eANABAs DRIFT TOWARD ANNEXATION

The storm center of the fisheries dis
puie rests for the time being over Cana
ds. We can afford to allow the CONNER
eial argument TO take its course, but the
political tension there can be probably
followed. The Toronto Globe remarked
the other day that one of three things
WAS inevitable,-co union with
ths United States, abrupt termination of
all commercial intercourse, or finally an
aexation. The article was written in the
belief that commercial union WAS the
manifest destiny of the two countries
but it does not take very extended
search among the Canadian papsrs TO
find abundant evidence of deep feeling
ia favor of annexation. The Toronto
mail in the course of a long and gloomy
editorial on the commission, explained
how the maritime provinces would suffer
if the present tariff arrangements are
maintained or if the convention of 1878
is abandoned. "In all likelihood it con.
tinues "the secession agitation in the
maritime provinces will be renewed, and
who could blams them for resenting the
abandonment of a valuable portion of
the national inheritance This admis
sion is but one voice from a rising storm.
A cry comes mp from New Brunswick
which sounds like an echo of the forebod-
ings OF the Mail. John Ellis, member
of the Dominion Parliament, says through
the medium of his paper, the St. John
Globe, that annexation is the zone simple
way of settling the fisheries dispute. 1t
is not to be wondered at that the pro
vince Is greatly excited over words like
these:
Let any reasonable man soberly ask
himself the question, what cause exists
for dividing line, and he cannot ans
wer it to his own satisfaction To a
Canadian, full OF national aspiration aud
seeking national life, where can liz secure
it as he can in the United States Events
are crdwding each other so rapidly in
Canada that it Is only question OF time
wnen the people Of Canada will be asked
to settle the question Of annexation at
tue polls.

massive blocks of buildings, was bought
in 1886 by Wilfred Weber, of Holland,
who settled on Manhattan Island short
time previous. In 1874 Mr.. Weber leas-
ed the land to a kinsman, Wilfred Weber,
Jr., for 200 years. DR.. Weber's father is
of the seventh generation of Weber sen
ior, who originally owned the land. On
the expiration of the lease IN 1874 the
land naturally reverted to the descendants
of the original Wilfred Weber, ard for a
few years past William Weber and other
descendants have been busily engaged
proving they were direct descendants of
the first owner. Now that it is proved
there will be meeting of heirs in New
York, Jan. 20, to complete the arrange
ment for getting possession. The pro
uerty is valued at $4,000, 600.

THE failure of Greenway's bank, War
wickshire, Eng, some little time ago was
due to the most fragrant wildcat"
banking, which had been carried on sue
eessfully for quarter of a century.
The country people had no doubt of the
banks solvency in all these years.
Kslgsge Greenway, the senior partner,
was extremely respectable, very well con
neoted, and was considered a model
banker by the whole countryside. Mean
while the bank was totally insolyent, and
the firm traded on their customers money
and their own reputation. Reckless
speculation was carried on, the firms
private accounts were overdrawn, and not
ever "dootored" statement of the banks
alta - WAS made. Greenway's bank was,
We believe the last private bank which
had the right of issue, and when the
crash came the creditors of course got
nothing, and the bank bills were wholly
worthless.
