During the past few years our fair
village has made rapid progress in the
matter of Public Works—ample fire -
protection, afforded by a most excellent
system of waterworks ; streets 'and
stores electric lighted ; Sidewalks re-
newed with an apparent aim at good
service and perinianence—and our citiz-
ens had began to flatter themselves on
'being fully abreast with the progress of.
a fast age.
But the climax was only , reached
when the corporate School Board after
mature deliberation decided to purch-
ase a fine bell. for the Public School..
—A large.number of our citizens The bell was procured and with due
intend taking in the sports at Dun- ceremony placed in a new tower, speci-

-fir-poilTruf wer'ght and size thiib 11 is,
we believe, the finest ever manufactur-
ed since the Pioneer days, when bovine
'roamed the forests. So . finely . is. this
bell adjusted that it appears the bell -
rope interferes very inaturially with its
true balance. and It is pro.o• . t
remedy, to build a stairway to the
tower that. the Principal may be enabl,,
ed to toll the bell without the aid of a
rope, and thus restore the equilibrium.
Some persons jealous, no doubt, of the
honor the School Board has heaped up-
on themselves in securing so desirable
an aquisition, strongly assert that the
bell is cracked.
While .not attemptia;g to deny the
assertion, in support 'of the School
'Board, we quote the following words
of the immortal Shakespeare :
He that hath no music in has soul
" Nor is not ,stirred' by concord of sweet
sounds,.
' " Is fit for treasons, strategies and spoils ;
Let no such man be trusted."
Citizens are therefore warned to avoid
criticism and fault-finding lest they be
considered lacking the " musical soul
and be open to the charge of treason.
Yet such is the perversity of mankind,
that in our humble opinion the School
Board have . reared to 'themselves a
monument, the real benefit of which
will not be appreciated by the present
veneration.

THE HISTORIAN.
INDEPENDENCE VS. ANNEXA-
. TION.
Tea the Editor and whom it may concern:
In your issue of May 1st I noticed
a long preamble on Annexation. The
writer goes on to say that Annexation
is the future destiny of our country,
and asks the reader to keep cool and
not throw the paper to one side for fear
of ppllution at the very mention of
such a thing. Now, sir, I would esk
the writer to keep. Cool, and answer
these questions : (1). Who wants
Annexation with the UnitedStates
(2).' Why do they want it? (3). What
benefit would they derive from it, if
they did' get it t
Now, sir, we are all proud to own
that the sprang from Old England, the
treadle of constitutional and religious
liberty, which course I would like to
trace from Magna Charta to the pres-
ent time ; but I have not the time at
my disposal at present to clo so.
Let us look at a few of the dimen-
sions and resources of Canada ---not
view it improperly as sotne would as
being insignificant in size and a dreary
tvttste of 'snow -bound wilderness unfit
for agriculture, and not containing those
elements that:should constitute a great
nation. Canada is the second largest
country in the world—Russia being
the largest—nand is larger than the
United States and Alaska combined,
her area being 3,500,000 square miles
i ed contains as little barren lands and
much more fertile soil than the United
State:;, Our own • 011tario is larger
than Spain, nearly as large as France
and is equal to Sweden, Denmark and
successfully undertaken and .accomp-.
dished by an country.
Containing the population of our
Dominion, we are the third maritime
power in the world ; then why do we
want Annexation with the United
States t We have fire millions of peo-
ple, nearly twice as many as the United
States had in 1776, and a million more
than England had when she crippied
one of the' ;real powers of Europe, by
the defeat of the Spanish Armada.
Our population then justifies the.
assumption of .Independence. The
moment we become Independent we
gain the sympathy and good will of
the American people, and would get,
almost any measure of Reciprocal
Trade that we desired, providing we
were Independent.
We will sec the benefits which would
accrue if we took away 'the customs
barrier. The customs revenge of the
Uuitecl States is 5210,000,000 or about
$3.50 per headthe excise -revenue
V-33,000;0001 -y r -'--$2 rh ead.
Now suppose our population of five
millions were to pool our receipts on
this basis we would be _entitled to.re-
ceive for customs duties, $17,500,000 ;
for excise duties, 511,250,000 ; and as
it costs Us $740,000 "to collect our rev=
enues between the two'countries, We
would save if, we added our share of
the customs and excise by the abolition
of the customs '$29,490,000. This
large sums would be Our share of the

relatiipn between • United States and.
Canada..
If we were Independent we •would •
attract iuuni;ratinn wore. largely.
There are nowtwo millions and a half
of Canadian born people in the United
Statesin Chicago alone there are
sixty-five thousand Canadians, who
should now be in Canada.
The time has coniewhen our opinions
as to; our deatiny, should lie freely dis-
cussed. True, we'laave an extravagant
Goverenent,, the idea of 'paying 5175,-
000 for a Governor-General •when his
duties could be performed by a man of
our own choice at ten or twenty thous-
and per ,annum: Financial savings of
this kind are important when we con-
sider our (lett, which averages about
560 per }lead of our population ; also
the fact of us spending millions of dol-
lars, yearly, in assisting'emmigrants to
our shores, while the United States do .
not.spend a single cent for that purpose,
shows a needed reform. Assisted. eni-
migration brings a class'of little use to
,_u,s..;:,one geraee.,.. who c.Rm.es .o_£_.hiu.own. ,
accord is worth. a 'dozen tramps and
paupers. Then we have another insti-
tution, our Lieutenant:Governor, • why
fills his position as• well as any man
could—=for he has nothing to do—and
lie does it' admirably. His duties are
merely social, and it costs us from
$25,000 to $30,000,' yearly., Do we
get value for our money? not by any
means.
Furthermore we h.tve a country that
is free froni slavery, which the �'nited
Stated i�s not yet free from. G down
to South Flordia and what do we find
there t Slaves by the thousands,
bought anti sold by the Indians of the'
South. Perhaps by learned friend not
know, of this ; but I have been down '
there and know it for a certiany. Al-
so, we Cnnadians'renieniber the seventh
day to keep it holy, which the Amer-
icanspay no attention t,,. We have not
a modern Sodom iia our country such as
.our neighbors have iii the City of
Chicago. We have better farmers in
Canada ,than they have,, who are the
very backbone and sinew of any coun-
tryy. Lhave travelled in all about 20,•
000 miles in .the United States and T
have yet to see any farming community
equal to what we have in our own
country. Judging from the appearance
of farm houses, cut buildings, fences
and appearances in general our fanners
are not taxed to the extent the Amer-
ican farmer is, and hundreds of other
reasons T could point out' if T had the
bole. I.ncki. ;di dirge eircunistnnces
