AWAITING THE STORK.

A happy event which has been looked
forward to for sometime in the De SSgan
family is now expected to take place to-
ward the close of the month. The
Princess de SagaD (uee Gould, formerly
Countess Boni de Osstelane) has already
ordered nurses, and the visit OF the stork
will take place in the marble palace in
the Avenue Malakof, Paris, which was
erected upon the model of the Grand
Trianon at Versailles, unless her medi-
cal advisers counsel a removal to the
country, in view Of the fact that Paris at
the end of July is usually very hot. The
princess's mansion, however, is at the
gates Of the Bots de BoulOgne, and, but
for the noise of passing trains on the
Oeinture Railway, is quite removed from
the hustle of the capital.

In SPITE of the tariff wall, Cana
da buys most Of its imports from
the United States. Nearly two
thirds of all the goods imported in
to the Dominion come from this
side of the border. Manufactured
goods are first, with value Of
nearly ninety millions. One signi-
ficant item on the list of Canadian
imports is four million dollars
worth of settlers effects" 1t is
fine business for US to export manu-
featured and raw materials to Cana
da. but it is not so pleasant to con-
template the outgoing of the thou
sands Of settlers which accompany
these four million dollars worth OF
effects" We can produce more
steel rails and harvesters quickly
and with profit, but it takes genera
tions to make such settlers as those
whom Canada has been welcoming
from the United States during the
last FIVE or six years.

The West Colfax section of Denver

DON'T be weather vane. The
weather vane should be a warning
and not an example. There are a
certain class of people who only
indicate prevailing opinions and i'm
pressions, who have no mind of
their own. You can tell which way
the wind is blowing by listen
to the conversation of these people,
but for sincere Judgment and inde-
pendent opinions you go elsewhere.
These people hesitate to express
an independent opinion if they have
one for fear that it will not meet
the approval of those with whom
they are conversing. They are
either uncertain as to their judg-
ment or are afraid of ridicule.
Some persons are so burdened with
the desire of being on the popular
side and with the winning party
that they will not express them
selves until all others have given
their opinion. Independent though,
and expression is what the world
needs. 1t will help us as well as
those about us. IF you have a
thought or opinion that you believe
would be helpful to some one ex-
press it whether anyone agree:
with you or not. We belittle our
selves when we allow ourselves te
act the part of weather vanes, gooe
for nothing but showing which wa,
the wind blows.

THE best known labor union as
sembly has abandoned Sunday
meetings. After meeting for over
twenty-five years on Sunday after
Moons, the Central Federated Union
Of New York City has changed its
time Of meeting to Friday night.
The &c. F. U.," as it is popularly
called. is made up of delegates from
all sorts of trade unions, and ma
jority of these decided that Sunday
ought to be day of rest. Only a
few advocating churchgoing, it is
true, but many said that working.
man should be with his family or
Sunday, his one day of freedom
from toll. This action is a. symp-
tom. More and more the unions
in all parts of the country are work
ing for free Sunday. In the past
the more thoughtful and steady
members preferring their homes
and families to Sunday business
meetings, have left union affairs in
the hands Of members who have nc
home ties or who esteem them less
highly. This has been bad. for the
unions and bad for their more con-
1eryatiye members. Week night

THE efforts which Harry Thaw,
murderer of Stanford White, is
making to secure release from the
insane asylum to which he was
committed on the ground that he
was not mentally responsible when
he shot the New York architect,
strongly suggest the superiority OF
the English law to our own. I'm
der English law. if we are correctly
informed. no individual who es-
capes punishment for murder on
the ground of insanity can ever es-
cape from the asylum to which he
or she is committed as the result OF
such acquittal. 1t is argued under
the British system that when an in
dividual has at any time been so
insane as to take human life the
safety of society demands the per-
manent incarceration of him who
has been a murderer in fact. Eth
er the individual so acquitted is
liable, despite intervening periods
of apparent sanity, to suffer accur-
rance of the homicidal mania, or
else the acquittal on the ground OF
insanity was a miscarriage of justice
which can be at least in part cor
rected by incarceration for life.
Whichever alternative may be ac-
cepted by the friends Of the acquit-
ted, no substantial injustice can
come of permanent incarceration.
AS result, there are far fewer de-
fenses against the charge of murder
on the plea of insanity. Few sane
men. even if they be guilty, care to
run the risk Of confinement in an
insane asylum for life. And on
the other hand, when such plea
is entered and acquittal follows
society is protected from any posi-
bility Of the results of recurrence
Of the aff1iction. Opinion in the
case Of Thaw may, and doubtless
does, vary as to his sanity or the
reverse, but healthy opinion car
hardly vary as to the justice o.
kindly but effective Imprisonment
for the remainder Of his worse than
useless life.
