Mr.. BLAINE is speaking words Of
welcome to those of our Canadian
brethren who desire annexation. Such
a measure would doubtless be of much
advantage to Canadian interests, but
is strenously opposed by large num-
bers of Canadians who are loyal to
England, and would rather see such
commercial relations as would place
them on equal footing with our citi-
zens, than to sever their relations with
that power Ifhowever, a sufficiently
liberal treaty cannot be had, annexa-
tion is looked upon with general favor
by Canadians, and is equally welcome
to citizens in the States, at least bOr-
dering on Canada.

Political Meeting in Wilmington
(Mo,Ning Nesos.)

(lNo,niRg Ne1Os)
The Institute Hall meeting on Sat
urday evening was profitable for in-
struction. Mr.. Charles NJ. Curtis
made manly and forcible speech on
state questions, and at times he deeply
moved his audience, as, for example,
when he said that he would rather
stand up and be knocked down hun
dTed times as a Republican than to
lie down and be trampled on. The
speech of Mr.. Washington Hastings
was plain and practical, aud went d.
rectly to the mark. His analysis of
the exploits of Mr. Cleveland's admin
istration in turning the rascals out"
was telling. The only "rascal' found
was an Irishman named John Roach,
and his credit was destroyed and his
heart broken by the refusal of the ad-
ministration to accept according to the
contract the ships built by him. After
his business had been shattered aud he
had died, the administration accepted
the ships, which have been found to
be entirely satisfactory, One dead
man is therefore the net result of the
efforts of the Democrats TO find rascal
ity in Republican administration, and
the final acceptance OF his work shows
that he was hit below the belt.

COMMUNICATION.
sTAYToNsv1LLB.

Though possessed Of but three hundred
inhabitants, our little village supports two
thriving stores, a cannery, steam saw mill,
churches and schools. Hoey's factory this
season packed about 100000 cans of to-
matoes; their season closed with the ad-
vent of frost last week.
Our people are employed in an animated
discussion Of the respective merits of Buffalo
Bill of the Wild West, and Grizzly Bear, who
with their famous repeating rifles had con-
test in this locality.
A meeting was called last week by the
young people who tried to organize sing
ing school, but were not successful.
Our day school opened last Monday with
Paul Clifton principal.
The first social hop the season for this
locality was held last week. Prominent
among the participants were Misses May
cordray Lizzie Webb, Sue Satterfeld, Lucy
Hammond, Clara johnson and Jaue Ham
mond-the latter was voted the belle of the
evening. The gentlemen were Messrs. Pot
ter, J. F. Johnson, NJ, H. johnson, A. Tat
man, c. Warren, Nat Hammond Frank
Burris and Smith, of Houston. Music was
furnished by Prof Steele, of Harrington, and
it was grand and enjoyable social success.

First Of All!

Don't bother about Protec-

weather gets cooler.
But go to J. w. Truitt' s
store and buy your wife a new
Black Henrietta dress, all wool
for SO cents a yard.
Don't bet on the election
unless you know who is going
to be elected.
But even then we think it
would be better to go to ]. w.
Truitt's store and buy your
daughter a silk dress.
The above advice is good,
and when your wife or daugh-
ters want dry goods, notions,
carpets, rugs, or anything else
in his line, they should always
go to J. w. Truths, for l am
convinced that he is selling
new goods at the same prices
we have been paying for old

You will always find some

There viii probably be some
rooms or ceiling in your house

stead of papering, only that it is
so expensive. We can help you
out of that difficulty. Alabastine
is just what you want. 1t is pretty
and good-it will not rub off, it
will not crack or scale, and damp
ness and age makes it harder. 1t

more than whitewash. We will
refer you to a few persons who

WHY MEN DON'T MARRY.

The annual discussion of why
more men do not marry is going the
rounds of the papers. Some of
these find the reason in the dress
and expensive habits of young wo-
men. But that is not the concln-
sion of the New York Press. The
truth is, says the Press that this
country over there are not in any
community, large or small, enough
of bright, enegetic, honest straight
forward young men to marry the
good, homeloving and prudent
young women to be found there. So
that if the girls marry at all, about
third or half of them must be
cheated, not because they wish to be,
but because they can't help it. The
young men are not worth marrying.
So this cheating is inevitable.
There is, doubtless, some truth in
this, especially in some of the larger
cities, like New York, but the Press
makes too sweeping n statement
when it includes all places, great or
Sludll, III us SIdlcluGllls hClc ulC,
doubtless, many places where hon
est straightforward young men are "a
bout as plenty as good home-loving
and prudent young women. Still it
is, doubtless, true that the increas-
ing extravaganza and cost of living
and the desire of young couples to
begin life where their parents leave
off, effectually frighten many n
young man who would he able and
only too glad to start home in
modest way commensurate with his
limited income. In laying the sin
of extravaganza at the door of the
fair sex, we do not wish to be under
stood as implying that the young
man of the period is free from it. y
If marriage is really going out
of fashion, the fault is not confined
to either sex, and as the blame is di-
vided so must the responsibility be.
Let there be less extravaganza on
both sides and more frankness in re-
gard to money matters, and ways
and means generally between those
who contemplate matrimony, and
we shall hear less of this periodic
question: why don't the men
marry !"-Jersey City Journal.
