THE MILITIA OF CANADA.

Gevernat Hutton hopes that the militia of Canada will ere long be lifted out of the mire of politics ard planted upon tbe firm

bases of ability and nationality. In the

course of a epeech delivered by him before e Canadian Military Institute, a few days | ago, uf said :

| “Haviog known that I was likely to come here for some length of time, I bave i been watching with greatinterest public 0 bnion oy

We believe that all disinterested men, whether Liberal or Conservative will agree with General Hutton and give their moral to the

support to the measures required

end he has in view.

WILL THEY PREVAIL ?

$$$ $e

THe good elements of tue Liberal party, are striving to maintain Sir Henri Joly de Lotbiniere in the Cabiuet ; for if he should retire it ia more than possible that Mr. Prefontaine willtake his place. What is known as the Mercier wing of the Liberal party in Quebec has been plotting for the change. We are glad to note, that among others the Montreal Witnees, an influen= tial, independent Liberal newspaper, is out-spokenly opposed to it. The Witness says :

“This may not be. The Mercier Govern- ment collapsed through the badness of its fibre, and Canada is not going to stand what Quebec could not. At least, Lib2ral Canada at all events will not doso. We can easily understand Sir Henri Joly de Lotbiniere’s wanting to retire. He came forth from retirement to enter electoral cau: paign on behalf of a party which stood for good government, and contributed largely toa signal victory. He has nobly mantained the banner of rectitude ever

since, and has held the fort against schemers.”

We earnestly hope that the “ Mercier wing ” will not be successful in this re» gard, and that Sir Henri will continue to ** hold the fort.” Tarte bas too much influence already. If he be relieved of the check afforded by Sir Henri and if he backed up in the Cabinet by Prefontaine our politics will be etill further degraded and the country will certainly suffer loss.

MR. FORGET’S PROMOTION.

Tue extraordinary promotion of Mr. Forget from the civil service of Canada to the Governorship of the North West Territories is the cause of much comment. It is stated that Mr. Forget, while Indian Commissioner, was an active and offensive partisan of Mr. Sifton. It is said that he “ arranged for the rewarding of partisans with fat Indian contracts and vacated Government offices to make room for old politiciars, notably for Nolin and Lepine. The Winnipeg Telegram mentions an awkward mistake he made in connection with the Saskatchewan election. ‘There were two Liberals in the field for the nomination—Davis and McPhail. Mr. Forget, the Indian Commissioner, wae

ordered north to buy Davis off. By mis- take he went to a Mr. Davis who is‘a Con» servative, and the entire business came out. Another paper remarks that the Government at the beginning of its career was busily engaged dismissing civil ser- vants whom it alleged had had been dab~ bling in politics: now it rewards political activity on the part of an official by giv - ing the offender a Governorship.”

—The Montreal] Witness remarks that “it is notable, perhaps even significant, that officers who have commanded the Canadian militia, and who bave had to retire on ac- count of friction with the political side~pu!l of the machine at Ottawa, have invariably been promoted to positions of great trust and responsibility on their return to Eng- lacd. General Gascoigne is no exception to what appears to be the rule. He has been appointed to the command of the troups in China, the point where danger of arupture appears most imminent. It is possibly an advantage to the Canadian Militia Department that feilure to satisfy it is no bar to immediate and very iminent promotion. It is like the laet page of a novel to have General Gascoigne passing

through Canada to take & position of first class imperial responsibility.”

MR. COURTENAY'’S OPINION.

United States Will Continue to Hold Cuba and the Philippines.

Lonpox, Oct 21.—The Right Hon. Leonard Henry Courtenay, former deputy speaker of the house of commons and now unionist member of parliament for the Bodmin division of Cornwall, speaking at Tideford, Cornwall, last evening, said that

one of the consequences of the war with Spain upon | ihe American {people had been to

create a spirit which mustin the near fu- ture lead to a great transformation of American character and policy.

“ Instead of beinga self-contained, in- dustrious, peaceful and non-aggressive people” said Mr Courtenay, “the Ameri- cans, if they take sovereigaty 1) Cuba, will have to keep a large naval and mili- tary force in order to make the influence of the United States felt. Altbough the American) members of the — peace commission have declared that the United States do want Cuba or the Philippines, the history of our own country has shown that when once there was an occupation, the intention to leave after disorder has been rignted has seldom been put into execution. The war em- phasizes the necessity of the peace pro- posals of the Czar. It there had been an orgavized tribunal to settle international quarrels the Hispano-American conflict might have been averted even afler passion had been aroueed by the Maine disaster.”

The Anglo-American Alliance.

Queenstown. Oct 21—The steamship Majestic, with the Hon. Joseph Chamber lain on board,arrived on the 18th. Ina epeech to the passengers, he said tbat an Anglo- American alliance was a matter to be settled in the near future. He returned to England, he said, with that objectin mind, firmly believing that such an alli- ance will be consummated.

—Referringto « letter published by rue EXAMINER yesterday coveceraoing the firm of Warburton & McKinnon, itis needless to tay thatthe retention of the name of a retired partner is perfectly legitimate and is of common occurence and no one 18 misled on that account. We regret the insertion ofa letter containing any such inference

—It will have been remerked that the latest trade returns show a failing off of Canadian exports and an increase of Cana- dian imports. This ie not a satisfactory showing. The explanation of the redaced

/ exports given by the Montreal Gazette is

that “there has been a decrease in the demand from Europe for breadetuffs and both the quantity taken and the price is lower than a year ago.” We have no doubt that this istrue. But what, about the increase of imports? It seems to us that Canadian importers and consumers ought to be careful thie year.
