In that way they might get some of their money back, HE CANADIANS do not take kindly to the proposition to come to these arms; but if they want to avoid the embrace they had better make haste to behave themselves. 4 : 2=NRY GEORGE returned princi- back ag: pally for the purpose of going in, OME ONE asked a Phil Daly badge felt.“ Badger than 1 ever felt before,” he simply said.

ITTLE GIRL, joining in convers: tion regarding the ills of mankind Well, my doctor baptized me three times and it never tooked once. ISS DEBAR weighed about fifty pounds more when she got away from than when she went to Black- well’s island. ‘That is a pro-fat in- stitution, and whoever values: his health had better keep away from it. HEN ONE looks at the money spent for votes in this city, one finds relief, if he is a Democrat, by pointing the finger of scorn at Colonel W. W. Dudley. MATTHEW QUAY had a headache after interviewing Harrison. As for the latter, he never gets it. He does the listening and lets the other man do the talking. A POND Miss Cusmxatox (coming T shall die!"

NICE LITTLE SUM. [t IS CALCULATED that $1,200,000 were spent by the Democrats to keep the government of this city. This shows the disadvantage of having two Democratic parties. That ‘money might have been saved toa large extent. However, the taxpayers are very liberal, and are not likely to growl over a little addition like that to their financial responsibilities. This is a good-hearted world, and New York is about the centre of it. HENRY’S WEAKNESS. NEW STORY of a new love by Stanley shows that he was more timid in his last effort than in his first. In the latter he proposed and was rejected, and in the former he got another to propose for him and the result was properly no answer, the second having the requisite affection but lacking the necessary cheek. Stanley has been a very brave but a’ very stupid man, and he will never live long enough, if he isn’t dead, to recover from either of those afflictions. LET US SING. THE: JUDGE need not wish anybody a happy new year. All its old friends stay with it, and new ones are coming by thousands every week. ‘That ensures happiness to us and the same blessing to half the country. The blessing “ whistles itself” and comes, like sunshine and shade, without wish or prayer or effort, In a few days we shall have Harrison for president, and by that ime there will be political as well social and domestic glory. All peace. Allis well. It will bea happy new year, and three happy years will follow it. ANNEXATION-LESS HASTE MORE SPEED. MONG the mental epidemics that have occasional and brief periods of rise and collapse is the one now dis- turbing the public mind on Canadian annexation. Senator Sherman is one of the victims, and Congressman But- terworth is severely affected. Itis now about fifty years since a similar excite- ment and similar advocacy ran_ its course and died of inanition, It istrue that half a century ago the great re- public had less attractive force than now, less resources and lighter ties of commercial interest with its neighbor. At that time-not only the boundary line of our western wilderness, and the Canadian,was undefined, but the Rocky mountains were a border-fence, mar- gining unexplored and unchristened territories. California was a northward political promontory of Mexico, its climate not appreciated, its riches undreamed, and while lightly held was as yet unwon. Railroads, excepting a few short, immature, and non- paying lines, had no existence. The great lakes and the St. were at once bond and division between the loyal English colonies and the states, Yet they were, at that time, in our and their mutual semi- development, in the same relative conditions as now. The solicitation to Canada to join the United States is not a new pro- position, but an old one warmed over. Do we want it? Is not our own unsettled country sufficiently large for the easy absorption of another cen- tury of our own and imported populations? Canada is not as yet weaned from its British parent, Its subjects are largely but the transferred sub- jects of the mother country. Only second-growths are emancipated think- ers. Hereditary obsequiousness and truculence to title work out of the blood in the remove of a single generation. Time is the surest and safest braider of commercial and political union. Canada will ultimately become independent or voluntarily join the republic. ‘This continent is not a breeder of monarchies, and our northern neighbor is as little likely as the United States to adopt the mediaval form of government. We neither want to conquer nor coax the Canadian union, When the political fruit is ripe it will drop, and any earlier attempt at absorption will bring dissatis- faction and distress, The western portion of the Dominion has a vast breadth of cultivable land; the eastern is but a comparative narrow belt between the Gulf of St. Lawrence and sterility. The Canadian northwest has a climate as temperate as Illinois, and the Canadian northwest holds EXTRACT. n hart)}—"* If anybody's looking —"When you get through there, It’s all snowed over.” comicbooks.com
