THE LEAyEN WORKS. e.,

The talk INDUCED in on this side
the line about anneXing Canada to the
United States has had its effect over
the border. Figuratively speaking, it
has scared Sir JOHN MACDONALD outof
his boots. So much impressed is he
with the belief that revolution in pub
lie sentiment is now going on in the
dominion favorable to annexation, he
has actually besought the queen to send
some member of the royal family to
Canada, in the hope that spirit Of 10y
atty to the home government may
thereby be revived among the Canadian
subjects. Nor has Queen VICTORIA
turned deaf ear to this appeal. The
earnest tone of Sir JOHNS suppiica-
ton convinced the old lady that
the feeling III favor Of annex
alton had grown to dangerous
proportions, so she has Instructed her
ministry to pack the gripsack of one OF
the newest sprigs of royalty and
start him right off to her Canadian
possessions. The eldest son OF the
Prince of Wales, the heir apparent, has
been selected as the royal representa-
tive to awaken the spirit of loyalty to
the throne among the people OF Canada;
and the young gentleman. with his
nobby clothes, will soon be on exhibit
ton in the dominion. In the mean
time the advocates of commercial union
and reciprocity will be terrifying their
plan against this royal invasion.

TOBACCO REFORMERS.

Cheap tobacco is good thing-for the
tobacco consumer. But cheap bread,
cheap coal and cheap clothing are much
better for the masses. Mr.. RANDALL and
his few Democratic followers who are
aiding the Republicans in an effort to
force the passage OF the Cowles tobacco
bill, to the exclusion of more important
legislation, should think of this. Bread
and fuel and clothing are articles that
must be had to sustain life. Tobacco
at best is a pardonable luxury. good
enough in its way for those who like it,
but in no sense necessary to support
human life. 1t seems to us to be a
queer kind of craftsmanship which in-
slsts pom protecting the tobacco
grower, yet affords no protection to the
wheat grower; that wants to take the
tax from the cigarette and yet keep it
on coal.
The repeal of the tobacco tax would
reduce tlle revenue s30.o0O.00O. 1t could
stand that reduction, and more too: and
yet what is the sense of making the re-
duction Oh luXuries when there are so
many articles that are necessaries which
are taxed beyond all reason?

THE TWO DAKoTAS.

The jubiiant feeling among our
Dakota friends over the passage of the
omnibus territorial bill is naturally
shared by the people of Minnesota, for
their interests are our interests, and
their prosperity is our prosperity. And
yet, with all their jubilation. there is
still an impression In the minds OF
great many Dakota people that it would
have been better for the territory to
have been admitted as one state. What
grand domain there was lying within
the territorial limits--and it required no
great amount of prophetic spirit to look
forward to the day when the state OF
Dakota would have possessed an i'm
perial grandeur equaled by no other
state. But it is too late now to discuss
this phase Of the question. The stress
of political requirements and the lack
of railroad communication between the
northern aud southern sections of the
territory combined to make division a
necessity: and, yielding to the force of
circumstances, the good people of both
sections have flushed their differences
of opinion and have gracefully accepted
the inevitable.
Now that division is fixed fact, and
the territory will be admitted into the
Union as two states. there will, and
should be, q generous rivalry between
the two as to which shall outstrip in the
race for pre-eminence. Both of the
soon-to-be new states are rich in mate
rial wealth. Both are blessed with en-
ergetic, enterprising populations. Each
is fortunate in the possession OF lines of
railway, of growing cities, of a world
wide reputation for its agricultural
products, of an established system of
education of the greatest excellence, of
churches and school houses, and of all
the elements of the most progressive
civilization Both will come into the
Union magnifcently equipped for state
hood. with prestige and qualification
never before possessed by territory
gaining admission to the Federal Union.
Starting out under such splendid and
unusual conditions, it is reasonable to
suppose that the two Dakotas will soon
rise to the front rank of states. Mimic
sofa, their elder sister. stands with open
arms to welcome the youug debutantes,
and wishes them God speed in the career
ofgreatness and sovereignty upon which
they have just been launched.

PaRNELI,s ViND,oaT1oN.

Proceedings have already gone far
enough in the PARNEIL commission to
convince any unprecedented person that
PARNEIL is innocent Of the accusations
made by the London Times, and that
the publication of the forged letters was
part of Tory plot to destroy the in
f1uence of the Irish leader. That the
letters were forged is now beyond all
reasonable doubt. Their commences
was denied by the persons whose names
were signed to them. 1t then became
necessary for the Times to establish
their authenticity by Independent testi-
mony. The effort was made to prove
their genuineness by the testimony of
the informer PIGerT. who was on the
stand yesterday and the day before; and
such mess Of it was scarcely ever made
before in court OF justice. By his
own testimony the witness PIGoTT is
convicted of being professional black
mailer, whose business it is to play the
detective simply for the revenue that is
in it. After vainly trying to blackmail
MIR. PARNELL and his friends into
paving him certain amount for
the suppression of the letters. he
then turned around and sold them to
the Tory leaders. He now refuses to

the Democrats realize that something
more than traditions will be needed to
keep them on the safe side. A good
many prominent Confederates have
found it profitable to profess to be Re
