The Easiest Way Out.
To the Editor OF the EAGLE.

Kansas City Gazette: President-elect
Harrison should not let the Blaine-Sher-
man matter annoy him. Nobody would
be hurt if he would appoint both to cab
met positions, and We guess this policy
would be the easiest way out Mr.. Blaine
has enjoyed the distinction of being sec
rotary of state once, and has had the
honor Of being the standard bearer of TIE
party. Mr.. Sherman has never had
either. Then make Mr. Sherman secretary
Of state and Mr. Blaine secretary of the
treasury. The happy way III which
Blaine showed up the present incumbent
gives Us an idea that he understands Il
nances thoroughly. 0es. let Blaine count
the money. and Sherman tackle Sack
rilie's successor. The spirit of Henry
Clay seems 10 possess rs, and we are for
a compromise. Let Us have 10 more
half-breeds and stalwaTts.

The last periodic rumor that Charles
francis Adams will resign the presi-
dency of the Unicn Pacific railroad is
afforded but little more ground for Gre
dence in the statement that he is to be
placed at the head of the proposed Inter
state Railway association than any of
the numerous reasons hitherto set up for
such action. This last report puts the
case similar to that of Senator ingalls, in
regard 10 his giving up his seat in the
senate for a position in the new cabinet
or foreign mission: it would be like
giving dollar in exchange for half dol
lar. If Mr.. Adams was out of job he
would probably take charge of the new
trust, but the presidency of the Union

CANADIAN ANNEXION

The contest for mayor of Winsor. On
tarlo, opposite Detroit, which ended in a
bare majority for the administration
candidate, took such a shape that the
friends of annexation supported one
candidate and the opponents of the plan
supported another. They divided very
nearly on the Conservative and Liberal
lines. During the campaign the Liberals
made such extensive gains and made
their idea OF union with the United
States so popular, that the representa-
tiveS OF the ministry became greatly
alarmed. Almost till the time of cleo
ton it seemed certain that the Liberal
candidate would be elected. But the
government made desperate effort and
rallied all its forces. using the power OF
the whole administration, and won by
the bare majority of thirty-eight votes
out of a poll of 1900. Under the circum-
stances the Liberals think that the vic
tory was really with them If the gov
eminent has TO work so hard to defeat a
candidate who stands for the idea of an
nexation. it is evident that the idea has
strong supporters.
While the Windsor election can not be
taken as general indication OF Cana
dian feeling on this subject. for the idea
of annexation would naturally be stron-

A difference of more than one hundred
millions dollars in the value of the grain
crop of the country in favor of the crop
of 1888 as compared with the crop of
1887 ought to make money matters COM
paratively easy with the producers of the
grain surplus states The increase
in the market value of these crops,
we are told by the department of
agriculture, is the result of short crops
abroad and not here. The increase men
toned represents the corn and wheat
crops alone.

ger along the border, it shows at least
that the idea has taken some hold and
that the government is very much exer-
cised in consequence. What effect this
will have on public sentiment on this

seen. While there has been no outspo-
ken opposition SO far expressed, to speak
of, there cannot be said to be anything
like strong sentiment in favor of an
