CANADIAN ANNEXATION.

In well written article in the current num-
Der Of the Magazine of American History
Mr.. J. l.. PAYNE of Ottawa tells why the
Canadian people are opposed to the union
of Canada and the United States. He con-
cedes that bitter party struggles have
tended 10 destroy the confidence of some
Canadians i'll the present and future of
their country and to have created the agita-
ton of the question of annexation to the
United States. But he insists that this
feeling is not general and the people
of this country must not be misled by the
reckless statements of disappointed politi-
cal leaders. He admits that the Canadians
feel the burthen of the administration of
governmental affairs. Extending as it does
over country so vast in extent, it neceS-
sarily imposes considerable burthen on the
people. The development of the resources
OF Canada, the construction of needed pub
lie works, has entailed an outlay of money
which five millions of people cannot
feel rests lightly upon them. But
yet, Mr.. PAYNE says, the weight
of debt and taxation is borne cheer
fully, and on fair comparison it is found
to be lighter than in any country similarly
situated and certainly not heavier than that
of the United States. But he goes deeper
than this and says 1.-THE forces which make
up vigorous civilization are felt to be
strong, and with all the privileges which
the American system of government pre-
sents, we feel that there is an absence of
that license in certain directions which it
tolerates. l need not particularize. And
thus it is we receive rebuke from direc-
ton that we least expected. No, it is not
worth while to particuIarize. We know
well enough what is meant when the Cana
dams dread that license in certain direc-
lions which we tolerate" We are begin
ming to dread it ourselves. The story is
told in detail from day to day on the wit
ness stand in Chicago. 1t is shameful
condition for this great nation when it is
compelled to bow in humiliation under the
justice of rebuke administered by our lit
tie kinsman to the north of us. Just awhile
ago we were wanting to take Canada under
the protection of our national wings. Now
we are reminded that we have tolerated
abuses of our system of free government
until it is not safe for her to come. In JUS
tice to itself this nation must eliminate an
archism from its SOIL

THE POLITICAL DYNAM1rER.

Poor old Mr.. MURAT HALsTEAD is in a
bad fix. When Gen. LOGAN knocked the
old man down, the whole gang of Republi-
can politicians piled on him and are trying
to hold the old fellow down until after the
next presidential election. The trouble
with HALsTEAD is that he is reckless
dynamiter in politics. Every time he ex-
plodes bomb he kills somebody or some
thing. The last bomb he threw exploded
IN the camp OF lot of Republican presi-
Dental candidates, and the three little
booms OF EvARTs, LOGAN and SHERMAN
climbed the golden stairs together. Now
that the old anarchist is down the rest of
the gang are sitting On him with the
determination that he shall not have
another chance to throw bombs until after
1883. By that time Mr.. HALsTEAD will
be too old to go to the senate, and peace
will once more reign in Ohio

THE GREEDY EXPEDITION.
Extracts From Lieut.. Kislingbury'i
Diary Rejecting on Greedy.

Diary Kefiecting on Greedy.
DETROIT, July 26.-The recent publica-
of the story of Sergt. Maurice Cornell, one
of the survivors of the Greedy exploring ex-
petition. has been the occasion for a per-
usal of the diary Of Lieut.. Kislingbury, and
the publication of extracts. The
diary was in possession of the
administrator of Lieut.. Kislingbury's
estate. In regard to the differences be-
| tween Greedy and Kislingbury, which re-
suited in the latter being deprived of his
authority. Lieut.. Greedy said it was be-
cause of INSTRUMENTATION in not getting up
for breakfast when called. Lieut. Kisling-
bury speaks of being relieved August II,
1881 and on May 10, 1884, Greedy prom
| ised to issue an order renStating him. I'm
der date of May 81. 1884. Lieut.. Kisling-
bury writes:
He (Greely) said he would give me the
credit and pay me the compliment deserved.
was obliged to commence reminding him Of
this when he cut me snort, flew into passion
| and called me liar in loud insulting man
ner. God help me, 1 mad to take this. Too
weak to write any more tonight"
This was the last entry, and eight days
later, June L, 1854, Lieut.. Kislingbury died
Greely's letter deposlng Kislingbury, is
dated Jan. 20, 1882, while as shown above,
| that officer speaks of being relieved nearly
year previously and Greeley himself
speaks in his letter of your enforced stay
with this command which seems to cor
roborate Lieut.. Kislingbury's claim that he
was relieved before the complaint about get
ting up mornings. On the tWo-and-a-half
sheets that are all remaining of one of the
darY's are entries that show that Lieut..
Kislingsbury was hampered and secretly III
terferred with by superior officers. He was
allowed to choose companion for hunt
ing expedition and selected Connell, who
was secretly told by lieut. Greedy that he
could return at any time and need not hold
himself subject to Kislingburys
orders. Last February extracts were taken
from the diary by the Washington cores
pondents referring to Greedy as incompe-
tent. However, many of the most import
ant points were omitted. Following are a
few of these:
April 8, 1851 am to-day made member
of the expedition.
Greedy told him he would give him full
credit for his admirable conduct
April rs, 1864-Connell is quite weak. Poor
DR.. Pavey is unceasing and untiring in his
efforts to help US all. His medicines are in
adequate. and the reason must be shown
hereafter. He is still under arrest. He chops
ice and helps all he can in the way of chores.
On April 81. 1884, DR.. Pavey recon-
mended changes of diet. and Greedy found
fault with the doctor as usual" Other re-
Elections are made on Greedy, who openly
disregarded dietary suggestions and con-
Tessed doing so. He says the commanding
officer also disregarded all suggestions re-
garding the course of the expedition, al
though such suggestions would have insured
safety.

mouse bill to increase the naval establishment

committee on naval affairs The reading of
the deficiency bill was resumed. An item
was inserted to pay Edwin B. Smith S., 600 for
legal services rendered the government in the
Guiteau case. The reading of the bill being
completed and all the amendments reported
by the committee on appropriations being
disposed of, the bill was open to general
amendment. On motion of Mr. Hale an item
was inserted Of $24S,000 for repayment TO

their energies in making success of both

The Omahag Republican does not write very
intelligently of Minnesota politics when it
speaks OF ex-senator Window as probably
ADLER than ex-Gov. Davis. There is not in
the whole Northwest a more brainy scholar.
more brilliant orator, more eminent
lawyer, or an ADLER man than Cushman K.

that there is not in Minnesota more over
rated man than William Window of Wi
mona. To anyone knowing the two men per-
sonally a comparison is ridiculous
Neither is the Republican right when it
alludes to the "Sabin blunder'' as 1.-THE Sc
lection of man merely because he is sup
posed to be rich" Sabin was elected solely
because he was the only man upon whom
sufficient Republican strength could be conld
tentrated to warrant the thirty-eight Demo-
Gratis in casting their votes for anybody to
beat Window" Sabin's wealth cut no figure

politics, a united Democracy.

probably due to Mr.. MCPHERSON to saw
that the Republican congressman are only

reason for wanting to disband the commit

source of revenues. the office-holders.
