and ware to accept several of the better features in our constitution and laws.AL ILE LINE, SUIDRE Bections of the Ameri- cap press demurred from the extravagant einanda of Mr.Macdonald; though the New York Sun was (nite ready to assume Îles bagatella of our Indebtedness.It was lis cpposllion In Lhose days, however, and the aunt shadow of the present deficit had With Mr.Uleveland in power, Lhe people bent up\u201d not loomed up Washington-ward.on tari] reform and no surplus Lo be gener- it is doubtful whether the would be ar ready now to Lake Mr, Mac- donaid's terms.Still however that may be while Lhe Americans true to the Monroe ous with, Sun doctrine, have always been willing to talk of Anoexatiou vaguely and in the abstract the discusalon of detail has been dPmoet wholly left to our visionaries.These cob-web spinners have an {rresist- ible sentiment of loyalty to face and an equally Iirresiptible knowledge that Canaia 18 better off under her present institutions thas rhe Would be with vote- canvassing judges and rule by \u2018primaries.\u2019 This has induced the Canadian Annexation- lat to (aiut a high colored picture of the good that would come of Political Union in the vain hope of making some headway agalnst that loyalty and that knowledge.And these dav-dreams might be accepted as fnots.if occasionally some American did not write down the outlines o! a scheme which, in his opinion.might possibly Le accepted by his feliow-countrymen.Judge C.K Grant, of Akron, Obio, thus writes Lo his local paper an argument ip favor of Annexation after a visit to Canada.He finds us to be in rather bad eondition, and Immeaiately jumpe to the conclusion that a union with the great Republic is the only thing thal can save us.Ops would fancy that during the late campaign he might have heard something of distress in Lis own country and also of ils cure by tariff reform and similar home remedies; but it may be that he is a disciple ot McKinley and hence bound to believe in prosperity at home even if he must wear \u201cblinders\u201d to do it.But after a column or two, he begins to discuss what Annexation would mean for the Americans; and then he grows interesting.[je at once points out how the disappearance of the customs line between the two countries would widen Lhe market for manufactured goods; \u201cand for us,\u2019 he continues, \u201cto admit that our people are not enterprising enough, intelligent enough, inventive enough, and energetic enough, to occupy our full share of the field thus opened, would be a fearfvi impeachment of our capabilities and our mission in the industrial world.\u201d Where does Judge Grant \u201creckon\u201d that our mapufacturers will come in?Having given our market to the Am- sricans, will they occupy their full share of the famed market of sixty-five millions?\u201cAt the same time,\u201d says Judge Grant again, \u2018 Canada is fllled with the materiais, \u2014mineral, agricultural, and the vast output of her forests, necessary for the rapid and succeasful utilization of the joint enterprise of the western continent.\u201d lhe vast output of our forests is already being utilized to keep the Michigan lumber mills going, and has lately driven a Canadian Eastern Townships industry acroee the border.* Here we have,\u201d goes on the exuberant judge, \u201can opportunity to absorb a people fitted by a community of origin, pursuits, national habits, business methods, morsis, language, liberties and laws, for painless digestion and profitable assimilation.\u201d His opinion es to how the Americans should deal with the \u201ctreaty rights™ of the French majority in Quebec would have cast a deadly coldness over the Sohmer Park meeting, had they been read there, Following up his description of the extreme \\ ists, who are calculating on the vote of French Canada, must keep such truth-telling as this quiet.Nor does he close without a word for Montreal.Speaking ou! the obliteration of the boundary line, he says: \u201cThe natural market for the wheat of Manitoba and the Peace River Valley ie at the milis of Min- neâpolls, instead of at Montreal, a thousand miles away.\u201d These are little details of the absorption scheme that our Annexationist friends have forgoiieu to mention; and they are quite enough to persuade the xrand jury of public opinion to throw out the proposition without sending it on toa more serious court where the argument and evidence for the defence must be heard.Lt.-Col.Denison, M.P,, accuses some of our people of favoring Annexation because of the \u201cmaterial advantages\u2019 to be gained.Where are the \u201cmaterial advantages?The Lt.-Colonel is far too complimentary.THAT ie a curious feature of the American constitution which allows a President and Congress to meet to go ahead with business after the Administration has been sweep ingly defeated at the polls.If it bad not been for the preliminary turn over of the House o! Representatives in 1890\u2014which but makes the position all the more anc- malous\u2014we would now bave thespectacie of a Kepublican Congress and Executive fully empowered Lo spend money, make laws appoint judges, and do the work of a long session when the people had condemned them and their pollcy in a most striking manner, To paraile! this in England, we would have to suppose the Salisbury Government still In power and intending to control the dellberations of the coming session of Parliament, Whlie Mr.Gladstone and his Home Rule policy must wait inao- tive until spring.Such a thing is not oon- ceivabie in Britain or Canada, and yet the Americaus will not fall to claim for them- seives Lhe most Democratic government on earth.A NUMBER 8 of gentlemen, members of the Montreal Board of \u2018irade, met In quite an\u2019 Impromptu way at the City Club yesterday, afternoon for the purpose of arranging to give rellel to deserving poor during the winter.Mr.Charles Alexander vocupied the chair, and around him were the Revs.J.Nichols, J.Patterson, J.Tallman Pitcher, J.F.Renaud, I.Riedel, Al.Sadler, J.Ker and E De Gruchy, and Messrs.bamuel Filey, James Coristine, Geo.Crulkshank, Joseph Richards, E.Sandreuter sod D.Mcliilan, The meeting opened with prayer by the Rev.John Nichols, after which the chair- wan stated thal he would like to refer to their organization in 1867 and to their ip- stitution, as It was deemed necessary that the vutdoor poor shouid be assisted.A jew of the organizers had «one, and he hoped to their reward.There were somes left and the work was going on.l'heir work had the confidence of the citizens, else tuey would pot nave been sustained, and he hoped through their benevolence the work would te carried on, lhere were a number of re- speclable mechanics, Dot to speak of widows, who could not get work, and it was to assist these that they were gathered together.Last year they gave provisions to 405 persons nud distributed 33 quarter cords of woud and haif a ton of coal They closed with a debt of $500, but they hoped to be able to clear it off.It was moved by Mr.8.Finley, seconded by Mr, J.Coristine: \u2018Thal the operations of the Board of Outdoor Re- let be commenced on Thursday, the 2nd day of December Inst.and carried on every week ay usual during the winter.Ang thatthe following gentie- men b6 appointed Ww make an appeal Lo the public through the Press for donations 10 carry on the work, viz: Charles Alexander, Willian Reid, Jas.Moore, Hon.J.K, Ward, Juseph Hichards, seo, Cruikshank.THE SECONDER SAID this was one of the noblest of Protestant charities and he foit coutident that it would be supported.The Rev.Mr.Renaud next spoke of the good that wag doue Ly this onarity.Last year he came acruss many respectavle mechanics who though wilting could not find work.The motion carried.It was moved by the Rev.J Nichols, seconded py the Rev.J.T.Pitche \u2018hat the thanks of this meeting be and are hereby tendered to Lhe Board of Outdoor Relier fur the careful and efficient manner in which they nave distributed the gifts of whe benevolent public of Luts city; also to the city misatonarties {ur the Xludiy way in which they have investigated every duubtful case of application trom the Outdoor Ke- Mel Board.The mover sald he was glad that there were carelul enquiries, as il IL was not done the public wouid not have any contidenoe in them.The immigrants were poor as a rule and discussed lhe propriety of having an .dinner of that the dinner should take place op soma day as pearly as possible following the annual election of the Board.We heartlly approve this wovement as a more agreeable means of bringing members into more social intercourse with wach other, thab ap occasional meeting on \u2018Change affords.Thers are now we believe some 1200 members, and several hundred of them night readily be counted upon to atlend the dinner.We hope the subject wili be taken up by the Council at its next meeting on the 13th inst.annual sug ested THE Halifax Herald fears that if Canada gave lower tariff rates to British goods she could not distinguish them from those of American or German manufacture.Under present treaty arrangements, she would tie compelled to acmit German goods with the same duties as British produce while American articles, to cheat us, must be made with the English \u201cear-marks,\u201d shipped across the Atlantic and then smuggled back as British manufacture All these difficulties would help our Customs House officials to detect the \u2018raud, which they should de sharp enough to see in any case.OUR people will note tbat the British farmers who voted for a protective duty on agricultural produce yeaterdsy, did not express themselves as wiliing to share this advantage with the colonial farmers.it may be suspected, indeed, that they would object wo be undersold by Csuadian produce as strongly as if the cheap wheat were grown in Russia or the United States.Then every public man who spuke was against protection, declaring it to be impracticable in view ol ita affrat on the food of the work- moan.The McNeil.:nlllennium 18 not in plain slght

of p te formation of a union of landiords and an Mr.Powler, a Kentish farmer, moved as anamendment to Mr, Everett's motion that the conference had no faith tn any changes in the law regarding the currency as a rainedy for agricultural distress.Mr, Chaplin closed the debate by daclar- ing that the owners of gold did not approve tbe motion, because the more gold appre- © clated the better it was for them.Gold, he added, had appreciated in value since silver was kicked out in 1873, throwing a greater dmand on gold.It was a curious colpet- denca that since 1873 the world had been axpariencing & prolonged and serious depression in every industry for which no ukher reason could be assigned.The resolutions were then carried, there being few dis- seniors.: Destitution Near Halifax.HALIFAX, December, R_\u2014Invantigation shows that the reported destitution among the ; inhabitan's of Turn's Bay, Halifax county, about twenty mites from the city, is true.The people depend aimost solely on the catch of fish for their living, and this year's lishing there has been practically a total failure.Seven families are now in actual want for the necessaries of lille, and by the lat of Januagy twenty more will ba without food, while others can barely pull through till spring, and none have supplies Lo spare those without.Relief measures will likely ba instituted in this oity.Another destitute family arrived in Hail- fax on the steamer \u201cVancouver.\u201d a Swedish family named Levyen, consisting of four children, father and mother.The Baron de Hirsch Society assisted them somewhat, but to-day they applied to the Mayor to get to Montreal.He reforrsd them to Emigration Agent Clay, and the family will jeave by tomorrow\u2019s train.\u2018The oity will have to pay their fare, $27.50.Fred.Leslie Dead.Lowno x, Decsmber 1\u2014Fred.Lasiia, ihe well known and pop actor.died y \u2018of typhold fever .mrneliste removal, and that, ; \u2019Inchesiea In regard.SIDNEY'S MISTAKE; \u2014 OR, \u2014 The Mystery of Rutledge Hall CHAPTER XX X1V,\u2014(Continued.) \u201c Here is some one you know, Sidney,\u201d Lady Agnes said, breaking off her conversation with another chaperon, as a gentleman in a superb Cavalier dress came up and doffed his board-brimmed bat as he bowed low before Sidney.For a moment she did not recognize him; then, with a faint smile, she put out her hand in greeting Lo Lord de la Poer.* 1 am delighted to see that vou are so much better,\u2019 he said, taking a seat by her side.\u2018But you look far from strong yet.\u201d \u2018Thank you; I am better.I did not know you were in Brighton, Lord de la oer.\u201d \u201cI!
