The movement in the United States
Senate for the annexation Of Canada
has alarmed some of the timid advo-
Gates of commercial union and re-
ciperocity, who are declaring that it
will retard the closer alliance of the
two countries rather than promote it.
The Senate has merely begun prepa-
rations for the inevitable. CONNER
cial reciperocity can amount to moth
ing unless Canada discriminates in
her duties against England and in
favor of the United States. The
English Government will not permit
this discrimination to be made. Can
ada is already aroused to sense of
the greater advantage of open busi-
ness with this country over her pres
ent relations with Great Britain. The
natural sequence of England's refus-
al of reciprocity of discrimination
will be a tremendous annexation
ground-swell in Canada. Far-seeing
statesmen have long since noted the
approach of the time when Canada's
self-interest will throw her into the
United States. The Senate has mere
ly put up finger to indicate its still
nearer approach and to pave the way
for annexation without a shock.

The price of fine American fleece wool
was never so low as in 1888. Fifty
millions of dollars was Americas
contribution, for the single year of
1888, to the foreign wooden manufac-
turer; and the foreign dealer in the
raw material benefited to the extent
of S14, 100000. The total cost abroad
of wool and its manufactures, import
ed into this country for the year,
reached S64, 100000.

Three states now have ballot-reform
massachusetts Rhode Island
and Indiana. The prospect that other
states will secure similar legislation
this year is not, we fear, very good.
The Saxton bill is pending in the New
York legislature, but even with the
effort that has been made to bring it
into harmony as far as possible with
the views expressed in his message
by Governor Hill, it is plain it is not
satisfactory to the governor and his
party. Another bill has been prepar
ed which the democratic members
will press, with the purpose, it would
appear, of preventing any legislation
on the subject by this Legislature.
The same tactics are being pursued
in the New Jersey legislature, which
is democratic in both houses. A bill
similar to the Saxton bill was intro
duced early in the session by dem
ocratic member, at the urgent request
of a labor organization. 1t was a
good bill, and is still a good bill not
withstanding the amendments which
have been made at the suggestion of
Governor Green: but it is not in high
favor with the majority, tho it could
be passed if few democrats in each
house would stand by it, the republi-
cans being unanimous in its support.
But party bill has been got ready,
and if the prospect of the passage of
the original bill improves the party
caucus is likely, it is thought, to
adopt the party measure, and push it
through The need of ballot reform
in both these states-New York and
New Jersey-no honest man can
deny; and those who are trying to
embarrass the cause are putting them
selves in bad light before the pub
lie. The inference is that they would
rather have corrupt than honest cleo
tions. We are glad, however, that
the reform is to have trial in three
of our states, and especially in Indi-
ana, which has come to be associated
in the public mind with an extensive
system of bribery in elections. The
adoption of the act is much to the
credit of the democratic Legislature
of that state.

enough congressional backing in the
New York delegation to at least kill
the chances of any other man from
that state Mr.. Harrison desired Mr..
Tanners appointment, but could not
openly break his own rule not to act
as umpire in state quarrels.
The Kansas delegation had a taste
of President Harrison's adherence to
his rules on Saturday. He told the
members that they must agree upon
a man or a certain office would 90 to
some other state. They retired and
all fell into line but Representative
Peters, whose obstinacy is proverbial.
AS he is the member from the district
in which the applicant who had the
support of the majority resides, his
refusal to agree was more annoying.
At last as compromise, Mr.. Peters
proposed the name of another equal
ly good republican, but bitter pro-
fessional and personal enemy of the
other candidate. With one bound
Senator Ingalls, was in the arena, and
the scoring he gave Mr.. Peters would
have made more sensible man
ashamed. 1t did depress Mr.. Peters
for the moment, but cork pushed
under water bobs merrily up when
the prssure is removed. Anyhow
Kansas has lost the appointment, ,and
there is dissatisfaction in her camp.
The man who said to himself three
days after the Inauguration that the
office seekers were not more numer-
Gus now than after former inaugura-
tions, reckoned without his host. The
host has arrived since and the end is
not yet. The politicians who have
no time to waste and who regard in
auguration ceremonies as a circus to
be religiously avoided by any man of
stern purposes, delayed their coming.
But once here their activity is
boundless, and their efforts spur the
tagged out spirits of their opponents,
who have been here several weeks, to
corral the ''infuence."
The expectant sleep upon their
arms, ready at any time to be up and
give battle TO any men who seek to
support them. Opposition but en-
boldens the strong while it crushes
the weak, in office hunting as in all
else in this fighting world. The In
diana man, of whom | told you last
week, who was confident of appoint
ment as commissioner Of Indian af-
fairs, has already been routed with
great slaughter, and is now even con-
tent to be clerk, if he can secure that.
l still predict for him a messengers
place at $50 a month, and my conf
dence in my own good judgment
grows apace. NV friend is weak
man and will not fight.
Contrast him with a Kentucky office
seeker who was at one time in the
post-ofiice department as n $1,000
clerk ,and was discharged by the dem
ocrats. Although he was discharged
on account of his justly famous ig-
norance, which was appropriately
combined with probably the smallest
amount of actual good sense that
ever fell to the lot of man, he is now
posing as a martyr, and wants to be
fifth auditor. He might as well ask
TO be fifth angel in the hosts of heav-

Our national production of wool is

\ 200, 900 pounds in 1884; 329,-
10000 in 1885, 322, ,3O5, 900 in 1886,

million pounds from 1887 was
used by low prices for wool and

The Canadian claim that the Alas
