It is not a hasty\nopinion, expressed lightly, but formed\nafter months of reflection, with a full\nknowledge of all the circumstances\nand conditions by which it could be\naffected, aud expressed with the deliberation and sense of responsility we\nwould naturally expect in one of the\nchief advisers of Her Majesty at a time\nof very grave crisis. Who can doubt\nthat this momentous issue is now\npending? Tbe Mother Country is engaged in a struggle iu South Alrica on\nwhich the fate of her Colonial Empire\nlargely depends. Afrikander success\nwould mean the beginning of Colonial\ndisintegration. It is not the Boers\nalone. If they were the only enemy\nto reckon with the tremendous preparations tha* are being made would\nnot be necessary, nor would there be\nthe least apprehension of the result.\nActual war may not be waged outside\nof South Africa,but tbe fight is against\nthe old European enemies as well as\nthe Boers. If blows be not struck elsewhere, it will be because the British\nnation has seen the danger from the\nbeginning and is propared to oope\nwith it.\nEngland and Europe are rife with\nrumors. From Paris comes word\nthut Russia is preparing to take advantage of the occasion to make anoth\ner advance on Western Afghanistan,\nin her unquenchable desire to force a\nsouthern outlet aud to threaten British\nsupremacy in the Indian Ocean. It\nmay be that with Frenchmen the wish\nis father to the thought j but it is a\nposs'iliihtv that hns always to be reckoned with, and one that grows with\nits opportnnites. Fiom Vienna is the\nrumor that the same Power, with the\naid of France, is about to obtain a naval station from Spain, and it is stated\nthat movements are on foot to enable\nthe Russian squadron on the Black Sea\nand the French Mediterranean fleet to\njoin at the Dardanelles with the greatest possiblo dispatch. These rumors\naro causing uneasiness, and although\nthere may be no demonstrations of the\nkind it. is quite understood that Great\nBritian is making her preparations in\nanticipation of theso and all other possible eventualities. To neglect them\nwould be to invite aggression, and if\nshe comes through this trouble with\nthe Boers without any open manifestation of enmity from France and Bus-\nsia it will bo because those Powers\nhave ooncluded that the opportunity\nis not ripe.\nYet it is in the face of these threatening dangers the Premier of Canada\ncould interpose legal and constitutional\ndifficulties to prevent tho dispatch of a\nCanadian contingent; in the face of\nsuch a grave situation his Prenoh-Can-\nadian colleague, Mr. Tarte,by personol\niudueuco and through bis paper, did\neverything in his power to defeat the\npurpose of loyal Canadians to go to the\naid of the Mother Country to defend\nthe integrity of the Empire. As a protest against this demonstration of loyalty a favored aud cherished supporter\nof the Premier, Mr. Bourassn, resigned\nhis soot in the House, justifying his\ncouise hy the following :\n\"The principle nt stake is an axiom\npar excellence of British Liberalism.\nIt is the very basis of Parliamentary\ninstitutions. Tho sacrifice of human\nblood is the heaviest of all public contributions. The question to be decid\ned is whether the Canadian people\nshall bo called upon to take part in all\nmatters of the Empire without the\ndoors of the Imperial Parliament nnd\nCabinet being opened to thorn, without even being consulted through their\nrepresentatives and their Government\non tbe advisability of those blood\ncontests 'I he question is whethor\nCanada is ready to give up her prerog\native ,.s a constitutional Colony, free\nJoin nf hor Parliament, tho compact\nentered into with the Motherland after\nseventy-five years of struggle, in or\nder to go back to the primary state of\na Crown Colony.

English speaking\nCanadians know there is no question\nand cm be no question of sacrificing\nonr rights; of abandoning the least prerogative wliich we possess as a self-\ngoverning Colony.
