TORONTO, Ont, Feb 19-Sir John Mac
donald's party finds difficulty in making
headway against what it calls the annex
alton movement. The advantages held
out for free trade with the United States
are thought TO be better than can be Oh
tained by any other plan, and in cOnse-
quence the Liberal policy Of unrestricted
reciprocity is daily gaining strength. The
cry that England is indifferent to Canadian
interests and would oppose nothing
short of political union with the
feeling which to some extent exists that
England has not always sustained Canada
in the fisheries dispute with Americans.
Trade IN Canada was never so depressed as
it is now. If the Liberals win the election
1t will be due 10 the eXigencies of trade
and the necessity to secure at almost any
cost markets for the ever increasing pro
ducts of the colony. Sir John Macdonald
and Sir Charles Upper are both here to-
day. The former Is apparently in failing
health and is unable to take part in the
campaign. Sir Charles Tupper says he
would not have cpme but it was case of
the integrity of the empire being at stake.
The Empire, the government organ, de
clares that unrestricted reciprocity with
the United States is nothing less tuan
compulsion, and congratulates the Com
mercial Union Interests on the adoption
Of their principles by the Liberal party.
The Empire says:
Can ada is anxious and willing TO trade
with the United States on fair terms, but
not on surrender terms; and above all IL is
anxious not TO interfere with the growing
market in England for our cheese, cattle,
meats. fruits, and all the most profitable
of our farm products"

and an excellent workman. When Kiblin2
first came to the institution he talked very
freely about his eentence, but of late has
said very little. He has very frequently
told Warden Richmond that be expected
TO be pardoned after serving few months,
but the warden has cautioned him not To be
too hopeful. At the December term of the
Windsor county court he was convicted of

Si VFR DOLLAR BLAND.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 19.-Congressmun Bland
has written a letter to one of his constitu-
ents, in reference to Mr.. Cleveland's anti
free coinage letter. Mr. Bland concludes
his epistle as follows:
II do not see how the Democratic party can
indorse free coinage and at the same time
indorse Mr. Cleveland. Nor do | see how
our party can do otherwise than demand
free coinage in its national platform.
People may admire Mr. Cleveland's cour-
age and honesty; but I see nothing TO be
gained by our people by admiring the
courage and honesty OF man who stands
in the way of their prosperity and rejects
their demands for the money OF the constl-
tuition. 50 necessary to give Us healthy
circulating medium, now demanded espe-
cially among the agricultural classes. The
fight of the south and west against Wall
street is on, and Mr.. Cleveland cannot
stem the tide"
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19-The southwest
ern Democrats have not stopped talking
about the Cleveland silver letter. One OF
them said today: That letter was un-
doubtedly written TO brace up the three
eastern Democrats, Vaux, Tracy and VIII
cox, on the house coinage committee. IL
was held back until the most critical point.
j ust as il seemed a. if these three Demo
Gratis would have to yield TO pressure and
permit report TO be made on the bill to
tiC muse LulS helOIm CluD mctJlIR was
called and Mr.. Cleveland'S letter appeared.
What has been the effects By the help
OF Naux, Tracy and Wilcox the anti-sil-
yer Republicans still smother the bill in
committee The southern Democrats can
never forget that Mr. Cleveland did not
once raise his voice against the force bill.
That was a measure which meant more 10
us than the silver bill, the tariff and every
thing else. Not only our prosperity but
almost our existence was at stake. We
were fighting it as we have fought no
other Issue. Mr.. Cleveland had not word
10 say"
Don't you know" he continued, "what
that silver question means TO u.s. IL is all
we have to have to hold the farmers in our
party. They don't care so much for tariff
reform. Haven't you observed that the
Farmers Alliance have little or nothing
to say on the tariff question? Their papers
are silent on that. But free coinage of
silver Is the first of their demands. A
of the Missouri delegation said
to me today that if Cleveland is put up the
Democrats can't carry the state in '92. l
will add my candid opinion, and it is that
with Cleveland we can't carry kentucky"

DA'- =. A. DksA6Oo. dorm IN New Ofk
city, Jan 10, 1s4l, entered the University
Of Virginia at the age of l6, and four years
later entered Union seminary, where he
completed a theological course. He was r
member of the famous Seventh regiment,
and served with it during the summer of
1861. He also took theological course in
Germany, and there, as it appears, he &C
cepted some of the conclusions of what is
called "the destructive criticism of the
German school" Here is his position,
given in his own words, in his inaugural
address at the seminary:
There are errors in the Scripture which no
ono has been able to explain away, and the the
ory that there are none in the original text is
sheer assumption upon which no mind can rest
with certainty. The Bible itself nowhere
makes this claim. The creeds of the church
nowhere make it, 1t is a ghost Of modern evan
gelicalism TO frighten children. IL is unwise,
and believe it is unchristian, to force men To
accept the divine authority Of the Bible OF reject
it on the question Of its inerrancy in these cir
cuQstantials.

THE COPYRIGHT BILL.

WASHINGTON, Feb 19.-The status of the
copyright bill passed by the senate yester-
day is not 50 good as its friends desire, nor
so bad as its enemies wish. The attach
ment of three amendments sufticed TO send
the bill back TO the house, and the sena-
tors opposed 10 the bill, realizing that
their continued opposition would no de-
feat the measure on direct vote, aided in
loading IL down with amendments so AS to
handicap il in the house Only one of
these amendments. however. is really OBJ
noXious to the friends of the bill That Is
the Sherman-Carlisle amendment. which
by allowing importation at fixed rates of
duty Of copyrighted works OF foreign au-
thors, threatens at one blow TO divorce
the interests of the publishers
from those of the authors.
The main obstacle lies in the
house. The bill as amended lies on the
speakers table and whenever business on
that table is reached, which may be any
morning, when an appropriation bill does
not intervene, the bin viii be in peculiar
ly fit posi- ion for immediate action. As it
involves no appropriation, when it is laid
before the house any member may as
privilege move TO grant the request of the
senate tor a conference. Ii this motion
prevails the final success of the bill will be
assured. But u G difficulty arising at hat
stage will probably be found in the oppO-
sitiOn of Messrs. Payson and Hopkins of
Illinois, who, il is said, will attempt TO de
feat the motion TO appoint a conference,
and eudeavOr to send the bill back to com
mittee. The copyright men. however, are
preparing to strengthen their forces, and
feel confident that they will be able to
command a majority sufficient TO send the
bill to conference.
