Under the above heading the Turonto Star bas the following article showing wuff the obtuseness or worse of Englishâ€" men when they write or talk of Canada. Were their ignorance of Canada nout so common it might be amusing, but it beâ€" comes exasperating‘ where intelligent men and leading papers still show crass stupidity in dealing with things Canaâ€" Guide books and Times‘ correspondâ€" ents even seem determined to give a grotesque view ot Canada, and, as was expected, twice the attention and space was giyen in old country papers to the Indian Powâ€"wow with the Duke and Duchess thar was meted out to far more important eyents. It is safe to say the average English reader will read and remember last the speeches of their * red brother " to the " Pale face" prince, and think that a good stroke of imperial policy bas heen made by havyâ€" iog the friendly powâ€"wow !. It is a positive duty of leading Canaâ€" dian Statesmen to try to remedy this state of affairs. Sir Wilfrd Laurier, Lord Strathcona and all who have the Imperial ear shouid insist, as a necessity of Imperial good feeling that Englishâ€" men should learn that Canada‘s true claims to importance lies in her fields, her mines, her fisheries, and the selfâ€" reliant character of her people. Din inâ€" to their ears that London is further north than Montreal, that Toronto is on the same latitude as Rome, that part of Canada is on the same parallels as Spain, and that fruits ripen here to perâ€" fection that the English climate forbids. try to remove the gruesome idca of Canada that exists ; to speak (as the Toronto Star pointed out also) of * our developed and developing resources ve and not always of " vast undeveloped resources " as if a plough had never been inserted or an axe applied to a. tree. A song common in the old land %) years ago tells of a man who applred for a commission, but " When a commission he had got He proved to be a coward, He would‘nt go to Canada For fear he‘d be devoured." This is the idea thousands of Englishâ€" men have of our country. and which should be dispelled, if a healthy Imperâ€" ial feeling is to exist. It rouses the ire of Canadians to see such ignorance of Gen. Brock as the Star‘s article shows. Read it: It behovyes also every one who corâ€" responds with friends in the old land to "And so Sir Isaac Brock is bhut a loca 1| hero, famed in Canadian song and story but holding no place in Bricish tradiâ€" tious, We have heard it so stated, and we see it in the publieation by the Lonâ€" don Times of a despatch from its corâ€" respondent travelling with the Royal party in which reference is made to Brock as a man who fell in the Fenian raids. If the Times doesn‘t know that for three quarters of a century Brock has been the hero of Upper Canada as the man who saved the colony to the to the Empire in the war of 181214, making prodigiouns use of his handful of armed but undrilled colonialsâ€"if the Times doesn‘t knowthat Sir Isaac Brock, Wolfe and Nelson in the order named ware the most admired British heroes in this part of the world, what does the Thuuderer know about Canada. If the Times would publish the story of Brock at length in its columas and send marked copies to all British ofâ€" ficers now playing golf and polo in South Africa and waiumg for the Boers to die of old age, it would be the most useful service the Times could do the Empiwes. Brock was an English officer of good family, but when he went to war he roughed it made straight fight evere minute and accomplished tbig The London Times corresponudgGent seems to have been the typical Englishâ€" man abrcad, as nobody else could traverse Carada, stanud beside Brock‘s monument, and yet fail to learn who he was. We are told that the English correspondents, although travelling in the same special car across Canada with some of the leading journalists of the country, than whom men better posted could nowhere be found, followâ€" ed their national instinet and got their information about thecountry by reading Badaecker‘s Guide to Canada as the train sped day after day across the continent. Badarecker, you see, is an accepted English authority, and being so, one cannot go far wrong in relying upon it, aon‘t you know. Therefore if Canada wants to be known,. let her square herself with the guideâ€"book people." war he roughed it every minute . an things. â€"Two years ago from Friday last was the date of the commencement of the Boer War, and sane men are inâ€" elined to think it may last two years yet. â€"Canadian â€" Clydesdales captured every prize at Baffalo. â€"‘The revenue for the three months preceding Sep. 30, was $13,548,519, a sum $790,437 larger than the same three months of 1900. The expendiâ€" ture for the same period was $5,465, 3341 less than the revenue. This bueyâ€" out state of affairs is certainly a happy one and good strides should be made in reducing our indebteduess. THEY DON‘t KNOW BROCK.
