what the Canadians want.

The New York Times, in leader on our
relations with Canada, day or two ago.
said that the Canadians do not seem to bp
convinced that reciprocity of trade between
the two countries would be- a benefit to them
and that until they are it is not of much use
| for Us to urge it. The remark bctrays a
| singular ignorance of Canadian sentiment.
! What the Canadians want of all things is
reciprocity of trade with this country. Tn
der the reciprocity treaty which wa, in force
for twelve years. from 1854 to 1856. Cana
ohan business of all kinds prosperel as never
before. The abrogalion OF the treaty lessen
Ell the value of every Canadian farm. and
| lowered the profits Of every branch of trade
III the Dominion having any connection with
the American market. The Canadian rov-
eminent at once began negotiations to Sc
cure new reciprocity treaty: aud from
That day to this the key note and axplana-
ton OF all the conduct OF the Dominion to-
ward the United States. including the nao-
glnG and offensive treatment of American
fishermen, has been the devourng desire of
the Canadians for reciprocal trade with this
country. This is what they want. and
about all they want. If reciprocity were to
bA accorded to thcm--as it will not bc-we
should hear little more about commercial
union, or any arrangement for more init
mate relations bet the two countries
Another page of the same issue of the
Times containing the stupid suggestion
above quoted, contained report of the lee
ture by Prof Schurman. an Intelligent
Canadian, on the political situation in
Canada In this he said that both
parties in Canada, which comprise the whole
voting population of the Dominion desire
reciprocity with this country-the only diff
ference between them on the subject being
that the liberals want Unrestricted recpro-
city while the conservatives desire only reel
procltv in natural products, such as they
had under the old treaty This is of course
the simple truth. Our Canadian neighbors
have tried diplomacy. menace. irritation.
and other methods to secure their object.
But our leading Legislators at Washington
have thus far discovered no advantage to be
gained which would compensate this country
for those it would reinquish under such an
And until the general situa-
ton changes it is Of little use for the polit-
clans of either country to discuss reciprocity. /.

the execution Of murdercrs 10y electricity
prohibits the publication in any newspaper
of the details of any such execution beyond
the statement of the fact that the convict

according to law at the prison. MANY of
the New York city newspapers have already
announced their intention to ignore the
clause as being in their opinion unconstitu-
tional; many Others however, viii obey it as
a proper provision, designed to protect the
public from the narration of horrible and
