CANADA REFUSES.

Partial returns from the Canadian
constituencies indicate a decisive de-
feat for the Laurier Ministry and the
election Of a House Of Commons hostile
10 reciprocity with the United States
The Liberals sustained serious losses IN
Ontario and Quebec and failed to hold
their own In the Maritime Provinces, so
that expected gains In Western Canada
can hardly overcome the present lead of
tire Opposition.
The Canadian voters have evidently
been governed more by prejudice than
~ reason in rejecting q friendly trade
agreement by which both Canada ard
the United States would undoubtedly
have profited. Yet the people Of the
Dominion are entitled to their own opin-
ion as to the effects Of a compact in
tended 10 bring the two countries into
closer commercial relations, and if they
believe that the political dangers Of such
an association Of interests would out
weigh its admitted economic advantages
It is not for the people Of the United
States 70 quarrel with that decision.
At all events this country has shown
its willingness 10 renew the reciprocal
trade arrangements of half a century
ago. whose annulment by the govern
nent at Washington Canada long re-
GREETED. Trade across the border IS
bound 10 increase because Of the natural
desire Of the people of the two countries
10 do business with each other A policy
Of hostility to such trade is unthinkable
on either side Of the boundary line
Though Canada has temporarily refused
10 sanction a compact intended to OK
pand American-Canadian commerce. the
United States Will not alter its attitude
Of friendliness or cease TO hope that
another agreement aiming at the same
results as the Taft-Laurier compact will
some day be approved ny both nations.

P0BERT HART. AND OTHERS.

There is no exaggeratiOn IN regarding
the late SIR Robert Hart as one Of the
important historical figures Of the nine
teenth century. The work which he did
for China and for the world at large
was Of immense value He gave 70 that
empire an honest and enlightened ad-
ninistratiOn of one OF the chief depart
ments Of its governmental service, the
only department, II used to he said, that
was thus administered he provided It
with revenue, and made its commercial
relations respectable and worthy Of con-
fidence. On more than one occasion he
and his work alone stood between China
and Intervention, possibly spoliatlon.
He also facilitated for all nations salts
factory mercantile intercourse with
China and often gave needed protection
and succor to imperilled foreigners in
that strange land.
The lessons Of his career are many,
but there is one which is peculiarly
timely for our own land and day. II
was a noteworthy coincidence that at
almost the very moment when the news
Of Sir Robert Harris death was being
given to the world President Taft was
reminding his hearers in Northern
Michigan of the opportunity and the
duty Of the United States TO provide for
the doing of a work in Central America
not unlike Harris in China. There is, Of
course, a great difference between Hon
duras and Nicaragua on the one hand
and China on the other and between
the provisions Of our pending treaties
with them and the terms Of Harris con-
tract with the Picking government Yet
there is also an essential and funca-
mental likeness between them, in that
I'm each case aid is given by the strong
10 the weak and by the prosperous TO
the less fortunate.
It cost England nothing 10 lend Rob
ert Hart TO China, and It gave her great
gain. II cost the United States nothing
to lend a fiscal administrator to Santo
Domingo and ii has been Of immense
profit to both parties. II would cost us
nothing to ratify these Central Amer
lean treaties and thus TO give needed
aid 10 our struggling neighbOrs, and it
would be Of great profit to them and to
us. 1t is impossible not 10 admire the
achievements Of Sir Robert Hart in
China. It ought TO he impossible for
us 70 hesitate in opening the way for
comparable achievements in the adjacent
states which look to US, and which have
certain moral right 10 look 10 US FOR
such service.

many spaniards dissociated themselves
from the organization. Mr.. Canalejas

the Socialists in promoting reforms; but
he quickly arrlyed himself against these

II was deliberately framed to invite a

President Taft has never concealed
his opinion that the wool and woollen
duties ought to be lowered. But he

TO BRING CASTLE TO AMERICA
Historic Tattershall To Be Re-erected
on Long Island by Purchaser.

London. Sept Alt was announced To-
day that Tattershal Castle. in Lincoln
shire, a medieval structure dating from
the middle fifteenth century, has been pur-
chased by an American. The old castle
will be pulled down and regretted on Long
Island. Il is reported that William r.
Hearst is the purchaser
Tattershall Castle has been brought
prominently 70 public notice because Of the
attempts which have been made TO save
the famous mantelpieces contained in II
from being taken out OF the country
Major Sir Francis Trippel offered 70 pro-
vide the necessary funds but several Of
the mantelpieces which already had been
taken out Of the building were so badly
broken that the council Of the National
Trust refused the proffered assistance.
Tattershau Castle was erected by Lord
Cromwell, Lord Treasurer TO King Henry
VI, about the years 1856 &c. and has been
described az probably the finest specimen
OF medieval brickwork in the United King
dom. The four frepaces in the castle
are remarkable for their beauty and he
raldic interest and give practically a hts
tory of the owners and builders OF the cas-
tie from the earliest times. II is under
stood that these fireplaces were carefully
studied by Pugin when he designed the
internal decorations of the new Houses OF
Parliament IN London.
