Thereupon de- BUGA_B0O AGAIN. Canadian Northwest? We do not think go and will give our reasons. In the tlrst place a large pl‘0p0l‘¢l0l1 ofthe so-called Americans who are coming to Canada are returning Can- adians, or former British subjects wholly in sympathy with our institu- tions. Secondly, quite as large a proportion of American settlersss of other nationalities have voluntarily -taken the oath of allegiance and are , -fully convinced that the Canadian mandu may be made on the other which can-not cept by disadvantageous These refused, irritation might arise which would prove fatal to the agree- uwnli- And the nhrogation might possibly lend to new tariff reprisals such os we have been familiar with. llut this would not be likely to lead to unnexution. Rather the con- trary. Any shnrp practice on thc part of our neighbors toward us must only lend to resentment and a 'firmer assertion of our determination to govern our own affairs in our own way. Canada is too lnrge, populous' und self-respecting to be either bullied or cnjoled into ii surrender of her rights or her independence. The an- nexation sentiments expressed by leading Americans and American newspapers is the hardest barrier the one side or be met ex- concessions. surmonnt. That attitude is very properly resented on thisside of the boundary. It is also feared, but quite needlessly, we think. Canadians do not want political - union with the United States.

Many of them believe and express the,beliel that lile, and property are more secure, and .peace and order are better maintain' ed in Canada than in the States. - In proof of this we cite the opin- ions of Mr. Nock, a stall writer of the American Magazine, in an article printed in that publication perhapsa month ago. He says that during u visit to all parts of Canada, he talk- ed with upwards of two hundred and ,fifty native born Americans in all positions of life who had taken up their abode in Canada and was Chag- rined by the fact that not one of these showed the slightest sentiment about his old home, or more than n casual and extraneous interest in the affairs of Uncle Sam.

A Quick Cure For Catarrh Malte Wonderful Cure for,Cal- arrh, Colds, Bronchilis Throat Weakness To cure an ailment in the throat or chest, to rout out Catarrh or Asthma, it is essential that the med- icine bc conveyed direct to the affect- ed parts. This is why no other reme- dy has achieved such world-wide suc- cess as Catsrrhozone, which alone can be breathed in one second to every air cell in the breathing or- gans. The healing vapors of Cat- F Rudyard Kipling has written that "all white men are loyal." We ca-n all agree that tuey ought to be where they live under an enlightened free government ol their own choosi-ng. Such a form of government we have in Uanada. Our people ure of white race stock. And they are loyal to country and to the Sovereign and. the flag under which they live. We doubt il there are any who are more so upon the terrnqueous globe. Loyal, prosperous, contented und happy are the Canadian people. But a strange thing has happened to them. Just. now there is an election cam- paign in progress and probdbly TWC hundred political meetings are being held on every week night between our Atlantic and Pacific coasts. And judg- ing hy the published reports it would seem that at nearly all of these poli- tical meetings the question of annex- ation is being discussed. ln each ol many of these meetings two or more speakers have devoted considerable attention to this rather wcnrisome and unsavory subject. There will be altogether many thousands of meetings held during the remaining weeks of the cnmpaign. ls this annexation babble to go on through all these gatherings to the end? What matter what Champ (`lnrk or Hearst may have to say on 'he auhlcct. They and their ilk are nt Canadian voters. 'l‘hey know nothing about Canada and the Cana- dian people. Bur. we ar. least know that no white man native to Canada wants nfmexntlon. No public man in Crmndn seeking the votes of his fel- lmv citizens would dare to advocate annexation if he wanted it.

Bet- ter to have worn penittutiary stripes than to he thus taintedwitli disloy- nity. And yet a thousand orators and`demugogues in Canada are talk- ing ahout annexation--about it but not in favor of it. Is not this nndignlficd, unnccessary_ silly and puerlle? It is a craze, an obsession. What must our neighbors think of ns? A thousand orators in n thousand halls making night hide- ous as they saw the air and hcllow forth their dread ann fem' of annexa- tion. Is it not really too rcdiculous? Of course it is all for party, but no man for party's sake has any right to insinunte a shameful slander vgumst the integrity of the Cnnad1nnpcup1e_ or to spread a vile suspicion of the future generation of Caiiadians ticloro they rise to meet us on the shores of being.
