. Mercier. and the suggestion Of Mr..
Monet. NJ. r, that on the pedestal should
be inscribed the words. "3iarchons vers
Independence de notre patrie- (march
on toward the independence of our coun-
try. was greeted with the widest enthu-
siasm.
Mr.. Monet. who represents in parlia-
ment the country Of Laprairie. which s
only separated from Montreal by the
st. Lawrence, urged that the time had
almost arrived for the Canadian people
TO unite in working for the conquest of
their Independence. The late action of
England in the Alaskan boundary affair
was a complete Justification. he said, OF
this line OF action.
The appreciation which greeted these
words was unanimous There was not
a single note of dissent. while as If 10

plete separation of Canada from England
the president of the meeting. Arthur
Geoffrion, declared that the monument
TO Mercier should bear also the figure
of Louis Riel. mathematical of the entire
Professionalism people. 1t will be re-
membered that il was this Louis Riel who
was hanged, though declared by a num-
Der Of doctors 10 be insane. for the part
he had played in fomenting and leading
the rebellion of 1885, and Mr.. GeffriOn
called to mind the eulogy OF the rebel
made by MERCER. and declared that he
was one of their brethren who had been
hanged for his country.
There is no manner of doubt that the
majority of the Canadians. and
particularly those who follow the lead
Of Sir Wilfrid Laurier. have long look
ed forward to the political independence
of Canada, and that the dissatisfaction
which has been caused by the Alaska
boundary decision in the English as we'll
as in the French provinces has sp-
peared to them to afford an excellent OPP
portunity for the initiation of their prop
uganda.
1t would only remain for Sir Wilfrid
Laurier to place himself at the head of
the movement TO insure fl a large meas
ure of success. He is too astute. however,
for precipitate action, though nobody
doubts that he will be ready enough 10
jump into the vanguard of the move
ment as soon as he is quite sure that its
success is assured beyond peradventure.
His own inclinations in this respect
are shown by his present demands that
Canada be accorded the treaty-making
power.

power

The dream of the French Canadians is
today. as il was in the time of MERCER,
"a French republic on the banks of the
St. Lawrence" This is what they look
for as the outcome OF Canadian indie
pendence. In the opinion of some of the
most far-seeing of their public men the
present agitation for political separation
from Britain is somewhat premature.
Consequently a counter movement is
looked for which, while keeping the ulti-
mate destiny of the country. they
understand it, well in view and in the
minds of the rising generation. Will seek
to restrain the more impetuous element
of the population and teach it patience
until such time IS the present enormous
increase from within Of the FTench-Cana-
dian people will have given them that
numerical superiority which will assure
them of the complete control of national
affairs
So far as the great majority Of the
Enelish-speaking population Of the Do
minion is concerned. there is no desire
for a change in the existing relations be-
tween Canada and the mother country.
But their eyes are gradually opening 10
what is before them. The aims and am
billions of their French neigh
bors are no longer concealed. They real
ize the constant growth Of the latters
numerical importance, ana Know that
they are poweress to keep pace with T.
For many years the French province
of Quebec has dictated the govern
ment of the Dominion. What it would
do with the British connection severed,
and especially when the French-Canadian
population of Canada exceeds the num-
Der Of English-speaking Canadians. is
not pleasant to contemplate.
Feeling assured that a change Of some
kind is inevitable. it is not very surpris-
ing that English-speaking Canadians
should be asking themselves whether il
would not be better for them to facili-
tate the entry of the Dominion into the
American Union. where they would be
assured of equal rights with millions OF
their race and kind under the federal
Constitution Of the United States. which
might or might not be theirs as subjects
