A WARNING TO CANADA.
MR. BRYCE At TORONTO.
SPEAKS on Democracy-His Care
for the Dominion's Interests.

Toronto. April 3.-James Bryce. British Am
bassador TO the United States. was the guest of
the Canadian Club at dinner to-day. A large
number of public OF the province were
present. Mr.. Bryce spoke on Some Lessons in
Modern Democracy as 1t Is in Switzerland"
He said that the Swiss had avoided the dangers
which usually beset democratic countries by
reason Of its poverty. While no one was very
poor great wealth almost unknown, and for
this reason graft was almost unknown in the
country. The temptations TO be crooked did not
exist, and the people, moreover, followed with
far more intentness than elsewhere the trend
Of public affairs Those principles which in
other democracies more often were themes of
government. i'm Switzerland were matters OF
actual practice.
With respect to Canada, he feared that the
country was destined by nature TO be rich and
would have TO count on feeling the drawbacks
which accompanied great wealth For that rea-
there all the more need of cultVatins
the virtues which led to good government. The
responsibilities of those who had the manage
ment of affairs were very great. Tradition. he
said. had almost everything to do with mould
ing the character of people. and what was
done now in the formative stage of Canada's
history would react on the nation during all the
centuries TO come.
A vote of thanks to the ambassador was moved
by Lieutenant Governor Clark.
Goldwin Smith. in a short address, said that
the plan of having a British representative at
Washington who familiarized himself with the
interests OF Canada was better than sending
Canadian across 10 the capital of the United
States, had been proposed. Mr.. Bryce he
was sure would do his best for Canada at WASH
ington. and his best would be the best that
could be done.
In ra0IViDp Mr. RrICe declined ~ commit
himself as to the course ne would follow with
regard 10 Canadian affairs but he insisted that
the feeling that Great Britain had ignored Cam
ada's interests in former negotiations was en-
tirely incorrect So far as it rested with him.
he said in closing, he would make it his para
mount duty to that Canada received every
consideration.

alleged Democrats. often happens when a
Democratic candidate stands in opposition 10 the
corporations.
II seems that Mayor Dunno made a very fine
showing IN the Republican wards and In the In
in those wards where the Democratic machine
leaders hold full control
II is another Indication OF the fact that the Dem
