CANADA'S LOYALTY.
NATIONALIST INTERPRETATION. OTTAWA, September 10. The decorations in honour of the visit of Sir Wilfrid Lauri-er to Windsor, Ontario, included an Australian flag. The circumstance caused some excitement, people thinking that the Union Jack with the Southern Cross was intended to forecast a new Canadian ensign under American reciprocity, as a mixture of Union Jack and the Stars and Stripes. The explanation that was made was satisfactory. Mr. Bourassa, the leader of the Nationalist party, assured a crowded audience that the creed of the Nationalists was not anti-British, but loyalty to Canada first and loyalty to the Mother Country afterwards. If Canada were attacked, even by France, it would be the duty of all loyal Canadians, whether French or English, to arm themselves. The speech caused a profound impression.
