Goderieh Township..
Mrs, James Russell, who , had
been visiting friends in the town-
ship for a couple of weeks, returned
to her home •in Morris last Friday.
There died in Goderieh township
on April 8th, Thoinaa Woods, ngod
84 years. Deceased emigrated from
-COVE yr -Fortin na tt; _Ptelafiff ill -
1842. For a number of years he
followed his trade, that of a joiner,
in Goderich and other places; and
a most capable one he :was. About
thirty-five-years,ago he settled down
to farming in this township, having
married Miss Cox who predeceased
him several years ago. The only
surviving member of hie family is
Mr. John Woods of this township.
Deceased was a staunch Conserve-
tive in politics and a gentleman of
thorough integrity and superior in-
telligence.
n-telligence.
Another of the pioneers of this
township passed. away last Wedness
day in the person' of Mr. David
Canteloa, Sr., at the ripe age of 81
years. Deceased was well and
favorably known. His death was
not unexpected, he having been ail-
ing for some time. He was born
in Tipperary, Ireland, emigrated to
Canada about 1830, lived in Toren,
to township about four years when
ho removed to Goderich tp, where
he continuously resided until his
death. Was a member of the
Methodist church nearly 52 years.
He was an Orangeman and a life-
long Conservative. Took part in
suppressing the rebellion of 1837.
His immediate family who survive
him are hie wife, six sons and three
daughters : William, Henry, David
and Peter, prominent business men
of Clinton, and Samuel and Adam
who reside on the old homestead;
and Mrs. W. Cook, Goderich tp,,
Mrs. D. C. McRoberts, London tp.,
and Mrs. John Kyle, Douglass, Man.
The funeral was one of the largest
ever seen in the township, being
composed of frilly one hundred
vehicles and their occupants. Last
Sunday a funeral . sermon was
preached by Rev. Mr. Ayers at
Holmesville, from 2 Cor. 5 chap. 1
v. Deceased, though somewhat blunt
of speech, was really one of the
kindest hearted men and scorned
a mean action. And his whole
conduct through life gave assurance
of his Christian principles and of his
receiving the reward of the just.

THE CANADIAN ANNEXA-
TION CARD.
Chicago Inter Ocean.
An ex -member of the Canadian
Parliament, in an interview in
Chicago The Inter Ocean of Sates..
day, gave it as his opinion that
Canada's annexation to the United
States is inevitable and the question
is merely one of time.
Nevertheless, even a very limited
acquaintance with Canadian history
and the animus of the ruling party
in Canada, suffices to show that
Canadian annexation in the near
future, at least, is an "irridescent
drones," an ideality of the progres-
sive party in Canada and of Arneri-
cans who can not conceive the posais
bility of Canada much longer res
eating her "manifest destiny" by re-
fusing to enter the American Un-
ion. This ideality of annexation,
boweyer, is not a barren one, at
least not for Canada, Ori the con-
trary it is a card that has been plays
ed, with effect, time and again
against the good faith and friendly
advances of the United States.
A brief statement of facts will
confirm this view. Our Northern
neighbors were invited and even
urged to join the colonies in 1776
in their struggle for independence,
but not only refused but did all in
their' ,powt''r to r s-useert ua er the

went and peopie of the United
&tatea to give every possible evid-
ersice to the: Canadians of the friend•
ly spirit and willingness of the Unit-
ed States for the closest commercial
relations. The insignificant advent -
lege to t -he United States of the
small Canadian market in exchange
for graining to Canada her neart:rt
and beet market, the heat market, its
the world,'was one that bora no pro-
portion to the favor conferred.
How Canada repaid that kindness is
matter of too rteeut birtory to need
recapitulation. The o11e•1,ide1 treaty
expired March 17, 1566, nasi as an
answer to our retueal to renew it on
the former disadvruttrtgeous terms,
on March 28, 1868, the "Doteiniou
of Canada" was created, and the
country entered on that commercial
and intriguing policy towards the
United Suttee, the evil effects of
which Canada is now suffering.
from
-But even this experience did not
'convince Americaus of the streoeth•
of the, hostile Tory spirit of Canada,
and three 'Cara ago another earnest
attempt was made to bring al eat
commercial union between the two
countries. The failure of this
scheme, so ubly cbampionad by
Goldwin Smith and Er••u, tus Wittier*,
and of which Mr. Butterworth was
the most zealous Arnsri•:an expone
eat, mat aced another stage in the
process of the enlightenment of tate
American people as to the real at&
tudo of Canada towards the Unitetfi
States. This attitude became more
hostile in the fisheries question, and•
in the Behring Stitt controversy, andi
that there is not war to•.day between
Great Britain and the United States
over this diaper', is not due to Cana-
dian good will or desire for friendly
relations with the United States.
The failure of Canada to induce
England to espouse the cause of her
poachers in Behring Sea, together
with the operation of the McKinley
tariff, has produced a feeling little
short of exasperation, and it is
doubtful 'whether, In her anger, she
will now even deign to play herr

It is surely time that Canadians
should be made to understand that
it is a matter of comparative indif.
ference to the United States -what
C"annila's'"pill'ioji lowniTcl'""'lie latiee "'
may be. Mr. Chas. Durand, whom
the Toronto Evening News speaks
of as "the well-known barrister and
eminent oxlonent of public affairs,"
recently published in that paper an
article in which, according to the
head lines, he shewa-"°just how to
call ,down the American eagle."
As a specimen of Canadian bluster
the article is a worthy companion
piece to the effort of the American
school whoa° effusion called forth
tat° sarcasm of the London Times.
Mr. Durand advises the Canadians
to "let American tariffs and com-
merce go to the dogs, sooner than
succumb to the swagger of Wash-
ington braggarts," Aside from a
number of things be generously and
patriotically advised England to do
in the Behring Sea matter by way
of "calling down the American
eagle" and protecting Canadian
poachers, he advanced one proposal
that Canadians may vet try the vir-
tue of, namely, "take off 10 per
cent on British goods and let Britain
pot on 10 per cent on all American
geode or produce entering England,
discriminating in favor of her colon-
ies." The discriminating business is
one peculiarly grateful to Canadians
provided discrimination is in their
favor. They already discriminate
18 cents a ton on Canadian canals
in favor of Montreal. They also
"discriminate" against entrance and
clearance of American vessels in
Canadian ports. They discriminate
20 per cont on silver coin of the
United States, and 10 per cent on
tea and coffee imported from the
United States, and in violation of
the copyright law between Great
Britain and the United States "dis'-
criminate" againat American authors
in the matter of obtaing copyright,
as Secretary Blaine has pointed out
to the government that makes treat-
ies for Canada. A little more or
less of "discrimination," therefore
will not be a eurprize to the Ameri-
can pe rpie. But discrimination is a
two'edged weapon, a fact Canada
has recently been made aware of.
Canadian "discrimination" ie, how-
ever, preferable in sincerity to the
talk of annexation, That card has
been played.
