Suppose, and we are sure that it is possible only in supposition, sup- pose that the Globe should succeed in so discrediting Mr. Chamberlain that his mission should prove a fail- ure. \V'hose will be the loss ? Un- doubtedly Canada's. The Globe at \Ve are forced to the conclusion that the Globe is 11‘1qu anxious to secure party votes than it is to se- cure national prosperity. “'e are compelled to believe that in the opinion of the Globe it is of much greater moment to please Canadian Home Rulers with a view of captur- ing their support at the polls, than to secure a settlement of the Flsh- cry Question favorable to Canada. But we tell the Globe that it is over- leaping the mark. Canadians will not fail soon to perceive that the frenzied violence with which it as- saults Mr. Chamberlain must prove highly detrimental to their own in- terests. We yield not to any in the desire to see the affairs of the Do. minion managed by the Reform party. But to us the triumph of that party is synonymous with the prosperity 01 the land. and we view with abhorrence any step to put the Reform party in power. if such step is likely to be fOIIOWed by national disaster. Such is not the opinion oftlie To- ronto Globe. That Journal has day after day teemed Wltll the most vin- dictive abuse of Mr. Chamberlain. Instead of endeavoring to assuage the anger that Irish Americans would be likely to feel on account of Mr.Chamberla1n's ofi'ensive remarks, the Globe has steadily done all in Its power to increase 1t. Notwith- standing that Mr. Gladstone himself has expressed the greatest anxiety for Mr. Chamberlain‘s success in the negotiations soon to be begun, notwithstanding that Mr. Gladstone himself has declared Mr. Chamber- lain to be eminently fitted both by experience and ability to conduct safely those negottations, the Globe while pretending to commend Mr: Gladstone‘s attitude, continues to do its utmost to make Mr. Cham- berlain a victim 01 what at the most was but an indiscretion. It would seem that the difficulties inherent in Mr. Chamberlain’s mis- sion to the United States are to be doubled and trebled both by himself and his enemies. Belore leaving England, Mr. Chamberlain was gurlty of making a speech that, to say the least, was indiscreet. For in that speech he made a reference to the supporters of Home Rule on this side of the Atlantic, and also a relerence to Commercial Union. \Vc were well aware that aught Mr. Chamberlain might say on Home Rule would certainly prove distaste- ful to the advocates of that scheme. And we have now to deplore that in an unguarded moment he alluded to that subject when he did. We do not quarrel with Mr. Chamberlain on the truth or error of what he said_ \K'e cannot, however, but think the time singularly inopportune for the utterance. He should have realized to the full that as Great Britain's commissioner on a grav: matter of international dispute he was bound to refrain lrom even the appearance l of anything that might prejudice i Americans or any part of them a- gainst himself. To invite attacks on himself was to jeopardize the vast interests confided to him. But the deed is done, and it would ill- become Canadians to augment in the slightest an evil that can work greater woe to none than themselves. LIVHMOND HILL. Thursday, Nov. 3. ‘87 i5biié;Jos.

DEAR SIR.â€"The question at dealing wile you and your friends with regard to the short line between the station and Richmch Hill Village. is not yet; dispos~ eu of. I am going to England for about six weeks, and I hope on my return we shall be able to give a. decided answer as to our co-operatlun in the undertaking in any one or other of the forms discussed. Yours truly, SAM’L BARKER. NEW YORK, Oct. 213:, 1887. T. H. REDDH‘T, Esq, W'e have been requested to pubâ€" lish the following letter in order to satisfy as far as possible the curiosâ€" ity ofthose who feel an interest in the proposed Junction railroad. If those that haVe charge 01 the scheme have not yet done as much as was expected, it will be scen that the fault does not lie at their door. For ourselves, we do no more that. give expression to reasonable hope when we say that we still consider the construction of the short line as quite within the probable :- we trust that Mr. Chamberlain may prove one of the instruments in bringing about an honorable and equitable settlement of the Fishery Question. We are con- vinced that the people of the United States will allow no considerations of toreign politics to influence them in their decisions on a subject fraught with so much importance to the two great branches of the Anglo- Saxon family. And we repeat that to allow the deslre of a partizan victory to interfere inimically with Canada’s rights and Canada's ad. vantage is the part of the vilest, of the most contemptible, of the most unpatriotic selfishness. As to Mr. Chamberlain's views on Commercial Union, We think that he is wrong. Yet Mr. Chamberlain but gave expression, when he de- clared that Commercial Union would certainly be followed by an- nexation. to what many Canadians believe. \Ve are not ot that opin- ion, yet far be it from us to fly at the throat of those who difl‘er from us. \Ve have always held that the tear ofannexation would prove the great obstacle to Commercial Union- While we have conter‘ded, and still contend, that that {earls groundless, yet were we persuaded that such a danger does really impend, we should at once pronounce against the scheme. most will have succeeded in gratify- ing the deep antipathy that the friends of Home Rule in Canada teel towards Mr. Chamberlain, but it will not have succeeded in alien- ating their votes from the party to which they may here owe allegi- ance. To sympathize with Home Rule is not to be unpatnotic to Can- ada, and should it ever appear that devotion to Home Rule in Ireland has a tendency to promote disloyalty to Canada, every genuine Canadian will at once repudiate all sympathy with it.
