THOSE DELEGATES !

The London Standard. one of tho leading organs of the present Ministry. reviews Mr. Hows’s pamphlet on “ the organisation of the Empire“ in a most approving spirit. It commences by saying—

“The policy of England towards her colonies is be- coming every day a question of greater importance, not for the Colonies on y. but for England. Unha pily there is but too much disposition on the part 0 our English politicians either to sbirk the problem alto ther or to undervalue the rest and serious issues w ich it involves. In this care esaness or ignorance our politi- cibns reflect but too fsithfull the tone of the. average British intelligence on the subject of the Columns. '1' 0 great 'British public. who are agitated by every breath of a new rumor respecting annexations In lie glam, m Rhineland. or in Galicia. seem slow to apprehend that it is one mighty and infallible resource in the future agninst the overgrowth of En land‘s rivals' that it is master of a territory of infinite y greater value than that which any continental power can possibly acquire in Europe; that it has a field of expansion. cons and to which the largest annexations ever dreamt of n tho most extrava— gant Villonl of French. or Prussian. or Muscovito con- quell sre paltry and insignificant."

The Confederates told us nearly two years ago that at that time a most miraculous awakening of British public attention to Colonial slain had taken place. and that Confederation was discussed everywhere. was under- stood everywhere. and was beenin approved of by the Sovereign. by both the greet political parties in Parlia- ment. by the press. and by the whole British public.— The London Standard now says, as we said long ago. that. this was all untrue.

Alter captioning the opinion that the policy of Eng- land towards her Colonies should be changed, and that. instead of preparing to cut them adrift. she should ra-' ther organise the empire in some way that would mske the strength and resourcw of all the parts available for the defence of all. the Standard states Mr. Ilowc‘s views briefly. and then says-—

“As to the scheme of admitting the self—governing Colonies to the Imperial rcpt usentation. there is much to be said in favor of its principle. yet we foresee runny practical obstacles in the way of its realization. The plan has been discussed at various times during the last thirty or forty years. and was once or twrce brought forward by the late Mr. Home in the House of l‘om- mous. “ but Mr. llowc proposes Ia. tlut each Colony should send one, two. or three members of its Cabinet. according to its size and importance, to sit in the House of Commons. He argues very justly that not only on Colonial. hat on general for ' questions. thooo Colonial members would have a right to veto. been“ the Colonies are proportionally as much interested—we might even any more interested—la questions of poses an war as the mother country is. As to the advantage to the Imperial Government of having these Colonial delegates to consult on the spot. there can be no ques- tion that it would be very great. ‘ A win i‘le night‘s dis- cussion in the House of Commons.' Mr. owe proper- I says. ‘ with the New Zealsnd Minister there. would

0 more for the see and order at the Colony than a week’s debate without him.‘ "

The Standard sees difficulties in the way. however, and the partisans of the present Government in this Province will no doubt be surprised to learn what it ro~ prda as the chief difficulty. It says—

“ Tho diflculty is simply how to provide these capable Colonial representatives. The colonists themselves. we fear. would not value. so much so Mr. llowe seems to do. the privilege of being re resented by one of their Cabinet Ministers in the I nose of Commons. And there would be this objection to the plan. that the Cabinet Minister would probabl be a more political partisan. Cabinet Ministers. um er universal sum-a e. are not usually good specimens of the people 0 a Colony; and we are afraid that it would not do much cod. either to the Colony or to the empire. to intro- uco into the House of Commons some of the tlemen who are honored with the confidence of a Co onisl ms- jority."

Unfortunately for the reputation of the Province. and particularly of the party who now appear to be the ma- jorlty. our Cabinet Ministers and Delegates. who have been Cabinet Ministers. have been several months in England, and the Imperial Ministers. to show respect to the Colony. have been compelled to entertain them. and they have in many ways been for the time men of mark. And after they have thus become known to the losdcr» of English public opinion. the Standard. judging us all from those who appear to be our representative men. says—-

“ We are afraid that it would not do much good. either to the Colony or to the Em ire. to introduce into the lieuse of Commons some of t e gentlemen who are honored with the confidence of a Colonial majority.”

And for all the money our six delegates have wasted. the return the people so far have received is. to have the character of the Province ac deeply disgraced. What can the twelve. or the majority of them. have been doing to justify apeb bitter censure? Could they not be con- tent to enjoy themselves in eating and swilling the " best roast beef and other delicacies. solid and liquid.” nod try to act in other respects and look like gentlemen and men of character and worth? Surely they must havo been guilty of something more than misconduct to pro- voke such an expression of opinion from the grave. sedsto and cautious organ of the Government. It is too bad that we should pay so extravagame to be so disgraced; that we should keep six Delegates so many months In London, at our espouse. to prove to the Eng- lilll people that it " would not do much good. either to the Colony or to the Empire. to introduce such men into the Ilcuae of Commons. We thought the Province had suffered enough for the folly. simplicity and credo- lity of its people; but “ in the lowest depths there is deeper still.“ May we hope that we shall not sink yet. lower in the eyes of the world.—-St. John Freesmn.

CONFEDERATION IN ENGLAND.

The London Daily News of Oct. 9th. aflor quoting some of the conflicting statements that come from the Provinces. ssys :—

" When so wide s difference of opinion exists in the colonies. what can we in England do? What but, desparing of settling the quoatipn by a competi- son of authorities, attempt to examine its points for ourselves? Against this, howeVor. an im orient

LJournal of Upper Canada protests. The oronto

lGlobe, in the article we published yesterday. remind us of the welcome which we gave to Confederation when it was first discussed. and when it seemed is be the almost unanimous wish of tho colonists, and laments that we have so entirely abandoned our for- mer views. In truth, we have abandosod nothing but the too ready confidence which we gave to co- loniai authority. and we cannot consent to fore the advantage of the instruction to be derived from the discussions and experience of two years. All we ask is that the facts and arguments on both sides shall be deliberle examined. and an independent judgment be iormod by the Imperial Legislature. This is not what the politicians of Canada would like. They would prefer to form their combinations at Quebec or Ottawa. got them endorsed by Lord Monck and then have then carried through the In is! Legislature on the recommendation oi the Co‘ onial office. If Confederation were u more domestic ar- rangement. alleciing only the relation of the Provin- ces to one another. this would be areasonable appli- cation. But it is sulhciently clear from the manner in which the question is discussed in Cunada that. whatever else Confederation may be, it is a device for establishing a yet firmer hold on the Imperial Trc isury. “ A glance at the map shows that of the provinces which it is proposed to unite in n confederation one group is easily defensible, while another. and the much larger portion, occupies a military position. which is probeny the weakest in the world. Whether Cansde is sbsolutoly incapable of defence. as some military authorities hsve affirmed, we need not consider; We have only to regard tho question as one betivoen that country and the Lower Provin- ces. Canada is alien. nothing more, She has no back country. no interior, and nature hos ordained that she never shall hove one. It is the ambition of her politicians to melts this line even longer and weaker. But Canada is separated from the nearest of the Lower Provinces by a wilderness. What is to be gained by uniting provinces olitically, which are severed by nature and interest; Is it believed that the troops of Novn Scotin sod New Brunei. iek would be available for the defence of Canada if it were attacked ? They could not be so. It is ridiculous to suppose that their local regiments, raised for the defence of small populations, could be token swsy in time of war to defend Cunadian cities. Every men of them would he wanted at home, every man of them would feel that his duty was to the load of his birth. and not to u distant and barely accessible country to which he is bound by no real tics. There does not exist the British gsnernl who would take the responsibility of ordering New Brunswick regiments to Toronto in time of war or invasion. Wo do not discuss the other alternative—tho defence of the Lower Provinces with the assistance of troops from Cecelia—because we have no reason to believe that such a notion hns ever entered the head of any human bciug. We fail to discover a single point in which the Provinces would be rendered stronger for mili- tary defence by Confederation.
