BEKNABD. WILMINGTON, N. G. Monday Eventng, AmiL 2, 1883. EVENING EDITION. TflTE GKB.4T PttOSPEBITY OF THE OANADAS. But few of our readers are aware of the very remarkable progress that has been made in the great country lying North of the United States and forming a part of the vast British Empire, about which the greatest orator of New England and one of the greatest of Americans has spoken in such felicitous and eloquent terms. Said Daniel Webster, very finely, as he remembered the reveille he heard ; jf ! once at Quebec, in one of his grand orations, in referring to the great- lf . nflsu nf TTInorl'infl urlirkan rru70i" 5r- . cled the earth, that it "has dotted the surface of the whole globe with her possessions and military posts; whose morning drum-beat, following the sun and keeping company with 'the hours, circles the earth with one continuous and unbroken strain of the martial airs of England." We confess that the growth of what is now known as the "New Dominion" has been a surprise to us. We had" not studied the statistics with care enough or else we would not have remained ignorant of the fact that although our .own county has grown with-such rapidity1 the progress has not been equal to that of the Queen's "Dominion." In 1790 the popula tion of tbe United States was 4,000, 000. In 1880 it was 50,000,000 an increase oT 12 times in ninety yars In 1790 the population of British North America was 250,000; in 1880 it was 4,500,000 an increase of 18 .times in less than a century. The prospect is that it will continue to l .grow with very great rapidity since rf i the vast, western section is beincr rlji opened up, and there are the best of r?i"Tfesons for expecting unusual devel-l.i-' ""Ippments in the next decade. f JtK There is no probability that Cana- da will be united to the American t Republic within a century, if at all. -There is some prospect that before a .quarter of a century the Canadian people will foe resolving to set up for ' themselves. There is some indica- , tion .now of a srrowincr sDirit - of Independence, but there are but f " 'few Canadians who desire an union h - with, this country. Blackwood ' says ' ;that towards the end of the century K,, the Dominion will have some 10,000, lOVboO of people and that then "Cana- f. -s? :-tG2,ns may aspire to a higher position Timong communities." That is to i - Ssay,-they may ask for their inder ljf -i.ijendence. It is safe to say, that the "--sentiment of nationality is deepen- itfgpnd a great Power will yet f -;arisWin the regions north of our J "-own; vast-country. -'?;pBtus.,glance briefly at a few of ; ' the mlosimpressrve facts connected ' -Irl with the' Dominion, as we gather them from a. long discussion in Black- '-ywoodi, i FiraVthen, look at the ship- ' ping ror tne Dominion. It is the W - v - . v ' "" ' . --. fourth maritime State' of r he ;- worlds It has betweewnstt ; an eigbr thousand yesRelil haWng atn nage jt 1 qaa cftfhertvA v.al nnirr-'St $8. 000.000. The tTaiiea -3tatea-Adth their vast population, have but one million tona more. The marine ac tivity is on the increase in the Can- adas. 'They are greatly outstripping their, Amerwap neighho?S says Blackwood, ;,(m a ship-owning, ship sailing people." It thinks that, the time-ifl CQmUlg wha tbis, Jpminion will "obtain the maritine supremacy in the waters of the Western hemi phere." That will be owing to the distructive policy of the Republican party. Since 1 860, the shipping of the tTnited States has declined," aniS . will continue to decline. By the end of the century there will be more , than 90 millions of people in the United States, and if the Canadins are allowed to become supreme on the waters it will be the fault of our Government. The growth of manufaoturea injhe Dominion has been satisfactory to those concerned. Blackwood, a Tory exponent and not in favor of the principle of free trade, admits that if there was free trade between Canada and the United States that; the result "would be praotically o make Cana da one of the States themselves." It says that owing to the high tariff of th!s country the Dominion is driven to the necessity of having "protection in a modified, form." . It thinks there would be a change if the tariff of the United States was to be adjusted to one of revenue. Bat there is considerable development of manufactures and the annual value of exports and imports is 45 million pounds stei-ling thus outstripping Sweden, Norway and Brazil. The Dominion has a large debt created in developing the country, but it is wise enough to leave it to be1 paid by those who shall eojoy the full benefits of the enterprise and pluck of the present generation. Thirty years ago there were but forty miles of railroad in the whole coun try. Now there are 8,000 miles com pleted, with 2,500 in the course of erection. It has double what Nor way and Sweden have; two thousand more miles than Italy has, and half as much as France has. In a few years the Pacific Railway will be an ac complished fact when there will be a continuous, line from Halifax, Nova Scotia, to the Pacific Ocean. The Northwest is a vast region, more than rivalling in extent and productiveness the great Northwest of;ouf own country. It makes bet ter wheat and roots than Iowa or Illi nois. It has as good an educational system as England has. In 1840 there were educational facilities but for one in fifteen of the children; at present the proportion is about the same, as it is in Massachusetts. They have various kinds of societies for the promotion, pf art, literature and science. Theihe are" one or two other points that ought not to be overldok- ed in even a hnrried survey like this,-;! but we must reserve them for a brief supplemental article. "BVTJUEB A(2AIH BOTTLED." , Gov. Ben Butler has a great deal of smartness, self-assertion, boldness and ability. He has given the Mass achusetts plutocrats and ringsters a great deal of trouble. His election was a thorn in their: side and they are only too anxious to get even with him. Since he took charge of the Governor's office he has annoyed the Rads no little. But at last he has been tripped and the old fellow is lying on his back somewhat like a big terrapin and nnless turned over will never get to his feet again. He gave the Legislature a rasping for its bad work and that- body has re plied in very neatMSfcyle by telling him in effect that it is none of his business. It says: " "It is needless to state that; the Legisla ture is a law unto itself, and that its rules, orders, ajid methods of distributing its business among the various committees, and performing it afterward, are. questions which concern itself alone; and arte not properly a subject for criticism by. the Ex ecutive power. A. legislative body worthy of representing a free and enlightened Commonwealth will ever be jealous vt its own prerogatives, and will promptly resent any interference or dictation from all sources whatever.' It also'ridlefairfyidTSen for his ignorance of Roman history, and that too in. spite of the fact that the "Commonwealth at great expense has purchased and furnished an ex tensive library, conveniently, located, next door to ftre :Govirner,s private room, which might be interpreted as a quiet intimation that she will ac cept no excuse for mistakes and er rors of . iraofc ra' ''rfcter Jdiillthe. part of those who are from time to time called upon to fill her highest office." ! i . comb&t 'Brit he ii nb? t Med; He will bide his time, and in some way.

Petersburg Index- Appeal, Bern. The Wilmington Star is dis cussing the ruinous result of the credit system to newspapers. It seems hard to impress a very plain proposition on many journalists: that they cannot pay cash . for. all their sunDlies. credit their anhAnrirtAr fnr an indefinite time, lose-third of their I subscriptions, and make money by this slip-shod' pTan of conducting : business. Any one ' who really wishes to support a, newspaper can pay for it as he pays for every other article he uses, but the man who sub scribes for a paper simply to .add his name to .the iist of patrons, does the publisher real harm and takes from him a legitimate profit oh paying subscribers. If ever newspaper pub lishing becomes profitable in the South, those papers who demand pay ment in advance will be the bene ficiarie8. Norfolk Zadqer. " A MODEL LOVE LETTER.
