The Brunswick Telegraph announces that
local historical society is to be formed in
that town soon. The object of the association
is the collection of documents and curiosties
to be held in trust for the town, the recording
of authentic anecdotes of men and women of
the past, the placing in permanent form the
record of events of more recent date. This
is an excellent idea and one which should be
carried out all over the State. The work
which such associations can accomplish will
be of vast importance in preserving to sue
1t seems to be proven fact that water can
be so treated by the fumes of burning sulphur
as to kill every spore, and then in the water
thus purified fruit can be kept for a great
length of time. This fact if proven will
establish the truth Of the theory that all
putrefactive processes are occasionod by the
termination of spores.

ANNEXATION NOT PROBABLE.
Ex-Governor Proctor Says Canada Does
Not Desire on-Congressnan
CIRCUITS Views.

A Washington dispatch to the Boston
JodrnUl says Governor Redteld Proctor
of Vermont, who is here, speaking OF the
Butterworth resolution as to commercial
union with Canada, says: The candid
opinion about Canada is that she will not
desire annexation AZ long as she can have
certain privileges of trade with us without
it. Annexation depends very largely upon
the attitude our government observes
toward Canada. If, for instance, Canada
could secure commercial reciprocity she
would have all she wants, and would prefer
to maintain her nationality intact If we
are firm with Canada, if we show her no
favors that she does not reciprocate in kind,
she may finally come to see annexation as a
commercial necessity. This i'll brief Is my
view of the question:
Congressman Circuit has given good deal
of attention to the annexation problem. He
says: AT present the government party in
Canada are vehementy opposed to anexa-
ton This is very much the stronger Of the
two parties, and is of course the one that
leads in public sentiment. The government,
| or conservative party, is mainly made up of
| Englishmen or the descendants Of English
men, who are intensely loyal TO the English
| crown. | believe they are even more zeal
| Gus in their loyalty than the conservatives
in England are. They would never consent
| to annexation without being reduced to some
desperate extremity. There is large ele-
ment in the Canadian liberal party that
would greatly welcome annexation, but If
vote were taken on the subject to-day Can
ada would vote down the proposition by a
| large ma iority. The French Catholics would
/ be a serious obstacle in the way of anneXa-
! ton OF course they could not live under a
republican form OF government without
surrendering some of the church privileges
they have so long possessed. don't, Of
course, mean church privileges as they APP
ply to the right of worship in whatever
manner they may desire, but privileges now
exercised by the church i'll the temporal at
fairs of communicates. Taking all this into
| consideration do not think annexation at
all probable within the time of this genera
ton. There is but one way it could come, and
that would be in case we should go to war
with England. In that event Canada would
fall to us at once as a military necessity.
But war with England is hardly to be con
silcred a probability; we ought to remain at
pence with England, and most likely will dc

OVER THE SCHEME PROPOSED BY
Mr.. BUTTERWORTH.
Canada's Government organ Gail, Butter
worth Names His bin Referred
and Likely to 8c Smot hcred by
the House Committee.

OTTAWA, Dec H. Tho government organ
acre, The Citizen, says of Butterworths an
noxation resolution: "The meddling busy
body from Ohio little understands the spirit
of the people of Canada if he imagincs they
will meekly submit to proposal for the ab-
sorption of their country 10y n foreign nation
whose treatment of Canada has been charac-
terzed by insult and untriendness, and
whose bullying attitude from time to time
has been unworthy OF "A nation of the posi-
ton and standing of the United State"
The Journal Qndl says: Before we
wrench our coat roll up our sleeves ana
grab poker, we propose to wait and see what
congress does about Butterworth's bomb
shell. This paper has got to worry enough
about cranlSs in Canada without executing a
war dance around an Ohio one"
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-The Butterworth
resolution, the object Of which was to secure
the Dominion of Canada as part of the
United States, goes TO the house committee
on foreign affairs, and it is safe to say that
it will not be heard from by that committee
during the present session.
Nearly every member of the committee
expressed his disapproval of the project. 1t
is not so much that the gentlemen are OPP
posed to Canadian annexation, for, to tell
the truth, there is scarcely one of them who
has given the subject any serious thought
whatever The idea that Great Britain will
consent to part with her North American
possessions or that the people Of Canada arc
extremely anxious to become part of the
population of the United States, certainly
has no considerable number of adherents
among members Of either house. There has
been. so far as can be judged, no particular
expression of opinion on the part of residents
of the United States hich would indicate
that the desire is at all widespread that
Canada should be incorporated into thi.
country.
Even the policy of commercial unior
| which was advocated with so much force by
Messrs. Butterworth and Wiman about Il
! year ago has not been discussed to any great
| degree i'll this country except in the states OF
| the eastern seaboard and along the Canadian
border. The attempts to bring that matter
up for discussion in the house up TO the pres
ent time have proved abortive. 1t is alto
gether too early in the day, in the opinion OF
| the leading men of both parties i'll congress
to think of trying to acquire Great Britain
North American possessions. With the ex
cepton of Mr. Butterworth and perhap
Senator Sherman and one or two others tn
current opinion here is that the initiatory
| move must come from Canada.
