ranizcd political movement in Canada tor ao-
,,;ssion TO the United States The Provinces
must first appeal to the Crown before either
policy can be seriously entertained at WASH
prton. Americans must stand and wait while
their Canadian neighbors are working out
their own salvation.
The discussion of either Of these questions
on any other grounds than these is a gratultous
impcr.inence both to Canada and Great Brit
ain. The Dominion is not On independent
State armed with treaty making powers. The
Provinces are dependencies of the Crown, and
cannot be brought into the Union without their
consent and the acquiescence of England Com
mercial union is not openly favored by either
of the main parties in the Dominion, but IS
advocated chiefly by small contingent OF
Canadian Mugwumps and its Envoy Extraor-
binary residing in New Y ork, Mr.. Wiman. An
uexation is secuted by all factions as an I'M
practicable policy. There is unquestlonably a
feeling Of unrest and dissatisfaction with ex-
listing institutions and relations, and it peryades
all classes of Canadian society; but there Is
nothing like an organized movement in favor
either Of commercial union or annexation.
Until there be such a movement the American
Government should refrain from oiiiciousy
mcddling in Canadian concerns.
At the same time Senator Sherman has given
TO the American press the cue to be followed
whenever these matters are discussed. Po-
litical union is the wages of commercial union.
The Provinces cannot expect to enjoy unre-
stricted privileges of trade with the United
States without severing the political ties that
connect them with Great Britain and entering
the Union as sovereign States. On those terms
they will be welcomed, and will be allowed
full measure of home rule. On any other
terms commercial union is not to be considered
practical question.

pound for pound along with the salaries OF all
the high-priced English officials in the hhe-
dives service. John Bull is always willing TO
make personal sacrifices so long as the bill OF
expense can be carefully assessed against those
who are governed. There was Cyprus, for en-
ample. which Lord Bcaconsiield acquired at the
close of the Russian-Turkish War Tribute
was TO be paid to the Porte for the privileges
Of occupation. That was part Of the original
agreement. But tribute is not paid. Cyprus
with tribute from the British treasury would
be bad bargain and England never makes
a mistake of that kind.
The Parnell Commission is gradually acqulr-
ing a practical censorship Of British opinion.
Mr.. O'Brien is to be brought into court to-day
to answer to n charge of contempt in cynically
expressing his opinion of the three Judges IN
the course of violent article in his Irish jour
nal. In like manner the venerable Warden
of Merton College is to be disciplined in jan
uary for speaking of Michael Davitt and the
Whitechape murderer in the same breath
Possibly the Commissioners have become con-
WINGED that the legal proceedings begun before
them are never TO end. If the tribunal is to
be q permanent institution, the Judges may
desire to effect some important social and po-
litical reforms. The suppression Of personal
tiles and loud talk in public may be one Of the
earliest of these reforms. Mr.. Balfour ought
to be warned in time.

Judge Cowngs sentence of the dog-catchers
who knocked down lady in the street In order
to steal her pet dog is none too severe.
Rufians of that stamp are more brutal than the
dogs themselves, and the two years confne-
ment in the penitentiary will teach them salu-
tary lesson. The decision, too, will be a warn
ing to other ambitious and not over-scrupulous
dog-catchers. For some time to come owners
OF pet dogs need not be deferred from walking
in the streets by fear Of assault and highway
robbery.
This is truly the season Of good cheer for
the college alumni. Last evening no less than
four college organizations enjoyed annual dim

alma matters in all parts of the land and they
delight to get together at least once year and
exchange "reminiscences of college "rushes''
and college funks.' However the graduates
assembled in festal array may differ as to the
relative advantages TO students Of large and
small colleges, they must agree that New ork
in itself is an educational institution with
which no smaller city can compete.

can.
More diplomacy may be exercised by
the collector than any one would think.
But he can't do nearly as much to help
the church as the members themselves
can as they sit in their seats. Let a
gentle men put silver in the plate and
then follow it with his eye. The chanc-
es are that not one within sight will
have the courage to put in copper.
More than once I've seen man drop a
penny from the palm of his hand in the
middle Of the plate, thinking it would
pass unperceived. But some deacon OF
some one interested in the church,
would light right on to the centre with
we'll directed glance. Then the man
would look down, discover with surprise
that he had put in a cent, say,
"What ridiculous mistake" and put
IN more. There are lots Of old church
members who understand this, and no
matter what church you may go to, I'M
less you sit up in the gallery, you will
be pretty sure to see some old gentle
man or old lady with an eye on you as
the plate goes by. More hesitating
nlckles have been turned in the right
direction by this means than any one
has an idea of. And It's only right,
for no one can supply church with
heat, light and good minister unless
ne has money to do it with. And every
one who enjoys these comforts ought to
help pay for them.
There is curious case in one church.
1t is that Of an old white haired mem
Der, worth million, who always puts
Just ten cents in the box. Rain or shine,
he's always in his seat at the same hour,
and always has a dime in change.
I've heard our minister make the
most touching sermon on the heather
you ever heard. Tears would wet
the old millionaire's cheeks, but Just as
that box came around he would wipe
has eyes, reach with his right hand in
his left waistcoat pocket, and draw out
that dime, just enough to take mis-
sionaryy to Harlem. He probably CON
tracted that habit when he was a DOOR
man, and grew to Like it.
Other men are just the other way,
and give LIBERAL y more, perhaps, than
they can afford. Men who get their
money most easily are the most liberal;
brokers and spectators who don't
know whether they own a cent or not
will throw a $40 bill, when solid real
estate owner will give quarter. And
I've seen q regular gambler come
into church in all kinds offancy clothes
and contribute something handsome,
Just for luck.

"A Pretty Stiff Story.

There is a problem in this town for

old, and his life for the last ten years
has been thecomment ofall who know

eye. the most delicate touch and
dreamy fancy, and, moreover, there
must be inventive talent that needs
replenishment as the seasons come
and go. Yet for ten years he has
averaged between thirty and forty
drinks OF hard liquor every day. Ere
quently he has been known to drink
sixty times day. He does not con-
fine himself to whisky, gin or brandy.
but jumbles them all up, taking bran
dy before breakfast and gin and whis-
ky the rest OF the day. He has been.
Known to take nine gin fixes before
8 O'Clock IN the morning. He is in bed
every night at 10 o'clock, and up at
q IN the morning. He attends strictly
to business, save for the time that is
occupied IN dash1ng in and out of a
neighboring hotel bar room. He is.
well known up town, and the pride of
his friends is that this human seplu-
chre OF rum has never been seen intox-
icated. Some swell New York bows

defing into a Turkish bathing estab-

Matters of Interest Concerning tho Mcr-

 The Merideu, Waterbury and Connecti- cut River railroad will ill short time be carrying the United States mail, as nego- tiations to that effect are about completed. Arrangements with the United States express company for carrying goods have already been completed.
 In Southington the manufacturers and business men are complaining of the high freight rates of the Canal railroad. Guess that town will have to be connected soon with the new road. That'll bring freights down. Coal in Southington costs SC. 75 per ton now.
 Timothy Mooney has been made fire man on Conductor Booths train and Frank Dwyer takes Mooney's place as brakeman on the construction train. All the hands employed on the accommodation trains will have to live in Cromwell in the future and the most of them went over last night and obtained temporary board ing places.
