MISS CANADA.—“THIS IS WHAT WE WANT, COUSIN JONATHAN. IT WILL GIVE US REAL INDEPENDENCE, AND STOP THE FOOLISH TALK ABOUT ANNEXATION.”

This cartoon gives an intimation that the views of Mr. Luther H. Holton on the subject of Canada’s future destiny were not perfectly clear and fixed. In this Mr. Holton was by no means singular among our public men. The insinuation that he was a blind follower of public opinion does him less than justice.

MR. HOLTON.—“DRAT THE CAT! I CAN’T DO ANYTHING TILL I SEE HOW SHE JUMPS!”
