Bribery in Elections Prompts Journal Debate and Canadian Annexation Note
An 1889 Nanaimo Courier piece surveys bribery in elections, contrasting views on honest voting with the idea of cash inducement. It cites Beecher and Breckinridge opinions, discusses tariff politics, and recalls a Maine 1860 petition seeking annexation to Canada amid discontent and provincial prosperity contrasts.

Ottawa river gas lifts ice with loud crash on frozen stream
Editorial notes discuss a gas formed from organic deposits in the Ottawa river that can lift ice when the river is frozen. A party of youths heard a loud crash and saw someone hurled onto a mass of ice. The gas glows in warm southern climates and is recognized as a dangerous air pollutant. Mention of Pat Butterworth and Mr Mills relates to annexation debates in Congress and the Commons.
