ANNEXATION sENT1MENTIN CANADA

ANNEXATION SENTIMENTIN CANADA
1t can scarcely admit of doubt that the
annexation movement is in Canada has
been making great strides of late. A
few months ago the fear of being stigma
tized an q traitor was potent enough to
keep the mouths closed of those who at
heart were in favor of political union
with the United States, But this fear
has suddenly ceased to be effective. The
ice having been broken by Mr., Myers in
the Montreal debate, plenty of men and
newspapers are coming forward and en-
dorsing more or less completely his
views. OF course the ultra-Tory papers
are Justify shouting traitors, and darkly
insinuating that something dreadful is
liable to happen to people who sympa-
thize with political union, but these
sheutings and thfeatenings appear to dis
turb nobody.
The annexation sentiment is by no
means confined to Quebec, but seems to
be spread all over the Dominion. The
truth appears to be that there has
been considerable of it for a long while
past and that it Las been prevented
from making itsolr heard by fear of per-
sonal punishment, The Tillsonburg
Liberal, which is published in the Prov
ince of Ontario, declares that political
union is fast becoming something more
than plaything." Itsays it is fully
convinced that Canada has hung on to
the Old Worlds apron string long
enough" The St. John Telegraph says
that lit seems to be pretty generally ac-
copied, not only in Montreal, but
throughout Canada, that the present re-
lations between the Dominion and the
Mother Country cannot be very long
maintained while the Globe of the
same city declares that Sin a very short
time this country will be alive with the

In the December number of the Forum
appears the results of DR.. Rice's investi-
CATION of the schools of st. Louis and OF
Indianapolis-St. Louis repre- senting the
evil effects of mechanical supervision,
and Indianapolis the beautiful results OF
some of the best school-room work done
in the world, which is described in
detail. Confirming the conclusion
reached by DR.. Rice, President Eliot, of
Harvard University, writes on Wherein
Popular Education has Failed-a COM
prehensive review of our educational
work that is among the most thoughtful
productions of this generation. The
Worlds Fair is discussed from two points
of view-from one point of view by Mrs.
Van Rensselaer,, the we'll known writer on
art, to show that the Fair is the
noblest of all object-lessons in art,
by far the most notable specta-
Gle that one may see anywhere on
earth or that men have seen since the
fall of the Roman empire. Rev. John
w, Chadwick, following Bishop Potter's
notable article in the October Forum,
tells why Congress must rescind its ac-
ton and the Fair must be opened on Sun
day-an argument based on a reverence
for Sunday, but offering plea for free
dom. Another timely group of articles
is on the Problems of Poverty.

THE PREsrDENT,s MESSAGE,

IT the recent election served to shake
the faith of any Republican in the sound
ness of the principles of his party, Pres
ident Harrison is certainly not that Re-
publican. His annual message, which
was sent to Congress yesterday, contains
a powerful reiteration of those economic
principles which have constituted the
basis of governmental policy during the
almost uninterrupted ascendancy of the
Republican party for the last thirty
years. 1t contains an apparently
conclusive demonstration of the sound
ness of those principles from the in
crease of national wealth and prosperity,
and of opportunities for employment and
increased remuneration to the work
ingman. Our Democratic friends will of
course sheer at this part Of the message
as special plea for the Republican
party. Yet they cannot gainsay the
correctness of the facts and figures
which constitute the basis of that plea
and which are in fact the substance of
the plea. 1t was highly appropriate at
this time when. if the Democrats live up
to their professions, we are on the eve of
radical change of policy that the ex-
ecutive head of the government
should point out the almost
phenomenal prosperity which the country
is now enjoying, and the conditions un-
der which it has come about. A warn
ing from ? Republican President will
probably be wasted on the triumphant
and headstrong Democracy, but it was
none the less the duty Of President
Harrisonto give it,
The Presidents recommendation that
the present Congress shall change
none of the existing economic conditions
probably foreshadows what his policy
will be if that recommendation is dis
regarded and indicates that any
radical tariff measures will encounter
his veto. He rightly insists that the
new departure which the Democracy an
nounced in it's platform shall be taken
if taken at all, by the new Congress and
the new executive which were chosen on
the strength of that platform. Repub-
lica will with substantial unanimity
concur in this view.
The Presidents synopsis of the condi-
ton of the various departments shows
them all to be in good shape, and in
dicates that the government will
be turned over to the victorious
Democracy strong in all it's parts, and
with the people generally prosperous
and contented. The Democracy will
have reason for congratulation if two
years hence after they shall have dosed
the country with their medicine, their
official representatives can truthfully
present SO bright a picture of the con-
dition of the country and the efficiency
of the government as President Harri-
son has been able to do in this, his last,
annual message.

Now that Mr.. Cleveland has returned
to civilization from the duck-frequented
marshes of Exmore we presume he will
give his attention to the fierce dispute
going ON between the New York Mug
wumps and the Democrats as to whether
the election of Mr.. Edward Murphy Jr.
to the United States Senatorship will be
'.blow' to him or not. 1t is certainly
high time that this question was settled
for the disputants are getting into frame
of mind that may lead to an interchange
of blows between the brethren in which
case the 1900 Mugwumps would be likely
to perish from the earth, Nobody wants
tho Mugwumps to perish, They are a
very interesting people, and never more
SO than now when they are in the act of
trying to make themselves and the pub
lie believe that they carried New York
for Cleveland.

been generally supposed that the unso-

Patti Sang for the Parrot.

In her castle at Craig-y-Nos Nine.
Patti has a $4,000 parrot, which she
cherishes and pets rs if it were a child.
One day there went to interview Patti a
young man who had travelled long and
far to view the beautiful Craig-y Nos
palace. "Mne. Patti will be here in a
moment" said the door attendant.
Just then there was rustic of skirts
and Mime. Patti swept into room ad-
joining. In minute the most beauti-
full, birdlike notes rose upon the air, un-
mistakably from PATHS throat.
''She is singing to me" said the de-
lighted listener to himself, land she is
too modest to come in and sing directly
before me. She wants me to hear her
as she sings at home. Oh, what JOY to
have this privileged"
At this moment the heavy draperies
were pulled aside and the attendant
said:
."You may wait upon Nine. Patti

son to her parrot. She teaches him
every day. This way, sir, if you please.
