Chase's Attacks Gil Lincoln.

Salmon p. Chase, while Secretary Of the
Treasury during Mr.. L!ncoln's first term,
began q serious and systematic canvass
for the presidential nomination, and al
though he continued to delude himself
and assure his friends that he was in
different to advancement and anxious
only FOR the public good. he found plenty
of leisure in the must of his arduOuS du-
ties and immense responsibilities to write
hundreds of letters to friends in different
parts Of the Union pointing out the mis-
takes of the Pre- Sident and leaving the
irresistible conclusion that he was the
only man capable of saving the country.
Many of these letters are published in MS
biography and it is inexplicable that he
pres rved the documentary evidence o.
his treachery, and even more remarka ole
that his family thus exposed him to pub
lie censure and contempt
President Lincoln was fully informed
concerning every movement MI ohase
made for the latter was surrounded ny
false frie nGs who were willing to destroy
him However, he rebuked the talebear-
ers and discouraged all conversation con-
corning the ambition of MS secretary OF
the Treasury, and when the criticisms
uttered by Mr.. Chase OF himself and the
members Of his cabinet were brought to
his attention he declined to listen TO
them.
II have determined he said. Ito shut
my eyes so far as possible to everything
of the sort Mr.. Chase makes good
Secretary and j shall keep him where he
is. If he becomes President, al right

cess or failure in these schemes as long
as he does his duty at the head or the
Treasury Department.

Canadians. They thought it would go
far to counteract the effects of the pro-

the United States and Canada much too
chummy.
In Ottawa the feelings of the people

with JOY. because of the increased brill

follow the dukes advent. But many Of
the leading statesmen regretted the COM
ing of man so close to the person Of
the king for fear it might disturb the
democratic atmosphere OF the Canadian
capital
In London the Dominion is represented
by a high commissioner, who united in
his person the functions of an ambas-
sador and a consul as we'll as of legis

has been held by Lord Strathcona and
Mount Royal. the grand old man of Can

man. who was plain Donald Smith be-
fore he made his millions in Canadian Pa
cific, represents the pioneer and the mod
ern master of industry. He was an
agent of the Hudson's Bay Company long
before it surrendered the rights granted
to the company of gentleman adven-
turers by King Charles. he remains as
one of the foremost citizens OF Canada
at the time of it's highest development.
An empire builder. he is an imperialist
but he is what Canada thinks an i'm
perialist ought to be, and not what Eng
land thinks he ought to be. In him the
spirit of the Canada of the nineteenth

probable that Donald Smith soon will
give way to a man who will represent in
London that new Canada which has been
growing up under the nuturing care of
Sir Wilfrid Laurier-a progressive Can
ada which is more democratic than i'm
perial, more Canadian than British, more
national than colonial.
And yet. though Canada is jealous Of
it's government and would brook no in
reference from London, 1T must not be
forgotten that its people are loyal to the
British crown. Whatever betides, the
Canadian is in sentiment q Briton. He
is proud of the grandeur and glory of
the empire and 1t may be that he some
times sees in his minds eye the capital
of the greatest power in the world re-
