Republicans in Disguise.
St. Loais Republican.

1t is to DO hoped that the eyes Of
Democratic Greenbsckers in this state
will be opened to the real object OF
the nationsl greenback movement by
the recent conduct of Weaver in Indi-
ana. Weaver projected himself into
the contest in that state about two
weeks before the election. 1t might
be supposed that he went there to
urge the Indiana greenbacker TO ssup-
port their own candidate for governor;
but he did not. The greenback vote
in the state shows great falling of;
indeed, it amounts 10 next to nothing
and the explanation Of the fact given
by Indiana Democrats is that Weaver
turned his party over to the Republi-
cans. This fact accounts for the largo
gain made by the Republicans in Vigo
and other counties where the green
hackers were unusually strong

Distressing Accident.

The Chippewa CountyNews says: zone
of the sadest of accidents occurred at
the farm of Mr.. John Shelton, on the
Mackinaw road, about six miles from
Sault Ste. Marie, week before last. He
and his wife were cleaning up wheat at
their barn. Their only child, a little
girl of about four years accompanied
them. 1t being rather cold, the child
was carried to the house to warm. As
the wheat was stored in the house, and
the father went there frequently to get
a bag to run through the mill, the little
girl was left alone for short time. On
returning for bag of wheat the father
found the room where he had left the
child full of smoke, and Immediately
after the poor little unfortunate with
her clothing burned entirely from her.
1t is supposed that her clothing took fire
from the stove that was burning briskly
in the room, and so effectually did the
flames do their cruel work that the little
one survived the accident only an hour.
The afflicted parents will have the SYM
pathy of the entire community in this
the darkest hour of their existence"

Opening of the Skating Rink.

The managers of the skating rink an
nounce grand opening next Monday
night. The ice will be in splendid con-
ditiOn, and the cOrnet band will be in
attendance to enliven the occasion with
some of their choice music. The price
of season tickets has been fixed at $500
for gentlemen, $500 for ladies, and $3.50
for children under IL years of age. GEN
eral admission. 10 cent for adults, and
10 cents for children. Arrangements
can be made for special rates for fami-
lies by applying to the manager. After
the opening night all children under IL
years of age will be excluded from the
rink after six P. NJ. In connection with
the opening night grand dance will be
given at the Spencer House. The MEM
bers of the band have been
to considerable expense in building
the rink, and have provided as good a
one as can be found in many older and
larger places, and our citizens should
appreciate their enterprise and bestOw
upon them a liberal patronage. The
prices charged are very reasonable
and within the reach of most everybody,
and should enable them to dispose a
large number of season tickets. Turn
out everybody at the opening next Mon
day evening.

The Maine MIDDLE

The Supreme Court having decided in
favor of the Republican legislature they
proceeded at once to the election of a
governor and the organization of a State
government. The result was the cleo
tiOn of Daniel F. Davis, the Republican
candidate. The Republicans have pos
session of the State House and hold their
regular sessions, both houses having a
quorum. Some of the fusionist are ac-
quiescing in the decision of the court
and are acting with the Republicans.
The main body. however, are still hold
ing out and going through the farce of
holding sessions. The first of the week
they were held in the open air, near the
State House, with the President of the
Senate and speaker of the House, rOOst-
ing on fence. They have since secured
Union Hall where they now play Legisla-
ture, and keep up show of opposition
to the inevitable. The indications are
that the fusiOnists are weakening and il
is thought that they will soon gracefully
give in and submit. Some of the more
aggressive are for continuing the fight
and making an effort to bring the matter
before Congress hoping that their Demo-
cratic and Greenback friends, being in
a majority, will help them out of their
troubles, Their case is bad one, how
ever, and we do not believe they could
ind sufficient number of partisan
friends in Congress who wOnld sus'
ain them i'm their effort to steal tn,
tate government. to do them any good.

with General Grant, when in Chicago
recently, to visit this state. 1t is stated
that the reception under the auspices OF
that association will probably take place
sometime in May, at Kalamazoo, on the
generals return from his trip south and
about the time of his contemplated visit
to Milwaukee. A general invitation is to
be extended to the citizens of the state
to participate in the reception.

The Annexation Question.

Considerable agitation is being created
among our Canadian neighbOrs upon the
question of annexation with the United
States, or cutting loose from the British
lion and establishing an Independent
government. The question is being dis
cussed i'm various clubs existing in
the provinces, most notably among those
composed of the French clement of the
population. 1t is well known fact that
the French people have but little love
for the British government. having sew
eral grudges which they are nursing
carefully, and patiently waiting for an
opportunity to get even. In view of the
statement, that has been made, that the
French population of the provinces are
increasing far more rapidly than does
the English portion, and of the we'll
known antagOnism of the French to the
English, it does seem that there might
be more i'm this discussion than casual
thinker would suppose.
In 1865 there were $1,000 French in
Canada. In 1877 there were 100000,
and they are still increasing. The
English natives do not increase in any
thing like the same proportion, aud the
number that come to Canada from Brit
ain do not compensate the numbers that
flock out of the Dominion to this country.
Looking at it in this light it would seem
that it was only question of time as
to when the French element would be
i'm the ascendancy, and when this is
reached we think there can be no ques-
ton about change being made, whether
it will be an Independent government or
annexation with this country time alone
will tell.
