Secretary Fish, it is expected, will submit
to the Cabinet to- day the leading features of
the proposed reciprocity treaty with Canada.
Among the propositions that were made to
the Secretary of State by the Representative
of Canada and which were rejected, were
the following: A reciprocity of patents, that
is to make patent issued under the laws of
either country binding in the other; second,
by reciprocity of privileges for vessels en-
gagged in the coastng trade and of registra-
ton Of vessels, that is, that the vessels I
either country should have the same rights
and privileges in the ports of the other that
domestic shipping have, and that registration
in either country should be recognized in the
other as having the same effect as though it
occurred there. The first of these PROPOSE.
tons, that relating to patents, was at once
rejected. The others were considered, bu,
they too have been rejected on the ground
that to put them into the treaty would proba-
bly, give rise to discussions that might en-
danger the whole.

BOWDOIN COLLEGE,.

To The Editor Of the Journal:
like the tone of Martins letter. He is
one of the most hopeful subjects for CONVEX
sion to the doctrine Of peace l have bad tilt
with in a long time.
Yes, Martin, ga man would be an arrant
coward to stand by and see his mother injured
without striking Blow" but the point aimed
at in what | have written is to so arrange
matters that the estimable lady in question
shall not be injured. We don't propose to
let things come to that.
Martin would prevent injury in the case OF
an orchard by keeping bull dog, and in the
case of a nation by maintaining well-discl-
plined army and securing all the appliances
of war. As regards the orchard l would say
that have always found that if Tom and Dick
are afraid of the bull dog, Harry isn't, or, to
put it in another way,-pile on all the defence
you can, somebody is soon found who dares TO
club your trees. Martin is weli-read man,
and what is more, knows how to write a let
ter; but he has fergotton one all important
lesson of history-that no nations are so con-
stantly engaged in war as those who are well
prepared. Prepare as you will, somebody
else prepares better, and TO this struggle
for the best "war footing" involving fright
full expenditure, there is positively no end.
Every nation in Europe is grooming beneath
the fearful burden of the necessary taxation.
The way out, is now the problem. 1t is to
be solved by arbitration on all points of dill
ference which arise among men. This solu-
ton is to be reached so far this side OF the
millennium that Martin will see it unless his
taking off be premature. AS regards my sus-
tanning the students in their act of rebellion,
if that be implied in what wrote, allow me
to say that after a careful investigation of the
facts, | do not now sustain them, When they
entered they knew the regulations and, not
withstandiDg, agreed to abide by them. In
strict justice, therefore, there is no escape
for them; but the assertion then made by i'm
plication and do now make straight and clear
ly is, that those who instituted that drill VIC
lated their trust as educators, because the
system which requires such a practice, is
founded on error. The only safe thing to
teach is truth. The wonder is that they
should not have seen this. AS educators it is
their place to keep in the van of the thought
of the age on this, as well as every other
moral question-not so near the rear as at
present. Il. NJ. J.

casionally to nice apparition of large and
muscular and hatless man, running about in
his drawers with six-shooter strapped about
his body. One of the eccentricities of this
| cheerful parsonage is to aim his pistol at those
who pursue him. The investigation of this
singular case has, therefore, been limited and
unsatisfactory.
1t is expected that all the old frequenters of
Mount Desert will return, this season, and
that many new guests will come. Among
those expected for the first time is DR..
Charles Willing of Philadelphia, trustee OF
the famous Bingham estate, which has a large
amount of lands near Bar Harbor. 1t is said
that Lady Ashburton of London, who now
owns the larger share of the Bingham
estate, will visit this country in the Summer,
and, of course, Bar Iarbor.
Ismaiia, the city founded in 1869, upon the

about 1000 souls, fled the place. Even the
palace, built by the Viceroy to entertain his
royal guests, Is becoming dilapidated, and the

THE UTAH JUDICIARY BILL.

This bill is one of great importance to the
people of Utah. Its passage by the House
Tuesday has been chronicled. 1t is known
az the Poland bill and was passed by vote OF
100 yeas to % nays. The design of the bill
is to exclude Mormons from the iuries and
operate as a check upon polgyamy.
Judge Poland, who had charge of the bill.
explained it briefly. He claimed to have
gathered his knowledge of!Mormon institutions
and of the defects in the Mormon
judicial procedure, while on a professional
visit to Utah. He believed that the Mormons
were now as radically hostile to the general
Government as was any Southern State in the
very heat of the rebellion, and he knew that
the provisions OF the bill were quite too leni-
ent. Clarkson N. Potter thought it would be
as well for Congress to drive the Mormons
out of their Territory as to pass this bill. He
considered it unjust to prohibit believers in
pogymany from sitting on juries in cases
where the question of polygamy is not in
volved, and he thought this bill must either
prove imperative or result in banshng the
Mormons from the Territory. Mr.. Cannon
himself occupied three quarters OF an hour in
the defense of his people and their institutions
and made very earnest, eloquent speech.
lie DelleVeu tnat the RECORDS OF the courts
would show that justice was fairly admins
tered by the Mormon Probate Courts, and
verdcts rendered in favor of Mormons and
nom Mormons with like justice. He denied
that the non-Mormons, as a class, who were
not office holders, asked for passage on the
BILL which he characterized as an attempt to
rob the people under the guise of law, and
rising above the technical discussion on the
bill he made the solemn declaration with the
apparent enthusiasm Of one who believed in
his faith that Mormonism could not be over
come by the bayonet, and that the faith of the
Mormon Church could be no more destroyed
by repression than the belief of the Hugenots
or the Puri'ans had been by years of tyranny
and oppression. The galleries were very
full and attentive, and observed with great
interest the curious spectacle of a Mormon
apostle pleading his cause before an Ameri.
can Congress. Mr.. Ward, of Illinois, made a
very enthusiastic speech in support of the bill,
and attacked the entire Mormon system with
great force He disclaimed any Intention to
injure the Mormons or persecute them on ac-
count of their faith, but he believed that the
Mormons should accept the verdict of the civ
ilized world, and conform their practices to
modern customs.

The House Committee on Foreign Relations
has introduced bill to abrogate the presen,
t'eaty with Belgium as regards tonnage dues on
vessels. The treaty provides that steam YES
sells between the two nations shall be exempt
from all tonnage dues, but as this country sends
no steam vessels to Belgium the treaty is very
unequal, and the Committee on Foreign Re.
lations have thought that 1t should be abroga-
ted. The committee intend to report joint
resolution recommending that all cases of in
ternational disputes shall be settled by arbi-
tration instead of war.
