Periodical developments in the polit- ical affairs of Canada show a perturbed condition suggesting that there must sooner or later be o radical change in the political character and relations of the dominion. An incident of this kind happened last week, when there was introduced in the senate a resolu- tion providing that the dominion gov- ernment and provincial government shall have the right to appoint repre- sentatives to sit in the im- perial parliament. one of whom shall be a member of the British cabinet. The mover of this resolution urged that the time had arrived when Canada must decide whether she was to maintain closer relations with the mother coun- try or join the United States, whose attractions, he said, were alveady a constant menace to the welfare of the dominion and the autonomy of the country. He remarked that there were many people in Great Britain who, prompted by personal interests, would prefer to sec Canada annexed to the United States as calculated to strengthen the security of the invest- ments they beld on this side of the At- lantic, In the debate on the resolution it was pointed out that what it proposed was impracticable, The government leader in the senate said that in order to se: cure representation in the imperial parlinment an amendment of the British constitution would be nccossary. ,The British parlia- ment could mnot invite Cana- dians to sit in their house of commons without changing a fundamental prin- ciple as old as the government. The scheme of imperial federation, tho goy- ernment leader observed, was pleasing in theory, yet he had yet to learn of any practical solution of the question by which the project should be carried out. Doubtless this scheme, for the promotion of which the imperial fed- eration league was formed, is impracticnble. The fact that 1n order to cavry it out a change in the constitution of Great Britain would be necessary, is sufficient to force it out of serious consideration, and there are still other difticulties in the way which it would be nearly as hard to overcome. But if Canada can obtain no closer political relations with the imperial government than those existing, how long will her people be satisfied to re- main in the present situation of depend- The influence that has been most potent in checking the growth of senti- ment in favor either of annexation to the United States or national independ- ence was a popular belief in the practie ability of some plun of imperial federa- tiod —something that would raise Can- ada above the colonial condition and give her people a voice in imperial af- fairs. With the knowledge that this caunot be achieved, and that the best the Canadian people can hope for in their relations with Great Britain is to maintait the colonial federation they now have, the advocates of unnexation and of national independencs will be likely to make headwa) The incident that happened in the senate at Ottawa the other day is therefove signilicant. It indicates a disposition to force the issue that shall determine what is to be the future position of Canada. It has been predicted that within ten years that country will be either a part of the American republic or an independent nation. The conditions are wocking which seem to warrant faith in the at- tainment of one of these results during the present generation. GHE CASE OF IDAHO. The purpose of the minority of the committee on territories of the house to antagonize legslation for the ad- mission of Idaho is prompted wholly by artisan considerations. The pretext for the opposition is that the proposed constitution disfranchises persons with- out giving them an opportunity to be heard in defense aganst offenses charged, but not proved. The posit on of the minority is that it is o fundamental principle of freo government that no person shall be disfranchised for an offenso of which ho has not been duly con- victed. Thero was a time when the party to which the minority of the com- mittee on territories belongs was not so careful regarding the admission of states having large numbers of persons who were disfranchised, although guilty of no offense against moral or statute law. But is the proposed constitution of Idaho ot war with the fundamental principlo of free goverimont? It pro- vides that persons guilty of polyg- amy or bigamy shull not exercise tho right of suffrage. In order that any person, a member of the Mormon church, may, enjoy this ¢ quired that he shall take un oath that he is not guilty of either polygamy or bigamy. This provision the supreme court of the United States has decided is unconstitutional, beca the offenses it takes notice of ave crimes under tho laws of the United States. Polygamists are already disfranchised Ly an uct of congress. Way may they not be by the fundamental law of a new stute? It being granted that polygamy is a crime under our laws, is it not ob- viously the right and the duty of a pe vl among whom it 1s holicved to exist, in framing their constitution, to pro- vide for its suppression or prevention by adequate precautions, one of the most clfective of which is to deprive those who may be guilty of it of the most vital privilege citizen- ship? Is there any whoso constitution aoes contain a disqualifying disfranchis- ing clause? In Nebraska treason or felony under the laws of the state or of the United States works disfranchise- ment, uniess the person is restoved to civil rights. Offeving or receiving bribes for votes and other crimes dis- franchise persons guilty of them in other states. Vet it has never been held that these provisions violated the fundamen- tal prineiple of free government. The objection qf the minority of the house committee on territories to the so-called disfranchising clause of the proposed coustitution of Idaho 18 not sound and cannot be successfully de- lhnlleu. The provision is u proper and of state not or necessary precaution against a practice which the national law, approved by nearly universal publie opinon, con- demns as a crime, repuguaut to the religious sense of the country and hos- tile to the welfare of society. The ob- jection of the minority may serve to delay the admission of Idaho, but will not prevent the legislation necessary for this purpose at the present session. OR FREE SHIP. In one way and another New Ilng- land, the eradleof the protection polic, is showing a remarkabie change of sen- timent regarding that polioy in all its forms. The appeal of the iron manu- facturers of that section for free raw materials, in order to save their indus- try from ultimate ruin, has become fa- miliar to the country. The woolen manufacturers of New England are also asking of congress mate- rial modifications of the tariff schedules in the interest of their business. And now the Boston Ixecu- tive Business association, described ns the first commercial body of that eity, has declared in favor of the free admis- sion of foreign-built ships to American vegistey for ten years. This association, we vead, represents all the leading business associations of Boston, nnd its almost unanimous vote in favor of free ships is therefore justly regurded as ignificant. It is an expression that will hardly fail to cause some consternation among the subsidy advocates, though it will not cause them to abandon their plan for promoting the restoration of the country’s merchant marine Under existing law a foreign-built ship cannot take out an American rogistry, and American owners of such vessels are compelied to sail them under a foreign flag. An instance is cited of a citizen of Massachusetts sailing a ship under the Hawaiian flag, although no resident of Hawaii has a dollar of interest in it. There is a considerable amount of this class of property of American citizens that is not under the protection of their government. This law has been in operation many ycars, and at last these Boston merchants appear to have come to the conclusion that the law having failed to accomplish what was expected of it, the production of a home-built merchant marine, it would be wise to try the effect of an opposite policy for a few years. It is not probable that the preseut cougress can be induced to e this view. There is promise that it provide for the free entry of ship-build- 1ng materials, and if it takes thi siderable departure it is per much as can reasonably be expected. But the action of the Boston associati will not be without influence as show- ing thut in very practical and respect- able quarters, greatly interested in building up a merchdnt marine, there is an opinion that there may be other ways of doing this than by recourse to subsidies, Tue board of trade of Superior has gone to the expense of sending through- out the state printed copies of resolu- tions vecentiy adopted by that body. Tho resolutions oxpross the .opinion that “the intevests of the staté are vastly more concerned in the interstate rate for transportation than the locul rate,” and further, that “the ratesshould not be made so low that the tendency will . be to impede railrond building, believ- ing that by such extension lines will be formea so as to cause such competitioa among railroads that our producing classes wiil be afforded reasonable rates for freight, and cheap and easy access to the competing markets of the world.” The commendable ambition of Superior to become a railroad center has doubt- less inspired this artistic straddle of tho freight rate question. The resolutions possess such a familiar ring that they recall the biennial lamentasions of the corporations. At every session of the legislature the same argument was em- ployed to vrevent legisiation, and threats were made that any serious reg- ulation of the railroads would check the influx of cupital and preveut extensions, But little has been done in Nebraska to check tho greed of corporations, com- pared with the laws vigorously enforceil in Towa, vet ns many wiles of rond have been con 1 in lowa during the pust the as in ‘Nebr The Superior board of trade should rally to the support of the producers of the state. Their friendship is more to be prized than the temnorary favors of tho corporations. DEMOCRATIC opposition to the admis- sion of Idaho is based chiefly on the test oath clause of the constitution adopted at Boise City. This is a trans- parent mask for the political reasons in the back ground. The constitution- ality of the test oath having been af- firmed by the supreme court, leaves no honorable ground for opposing the just demands of tho - people for statehood. The test oath dees not ‘neccesarily disfranchise the twenty- five thousand members of the Mormon church in the tervitory. It wevely requires of them, as a condition precedent to the exercise of ecit veuship, to make oath that they are not ‘“‘members of any order, organization or association which teaches, udvises or counsels” polygamy or bigumy, o any other crime defined by luw, uf hop Budge of Tdaho voices the seutiment of the Mormon church, polygamy has been abandoned, and the members can not be denied the right to vote on proving this to the sat- uska. isfuction of the court. Fortunately the wmajority in congress is not in a mood to cement the alliance of the democrats and the Mormons. Tho latter must swear allogiance to the constitution to be entitled to the privileges' of Ameri- can citizenship, A of uncommen intercst has just been rendered by the interstate commerce commission aflecting the rates on shipments of less than ear load lows, To the small dealer the ruling wiil bring relief from railroad exac- tious, It will put him in position to cope with the larger dealers vho are fuvored ut his expense.

The peonlo of Colorado are clamering for the removal of these Indians to a reservation set aside for them in Utah, and there is a disposition on the part of the aborigines to accept the condition. But the gov ernment is moving slowly and thero is a iikelihood that the Indians may not go atall, The Indian Rights associa- tion opposes the removal on the ground that such a proceeding is & breagh of faith on the part of the autho s at Washington, and that the new tract is no place to try the oxperiment of ciy- ilizing the Indians. The association has been supplomented in its protest by asyndicate of cattlo barons who own oxtonsive ranges adjoining the Utah reserve and who object to having their industry ruined by the neighborhood of sewi-civilized savages. To satisfy the people of Colorado hungry to get posses- sion of one of the finest agricultural strips in the state and keep faith with the [ndians is a diplomatic task worthy ef a Bismarck, Tue brilliancy of the change from the sickly flicker of gas to electrie lights in the business section of the city would be greatly enhanced were it not for the extortionate prices charged by the company. With the cxception of Denver, Omaha pays a greater price per lamp thaw any city from which the figures have leen obtaived. St. Jo- seph pays seventy-tvo dollars per year per lamp; St. Louis , seventy-five: New O ns, one hundred and twenty-five: Cleveland one hundred and thivty-nine; Detroit, oune Dbundred and forty; Buffalo, one hundred and fifty- five; Milwaukce, one hundred and fifty; Pittsburg. one hundred and five, and Kansas City one ‘hundred and forty-four dollars. The price charged in Omaha is oné'hundred and seventy- five dollars per yoar, or twenty dollars more than the highest price paid in any of the cities named. There is no reason why Omaha should pay twenty- six dollars more than Kausas City or twice as much ag St. Loui. THe opening of spring navigation on the great lakes has a broad significance to Omaha and Nebraska. Although the water route of luke Superior is five hundred miles distant, it is hiely to oporate from uow until the closo of navigation as a club over the heads of the Chicago roads in f freight rates from Omaha to the board.

To meet this competition the Chicago roads will be obliged to make a rate cqually as low.
