MORE ANNEXATION.

II is Now Proposed to Annex Jamaica
to Canada.
Montreal, Quebec, Jan. 15.-W.
B. Chapman, well known capl
talist of Jamaica, iu an interview
today, stated that the party in
favor of the annexation Of the ISL
and to Canada has grown to great
strength and that definite mea
sures are on foot to secure the
union. 1t is the intention to
unite all the British possessions
in the Western Hemisphere into
one dominion, and Chapman says
definite encourag meut has been
offered by the British Govern
ment.
While this may be to the adj
vantage of the empire, Canadian
politicians are protesting vigor
ously against being harnessed
with such Incompatible interes ts.
The differences, they say, between
provinces now in the coDfsdera
ton are sufficiently rampant to
justify opposition. Some years ago
a delegation from Jamaica b. zach.
ed the subject Of union to the Ca
madam Parliament, but the project
was overwhelmingly defeated. The
present party Intends to appeal to
the British Government aud is
ssnguine of success. The leaders
here claim that if the scheme goes
through all the strength will be
taken from the confederation and
state that Canada will resist it by
all possible means.

John Randolph, of Roanoke, died
June "a, 1888, at the City hotel in Phila-
delFhia, where he had gone to set sail
for England. On his way there, says the
Philadelphia Times, he passed through
Washington, and, dragging his enact
ated body with difficulty to the senate
chamber, again met Henry Clay. The
former, enemies had touching inter-
view and parted, for the last time, in
peace and good will.
Rardoiph was carried to Virginia and
buried under the pines Of Roanoke in
the midst Of that solitude which ne had
always erayed in. life. Many years later
his remains were removed to Hollywood
cemetery in Richmond, and handsome
monumentt placed over them by John
Randolph Bryan.
In making the removal 1t WINS found
that his body was buried no less than
eight feet in the ground; the triple lead
coffin was with difficulty removed, as
the roots of an.iold oak had burst it
asunderi and wrapped round and round
his body, holding him in, a long en-
brace close to the state he had loved so
well.

give express notice to the contrary
are considered wishing to continue
their subscription.
2. If subscribers order the discon-
tinuaL ce Of their periodical the pub
Usher may continue to send it until
all arrearages are paid.
3. If subscribers refuse or neglect
to take their periodicals. from the
Office to which they are directed, they
are responsible until they have set
tied their bills and ordered them dis
continued.
4. Subscribers moving to other
places without informing the pub
Usher, and the papers are sent to the
former address, they are held re-
sponsihle.
B. The courts have decided that
refusing to take periodicals from the
oAS0 VI AOhONAhB auu AcdNluB Gu0m

of intended fraud.

Spiked Flour for Southern Trade.

The doping of wheat flour is largely done for the southern trade, and the millers, as well as the middlemen, of Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee are engaged in it almost to a man. Flour bearing Atlanta or Nashville brands is especially corn-starchy, and brands from the four states named are in most cases nearly as bad. The great mills in Minneapolis do not make or sell sspiked,' flour. They are not equipped with 'mixers' 'or ''blenders." These machines are openly advertised in the Northwestern Miller, and there is scarcely middleman or miller from bake Erie to Nashville and Atlanta that has not at least one of the machines The nriddIemen of Nashville and Atlanta have more of them. however, than the millers of their states possess They are wholesale mixers in every sense of the word. King Adulteration holds court in those towns.
 These mixers are run by steam or elec- tric power. and they have as many down or feed spouts as there are ingredients in the flour which they turn out These spouts are guagcd to put into the mixture

The Governor Endorsed.
state

In his speech at Montgomery last Mon day night, MT. Bryan made notable de- parture from the financial question pure and simple, and 1t deserves more than a passing mention. The first portion of his address was devoted to a discussion of tax which 1t bears on the rich and the poor Internal revenue taxes are collected from each individual in proportion to the con sumption of the articles taxed without any relation to his ability to pay So with the tariff tax which is tax upon consumption and not upon wealth. Thus wealth has shifted the burden of federal taxation to the consumer, and the same effort is made by wealth to escape from it's share of local and state taxation.
 MT. Bryan quoted ex-President Harrison on this point and adduced his statement that if wealth continued to shirk its duty the people might be irritated into a re- property from the mob. He did not him. self say that, but quoted this high author ity to show the gravity of the evil. Con- tinuing, he congratulated the people of Alabama that they had d governor who was doing his duty in requiring that wealth shall bear its portion of the burden This declaration produced great applause.
 Concluding this reference, MT. Bryan said: q want him to feel in his struggle that behind him Is the great throbbing heart of the common people," This sen tence really produced more applause than any utterance of the evening, and the cheering and cries of ''Hurrah for John ston' continued until the governor arose and bowed his acknowledgements.
 The significance of the demonstration lay in the fact that the opening of the fight on the present state administration was made in Montgomery and on the tax measure, whose results MT. Bryan was indorsing. The applause was ample proof that the tax commission law and it's fruits are ap- proved in the capital and the state and the people are with the governor.

A NEW YEAR SONG.

From the Pail Mall Gazette. Early in the young year, before the frosts
 were over, heard the flowers stirring in the warm dark down below. Tulip-bulb whispered to the rose-root lige lover, Maiden snowdrop shook and thrilled with birthing-throe- "Will you be red rose, or tall white rose to clamber?" "Is.my love iily?" Such sweet whispers thrill In the brown earth's bosom, wherein no
 lily amber Knoweth if it shall not rise as a daffodil Early in the young year, so they talk to-
 gether, Daisy-seed and daffany, clematis and grass; Grass-blade loves canary-aower, and into April weather Out of this sweet nursery he and she will
 pass. Not 8 grass-blade doubts or dreams that the strong earth-tether Bidshim rise dwarf in green. and she
 climb high, alas! Not daisy doubts that the sunfiower is her mother, Not a tulip guesses that when they find the light Lily-1ower with Hly-fower will make and love each other. And the red rose break her troth with the rose that's white.

Stand by the President.

The firmness, the unmistakable and who'll ly admirable backbone, displayed by the president in promptly resisting the pre- mature attempt of Spain to drive Gen. Fitzhugh Lee out of Havana, and to pre- vent the carrying on wal vessels of sup plies to starving non-combatants, has elic- tied the approval of the country and it is highly creditable to the country that the marked approval of his action in these two matters came as freely, spontaneous ly and heartily from democrats as from republicans. So 1t was in the house of rep resentatives when Chairman Cannons bill placing fifty million dollars at the disposal of the president ostensibly 'for the nation in all but name-when this bill was warm ly supported without reference to party or section lines. In fact, the only voice out of tune was that of Pennsylvania high against the bill This was as it should be.
 As the country drifts towards war-and the drift of events is too plain to be mis- taken-all should, and will, back up the president. As the stock and other markets have already discounted war, there is no reason why even the Wall street brigade should stand out. No democrat at any rate should stop to consider partizan ad- vantages or disadvantages in such crisis. Cuba must be freed, an inhuman war stop ped, and peace restored-the Spaniard, al- ways a disgrace and failure in colonial government, driven out of the Americas for once and for all.
 The president is the constitutional head of the republic, it's commander in war, it's defender at all times. It is the duty of all to give him the utmost possible sup port to sustain him in every patriotic en- deavor, whether it means good or i'll to this or that section or to this or that party. The country should be first now in all hearts, and the administration stands for country now; and all should, and all will, stand shoulder and shoulder, regardless of party or sectional lines, until the flag of Cuba shall fly over Moro Castle, and the last Spaniard has retired to his belated peninsular, there to stew and slowly sim n1er down in his own juice.
