heavy. An unknown Italian was run

In Tnxnr of Union.

ST. JOHN, n. b., March ia resolu-

legislature favoring the union of tha
province of New Brunswick, Nova
Scotia and Prince Edward Island The
matter is not considered a live issue,
for, though a majority of public men
and the citizens generally would vote
in favor of the principle of union, it
seems to be taken for granted that the
movement would fail when it comes
to the question of the location of the

Our personal friend, James B.
Menager, is as usual, tearing his
shirt, and spending his time and
money, aiding the Republican party.
We would like to ask the question,
how he can do SO, in the face of the
fact that his party has SO repeatedly
slapped him in the face when he
asked a nomination at their hands2
When they r in distress they al

Menager has been a badly treated

does not resent the prosecutions and
repeated insults.

ToRoNTo, Oct. 19.-The World. N of
the strongest supporters of the Domin-
ion government, in an editorial on the
annexation movement, says:
Enumeration can not ever be without
strife. Agreat 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 undeniable 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 as sure
as annexationists persist in their present
methods strife viii come. When strife,
civil strife, breaks out, it breaks out un-
e~xpectedly and in unlooked-for places,
but it will come. Let these men, then,
understand whittier they are drifting.
If they are wise they will cease troub-
ling, or they will seek a place of rest un-

1t is the duty of every voter in
the county to be at the polls on
election day, and to cast his vote as
to him seems best for his future
welfare and the welfare of his coun-
try and the nation. Ifyou approve
of the Republican system of tariff
that is a robbing you every day in
the year and are infavor of bayonets
at the polls, and mixed schools, why
don't fail to vote the Republican
ticket. On the other hand, if you
are in favor of tariff reform and op-
posed to bayonets at the polls and
mixed schools, you will vote the
Democratic ticket. Weigh these
things well and vote right.

Tuesday contained the subjoined
statement, letters and afidavits in
relation to the somewhat celebrated
pension case with which candidate
Caldwell's name has been associated
during this campaign:
Isaac NJ. Davis was a West Vir-
ginia soldier and his comrades says
he was a good one, serving both in
the infantry and calvary services.
After the war he continued a good
citizen as he had been a good sol.
dier in the war. In due course of
time he applied for a pension. Be
fore the matter reached a determi-
nation he died. leaving a widow and
four minor children entitled to a
pension under the law. His widow
applied for a pension, and while it
"a pending she died. At this time,
in the year 1890, Rev. G. T. Cald
we'll appeared On the scene. He
had a taste or two of the profits OF
dalliance with pension money, and
he applied to the Court to be APP
pointed guardian for the four minor
children of the dead soldiers widow.
There was no opposition to the APP
pointment and he qualified and gave
bond, and as such guardian he re
ceived from the government PEN
sion money belonging to these
children. These dates and amounts
