rupted highway across the continent and
new route to India that European
powers could scarcely trouble. Nor
need we of the United States entertain
jealousy of these conditions. There is
room upon the continent for both the
Canadians and ourselves as separate peo-
pies; we have no cause whatever to antici-
pate any elbowing. Mutual strength and
close commercial relations viii insure
amity, and, moreover, that condition of
affairs will, as now, be guarantee OF
peace between Great Britain and the
United States.
Some of these views William Henry
Hubert has treated in a recent trench
ant essay, in which he declares that even
the warmest advocates of annexation in
Canada deem their cause quite hopeless.
But there are quite as many reasons to be
advanced against annexation which Mr..
Hubert does not touch upon, as those he
treats. Some of these we have referred
to, and others suggest themselves, but it
is not necessary to catalogue them now.
1t is sufficient to know that there is not,
and is not likely to be, any strong de-
mand on this side Of the line for Canadian
annexation and the expansion Of our ter

NO ANNEXATION.

The dispatches describe large annexa-
ton meeting held in Canada, and tell of
the unity and enthusiasm of those pres
ent in favor of political union with the
are being held on this side the line, and
the most strenuous effort has failed TO
awaken our people to any degree of en-
thusiasm upon the subject or TO create a
desire to enlarge our territory In fact
the American people are not demanding
that any steps looking towards annexa-
tion be taken or that any thought in that
direction shall be given to the matter a
few enthusiasts break forth now and
then and dwell upon the beauties of
union and the power annexation would
give us. But no mentionable portion of
the people have been touched deeply by
the picture drawn.
If we should absorb Canada, as the
unionists think we should, we would
have to erect not less than eight or nine
States out of her territory. At the lowest
ewould thus add sixteen new members
to the Senate and some thirty or thirty
five to the House of Representatives.
These would serve to destroy familiar
political checks and balances, and for a
long time we would be without chart or
compass upon the political sea.
There would be injected into our poll
ties the French Canadian with the church
strapped to his back; we should have old
prejudices to which we are strange
thrown into our social and educational
questions; we would have some four
millions of people added to our system
who are ignorant of our political issues,
and would be unable to grapple with
them understandingly for a decade.
The interests of the United States and
of the Dominion alike demand that the
latter shall become practically an inde-
pendency. Not less is England inter
ested in its independent character, modi-
fed only by those ties OF kinship and oi
political amity that viii keep the Canadas

SAN FRANc1sco,s MISTAKE.

We put the whole case in a nutshell
yesterday in saying that San Francisco
has but one purpose in the present COM
mercial agitation, and that is TO make
that city the one and only point from
which through freights incoming shall be
distributed through the State. If she
could accomplish that end, all the interior
points now recognized as competitive
would become way stations, and the
whole State would sit at the feet of the
tribute-taker.
It is amazing that the merchants of
San Francisco are so shortsighted as not
to see their first, best and greatest inter
est to be in building up and developing
the interior. The more rapidly that is
done the better for San Francisco. That
city should, therefore, do all she can to
enable interior cities to avail Of natural
advantages; to become the seats of trade
for fourishing rural communities, and to
add to and develop the wealth of the in
terror. For San Francisco can be great
city if she has behind her a great
State thickly peopled by the industrious
and prosperous. More depends upon
that for her than upon all possible sales
she can force upon the interior through
the agency of local back haul.
The interior asks nothing more than is
accorded to San Francisco; our competi-
tive points we insist shall remain abreast.
While, because of less length of haul,
Sacramento might justly ask for a lower
rate on Eastern supplies, she never has
preferred and never viii advance that
claim. All she now enjoys is hers by
recognition, on the part of the great car
rier lines, of a natural condition. San
Francisco would have that condition ig-
nored and Sacramento destroyed as a de-
pot Of supply in order that the metropolis
may fatten by concentration of all trade
at that place. Under such a policy San
Francisco would undoubtedly prosper,
temporarily, but as it would lessen the
purchasing power of every dollar in the
interior used to procure supplies, in the
long run San Francisco would suffer by
the retarded growth of the interior.
She ought to be able to see that her true
policy is to conserve every agency that
will strengthen and enrich the interior
from which in the main her vitality now
is and forever must be derived

CoNTEMPoRANEOUs with the announce
ment Of the special uses to which the
British Government proposes to put the
Canadian Pacific road in transporting
troops and supplies for the Eastern Hemi
sphere and for new border military posts,

land will ever find it worth while to go to
war with each other. But the need is far
greater for the United States to better
fortify her chief ports than it is for Eng
land to make military highway across
this continent. Evidently England does
not mean to relax any vigilance in pre-
serving her defenses, or in keeping he
offensive arm up to standard. Yester-
days dispatches announced that Lord
Salisbury has preferred an urgent demand
upon the Dominion for a report of the
militia strength and resources of the Can
adas. Certainly our British cousins are
not going to be caught mapping in case of
any difficulty between the nations of the
globe. They are preparing not only to
transport armies, but to put the empire

THE SILVER QUESTION AN ISSUE,

Now that a session of Congress is so
near at hand, it is becoming more and
more evident that the free coinage scheme
is to be an issue that will be second in
importance to no other. Many party
men who dissent from party declarations
upon the silver question insist that the
question is not genuine issue in which
party is to be involved, because both OF
the great party memberships are divided
in opinion as to the true policy to be
adopted. But the truth is that party
managers cannot ignore it i'll their con-
sideration Of party work. 1t is not
now a party issue because each party
is divided upon it. Nevertheless it
concerns policy upon which party dec
claration must be unequivocal, if party
is to maintain any hold whatever upon
the voting people.
Politicians are mere pretenders or cow
ards who cannot see in the signs OF the
hour that people will Judge with severity
those political organizations that attempt
to straddle the question. In the declara-
tions of that leading Democrat, Mr.. Mills
of Texas, heretofore free-c coinage advo-
cate, that he is now convinced that free
coinage will not prove of benefit to
farmers, or debtors or labor. there is a
change of front full of meaning. Mr.
Mills would not have abandoned his old
footing had he not been a shrewd poll
tician, for it is to be noted that he does
not pledge himself not to reoccupy his
initial position at some time in the future.
He wishes now simply to treat the ques-
ton as settled by the peoples opinion,
and therefore of small Importance in
party management.
In Now York the Democratic party has
milk-and- water silver plank in its
! platform, one that free-coinage men may
accept because the timidity of its express
sion justifies doubt OF its sincerity. In
! Nebraska the Republican party has de-
cIared itself satisfied with matters as they
stand, but year ago it was for free coin
age, though it attempted to mask the real
meaning of the plank. The Democratic
| party in Massachusetts did not attempt to
| face in two directions upon this question
OF free coinage, but declared unequivo-
cally against it. shaming the New York
| Democrats who feared to speak their mind,
because it might give more prominence
! to the division within the party. The
| Nebraska Democrats and the Colorado
Republicans have spoken plainly in adj
vocacy of free coinage, and have thus en-
phasized the radical division on the sub
! ject within party lines.
With these facts before them, how can
party men have the effrontery to declare
that the question is Of secondary import
ance? Its not. as between the ambitions oi
the Democratic and Republican parties tc
| rule, an issue, but with the people it is {
clearly defined one, and abreast with the
tariff question, and so directly related tC
national policy that national parties are
| cowardly that attempt to ignore it.

who is unhappy because The architect did
not arrange the interior of her house just
as she wanted it. This is common com
plaint. Il pay you to do what | want, -
seems to be the attitude of many other
wise sensible people toward an architect.
But when the same people cali in ply

that attitude. 'The fact is" says the
Transcript, that people who would not
think that they could treat case OF
typhoid fever better than Il physician, OF
conduct million-dolIar lawsuit better

ficulty in believing that they can build a
