The Canadian people seem to be in
a quandary between independence
and annexation. Some of the most
eminent Canadians speak very plainly
on the subject, notably Sir John A.
Mcdonald, who says that if any sepa.
ration is to take place. he is for annex
alton. He says that Canada must
either belong to the American system
or to the British system. He calls
attention to the fact that the four and
a half millions Of Canada lie along.
side of the fifty-ive millions of Amer.
leans, and that the most unhappy posi-.
ton in which a nation can be placed, the
most destructive to its prosperity, the
the most crushing to its energies and
its intellect, is that of living next
door to, and at he sufferance Of,
a powerful neighbor. He calls
attention to the position which small
nations in Europe occupy-Belgium,
trembling for fear France will take
her, and Holland in fear of Germany.
He says, looking ct the question of in
dependence, that if he had to make q
choice between independence and
annexation, he would prefer to have
annexation, and join with the United
States at once, than to remain de-
pendent nation, obliged to raise
the phantom of an army and navy,
obliged to have foreign ambassadors at
an enormous expense, and after
brief existence, to be absorbed rs
Texas and California were absorbed
and as Mexico will, in time, be alb
sorbed.
In other words, the star of
empire having proceeded west
ward to some where near
the limit, it is natural that the pro-
gress Of the western world turn north
ward. The imperial policy was not
such success as it was expected to
be. Canada's situation is such that
English rule can do her no kind of
good, but may do her much harm.
In the event of a war in which Eng
land is engaged, Canada is at the
mercy of any enemy who will take
The trouble to sail to her shores.
When the cloud of war rose between
Russia and Great Britain, ships of
war flying the Russian flag were at
hand ready to blockade the ports of
Canada. Nothing is gained by the
with Great Britain. and
he interference of the home govern
nent with the affairs of the Dominion
an work no kind of good on account
# the peculiar situation of Canada |
md her distance from the shores of
England.

no doubt drawa crowd for awhile.
But she will learn that beauty sooner
or later must have along with il a
commodity Of brains in order to secure
lasting success. Besides, if beauty
alone could make stage success, the
English lady would fail for the rea,
son that the beauty Of the ballroom.
the fete, the state dinner, is not the
beauty Of the stage. The women that
show best OF the boards are all the
better for being right commonplace
of the stage, but, what with paint,
powder, eyebrow-stuf and false hair.
they easily transform themselves into
the beauties of the mimic scene, car
rying themselves ut that distance
from the audience which lends en-
ehsntment to the view. Mrs. Lang
try has considerable beauty, no doubt,
though We have never had the felicity
of gazing ON her celebrated features.
But If she is to succeed as An actress,
little brain will go so far ahead of
beauty that the latter will be lost in
the dim distance. Adelaide Nelson
was beautiful, but she had brains in
abundance. Mrs. Scott-Siddons is
beautiful, hut the geuius of the KEN
bles runs through her veins.

Senator Browns SWallOW.Tail

Ser nator Joseph E. Brown of Georgia, is the
wealthiest man In his state. He is a man of
marked ability, but is plain and practical, and
not at all given to frills and things. He dresses
smcothly-shaved upper lip and long white beard
add to his clerical appearance. In his native
cline Senate Brown always wore his Sunday
clothes on all important social occasions, as
well as to church. Until he came to wash
tr gton be never cOllded with the social require
Dt nfs OF a dress suit. And 1t was only about
a week ego that he purchased one His col
stop wearing his frock coat out to dinners aud
swell affairs, and must get swallOw-tail coat.
Senator Brown protested against it on general
grounds, but particularly because the cloth nut
into dress coats was so thin. He suffers with
heavy colds on the chest, and said he was not
going toIun any risks just for the sake OF Singing
little style. Senator Hill finally got promise
from his colleague that he would get a full
dress suit. and have 1t ready one evening last
week, when both were to attend a swell din
Hotel for senator Brown. The latter had his
ovfrcoat on, all ready TO SET out. Mt. Hill asked
about the dress suit, and got an answer that it
was all right" When the two Senators pulled

but 1t was thing of magnificent proportions.

to make him fun dress suit out OF heavy

Senator arrayed In all his glory. OF course
there was no ''set" to the coat. It looked like q

wearer brought his dinner with him. equally
divided between the two. Senator Brown had
to sit on the coat tails all the time to prevent
their climbing up to the neck. 1t was truly
