BEALL, THE JEWELLER, . Lindsay. THE UANUGK FRITZ. With Comments on the Hughesiad He Quoted and Other Things. (From the New York Sun.) Same correSpondence between Gen. Hutton, late in command of the Britâ€" is‘i forces in Canada, and Col. Sam Hughes, M. P. for Victoria in Ontario, was laid before the Dominion t’arlin- ment last week. 001. Sam Hughes is a wellâ€"known Canadian character, civil and military, a man of'a pleasing fresh- ness of speech, full of' wit- and fire, and utterly careless whether school keeps or not. Red tape makes him wild. ,He found a good deal of' it last year after he had offered to raise a Canadian reg- iment and lead it on active service. Three times by word of' mouth and sev- eral times by stroke of pen did Col. Sam Hughes make that offer to the Minister of' Militia. That gentleman “Wind the honor to be,” etc, and informed the colonel that his proposition had been sent to the War Office by the regular channels. Then Gen. Hutton appears with a memorandum to the Minister: Col. Hughes’ offer speaks well for his military spirit, but “there are many officers with greater experience and equal zeal.” Gen. Hutton has an at- tack of redtapitis; why didn’t. the colonel volunteer regularly ? 'I‘heneef'orth, at Gen. Hutton’s insti- gation, ofiicial martinets keep nagging Col. Sam. He keeps answering that he has been regular, and that he has also communicated with the Imperial authorities across the pond in order to save delay. But what is the use of answering? The whole mighty mind of' military of’ficialdom is focussed upon one question :â€"“ Why does Col. Samuel Hughes, M.P., not volunteer according to the forms? ” Redtapitis rages. So does Col. Sam. “I cannot find in the lows and customs of the Canadian con- stitution," he writes, " any authority tbrany one to question my action in volunteering as a citizen of the British Empire." He has found by experience that official military communications made by his D. O. C. are always pigeon- holcd by’ that f'unctionary. Now, Col. Sam is not a fellow to be‘pigeon-holed. ~Col. Sam Hughes hears that a force consisting of the R. C. I. R. is to be offered to the Imperial Government. Then he breaks loose, irregular, but great. He asserts that some of the , officers of' the R. C. I. R. are suchvrbc- cause they can’t. make. a living at any- thing else. He describes Col. Buchan as having “one dominant characteristic, overwhecning self-conceit.” Col. Sam slnws his own vast modesty by enume- rating some of his qualifications. 5 He has been Well trained, has a fine martial record, 'is a successful athlete, a states- man, a riflemon, a mobilizcr of' secret societies. He gives this interesting specimen of'a poem, 3. Hughesiad, writ- ten to celebrate his glories :â€" I'Inghes, Sam Hughes, the war cry rattles. As rang old Fritz in Europe’s battles. In reply Gen. Hutton tells the Can- uclt Fritz that his letter “ does more credit to your military zeal and anxiety for employment on active service than to yew-judgment as regards the little- ness of things, and your appreciation of those great qualities of' sclf-uflacement and subordination to superiors which are the most admired characteristics of' great soldiers." Gen. f-lntton’s urbane recommendation is like oil poured on fire. Instead of ef'l'ncing himscil', Col. Sam sets out to viliice the War Office, the Horse Guards. the British regulars. and the Churches. the men of war and the men of' peace. It' the Canuck Fritz can wield the sword as well as he does the pen. he deserves his name. The military ‘offiâ€" clals tried to get him to withdraw his letters. They threatened to have him suspended from the command of his battalion. He Would withdraw nothing. .He even accused Gen. Hutton .of‘ mak- ing “laughable and sneering vindictive statements ” about him. For a week or so he stood like 'l‘eneriffe or Atlas. nuremoved. Then the officers of the first Canadian contingent Were to be chosen. Tenerifl'c or Atlas unremoved sank intojelly. He withdrew the let- ters, but made no apology. Gen. Hut- ton regretted to'bc unable to recommend Col. Sam, who had shown his " ignor- ance of' the elements of military discip- line,” for a commission in the services in South Africa. A few days later the colonel did regret and apologized to Gen. Hutton for his letters, l‘ written under great excitement.” The apology was private and not formal, and was notaccepted. Col. Sam sailed for South Africa as a passenger, an independent Canadian contingent of one. In Feb- ruary last Gen. Hutton, who seems to. he an amiable person, recommended the colonel for a captaincy, finding him patriotic and zealous in spite of his genius for insubordination. But. the' colonel writes home that he wouldn’t take the captaincy. He says he has something better. He is assistant inâ€" spector-general, with the rank of' colonel,‘ under Gen. Little. We trust that his superior will not be guilty of insubord- lnation to him. 0.0- _New Zealand. Seven years ago New Zealnnd suffered from a panic similar to our panic of 1893, times wore desperate, business prostrated, people who could get away were leaving, strikes and riots were the order of' the day. much as is the ease in this country now. The ' labor unions took the matter in hand and were for» tnnately led by men of' brains. They elected their wisest, must radical lead- ers to office, the tax hth were changed, excise and tariff duties largely abolished, small property holders - exempted from taxation and large ones more licavilv taxed. To-day that far-away country, while not. a paradise, is the best Country on earth for the laboring classes, and 'rapidly filling up, The state employs. all people who apply for work at $23 00 a day for eight hours, and wealth is in- creasing twice as rapidly as in any country on earth, and there are no strikes, no poverty, no crime. Laboring Men, do you want better conditions? If'you do, you will have to quit your old ptrtics and vote l'or radical men of' your own class. as they did in New Zealand. It will take radâ€" ical measures to make a change. if you will not do that. you can have things no different from what they are. Tariff, up or down, will not. help you ; gol l or silver standards will not nuke the hiss take less profit; no amount of'expansion will make you rich The principle underlying law lllllst ho changed, as it. was changed in New Z-‘aland. making it recognize that all men have a right to a place to work and at some wage below which it must not go. Are you not really for some such forward movement ? Arc yon willing to stand and l»: things no on, and the smears serve. property in- stead of' men ? It. is for you to say.~â€" Appeal to Reason.
