IEditor' Farrei' Opposed to Making
r Two Bites of a Cherry.
1
COMMERCIAL UNION DEAD.
1‘.
llIr. Farrer \Vrites That Annexation Is
' What the People “'ant and That
Reciprocity \Vould Only Delay It.
l Congressman]: Hitt’s Advice.
!
WINDSOR, Ont., Feb. 25.——Sir Charles
Tupper addressed a large public meeting
here, and in the course of his speech he
| read two letters, one of which, he alleged,
l was written to Erastus VViman by Editor
' Farrer, of The Toronto Globe, and the
other to Mr. \Viman by Congressman Hitt.
Farrer’s letter, which is dated April 22,
- 1889, opens by-stating that at present the
1 commercial union movement is at a stand—
still. He gives three reasons for this, one
being that a large number of people are in-
clined to think that “we had better make
two bites of a cherry.”
He goes on: “It seems to me, and I have
talked the thing over lately with maritime
members as well as with Manitobans, that
commercial union would only delay the
coming of the event that those people most
desire.
Hence in the provinces referred to com—
mercial union does not take hold, whereas
annexation will always demand a hearing.
In Ontario the Jesuit campaign has
brought that aspect of things home to
thousands who would not look at com-
mercial union. Then, again, the truth is
that every man who preaches commercial
union would prefer annexation, so that
the Liberal party is virtually wearing a
mask.”
Congressman Hitt’s Letter.
Mr. \Vimau seems to have forwarded
this letter to Mr. Hitt, for the latter’s let—
ter, which is dated April 25, 1889, com—
mences by stating that he has been much
interested in Farrer’s letter. It continues:
“The reasons he gives existed before the
commercial union movement began with
greater force than today. The Republi-
cans as protectionists, it was apprehended,
would be against it. They are Iiot. Their
representatives vote for it; their newspa-
pers have received it kindly and often with
warm" approval. The commercial question
is a business question that concerns each
citizen, and in a way which he does not un-
derstand at first, but sees more and more
clearly the more he talks intelligently
about it.
“There is some logic in what Farrer
says in not making two bites of a cherry.
but for going for annexation at once, but
I think he is misled on that point in a way
that often occurs. \Vhere a man is think-
ing much on a point and discussing it he
is liable to narrow his horizon to those
within his reach, and his own mind, and
perhaps those he meets, having passed on
by discussion to distant results, he takes
it for granted that the wide world, which
is so wonderfully slow, has kept up with
him and has the same results in sight.
“\Ve must be very patient with the slow
moving popular mind. If the Canadian
public can in three years he argued up to
the point of voting commercial union and
giving sanction to the movement in par-
liament it will progress. Slow as such
movements are the comforting thing is
that they never go backward.”
Christian Science Didn’t Save Her.
MIXXEAPOLIS, Minn, Feb. 25,—Mi-s. Nor-
ton, the aged mother of Della \V. Norton,
the Christian scientist, has died of pneu-
monia. Mrs. Norton was taken ill several
days ago. The sick woman’s daughter ap-
plied Christian science treatment. The
patient seemed to improve at first, and
Miss Norton and her fellow Christian
scientists were delighted. Aday or two
ago the patient grew worse, and Dr. Leon—
ard was called in. The disease had secured
too great a hold, however, and Mrs. Norton
died. She formerly lived in Fort Edwards,
N. Y.

THE WORK OF CONGRESS.
The House in a Snot! Over the Approval
of the Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. ~%.—'l‘he senate on
Saturday passed a bill prohibiting book-
making and pool selling in the cities of
Washington and Georgetown, or within
one mile of the boundaries of these cities.
An amendment to extend the provisions
of the bill to the whole district (which
would include the race course) was dis-
agreed to. The sundry civil appropriation
bill was reported and notice given that its
consideration would be asked for on Mon-
day. Senate bill for a. new mint building
at Philadelphia, at a cost Of $2,000,000, was
reported and placed on the calendar. The
Nicaragua canal .bill was then considered
and speeches made by ‘Messrs. Vest, Ed-
munds, Morgan and Gray, but no action
on the bill was taken. The conference re-
port on the navy appropriation bill was
presented and agreed to. The senate then
at 5:13 adjourned until Monday at 11 a. m.
The house got into a snarl over the ap-
proval of the journal, and three hours were
consumed before the‘question was settled.
After the journal had been approved the
senate bill fixing the salaries of United
States district Judges at $5,000 per annum ,
was taken up, and after a‘brief discussion .
passed. Mr. Bingham, of Pennsylvania,
called up the postofl‘ice appropriation. Its
consideration was opposed by the Demo'-
crats for a while, but finally the bill was
taken up in committee of the whole, and'
at 9 p. In. the house adjourned without
disposing of the bill‘.
A Lunatic at Large.
Monmsrowx, Feb. 23.—Henry Saunders,
of Paterson, was taken to the Morris
Plains insane, asylum about eighteen
months ago. Friday, while he was en-
gaged at. some light work on the outside,
he became_refractory for the first time
since he had been there. When he was
cautioned by the guard he became violent,
and fiercely turning upon him, dealt him
a vicious blow on the head with the handle.
of a hoe which he held in his hand, felling
him to the ground in a semi-unconscious
condition. The lunatic then started on a'
rapid run for the woods a short distance
away, which he succeeded in reaching and
disappeared from- view. A party started
in pursuit, but as yet has failed to over-
take him.
It “’us Once His Own Home.
BALTDIORE, Feb. 23,—Thomas Kilpat-
rick, his wife, Mary, and a family of six
children, two of them being infant twins,
were turned out of their home, No. 811
\Vest Franklin street, and the little
rickety furniture they possessed was set
out on the sidewalk. The house once be-
longed to Kilpatrick, but after dissipating
the money he had raised by mortgaging
it he was unable to meet the debt when
due. Police Captain Cadwallader, on hear-
ing of the eviction, investigated the case,
and found that the family have been liv-
ing in two rooms in squalor and poverty.
The children show the results of neglect
and exposure, and it is thought that one
of the twins will die.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Feb. 23.—The schooner
