VARIOUS CANADIAN VIEWS. How the President's Retaliatory Proclama- tion Strikes the Dominion Press. The Canadians are in a state of mind. Prowident Harrison's retaliatory proclazaation | has touched a sore spot with them. ‘The expressions of the Canadian press differ. ‘The Empire says: “The spirit in which the Present action is taken is certainly an unfriendly one, and will not tend to increase cordiality of feeling between the two countries. We doubt whether public opinion in Canada will approve of any further concession in this maiter in order to secure an amicable arrangement with e@conntry h seems to have as little regard for international comity as for solemn treaty ta. ‘There will be n tendency to think that the government ought, in « dignitied manner, to hold on to the course they hav nounced, even if ther have for the bal the season to make some arrangement to reim- Durse the Canadian shippers who have entered into contracts which this ‘retaliation’ will dis- arrange, rather than yield to the suggestion now made.” The World (conservative) says: “The Presi- dent of the United States has, at the order of Congress, closed the Suult Ste.

Thank God, national honor is a term still to be found in the Canadian dictionary. This canal question wil! settle itself in time as other questions have Deen settled, but one lasting effect of it will be that it played its share in teaching the Cana- diene thas they could live without the United States.
