WE AND CANADA.

There are indications that the annexa-
ton Of Canada to the United States
will soon work itself into an issue that
will have to be put to some sort of
practical test in the not distant future.
The agitation is being worked up on
both sides of the northern boundary. A
newspaper HAS been recently established
in Canada with the openly avowed object
of booming the annexation idea, and on
this side the border the New YORK Sun
has espoused the same cause with all
the ardor that paper usually pursues It's
ideas, or its idiosyncrasies, and a follow
ing of lesser lights has already fallen
into line. The majority of the substan-
tial papers on this side of the interna-
tional boundary favor some sort of a
union, while majority on the other
side seem at present to favor the contin-
ned semi-autonomy of the present
regime in Canada.
II is difficult to determine how far the
annexation sentiment has progressed in
Canada, since very large proportion of
il is speechless because Of the furious
cries of treason raised by the pro
Canadian press whenever there is any
indication that free speech may be in
dulged in. The establishment of the
organ Of annexation may, if il proves I,
be n strong and consistent organ, offer q
vent for the suppressed sentiment FOL
union with the United States.

difference of opinion and demands mos

dozen horses being led across the side
walk pv n colored boy. The horses were
comfortably blan keted and | saw that the
bow was trying to lead them into black

o'clock at night. One refractory, small
horse gave him some trouble, but he
finally got them In and i looked inside
and was surprised to find that there were
about dozen ,r fifteen horses there.
The animals were all tied o rings in
the wall and looked comfortable enough
more comfortable than the blacksmiths.
One of the newest arrivals got his blan-
ket on fire from the forge. put 1t was
easily put out and then the brawnv
wielders of the hammer and tongs began
to examine the horses feet and fit shoes
to some and sharpen the points on the
shoes Of others.
What's the rush?" / asked of the
colored boy who seemed to have charge
of the horses.
"Ice on the ground and will be worse
tomorrow, boss" said he.
At 9:30 l passed the shop again, and
only two OF the horses remained
Thought that was rather fast work for a
couple OF smiths, but was told that
pointinC the shoes could be done very
RAPIDLY. and that they sometimes had
more horses and had to get extra help for
an evening.

It is now claimed by the associated
trades representing the merchants of
New York city that the building of a
bridge from that city to New Jersey and
the completion of the tunnels and rail
roads running to Montauk Point will
make New York only way station
between the West and the shipping city
at Montauk Point.
In this view of the matter the I'M
portance of the subject begins to be
apparent. II is unfortunate that our
citizens take no more interest in our
shipping.
1t would be very easy to turn all this
trade to Rhode Island if only a few of
our large capitalists would move.
The citizens should co operate with
the Consolidated road and see if some
thing cannot be done TO build up
Rhode Island instead of Montauk Point.

THE AUTHORITIEs' RELATION
TO VICE.

1t is evident by recent remarks of Mr..
Hamilton S. Conant that he begins to
understand the difficulties which will
attend the efforts of those who con-
template .he suppression of vice in this
city.
The task assumes greater proportions
as its advocates realize that the
eradication of the open evidence
of vice does not eradicate vice itself
that vice exists not because the author
tiles do not take means to suppress it,
nor because they do not know that os-
tensibly they are elected and appointed
for that purpose; nor yet because so.
ciety itself does not disapprove of it,
but because there are certain forms OF
vice which society has not the moral
courage to actively oppose.
Society, it must be remembered, does
not act as unit on moral and relig-
ious subjects. Each individual acts for
himself and accomplishes only so much
of moral reform as directly bears upon
his personal interests. The layman in
terests himself with his fellow man in
politics because politics mainly concern
his business welfare and because ii is
possible to hire men to perform certain
secular duties. But municipal services
are wholly external in their nature.
The police force deals not with causes
but with effects. They do not deal with
the character of the people but with
their acts. The aim of the moral
reformer is as nearly opposite to this as
can be imagined. He seeks to regener-
ate the depraved nature and works from
within. 1t is the cause, not the effect,
| that he seeks TO remedy
For these reasons, therefore, while
believing that much can be done in the
| line which the society for the suppress
sion of vice has indicated, it is by no
means probable that any such sweeping
reform can be accomplished as seems to
be hoped for Moral reforms are slow
in accomplishment. They are only pos
sible when carried on by those who are
morally active and Influenced by
religious zeal. 1t is very doubt
full il hundred men can
be gotten together who will act as
an enthusiastic and persistent whole
during the long period which will nec-
essarily be required for their purposes.
A much smaller committee would have
had greater chance of success becauseit
could have acted more quickly and
unitedly. Meanwhile the work is pro
crossing favorably and deserves the cor.
dial assistance of every citizen.

CHRISTMAS.
our streets

Tomorrow night, it is safe to assume,
there will be more happiness, In bulk
and in separate parcels, than on any
other single night during the year.
No more appropriate reflection than
this could POSSIBLY be indulged on the
eve of the one great holiday that is cele-
brated by the entire Christian world.
All possible views of Christmas lead to
this. that it is the time for JOY ana
thankfulness and peace and good will
That the modern methods of observ-
Ing the natal day of the person who
brought the gospel of love to man, or
through whom it was made more
sharpely manifest, all tend to the in
crease of the sum OF happiness in the
world is. perhaps, more exactly in har-
mony with the deepest significance OF
the life and teachings of Christ than is
generally conceived.
The sum of manifested love is i'm
mensely augmented each Christmas,
and so the mission that brought the man
from Nazareth into the world and car
ried him to the cross is brought nearer
and nearer toward its fruition.
The Christmas festival is provocative
of reflections that tend to both test aud
strengthen faith. That all the CEN
turies since Christs death have elapsed
with the race no nearer his standard
than it is to-day tends to emphasize the
depths from which the start was made
and the probable extreme length Of life
of man. 1t is evident that the period OF
infancy of the race has scarcely passed
as vet. Those who imagine that the
world is near its end do not consider the
significance of the development of
humanity as demonstrated by the
| Christmas festival.
OF all animals mans period of infancy
is the longest. The duration Of the
world for species of animals is brief in
comparison with the period OF mans
occupation of it, and it may not be very
difficult for the non-scientific to arrive
at the conclusion that by some sort OF
analogical reasoning the belief may be
entertained that mankind is yet scarcely
out Of its period of infancy, If it is in
deed yet out of it.
Christmas has therefore significance
somewhat deeper than its observance
suggests to the superficial, and some
what broader than that given it by its
historical and religious origin. 1t may
seem wide leap from the Christmas
tree TO the destiny of man, but it is in
fact but step, as it is but step from
the most trivial habit of the race to the
most obtruse problems connected will
it. or from the joyous laugh of the chilt
of to-day to the agony on the cross.

reasons for the growth of the annexa-
ton idea in Canada.
If the United States could acquire
comparatively small proportion OF the
territory of Canada we might with
profit take it on. A small southeastern
section, the maritime provinces and the
rich and neglected Saskatchewan valley
i'm the west is about all that Canada can
offer to MS that is of itself actually worth
the having. Some other portions OF the
Canadian territory may be capable OF
development, and there is some profit to
be got from the more unpromising Sec
tions.
There are some very large and diff
cult problems that stand in the way OF
equitable and profitable union. What
disposition could be made, for example,
of the Canadian Pacific railway This
government would not care to pursue
the policy that has made it menace
to the internal commerce OF this
country. 1t could not do it, but without
it the great system would wreck Itself
As trans continental transportation
factor it could not stand upon even
terms with the other great systems. If
piracy was denied to it it could not live.
There are other problems as perplexing
which would involve the sacrifice of
almost fabulous sums of money, 70 say
nothing of the social and economic
conditions that would be wrenched and
wrecked.
While the sentiment Of continental
unity is very pretty it remains to be
demon strated that ii is practical.
