The proposed annexation of Canada to
the United States is being seriously con
sidered. It has, as if in a single day, be
come a great national issue, and bids
fair to become a question for the consid

j sion. Senator Sherman, will introduce
negotiations with the British government
j and get from that country an expression
I of opinion upon the proposed annexation.
In the event the British government
; should receive the proposition with fa
vor, there will follow the appointment
1 of a commission to negotiate a treaty for
that purpose.
! The Postmaster-General’s report pre
: sents concisely the condition and history
of every division and branch. The total
| estimated gross receipts for the year
ended June 30, 1888, were $57,392,576.
I The amount appropriated for the servics
! of this year is $60,860,233, or an excess
i over the amount of revenue estimated oi
$3,467,667, which will be drawn from
1 the general treasury should the total
amount appropriated be needed. The
total estimated gross receipts for the year
ending June 30, 1890, $62,508,758. The
; probable amount of expenditure to be
| made in carrying on the business of the
| postal service for the year ending June
30, 1890, ns shown by estimates sub
mitted to the secretary of tho treasury, is
$65,812,073. Number of postoffices is
57,376, au increase over 1885 of 6,124.
The free delivery service was extended
to 169 additional places, under the act of
January 3, 1887, making a total of 358
free delivery cities. The number of car
lie rs was increased from 5,310 to 6,346
During the year 791 persons, officials
employes of the department and others
were arrested for various offenses against
the postal laws and regulations. The
number includes 9Q postmasters, 26 as
sistant postmasters, 32 postoffice clerks,
12 railway postal clerks, 34 letter car
riers, 15 mail carriers, 9 other employes,
123 burglars of postoffices, and 380

an increase of compensation.
Secretary Eudicott has made his report
to the Pre*'dent of the administration of
the War Department during the fiscal
ended June 30th last The total ex
penditures were $41,165,107, appropria

to $59,679,934, and estimates for the
I fiscal year ending June 30, 1890, aggre
i gate $44,632,507, as follows: Salariesand
contingent expenses, $1,978,890; military

military academy, $25,293,372; public
works, including river and harbor im
provements, $13,785,234; miscellaneous
objects, $3,575,010. The estimtes for
river and harbor improvements represent
the probable cost of such improvements
if approved by Congress. All the stages
and territories now have an active mili
tia, sufficient under the regulations tc
entiile them to receive ordinance and
quartermaster’s stores from the United
States, excepting the state of Arkansas
■ aud the territories of Arizona, Idaho and
Utah It is hoped that very s con prac
-1 tical instruction in sea coast defences,
and the hand.ing of heavy artillery, may
J be given to the militia and officers of
the army may be relied upon to givo
zealous aud cordial assistance. “By a
generous supply of amunition for target
practice to colleges where army officers
are serving as instructors,” the secretary
says, “it is possible that com pet tive
! contests in rifle shooting might, in time,
| become as popular with some of these
| inland colleges as boat racing now is at
the universities of our seaboard.” Land
has been secured as a site for an arsenal
at Columbia, Tenn., and the title is now

THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE.
Mr. Pruden, one of the President’s
secretaries, was announced, and
the Annual Message was delivered,
to the House and immediately 1
read by the clerk. That portion of the
Message in which the President treats of
the tariff question was listened to at
tentively by members on both sides of
the house. Now' aud then a smile, more
of triumph than of derision, would ap
pear upon tho faco of some enthusiastic
Republican, but the silence was not
broken until the clerk read in a clear
voice: “the came for which the battle is
waged is comprised within lines clearly
and distinctively defined. It should
never becompr raised. It is the people’s
cause.” Then the Democrats could no
lounger restrain their feelings and broke
into a round of applause, which was an
swered by the Republicans with derisive
laughter. The President’s reference to
the Sackville-West incident provoked a
laugh from the Republican side of the
House, but no counter demonstration was
made by the Democrats. From this
point interest in the Message slackened.
Mr. Mills, of Texas, was the only mem

the further reading, and the * noise of
conversation was so great that this was

resolution, which was agreed to, refer
ring the Message to the committee of the
whole and providing for its printing.
On the subject of trusts
and “combines,” he said: “As
we view the achievements of aggre
nated capital, wo discover tho existence
of trusts, combinations and monopolies,
while the citizen is struggling far in the
rear or is tramped to death beneath an
iron heel. Corporations, which should
be the carefully restrained oreaturyi of
the law and the servants of the people,
are fast becoming the people’s masters.
Still congratulating ouiselves upon the
wealth and prosperity of our country,
fc id complacently contemplating every
incident of change inseparably from these
conditions, it is our duty as patriotic
citizens to inquire at the present stage of
our progress, how the bond of govern
ment made with the people has been
kept and performed, and instead of lim
iting the tribute drawn from our citizens
to the necessities of its economical ad
ministration, the government persists j
under the same laws by which these re- .
subs are produced, the government per- J
mits many millions more to be added ( to !
the cost of the living of our people and j
to be taken from our consumers, which
unreasonably swells the profits of a small
but powerless minority. Our farmers,
long suffering anapatient struggling in
the face of life with the hard st and
most unremitting toil, will not fail to
see, in spite of misrepresentation and
misleading fallacies, that they are obliged
to accept such prices f« their products
as are fixed in fore g® markets where
they compete with the farmers of the
world; that their lands are declining in
value while their debts increase; and that
without compensating favor they are
forced by the action of the government
to pay, for the benefit of others, such en
hanced prices for the things they need,
that the scanty returns of ilieir labor fai
to furnish their support or leave no mar
gin for accumulation. Coiumuni-m is j
hateful thing, and a menac<
to peace and organized govern
ment. But the communism of com
bined wealth and capital, the out
growth of over weening cupidity and
selfishness which insiduously undermine. 1
the justice and integrity of free institu
tiocs, is not less dangerous than th<
communion of oppressed poverty and
toil which, exasperated by injustice anc
discontent, attacks, with wild disorder,
the citadel of rule.
The department of agriculture has
continued with a good measure of suc
cess, its efforts to develop the processes,
enlarge the results and augment the pro
fits of American husbandry. Its records
of the year show that the season of 1888
has been one of medium production. A
generous supply of the demands of con
sumption has been assured, and a surplu;
for exportation, moderate in ceitain pro
ducts and boun'ilul in others, will prove
a benefaction alike to buyer and grower.
Four years ago it was found that the
great cattle industry of the country was
endangered and those engaged in it wen
alarmed at the rapid extension of the
European plague of pleuro-pneumonia.
Serious outbreaks existed in Jllinos,
Missouri and Kentucky aud in Teums
see. Animals affected were held in
quarantine. Five counties in New York
and from one to four counties in each o
the states of New Jersey, Pennsylvania.
Delawaie and Maryland, were almost
equa'ly affected. V\ ith this gieatdaugei
upon us, ami with the contagion already
in the channels of commerce, with the
enormous direct and indirect losses al
ready being caused by it. and when only
prompt and energetic action could be
successful, there were in none of these
states any law s authorizing this depart
ment to eradicate the malady or giving
the state officials power to co operate
with it for this purpose The depart
ment even lacked both the requisite ap
propriation and authority. By seeking
state co-operation in connection with the
authority fiom Congress, the work ol
eradicdion has been pressed successlully,
and this dreaded disease has been extir
pited from the Western st a es, and als
from the E is.ern states, width are still
under supervisi >n. The danger has thus
been r m >ved and trade and commerce
have been freed from the vexatious stati
of restrictions which were deemed nec
essary for a lime.
During the past four years the proces
of diffusion, ns applied t • the manufuc
ture of sugar from s rghiim and eugu
cane has b en introduced into this com
try and fully perfected by the expeii
ments carried on by the department of
agriculture. This process is now uni
versally considered to be the most eco
nomical one, and it is through it that the
sorghum sugar industry has been estab
lished upon a firm basis, and the road to
its future success opened. The adoption
of this diffusion process is also extending
in Louisiana and other sugar producing
parts of the country, and will doubtless
soon be the only method employed for
the extraction of sugar from the cane.
Many other matters were touched upon
by the President, the document occupy
ing a space of nine columns in the daily
papers.
DISINFECTING.
As an indication of the thorough man
ner in which disinfection will Re pur
sued, Dr. Porter addressed the following
uotice to physicians in charge at
Jacksonville, Florida: “Instruct the
foreman and operatives of each squad,
that thev Drovide thomcnlxroo wrjth WAr Jr
ing suits of clothes, to be, worn only
when performing disinfecting, and to be
changed on going home to meals and at
night, and leave at the office on Pine
street. The object I wish to attain is
that the clothing which will come in
contact with disinfected ones shall not
come in contact, with persons not having
had tho fever or uninfected articles.
When the general process of disinfection
is through with, the operatives of the
department must have their clothing
thoroughly disinfected by the super
heated steam process before returning
them to their homes.” The work of dis
infecting begins at once. The disinfect
ing rooms arc tight compartments, ten
by twelve by six and one-half in dimen
sion, and closed by trap doors, which
are raised on hinges by means of pulleys.
There is one steaming room aud two
drying rooms. The floors of the rooms
are covered with steam pipes, those in
the steam room being perforated every
six inches to all<>w r toe escape of fine
jets of steam. For blankets and 6uch
other ar iclcs of clothing as can be ;
saved, three large cylindrical vats have j
been prepared, where they will be thor- i
ouglily purified with boiling water, after
which they will be wrung in a steam
wringer which revolves with great ra
pidity. forcing the water out.
HARRISON’S VISITORS.
Gen. James Longstreet, of Georgia,
accompanied by his friend, Hon. E. A.
Aogier and Alton Angier, of Atlanta,
called on Gen. Ha rison at Indianapolis,
lad. His visit is declared to be purely g
social one and at the invitation of hi*
o d fi%nd. Dr. Wilson, a neighboi
of the President-elect, formerly the
commander of O. M. Mitchell Post G.
A. R., of Atlanta. On Sunday night,
GeneraL Harrison presided at the fifty
third <%iuiversary of the Indianapolis
benevolent society. The audience num
bered nearly 3,000. Gen. Harrison
opened the exercises proper of the even
ing with a few remark*. He recalled
many meetings of tho benevolent society
in contrast with this. It was formerly
ihe habit to hold these anniversary
meetings on evenings of Thanksgiving
Day. Many of them, in earlier years of
his recollection, were but sparsely at
tended. Perhaps this was the result of
lethargy of oveifeeding on Thanksgiv
ing Day, for, notwith>tanding the sparse
ate idance which sometimes rewarded
tho invitation of society to its anniver
sary, there has always been, he believed,
a very widespread aud de ;p interest in
the work of benevolence.
THE PRESIDENT’B ESCAPE.
The trill of John Hronek, charged
with conspiiing to blow up the homes ol
Judges Gary and Grinned aud Police
Inspector Bouficld with dynamite,
was continued in Chicago, 111. A
German named Schneider told where
Grinned live 1 and showed a plat of Al
dine squaie, and on July 4th Hionek,
Chapek and the witness went in search
for the house. They finally found the
house and took a good look at it. On
the way home, Hronek sai I that Prc s'dent
C eveland had a narrow escape when on
his visit there. At that time he (Hronek)
had a bomb realty to throw at the pre-d
--deutial carriage, but was dissuaded by
Schneider and Nikolaud.
