( Although this patriotic action did not wholly escape the effort to stir up race1 and party strife, yet. in the main thei thing was exceedingly well-done. There is ‘ one unpleasant feature, which, while it null have a regrettable effect thmughout the whole Dominion is felt with. especial keennese in this town and county. Col. Hughes, while a member of 'the contin- gent hae gone “in a special capacity” in- stead of senior major according to the decision of the go'vernment at the time he i left for Quebec. This “special capacity” la interpreted to mean that he is to take the command in an Imperial regiment upon reaching the seat of war. While this position will, in itself, be superior to ‘ any in the Canadian contingent, yet we are quite certain it was a bitter disap- pointment to Col. Hughes that he was not attached to the Canadian boys in whom he has taken such an interest and of whom he is so proud. sea. turn I While it is not pessibie to escape regret that such is the case, it is no easier to avoid resentment 'at its cause; and that at this particular time resentment must be felt toward no other than the British commander-io-chief of the Canadian forces is cause for sorrow indeed. General Hutton has stubbornly and 4 successfully objected tovthe government’s - appointment of Col. Hughes on the con- tingent. The irritating thing about it is ‘ that he did so from purely personal ‘ spleen. The Glnbe which is in a position v to know, says in explanation : _ “ General Hutton declines to for‘ give Col. Hughes for having written a letter severely critizing the action of himself in respect to recruiting for the Transvaal." This brief and ill constructed sentence 3does not throw much light on the subject but what it says, and that no more is said, makes it. ciear. at least, that the colonel of the 45th battalion was rejected wholly because of the dislike of his superior officer. No question of his qualification was raised and the fact that the Minister of Militia and the cabinet heartily approv- ed of Col. Hughes' appointment is proof enough that he possesses in a high de- , gree the qualities required in a position [of command. The common explanation’ of Mr. Hutton’s dislike is that Col. Hughes, forecasting earlier than anyone else, the need of Canadian assistance in‘ the Transvaal sent an offer of help direct to Mr. Chamberlain. Construing this action into a slight on himself, Mr. Hutton has taken the first opportunity of vengeance. The Canadian people will hardly place so mac's i‘mporteoze 3;; Wk. Hutton’s feel- ings as he evrdently does himself; nor will awe if his dignity, not love for, Bri- tish representatives in Canada deter them from emphatically resenting this bit of official snobbery. Whether Col. Hughes' action was a vio‘ation of any military l code we do not know. We think him too i competent a military man for it to be :ikely. If it was,no penalties of this sort were in order. for it will not do to forget that the entire movement to send troops was without precedent and wholly irregular item a c natitutional standpoint. it was a case in which an outburst of ‘ loyal sentiment overleaped the bounds of ‘ usuage. A prople who went to the aid i 03 the Motherland in spite of rules, will nor tameiy see a favorite cflicer who urged them to that devotion wantonly sacrificed because his method did not i suit the code,of Mr. Hutton. Considering the interest that Col. Hughes has always displayed in the Can- adian militia and the splendid activity and enthusiasm with which he originated and fostered this movement for colonial aid, this refusal to let him have a place on the contingent because of a petty spite, is a rebuff to patriOtic feeling and action that it will be wise for the British gov- ernment to see does not occur too often. Like abolt from the blue have come: tidings of a disaster to the British forces in South Africa. Two of the Imperial regiments and a mountain battery have been captured by the Boers. British homes are in desolation through the numbers that doubtless went to death before surrender. The account of pea- sants, artisans and noblemen jostling each other before the bulletins of the dead recalls to mind some of ancient Rome’s disasters. Dismay seems to have seized the English people. Tidings of the Empire never l‘efore stirred such profound regret in Canadian minds. In the presence of this disaster thel people will reflect. They will ask its cause and whether it is worth the price. 11’; to this time it has been considered a crime to proponnd such questions. We do not know that they have ever been seriously discussed in the town. The‘ pulpit which still rebukes the vices of the ‘ multitude, but too readily utters the voice of its fade and clamor, has, taken all for granted and blessed the carnage in the name ‘5 Gad. Discussion on the street has been drowned by exclamatione of ioye'ny Even before the war broke mix a couple of sentences in these 001- umns on the ASSESS between the disput- aets, brought us sundry instructors in politics and patriotism, A rous- ing sentiment of 8°°§‘3m_-,F°Wdzd the" Bon voyage, God speed, bafe re- Bitter Reflection Empire has dominated the public. We share it and rejoice in it, but that senti- ment towards the Empire will do 3 mon- strous evil if it destroys ‘the judgment by which we weigh the acts of the men in whose hands the destinies of the Empire lie. Loyalty to one's nation often compels criticism of its rulers' policy. As we take our way through time. as part of Great Britain, our pro- testatlons of loyalty will be of far let's service than' calm reason and sound judgment. The might of the Empire is based on the intelligence of its subjects. Fanatlcism whether religious. political or national is an extremely dangerous thing. After Majuba Hill, the British people questioned the wisdom of the Gladstone ministry: after Ladysmith the number of the same people who will ask an explana- tion of Mr. Chamberlain’s policy will be largely increased. One reason why we questioned thewisdom of this war before it broke out was because we had in mind ‘ the possibility of its terrible price; just lsuoh a price as has been paid at Lady. smith and such as may easily ' enough involve our own citizen soldiers in the slaughter. To escape future self-can“ demuation we should have our minds made up that its cause is worth its total possible price. Is it? We shall not decide; but offer a few observations on ‘the issue itself. The war is in behalf of the Outlanders, mainly British subjects who live in the Dutch Republic, pay taxes but are not. naturalized citizens and are not allowed to vote. To obtain the franchise for these people, England has gone to war. The assumption in the mind of every Canadian must be that she has done wisely and well. Though. assuming as much we cannot escare the wish that the Outlanders had made some effort to obtain the franchise for themselves. They are two to one of the Boats, and, ;if they have real grievances and the true British mettle. they surely would have struck some lusty blows for freedom before asking the Motherland so far away to do it for them. If is said they are not allowed to have arms. Even so; the men of British blood have heretofore seized pickaxe, scythe and mattock and smitten away oppression’s bonds. We should have been glad to see the Out- landers do the same, and they love the Empire less than we do, who can willing- ily see her splendid soldiers slaughtered ' to obtain rights for a people, who them- selves have shed no blood in that behalf. Within the past ten months this paper has been issued from three different offices. At the beginning of the year it was being printed in its old home on William-st. When the Warder was taken over in January the machinery 'was all placed in that ofiice. Since the last issue, the entire plant has been removed to new quarters on Kent'st, and this issue was printed at that stand. Our paper has up to this time been at a disadvantage through unsuitable (.1uarters The former Watchman of tice was much too small for comfort and effective work. Since our amalga- mation with The Warder and the re- mox al of all the plant to that stand we} have been under the difncultv Oil operating between two offices, for it was thought wise to keep that on Wiliiam-st. open for the transaction ot business and the literary work of the paper. As may be imagined this was very unhandy and resulted in a serious loss of time in journeys to and fro. Now these difficulties are at an end, for in our new building there is ample room, and it will contain both the mechanical and business offices. The former is already complete and the latter will be ready for occupation be- fore another issue reaches our readers We cannot leave the old stand with- out recollecting the great kindness we have received from our subscribers and friends during the years in which we have endeavored to build up a newspaper in this town and county.‘ In many respects our highest hopes have been realized, and wherein they have not, it has been through _no fault of the people of the district. Through all that time we were conscious of many and serious imperfections in our paper. Someo these we have been able to remove from time to time. LOthers that arose mainly from our lack of commodious quarters have remained; but in future they will be corrected. It shall still be our aim to steadily improve the Watchman- Warder along the lines already adopt- ed, and along new ones that may commend themselves to us as being in the interests of our subscribers. These have become so numerousâ€"Jot they .are now nearly 5,cooâ€"that we have felthimpelled' to introduce greater variety into our columns, and with that in- view, recently enlarged the paper andv'Shall‘bot cease bur endeavor fto Our New Home 4-WARDER: LINDSAY, minister to every class of the com- munity.
