"' ,*'^ ' , , FRENCH CANADIANS FAVOR ANNEXATION They Fear Loss of .Their Identity and Special Privileges if Canada Should Become IndependentThey Are Less Amenable to Clerical Li Influence Than Formerly. Special to The Journal. Montreal, Nov. 9.The anger against Great Britain which the Alas kan boundary award has aroused In Canada, has caused Canadians to think seriously concerning their national future. The fact that Canada is but a colony has been brought home to Canadians in a particularly plain and irritating fashicn. The galling char acter of the colonial status is felt by all and there is a general agreement that it must cease. Some look to im perial federation and an equal partner ship with Great Britain in national af fairs as a remedy. Others look to in dependence. Some look to annexation with the United States. Many are adopting the Balfourian attitude of the "open mind," and are balancing the arguments in favor of the two latter alternatives. The French-Canadians are taking a prominent part In the discussion. La Presse of Montreal, which has the largest circulation of any paper in Can ada, whether French or English, re joices that the plain speaking in dulged in by the English-Canadian press gives the French-Canadians a chance of frankly discussing Canada's relations with Britain without the English-Canadian press having the op portunity to misinterpret their motives and to sneer at their loyalty. And the French-Canadians are taking this chance to do some very plain speaking on their own account. As the French Canadians number 1,649,371 out of Canada's total population of 5,371,315, they constitute an important factor. It comes somewhat as a surprise to many Canadians to find French-Cana dians declaring frankly in favor of an nexation to the United States. Sir Etienne Tache, years ago, made the memorable declaration that "the last shot to be fired in defense of British connection on this continent would be fired by a French-Canadian" and that maxim has become a political com monplace. The French-Canadians se cured so many special privileges from Great Britain after the conquest of Quebec in order to prevent them from allying themselves with the discon tented British colonies to the south, that it has been assumed they would strenuously oppose the severance of British connection in order to retain these special privileges. But annexa tion is being to-day openly advocated in this unexpected quarter. "life Combat" fop Annexation. In its last issue Le Combat of Mon treal declares In favor of annexation. It concedes that events have made a continuation of the present colonial status impossible, and gives Its rea sons for preferring annexation to in dependence as follows: Independence (i. e. French-Canadian In dependence) would certainly be our ideal position. But it is useless to think of that. We are unarmed. The French-Ca nadian race, sacrificed by the shortsight edness of the men who marked out its fu ture life, is fated to disappear. However, painful that may be. it must be admitted , for it is useless to shut our eyes to facts/ We shall never be independent. The only thing that remains for us is to annex ourselves to the neighboring repub lic. Let each of our provinces be a state, and send two senators and its members of congress to Washington. We shall then have a complete organization. We shall not be submitting to any crown we shall conserve a considerable portion of ourCanada autonomy, and we shall enjoy a large in dependence individually and, above all, we shall cease to be a colony. The French-Canadian race will not lose more than it does to-day in the eastern states, where our compatriots occupy high positions in all branches of the administra tion of public affairs. Besides, no fron tier will separate us from the members of our families who live in the great republic. A sentiment of equality characteristic of the Yankees will replace the narrowness of view of the English-Canadians, and in tellectual force, talent and labor will be recompensed without any question as tovince. the nationality of individuals. The general opinion Is in favor of annex ation which will come, even if Mr. Chamberlain opposes it. Le Combat may not voice the senti ments of all French-Canadians but it is the organ of a considerable section of the younger and more _progessive element. Changes Among French-Canadians. A great change has occurred in the French-Canadians of recent years. With the spread of education and the increased circulation of newspapers, they are not as much under clerical influence as formerly. Increased transportation facilities have led to wider travel, and to the broadening of ideas. Large numbers have emigrated to New England. Some have returned, temporarily or permanently, and have brought back American ideas. The correspondence of others with their friends and relatives at home has had a similar result. The French-Cana dian does not rely on his priest and bishop for direction in secular affairs to the same extent that he once did. The special privileges accorded by the British government at the conquest were given chiefly to the church. The right to tithes was one and the spe cial privileges in regard to the use of the French language and the perpetu ation of the French civil law have furthered the ecclesiastical policy of keeping the French-Canadians a dis tinct people over which the church could exercise special control. The NATURE'S OWN CURE Hyomei Cures Catarrh Without Dan gerous Drugging of the Stomach. Not until Hyomei was discovered has it been possible to truthfully say that a remedy for catarrh was known. This remedy is breathed through the Hyomei Inhaler for a few minutes four times a day, and during that time every particle of air taken into the air passages and lungs is impregnated with the germ-killing and health-giv ing Hyomei. It is the only treatment that cures catarrh. Stomach drugging often causes dis ordered digestion or brings on some other diseases and never makes a per manent cure of catarrh. Hyomei not only kills the germs in the throat and nose, but penetrates to the minutest air cells in the lungs and enters the blood with the oxygen, killing the germs In the blood. It frees the mucous membrane from poisonous microbes end gives perfect health. A complete outfit costs but $1.00, and includes an inhaler, dropper and /sufficient Hyomei for several weeks' ^treatment. VoegeU Bros., corner Washington and Hennepin avs, have so much faith ,In the merit of Hyomei that they agree i to return the money to any purchaser who may be dissatisfied. ' ' " r ' T MONDAY EVENING T - VENING,/f. *." ^^Iv^^V 5 im*ito* mrm n*m church has, naturally, been in favor of the maintenance of tne status quo. The church would, no doubt, to-day be inclined to use its influence to per petuate the present condition of af fairs, and oppose either Canadian in dependence or annexation. But the church received in 1896 a lesson which taught it that its sway is not absolute as of yore, and that, if it would con trol, it must follow, not' drive. Tho, in 1896, the bishops lent all their force to secure the return of the Tupper government, which had introduced in the federal parliament the remedial bill for the restoration of Roman Cath olic separate schools in Manitoba, the French-Canadians were more im pressed with the idea of making one of themselves premier of Canada than with the idea of restoring the priv ileges of the French Roman Catholic minority in the prairie province and the province of Quebec, despite the mandaments of the bishops, over whelmingly defeated the Tupper gov ernment and gave for Wilfrid Laurier, the French-Canadian leader of the op position, an enormous majority, which was still further Increased at the elec tion of 1901. The "Habitant" Fears Militarism. "Notre langue, notre religion et nos lois" is a cry which still appeals with irresistible force to the French-Cana dian. The question the French-Cana dian has to face is by what course his language, his religion and his laws can be best preserved. The ideal of a French republic on the banks of the St. Lawrence, which for many years was vaguely looked forward to, is now recognized to be an impossible dream, as Le Combat admits. To Imperial federation, the French-Canadian has shown a strong version. This was strikingly shown at the time Canada sent troops to assist Britain in the South African war. This step was vehemently opposed by the vast ma jority of the French-Canadians, re gardless of political divisions. The French-Canadians insisted on Its be ing specifically declared by the gov ernment that this should afford no precedent for the future. The French-Candian "habitant" has a dread of war, and equally fears the burden of taxation for military expen diture. He objects to being drawn into the vortex of European militar ism, and to the idea of having to shed his children's blood and spend his money in the foreign wars of Great Britain, the hereditary foe of his mother-land. This is what he con ceives imperial federation involves. He also believes that, by imperial fed eration, the identity of his race would be swallowed up and lost in the vast conglomerate of a consolidated em pire. These are his chief reasons for opposing imperial federation. Distrust of English-Canadians. To Canadian independence, also, the French-Canadian sees many ob jections. He mistrusts the English Canadians. In the other provinces than Quebec, and especially in the dominant province of Ontario, are many who would gladly see the spe cial privileges of the French-Cana dians wiped out. Racial and reli gious differences have been accentu ated by long and hereditary antagon ism. The French-Canadian now en Joys his special privileges by virtue of British legislation. For diplomatic reasons, the British government is never likely.to cancel them. But let become independent let her be no longer bound by British trea ties, obligations and understandings, let the British North America act be torn up and replaced by a Canadian made constitution-and the French Canadian would be at the mercy of the English majority. As immigra tion increased, the French-Canadian minority would become relatively smaller. The French-Canadian has already seen, on a small scale, what would be likely to happen to him. The province of Manitoba was founded originally as a French pro Similar privileges to those of Quebec were conferred on the French of Manitoba. But they were con ferred by Canadian, and not by direct British legislation. To-day the French population of Manitoba num bers only 16,021 out of a total pop ulation of 255,211. Even the Ger mans in Manitoba largely outnumber the French, being 27,265 while the population of English, Scotch and Irish origin is more than ten-fold the French population, being 164,239. The official use of the French lan guage in that province has been abol ished and the Roman Catholics have been deprived of their separate schools which were thought to have been guaranteed to them by the act creating the province. The French representation in the legislature has become almost a negligible quantity. What has happened to the French in Manitoba, the French-Canadian fears, would happen to the French thruout Canada were Canada independent and the French-Canadian minority de pendent solely on the good will of the majority. The French-Canadian alsfc foresees that, were Canada independ ent, she would have to increase large ly her expenditure and taxation for defense. Even if there were no great danger to be apprehended from Euro pean powers, there would always be the possibility of complications with the United States. And the French Canadian's aversion to war makes him dread the possibility of the homesteads of Quebec being overrun by an invading American army. Annexation the Only Alternative. The only alternative is annexation. The French-Canadian does not look upon annexation as a thing in itself en tirely desirable it is a choice of evils. But he reasons that, In joining the American republic, he would, at least, be Joining a confederacy that his mother-land, France, helped into ex istence. If it had to be a question of absorption, this, at least, would be ab sorption into a neutral power. It would not be like being swallowed up by the Canadian English, against whom he has so long struggled to pre serve his autonomy. They, also, in this event would lose their identity the same as himself. To that extent, his pride of race would be saved. He be lieves, tho, it is possible the prov ince of Quebec, as a state of the union, could better conserve its autonomy than as a part of independent Canada. He argues that, under the American constitution, the state of Quebec would be able to make its own laws in re gard to religion, divorce, education, civil rights and the official use of the French language for state purposes, almost as effectually as can the prov ince of Quebeo in the Dominion of Canada to-day. H e thinks that the influence of his race in the American republic would be stronger than in an independent Canada for there are al ready 395,297 French-Canadian born people in the United States, who, with those of French-Canadian origin born in the states, amount to considerably over half a million and there is a considerable French element in Louisiana *nd several' pthec o* THE MINNEAPOLIS JOUENAL. r Come Tuesday-The first of the last four days.

From an ecclesiastical point of view, he would be much stronger, for the Roman Catholic church is much more powerful in the United States than it is in Canada outside of the province of Quebec. Then, as a part of the United States, he would have little fear of war. The United States maintaining but a small stand ing army, and having few foreign com plications likely to result in its terri tory on this continent being attacked, he would be free from the specter of invasion, militarism and heavy taxa tion for defense. Commercially, he is inclined to believe that annexation might benefit him. At present, wages in the province of Quebec are very low compared with what they are across the boundary line. Those of his com patriots who have gone to New Eng^ land have done much better financial ly. American enterprise, he suspects, would probably, under annexation, make the .province of Quebec, so rich in natural resources and waterpower, as important a manufacturing state as some of the New England states.
