umn OF Cuban tariff in exchange for the repeal
OF the 10 per cent advaloTem duty on Spanish
West Indian imports. Senior Moret and
Minister Currie, when they fixed delay and
virtually agreed that If the treaty were not
NEGOTIATED before January 1, 1eS7, a deferen-
tal treatment of imports would be renewed
on both sides, had grave reasons for so doing.
The pressure brought to bear on the Madrid
government by public opinion in the colonies,
and by their representatives of every shade
in the cortes, and the well known free trade
incinations of Senor Moret, are very nearly
balanced by the protection influences of the
shipping and manufacturing interests repre-
sented in the cabinet by the colonial secre-
tary of state, Senor Balabuer. Senior Morct,
directly he returned from few days holiday
in the north of Spain, wrote to Minister
Currie that he was ready to begin ncgotia
ton. Though both Moret aud Currle show
great reserve, it Is considered almost GER
tain that they will negotiate convention
similar to that of General Foster in 1854.
Tie only stumbling block and great difficulty
will again be the exclusion of other countries
from the concessions which Spain may make
to the United States in Cuba and Porto Rico.

party to the other which creates special re-
ciprocal advantages that nations which have
the most favored nations clause in their con
ventions cannot claim unless they first grant
Spain special advantages equivalent to those
that America would give by this reciprocity
treaty. IL is no secret that at the time of the
Forest -Eduayin treaty the French and Ger
man governments protested against these
views of American diplomacy and more re-
Gently British Minister Sir Clare-Ford has
told Senor Moret that he held England to be
entitled to whatever advantages any treaty
may grant the United States in the Spanish
West Indies. The pretentions of the Euro
pean government first revealed themselves
when American imports were granted the
third column of West Indian tariff by the
convention of 1884, and recently the British,
German, French and Belgian ministers have
informed Senor Moret they must also insist
on getting the third column. The Madrid
government is about TO comply with this re-
quest

be-Special to the BEE. NEGOTIATIONS for a
commercial treaty between Spain aud the
United States now stand as follows: There
is a substantial difference between the terms
of agreement signed at Washington by the
secretary of state for foreign affairs and the
Spanish minister, Muruaga, and the original
conditions agreed TO by Minister Currle and
SenOr Moret in Madrid. The latter had stip-
ulated that the old convention of 1854 shonld
remain in force until January |, lSS1, and
that the new treaty should be negotiated be-
fore that date, whereas it seems that the state

ject of fish culture, and the construction of
fish ponds, and fish to supply them, and be-
ing DESTROYS of taking as much exercise for
my health, in the open air, the coming sea-
son, as l can spare from my business, and
feeling deep interest in the subject, and
knowing how numerousthe places are where
beautiful ponds and little lakelets can be
made, all through the counties in the South
east, 1 will personally visit any locality in
Iron, Reynolds, Madison, Washington, JEFF
ferson and st. Francois, and examine, and
advise any person as to the location and con-
struction of ponds, and identifying their
grounds, at such times as I may be able to
get away from business. The boys are espec-
tally interested in this matter. And to this
end invite all who have any suitable loca-
ton, in the counties above named-they be-
ing most convenient to me-to write me,
stating the section, township and range, and
L shall make my plans to visit and examine
sometime during the season. At any rate,
it will cost parties only card or postage

their homes, as well as profitable improve
ments. J. W. EMERSON.

| Again the grim specter, death, has given

! which is best, most useful and beautiful.
relentless hand aud seized one of its bright
| est and most valuable members and borne
| him away in triumph. Mr.. ROBERT NEW
ALL was respected by all who knew him. He
was truly model man, and society meets
with great loss by his untimely death.
Ever just and liberal in his dealings with his
fellowman. Strictly moral and temperate in
his associations and habits. Industrious and
thrifty in business. And the fact that he was
a respected member of the great Masonic
paternity, is alone sufficient proof of his ex-
cellence. His family also sustains an ire
parable loss. He was a loving and tender
husband and father, who ever considered it
his first duty to provide for the comfort and
welfare of those whom Providence had en-
trusted to his care. The Company that en-
ployed him as their superintendent, will
feellhis loss; for as mechanic he could not
be eXcelled. His executive ability was rare
ly equaled, while his untiring energy and in
domitable will surmounted all obstacles.
The many workmen under This supervision
will long mourn him, as he was ever the pro-
tector of. their rights and interests, and fav-
ored them as much as was consistent with
his duty to. his employers. The fact that he
was appreciated by all classes, was attested
by the vast concourse which assembled to
pay the last sad tributes of respect to his
and perform the last sad rites, con-
sisting, as it did, of all classes, both work
men and employers, friends, relatives, and
strangers. By mutual consent,
the quarries closed down from the time of
his decease, which occurred at II NJ. the 18th
inst, until the funeral obsequies should have
taken place. Which were observed with
proper care and ceremony under the auspi- |
ces of the Society of A. F. 6 A. NJ, at the |
hour of 2 P. NJ. the 18th, at the cemetery at |
,Iiddlebrook.
Although tits sad to see a useful member |
II society cut off in the prime of life and |
strength, yet when the Great Superintendent |
lid Architect OF. the Universe deems it as his |
pleasure to call, then it is fitting that we
hould bow our heads and hearts in meek
md humble Difference to His behests, and
Jay all due respect to His all ling will
which Is ever exercised for the best. That
Providence may Eprotect the bereaved ones
whom he has left behind, and that He, who
watches over the sparrow lest it fall to the
round, watch over and cherish them with
lis boundless love, is the wish and prayer of
lis many friends, admirers, and the commu-
ity at large. May his soul find rest after his
rduous labors here on earth.

er prophet or an almanac, but would say to
those having any out door work to do, they

After thirteen days. searching, more or less,
the body of Dr. Franklin was found Sunday
morning, February 9TH. Mr.. Ellis and Mr..
j. G. Smith, the latter of Caledonia, STARTED
out in search of the body, and about 10
O'Clock they came suddenly upon the ghast-
ly remains Of the unfortunate doctor about
a half miles distance from Mr.. Ellis house,
part of his face and 4 small portion of the
lapel of his overcoat being visible. They
brushed enough of the snow off to reveal a
terrible wound in his chest, and then looked
around for the cause whereby he had met
his death. He was lying on his back within
a few feet of the fence. On the opposite side
of the fence lay his gun. Upon examining
the gun, one barrel was found to be empty.
After the coroner's inquest, the verdict was
that he game to his death by an accidental
shot from his own gun.
Notwithstanding Belgrade is on the boom,
it is sadly in need of sidewalks this muddy
weather. None anon. SMART ALEX.

Mr.. Bancroft appeals to the United
States supreme court to review its de
cision of 1888 on the legal tender aues
ton, and reverse it. He shows by q
mastery array of historical authorities
that the trainers of the constitution, in
fashioniDg the clause which gives to
congress authority TO "borrow money
on the credit of the United State 81
struck out by vote of more than four
to one the additional words "and time
hilis"-showing that they intended to
withhold the power to issue paper
money from the federal government {.
in view of this, Mr.. Bancroft regards
the decision in favor of the right Of con-
gress to make treasury notes green
backs legal tender for private debts,
if it should be accepted as law, as a
"death-blow to the constitution" and
he therefore asks the court to reverse
the dangerous judgment. Have these
eminent Republicans no vestige of re-
spect left for the supreme court as they
made it? Do they think its chief func.
ton is to go through perpetual grim
ace of uttering decisions one year and
eating them the next? This legal ten
der question has already been decided
three tlmes-once against the right of
Congress-, and twice in favor of the
right-and now the pundits of the party
want still fourth against the right,
How much moral authority will there
be left in that once august tribunal
when it becomes settled that the party
in power can squeeze out of it any de-
cision it may happen to need?-Repu5-

Old Times.

| Ed. Register.-Whatw would the boys and
| girls think and do if, on waking up some
| morning, they found that time had rolled
| back fifty or sixty years? Would they know
| how to start a fire without matches, cook
| with the old fashioned pots and kettles? /
think they would prefer to live in the pres
ent age.
/ can remember when all the cooking was
done before the open Fireplace. There was
liz eFery house great brick oven built in
the chimney, beside the fire -plaoe. satur-
day was the baking day in every well regu-
lated family; then the bread, pies, ETC., were
made and baked for the coming week. Each
family knew Just how much would be re-
quired to last till the next Saturday. Moth
er used to bake seven large loaves of bread,
about twelve pies, each, of apple and pump
kin, and two or three large loayes of ginger
bread; and last, but by no means least, a
bake-oven of pork and beans, for Sunday
dinner as the turkey for Thanksgiving or
Christmas dinners now.
1t was but little trouble to get meal; hot
biscuit were not often used. 1t did not take
long to fry some meat or sausage, or cook
some fish and potatoes, and set the table
with the bread nicely sliced. A good appe-
tizer is the combination formed by neatly
laid cloth, clean dishes carefully arranged,
and well-eooked food, though there be no
great variety. Coffee was seldom used, even
by the "aristocracy;" cider was the drink
for all hours of the day. If a neighbor came
in, pitcher of cider was drawn, glass fill
ed and handed him.
If there were not dozen or twenty bar
rels Of cider in the cellar, no matter how
many potatoes, apples, vegetables of all
kinds, and picked beef and pork they had,

A church Is a house of God, or is COM
monty believed so to be; and those who go
10 meeting thereat go to worship their God,
or the majority do so. And being there for
that purpose they have right to do so, un-
disturbed aud unmolested; and those who
disturb them without cause, and wilfully,
are sunk too low, morally, for their depravi-
ty to be properly characterized by any word
In the language. Again, there are others
who by various ways disturb congregations
from thoughtlessness, or from lack of
proper principles being inculcated at home.
Both classes are reprehensible. Certain boys
and girls, who think themselves men and
women, have been, by their whispering,
sparkling, and horseplay, disturbing the Fort
Hill meetings: one young man going so far
as to pop matches during prayer for the de-
lectation of his companion, we understand.
We can only say that those who know no
better ought to be taught better, and those
who know better should be punished.
