The Ominega Miner has the largest bona fide circulation of any newspaper in the
Northern Interior’ of British Columbia.

A saying of Hon. R, L. Borden is being widely quoted. It is
to the effect that as the British people everywhere acknowledge one
King only, the time must soon come when they will meet as equals
in the councils of the Sovereign in respect to matters bearing upon
the relation of the Empire to other Powers, This is in line with
Viscount Milner's happy phrase in which he described the ideal
constitution of tne Empire as ‘‘a partnership between equals.”
Mr. Borden has not suggested any plan whereby this equality in
counsel can be brought about, and in this we think he showed a
wise discretion, says the Colonist. The development of British
institutions has never been spasmodic, They have “‘slowly broad-
ened down from precedent to pr ecedent, *? Tt has heen said hy a
careful student of Canadian history that sixty years ago there
were only about ‘four men in public life in Great Britain who be-
lieved that Canada would remain within the Empire if allowed to
make her own tariffs, They were Elgin, Grey, Russell and one
other whose name has slipped our memory. We are accustomed
in these days to think that the “little Englanders’? were confined
to extreme radicals; but asa matter of fact nearly every public
man, Whig or Tory, Liberal or Radical, were beginning to speak in
the ‘‘strain to shame us,” which Tennyson in his stirring poem so
strongly eondemned as unworthy of the nation; which ‘‘the roar
of Hougomont left mightiest under Heaven.” We have passed
that stage. Then an imperial partnership seemed impossible: now
it is in the thought of everyone. ‘But a movement of this kind
eannot be hastened. We must wait patiently for the processes
of time. Thirty years, or from 1848 to 1878, were required to
develop Canadian fiseal autonomy; we cannot hope to develop a
system of joint imperial responsibility, which is a far more difficult
thing, in a few years, Mr. Borden has done useful work in direct-
ing the attention of the British people te what must be the eon-
summation of imperial unification, and at this stage the question
may well be left for the present.

present are 10,100 cavalry and
18,060 infantry, with 3200 field
artillery. About 3000 more caval-

The National Guard or organized
militia consists of about 119,000
officers and men, about three-
fourths of which could actually be
placed in the field for service.
The nation has always relied on

some training would be necessary
before any could take the field,

but as has been pointed out the
trouble in undertaking any opera-

do when it is taken. The United
States can blockade the Mexican

ence and possibly it will call on
the navy first if it tries to coerce
Mexico and merely keep the
army to prevent the Mexieans
raiding United States territory.
Blockades are, however, ticklish

complications arise yery easily.
The United States might take
possession of the coast cities
and the customs and avoid
any advance into the interi-

such action. would be very effect-
tive, If intervention comes, it
seems inevitably to. lead eventu-
ally to annexation and by that all
Central America may be. roused
against the domination of the
United States.
