THE EOCHGRADY VAR on TIE PULPIT.

The unbonndcd assurance OF Excise Com
missioner Koch is one of the most amazing
cyamrlcs of Tammany cifrontcry and impu-
dcnce that this town has yet seen. Here is a
man who was indicted for a plain violation
of law. lie did not dare to meet jury of his
fellow-citizcns on the merits of the case, but
sncaked out Of trial on tcchnicality. Then
by rascally Tammany trick bill was furtve-
Is pushed through the Legislature by which
commissioner Koch escaped trial on the facts
and the evidence. His conviction was GER
tain if the case had been properly prosecuted,
fer his violation Of the law was the plalnest
possible.
The Rev. Thomas Dixon, jr., in recent SER
mon told some plain truths about this disrepu-
table Tammany Excise Commissioner. MIR. Koch
goes 10 Police Justice Grady and gets war
rant for the arrest of the Rev. Mr.. Dixon on a
charge Of criminal libel Everybody knows the
history of Grady and knows that his appoint
ment rs n Police Justice was one of the most
Infamous appointments made by Actual Mayor
Croker through Nominal Mayor Grant. Mr..
Grady was in imminent danger of going to
Ludlow Street Jail for his failure to pay board
bin at the very time when he was appointed
a Police Justice Justice Grady has the au-
dacity to issue warrant for the arrest of n
clergyman on a charge of criminal libel for
telling the truth about Excise Commissioner
Koch, the Tammany Commissioner who has
been doing everything that he could do to
encourage liquor-dealers to disobey the plain
letter of the law which requires them to close
their dramshops on Sundays.
Police Justice Grady has made great blum

concerned Canada already is mistress OF It's own

look OUT FOR THE TROLLEY!

Tho latest street railroad developments arc de-
cidedlv interesting. The owners OF the BROAD

of a nuisance as they ever were, and the trolley
is no better adapted to thcl'ly populated citH

CANADIAN ANNEX1TION CRY.

wTbc Toronto Irish Canadian" has startled
tho nblic on the northern side of the border
NV boldly advocating annexation with the
United States. In its issue OF last week IL
urges the Liberals " to summon up courage 10
anneal to the debt laden and distressed people
of Canada to throw off the rags and tatters OF
colonialism and put on the garments OF state
hood as part and parcel of the great Repub-
lic;, Talk of this kind was frequently heard
in Canada twenty-fv years ago, when an
ncxation clubs were in existence In nearly all
the Provinces but the movement declined
whom confederation was shown by cir JOhn
Macdonald to he practical scheme for uniting
tho Canadian people, and when the policy OF
railway -building from ocean to ocean seemed
an earnest of material progress and industrial
dovelopment Successive trlumphs OF the
Conservatives have offered superficial evidence
Of the stability and popularity of confedera-
ton and the Liberal party, which was once
half-inclined to favor annexation, has been
forced TO content itself with af-hearted
advocacy of commercial union. The anneXa-
tion movement has seemed spent force for
MANY wears. For this reason the revival of
the agitation by public journal in Toronto is
significant sign OF the times.
The annexationist agtator outlines the future
of Canada under American institutions. There
would be no creature of some English noble
family fosted on us to strut about as a repre-
sentative of European sovereignty at big cost
TO Canadian taxpayers Senile rawlings of
ROYALTY would cease and colonial dependence
upon n Power across the seas and upon time
serving hunters" at home would give
place to republican government and the reign
of the common people. Farm lands would rise
in value, mines now undeveloped would be
opened and, best of all benefits, Canadians
would find field of enterprise and labor at
home instead of ilocking as they are now doing
over the border into New England, NewYork,
Michigan and Minnesota.
Ii is the material side of the argument which
has weight. There would be no disposition
to complain of the Imperial connection and the
appointment Of a foreigner as Governor 6 en-
eral II Canada were prospecting and retaining
