Annexation.
The proposition to annex Canad:l
to the United States is one which is
not so very much relished by our
contemporaries across the line.
Mr. Sherman’s proposition of an
nexation includes the proposition to
assume, on the part of the United
States, the entire national debt of
Canada, which is three hundred mill~
ions of dollars. It includes the pur
chase on the part of the United
States, of Government. buildings and
works; and the payment of all debts
of government contraction. It also
guarantees to the states to be formed
north of the present boundary line
alfthe rights and privileges of Amer
ican citizens and full and equal ben
efits of governmental protection and
commerce. .
To an American mind the advans
tages would seem to be vastly more
than the disadvantages. It may be
be that the average Canadian can see
some reason why the present exist‘
ing dependence on Great Britain is
preferable to independence, and yet
we have watched the press of British
Columbia closely and have found no
reason that seemed to us to be co~
gent or satisfactory. We think that
no other Colonial government has
ever been so free a is Canada today,
and had George 111 treated his colo
nies as Queen Victoria treats hers,
the Revolutionary war would not
have been fought when it was. Still
we believe self—government is vastly
preferable to dependence. If Great
Britain should engage in a great and
long continued war with any firsts
class maratine power, Canada would:
sufi'er greatly.
Annexation would put the whole of
North America under Republican
government, and nearly all under
one flag. It would remove trouble
some customs restrictions where
there is no need of such restrictions
so far as the two countries them~
selves are concerned.
It would promote enterprise along
the border.
It would help very much in the so
lution of the Chinese problem.
It would put the whole of this
great inland sea under our flag, and
make it much more easily defensible
than it now is. \
It would open the great lakes to‘
a commercial freedom that would be
get immense wealth.
It would aid much in the detection
and punishment of crime in both
countries. ‘
It certainly would be Very favoraw
ble to British Columbia mines and ‘
mills.
We believe the Canadians are a
liberty-loving. intelligent people. and
we, as Americans, cannot possibly
understand how they prefer depena
deuce to Great Britain to annexa
tion to the great Republic.

Irresponsible J ournalism
The Call. of this city, quoting
from the Whatcom Democrat, makes
a furious assault on the Aacus, for
quoting from the Reveille an article
on the action of Chas. Donovan in
regard to the court term at What
com. Mr. Donovan is clerk of the
District Court for Whatcom County.
The Reveille says that having receiv
ed the word from Judge Boyle, Mr.
Donovan failed to notify jurors that
there would be no term of court and
that said jurors came into Whatcom
and spent the day, the same costing
the county S3O, needlessly. This wasl
published in W hatcom and circulat
ed broadcast throughout the county
interested. The Democrat, Donovan’s
paper, made no whine until it saw
the clipping published in the Axons.
It then jumps up and down, howls
and says the Aaous is awfully irrest
ponsible for publishing such a state
ment from the Reveille. It does not
ideny but that the Reveille published
the report, but howls like a whipped
puppy that we published it. Its lit
tle echo, the Call. also Chas. Dono»
van’s paper (for all intents and pur
poses), published the twaddle with
great gusto, thinking thereby to score
the Aaous. It did not occur to the
Call that it was doing exactly the
same thing that it was grinding at the
Anovs. for doing, viz:—quoting with
out investigating. it has the word of
Chas. Donovan, we have the word of
Thos. Nichlin. Is not our authority
as good as theirs?
The denial is very ingenuous. In
the first place Donovan denies re
ceiving any word from Judge Boyle
that there would be no court session.
He further claims that he did notify
every juror that there would be no
court. Now, if he had no word from
the judge. what right had he to ' U
- o ‘1 . LI '
g 1? ihe" jurors? “one whatever
u .9 c er_ or the court has no right
or himself to prevent a court session
without convening it. “So the last
state of the man is worse than the
first.” '
Now the Axons maintains thatit
is not censurable for quoting from a
responsible journal like the Reveille.
It is not necessary to telegraph over
the country to find out wh ether our
contemporaries are telling the truth
unless they have established a repu
tation for untruthfulness. Of course
the Anocs does not quote from every :
paper as truth. If it did, it WOO“, :

That Challenge.
The following telegram from the
challenging party in the proposed
Weir-Andrews debate was received:

intentional. Wednesday, 31st, will
suit us as well. Answer.
S. ELLICOT‘I‘.
In answer to this two telegrams
were sent by Mr. Weir. as follows:

l To S. ELLleO'r'r, Seattle: Why

ALLEN \Vsm.
To these Mr. Ellicott replied:
SEATTLE, Oct. 26, 1888.
ALLEN WEIR: Voorliees speaks at
Spokane Falls Nov. sth.
S. ELLICOT'I'.
This telegram contains but seven
words. It came, rolled, clearly
proving that the democratic central
committee IS out of funds. It does
not at all accept the date proposed
by Mr. Weir. It simply hedges and
leaves the matter indefinite. It
seemed to be the policy of this chal
lenger to break into Mr. Allen’s pro~
gramme, but if that can not be done
they have no use for a debate. This
is the only rational conclusion. The
evening of the sth would be a most
excellent time for a discussion. It
would interfere with nobody’s en
gagements. If these great demo
cratic moguls want to “wind up

1 As to the cost of the telegram, the

Who in Port Townsend is bene

The above very pertinent inquiry
is copied from an illumination of
the late democratic street parade.
The Aaous desires to answer this
question and asks careful study of
its answer.
First. All persons who are em
ployed in the customs service of the
United States who are resident in or

customs service is maintained direct
ly out of the proceeds of the midi
No tarifl', no customs service is the
inevitable law. The higher the ter—

everybody employed there must

Third. All who are interested
either in the manufacture or ship
ment of lumbor on Puget Sound.
This great industry is directly fos~
tered and maintained by a high tar~
ifl'. Chinese labor in British Co
lumbia would ruin our lumber in
dustries in a single year but for the

Fourth. All who are interested
in the lime industry, either in its
manufacture or shipment. This is
one of the finest industries of the
lower Sound and many merchantsi
of this city sell goods by the boats:

The Great may.
Them was no booming of cannon
and needless consumption of cord
wood last evening, but for genuine
enthusia-m and executive energy the
rally was the grandest and most suc
cessful Port Townsend ever witness—
ed. The torchlight. procession was
magnificent. Instead of 47 torches.
as on Friday night, one—half of
which were ca'lfried by boys, there ‘
‘ Were considerably over one hundred
torches carried by voters.
The band made enthusiastic mu
sic and the grand procession moved
with a step of victory.
The Opera House was crowded to
its utmost, every seat being taken
and every foot of standing room be
ing occupied. A patriotic song was
sung and a lively strain played by
the band and then Hon. '_C. 1!. Brad
shaw. the chairman, introduced to
the audience Hon. John B. Allen.
Of course he was received with im
mense sounds of applause. His ap
pearance is youthful. His build is
slight. but lithe and ang His fore
head is very high and he impresses
you at once as a brainy man. His
address is pleasant and he deals with
you so that you feel at. once that he
is not playing little tricks of oratory
on you, but that he is addressing
your intelligence.
His speech was very fine. No
personal attacks. no nngentlemanly
thrusts. no vulgarisms, no old,
mouldy chestnum, no parade of stage
gestures. n) display of egotism, but
straight out, earnest, hard. common
sense.
His presentation of the tarifi'
question was simply uuausworable.
Tue value of protection to American
industries and to American labor
was so clearly set forth that we fail
to comprehend how any man of
sense could be a free trader.
His allusions to Mr. Chas. Voor
bees were ever gentlemanly, even in
the extreme. His caricature of Mr.
Voorhees’ record on the forfeiture
question was extremely laughable,
but clean enough for a lady‘s parlor.
Mr. Voorhees could not have object
ed had he been present to any word
spoken of him.
His own record as attorney was
met mentally and truthfully. He
made no concealment that his advice
and legal talent had been sought at
various times by different railroad
companies. He said he would have
been chagrined had he not have
been considered of euflicient worth
to have been so engaged. A demo.
gogue would have probably tried to
conceal this truth. Honest John
Allen stated it just as it was and left
no false impression. The man who
lined his pockets with Northern Pa
cific gold and then declared that he
would starve rather than except a fee
from that company, finds no parallel ;
in John B. Allen. Mr. Alien, as we‘
think, truthfully showed that Mr.
Voorhees was not working to admit
our territory. He was only playing
the demogogue with the democrats,
I for our humiliation. He claimed
that Dolph's bill for admission was
manly, fair and ‘plalh. Mr. Voorhees
was not Working for that bill but, for
the Springer omnibus bill which was
only an enabling act and alter the
whole formula of organization was
gone through it would then take a
votes! Gangtok to admit us. Mr.
Allen is in favor of the Dolph bill,
and if ton democrats could be found
in the House of Representatives to
favor our admission we could be ad
mitted in fifteen minute!” Mr.
Vool'hees With his alleged ignorant
Congress and republican obstruction
ists, not withstanding.
At the conclusion of Mr. Allen‘s
speech he referred very eloquently
to General Harrison’s record and his
grand history as a blend of Ameri
can institutions. The cheers were
very hourly and very prolonged
when he finally took his seat.
Mr. C. H. Hanford, chairman of
the Republican Gentral Gomitteo,
then spoke a few words which were
heartily received.
The meetinz was in every way a
great success. Not a hiss, nor a
groan, nor an ungentlemnnly e:;‘_m_
.‘9“ w“ “WT.“ me hall. The en
tnusinsm was maintained to the last
with even increasing zeal, and every
man present felt that Republicanism
had scored a great victory in Port

VERY LARGE YIELD
Over 150 Bmhels of Data» the Acre.
The LaConner Mail is responsible
for the following:
“We chronicle this week two of
the most extraordinary yields of oats
ever known. The first one reported
was a tract of land comprising 12%
acres on the Conner pre~emption, 0
which Wm Wilkie has charge. The
yield on this piece was 156% bushels
per acre. The ground was ormerly
meadow, but has been under cultiva
tion for several seasons. It was
parfly plowed in the fall and partly
in t 9 spring. and thzograin was as
abundant and of as ti qualityron
one ]portion as on 9 other. his
wun d seem to indicate that it makes ‘
little difference whether land is tell
plowed or plowed in the spring. 1
The other remarkable yield was on“
the Sullivan place. A tract of 20 i
acres yielded eleven hundred sacks
As that which has been wei bed has
weighed over one hundreg pounds
per seek it is safe to say that the av~
erage will be one hundred pounds.

The Settler‘s Reverie-
Forth. Asses.
October bro ght the drizzllng raln'
-- _ The settler near the fire ’
Began to muse and muse again,
’Bout patents hanging igher.
He thought of Sparks’s little game,
How settlers all are thieves,
And how they toil and toil in vain
To keep the latter hooves.
New Job, poor Job, that patient man
‘ . (’Tis sad that he is dead.)
‘ Might lindzer near the slothfnl clan
The emocrats have led.
0i statehood slow, but sure, they say;
Of pours? it won’t be long
Belem itls e eétidn day;
’Twill liven up the song.
Once more he mused of long ago.
’Bout Wheeler, Hood, and Bragg,
When 10, heholds! he heard it so,
“Give back that dirty rag."
While musing thus he heard a strain
From out the vahin's shade,
0t fever-ed lips on beds cumin,
0! rumbling esnnona 8.
And turning from the distant past,
he saw a sorry sight—
A city standing at hal -mast,
Two-tens the "uler's mite.
The settler sighed. and lit his pipe,
To take a pleasant puff,
When lo! it came to him in tvpe,
“Une'term is quite enough.”
Then, nodding in his Wooden-chair, 1
Beneath the hark-file’s gleam, ‘
He clmed his eyes in wild despair,
For everything looked mean.
And, dreamed a dream ; a frightful dream,
About wreon’s scrub,
Which look so-gaunt, so lank and lean,
As poor as Glover’s sub—.
And lo! he heard the eagle mm,
Beneath the lion's paw,
And lo! these words they seemed to teem
From out the lion's jaw:
“Go bring me Mills with tarifi‘ bills,
Go ope the coffers wide,
I love to gloat o‘er he that tills;
It is a Briton's pride.”
This language strong, did not last long;
November blew her blast,
And some went out of sound of gong.
For all the votes were cast.
Our Charles stood at the outer door,
A wrinkle on his face,
While Allen stood upon the floor,
And stood in Charles’s place.
And Grover left the mansion White,
To dwell on Erie’s shore, .
“’hile Harrison with laurels bright
Was overhauling lore.
And so the settler’s reverie 132 d,
As thoughts sometimes _ 0 speed,
And lo! the settler sought his bed,
And took no further heed.
