the foot of the soldiers\u2019 and sailors\u2019 monument on Riverside Drive, and as the veterans trudged \u2018by they quickened the stiffening muscles of old age and raiseu their gray neads higher.But the blus lines wavered, old fest shuffled over the roadway, and some of the men who marched behind \"the ragged fl spent iokly strength they fed hy kept their places only with the help of more stalwart comrades.The parade was nearly thres hours in passing, but ali this time the Pre sident stood bare headed in the stand, bowing as the veterans tripped by.He was cheered by the crowds as be drove with his escort from his brother\u2019s residence down town to the reviewing stand.But when the survivors of Gettysb: and Port Hudson swept into t, the President was almost forgotten in the

30\u2014Mr.B.Hal Brown, General Manager of the London & Lencaskire Insurence Company, who bas just returned from London, expressed the opinion that if Englishmen do not soon rally to the support of tariff reform things will go badly for the old land.While thers are, Le says, a great many rich people and no ane questions the fact that there is a tremendous accumulation of wealth, unequalled in any other country except, perhaps, France, the fact remains that the masses are poor, badly fod, badly educated and comparatively inferior to the working classes in Canada, the United States and other protectionist countries throughout the world.Mr.Brown regretted that socïaliem had made such in the motherland, telling of what he saw in Hyde Dark and other places on the let of ay.res of orators preached discontent against governor, 2o- ciety, and law and order.What is worse, be added, some five or mix hundred waggons loaded with school children ore, driven = the different po or a a: every

man\u2019s taxes amounting to an imerease of a hundred thousand, practically putting him out of business.À nu of similar hardshipa were beinr dailv reported as the di result of the Tloyd George budget.What han taken deep ñ public mind of England, said Mr.Brown, and that of the United Kingdom, is the interest in the three great railway lines now built or being built from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean.They now realize the tremendous wheat ares which is trfoutary to these | great transcontinental these great railways mens to - Another thing noticed by Mr.Hal Brown was that Englishmen

astonished to ses Lord Strathodha more active than when last seen in this * city, every moment of the High Commit \u2019s time being occupied with matters of concern, not only to the Dominion, but to the Empire as well.He is really Canada\u2019s grand old man.Mr.Brown was never so proud of Canada as when he began to realize the vast improvement in the fast steamship services between this country and Great Britain.He went over by a fast New York boat and returned by the Megantic be could not but say that the Canadian ships and the Canadian route will in the end win out.TORONTO PAPERS IN

Canada will in time come into line and take a larger view of her re sponsibilities, It is improbable that [either Australisns or Canadians have any idea of the costliness of the undertaking to which they are | now committed if their local navies ; are to be kept efficient.\u201d i Commander Robertson, late R.N,, ,who contributes a chapter on \u201cThe Dominions and local Delence,\u201d ocom- pares the Canadian and Australian schemes very much (lo ihe disadvanmt- age of the former.For instance, he : says :\u2014 \u201cOn the horizon of the future wa may picture a fleet in which are representative sbipe from Australia, New Zenland, perhaps South Al \"rica, and possibly India, as well as from the Old Country\u2014a fleet part: \u201cly Imperial and partly Dominion- \u2018omned, but with one discipline, ome organization, and one flag; a fleet of eight or ten cruising-battleshipe, with their auxiliaries, which would | make periodical visits to the ports of each portion of the Empire represented in its composition.There is no reason why such a fleet might nat come into being during the next four or five years if the Dominions wore willing that it should.\u201d Other writers for the most part treat Canada\u2019s projected flotilla, with contemptuous silence, though one hopes she will endeavor tu work up to the Australian Standard and another warns her that a naval force,

in his retrogression from THE LIBERALS\u2019 POLICY OF ATTACK A MAIN DEFENCE.The unthinking attacks indulged in by the Liberals in power against their opponents out of power is a reversion of the order of debate which has been cunningly devised to throw sand in the people\u2019s eyes.Every parliament, one after the other, brings ite batch of scandals, and in every instance no defence is attempted.The investiga: tor is always made a victim of, columns of abuse vocal and editorial are poured out upon those who would place the mal-administrative acts of sve party in power in the limelight of publie intelligence.And, from this new policy of debate, it is not an infrequent circumstance to find the editors of the \u2018subsidized ones,\u201d making sad havoo of their logic.The other day we spoke of the referendum asked for by the Federal Opposition, in the case of the Navy Bill, as a something that had been denounced and re-denounced in every Liberal drgan from Helifax to Victoria, Even in the abstract, a referendum was looked upon by the said organs as a something that ought to have no place in a constitutional form of govern ment puch as we have in Canada.But out in Manitoba, a section of the active Liberals are beginning to say that a referendum is a necessity at times, specially when it is demanded of the Conservatives in power, as they are in that province; and out there they seem to be bent on making the fact of a justigable refusal of 6 re ferendum on one or two provincial questions in which there is no great diversity of opinion between the people and the Roblin Government, a canvass against that Government, It was hardly necessary for the Winnipeg Telegram to try to educate the Liberal editors as to what a justifiable referendum is as compared wih an unnecessary referendum, They do not need to be so educated.Fvery surety of knowledge must give way before their inconsistency.Sir Wilfrid Laurier may refuse to grant a referendum and it is sll right.But for a wicked Conservative like Premier Roblin to refuse a referendum is an iniquity that cannot be measured by words, For the benefit of the readers of the Chronicle we quote what our contemporary the Telegram says on this subject : \u201cThe relevendum is \u2018a device for se curing & direct vote of the people upon a specific act of policy, Its great advantages lie in its affording an instrument to prod a timid and renc- tionary government into moving forward and in preventing a government from doing something which the people do not wish to see done.In other words, where the government does not correspond with the will of the people the referendum may correct the balance.\u201d And eurely, in the light of these words, no one can say that Sir Wilfrid Laurier would have been guilty of wrong-doing had he granted a re ferendum on the Navy Bill, in order to give the country an opportunity between election times of saying whether or not his government were acting in line with public opinion on the Navy Question.As things, have gone, however, it is hardly worth while referring to the Navy Bill at this late date, save to show how far the policy of reversing the order of debate in landing the Liberal editors into a quagmire of inconsistency.Their de- nuncistions of Consorvatiom to-day are but denunciations of the Liberal course next day.THE NATIVE QUESTION IN SOUTH AFRICA.To-day the eyes of the Empire are turned towards South Africa now celebrating one of the most wonderful political events that ever became history.A certain amount of apprehension as the future of the young Confederation is justifisble; but the fact that the constitution has been agreed to unanimously by both Dutch and English augure well for the solution of the chief problems, the majority of which have seemingly been satisfactorily arranged already.Perhaps the compromise on the native question is the most serious matter.The Cape Colony retains its colored franchise, which may not be abolished save by a two-thirds majority of the total number of both Houses of the Union Parliament sitting together.what is beneficial and of good report, | The North

policy is \u201csegregation,\u201d The Cape Colony, on the other hand, has tried the experiment of the colored franchise, and will not give it up.In view of the sharp division of opinion north and south of the Orange River, the delegates of the Vonvention could not be expected to contrive a novel solution.Recognizing that the native problem is one thing in Natal, another thing in the Transvaal, and quite a different thing in the Cape Colony, the Convention quo and to bequeath the formation of a native policy to the Union Parliament.That Parliament will, it is true, be confined to British subjects of \u201cEuropean descent,\u201d but the phrase will cover the son of a Buropean father and a Bantu mother, and is not likely to be so construed as to debar the son of a mixed marriage from sitting in the Union Parliament provided that he already possesses the voter's qualification in one of the provinces of the Union.By the provision which secures that four Senators should be selected \u2018\u201c\u2018on the ground mainly of their thorough acquaintance with the reasonable in South Africa,\u201d and by the clauses in the schedule which secure to the inhabitants of the native Protectorates their lands and customs whenever the territories should be taken over by the Union from the Imperial Government, the Iramers of the South African Constitution have shown that they are not insensible to the claims of the dark reces.The Dutch obtain the official recognition of their language, the English the security of a liberal franchise and automatic redistribution.By a provision which cannot be repealed save by a two-thirds majority of both Houses of the Union Parliament, it is enacted that \u2018both the English and fhe Dutch languages shall be official languages of the Union.\u201d The South Afrioan Constitution, establishing, as it does, & sovereign national Parliament, has made a clean sweep of the old Colonial Legislatures.In their place it prescribes elected provincial councils, and in each province a standing executive committee elected by the provincial council, with a chairman appointed by the Union Government,, and called the Administrator of the Province.The provinsial Governments are specifically empowered to levy direct taxes, to borrow money with the consent of the Union Government, and to control elementary education for a period of five years, and thereafter unless the Union Government should otherwise provide.We of the sister Dominions will neartily endorse the words of Mr.Balfour, who, speaking in the Commons on the South African Union, said: \u201cWhatever opinions we hold as to the past, everybody looking back at that past will, I am confident, agree with me that this bill, soon I hope to become an Act, is the most wenderful
