Colonial Politics and Professor Joknstm’s Mistake —Canadian Dede of Managing Elections--The Chola, its Inciden!s and Mode of Cure—-Dew partures for the Boston Jubilee.

The past, the present, and the future are each laden. with the laboring thoughts of succesees achieved, o¢ ripening plans, and remote combinations already in the germ. A colonial condition of society is adverse to the growth of a healthy political state, because tho citizens of a dependent power interpret principles of action by the light of the dominant power. It would be a vain affectation of title to call a colonial official a statesman, even though he were prime minister. lediocrity may be @a:tered with the power of naming custom house officers, and re. gulating the postage of letters. Statesmen aspira to loftier cbjects. They inspire a leve of freedoa, andan instinct of nationality. Here there is no scope for such men. The colonist is exeladed fron any interference in the questions of foreign trada sak foreign politics.
