FEB. 7 NEWFOUNDLAND, The agitation which has been renew- ed in Newfoundland since the recent financial troubles there, for the annex- ation of that Province to the United States, will exzite somewhat more in- terest in this country than most of the annexation schemes which rise and fall from time to time in the commu- nities on the other side of the St. Law- New found- land is in a better position to sever its connection with Great Britain and to seek admission to our Federal Union than the other British provinces, ex- cept that it is not contiguous and there is no disposition apparent in Nova Seotia to come along. It is a distinct, self-governing Com- monwealth, that has never become in- rence. In some" respects da, but has held aloof, until, as recent events have shown, its separate posi- tion has become difficult if not impos- gible to maintain. It will almost of necessity now seek federation, and there is evidently a considerable num- ber of the people who would prefer the comparative freedom of an American State to the dependent position in the Dominion. It is not necessary to dwell upon the enormous advantage which such a un- ion would bring to this country, par- ticularly in the control of the great fishing interests which have been a cause of contention for so many years; but this obvious sufficient reason why Great would not and could not consent such a dismemberment of her in North America. the key to the Lawrence, possession is essential to the and commercial security minion.

These laws are a menace to the welfare of the country. It must be remembered that every move made by the Democrats to bring order out of chaos is met with sition from the Republicans, therefore the blame for the present muddle must be shared by both parties.
