CANADA ONE WITH US.
A Strong Endorsement OF the Programme
of Anne xatlon.

Two years ago Mr.. w. II. Laird. Registrar of
the county OF Agoma, Ontario, in receipt Of
good INCOME assured for life resigned to come
to the United States. He lately expressed his
view of n consolidation between the two coun-
tries in a letter to an old friend in New York,
OF which this is n copy:
DEAR SIR: am strongly in favor of conti-
mental union because believe it would be to the
advantage OF Canada and this country well
as England. OblitcratIng the dividing line
would lead Mt to the deepening Of the st.
Lawrence Canal (Which is too great an under
taking for Canada to attempt alone thus max
ing Duluth and Port Arthur practically sea-
ports This would cause an immense saving in
freight TO all the western parts OF the continent.
1t would give to Canada the advantage of the
accumulated wealth OF this country. and when
the union was effected even Englishmen might
he induced to invest some of the millions in the
der der the stars and Stripes. The United States
would gain access to vast region full OF great
natural wealth. and Canada would have the
advantage of the diversified productions of this
highly favored land that are foreign TO her soil.
An immense saving would be effected in ex-
and smuggling would OF course be at once done
away with. 1t will be impossible to prevent
widespread and demoralizng consequences
should our present relations continue. ltwould
pay unite and thus SSnh nf evil
Though living here, am still a l9Xal Cana
dian. Loyalty consists In endeavorif& to bring
happiness and prosperity to ones country. l
would advocate a change in that direction that
would bring new lifo to Canada; Imperial
federation or independence might better her
condition. continental union certainly would.
This country holds within its borders great
number Of prosperous citizens who hailed from
Great Britain and Canada. and to them IL is no
reproach that they have chosen a republic for
their home. Why, then, should 1t be thought
unseemly in Canada to do that n
whole which all these years her people
have been doing so largely individually?
In this age of rapid dissemination Of ideas,
when the thoughts Of men are wdened with
the process OF the suns" we are beginning 10
understand what loyalty means 1t Is not the
mountains and plains OF ones country that one
holds dear, but the folks and II changing the
color Of the bunting that floats over the land
and enlarging its borders and giving II another
name Is going To give, an increase OF happiness
and prosperity, by all means let us make the
change. Then, in addition to the substantial
benefits that would come To the united country
would follow the certainty of perpetual peace
between this northern, continent and Great
Britain, a moral confederation between these,
the great factors in the advancement OF ciyilza-
tion would be established, and the Anglo-Saxon
would then become the arbitnr OF the worlds
destinies. Yours truly, w. II. LAIRD.

JERSEY MULES ARE THE BEST.
Missouri Has Most Mules OF Any State aad
Texas Comes Next.


There are 100000 mules In the United
States distributed mostly in the South and the
southern border States. In the latter they are
most numerous for the reason, perhaps, that
mules especially servceable in sections OF
tho country where mountains and hills are
many and steep. Mules are more sure-footed,
and better fitted for much labor which would
overtax even the power and endurance of
horse, especially in and about mines. In uum-
ber OF mules, Missouri stands at the head with
$4,000. Then come Texas, the Lone star
State OF big Democratic majorltes with 254,-
900, and third, Tennessee, with 100000. Ten
nessee is usually put at the head OF the States
having Partially for mules, and with good
reason, for in Tennessee mules bear larger
proportion TO the whole population than in any
other State Of the country. Following Tennessee
comes Georgia, and then Kentucky and Missis-
sippi together. In the northwest and In New
England there are very few mules colorado,
In consequence perhaps OF its large mining in

The statistieian of tho Department OF Agricul-

WATER WORkSAGAI

Frank E. Davis, of Sioux City
Iowa, an expert machinists, is IN
the city and is trying to organize
a Company to put in water works.
Mr.. Davis proposes to take a fifth
of the stock himself and to operate
the machinery. He has for the
past six years been an employe of
the Sioux City Engine Works, and
has recommendations from this
firm. There is no question as
to Lawrcnceburg needing water
works, and that such a company
would encrease the value of city
property and bring industries here
that we can not now entertain a
hope of having. We hope that cur
enterprising citizens will meet and
assist Mr., Davis in getting up the
Company.
