The Louden Mail comes to hand «ith an article in Canada which con- centrates the attention. It ix writ: ten by one who is not known (0 the Whig. He may be a staff correspon dant out on w special commission and with instruction to Wiite of things as he finds them. The theme in the posi: tion of Canada towards the empire of which it forms a part. . Canada he pictures as a young na tion, active, buoyant, virile, inde péndenty with a spirit which cannot be curbed, with ambitions which the peo- pleof the old land must regard and | respect. He points out that the clos. er relations of this eolony to the motherland is the issue of the hour, and that upon it wmy depend the' fu ture of the country as a great British { dependency. ' Metaphorically the cor respondent takes his readers for a trip deross the line, and over a wide stretch of land now in the United | States. This was formerly - Biiih | territory. Then on goes back to Can- | ada, and contemplates the fact "that it is British still and may' remain so. Much depends upon the developriients of the near future. Canada has given evidence of her loyalty to the old land, and she Kas depreciated and ignored the flirtations of Uncle Bam. What may follow ? It is a great thought. Incidentally the tarill will play a great part in its consideration. The pity is, therefore, that Mr. Chambetlain did not viit Canada be- fore he set out upon his great educa: ional campaign, that he did not hate some personal study of Canadian af fairs and Canadian public opinion. It may be said that he has the advice of Canadians now or lately in Eng inand, but there is no education so good as that which is diwect and per- sonal. The London Mail's article makes one regrot that Mr. Chamber: luin has not a first knowledge of what this country is and wants. LIVES OF GREAT MEN, "It is nine years age since Honore Mercier died.
