rive. ITOOW X STAFF COXRZSrOKBKrM
Washisoton, Dec 5. Never was such
a crowd before seen at the opening oi a
ibort session of Congress as that which
Jammed the corridors and galleries of the
Home and Senate to-day. Certainly it was
sot on account of the expectation of any
thing exciting, and the crush can only be
explained by tbe fact that the fine weather
of the past week has filled the city with
visitors, and this perfect Indian summer
day took them all to the Capitol.
The proceedings were as uninteresting
as could be conceived, and nothing re
lieved them from utter routine monotony
except the display of flowers which made
the Honse and Senate like conservatories,
suggesting inrallibly the first day of a ses
sion, and added to this was the general
handshaking and congratulations and chatt
ing, telling of the holding of a recent elec
tion at which many of the members bad
suffered both as individuals and as members
of parties.
Most Peculiar Caso on Record.
Probably not since the war has there oc
curred a scene so peculiar in this respect,
at the first meeting of Congress after a na
tional election. Heretofore if the Demo
crats had the House the Bepnblicans had
tbe Senate. During tbe short period when
the Democrats had the Senate the Repub
licans had either the House or the Presi
dent, or both. When the Democrats had
the President and the House the Repub
licans defied them with a majoritx in the
Senate.
At the late election, for the first time in
long years, a party captured President,
House and Senate at one swoop, and to the
chaffing of their antagonists the Republi
cans could hardly think of anything to say
in reply except that the Democrats had not
carried Pennsylvania. This was a pleas
antry that was not carried to excess.
The Iowa Republicans exceptionally were
inclined to crow not a little over tbe Demo
crats in pointing to the gallant manner in
which they had redeemed their State.
Reed Give ns Good as He Gets.
Ex-Speaker Reed was the butt of the
keenest raillery. Around his chair was
gathered constantly a group of leading
Democrats, who subjected him to a galling
cross-fire of wit and sarcasm, to which he
replied in kind, making the best of the cir
cumstances. Over in the Senate similar scenes took
place. Republican Senators from States
which were carried by the Democrats were
targets for no end of witticism. Peffer, of
Kansas, was congratulated by nearly the
entire Senate, not only for tbe victorious
fight of his party in the State, but because
of tbe possibility that he will have for his
colleague, as the successor of Perkins, the
irrepressible and terrible Mrs. Lease.
So went the post-election merriment,
somewhat ghastly, from a certain stand
point, it is true, but yet the best thing pos
sible in such circumstances. Some of the
Republicans spoke seriously in reply to
Democratic raillery, avowing a genuine
pleasure that their old antagonists had at
last captured the administration. If they
were to have the President and the House,
it was best they should have the Senate
also, and take the whole responsibility.
Bill loo Modest to Be Present
One significant thing about this melee of
gratulation and fun-making, which oc
curred while members, visitors and corre
spondents crowded tbe chambers, and great
bouquets of all varieties nf fashionable
roses were being planted on nearly every
desk, was the absence of Senator Hill, of
New York, from the Senate chamber. It
was inferred that he was too modest to pre
sent himself in that moment of handshak
ing to provoke congratulations for the big
majority he had assisted to roll up for
Cleveland in New York.
The brief sessions of to-day were due to
the fact that the President was not ready to
present bis message when the joint com
mittee of the House and Senate called to
inform him that the two chambers were in
session and ready to do business. The
heads of departments have been unusually
tardy with their reports this year. They
were all engaged at hard work in the cam
paign, and have not felt inclined to hard
work since the elections.
Revisions Made Necessary by November.
Besides, Mr. Harrison has had to revise
many of his Intentions in regard to the
tone of his message. Had the elections re
sulted to his liking his task would have
been easy. He now feels that he must ex
plain a little and go a little farther than he
had intended into historical analysis and
defense.
It is said he expects to make this his last
annual message a model, in a way, for the
message Mr. Cleveland will hava to write
four years hence. He informed the com
mittee that his message would be sent to
Congress at the hour of convening to-morrow.
Much curiosity li manifested to know
what explanation he will give of the great
cataclysm. Perhaps he will make it a
"business message," cud omit all unpleas
ant references.

was the swearing in of new members. No
less than four from Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Virginia and California took the oath at the
Clerk's desk.
How Mr. Slpe Was Sworn In.
In the case of Representative W. A.
Sipe, of the Twenty-fourth Pennsylvania,
elected not only for" the term of the Fifty
third Congress, but to fill out the unex
pired term of the late Eepresentative
Craig in this Congress, a somewhat unusual
statement was made. Mr. ilutchler made
the motion that Mr. Sipe be sworn in by
unanimous consent, though he had not re
ceived his credentials through some unac
countable delav or oversight Representa
tive Dlzell stepped to the front and ad
dressed the Cbair and said he had some
knowledge of the election in tbe Twenty
fourth district and as there was no doubt of
the election of Mr. Slpe he supported the'
motion of Mr. Mutchler.
Thereupon Mr. Sipe took his place at
the right of the rank of four as it laced the
Speaker, the four held up their right hands,
the Clerk read the oath, and Mr. Sipe be
came a member without credentials. He
was heartily congratulated by StonevDal
zell, Brosius and other Pennsylvania Re
publicans. He is a slender, 'intellectual
looking gentleman, slightly above medium
beightb.with dark hair and full dark beard.
and apparently about 4U years old. He
will occupy the seat vacated bv the late
member whom he succeeded, which is far to
the rear on the Democratic side, for Mr.
Craig came late to this Congress, ds does
Mr. Sipe, and had to tase what was left,
and there was little left unoccupied on
that side, as is well known.
One Important Bill Brought In.
One of the few bills introduced to-day
was that of Mr. Mutchler, of Pennsylvania,
providing that after July 1, 1S93, the Pen
sion Bureau shall be transferred to the War
Department This would certainly be a
great advance step toward a reform of pen
sion methods, and it has been admitted for
years by many who bave given much time
to the pension problem that the bureau
should never have been Instituted except
under the well-disciplined, well-equipped
Department of War. The Interior Depart
ment has a multifarious duty to perform, all
of it foreign to the work of the Pension
Bureau, and much of the information neces
sary for the operation of the bureau neces
sarily comes from the War Department, It
can hardly be doubted that a sterner censor
ship woufd be exercised over the bureau by
the War Department, as well as a more
intelligent one, than in the Interior De
partment, where loose conduct of business
has run riot for long years in Land, Indian,
Patent Census and -Pension Bureaus.
Representative Stone has no expectation
that anything will be done with his immi
gration bill at this session, and the one
which passed the Senate at the last session
is so inadequate that' it also will probably
be buried. The lact is the cholera scare as
well as neV light on the labor troubles has
transformed opinion on the question of im
migration, and it is probable if anything be
done at all it will take shape in a measure
far more drastic than anything yet contem
plated, thoughcarcely going to the length
of Senator Chandler's proposition to entirely
suspend immigration for the space of one
year.
A Homestead Report Nearly Heady.
Senator Gallinger, Chairman of the
special committee which has been takiug
testimony in regard to the Pinkertons at
Homestead, and their system in general of
maintaining a private standing arniytp.be
bired to private citizens, says he expects to
get his committee to work within a few days
to consult upon his report There will be
ho ruction in this committee as there was in
tliffOates committee of the. House last ses
sion, which committee, it will be remem
bered, rejected the report prepared by its
own Chairman. Jndge)ates,tnereupon,.in
the last hours of the' session, and in no good
humoT, presented his own report, which
may or maj Hot be beard of again. The
rest of the committer do not seem to have
any inclination to report at all.
The Pennsylvanlans in Congress were all
in their seats to-day with the exception of
Griswold, of tbe Erie district, who was not
a candidate for re-election, who was really
disgusted with Congressional life and who
will probably see as little of this session as
he can. Senators Quay and Cameron were
both in their seals, Quay looking so sun
burnt that one might almost mistake him
for an Indian from Indian river, instead of
a Senator irom that delightful Florida re
gion. Should the Senator's health remain
good he may sit through the session, but
otherwise he will try to recruit at inter
vals in his Southern home. He expects to
rusticate in Harrisburg, with several other
distinguished gentlemen, lor a short time
after the first of January.
MR. CLEVELAND ASHORE.
He Lands at Lalicwood With His Tamlly.
and a Dress-Suit Case.
Xakewood, N. J., Dec. 6. President
elect Cleveland arrived here at fi:25, the
train being 15 minutes late. Mr.MCleve-
land was accompanied by his wife, who
went to New York this morning to meet
him, and Francis P. Freeman, who will
have the Clevelands as his guests until
they occupy the cottage which they have
leased lor the season.
There was a large crowd waiting at the
station. As soon as it had stopped Mr.
Cleveland stepped lightly from it, fol
lowed by Mrs. Clevelaud, Baby Buth and
Mr. Freeman, whose carnase was awaiting
the party. Before entering the carriage
Mr. Cleveland stopped and cordially
greeted the assemblage, shaking hands
with all. The party was driven to the
Freeman residence.
Mr. Cleveland looked well pleased with
his reception, but seemed to have lost
weight since he left here last spring. Mr.
Freeman, when asked how long he ex
pected to have Mr. Cleveland as a guest,
said: "I can tell you nothing about Mr.
Cleveland's plans, as I do not as yet know,
he Laving told me nothing as to his future
movements. It is very probable that the
President-elect intends to stay only a few
days here at present, his only baggage beiug
a dress suit case."
FIGHTING FOR UNIONISE
A Crisis IneritaDle In the Glass Industry
of Brldgeton, X. J.
BbidGetos. 2"". J., Dec & The work of
unionizing tbe non-union glass factories
here is proceeding rapidly. Of the 125 blow
ers employed by the Cumberland Manufac
turing Company, 93 of them have joined the
union. Manager Basset?., of the Cumber
land Company, io-day discharged 16 of the
men upon their acknowledgment that they
would strike work if ordered to do so by
the union. It is said that the apprentices
at the Cumberland works may be called out
soon and work stopped.
The men in the other non-nnion works
here are expected to fall into line soon and
join the union, and the men expect to have
no difficulty in winning the fight. No ques
tion of wages is involved, but simply a con
test as to whether the works shall be'union
or non-union.

HOW THE LATE ELECTION STRUCK THEM
IFFXnAI. TltlHORAM TO Tit DlipATOT.!
Philadelphia, Dec. 5. One of the
most exciting discussions ever held by the
Presbyterian'midlsters of Philadelphia was
that at their weekly meeting to-day, on the
recent campaign and its results. The breeze
was oaused by a paper by Bev. Dr. David
"Wills, entitled "An Impartial Eeview of
Becent Public Events." It dwelt princi
pally on the result of the late election.
"Thevotoe of the people," Dr. "Wills
said, "is fhe voice of God. As Presbyteri
ans we fell proud in our Chief Magistrate,
and when he retires to private life a mighty
volume of commendation will follow him.
Els successor also knows the Presbyterian
catechism by heart. It seems that Presby
terians are the stuff from which Presidents
and Cabinet Officers ate made."
The Doctor then gave the views of differ
ent individuals as to the cause of the up
heaval There was a growing dissatisfac
tion, he declared, regarding monopoly and
boodle and the rum power at the polls. He
dreaded the present system of immigiatlon,
and spoke of various dangers to tne Ameri
can Republic.
How the Discussion "Was Opened.
The discussion was opened by Bev. Dr.
Stevenson, who declared himself to be per
fectly satisfied with tbe result of the recent
election. He was followed by Dr. Sulli
van, who declared himself a Bepublican by
conviction and choice. He said he was -not
satisfied with the outcome of tbe election,
but believed that God ruled and that the
Government would be saved after tho 4th
of March. He attributed the defeat of his
party to two causes. One was the wire
pulling element which attended the Minne
apolis convention. "In the next place,"
said he, "I believe that Blaine, Quay,
Piatt and others had been antagonized, and
if it was the voice of the people that de
feated President Harrison I am snre it was
the voioe of God on account of the opposi
tion to these men."
Bev. Dr. Bolton declared that tbe causes
Of the recent result .were .hard to see. It
waa the people who caused the result,
.which showed that the people -are going to
think for themselves, whether for good or
evil. "I jJfirj belter? "h continued,
''that the Democratic party has a majority
in this country. It was the result of put
ting money intbe hands of ,a class."
One "Who Totes as a Christian. ,
Bev. DnT Brown' declared he was neither
a Democrat, Bepublican nor Mngwump,but
always voted as a Christian. "The cause
of the great upheaval originated in some,"
said he, "when orders were issued from the
Tatiean to the bishops of France and
America to hae Catholics support certain
candidates. It is clear that tbe next Post
master General will be a Boman Catholic,
and that all postmasters under him will be
Catholics."
Dr. LogaD, of Scranton, never made a
political speech in his life, but judging
from the signs of the times he believed that
the next war would be between the ig
norant and intelligent. Bev. Dr. Thomas
A. Hoyt here arose in a state of much ex
citement and said: "Some of the speeches
made here this morning display more politi
cal ignorance than tbe ordinary voter. One
man says that Harrison quarreled with
Quay,and Dr. Bolten says the Democrats are
in a minority. "Why, there were more Dem
ocratic votes cast four years ago than Re
fmblican. Dr. Logan thinks that the negro
n the South has been disfranchised. I say
that it was an outrage that the ballot was
ever put into; tbe hands of the negro. I
feel in a state of hilarity, over the result of
the election."
The Party Called on by God.
Bev. Dr. Charles A. Dickey said: 1
have been a Bopublican, and I believe that
it is the party which God will call in,o
ower when the country is in danger. I
elieve that tbe rebellion is not yet over.
We were compelled not only to light rebel
lion the labt time, but also Romanism.
Ther were united with rntn before and de
feated a good man. I possess the letter of
a Catboho bishop which says that the day
of retribution has come. Mr. Cleveland
had a Boman Catholic for Iudian Commis
sioner, and plans are already on foot lor the
appointment of another. Bishops have al
ready been pleading. I will send these let
ters, which I possess, to Mr. Cleveland.
The possibility is that the Postmaster Gen
eral will be" a Boman Catholic It has
oome to the time when we should be ready
to take up arms against Catholicism."
The last speaker Was Bev. Dr. Bobert H.
Fulton, who expressed himself as sorry at
the attacks made on Catholics, and said:
"I do not fear the Catholic question in the
least Beference was made by a previous
speaker to tbe sermon of Cardinal Gibbons,
preached before the election. I have read
the sermon, aud I would have preached Uio
same doctrine from my owfi pulpit, and I
am sorry that I bad not a copy ot it. The
Cardinal merely urges the members of his
great congregation to be honest at the
polls.
One Who Wants No Bitter Peelings.
"I am sorry that Catholics have been as
saulted in this way. Tbe salvation of souls
does not depend on the triumph ot Protest
ants or Catholics, and when we get to such
a position that those bitter feelings will be
forzotteu the better it will be tor all. I
refer my hearers to McMaster's 'History of
America. I was in lavor ot Air. Blaine,
and was sorry be was not nominated. My
second chuice was Cleveland, although I
voted for Harrison.-"
The time having expired the Moderator
declared tbe meeting adjourned amid much
excitement.

' THE HUMAN GARDEN.
Doctors Say His Stomsch Fostered Vege
tation for months.
Long Bbanch, Deo. 5. The case of
Elmer Perrine, whose stomach for six
weeks past has been utilized as a human
vegetable garden, has been much commented
upon by physiciani here. Mr. Perrine a
couple of months ago ate at a dinner a num
ber of small pickled green peppers. He
had eaten them many times before, but had
never experienced any ill effect While at
work in the latter part of Ootober be was
taken violently ill at the stomach and was
compelled to go home.
Dr. George A. Baker, after a rigid exam
ination, came to the conclusion that some
thing must be growing in Pern ne's stomach.
He administered an emetic. Perrine threw
up four greeu peppers, all in a flourishing
condition of growth and about an inch and
a half long. The. patient experienced great
relief and said he felt 100 per cent better.
Dr. Baker felt that the truck patch in the
unfortunate man's stomach had not been
completely uprooted, and Perrine himself
told the doctor a few, hours afterward that
he reared his stomach bad not been cleared.
The emetic was repealed Friday and four
more full grown peppers came from the
stomach. This time the change for the
better in the patientVcondif ion was more
marked than at 'firstr and he has since
gained so rapidly that his complete re
covery is merely a question of a few days.
CRISPI TURNS REPUBLICAN.
The Pope Highly Elntod Over a Speech by
His Old Adversary.
Bosie, Dec. 5. Emperor William a
short time ago offered through private
agencies outside the regular diplomatic
channel to make concessions to the Pdpe
for the Catholics in Germany if His Holi-
ness would influence the Center party to
vote for the army bill. The Pope refused,
not desiring to interrupt the friendly rela-
tions with France and Russia.
The Vatican is satisfied with a recent
speech made bv Signor Crispi, ex-Prime
Minister, revealing a spirit of republican
ism, which mar be taken as a first warning
to the King. The speeoh was an indication
that the South does not adhere strongly to
the monarchv, and that the present situa
tion bids finally to lead to the triumph of
republicanism. The Pope has said, "At a
time when old Crispi is preparing himself
for such a future, the monarchy must be

HUNTING
A PASSENGER WRECK.
Uniontown Express Collides With
Two Engines at PennsTillc.
CONDUCTOR JACK PITCAIEN HURT.
Tozen or More Teople Badly Cut and
Braised in the Accident.
CARELESS WORK OP A FREIGHT CREW
A bad collision occurred on the South
west branch of the Pennsylvania road at
the Ponnsville siding yesterday afternoon.
The TJulontown express, of which A. J.
Pitcairn is conductor, ran into two freight
engines. The passenger train was running
at the rate of 40 miles per hour, and it was
miraculous that nobody was killed. As it
is Jack Pitcairn, the conductor, and a son of
a Councilman from the Eighth ward, was
badly hurt about the left shoulder and
back, and a number of other passengers
were more or less injured. The list follows:
JAMES M. WILSON, or Pennsvllle, azod 48
years, badly injured about tue head. He
was taken to hu'nomfuiearby.
MUs.MAUr W1NGBOVE, a yonns widow.
"Injured about the face. Snollvf.ant Penns
vllle, aud was nolo to walk to ber house.
J. l KUFFNEB, of Uniontown, slightly In
jured.
CIIAKLES KUFPXEB, of Tnlontown, a son
of J. F. IinfTnor, hurt In the mouth. Father
and son did not think they noeded medi
cal attention.
ANNIE KUECK, daughter of Mike Kieck, a
Hungarian, who lives at Pennsvllle, nurt
in the mouth. Ber face is supposed to
have strnck the seat ahead of ber In the
collision.
G. W. BUOWN. commercial traveler from
Cincinnati, rtzht arm sprained.
J. It. DKECKER, drummer from Alliance,
both le.js sprained. He remained at Scott
dale over night to rest,
A Scottdale Woman Badly Injured.
MRS. HANNAH WEIBEL, of Scottdale,
badly injured in tbe back. Doctor stated
showas seriously hurt and suffered In
tense pain.
JOHN ADAMSON, of Jeannette; cut about
the eye.
J. J. McGUIRE, Jr., of Pittsburg, express
messenger and a son of Councilman J. J.
JIcGuIre; left arm slightly Injured.
J. M. iiAMUEET, of Pittsburg, postal clerk;
lee sprained anu neaa mjureu
JOHN STRAUB, or Pittsburg, baggage mas
ter: bead badly cut.
JOHN SPAKGO, Pittsburg, passenger brake
man; nose cut.
A J. PITCAIKN, Pittsburg, conductor; left
shoulder and back badly injured.
The collision occurred in a very simple
manner. The two freight engines were go
ing from Scottdale to Connellsville, and
bad orders to run on the Pennsville siding
until the Uniontown express had
passed. " When they reached the
siding a freight train was on it,
and occupied the, nearest end. Tbe engi
neer decided to take tbe chances of running
to the farthest end of the siding and back
ing inl Before this was accomplished, the
passenger train came along. The collision
occurred on a narrow curve. Fortunately
the freight engines were moving slowly,
and when struck were pushed backward.
If two solid trains had crashed together the
carnage would have been frightful. Engineer

A Very Serious Wreck.
When the wreck happened Conductor
Jack Pitcairn was busy taking up tickets.
He was thrown against the side of the car
and badly bruised. Coming in on the train
Inst evening Dr. Deffenderter, of the relief
service, examined him. He did not
think any hones were broken, but he
couldn't tell whether the popular and
eenlnl conductor was injured internally or
not. It is possible a few ribs may have
been fractured. He suffered Intensely from
the bruises on his shoulder and back. His
brother, who is trainmaster of tbe road,
said Jack was weak in the back and he
hoped for the best A West Penn ambu
lance was called and took him home. He
requested the men to handle him gently as
his shoulder pained him.
Baggage Master Straub, with his head
bandaged in a red bandanna, said it was one
ot the worst wrecks he was ever in. The
passenger engine was badly damaged, and
the express and baggage cars were partially
derailed. He claimed the freight engines
were running on the passenger's time, and
they didn't send out any flagman. The
baggage was piled up aro-nd him, and for
about two hours lie didn't know whether he
was liviuc or dead.

Favor on Every Point.
Williajisport, Pa., Dec 5. Hon. W.
W. Hart, master and examiner in the suit
of Matthew Armot against tbe Philadelphia
and Beading and the other corporations in
terested in the Beading deal, filed his re
port this afternoon. Mr. Hart finds for the
combine in every point in controversy. He
says that the Philadelphia and Beading and
the Lehigh Valley Railroads are not par
allel and competing.and that the lease of the
Lehigh Valley Bail road by the Philadel

tion of the Constitution of Pennsylvania.
He finds further that the Central Bailroad
Company of New Jersey, and the Port
Beading Bailroad, of New Jersey, are both
corporations of ths State of New Jersey,
and that tbe lease of the Central Bailroad
of New Jersey to the Port Beading Ball
road Company is not in violation of the
Constitution of Pennsylvania, as the Con
stitution can have no extra-territorial ef
fects. The coal leases are; also, sustained by the
master, on the ground that no more than 30
per cent of the coal output of the anthracite
coal regions of Pennsylvania is produced or
controlled by the Philadelphia and Reading
Coal and Iron Compauy, thcXehlgh Valley .
Coal Company and the' Lehigh and Wilkes

CHICAGO'S BIG VICTORY.
The Supreme Court Decision nailed With
Joy in the Windy City.
Chicago, Dec Si The victory of the
city in the lake front case in the United
Slates Supreme Court to-day elves the most
unbounded satisfaction to all members of
the city government and to the public gen
eral 1 v. The Illinois Central officials and
attorneys, however, are bitterly disap
pointed, for it means that they cannot go
on making land along the lake shore, and
that the right to build wharves and docks
In the harbor does not belong to them, but
to the city. It causes no direct money loss
to tbe Illinois Central.
For many years the railroad has been
filling up the lake with great industry, and
the land it has made is worth many millions
of dollars, but the decision denies the right
of the railroad to go beyond the present
construction, and a free and unobstructed
harbor on Lake Michigan is restored to the
city. The decision also settles the fact that
the bed ot navigable waters cannot be dis
posed of to the exclusion ot the rights of
the public

GEEAT GROWTH OP SUCH SESTIUEHT
rSFXCIAI. TXLEGBAM TO THE DTSrlTCIT.J
Ottawa, Ont., Dec 5. Public opinion
on' this side of the line is bsing freely can
vassed just now, and those v ho a year ago
would hardly dare give expression to their
views on the question of Political Union
with the United States now come openly
ont with their declarations indorsing ths
movement.
The Woodstock Sentinel, fp discussing tbe
question, says: "The attempt to suppress
by force those who believe in Political
Union might be attended with inconven
ience and difficulty. When we are not able
to answer annexationists, but attempt to
put them down by personal violence, their
victory is won. The only way to suppress
the annexationists is to remove the evils of
which they justly complain. With more
political honesty, progressive statesman
ship and fiscal freedom in this country
their agitation would soon die out. It re
ceives almost its entire impetus from the
idiocy of the paid patriots who would re
sort to personal violence"
The Subject Mast Be Discussed.
The Bobcaygeon Indfpaulent says: "This
snbject of annexation has to be discussed.
It cannot be disposed of by calling its ad
vocates traitors. To attempt persecution of
the annexationists is only to advance their
cause. There is by far the largest half of
the people of Ontario who hold strongly to
British connections, but the national polioy
has been forcine the people in an opposite
direction, and unless a change is made in
the conditions, Ontario will be annexed in
job lota There are more Canadians in
the States than there are in Ontario. Then
is it not time that the conditions were
chanced?
"Macdonaldism, boodling and national
policv are carryin? Ontario into the Ameri
can Union. This thing must be stopped,
and the only way to stop it is to treat Mac
donaldism in Canada as McKinleyism has
been treated in the States. Kick it higher
than a kite These last words of warning
should be carefully noticed by Conserva
tives. Ther mnst abandon the national
policr rigllt ofij and get rid of the Mac
d ou aid banditti. If they do not, Ontario
will trot ahead and atable itself comfort
ably in the Union."
Canada Not Growing Fast Enough.
The Brockville Recorder sayst "There are,
so far as we know, very few annexationists
in this section, but it is evident the idea is
gaining ground in the West. That the feel
ing of dissatisfaction with our present con
dition is not confined to the West nor the
Liberal party alone is beyond doubt Wo
are not growing as we ought. We are not
as prosperous as our immense natural re
sources warrant us in thinking we onzht to
be. We are tuxed very heavily in "many
ways for immense aud costly public works
designed to promote the growth and com
merce of the country, and still the tale told
by the oensus is not satisfactory.
"The Liberals believe tbat an hobest gov
ernment, actuated by a desire to promote
the interests of the masses and not the
classes, would give the country a chance to
expand and increase in strength and pros
perity and population; tbat, freed from
the restrictions of protective tariffs and
from the demoralizing influences of polit
ical corruption and robbery ot the public
money, we would assume the place among
the countries of tbe earth we ought to oc
cupy. So far, however, the machinery em
ployed by an unscrupulous government,
whose sole desire is to remain in power, has
prevented this, and thee are many signs
tbat the growing dissatisfaction is spread
ing very fast."
The Breach Bapldly Widening.
The St. John Ttiigraph says: "It seems to
be prettv generally accepted, not only in
Montreal but throughout Canada, that the
present relations between the mother coun
try and Canada cannot be very long main
tained. -The 'glorious dream' of imperial
federation is undoubtedly looked upon by
the masses as more or less impracticable
aud visionary."
The Sf. John Globe says: "In a very short
time this country will be alive with tbe
fires of a new political agitation of a
more sweeping character than any we hava
yet had. At the Liberal political conven
tion in South Norfolk tbe other day ths
political union of the United States and
Uanaaa was ravorea Dy many ox mo
speaker. On Friday night last tbe Hon.
J. a Patterson, Secretary of State was
banqueted, 'irrespective of party, as a com
pliment to him on removing his residence
to Ottawa. The gentleman chosen to pre
side over this feast to a Conservative mem
ber was thst eminent Conservative advocate
of annexation, Solomon White, M. P. P."
Mora. Marked From Week to Week.
The Irith Canadian, one of the most influ
ential organs of tbe Irish party in Canada,
says: "Where or how this hankering after
annexation, becoming more marked from
week to week, is going to end. it is difficult
to sav. but that the annexation fever is
spreading can not be denied expect by
w rench ot conscience. The other day it was
at Listowel that the voice of tho
'political unionist' was .heard; to-day
be is heard at Simcoe, and to-morrow he
will be heard somewhere else, so that be is
making things lively all around. We were
not, however, prepared for the scoop which
took place at Simcoe, where the Beform As
sociation of the town, body and bones, went
clean over to Sol White, the first of ths
apostles wherprrached the doctrine of politi
cal union with tbe Dominion and Uncle
Sam."
A writer in the -London, (Ontario) Fret
Frcsi, the organ of the Dominion Govern
ment has become alarmed. He says: "It has
been asked what is the use ot holding meet
ings id lavor of British connection. I think
tbe question can b'e easily answered as fol
lows: Meetings are being held throughout
the country to create a feeling for political
nnion with the United States. Now it is
in order to counteract the' efforts of these
political annexationists, that these meet
fngsMn favor of British connection are re
quisite." t
