Travel is an excellent thing; it i'm.
proves the mind stimulates digestion
and recreates the body. But in spite Of
those advantages, travel has its disad.
vantages.
man may go the wrong way, or be
may see the wrong things. We do not
refer to 'that bourn from whence no
traveller returns" as the wrong way
Few men are wrong who head that way.
They will never be missed In fact,
what we have to say just now, has little
to do with the route Mr. Jones took, but
with what he saw.
A. B. Jones, who has returned from
an improbable trip to Canada, says:
This howl about Canada wanting to be
annexed to the United States is all bosh.
The people there are as loyal TO the
Queen OF England as we are 10 the Al
mighty.
With courteous respect for Mr. Jones
we wish to say that we don't believe
him. He is myopic, wrong headed,
unpatriotic, un-American, and we doubt
If he even claims to be a Delawarean.
He must have gone to Canada full Of
prejudice, refused TO see things in their
true light while there, and returned here
TO spread discord among united and
harmonious people
Continuing in his reckless and pro
fanely iconoclasiic talk Mr. Jones says
The Canadians Of English, Scotch and
Irish extraction are as loyal AS any sub
iect Queen Victoria has. 1t win be a
long, long time before Canada will be
come part Of the United States.
We have already intimated that we
impeached the veracity of Mr. Jones,
doubted his sincerity and rejected his
testimony. These are grave things to
do, but we have grave reasons for doing
them In a matter Of duty the EVENING
JOURNAL never hesltates It drives it's
piercing darts of ranking words directly
to a mans heart and twists them once or
twice so he will not forget they are
there.
AS all Delaware knows, as all the
world knows for that matter, Senator
Higgins has taken private contract to
annex Canada and sublet the contract
for writing the speeches TO f. Eloquence
Bach, and for speaking the editorials to
Macaulay Downham. These three
Machiavellian philosophers have not
warned canada what they intend to do
hence of course, Mr., Jones may not
have seen any Of the feverish Joy or any
enfeebling fear with which the different
classes Of Kanucks will be struck wher
the still hunt bursts upon them in full
cry. That is part OF the game.
But what we are grieved about, what
we are ashamed Of, what makes us wish
to hurl Mr. Jones's words back into hi.
teeth is the suspicion that he has not
read Senator Higgins's speech announc
ing the annexation of Canadian tn,

Britain and Mr., sperry, (who forgot t
tell the people what a sumner that
speech was) it surely must settle It will

We wish to say TO Mr. Jones that it il

That's all there is about it, and tn,
