JAHAICAI AINEXLIION-
The story that the people -of the
island of Jamaica have expressed a
desire to become annexed to the Un-
ited States serves to remind, ..the`
reader of the three tailors of '.l_‘ooley
Street who once issued the proclama-
tion heginning with the words “We
the people of England.” It can read-
ily he seen that no considerable part
of the people of Jamaica have any
part or lot in the alleged action. The
popullition . of the island is
mostly made up of negroes and
mulattos of a very ignorant type, with
only about 15.000 whites. The latter
include the planters, once well-oil’ but
now much reduced in circumstances,
fed beet su ar from Euro . There

few years the little talk we now hear
of Jamaican annexation will be wholly
a thing ofthe past. Those wh > have
read the history of the colonial de~
pendencies of the empire during the
present century will have very little
fear of Britain losing Jamaica at the
present time.
A better way out of their troubles
would be »for the British West Indies
ro apply -for admission to the Domin. _
ion which has shown a .most friendly
disposition by giving them the advan-
tage of preferential trade. And now
that Uncle -Sain has acquired some
tropical Islands _Canada might favor-
ably consider a proposal to receive a
sugar producing Island. We have
none at present.
