TORONTO, Oct. t9.-The World, one of
the strongest supporters of the Domin-
ion government, i'll an editorial on the
annexation movement, says:
Annexation can not ever be without
strife. A great majority of Canadians
are built that way. They would sooner
fight than be part of the United States.
Not that they hate the United States,
but they much prefer to be Canadians
and of the British empire. The United
States is full of tail twisters. The govern
ment of the United States goes into the
tail twisting mania on frequent occa-
sions, and the conspiracy TO discover Ire
land from England has its headquarters
in the United States, These are hard
and undoniable facts He, therefore,
who is a Canadian and argues for an
nexation is arguing for civil war: he is
stirring up civil strife, and just rs sure
ms annexatiouists persist in their present
methods strife win come. When strife,
civil strife, breaks ont, it breaks out un-
eXpeotedlv and in unlooked-for places,
but it will come. Let these men. then,

TRIBULATIONS.
From a.e Hartford Times.

From The Hartford TIMES
She was the prettiest girl, ween.
That mortal eyes had ever seen;
Her name was Annabel Christine,
Her cheeks were smoothed with vaseline'
Her bangs were curled with bandoline.
Her teeth were brushed with fine dentine'
Her face was touched with coaline-
Her gloves were cleaned with gasoline
She wore a dress of grenadine.
Looped DER a skirt of brilliantine;
Her petticoat was bombazine,
Her foot was Shod with kid bottlne,
Her wounds were healed with cosmoline'
She sailed away from Muscatine
In ship they called brigantine;
She firted with gay marine
Till they reached the republic Argentine
Where they were married by dean
And lived on oleomargarine;
Also the mild tin-clad sardine,
And did disturb the Boston bean
When boiled and served in soup tureen.
Salt pork they ate, both fat and lean'
When garnished round with parsley green
And likewise lobster coraline,
With lemons sliced its form to screen.
In short, they lived a king and queen
In manhood's pride and beauty's sheen
For on them there was nothing mean.
His looks and language were serene.
He wore a coat OF velveteen.
She kept her parlor neat and clean,
Her favorite dye was aniline;
She rocked the cradle by machine,
A. -. hi
Yet never was brighter scene
Than when that girl, at sweet sixteen,
Entered the room with naughty mien.

Gigantic Dams in the West.


1t is to be hoped that the gigantic dams
which are being erected in the West for
irrigating purposes are being constructed
solidly enough to insure the safety of the
people living in the valleys below them,
Persons who have never seen an irriSating
dam have but slight conception of their
immensely. The following are the dimen-
sions of four of the largest that have been
completed within the past year: /. The
Walnut Grove Dam, near Prescott, Ariz.,
10 feet high, enclosing $50 acres, with a
capacity of 4 ,OOO,OOO,OOO gallons. 2. The
MERGED Dam, Central California, one mile
long, sixty feet high, $50 acres, capacity
$500, O06,O 900 gallons. 3. Sweetwater
River Dam, near San Diego, Cal, ninety
feet high, 725 acres, capacity 6,OO0,O OO,'
900 gallons. t. The Bear Valley Dam
in San Bernardino county, Cal, is sixty
feet high, enclosing 2250 acres, and vii
hold 10000, 900, 900 gallons of water.

A Nut for Prohibitionists to Crack
For the Democratic Advocate


The above is the heading of an article
which appeared in the Adrocatc of Jan.
End, 1892, and which was previously pub
lished in the Milwaukee Sentinel of Dec.
23rd 1891. 1t was doubtless intended as
defense of the 'Liquor Traffic. " The
writer goes to show by an array of statis-
tics that there are less arrests for drunken
ness and disorderly conduct in Milwaukee
than in various other large cities, which he
mentions. We do not see anything so very
extraordinary about this. Is it strange that
men are not arrested for drunkenness in a
city where, as the writer states, not even
the SUNDAY Law is enforced ? Is it at
all likely, that if, no respect is paid to laws,
which are intended to preserve the sanctity
of the Sabbath, that much attention will be
given those which refer to drunkenness,
etc =?
Again, if the saloon clement in Milwaukee
is 50 formidable, that open dens are per-
mitted even on Sunday, is it not evident
that successful prosecution is difficult? In
stead of injuring the Prohibition cause, as
was doubtless intended, the writer of the
above mentioned article, has succeeded in
showingup Milwaukeein rather bad light.
The Prohibitionists are not easily duped by
such productions as the one in question.
In conclusion we have "a nut to crack in
the following which explains itself.
THE Drink Traffic causes four-ffths Of
all crimes committed in this Country, i'm
nosns unon the neople fully one-half of all
the State, County and Municipal Taxes,
wastes sSOO,OOO,0OO a year in drink, de-
stroys home market for this much of our
American products, incapacitates mentally
and physically half million people for
labor and business, causes three-fourths of
the pauperism in the Country, is response

and imbecility, and does nobody any

Few persons, says the San Francisco
Chronicle, have ever troubled themselves
10 think of the derivation of the word
dollar. 1t is from the German thai (valley),
and came into use in this way some three
hundred years ago. There is a little silver
mining city or district in Northern b.
hemia called Joachimstal, or Joachim's
Valley. The reigning Duke of the region
authorized this city in the sixteenth Gen.
fury to coin silver piece which was call
ed i.joachimsthaler" The word Joachim
was soon dropped and the name "thaler
only retained. The piece,wen into general
use in Germany and also in Denmark,
where the photography was changed to
daler," whence it came into English, and
was adopted by our forefathers with some
changes in the spelling.
