Canadian Annexation.

The Canadians are much stirred up over
the report that the editor of the Toronto
Mail bias been in Washington secretly urging
upon the Senate committee on commercial
relations certain line of policy on the
ground that 1t would be likely to lead to the
annexation of the Dominion to the United
States. Their anger is natural enough and
justiiable as well. We can easily imagine
how our national pride would be touched
were some prominent citizOn of this republic
to undertake to instruct the Dominion
Parliament how this country might be placed
such straits as to accept annexation to
Canada or change Of government as well
come relief. Among the English inhabitants
OF the dominion national prideis probably
just as strong as in the United States and
just as easily touched. 1t may be true, it
doubtless is true, that Canada is drifting
into closer relations with this country and
away from England, but the national spirit
is still English and is likely to remain so for
many years to come II the union of the
two countries Is to be desired, the quickest
way TO bring it about is to refrain from open
agitation and trust to the operation of COM
meTcial laws and instincts. 1t is trade that
tends to draw the two countries together
1t is national spirit that tends to
keep them apart. Agitation of the
subject. devices for Fastening the union of
the two countries have the effect simply to
stimulate the latter, and therefore to inten-
sify the force which tends to keep the two
countries apart. There is, it is true, an ele-
ment in Canada today which processes to
desire annexation. We refer to the French
of the province of Quebec. II is strong
element In Quebec, but II is comparatively

Senator Ingalls's charge that TIE number
of negroes in the South was swelled by
fraudulent work by the enumer tors of the
last census would be more satisfactory if the
senator would give his reasons for such be-
lief. In some places, no doubt, the number
of the negroes may have been returned too
large for reasons purely local or purely per-
sonal to TO the enumerators and their friends.
Bat 1t does not seem probable that DELHI
crate conspiracy could have been entered up
on and carried out by the enumerators in
the southern States for the purpose of
acquiring the augmented represen-
tation that comes from increase of popu-
lation. The Democrats. who get all the con-
gressnen from the South with few excep-
tions only, would be the only party to profit
by such fraud. But they could not have
carried it out while all the census machinery
was in the hands Of Republican admins
trstion. That there were some local frauds
Ia the last census there seems to be no reason
to doubt; and the South probably had its due
share. There is much evidence that there
have been great frauds In st. Louis in census
years. In that city In 1870 the census was
taken under the supervision of the United
States Marshal. st. Louis was given pop
ulatiOn of $4,000, and for ten years posed as
bigger city than Chicago. That the census
of 1870 was not all right no one discovered
until $780, when. with ten years growth it
was found impossible to give the city more
than $4,000. Gen. Solomon supervised the
st. Louis census of 1880 and found less than
100000 people. An indignant protest was
made to Washington. Prof. Woodward
tried again and could only make the enume-
ration reach $4,000 Then IL was evident
that something was wrong about the census
of 1870. If ST. Louis had only 1852 900 people
in 1880 she could not have had 3l2, 900 in 1870.
All of the facts about the 1870 census are not
known, but there is story to the effect that
three enumerators employed on that census
turned in about $4,000 names, and the enume-
ration was fully 10000 too large The enumer-
ators were paid by the name, and they had
double motive for making their lists as
long as possible. They wanted to beat Chi
cago and to swell their own profits. The
rivalry between ST. Louis and Chicago has
so far subsidized that the virtue of the emu
merators will not be so severely taxed this
year by municipal patriotism: but the new
towns In The West and South may have the
same temptation. Such cases as that of ST.
Louis there were very probably in the South
and Vest in 1880; but it is difficult to con-
Ivy the numbers Of the negroes could
have been swelled systematically throughout
the South in 1880.

feeble In all the other provinces. Yet II
may be doubted If the professed sentiment of
that element even is really sincere. There is
room Tor suspicion that the agitation Cor an
nexatlon among the French is rather for the
purpose OF compelling the English to desist
from certain legisla lion threatened against
what they believe to be their
rights than with the aim of bring
ing about union with this country. But
whether this suspicion be correct or not it is
certainly true that annexation will not come
while the sentiment in favor of 1t is confined
to the French population of Quebec. Indeed
with the bitterness at present existing be-
tween the two races which inhabit the Do
minion the development of annexation SEN
timent in the French element is likely to
extinguish it in the English element. which
Is the only element that can ever bring about
union.
The wsest policy for this country to
adopt under existing circumstances is to put
annexation out of mind, and consider our
relations with the Dominion entirely apart
from their effect to further or retard it.
1t is folly to hope either to bulldoze
or to cajole Canada into union with this
country. If union comes at all it will come
only when the Canadians have come to
believe that it will be for their interests.

many veteran Or the Peninsular campaign
who remembers the two young French
princes who served on the staff of General
Mcclellan during the first extensive cam
pagn against Richmond; and no student of
the Civil War has overlooked the extensive
and valuable history written by one of these
princes, Comte de Paris. In the autumn of
1861 the young Comte de Paris and his
brother, the Due de Chatres. arrived in the
United States, and at Washington were cor
daily welcomed by General Mcclellan and
the Federal government. The two brothers
entered the military service of the United
States with the rank Of captains of volun-
teers on the staff Of General Mcclellan.
They stipulated that they should serve
without pay and should be free to resign at
their own pleasure. They served until the
close OF the campaign in June, 1862, when
they returned to Europe. But the interest
OF the Comte de Paris In our Civil War did
NOT end here. He became critical student
OF the war, aud has given to the world the
most satisfactory history of the great con-
fict yet published. Belonging to one of the
royal families of France, and being the FORE
most representative of the line that has the
clearest title to whatever relics of the French
throne may have survived Waterloo and
Sedan, the Comte de Paris has been regarded
by the republican government of his country
as person whose residence in France would
be inimical to republican institutions. With
other influential French princes he was BAN

A TERRACED PASS.
Engineer Perris Makes the Caion Pass
Washout Proof.

Fred. T. Perris, the chief engineer OF
the Santa Fe company's railroads in
Southern California, told HERALD re-
porter, yesterday, of the work which had
been done in the Cajon pass, to prevent
the road bed from being washed by the
winter rains. The track is well ditched
and provided by cross drains, and above
it, for distance extending, in length,
over 800 feet, the mountain side is ter
raced five times, the top of each terrace
being planked. These roofs will throw the
storm water off, instead of permitting it
to carry away masses of earth on the
track below. The work has cost a large
amount of money, but the same amount
was lost, in damage and delay, almost
every time there was storm in the pass
last winter.
Mr.. Perris also stated that work is
we'll under way on the Belt line, which
is to extend from San Bernardino to
Highlands, Cranes, Mentone, Redlands
and back to San Bernardino. The line
will be completed by January first, and
will encircle some of the richest rancho
country in Southern California. For
example, at Cranes is located an orange
orchard which last year yielded $1,7O0
per acre.

ITS NAME Is CHALCID.
THE FLY LITTLE FLY WHICH DES
TROYS RED SCALE.
AS Result of It's Presence There is Sew
enty-fve Per Cent. Less of the Red
Scale in San Gabriel than Last Year
Colonel Dobbins Talks About 1t.

''Its first name is not known, but its
family name is Chalcid'', said Colonel
j. r. Dobbins of San Gabriel to HERALD
reporter yesterday. The Colonel was
talking about the little fly which is eat
ing up all the red scale bugs on the
orange trees in the San Gabriel valley
orchards.
Eyes, it is really getting away with
the red SCALE" he continued. "Around
San Gabriel there is now at least seventy
five per cent less red scale than there
was year ago, and think the decrease is
all due to the Chalcid. This fly little fly
lays its eggs right on the scale of the
red scale, and when the grubs hatch,
they bore into the vermillion hued
rascal and live on it's contents. The fly
is very small, but like the Vedolea, does
its work thoroughly.
"Alex Craw of the Horticultural com
mission, is investigating the fly, and will
soon have ready considerable informa-
ton about it. He has hatched some
fine larvae I sent him which | found on
my trees. AS to remedy for the red
scale, orange growers are all right again,
and can expect prosperity henceforth." "

The Effects of Mental Exhaustion.

Many diseases, especially those Of the ner-
vous system, are the products of daily renewed
mental exhaustion Business avocations
often involve an amount of mental wear and
tear very prejudicial to physical health and
the professions, if arduously pursued, are no
less destructive to brain and nerve tissue. 1t
is one of the most important attributes of Hos
for this undue loss of tissue. and that it imparts
new energy to the brain and nerves. The rap
idity with which it renews weakened mental
energy and physical vitalityis remarkable and
shows that its invigorating properties are of
the highest order Besides increasing vital
stamina, and counteracting the, effects of
mental exhaustion, this potential medicine i;

and uterine weakness and othericomplaints.
Physicians also commend it as a medicated
