Minister Romero and General Grant
Before the Foreign Relations Com
plitfPR


Before the Foreign Relations Com
nlittee.
WASHINGToE, January 1.-THE Senate
Foreign Relations Committee listened to
explanations from General Grant aud Min
mister Romero, as TO the terms Of the
terms of the new commercial reciprocity
tresty between the United States and Mex
ico, which is informally before the COM
mittee. Senior Romero, who spoke first,
expressed in good English the desire of
his country to increase its commerce
with the United States, as one means
Of knitting the two Republics closer
together. He referred to the determina-
ton OF his government to endeayOr TO ne
gotiate such 4 treaty with the United States
as was now under consideration, and to the
subsequent steps taken to bring about
conference between the representatives of
the two countries. He referred to the fact
that the conferences had been very spleas-
ant, because of the warm personal rela-
tons existing between himself and General
Grant lie explained the theory upon
which his country desired to conclude

Commercial Reciprocity

ports and imports TO and from the United
States, while fostering her agricultural and
industrial interests. In this connection il
IS understood that he referred in terms OF
high Comnendation to the international
railway now building. He then explained
In detail the concessions OF Mexico and her
view OF the concessions of the United States.
General Grant followed, going over the
same ground traversed by Romero. Gen.
Grant did mis- best TO place the con-
ceSSions in favorable light before
the committee. He is anxious to
have the committee pass upon the draft at
once. He has never formally accepted his
commission as a treaty commissioner and
Will is stated, decline to do so il he
hnds that the Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations do not approve the draft of the
new treaty. II they do approve it he will
go on through the formal completion of the
treaty until it is ready to 90 to the Senate
Tor ratification. 1t was stated to the

The Story of the Book Agent.

A Philadelphia book agent impor-
tuned James Watson, rich and close
New York man living out at Elizabeth,
until he bought a book-the "Early
Christian Martyrs" Mr.. Watson didn't
want the book, but he bought it to get
rid Of the agent; then taking it under
his arm he started for the train which
takes him to his New York office.
Mr.. Watson hadn't been gone long
before Mrs. Watson came home from a
neighbor's. The book agent saw her
and went in and persuaded the wife to
buy another copy of the same book.
She was ignorant of the fact that her
husband had brought the same book in
the morning. When Mr.. Watson came
back from New York at night Mrs.
Watson showed him the book.
81 don't want to see it," said Watson,
frowning terribly.
"Why, husbands" asked his wife.
because that rascally book agent sold
me the same book this morning. Now
we've got two copies of the same book,
two copies of the 'Early Christian Mar
tyrs,' and"
"But, husband, we can"
mo, we can't teitherw interrupted Mr..
Watson. "The man is off on the train
before this. Confond it! 1 could kill
the fellow. /"
"Why, there he goes to the depot
now," said Mrs. Watson, pointing out
of the window at the retreating form
of the book agent making for the train.
"But it's too late to catch him, and
Pm not dressed. I've taken off my
boots, and-u
Just then Mr.. Stevens, a neighbor of
Mr.. Watson, drove by, when Watson
pounded on the window-pane in fran
tic manner, almost frightening the
horse.
"Here, Stevens" he shouted, "you're
hitched up; won't you run your horse
down to the train and hold that book
agent till come? Run! Catch I'm now!"
"All right" said Mr.. Stevens, whip
ping up his horse and tearing down the
road.
Mr.. Stevens reached the train just as
the conductor shouted 'all aboardW
''Book agent" he yelled, as the book
agent stepped on to the train. "Book
agent! hold on! Mr.. Watson wants to
see YOU"
"Watson! Watson wants to see me?"
repeated the seemingly puzzled book
agent. "Oh, know what he wants! he
wants to buy one of my books; but 1
can't miss the train to sell it to him."
"If that is all he wants, 1 can pay for
it and take it back to him. How much
is it?"
1.-TWO dollars for the Early Christian
Martyrs said the book agent, as he
reached for the money and passed the
book out through the car window.
Just then Mr.. Watson arrived, puff
ing and blowing, in his shirt sleeves.
AS he saw the train pull out he was too
full for utterance.
"Well, got it for you," said Stevens;
'just got it and that's ALL"
"Got what?" yelled Watson.
"Why, l got the book-'Early Chris
tian Martyrs and"
"By-the--great--guns!" moaned
Watson, as he placed his hand to his
brow and swooned right in the middle
of the street.

The Republicans have such fear of
Mr.. Tilden that they habitually attrib-
ute to him three-fourths of the political
events that occur in the country. Ac-
cording to them he is always engaged
in nominating candidates that suit him,
and defeating those that do not. They
see his hand in every political pie. He
is always present to their guilty con-
sciences. The last thing he has done, it
seems, was to work for the defeat of
Ben Butler in Massachusetts,. This is a
pretty old lie. Itappeared as piece OF
news in the Boston Journal some time
ago, and piece of news is most always
venerable before the Journal gets hold
of it.-N. Y Sun.

The prince of sailor-preacher, Father
Taylor, was once silenced by compli-
ment to his eloquence. He had de-
pfcted the impenitent sinner under the
figure of a storm-tossed ship, with her
sails split, and driven by the gale to-
ward the rock-bound coast of Cape
Ann.
10, how" he exclaimed, in tones of
despair, "shall this sin-tossed sinner be
saved?''
Instantly an old salt in the gallery,
who had listened with open mouth and
straining eyes to- the preacher, jumped
to his feet, and in voice that would
have sounded above hurricane,
shouted:
"Let him put his helm hard down,
and bear away for Squam."

Mr.. ROBERT GRIFFIN, President of
the London Statistical Society, enter
tains great fears for the future of
Europe. According to his statistical
figuring, he puts it thus: From a pop
ulation in the United States of 5000, 900
in 1850, it reached in 1880 a population
of 50,OOO,00O. Figuring from the same
basis, he calculates that in 1880 our pop
ulation will have reached the enormous
sum of S0O,OOO,0O0. Should his calcula-
tions prove correct, or even Approximate
thereto, his fears are that Europeans
will die of starvation by the million.
American food supply then will be no
more than adequate for the home con-
sumption. About one-fourth of the
population of Europe now depend for
supplies on newly opened regions.
Twelve millions Of the population of
Great Britain now are dependant on
imported food

THE SUN.
NEW YORK. 1888.

MORE people have read THE Sun dur
VNl ing The year just now passing than
ever before since it was first printed. No
other newspaper published ON this side OF
the earth has been bought and read in any
year by so many men and women.
We are creuibly informed that people
buy, read and like The sun for the follow
ing reasons, among others:
Because Its news columns present in at
tractive form and with the greatest posi-
BILE accuracy whatever has interest for
humankind; the events, the deeds and
msdeeds, the wisdom, the philosophy, the
notable folly, the solid sense, the improv-
ing nonsense-all the news OF the busiest
world at present revolving IN space.
Because people have learned that in its
remarks concering persons and affairs The
sun makes a practice oil telling them the
exact truth to the best Of its ability three
hundred and sxly-tive days in the year,
before election as well as after, about the
whales as well as the small fish, in the lace
of dissent as PLAINLY and learlessly as when
supported by general approval. The DUN
has absolutely no purposes to serve, save
the information of its readers and the fur
therance of the common good.
No man is SO humble that The SUN Is IN
different to his welfare and his rights. No
man is 80 rich that 1t can allow injustice
to be done HIM. No man, no ASSOCIATION
of men, is powerful enough to be exempt
from the strict application OF its principles
OF right and wrong.
Because in politics it has fought for a
dozen years, without intermlssion and
sometimes almost alone among newspa-
pers, the fight that has resulted in the re-
cent Overwhelming popular verdict against
Robesonism anu tor honest government.
No matter what party is IN power, The
SUN stands and will continue to stand like
o rock for the interests of the people
against the ambition OF bosses, the en-
croachmenls oi monopolists, and the dis
honest schemes OF public robbers.
All this IS what we are told almost daily
by our friends. One man holds that The
Sun is the best religious newspaper even
published, BECAUSE It's Christianity is un-
diluted with cant. Another holds that il
is The best Republican newspaper printed,
because it has already whipped hall OF tne
rascals out Of chat party, and is proceed
ing against the other half with undimln-
ished vlgor. A third believes 1t to be tie
best magazine of general literature in eX-
lstence, because its leaders miss nothing
worthy of notice that is current in the
world of thought So every friend OF The
SUN discovers one of its many sides that
appeals with particular force to his indi-
vldual liking.
If you already know THE SUN YOU will
observe that IN 1888 it is little better
than ever before. Ii you do not already
know The SUN, you will find it TO be
mirror OF all human activity, II storehouse
of the choicest products OF common sense
and imagination, II mainstay tor the cause
of honest government, IL sentinel for gem
uine Jetfersonlan Democracy, scourgc
uucommonly good investment fort the COM
