Whether st. John, the la.e prohi-
bition candidate for president, is q
fraud or not we do not care TO dis
cuss, though there is much discussion
and much conflicting testimony in re-
gard 20 the case. Those in Vermont
who switched off from the old party
line OH to this candidate did it in
good faith, believing that the time
had come when temperance should
be made a national issue in politics
They were, so far as our observation
went, sincere in their desire to do
good, and hence we have pever felt
like scoiding them, though the re-
suit was the election of Cleveland
and the complete change IN the all
ministratiOn. ST. John, as we look
at it, is nm adventurcr. but his stand
ing outside Of his own state, where
lie had lost repute, was supposed to
he good, and hence his supporters,
while they saw things different from
the great majority of other people,
were sincere. Now if they will LEI
the matter drop light there. and not
try to make martyrs or saints OF
themselves, it will be we'll. Some oil
these people seem to wish TO tigh
the battle over, and to make it APP
pear that the majority were wrong
and they were right. The majorit,
are not in q suitable frame of mine
TO be convinced that the St. JOIN
movement was wise one and it vii
be useless for the st. Johns to try [,
convince the large mass of temper
ance people That they were in fault i
believing that reform came within
party and not without it. If W
have been able TO measure publ
sentiment rightly, prohibition neye
suffered, in any one political move
the injury that it suffered in the lal
election. We hope that the breac
made in the temperance party ma
be healed, forgetting by-gones, III;
the combined strength of every frier
of temperance may be used to owe
throw the monster evil.

The first annual meeting of Yer
mont Woman's Suffrage Association

NJ E. church Jan. IA and Is, com
mencing on the evening of the 18th.

ability, and Miss Cora Scott Pond of
Boston, young lady of uncommon
gifts, were present during the con-

Congratulations have been preva-
lent in the senate chamber this week
Five senators have been honored
with renominations. These are In
gals of Kansas, Piatt of Connecti-
cut, Cameron of Pennsylvania,
Vance of North Carolina, and Jones

of the chamber have taken special
interest in the election of Mr. Cam

President Arthur, who has been
faultless heretofore in the discharge
of social duties, is just now the sub
iect of some sarcastic remarks in
social circles. 1t is alleged that he
politely accepts half dozen invita-
ton for one evening, with the pro-
viso that he will attend if public bus
mess will permit. OF course no man
can do more than he can do, but it
is the GOODNESS with which the presi-
dent accepts every form of invita-
ton, when there is no possibility of
his filling half of them, that occasions
comment.
The visit of the noted evangelist,
Mr.. Moody, to this city, is an event
of great interest to large part of
the religious community. The de-
mand for tickets to his meetings is
far beyond the supply, and discon-
tent is expressed that tickets are re-
CURED at all. The meetings are not
evangelistic, but are called conven-
ton of christian workers their object
being to inspire church members to
move earnest and intelligent work.
The intention is to give such persons
q chance to attend at least one meet
ing, and tickets are distributed among
the churches on that basis.
| Contributions fall into the Golfers
of the Inauguration finance committee
these days, in sums ranging from
one to one thousand dollars. The
local fund has reached over twelve
thousand already, which is an unpre-
cedentedly large amount at this stage
of preparation. The total expenses
four years ago were about $4,000.
1t is thought $4,000 will be spent
this time, and that the committee
will be able to refund local subscrip.
tons, as was done in part after the
Garfield Inauguration.

THE RECIPROCITY TREATIES

THE RECIPROCITY TREATIES.
While the senate is busily and Sc
cretly discussing the Mexican, Span
lsh, and other treaties, the senior
senator from Vermont, Hon. Justin
S. Morrill,, has boldly attacked them
all in open session. The attack was
so vigorous though coming FROM the
veteran of the senate, that they seem
to be knocked into pi by the onset.
In fact the speech of Senator Morrill,
is just what the country wants to
hear. 1t dissects the treaties in a
mastery manner. 1t shows their
unconstitutionality and their impoli-
cy. It shows, what is very impor-
tant, that we should be badly beat
EN- in the game Of give and take they
prescribe. If the speech can be an
swered, which we somewhat doubt,
the answer should be made in open
senate, not hid under bushel.
Mr.. Morrill, shows that congress,
when it embraced such men as Cal
houn, Crittenden, Davis of Massa-
chusetts, and Berrien, unanimously
declared reciprocity treaties to be I'M
constitutional, on the ground that
the constitution gives to congress the
whole power to regulate commerce.
Even Mr.. z Webster, the ssgreat ex-
FOUNDER" once said that he chopped
he knew the constitution of his coun-
try better than to suppose reciprocity
treaties to be constitutional. Sen
ator Morrill, adds, that not q first
class government in Europe now toll
crates such treaties. He shows, fur
Their, that the Canadian. reciprocity
treaty, from 1856 to 1864, resulted
very disadvantageously to the Uni
ted States. When the treaty begun
| the balance of trade in our favor was
$8,O00,0 900. When it expired, it
was $50, 100000 against us.
In reference to the Mexican treaty,
the speech shows that the entire eX-
ports in 1888, outside of gold and
silver, were $12, 1887. 1t would
only amount to the commerce of one
of our second-class cities. OF hel
nine or ten millions of population,
only one million are Spanish, toe
proud to work, and the remainder
mixed breeds, generally too lazy tc
work. At best, she can afford but 6
poor market for our manufactures
because the people have neither thu
means nor the desire to bay.
Senator Morrill, declares that there
is not single article from the Uni
ted States to be admitted to Mexico
free of duty which will benefit farm
ers, planters, grazers, or owners o.
land, while the United States agrees
to admit everything of value free, in
Guiding barley. beef, fruits, molasses
sugar, tobacco, vegetables and lum
Der. All textile fabrics are excluded
from the treaty, which mainly de
stroys its manufacturers resul
entirely contrary to the claim he'll
out for the treaty by ex-Gov. Smyt
of this State, who seems, with tn
rest of us, to have misapprehende
this feature. The kind of reciproci
ty conferred by the treaty remind
: the senator of an incident in Scott
: novel of "The Pirate where MOI
: daunt and Magnus Troll sat down t
4 drink brandy and water-that is, al
cording to Scott, Magnus drank th
= brandy and Mordant the water. An

WASHINGTON LETTER.
ESPECIAL 30 HREsroNDENoE oFTHE MONITOR
Washington, January 18Th.

Washington, January 18Th.
The weeks progress in congress
embraced questions that were impor-
tant, useless, interesting and dull ex-
citing discussions on old war issues,
dry debates on financial subjects,
and private measures received atten-
ton, as we'll as those of far-reaching
international possibilities. The event
of the week in the senate was the
Davis-Sherman controversy, in which
Jefferson Davis was attacked as q
traitor, and defended as patriot.
The sentiment expressed in regard
to this matter by a number of repub-
lican congressman, was that if "a
quarrel so calculated to arouse Sec
tional feeling had come up during
the recent campaign, it would have
been worth to their party many
thousand votes.
The smoothness with which the
new bill to retire Gen. Grant on full
pay went through the senate, was
surprise to senator Edmunds, the
father of the measure. Tributes
paid to the magnanimity of Gen.
Grant at Appomattox by the demo-
cratic senators Maxey and Voorhees,,
during the consideration of the bill,
were also unexpected. The bill will
not fare so well in the lower house
where it has some earnest opponents.
The general sentiment of that body
has greatly changed, however, since
the latest development in Gen.
Grants misfortune. Should the
measure get through the house, it
would be subject to the veto of the
president on the technical grounds
that the Fitz John Porter relief bill
was vetoed, namely, that the appoin-
tee is not mentioned in the bill. II
has been alleged by republican mem
bers that this congress will not dc
anything for Grant, because the dem
ocrats prefer that president Cleve
land instead of Arthur shall sign 6
bill for his benefit, thus giving g
: democratic administration the credi
: of caring for the veteran.
