SIR HECTOR LASGEvIS. served 80 years in
the cabinet and has a very large person
al following. His friends are now OF
the opinion that he was made 4 scape-
goat in the McGreevy matter, and they
are anxious for him 20 return to public
life. Sir Hector has always been loyal
subject OF the queen, and in recent in
tervlew on the subject of Canadian in
dependence and annexation he expressed
himself as follows:
Il contend that Independence for US
means absorption. Some say that san-
nexatIon could not take place otherwise
than by treaty made freely by both
countries according to their mutual in
terests and wishes What freedom could
independent Canada expect with its
1,OOO,OOO Of people from the United
States and their 20, OOO, 900 of population?
am therefore of opinion that any
treaty in such case would be dictated
10 the weak nation by the powerful one.
THE annexation Of our country to the
United States would not promote the
commercial prosperity or general well
fare OF Canada or of the province of Que
Doc. 1t would at once take away from
us our best customer. The tariff OF the
United States would become ours. Our
manufactures and industries would be
IN competition with those Of the United
States. Canada would be flooded with
the manufactured goods of our great
neighbors, and very soon our own manu-
factories and industries would disappear
or fall into the hands of the Americans
of the United States.
I'VE are better off with our present
position. We deal ourselves with our
own tariffs. We may change them when
we please. We have all the advantages
of an independent state without its dan
gers and without many of its burdens.
Annexation would mean that in case OF
war our soldiers would have to soto any
part of the United States for their de-
lenses. We would have to contribute to
their army, navy, general administra-
ton Of the Union and embassy and con-
sular expenses. My opinion is that in
stead of improving our position we
would be worse off. When our popula-
ton has increased to % ,000, 900 or 3d.
900, then may be the time to consider
what changes may be made in our polit-
ical position. a nation of %, 000, 900 or
10000, 900 of people could not be alb
sorbed as one of 5000, 600"

THE PUBLIC PARK
TO BIB LAID OFF AROUND THE COURT HOUSE
. AND CITY HALL
A Joint Meeting of COuncilmsn and Commissioners
Last Eyening-Bids Asked Fer This
Morning-TwO Sets Of
Plans.

The Council Committee on Real Es-
tate and the Committee on Court House
and Jail Of the Board Of Commissioners
met in joint session, at the Court House,
last evening, with Assistant City En-
gineer White, for the purpose OF decld-
ing upon something definite for the i'm
proyement In the way Of walks and
grass plots to be laid off around the
Public Building.
Two sets of plans were before to joint
session, one prepared some time ago in
the City Engineers Office, calling for
gracefully curved stone walks, and a
new one, but recently completed, hav-
ing all the walks straight ones, the
only curves being those unavoidable
ones about the Paxton fountain and the
| Soldiers monument. This second plan
was prepared upon an objection urged
to the first one, that cutting the stones
now on the pavement TO lit the curves
would entail great deal OF costly
labor, and at the same time consume a
much larger proportion OF the stone
than IL the walks were straight, the
county desiring TO have enough stone
| left to lay down stone sidewalk around
the new Jail building, while the city
hoped to sell enough of It's surplus flags
to defray the expenses OF the improve
ment on It's part.
Engineer White explained the merits
of the two plans, calling attention to
the fact that the drawing showing
curved lines was tht most artistic, and
saving that when the ,endeavor was to
have something permanent and beautl-
! full, it was not good idea TO adopt an
ugly plan to save little labor or few
stone.
The two plans, both Of which were
| we'll gotten up, were discussed for quite
a while, and then it was agreed to ask
for bids this morning for doing the
work according to both plans. that an
idea might be obtained OF the difference
In the cost. The bids are to be In by
seven o'clock next Tuesday night, and
the work, so far as the stone walks are
concerned, must be completed by June
| LIST.
AS to the soil and sod. proposition
was before the Committee from one
gentleman to supply soil on board Elm
Grove cars In exchange for the sand re-
moved from under the stones, and this
will probably be accepted, leaving the
only outlay the expense Of transferring
the earth and the purchase and laying
of the sod. 1t it the idea Of the Com
mIttee not to disturb any stones except
those to be removed to make way for
grass plots, the designs for walks
being chaIked out on the pavement as
II now is, and as few stones removed as
possible.

Pedestrians who passed the corner OF

the source OF the awful stencil which

delectation of a quartette OF friends.
Once-alas, that "once too often"-the
coin slipped through his fingers, and
rolled across the street, into the sewer.
All were cautioned TO keep their lips
sealed, fearing that some ambitious
youth might explore the hidden depths
and capture the prize. About three
o'clock yesterday morning, an exploring
expedition was organized. Armed with
a bucket and shovel provided by a
eighboring restaurant, the hole was
approached. Two stalwart police men
stood guard to warn pedestrians Of the
danger OF inhalIng the microbes which
were set In motion by the shovel. Sun.
