Kind In Canada.

Cincinnati Enqulr7r.
1t is uncolnmonly amiable IN Grea:
Britain to send a special envoy all the
way from Ottawa to Washington with an
offer to returnlout Sitting Bull to us
With the exception of a few extradl-
tlons it is the nearest approach we have
made to accomplishing Canadian annex
alton, Perhaps it is intended as a gener-
ous atonement for seducsng away from
us that ship load of skilled workmen the
other day. If o. P. Morton had gone
over the line while hot in the pursuit OF
testimony against Grover, in Oregon,
no doubt Canada would have been as
willing to go to the expense of sending
him back also. Generous people!

The Savannah News of the 18th says:
" The prospects for the coming season are
better than last year, and all are looking
forward to'a large fall trade" The News
also notes as an encouraging symptom
the increased production of grain, fruit
and hogs.
The Charleston Courier says: "With
the certainty of good crops of provisions
in this section, as well as the promising
appearance OF the growing staples, there
is more hopeful feeling for the future,
and an improved and healthy fall..trade is
expected"
Says the Philadelphia Ledger 131h'
"The wholesale fall trade will begin in
very few days, and our leading merchants
and jobbers are looking forward to very
large business, particularly with the
Soth and West. Excellent reports are
received from every quarter in regard to
the crops, and good crops mean full pock-
cts, bank accounts and business. The
outlook is rather encouraging.

Ex-senator Cameron Interviewed

A correspondent of the New York
Snn has Interviewed ex-senator Simon
Cameron at Harrisburg, Pa The vener-
able ex-senator says the Pennsylvania
republicans c0ncede Ohio to the demo-
Gratis, He thinks it was injurious to in
dorse President Hayes in the Cleveland
platform, and hardly thinks the Pennsyl-
vania convention will repeat the expert
ment He says the republicans of. his
State are displeased with President
Hayes "because Pennsylvania split q
large share of blood and sacrificed much
treasure to put down the rebellion, and
her people are not prepared to see the
fruits Of the victory they won on the field
of battle and at the ballot.box turned
over to the men who attempted to de-
stroy the government" He expressed
disgust at the civil service theories of the
President. In regard to the business, of
the country Mr. Cameron says times
have not looked so gloomy since 1920
and it is probable some more of the rail
roads will have to go into bankruptcy,
He said he was In favor Of resumption,
but not in favor of setting day to re"
sumo just now; he did not think the re-
publican party of the State would agree
with him on that question. He thought
that the democrats would have very
good show Of carrying Pennsylvania If
they carried Ohio, -....-r.. --

SIMPLE FACTS.

The Department Of State is run on a

more money than the indemnity, for
greasing the wheels at Washington, the
old simple ways were rejected, which had
always made that department am0del of
dignity and which had sntficed for allsthe
strain of the, rebellion. With a +, single
Assistant Secretary, and that Office not
created until the war was we'll advanced,
and without any additional the cletieap
force. ,Mr. Seward had conducted il the
immense correspondence and neg citations
which resulted from the interesting strife.
~ When peace came, and the actuaT
business was reduced to a, fractional mart
of what had previously existed, Mr..
Seward found no reason for reorgahiZing
a department which had met al shereLo
quirements of an abnormal condltion,,
y of SO with Don Hamilton Fish. He
must have more grandeur They uhAd
learned how'll Foreign office ia ,DONnsg
ing street was got up, and they. set to
work on that pattern. AZ Republican
Congress was always ready to createihs%e
ofhces and to vote all necessary, approT
priations. So three Assistant Secretaries
were granted and five CHI lefs Of bureaus
to supervise the subordi mates, with large
salaries to keep up their magpificence,
