CANADIAN RELATIONS.

Annexation sentiment is growing across The
Northern border. The thousands Of Canada :
best workers who have found prosperity in
Now England and New-York have taught their
fellow countrymen to look for individual and
national wealth in this direction. Two thou
nrd Canadian Liberals have met in convention
mt Ottawa and adopted a platform with strong
leanings toward trade relations with the United
States, much more intimate than have ever
been contemplated by the party in power, which
has been AZ work striving - build up the sem
blance of naticn at whatever cost TO the
Canadian producer OF raw materials by his
being shut out from his best market. More
significant, however, than any formal action Of
the convention was the spirit which was mani
tested at its sessions. Not cheer was raised
in response to appeals for the continuance OF
the present relations with the mother country
Imperial Federation found 10 advocates while
storm of applause greeted declarations in
favor OF independence, and demonstrations only
less warm signified approval Of the idea Of
annexation to the United States.
Left to itself this sentiment is bounl to grow.
The selfshness of Canadian leaders. anxious TO
maintain their own powe~. and stupid legisa
ton on this side Of the Great Lakes may de-
lay but they can hardly prevent that scnti-
mcnt from prevailing al last At present the
Canadian influences do not seem to be making
for delay. The Conservatives, even though in
power, are not happy. The appointment, by
Mr.. Gladstone of the Earl of Aberdeen as Gov
crnOr-General of Canada is not pleasing to

INDIES STOPPAGE or COINAGE

The stoppage OF free silver coinage in India,
though it evidently brings crisis in the silver
question. does not appear to mean as much as
some suppose. In explaining this step the
Marquis of Lansdowne, the Viceroy of India,
stated to the Council that the object was rather
to prevent further fall in exchange than to
raise the value Of the rupee, and that fixing a
provisional rate of exchange at 6 pence pro
yided an automatic means OF preventing the
closing of minis and the violent disturbance
of exchange This seems to mean that the
Indian Government is prepared to purchase and
coin as it may think expedent at rate pro-
visonalIy set for the present at two-thirds OF
the nominal value of the rupee, which is "a
pence. But this provisional valuation is not
intended to fix fictitious value for silver, nor
would any attempt be iaade for the present to
establish legal-tender price for gold. These
explanations modify to an important extent the
notion that the Indian Government will cease
TO take silver from Europe at all or that it will
proceed to buy and import the vast amount OF
gold which would be needed if that metal were
made the sole legal tender in local Transactions.
In fact, the Viceroy distinctly declared that
ait was not proposed to substitute gold for
silver coinage"
The sudden and sensational fall in the price
of silver to 35 pence at London and 10
here is probably due in part to misapprehen-
sion about the action Of the Indian Govern
ment yet it remains the fact that the step
taken is for international purposes dcmonetiza
ton of silver by the one country which has
been the largest purchaser of silver for actual
monetary use. If it were conceivable that India
would cease to take third of the worlds sup
ply the purchases Of the United States would
be Insignificant in their influence, and no one
could set limits to the fall in price which would
result. Doubtless the financial effect Of this
action by the Indian Government may for a
time be in large degree as il the shipments
If silver to India were wholly discontinued
The price may fall seriously, until the worlds
production has been diminished. Already Il ID

Justice in Brooklyn. Not long ago "raho
Jury indicted large number OF public oihclalS
for combining to plunder the city ana county
in the Columbian celebration. Inc fac's oil inc
robbery were notorious and incoh'>'dp'c'
ILLEGAL contracts had been made without ad-
vortisomen, and competition. The appfoprla-
tions were approved in direct violation of law.
paddo1 bills rocking with fraud were Sanctioned
and paid without being presented IN items ana
audited rs the charter requires. Tn their race
the Columbian bills were barciacod loD ana
steal But rs soon as the Grand jury had
fastened the responsibility upon officials ana
contractors the Legislature was approached
and importuncd to condone the rascal'ly Al
first there was a spasm Of virtue On llc p''
of Governor Flower which prevented me pas

il was enacted with loud proic>t1Iion' tha'
there was no intention of di,crediting The work
Of the Grand Jury or of interfering in any way
with the prosecution OF the indicted officials
After protracted delay one of the contractors
was nut on trial and prosecuted in half
hearted way with n disagreement Of the jury
rs the result. Then Alderman Mckee was
tried and acquitted outright greatly 10 the
delight OF the ring and gang The jury
which were responsible for this astonishing re-
suit considered it necessary to vindcaic thcm-
selves before the public. They united in sign
ing a document setting forth that. while they
were compelled by the evidence and the Judge :
charge to acquit the Alderman. they were con
ynchd that great fraud had been practi,cd
up,n the city, and were unwilling to have the
acouittal prejudice in any way the prosecution
and punishment Of those who were really guilty
4 more amazing presentation was never madc
in an office Of justice. A jury after Acquiring
an accused official declare their belief That INC
CITY was robbed, and di>claim all intention OF
blocking the course of justice
The District-AttorEey may be puzzled to
know whether these twelve good men and true
think that he tried to convict the Alderman IN
