Like Canada? Yes. I like 1t. I
like the good Canadians We met
like them for their kindness to us. I
like the country for ito coolness 10
summer aud its picturesquesess in
winter. but l do not want TO annex
it to the United States. The mas is
a fool who will say that it will some
day form . part Of the greatest Re-
public on earth. a Congress st
Washington will govern Canada
some day, but doubt if we or any Of
our sons shall have any part 10 that
government. surely think that our
grandchildren will. It will come
about and be consummated gradsally
and of necessity, but meanwhile
there is no reason Why the two coan.
tries should not exist and be pros.
porous under separate governments.
Four.fifths Of the people Of Canads
to-day would vote in favor Of con.
mercial union with the United States.
Four.6fths would vote against On.
nexation. This is merely my opinion,
based on what | have seen and heard
and what representative Canadians
have told me.-J. Arnory Knox.

Of the 9th to the morning of the 10th
was about 40 degrees; light frosts
were general in the sngar region last
night, but it is not thought that kill
ing frost occurred in any but the

the State from the 5th to the 9Th,
sufficient in the sugar region to put
the ground in good condition for
fall planting cane, and be beneficial
to the standing crop.
