Tho REVIEW must confess itself at
loss TO determine why u journal pub
iished In Washington should prefer
close trade relations with Mexico TO
reciprocity with Canada. Yet that
is precisely the attitude assumed by
the Seattle Post-Intelligenccr.
some time ago the REVIEW made u
hypothetical declaration in favor of
reciprocity with Canada. "If we
are to have reciprocity treaty.
this paper then declared, "by all
means let II be with "a people of our
own iuce, who are identified with
us in ancestry aud ideas, and whose
future friendship Is 30 largely dc
dependent upon closer trade rela-
tions.n
This expression was called out by
u report that Secretary Blaine was
negotiating with Mexico for closer
trade relations, seemingly in prefer
ence 20 reciprocity with Canada.

a sense of Justice demands that
the complete exoneration of Alex

la tho Infamous Cronin conspiracy
should be emphasized, For a long
while the finger ofsuspiclon pointed
toward MIR. Sullivan, and thousands
Of people who followed the develop
mcnts of that remarkable case be-
came fully convinced that he was
the arch-conspirator of the bloody
deed. At last this tangled tale of
crime has been pretty we'll straight
cncd out, and tho authorities hnve
entirely discredited the confession Of
Frank Woodruff, which implicated
sullivan and Others.
While the lying confession of

Rather than remain In obscurity,

fcs sed u crime he never committed,
and TO intensity tho sensation he
dragged in the names of men of
national reputation. For the sake

black shadow of the gallows, and II
the authorities had attached any
importance to his confession, and
had convicted him OF participation

would have gone to the gallows
with n spirit of oxultation.
IL was this morbid craving for
public attention that impelled crazy
Gulteau To assassnate President
Garfield. He feasted upon the son

U'ASHTNGToN ~ HISToRY.

The Baltimore journal of Com
morce of April 10 contains an olabo-
rate description of the new state of
Washington, written from u cOnser-
Vative and wholly unprejudiced
standpoint. Like the press of WASH
ington, Il studiously avoids fulsome
flattery, but confines itself TO actual
facis, as they are presented to an
unbiased investigator.
The article opens with general
description Of the state of Washing
ton, its urea and the rapidity with
which II hus been settled. IL treats
of the climate, showing from Official
records that it is mild and equable,
with no startling extremes of heat
or cold
y chapter is devoted to the rapid
increase in population, the labor sup
ply, the scale Of wages for various
kinds OF work, and the opportuni-
ties Offered those who are willing to
work.
Especial attention is given to the
agricultural resources OF the state,
which are susceptible Of almost un-
bounded development, and capable
OF producing 200,0OO,O00 bushels of
wheat bysldes the tremendous yields
Of fruit. Other products are shown,

Seattle Post-lntelligenccr: During
the year isS0 tho state of Washington
exported coal, whent, lumber, hops, cat
tie, sheep, ash, ETC., to the amount of
23,5o0,Ooo. This is u highly respectable
showing for a young and paratively
undeyeloped state, Indicating, when all
of her waste places are filled up and u
fair share Of her natural resources arc in
course Of development, an enormous
surplus for export. lInt, on the other
hand, this state imports largely of
many articles which can lie PRO.
duced In prOiusion and of superior
quality right here at home. A largo

products, eggs, poultry and meats that
are consumed In this state nrc brought

There Is no reason IN IL. Thee is

worth the while of our property-holdcrs

lines 1t would add almost fabulouslv Ia

This proposition Is self.evldcnt. On

system failure? We think not.
That perfect harmony will ever

proposition unworthy Of discussion.
None but drcamers aud vlsionaries

Capital and labor arc Identical In
interest, because warfare or idleness
entails loss on both. Their inter
ests are Identical, since they arc
mutually engaged IN the manu-
tacture Of an article which they
must deliver to the worlds great
storehouse before they will bc per-
ipItted to withdraw from that same

Yakima Herald; Changes in land de
pnrtment rulings respecting lands
within tho Northern Pacific grant are
causing much disturbance throughout
the state. Lands that have been held
and improved for years as railroad lands
are now held by the department az
Washington to be government lands.
Land jumpers, hoping to profit by the
changed rulings, are in many instances
applying to enter these improved lands
under the government land laws. This
is working serious injury to property
rights acquired in good faith under th.
old rulings, and an urgent appeal Is
being made for the passage of law that
Will prevent the retroactive effect of
changes made in landoGlce rulings
and that will fully recognize and protect
the rights of persons who have been
holding lands which under former rul-
ings were deemed to be part of the
railroad grant.

THE GERMAN cRhSls

Bismarck must derive n grim sort
of satisfaction from the cmperor's
failure In dealing with the socialists.
The young emperor persisted In
holding the reins, and he has driven
precisely where the iron chancellor
told him he would. Now he pro
poses return to old methods. But
will he succeed? II Is doubtful. Only
m iron hand can WELD an iron rule,
and nothing short of Bismarck's
masterful control is likely to hold In
control the soclalistic drift of Ger.
many.
Ii Emperor William had per
mtted himself to be guided by the
star Of history, It is not probable
that he would have made the
present falsc step. Experience
proves that nonarchial concession
TO popular clamor only leads to new
eNactions upon the part of the
element gaining 1t. Men are like
tigers cubs, The taste of power,
like the taste Of blood, converts
them into unreasoning atitocrats.
Thus William of Prussia ii nds him
self between two hot and perilous
fires. If he attempts to return to
the methods of his fathers, he will
have to deal with u human tiger
that has had its first taste of blood.
