ton whether it might not be advantageous'y
abandoned and replaced by union with the
American Republic. Thus the annexationists,
though apparently few in numbers, have an
advantage they never had before-they are able
70 get hearing from the Canadian public.
On this side of the border there is only Ian
guild interest in the subject. Most people take
it for granted that the Canadian provinces VIII
at some time not very far distant want to JON
the Union but there is very little disposition to
sean the future to see if possible how near at
hand that time is likely to be, and no desire to
use any influence, even of the kindest persua-
sion, to hasten what is regarded as the steady
and inevitable movement OF Canadian opinion
toward annexation. OF one thing the friends of
union in the Provinces may be assured, how
ever-in this country there is not thought to be
any serious practical obstacle in the way OF the
change The Canadian debt, if not as great per
capita of the population as that of the United
States, is fully as burdensOme. A consolidation
of the two debts would work no great injustice
to either party The tariff system oil cur
neighbor could be assimilated with our own
without much friction, both being based upon
the principle of protection. Some difficulty
wards Island and Newfoundland, neither oil
which has population enough for State out
spirit of mutu al concession would overcome TINS
trouble. Prince Edwards Island, which has
ONLY $4,000 inhabitants, might be joined to
New Brunswick, and Newfoundland, with her
ITO 600 inhabitants, might be conceded sepa-
rate State existence, because OF her Isolated
insular position and her possibilities oil future
growth. If this plan were adopted we should
have from the Canadian domains five States
Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, New-Brunswick
Quebec and Ontario; and two Territories, certain
soon to become Statcs-Manitoba and British
Columbia
The present forms of local governpeht
in the several provinces would not need
to be greatly modified. They are already re-
publican in spirit and method, except so far as
the executive Office is concerned, which is now
app ,ihtive, and part of the patronage OF The
Dominion Cabinet. The present restrictions
upon the suffrage are slight, and are such as sny
of our States can make without infringing
upon the Constitution of the United STATES.
When the Provinces want to become Statf OF
the American Union they will find no bdsfier
in their way either in the public sen tlmeig OF
this country or in their own forms of govern
mental action.

4 CHANGE IN CANADIAN OPINION.

A notable change has come about of late in
the tone of the Canadian press upon the annexa-
ton question. Not long ago the idea of posi-
bic future union with the United States vas
secuted as preposterous, and the Canadian who
had the temerity to advance such proposition
ran the risk of being denounced as traitor in
the Dominion camp. Now the question is
treated, if not with friendliness, with the add
mission at least that it is one upon which there
can be honest and patriotic differences of
opinion. The advocates of union are allowed
an opportunity to present their arguments.
They need ask nothing better The romantic
glitter of the Provincial Federation scheme has
vanished, and the late attempt to burnish it up
and give it fresh lustre by the aid of royal
Princess and Vice Regal court has produced
only deeper discomfort and more pronounced
republican sentiment. The etiquette Of Wind
sol Castle was found to be quite out of place at
Ottawa, in community of farmers, lumbermen
and small traders, and had to be abandoned !;
and the Princess Louise returned to England
with poor opinion, it is said, of her mothers
Canadian subjects. Among the most intelligent
classes of the country there is widespread dis
satisfaction with the results of the Dominion
experiment and growing disposition is mani
tested to welcome fair discussion of the Ques-

America and her institutions are held among
the British people
One of the curiosities of Tuesdays results Is
the large Temperance vote in Wisconsin Inc
Prohibition party in that State in past years
has been of little Importance. In 1879 IL gave
candidate for Governor less than 4Oo votes'
and last year the Temperance and scattering
votes together were less than 1,7O0. 1his year
the party has taken sudden growth, ana mas
poled a large vote much greater IMAM tilose vi
the ground expected. A competent authority
on Monday estimated it at lO,0Oo, ana eN-
pressed fears lest it might defeat General kusk,
the Republican candidate for Governor. 1t
actually reached $4,000, and yet General Rusk
has pulled through in Spite also, of bad roads
and severe weather. No doubt this is an of
year diversion, and before another Presiden-
tial election Wisconsin will have settled down
to its normal Republicanism.
The loss of the New York Assembly is not
perhaps, matter of great Importance. 1t may
even have the good effect of showing Republic
cans throughout the State that they cannot win
elections by staying at home. The loss OF the
Senate is more serious matter. The body
lives tlIOuSu thO years, van P""" "IN'. 49,
Governors nominations during that time, ana
even if Congress should not pass an Apportlon-
ment bill in time to allow the present Legisla-
ture to redistrict the State, the new Senate VIII
take part in that work in 1888. The saving OF
any one of the ten districts which have been
lost would have tied the Senate, and gwen the
casting vote to the Republican Lieutenant
Governor. That none of them was saved seems
due to three causes-Republican apathy, weak
Republican nominations, and Democratic
bribery The hundred thousand dollars plainly
did its work in the ten districts. The indiher-
ence displayed by Republicans both III this city
and in the interior was phenomenal. The fall
ing oft in the vote from the registration eX-
ceeded all past records. Two districts IN this
city were thrown away by nominations which
were resented by many Republicans. The
With District, in which Mr.. Strahan's noml-
nation two years ago reduced the Republicans
to pitiful plurality of thirty, and in which Mr..
Gibbs's nomination caused the election even OF
an unpopular and unfit Democrat, would have
been surely Republican with respectable can
didate. and would have saved the Senate. The
With District might have been carried Also
The same is true of one or two districts outside
of New-York. If the result teaches Republl-
can managers that the Republican party can
never afford to make a poor nomination, the
lesson will be valuable.

Mississippi has been made reasonably solid,
after all. The later dispatches indicate that
the Democratic managers are getting ready to
close the polls, or rather to stop the counting.
They estimate the Democratic majority at
$4,000 or 10000. Still, this long descent
from the $4,000 of last year, and is another
sign of Bourbon weakening in the South.
The selection of State capital is a matter
of painful interest to several millions of school
children, if the time-honored process of
ymemorizng the abiding-places of Governors
still goes on. Colorado, which has used Denver
as a temporary capital, without, however,
erecting State buildings, has voted to make
it the permanent capital, and viii now probably
proceed to adorn it, after the MANNER Of
States with choice specimens of half-baked
Greco American architecture.
Prince Bismarck, through his semi-ofiicial
organ, warns the members of the new Reich
stag that they must allow the Government to
have its own way or he will order new cleo
lions. He is evidently more firmly convinced
than ever that it is by no means the business
bf a government to conform itself to the viii
of legislature which should rather be q
Hocile instrument In its hands. How an i'm
mediate dissolution would put the "impracti-
liable machine" in gear is not very clear. The
Germans are not prone to submit to govern
mental coercion.

Tobacco Smoke.

DR.. lie Bon continues his researches
regarding the products Of tobacco.
The new alkaloid found in tobacco
smoke with other aromatic principles
and prussic acid as well as nicotine) IL
liquid of very agreeable and penetrat-
ing odor, and as poisonous as nicotine,
the twentieth part of a drop suflicing
to paTalyze and kill a frog. 1t is the
prussic acid and the various aromatic
principles that cause headache, giddi-
ness, and nauSea in smoking certain
tobaccos that contain a little nicotine.
Other tObaccOs, rich in nicotine, have
no such effects. The tObaccos cotain-
ing most prussic acid and collidine are
those of Havana and the Levant. The
dark, semi-liquid matter which conden-
ses in pipes and cigar-holders contains
all the substances mentioned, rs Well
as carbonate of ammonia, tarTy and col
Oring matter, etc, 1t is very poisonous.
Two or three drops Of it will kill a
small animal. The combustion of the
tobacco destroys but a small portion of
the nicotine, and most Of this appears
in the smoke. The proportion absorb
ed by smokers varies according to cir
cumstances, but hardly EVER falls below
fifty centigrammes for every one hun
dred grammes Of tobacco burned.
AboIt the same quantity of ammonia is
absorbed at the same time. Natural
ly, more of the poisonous principles are
absorbed when the smoke is breathed,
as in a room less in the open air. A
frog placed in a receiver containing "a
solution of nicotine, with about q drop
of that substance to a little water, sue
cumbs in a few hours. Tobacco smoke
contains about eight mililitres of car
bonic oxide per one hundred gIammes
of tobacco burned. The poisonous
properties of tobacco smoke are not
due to this gas, as has been maintain
ed in Germany.
