OF Blaiuc'k-A Wild md. BlOOtltlairsty
Hg. F Prediction.

VI blhluck-A Will Nnu. NlOOutAifSty
j gs. Prediction. 4
Y PHILADELPHIA, December 5.-The next
vital question to divide political parties in
this country, says Assistant United States
Attorney General ker, will be the expe-
diency OF annexins Mexico. In comparison
with the importance Of this subject, he
declares that the disputes on questions Of
civilservice reform, internal revenue and
the tariff laws will sink into significance.
At present Mr.. Ker can see no vital
question dividing the Republican and
Democratic parties, and it is this absence
Of bone Of contention that will hasten
a dispute. But the leading cause to bring
about this result is the increasing CONNER
cial interest taken by Americans in Mexi-
can affairs. The investment OF American
capital in Mexican railroads has already
awakened IN interest among business men
in the affairs OF that country, and Mr.. ker
expects to see leading commercial men
from the Northern States engage in active
trade with the people across the border.
The resources Of Mexico have only recently
become known to the people OF this coun-
try. Mr.. ker believes our financial inter-
est i'll that country will ultimately lead to a
demand for its annexation.
The completion OF ship canal across
the Isthmus OF Panama will make it i'm
perative to the integrity Of the American
government that the United States should
control all the country between the pres
ent frontier and the canal. When that
day is reached there will be prospects Of
thriving American trade in that part OF
South America lying along the Pacific
coast, and following this the 4 american flag
will be as much respected on the submits
Of the Andes in the valley of the Amazon
and at the Horn as it is in the sight of the
Capitol dome. -t4l
Nlr. kcr expects 10 see American in,
fluence made paramount, not only in the
southerly direction, but in the North also,
as Canaua wilt Obliged in course OF time
to seek annexation for protection. 1t is
impossible, he says, for weak and isolated
people like the Canadians, after separation
from England, to thrive beside powerful
nation like the United States, and its ab.
sorptlon as IN integral part OF the Govern
ment is, therefore, imperative. Then will
America and the United States become CO.
extensive. = :, ',,01 !.
