S. dition of affairs at tl epreaeul momenta we quote from tliu Loudon Spectator as follows : " We are obliged to write m we never dreamed of beiiiK fortpd to write about « country only Ie<ts dear to as than our own. Hut we should f»il in uur public duty if we did not point out in the stroiigeHt luuniier the urave risks which are likely to entiuv froui this attitude. Unless the United StateH at>.sumH a very ditftreut toae, tlie gravest crisis is cer- tain t» ensue. Public opinion in Eiiy land haH greatly chanucd during thu last fuw mouths, and even if Lurd Salisbury is anxious to iunore politely 8ui;h ind'; - creiions as Sucrtttary Sherman's, thu pooplu would not permit it, and here- after, American dciniinds, if urued in unfriendly laniiua'ie, will be resisted uii iminiously by the nation, no miitter what the risk may be. If Aiuopita d les not keep u better watch over her pnriticians, they will hurry her into a conflict with this country whereof tm one is able to see the end." Tile better class of papers in liig- laud, Canada and the United States li'cat present discussing tbe possibility of war between Great Btitaiu and (iLe United States. Some time ago Gliauncey Depew made the public Statement that war was bound to oomo batween these two countries within the next filty years. Since khat statement was mado thinking men have been studying the question closely and have come to the cou- alusiou that there is only too much danger that tbe prophecy will be ful- filled long before the tifty years have passed. England has looked upon ike United States with motherly affection for years past and her states- man have scorned tbe idea of any serions complications with her, owing to closeness of kinship and financial considerations. If genuine Americans only were to be dealt with this logic would answer, but wc fear siifBcicnt weight is not attached to the large foreign element cf the United States. The attitude of the Ariucricaii govern- ment in their subserviency to this foreign element for the past few years shows the importance which they at- tach to it in the governing aflaiis of the country. This foreign eleniciil, fcoj, is intensely hostile to Britain and British institutions, and herein the danger lies. War does not always depend upon a governnu'ut'p actions. Ucan bo drawn upon a couutiy in same eases by the hot headed action of a few evildispuued men, and that beyond the power of recall. A governinent may go to bed with eveiy- tliing calm and peaceful and awake in the mainiug to iinJ tbe people at da^'gci'S drawn. Such things have been. The recent Sheiman inuidoiil lias opened the eyt'S of Engluiul us she never expected them to bo opened. Shu has been slioping in the past ii: blissful ignoranco of thu iniulily uudeiCMironl which has been llowiiig on and gaining headway in Ameiiuan politics ; listening to the sootliiiig assuranuo of the wi^e men that "blood is thicker than water, "and no^^ obsutv- ing for herself that the blood is itself mostly water. The Youth's Coiiipan- i on of Bo.itun deplores tliii fact that "'there is Imvdij a ncwppaper in tiie world which fails to put an unfavoi- nhle interpretation upon tlio conduct of the United States." This being the case there must bo a good solid i"cason for it. Tho newspapers of llie world are no hugu coaibine to crush Wio republic. They are each and every ('iin an independent entity and they read h«r character by her con- duct, for " actions speak louder than words." Her lepiuliaiions of treatieH, liur biaggaJocioand her Hhcrinaniauiil shoutings have given the press of tlie ^vorld good cause to put an unfavor- able interpretati on upon her actious, acid .she has nothing to grumble at. Should those peculiarities conl.iiuio and land the United States into a war of annhilation tho rcniuar.t would sttill persist that it was a martyr, and allowing to a miscoiicaption by the world ut largo of its aims and actions. Aji Au «vid*uoe of .(he serious cou- It was thought that the days of the duel in Europe were drawing to a close, but the recent battle between Princa Henry of Orleans and the Italian Count of Turin hos once more placed it on its feet as the favorite amusement of gentlemen when ihey feel their honor touched. In this country we believe we have the better method. Wo " touch " our malig- ner's pocketbook to the extent of a good round some for damages. And the peculiarity of our method is that it has a more deterrent effect than the letting of blood. Forestry in Ontario Notice ?

W. 8. BISHOP Kimberley, Aug. IS, 1897. The Bureau of Furestry of Oiitnrio lias juat issued its annual report, wliich pre- Heiits u clear view of existing conditions in the province as regards thu forests and the timber supply, as wull us iiuiuh prn.t- tical iiifurnmtion for fariiitrs on tree- plantiiit; and preservation. The report details the considerations which led to tho np|M'iiitiiK'nt i>f tho Forestry Coiii- luisbioii, which is now at work iuveHiii^at- iiig the question of replanting the waste land.t with '.iiiil>er. It |>oiiits out that Ihd problem hiiH uiittred upcn a new phase, since expeiieiice and olmcrvation have conclusively proved that t^ie pine forests which aru so iiiipurlant a source of our provincial wealih will lopruduce themselves in perpetiiily, provideil only that tho rav.nges of tiro can bo proventad. The impruiision wliiiih has so long aud i>o widely prevailed that the pine when cleared away will neccRsarily be succeed- ed by Woods of an inferior character, has beeu proved incorrect.
