CANADIAN ANNEX<TION.

In affairs of nations, the reasonable settle
ment is in the long run the probable settlement.
To Canadians, political union with the United
States is becoming every year more clearly
essential to prosperity. 1t is also plain that
The Canadian Maritime Provinces which gain
nothing but lose most by the separation. suffer
most from the Unfnendly regulations that tho
Canadian Government enforces against Amerl-
can fishers, and have rich mines that anneXa-
ton would render enormously valuable, begin
to feel more strongly than other provinces that
annexation is not only their destiny, but their
straight path to grand prosperity 1t is there
fore no surprise to hear that movement Tor
secession Of the Maritime Provinces from the
Canadian Dominion with intent to seek sepa-
rate and speedy union with the United States
is growing in strength in these Provinces. BE-
cause this solution is the only one that Will
permanently advance the prosperity OF the
Provinces, it is likely sooner or later to DO
preferred.
1t has been the habit, in this country and in
Canada. to think of possible annexation only
with reference to the Dominion as a whole.
ANY change has seemed distant, because the
opposition in some of the central Provinces has
been manifestly overpowering. But there is
no reason for supposing that the Provinces will
come together or not at all The union be-
tween them has been Of unequal yoke-fellows.
Benefits and burdens have unavoidably been
most unfairly distributed. Canadian union
might easily be regarded with enthusiasm by
many of the inhabitants of central Provinces,
but it he's done nothing whatever for the i'm
provement and prosperity of the dwellers near
| the sea-coast. For them the participation in
the great burdens and debts created for the
DEVELOPMENT of railway lines to the Pacific
brings no compromising advantage whatever;
the transcontinental traffic, however great il
NAV become, may benefit Montreal, but does
not benefit the people OF the Maritime PROV
inces On the other hand, the antagonlsm be-
tween the Canadian Government ana the
United States, much Intensified by the later
plans and efforts of the Dominion, involves
sacrifices and burdens which fall almost en-
tirely and with oppressive severity upon th'
Provinces about the mouth OF the St. Law
renee. =,
The attitude of the United States in the
matter is simple, friendly and frank. Ihl'
country can only wait II does not want an
nexation of any unwilling population. 1t ha:
not the slightest reason to hasten consumma
ton which is by all people in this country re-
garded rs inevitable, though probably distant
Sooner or later, the Canadian people will prob
ably find It TO their advantage to share the in
stitutions the rapid growth, and the unparal
eled prosperity Of this great Nation. and their
is no reason on this side for insisting that an.
traction of them shall not come without thu
rest To us, their union under one Govern
ment has ever seemed in measure iictitiou
and Temporary. Every part Of Canada loses b.

preferred, he would refuse to give advice here
after touching Imperial matters. Bismarck
hold upon the German people is too strong for
them TO be content that he should take sec
ondary place, and the Emperor appears TO have
Welded. To Republican eyes it seems strange
that the German Emperors daughter is not al
lowed to marry the man of her choice because
that man is hated by the Russian Car. How
is it any of the Cars business will naturally
be asked. Germany has an enormous army and
boasts of being the strongest Power in Europe
and vet in little matter of this kind it is afraid
to have its own way. Truly the peace of Eu-
rome is wonderful thing when it has to be
maintained by such means.

WITH Emperor William on the

weeks at most. Prince Bismark in
a decline and in the ordinary course

the heir apparent deformed in body
and weak in mind, the outlook for
the great German Empire is any
thing but inspiri ting. Added to her
ether troubles is the fact that there
is widespread discomfort among the
little principalities making up the
empire. Bismark, more than any
other man, created the empire and
made il the mighty nation we see
to-day. It would be grlevous if in
his life time his work were undone
and the creation of his brilliant
genius sent into decline. Nature
and circumstances may yet combine

John B. Ford, is still in the BUSH
ness, and from his Pennsylvania
works turns out $4,000 feet of
plates every month. The other day

in regard to the plate glass industry.
Ford said that the first plate glass
made in this country was turned
out just sixteen years age. He also
said that the tariff on imported
glass has remained I'm changed for
twenty five years; and that although
there are only four plate glass works
in the United States, the price OF
glass now Is only about two-fifths of
what it was twelve years ago. He
also stated that all the materials
used in its manufacture are obtain
cd in this country, and that the
glass made By natural gas is now
concsded to be far superior to the

HEALTHY as is orr city, the

round. While other communities

Of our citizens, who have rubbed of
the rust Of ages, attempt to do any
thing to better our condition, the
old mossbacks start from their
slumbers in alarm at the threatened
innovation upon the ways Of their
grandfathers, and denounce them
as meddlers, busy-bodies and what
not. They want no change. They
are opposed to the steam whistle
disturbing their day slumbers, and
the sound of the carpenters hammer
shocks their sensitive nervous sys-
TENS. They are to be pitied, but
not despised, for their nature and
early teaching leads them to SUM
Der. Let them sleep.
There is, fortunately for the fu-
ture of our city, a lively interest
being awakened by large class of
those who have had different train
ing, to bring into prominence the
advantages our local surroundings
possess, and seek by combined &C
ton to influence capital to come
among MS and seize upon those ad-
vantages to build up trade, make
money for its owners and better the
condition of our people generally,
including the old croakers themsel-
yes. The enlargement of our city
limits is one step in the right direc-
ton. The movement to establish a
Land improvement company to buy
up our poor unclaimed lands and
make them valuable as residences,
and productive in fruit and vegeta-
BILE culture, is a most important
step which should enlist the sympa-
thy and aid of every live man in the
community. There is a good deal
of money not yet locked up in the
national treasury, which is ready to
take hold of any enterprise that
promises fair return on invest
ments, and it is our duty as good
citizens to bring the many advanta-
ges we possess to the notice of capi-
