If there was one homegenesus cnmmand over the Marines stretching round the China seas under one general er one admiral, you would secure for the Empire a very efficient service, far more economical than the present one, and one which would especially meet the requirements of our colonial service.

Every argu- ment that can be used in favour of a German or of an Australian confederacy, applies with double force to the Dominion's admittance into the United States. Except in two particulars, the gain would be immense. There would re no further need for an English nobleman to preside at Quawa, nor would sociely be agitated on each 24th day of May by the birthday honours ferring on certain citizens the right to append certain letters of the alphabet in their names. As the years went by, however, it is highly pro- bable that the Canadians would gradually come round

This, surely, should be sufficient to satisfy any ordinary ambition. In the nature of things there is no reason why a President on the Potomac over 8o or go millions of free citizens should not hold his head as high as a Premier on the St. Lawrence over one twentieth that number of subjects. To us, looking at the matter from 'an entirely unbiassed standpoint, it appears mar- vellous how the Dominion continues to look across the Atlantic for bogus sympathy and indifferent support, while at its doors is a great kindred people prepared to give genuine sym- pathy and real support for the asking. It merely shows how men are the slaves of custom, and how, like the Jews of old, a nation may become so habituned to dependence that the very thought of striking out for itself or of walking alone sends shiver through the whole community.

The American case appears to be that in buy ing the Russians out of Alaska they also bought all the rights formerly enjoyed by the Muscovites, Among these rights is that of the ownership, all the seals in that remote pertion of the Pacific Ocean. The British and seemingly, other nations deny that the Russians could dispose of the sole right of seal-killing because they never held it. Thus the matter stands-the Yankees saying "If your people come into our sen to steal our seals we shall capture and confiscate their vessels," to which M. Bull replies, "It's no more your ta than mine or any other nation. You cannot pur- chose a slice of the open ocean and call it yours as if it were a piece of land. The open sea in. the world's highway, and your jurisdiction over HONGKONG It extends to only a few miles from the shere. If you capture my vessels and sell them, I shall feet hound to do the same by your," To be brief, the American argument is that what is known as Behring Sea is in reality but a narrow strip of water belonging to the land, as much as the Gulf of California, while the British aver that it is nothing of the kind. It is for the purpose of proving which is the correct view to fake of the case that men are said to be now actively employed in both countries getting ready ships and shot, boarding-pikes, cntlasses, machine-guns, conical shell, torpedoes, rockets, and the various methods employed by men for convincing others of the truth.
And now it remains but to speculate on the probable resalt of a conflict between the small European Island and the large American Con finent. The loss of Canada, if that could be called a loss which would really be a gain to the Dominion itself, would be inevrable, with the surrender, of the Northern province all land cities, would probably cease, and hostilities be operations, except the bombardment of seaboard
