E. Y. Smalley says in the North
west Magazine that the gossips know
ingly talk about close relations between
the Baltimore & Ohio and Northern
Pacific railroads, and point to the APP
pointment of J. I. Odel as general
manager of the former road. Mr.. OdeU
is 4 near personal friend of President
Cakes, and came to the Northern Pa
cilic on request of the litter in lss2,
taking the position of superintendent
Of the Dakota division, with head
quarters at Fargo. He soon rose to
assistant general manager, and proved
himself the right man for the place.
Ills elevation to his present position is
gratifying TO his friends in Minnesota,
Dakota and Montana. And all hone
the gosSips are correct.

Murder Mysteries,

Years ago the Nathan murder in New
York city made q sensation throughout
the country. Every resource known to
the detective agencies Of that time WIS
brought to bear. yet the murder remains
to this day an unsolved mystery.
1t seems not so surprising, perhaps,
that the murderer of Nathan was never
known. But it does seem strange that
today, with all our telegraphs, tele-
phones, rogues' galleries and rival de-
tective agencies, there should be no less
than four murders full of mystery.
Two of the bloody crimes took place in
Chicago, two in New York. In Chicago
TascOtt, the supposed murderer of mill
ionaire Smell, is indeed known, but he
has concealed himself SO effectuaIly that
it seems as if only the day of Judgment
would reveal him. That one SO well
known as DR.. Cronin in Chicago could
be slain and the foul deed remain undis-
covered for weeks, although the body
was almost in plain sight all the while,
is inexplicable.
In New York, March Z, a young drug
clerk, Guenther Wechsung, had his skull
cloven with Ratchet, in broad daylight
in the early morning, sitting in his store.
No clew to the murderer has been found,
probably now never will be.
Again, April Is, Mary Tobin, a re-
spectacle young lady, leaves Port Rich
mond, Staten Island, to go to New York,
and thence to her home in Pennsylvania.
Two weeks afterwards her body is found
floating in the waters Of New York bay.
So far as known the girl had not an
enemy in the world. How did she come
to her death? Not a ray of light has
been thrown on the case thus far.
VIII the Tobin case also join the dark
procession of nySteriOus murders?

CANADIAN RECIPROCITY.
What the Toroato G.obe Has to Say
on an impDrtant Subj ct.

what the TOrOntO G,Obe Has to Say
on an important Subj ct.
In 1888, says the Toronto Globe, we en-
ported of the products of the mine 81
1lO,937, of which the United States took
So ,3il ,30S; of the products of the forest
$2l ,302, ,9l4, of which the United States
took 80, 1862, 1888; of the products of the
farm $40, ,l55, ,657, of which the United
States took $l7 .902 02l.
The American market was practically
our only market for barley, horses, hay,
wool and sheep. The duties paid on our
exports to the United States of these
things were: Barley, $936,000; horses,
$4S0,0O0; hay, $l70,OO0; wool, $96, 600;
sheep, $71 900.
The saving of this duty, though con-
siderable advantage to the Canadian
farmer, is small in comparison to the
advantage he would obtain by the in
crease of his sales to the United States.
The sales now hear small proportion
to the total consumption of the United
States. We sell them about ten million
bushels of barley; but their total con-
sumption of barley is siXtvfive millions.
We sell them about twenty thousand
horses a year; but it is estimated that
! 900 900 horses year are required to
supply the United States. Now if, in
spite of the duties, we are able to sell a
considerable number of these articles
to the United States, it is fair to
infer that with the duty removed we
should sell them much larger proper
tion. The Inference is justified by ex-
perience. There is now reciprocity in
eggs between Canada and the United
States. A restrictionist would argue:
''The United States people have just as
good facilities for producing eggs as we
have. Why should they buy eggs from
us?" Yet, as matter of fact, we do
sell them IA 900 900 dozen, while they
sell us only 100000 dozen; thas in to
say. we sell them thirty-fve times as
many eggs as they sell us. In twelve
years of the old reciprocity treaty we
imported from the United States $l2I,-
S72 ,2S3 of free goods, while they i'm
ported from us S239, 1872, ,284, or nearly
twice as much.
The Americans say that if there is to
be reciprocity in natural products we
should admit American manufacturers
free. We believe they should be
granted this, although we believe their
reason for asking for it is wrong. That
is to say, we believe the American peo-
pie benefit by getting our farm produce,
just as oar people benefit by selling it.
Similarly our people would benefit by
freedom to buy manufactures in the
American market. Certainly the
farmer who would like freedom to sell
his barley and horses in the American
market is not going to refuse that ad
vantage because it is accompanied by
the advantage of buying his cottons and
woolens, his hardware and agricultural
implements at prices set by fair Amer
lean competition.

ness, his agency had concluded to re-
tire from the abstract of title business.

spared to make it the most reliable and

than at present. The capital stock Of
the new company is $3.50 900.
