Annexation seems to be making such head
way in Canada that decisive steps are contem-
plated to check the movement. 1t is reported
from Ottawa that Sir John Macdonald proposes
to submit to Parliament series of measures
creating the Dominion into an independent
kingdom, with one of the English royal family
as reigning head. This would be bold stroke.
and probably it would be effective for time
The people of the United States would not be
disturbed by such policy. They are perfectly
willing to let the annexation spirit develop it
self on the other side of the St. Lawrence with
out interference from this side.

Speaker Cole and Messrs Sheehan, Enz and
Gallup testified in the Assembly ceiling investi-
CATION yesterday, but nothing was brought
out in reference to the bribery charge to which
currency has been given by Assemblyman Mar
tin. In fact, that branch of the subject was
not gone into. The hearing was confined to
the mysterious clause in the contract permitting
the use of papier- mache in the panels instead
of quartered oak. Neither Mr.. Cole, Mr.. Shee-
han nor MIR. Gallup could remember that PAPER
mache was mentioned in the contract; but Mr.
Enz testified positively that the alternative
clause appeared, and that the matter was dis
cussed at "a meeting of the committee. Why
the other members failed to hear what was said
on this head is hardly less mysterious than the
undiscovered origin of the famous clause.

The counting of the Electoral vote took place
Yesterday in the hall Of the House Of Repre-
sentatives, and occupied one hour and twenty
minutes. The proceedings were conducted in
accordance with the law Of 1888. While
formal in character, they were full Of interest,
and considering the importance Of the occasion
Il Is hardly creditable to the American Con-
eress that trifing slips of the tongue were
greeted with uproarious laughter. The official
announcement was made BY Senator ingalls,
that 2s8 votes had been cast and counted for
BENJAMIN Harrison and Levi P. Morton, and
1853 for Grover Cleveland and Allen g. Thur
man. This is the closing act in the contest
which began with the nominations at St. Louis
and Chicago eight months ago.

what Caused the Change.

The statements made by ENtGov. Sher-
delphis Press. while in that city Tuesday
on his way To New York. give good idea
of the local causes influencing the late
election in that state. and show the mar
ter in its real light The result, lac said,
sis absolutely without Significance in it
self, and can have no possible bearing on
national affairs The defea. of the
Republican party WAS due solely
to local causes. and the tariff had
no more TO do with it than the re-
vision Of the New Testament The Demo-
crsctic success In Iowa, which can be but
temporary at best. WAS due to peculiar
combination of circumstances, In the
first place the prohibitory policy adopted
by the Republicans eliminated the large
foreign vote almost in body, while many
libersl-minded American born citizens
voted the Democratic ticket in resent
ment for the attempted ahridgement Of
their liberties by the enactment Of
stringent sunday aud other sump-
uary laws Then. too. the connection
Of Hutchinson. the Republican csndi-
for governor. with the railroads cost
him many votes among the farmers AS
for Senator Allison continued Governor
Sherman, "his friends throughout the
country need have no fears. He
will be returned to the United States
Senate aud will be more Of = fac
tor than ever before. The legislature
is safely Republican with majority Of
eigh. on joint ballot, aud no possible com
bination can beat Mr.. Allison. may say
that the lows Republicans believe thai
the next President will be chosen from
their State, and MIR. Allison is our mosI
popular man."
