FRIDAY, JAN. 11, 1889.
Annexation by Force.
While there has been more or less
discussion on the subject of our trade
or other relations with the United
States, it has been left for an American
Senator to declare that " the United
States ought to have Canada, peaceably
if Canada will, but forcibly if she does
not want to be•annexed."
Ile hos evidently donned his war
paint early in the year, and is bound
that no time shall bo lost in reaching
the (foal of his desire, for he says :—
" It is our manifest destiny to ac-
quire Canada, peacefully of course if it
can be ; by force if necessary. If the
two countries grow up as one the great
nnion will be inhabited by a homogene-
u-is people; if the two nations continue
apart there are bound to be disagree-
ments between the two Governments,
and should there ever be at any time
any little sectional difference in the
United States, Canada would take one
side or the other, and do her best to
--••' dismember the existing union." He
vows th t he does not speak lightly of
wa , ut ffe..iS frank to admit that the
calamity of war is preferrable to peace
without union.
This worthy Senator is only wasting
his breath. It may be true that here
and there can be found people who de-
sire annexation to the United States—
only because of the presumed commer
cial advantages it•weuld bring -but to
say that there is anything like a general -
feeling in favor of annexation would be
very far from the truth. '
There is no telling what the future
may develop, but itis absolutely certain
that at the present time Canada could
not be -forced into a political union with
the States, and the Americans are not
such fools as to attempt it. , They
would no doubt be glad to add Canada's
vast resources and territory to their
1
, own only slightly less area, but if they
cannot do it by persuasion, they will
not do it by force.
We have always regarded a Colnuier-
isi Union with our neighbors as pre•
rrable to a. political union, and believe
he attainment'of the one would be a
r. preventative of the other. We think
,:,at oily legislators world be acting in
•: the best interests of the country, if they
blade an effort to obtain the former,
because we would thus secure the as•
sumed be efits of the latter, without its
disadvantages. As to the objection.
that the Americans would not concede
us Commercial Union, we think there
is nothing in it. However, until they
show that they are unwilling to grant
it we niay assume tlfoy are favorable
thereto.
A Possible Dissolution.
An Ottawa dispatch to a New York
paper, (not a very reliable source,)
says;`—
"An early dissolution of the Dominion
Parliament is imminent. Shortly aft-
er the close of the session, which meets
here this month, Sir John Macd:maid
will dissolve Parliament and go to the
bountry to give those who are advocat-
ing either unrestricted reciprocity or
annexation an opportunity to express
their views. It will be mainly on these
issues that the election will be contest-
ed. Sir John, it is stated by an indis-
putable authority, has become uneasy
over the growing sentiment in the di-
rection of closer relations with the Un.
i,ted States, and before it becomes.too
mighty an influence for7iim to conquer
he wishes to secure a new lease of pow-
er which, if he is successful, will carry
him into 1894. Sir John never yet has
permitted a Parliament to run its nat-
ural life."
There is just the barest possibility of
the above being true, but wo hardly
anticipate anything of the kind for the
reason that it will be months yet be-
fore the new Voter's Lists are issued.
and Sir John is not a than who will
take chances' i11 a Straight election issue..
IIe wants the details pretty well "fixed"
before hand. There is nothing we
would like to see better than aclear-out
contest on the lines d commercial un-
ion, or closcr trade relations with the
United States. Wo are very much.
mistaken if there is not a widespread
desire among the people for that. We
are well aware that they do not wish to
surrender their national allegiance, but
they are at the sante time eager for
that inci'eased material prosperity
which they believe commercial union
would bring to them. Even if Sir John
de'es not bring on the elections µwpm •
aturely, this question will be the chief
one to beliettled at the polls, and every•
body should read up and post themselves
nn n matter of such importance.

A London Ad vertiser reporter waited
upon the ministers of that city: to learn
their views on the question of clmrclt
exemptions, and found, with a couple
of exceptions, that all were opposed to
the present system. We aro glad to see
phis evidence of advancement, and as
ehnrehes should be the ones to set an
\erampleto the other portions of the „ommunity, wo hope the time will soon

Bribery and Disqualification.
Hon. Mr McShane, a prominent Lib-
eral of Montreal, has been disqualified
on the ground of personal bribery. He
claims, naturally enough, that the pun-
ishment is not deserved. However, not
knowing anything to the contrary, we
accept ,the ruling of the court as correct.
We hope that no leueinoy will be shown
any politican, whether he be Liberil or
Conservative, if he is found guilty of
bribery. There has been altogether
too much of this thing in the past, and
offenoes have been winked at simply be-
cause the offenders were men who had
infiueuce and position.
When politicans realize that they
cannot use ]Honey improperly with im-
punity, they will have respect for the
law, and elections gill be more honest-
,
]y conducted, but just as long as they
I see that improper iu$uences can be
aide use of without personal inconven-
ience, so long are they likely to use
these means.
Money is a strong temptation, but
the law has said that it must not be
used to influence votes, and every man
who does use it thus should bear the
full penalty of his improper acts.
The discovery of pure water at Gode.
rich will go hard with the citizens of
that place, as they will now have no
excuse for indulging in their customary
beverages.
Since the recent decisions of the
Privy Council and Supreme Court,
whereby Mr Mowat gained considerable
prestige, .the Conservative journals
have ceased terming him "the little ty-
rant," and they begin to realize he is an
opponent of more than ordinary calibre
whose victories have added to his polit-
ical strength.
The Empire, of, has an ar-
ticle eulogizing 'the .good work that is be-
ing done by the various Farmers' In •
stitute Meetings throughout the Pro- I
vince. This is all the more noticeable
from the fact that it was only a short
time ago that the Conservative papers
were ,declaring that. these -same •meet—
ings were nothing but"Grit Annexation
Clubs in disguise." It is quite certain
that practic of farmers cannot assemble
and exchange ideas without good being
the result thereof, but it is somewhat
unusual for the Conservatives to admit
that good can come out of anything
having its origin with the Liberals.
Even Conservative ,journals are be-
ginning to admit that there is a good
deal of humbug in the Dominion Fran•
chise Act, one feature of which recent-
ly came out in connection witli the last
election in Haldimand. Among those
whose• names were on the list were quite
a niimber who had resided in Buffalo
for about three years. To all intents
and purposes they were Amercan citi-
zens. but.•still their names being on the
Hat, they were actually brought over
and allowed to vote, although a number
of Germans who had been farmers in
Haldimand for 20 years. were not - al-
lowed to vote, simply because the lie.
tnrning Officer raised a technical ob.
jection to their registration papers.
TOWN COtiNCiL
The regular meeting of the council
was held on ;Mohday evening,.and
the following accounts ordered to be
paid :—J Jackson, rent,$9 ; W Coats,
election expenses, $10 ; Hart cot Co,
stationers, $4.58;C I)ickson,suudries,
$36 ; Whitely & Todd, ballots, $4;
NEW ERA, election posters and
finance reports, $6.50; S Davis, sun-
dries, $5.65 ; T McKenzie, lumber,
84 cents ; receipts for month of Dec.,,
$34,55 ; receipts from scales for the
month, $18.
It was moved by the Reeve, sec. by
the Deputy -Reeve, "That this council.
hereby tender its heartiest thanks to
the 'Mayor, Jos. Whitehead, for the
courteous and impartial manner in
which be has presided over its meet-
ings and transacted the business of
the municipality during the past
year." . •
Mr Manning, speaking to the reso-
lution, said the work of the past
year had been carried on in the most
harmonious and pleasant manner
possible, and the Mayor had presided
with dignity and consideration. He
believed every meihber of the board
had but one object in'view, viz :—to
work' for the very best interests of the
town, and do all that was in their
power to help its progress. The pre-
sentwas likely to be an important
year,so far as the town was concerned,
and he counselled continued unani-
mity °and earnest effort.
Mayor Whitehead cordially thank-
ed the members of the council for
this expression of their appreciation
of his services. What little he had
done was to promote the peace, pro-
gress arid permanent prosperity of the
town. It bad developed since he first
knevv it from a wilderness to a fine,
substantial and progressive place. He
enumerated some of the dilliculties
experienced in its early days, its lits
corporation as a village, the grading
of the roads and sidewalks, the first
school, and step by tltep showed its
progress up to the present time.
At the conclusion• of the council
meeting Reeve McMurchie entertain.
ed the member{ of the council, p-er,
representatives and new councillors
elect, to an oyster supper at Ander-
son's, where a very 'enjoyable time
was spent.
CHAFF ANi) CNATTEil.
"No, I didn't go out to vote, on
Monday," said a lady, "and do you
know the reason—I'm-not agoing• to
climb up a pait of stairs to the top of
a building to vote. If the voting was
on the ground floor. I'd go and
vote, but 1 don't think it nice that
wo should bo expected to climb those
steps every time there is an election."
"You wouldn't thick that people
mould rtyn an account for theism alc-
ieg, would yea," said a lady' who
follows title business, "but the fact is
they do, and you would be surprised
if you saw my books, at the amount I
bay.e "charged." I think people
should not get dresses made up unless
they are able to pay for it. and it
makes it very inconvenient when they
don't pay. In fact I'm hard up on
account of it."
"I think it a rascally shame that
there should be a duty on American
corn." Said a prominent farmer the
other day ; "we want it for feed ; we
cannot raise it, and there ie nothing
that will take its place; I could use
two car loads of it at once, but I can't
get it, owing to the duty. There's
only a very email part of Ontario
where it can be raised, and that we
should be taxed for the benefit of a
few along the shore of Lake Erie, is
+an infernal outrage," and he looked
as if he meant all that he said.
"Do you know," said a business
man, "I have suale farmer customers
inrlc to
are the best men the o 1
who w
deal with, but again I have others
who are the reverse, and if there is
one thing that I think is exceedingly
unfair, it is for a farmer who has rue
a yearly account to expect one to
t.ke cordwood in settlement of that.
Now, I have to pay cash for my goods,
my rent and help are cash, and how
any one expects me to carry on busi-
ness, and paying liabilities by cord-
s" uud is more than I can understand,
and it is unfair for them to ask it of
us, as it makes our relations unplea-
sant."
People who have been "bit" by
some of the wood dealers, will appre-
ciate the following, which is said to
be true. A man contracted with a
farmer for some wood, the specifica-
tions being that it should be "tip-top
wood," and the price the highest.
While the woud was being delivered,
the buyer was more than annoyed to
find that it was nothing but scraggy,
curled and knotted limbs, and -on re-
monstrating with the farmer, was
completely floored when the latter
alleged that what he meant by "tip-
top wood" was the highest branches
that could be procured. • The buyer
_paid the highest price for it, too, but
vowed that he would never thus be
trapped again.

Mr John Brown is about to remove to
Tara, where he has purchased an inte-
rest in a large grist mill.
Mr S. Leggat has rented hie farm on
the 13th con. of E.Wawanosh, to Mr D.
Robertson, for five years. He has se-
cured a residence in Wingham, and will
devote his attention•to prosecuting the
interests of the Massey Manufacturing
Company.
John Cullis, Auburn, lost a valuable
horse last week. The animal broke
loose, and began rolling in a stAll in
which there was some chaff.' In strug-
gling his head was bruised so badly
that in a few hours the suffering brute
expired.
On Sunday morning a gloom was
thrown over this neighborhood, on hear-
ing of the sudden death of •Mrs Duncan
McKenzie, 12th con. of Ashfield. De-
ceased had only been ailing a few days
before her death. She leaves a husband
and five small children to mourn her
loss. -
Mr Duncan McRae, Ashfield, got
some of his ribs fractured while going
to town on Saturday. Also his son
John, while going to church Sunday his
horses took fright, and he and his sisters
were thrown out _John -_got his...ar,m
broken, and the others escaped with
slight injuries.
On Monday evening Thomas Harbot-
tle, merchant of Cranbrook, passed to
-iris reward , after a brief struggle with
quick consumption. He contracted a
cold which settled on his lungs, with
the above result. The deceased was a
willing worker in the. Methodist church,
and he also took a lively interest in the
Foresters' Order.
Mr Jas. McGee, who a few days ago
sold his 50 acre farm, has purchased a

for the sum of $2,000, a less sum than
he received for his fifty acres. Mr Mc-
Gee has also rented the 100 acre farm.
opposite his new home, and expects to
work both next season.
The Expositor says, much surprise
and regret was felt here on Saturday,
on the receipt of the news of the death
of Mr Simon Young, for several years a
resident on the Huron road, 17Iu1lett,
two miles west of Seaforth. The sad
event occurred at his residence, near
Millbank, in the county of Perth, on
Thursday of last week.
•Mr A. McD. Allan reached hoose, at

it for themselves with—well, he says
some pretty tall stories.
Adam J. Turner, charged with the
burglary of the store of Talbot S Mc•
Innes, Wingham, was acquitted at the
last Judge's Criminal Court. Turner,
it seems, occupied the upper story of
the warehouse in which the stolen goods
were found, but the lower part was
operi, and there was nothing to show
that he had any connection with the
offence, -
One morning about two weeks ago',Mr
Arch. Campbell, of Stephen township,
near Shipka, left home, ostensibly, for
the purpose of doing business in Exeter.
He did not arrive at Exeter, and not
returning home, his friends, several
days afterward set out in search of him.
They followed him:as far as Dashwood,
at which place all trace was lost, and
until the present time 'hotting has been
heard of him. It is supposed by some
that he walked to Hensall, where he
took the train for parts distant. No
valid reason can be assigned for his
leaving so • unceremoniously ; he was
not encumbered by debt to any serious
extent, and has not shown signs of de
rangement in mind. Two suits of
clothes, two caps and sixty dollars con-
stitute his paraphrenalia. He is about
45 years of age and "low -set," somewhat
stout. ,
Wisconsin Pinery Dans.
Chicago, Jan. 7 —Dr. Kate Bu-qs
nell. of t he Women's Christian Tem•
perance Union, gave startling testi-
rn"nv here Saturday, in herlecture to
women, about the horrors of the Vis•
const It pinery dives, gathered from
her p r-emal experience. The exist
en•. .,f-t„ckaded dens in Wisconsin
him yieen denied again and again.
Dr. Ilusttupll looked for herself, and
she found one at Warsaw, one at
Me rill, two at Marinette, one at
Auligo, two at Ki-llriver and ope at
Phune River, She drew sketches of
t hp9e dens so as to have proof, and
one of these sketches was exhibited
at the meeting: These dens are a
combination of saloons, (lance houses
and den of infamy. They are nearly
`hill licensed as saloons, There is
dancing -every evening and there are
'dens of ' infamy attached. These
houses hold all the way from six or
eight to severity girls. These dens
are situated in the woods a mile or
mere from town, Every crime under
the heavens that, is conceivable is
committed there without fear, 'While
the court records showed Mary or
Mollie or Emma somebody as the
ostensible owner, a little investigation
proved that Jack Mahoney, of Ash-
land, who was, recently murdered ;
Chas LeClair, of hurley • Rill Dia-
mond, of Marinette, and 'President
Wade, of Washburn, were the four
notorious capitalists in crime. Dia-
mond is laid to be worth f.•om $I00,-

Ayer's Alnianec, which has been
an annual and welcome visitor since
1852, comea'to us this year as a hand-
somely -bound volume containing
copies not one rious editions in
English, but also in nine foreign
languages. In.addition to these. there
are specimen pages of the pamt'ihlets
issued by the company in eleven other
tongues, thus making the book the
most comprehensive polyglot we have
ever seen. While the primary design
of the almanac is to advertise Dr
Ayer's Standa'fd Medicines—Starea-
ptr;l'a, Cherry Pectoral, Pills, Hair
Vigor, and Ague Cure—it commends
itself to every reader by reason of the
fullness and accuracy of its astronomi-
cal and other valuable information as
well as by its funny items,which ahr,w
that jokes can be spicy without being
vulgar. All the druggists are supplied
with Ayet4s Almanac, in their limit,
isr form, and are happy to give them
Li customers, The 19811A this year
will prrtbably not fall mt,oi1 short of
fourteen million,,eopits.
