CANADIAN ANNEXATION TALK.

According to the Montreal Witness, which declares itself an opponent of annexation, there is some annexation sentiment in Canada. It finds that that region is becoming gradually Ameri canized, " though a large majority of it's people are still against political union. The Americauiz- ation is being brought about, so 1t intimates, by the syndicate matter published in the Canadi- an papers, which is all made up in the United States, and by the United States plays, which are imported into Canada after they grow stale on this side of the line. A more powerful en- zine of assimilation than this, ; it seanarSis. could hardly be de vised.
 The Montreal paper misses some other important influences which are tending to American me" Canada. Vast numbers of Canadians come to the United States every year to better their condition, and most of them stay here.
