A sensation has been caused in
Canada by a report that General
Harrison as president will attempt
TO acquire that country and annex
it to the United States by purchase.
The report is an absurd one. The
United States are not particularly
anxious about Canada, and they
certainly do not desire its annexa-
ton unless it comes as the result
of the wishes of the people of
Canada themselves.

DR.. Tanner expresses the belief
that he can be buried four days
and come out of the grave alive,
but the public has had SO much of
DR.. Tanners theories contra to all

that it may be better for DR.. Tanner
to forego experiments in the
direction proposed. Somebody
might neglect to dig him up.

1t is an evidence Of the extraor-
binary popularity of Gen. Harri-
son in the loyal states, that though
Hill is elected governor of New
York by more than 1900
plurality over Miller, Harrison still
leads Hill on the vote throughout
the state 900 votes; though Hill
was backed by every distiller,
every brewer and every saloon
keeper in the Empire State.

all measures designed to effect tariff reform;
in maintaining under spccious pretenses the
false plea that such action is for the benefit

attempted by the Democratic party in the
true and best interests of labor. The Repub-

advocating eXtravagant and unnecessary ap-
preparations in order to reduce the surplus is
roundly denounced, and the promise made
that the Democratic party will continue, with
the approval Of the people, in the contrary
policy which it has marked out
