Reciprocity and Protection.
The Canadians are a good deal stirred up
by the McKinley bill, and some of their
newspapers are crying lou ily for the annex
• ation of Canada to this country. Some of
| them do not see why they should remain
! loyal to England when it is to tbeir interest
ito become a part of this country. They
j don’t take much stock in Sir John Macdon
ald's statement that if Canada is prevented
; by bostde legislation from trading with
the United States she can trade with other
countries, because they know they cannot
trade with other countries so advantageously
as they can with this. And the dissatisfac
tion with the McKinley bill is not c mfined
to Canada. The people of this country who
are carrying on a large trade with Canada
will also be sufferers by the bill, because
they will not bo able to c >nti me that trade.
It is interesting to note, however, that
while the Republican pa ty insists that the
one thing needful to make all classes of peo
ple in tnis ountry prosperous and happy,
two of the most prominent leaders of that
party, although they say the McKinley
bill is a g x>d one, and just such a one as the
best interests of this country demand, are
outspoken in favor of reciprocity, which is,
in fact, free trade.
Tne whole country is well acquainted
with the letters of Mr. Blaine urging re
ciprocity with countries south of us, and so
strong were the reasons he presented in be
half of it that congress has incorporated a
reciprocity provision in the McKinley bill,
it is probable that within a short time after
the bill lias become a iaw we shall have free
trade with tha West Indies and several of
the Central and South American republics.
And Senator Sherman thinks that reci
procity with Canada would be a good thing.
In a recent letter to Erastus Wiman he
said; ‘‘The provisions of the McKinley bill
no doubt do apply with some severity to
Canada, but the bill is general in its appli
cation to all oountries. It is no doubt a
high protective tariff, and will test the
policy of such a law. It is not especially
aimed at Canada, but is genoral in its terms.
Ido believe that with a little forbearance
and moderation on both sides of the line,
the feeling will become universal here that
special arrangements for reciprocity and
trade should be entered into between the
two countries.”
Yes, the McKinley bill does apply with
severity to Canada, and also to this country,
but, if protection is such a good thing as
the Republican party says it is, why should
not Mr. Blaine and Senator Sherman de
fend it, instead of trying to get rid of it?
While they say that protection is a good
thing—the very best thing this country
could have—they both admit that free trade
is better, because they both favor reci
procity. Senator Sherman, in effect, tolls
the Canadians that the McKinley bill will
cause so much dissatisfaction that in a little
while it will not be difficulty, in all proba
bility, to make arrangements for free
trade, and the inference from what ho says is
that if the Canadians will only have a little
patience the way will be opened for free
trade between them and the people of this
country. And, it is apparent, from Sena
tor Sherman’s letter, that he will be glad
when the way is open.
In view of the position taken by Mr.
Blaine and Senator Shorman, and, in fact,
by the Republican party since reciprocity
has been incorporated in tbe McKinley bill,
it is difficult to see upon what ground the re
publicans can defend the McKinley bill or
the protective principle.
Prohibitionists in Politics.
Prohibition hasn’t quite so strong a hold
upon tbe people of Pennsylvania as it had a
few years ago. The prohibitionists of that
state will not poll anywhere near so large a
vote in the approaching state’election as
they did in the last state eleotion. They
have begun to realize that the way to make
prohibition sucoessfal is not by means of
politics, but by educatiug the people to
accept it.
Tha Pennsylvania prohibitionists nomi
nated a candidate for governor several
weeks ago, and they thought he would be a
very popular candidate. He was an
earnest prohibitionist and promised to con
tribute SIO,OOO toward the expanses of the
campaign. For some unaccountable reason,
however, he declined the nomination a few
days after it was tendered to him. The
prohibitionists are inolined to think that the
Htandard Oil Company told him that if he
knew wbat was best for his own interests he
would not be a candidate for governor. The
impression is, that tho Standard Oil Com
pany wants Quay’s man Delamater elected,
and a prohibition candidate would draw a
good many republican votes away from
him.
But the refusal of their candidate to ac
cept the nomination did not dishearten the
prohibitionists. Their executive oommittee
met aguiu tbe other day and nominated
another candidate—one that will stick. But
be is not a candidate who will draw many
votes, and the prohibitionists will make
such a poor showing in the election that the
majority of their folks will become dis
heartened and give up trying to get control
of the state government It will be a good
thing for prohibition if they do, because if
the prohibitionists will let politics alone and
devote their energies and money to the ad
vancement of the prohibition cause as a
great moral question, they will accomplish
a great deal more good than they have
since they entered the arena of politics.

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1890.
Facilitating Supreme Court Decisions.
Congress has redeemed many of its faults
and deficiencies by the progress it has made
with the bill which creates a court of ap
peals to relieve tbe over-crowded United
States supreme court. Business is now so
many years tebmd in that tribunal as to
‘ entail serious loss and injury upon many
litigants who can ill affoid to await tbe
slow course of routine procedure.
Unless tbe amendments attached by the
Senate judiciary committee fail to receive
concurrence in the House the bill will soon
become a law.
An additional judge to be appointed in
each circuit with the same jurisdiction as
the present judges is provided for in tbe
bill. In each circuit a court of appeals
compo-ed of three judges is to be estab
lished. Most of the cases appealed from
t he district courts are to lie subject to review
only by the court ot appeals. Appeals
from district couris to existing circuit
courts are to be discontinued. Appellate
jurisdiction is to be exercised by the court
of appeals to review the final decisions of
district or circuit courts in all cases
except such as may be appealed
directly to the supreme court.
Unless the court of appeals shall
ask the supreme court for instruction to aid
it in reaching proper conclusions its decis
ion shall be final. Should the counsel of the
supreme court be asked, it may simply give
instruction, or have the whole cause, with
ail the records, sent up to it for considera
tion. Any cause pending liefore the circuit
court of appeals may be certified up to tho
supreme court upon an order from that
tribunal.
In cases where the jurisdiction of the
court is involved appeals may be taken from
the district or existing circuit courts to tbe
supreme court direct. Such appeals are
permissable, for instance, from penal sen
tences and decrees in prize cases or in
criminal ca r es where tho punishment is
death. In cases where the constitutionality
of the court is involved, where the consti
tutionality of any law is in question, or
where the constitution or law of any state
is claimed to be in contravention of the con
stitution of the United States a similar
direct appeal may be taken.
Although a simpler plan would doubtless
prove more effective, any practical organi
zation that serves to relieve the increasing
burdens of the calendar will be most heartily
welcomed by the public. It is a defect that
has long needed a remedy.
Who Made the Tariff Bill?
The conferees on the tariff bill have
agreed, and it is safe to predict that tbeir
report will be adopted. Four senators and
four representatives virtually made the
tariff bill, because they settled the disagree
ments between the House and the Senate.
And the House has its way upon the most
important points of disagreement. The
Senate wanted to tax sugar between No. IS
and No. 16, and the House said no, aud tho
House has its way. This decision will give
the poorer classes a chance to get a goo i
grade of brown sugar cheap, but it is by no
means certain that they will get it much
cheaper than they do at present.
The Senate wanted binding twine put on
tbe free list. Tho House objected and bind
ing twine will have to pay a duty. The
western farmers will kick at this, but they
must not forget that it is their own party
that upholds the binding twine trust.
It would ha*? e been an outrageous dis
crimination against the south, of course,
to have made binding twine free while bag
ging, used as a wrapping for cotton, and
cotton ties were taxed. The south is accus
tomed to unjust discrimination, however,
and would not have wished to deprive the
west of au advantage denied to herself.
It is to be honed that the Republican
party will be satisfied with its work. It is
doubtful, however, if it will. The tariff
bill is going to cause a groat deal of dissatis
faction. The more it causes, however, the
better the situation will be for the Demo
cratic party.
There is no law nor pretext nor precedent
under which the flunkeyish conduct of
Minister Mizner can be excused or palliated.
He had no more right to deliver a refugee
under the protection of the American flag to
his enemies in Guatemala than he had to
murder this man himself. Nor was the
conduct of Capt. Pitts of the Pacific
mail steamer Acapulco one whit
more creditable. That a man
should be delivered up to be butchered by
his enemies on an American vessel while
technically under the protection of our flag
and within a stone's throw of two American
warships is almost iucredible. Some mys
terious underlying motive must have
prompted such ready compliance with so
unlawful a demaud, and as soon as Mr.
Mizner arrives in Washington he should be
called to a striot and searching aoeount.
Neither ho nor the ship’s captain had any
authority to permit armed men to go aboard
that vessel on any account. In ail previous
discussions of this unhappy affair the fact
appears to have been overlooked that two
days before Gen. Burrundia was shot peace
had been declared between Gauteinala and
San Salvador, and tbe Gautemalan govern
ment had virtually pardoned all political
offenders of G autemala. That being the
case there was no excuse whatever for at
tempting to arrest Gen. Barruudio.
An athletic club in Galveston has offered
"Jack” Dempsey and “Bill” Fitzsimmons a
purse of SII,OOO for a “fight to a finish” in
the club’s house. If southern gentlemen
aro to abandon dueling merely to devote
their leisure to prize-fighting the alleged
improvement is scarcely in line with the
advancement of civilization, and not to be
commended. It is not the southern gentle
man, however, who indulges in that very
animated variety of diversion. It is the
overseer grown opulent and idle. He it is
also who vociferously thirsts for gore on the
slightest provocation and renders ridiculous
before the world his erstwhile employer,
whom he closely imitates up to the point
where his own native instincts crop out.
This is the epoch of the overseer. Still the
real gentleman will unobtrusively continue
to pursue the even tenor of his way, and
when the necessity is thrust upon him, de
fend bis rights and his reputation in tho
usual quiet and effective manner. But dis
putes rarely lead to violence between gen
tlemen.

him. The agent in Cincinnati once beat me
out of $5, so I am hardly even."
As he explained the case he pulled out a wad
of bills and counted them, and all of a sudden
he turned pale, jumped to his feet and gasped;
“Great heaven! but I’m left!"
"How?”
"Why, I gave him a twentv intead of a ten

knocked me out for §8! Somebody hold me,
before I break loose and do awful damage!"

“Just watch this crank," said a man in a res
taurant to a New York Tribune man. “He
comes it. nere every day. and goes through a
whole act before he gets up courage enough to
ask for fried onions. He always finishes by or
dering them, but he i ever avows his real pur
pose until he has beaten around the bush for
ten minutes Ths waiters know him well and
humor him."
The lover of onions seated himself, and
looked over the dinner-card with a languid
bored air.
“How are the soft-shelled crabs deviled?" he
asked.
"They are very nice, sir.”
"It’s a little late for crabs, isn’t it?"
"Yes, it's a little late, sir.
“H’ln. Let’s see. How is your canvas
back?”
"That’s very nice, sir.”
"But, come to think of it, I don’t care for any
duck,” and he knitted his brows and carefully
scanned the menu card.
"There doesn't seem to be anything here that
I care for.”
"How-would you like a nice piece of roast
lamb?"
"No, that doesn't strike my fancy."
"A chop?”
"No. Perhaps you would better bring me a
bottle of St. Jullen and a slice of cold roast beet
I have no appetite to-day.”
“Very well, sir,” and the waiter started off
slowly.
“0. Gaspard."
“Yes, sir.”
“I have an idea.”
"Yes, sir.”
“1 might be able to eat a good steak with a
few fried unions.”
“They would be very nice, sir.”
“Ooly a few unions, but have the steak
good”
"Yes, sir.”
"That will be all. You needn’t mind the
claret.”
"Yes, sir.”
But the lover of onions leaned back in his
chair as innocent appearing as a child.
tier Point of View.
On the plaza of a fashionable watering place
hotel there were seated, one evening during the
season just passed, three ladies, who were listen
ing to the music of an orchestra when it played
—using their tongues when it didn't and tneir
eyes at all tunes, says the New York Times
Suddenly one of them gave a start of sup
pressed excitement. K
"Look,” she said alnlost breathlessly, leaning
over to her companions; "there is that Mrs B
from New York, you know.”
What! exclaimed No. 2. "the divorcee?”
“Yes,” was the answer, while No. 3 echoed
with a sigh of satisfaction, "Now- i.ewiii have a
chance to see what she is like.”
Three pairs of eyes focused their gaze upon a
common object—a young woman, blonde and
comely, seated in front and a little to the left of
this optic battery. The music began again
while the ladies stared intently. When the
orchestra stopped, the tongues were ready.
"She s not hopelessly pretty,” began No 1
with a little laugh.
“Too pink and white," said No. 2, who was
sallow and black-haired.
"They ray he is very handsome.” went on the
first speaker, and "O, he is, but dissipated
awfully so, asserted the second.
"Don’t you think,” continued No. 1, “that she
shows her suff ring? Heroyes have a sort'of
wistful look of pain to me."
"Yes, and the lines of her face are sharp ”
replied No. 2. “She cortai ly shows that she is
a woman with a history. The most casual ob
server can see that."
So tbe chorus went on till No. 3 came to tbe
front. "I have been watching tbe way the
corners of her mouth are drawn down," she
said with the air of one about to make’ a re
mark, “and I tell you there are two sides to
that sto.y. although all the sympathy seems to
be with her. No woman has a mouth like that
for nothinand she snapped her lorgnette
shot and thrust it with some decision in her
corsage.
"Why do you think so?” commented No 1
“I’ve been fancying that droop rather pa
thetic."
"Nonsense!" said No. , "that’s not pathos
that’s temper and lots of it. His family ,av
that he con and not live with her. and now that I
have seen her face I believe it.”
At this moment a gentleman approached the
person who, all unconsciously, was the object
of such serious scrutiny and comment, and in
some haste, exclaimed, bowing and offering his
arm:
"Miss L., you, mother is in the parlor, just
home late from her drive. She has sent me for
you.”
Miss L. arose at once, and. with a laughing
remark of compliance, walked away with her
escort.
Among the trio in the seats back the silence
could be felt for a moment, then No. 1 recovered
herself.
“Well." she laughed, "it wasn't M.-s. B after
all, was it?”
Nobody answered her. In particular, the stu
dent. of character, from the curve of the lips
maintained a stolid quiet. By way of aftermath
it may be added that this is a sketch from real
life.

Evidently the days of big nuggets in Aus

Australian goldfield), bringing with them 460
ounces of gold and a big nugget weighing 353
ounces, nine pennyweignts.” "It is described
as "a very massive and handsome nugget."

Here is the witty answer by which a hero,
whom Bismarck was commissioned by tbe
emperor to decorate with the Iron Cross of the
fli st class, discomfited the chancellor s attempt
to chaff him. "I am authorized,” said Bis

of the cross.” "How much is the cross worth?”
asked the soldier. "Three tha ers.” “Very
well, then, hignness. I’ll take the cross and It?
thalers.” Bismarck was so surprised and pleased
by the ready shrewdness of the reply that he
gave the man both the cross and the money.

An "Art Supply” company has been uncov

It seems, bas been to supply collectors with
ancient and rare coins of recent manufacture.
So long as none of these bogus coins go into
general circulation the public can afford to look
upon this peculiar kind of counterfeiting with
some indulgence. Should this "Art Supply”
concern enlarge the field of its use:ulnr-ss so as
to supply the stamp collecting cranks with
home-made foreirn postage stamps, it will
meet a long-felt want, aud may fairly claim
that it has come to stay.

Some interesting features will be seen in the
new signalling station which is to be established
at Tory Island, between Ireland and Scotland,
which is expect to be of tbe greatest service to
Atlantic steamers. A large cable lias been laid
between tbe island auu tne shore, tbe chief use of
which will be to announce tbe passing of vessels
and the transmission of telegrams from them
An ingenious buoy-like waterproof dispatch
case has been devised, which will contain any
number of telegrams. This can be picked up
by the boatmen from the island and' conveyed
to the signal station. The message can then
be telegraphed to any part of the kingdom, an
arrangement which will be of the greatest con
venience not only to travelers, but also to mer
chants and shippers.
A statement having been made that nine
teiepheno girls had gone crazy in New York
city, the superintendent of a Chicago telephone
exchange was interviewed for the purpose of
discovering whether the western girls took
more kindly to their work. He said that what
ever grounds the superintendent might have
for becoming insane, be could not see that the
operators tiad any. He bad never seen any
signs of insanity in the young ladies under his
cuarge; on the contrary, they were bright and
efficient, and that was wny be kept them. Some
of them were '’mad” when the inroduction of
the receiver that is strapped to the head was in
sisted on, as it was anything but ornamental
but that was only momentary. It was how-’
ever, the nearest approach to insanity on record
in the Chicago exchange.
Although William Windom spent several
years, prior to his return to the treasury de
partment, in and around Wall street, says the
New York Star, he never succeeded in attaining
any position of prominence, or even notoriety
in financial affairs. In this respect he presents
a marked contrast to the record usually made
by men who have occupied high positions in
the treasury department, and who, on retiring
from office, decided to go into the bankln *
business, or otherwise cast their lot in the
street. In fact, the financial district is full
of men occupying high positions in the finan
cial world who were formerly government
treasury officials. John J. Knox, who was
controller of the currency, is president of one
national bank, and Mr. H. C. Cannon, who held
the same position, is president of another. Mr
Fairchild, Cleveland’s Secretary of the Treas
ury, is at the head of a trust company, and Mr
Hillhouse. a former treasurer of tbe United
Males, now presides over a similar institution
Ex-Assista t Secretary Coon is a partner ina
big stock brokerage house. In fact, tie experi
ence that a bright man obtains in a responsible
post in the treasury is an almost certain pass
port to position and prosp rity m the street. It
is now remembered that this rule did not work
witn regard to Windom.
