The Boundary Question.
In a communication to the New
York Tribune. Frederick AV. Sew
ard. a son of Secretary Seward who
was largely re*|>onsihlc for the’pur
chase of Alaska from Ru. sia. lias
the following to -ay in regard to
Canada’s elaim that Skngwav and
Dyea ladong to ln-rg
“Iftireat Britain is entitled.to
those liarlairs and towns, the same
line of reasoning would entitle her
to Long Island sound. New York
and Brooklyn ! The fact is that
Canada wants them tarn use she
wants them—there is no other rea
son. Secure in the protection of,
the mother country, she reaches
out, like a spoiled child, to grasp
at everything in sight, and expects
her indulgent parent to bear the
brunt of any struggle about it.
The greed of l his irresponsible de
pendent province, having no dlplo
matic jsilvers or standing, may la
comprehended, but it is amazing
that the public men of England,
her scholars, her statesmen and
governors, should allow themselves
to la.- used as the tail of Canada’s
kite. They are sincerely anxious,
as we are, to maintain that era of
good feeling la-tween the two great
branches of the English speaking
race, so full of promise for the
world’s peace and advancement, j
yet they are letting these provin
cial schemers drag them into a!
dispute that threatens to endanger
that international entente eordialc.
Canada is placing the wedge to
drive the two nations asunder. Sin
plants it at the head of the Lynn
channel.and calls out to Britannia,
“Now, mother, strike hard, and we
will split ’em apart!” (Jreat Britain
may consent and strike hard, but
if sin- does she is opening the way
for another conHct that will "stag
ger humanity.” That the Ameri
can p«ople will ever consent to
surrender their towns and harbors!
to a power that has not a shadow
of right to them is a thing not to
be allowed.”
