RECIPROCITY AND SENTIMENT.

We have said that Mr.. Blaine's argu.
ment in favor of reciprocal exchange OF
products and manufactures between States
Of the three Americas is equally applicable
to reciprocal exchange between the United
States and any other nations of the world
with which this country can come to agree
ment. This is 50 patent a truth it is sur.
prising that any ordinary intelligence can
fail to comprehend it.
Let Us suppose a country producing cot
Zee in surplus, desiring to import it free
into the United States, reciprocity doc
trine dictates tina, cur duty 10 ourselves is
10 admit such product on condition that
some product Of the United States Of equal
importance, and for which there is mar
ket in the other country. shall be admitted
free into that State, Now it is evident
that it can make no sort of difference which
country or what its characteristics or
tongue with which We can make such an
arrangement. The question is not Of
countries, but Of trade advantage. We
can take no harm by exchange of products

HE WOULD CALL AGAIN.
An Old Gentleman Entertained and IN
structed by a Museum Lecturer.

The several signs at the door announced
grand exhibition of snakes tattooed
woman, wax figures representing the twelve
disciples and the last supper, with rare an
finals, etc. As New York Star reporter
entered the place the lecturer was all
ready to begin. He said Ladies and
gentlemen, this woman was satooed by the
savages of Borneo. Some call it tattooed
and some tabooed, but it all means the same
thing. Next to her is gorilla from Africa.
The gorilla is noted for sucking the blood
of people when asleep. | don't know
whether it's when the gorilla or the peo-
pie are asleep, and odds is the difference to
you.
"This, good people," he continued, pass
ing to the next cage, is the celebrated
buoy constructor from South America.
This reptile is able to crush an OK in his
folds. On the left of him is the raccoon,
so called from the gait, which is that of a
racking horse. Next beyond is beaver,
which secures its name from Beaver Falls,
Wis. That animal on the right is called
porkupine, so named from its love of
pork, and that one on the left is an opos-
sum. The last named creature gets his
name from the Grecian word OPP the Latin
word pos, and the Hebrew word sum-"
He then posed before the wax figures,
and went on:
"This disciple is John, that one Her.
cules, that one Mark, that one Cicero, and
so on; all good men except Judas 'Scarrot.
Each figure is an exact reproduction of
the celebrated painting by Nero, and vir-
tue is its own reward"
An old gentleman with spectacles hung
in our rear as We went out, and said to the
lecturer:
aren't you mistaken about Hercules?"
"No, sir"
Sure you amt"
Look a-here, old man, exclaimed the
lecturer, as he squared of. Z" I've been in
the show business for twenty odd years,

OF TWO CERTAIN DOGS.

The most ungrateful and unreasonable
man in the United States is citizen of
Geneva, New York. 'The Colonel is a
noble specimen of the Newfoundland dog.
He is widely known for his intelligence,
kindly disposition and courage, and IS
liked and petted by all who know him.
One day little girl fell into the canal
at Geneva. "The Colonel fortunately
happened to be passing along the towpath,
and seeing the childs peril, he at once
sprang in to rescue her. She sank, but
the dog dived to the bottom, brought the
child to the surface and swan across the
water with her. The banks of the canal
were too steep for him to ascend with his
burden, and he accordingly held the little
one above the surface safely until assist
ance came and relieved him.
In rescuing the child and holding her
up at the side of the canal the noble brute
had taken the little one by the arm near
the shoulder, her clothing not affo7ding
him sufficient hold, to keep her head out
of the water. When she was taken to her
home her father discovered the prints of
the dogs teeth upon the child's delicate
flesh, and thereupon the man set out upon
mission of revenge. He determined to
kill "The Colonel" and so hot was his
pursuit and so persistent his demand for
the dogs blood that his owner felt it to be
prudent to remove the animal TO Seneca
Falls.
1t almost passes belief that any man in
his right mind could act as did that father
Had the animal held the child by her
skirts, and thus have left her head in the
water she would have drowned, and prob
ably in that case also this peculiar parent
would have sought the dogs life for not
carrying the child head up. Had the
people of Geneva permitted "The Col
oners death" at the hands of this unrea.
soning man, the superstitious belief would
have been pardonable that Divine wrath
would have fallen upon the town.
There is in San Francisco mate for
"The Colonel" Newfoundland, known as
"The Captain" who within three weeks
has saved the lives OF two children by
rescuing them from drowning in the bay,
and the people of that city, We are told,
are very proud of the animal in conse-
quence. But 1t is not related, so far as
we can learn, that any other Newfoundland
dog than the one first mentioned, goes to
the extent of diving for the unfortunates.
That act evinces intelligence Of remark
bic degree in the brute. That the instance
related is not an exceptional one We are
assured by the Elmira Telegram, which
says that ''The Colonel" frequently dives
to the bottom Of deep waters, which sug-
gests the thought that these animals, so
useful as life-sayers, might all be taught
to dive for those they are sent into the
water TO rescue. Generally they seize
hold OF the person only at the surface. If
taught to 90 down after the sinking one,
however, their value would be still greater
to the human race.

upon a basis of substantial equality and
under the conditions of like operation IN
each of the contracting nations.
Protective tariffs. which nearly all ma
tions have, are established to modify the
effect of the industries of one country
upon another. A tariff discriminates, OF
necessity, in favor of things which we can
produce or manufacture to the best advant-
age. The free list of the tariff schedules
should. therefore, discriminate by invita-
ton to import upon basis of reciprocity.
Such a policy becomes protective one,
because we are protecting our export trade
by a reciprocal relation with nation that
will give us the best showing in the
market.
If, therefore, we are to remove any part
of the tariff barriers for any product or ar
ticle of manufacture, the country produe-
ing or making it and receiving the benefit
of its export to US should give US the op-
portunity of equal benefit ON something
we have to export and which it does not
produce. That is the plain English OF re-
ciprocity, and it must be apparent to even
the dullest intelligence that 1t can make
no sort of difference whatever what the
country with which We enter into such re-
lation. The instant we undertake TO make
an exception in the application of the re-
ciprocity principle as to nations we intro
duce sentiment, which is utterly foreign
to trade, and We confess that we are sentl-
mental ninnies, rather than a nation OF
business people.
Because the Mckinley bill. with -four
ish of trumpets, reduced the tariff revenues
to make large showing in the aggregate
of revenue cut down. and under this cover
of reduction maintained high tariff and
raised it on certain manufactured articles
| in the interest of manufacturing rings, it
| outraged the good sense of the country and
the Republican party was sharply rebuked
by the people for its championship OF the
| measure. Mr.. Blaine foresaw the storm
and had the courage to push the reel
procity idea to the front, in the hope tc
avert disaster. Not only must the Repub,
lican party abandon the mistake, If not
the commercial crime, of the Mckinley
bill, but it must replace it by reciprocity
policy concerning exports that will give
US advantages abroad equal to any and al
we grant to other nations.

the Decay of Moparchies,

Those who study the signs of the times
can not fail to perceive that hereditary
monarchy must 90, or rather that it is going
very fast 1t is highly probable that some
m mbers of the royal families do not be-
lieye that their days are numbered, but il
is fact, nevertheless. 1t is not so strange
perhaps, after all, that the royal invalids
do not perceive that their power is waning,
for there are some classes of sick people
who never realize their true condition and
are hopeful Of recovery to the FAST. Mon
archical institutions are kept alive by
stimulants given in heroic doses, which is
the usual treatment for hopelessly
broken-down constitution.
A very aged lady annoyed her doctor
exceedingly by her never-ce asing com
plants. After he had exhausted all his
remedies 10 no purpose he asked her to
tell him candidly how old she really was,
aud then she coyly owned up to SO sums
mers.
"That, Madame" exclaimed the physi-
clan, explains your weakness. You ought
not to be alive at ALL Do you expect to
live always?"
Royalty is pretty much in the same con-
dition as the old lady. 1t IS almost a
miracle that it exists al all st this late
hour in the afternoon of the nineteenth
century.

seated themselves when an usher came for

were shown to other seats not nearly so
good as their original ones, which they ae-
eepted unmurmuringly while the ladies we've
given the places from which the unoliend-
ing boys had been elected.
Presently, as the house filed up, the
same usher again made the boys give up
their seats to some more ladies, and move
10 still poorer ones The boys did not
leok as though they liked this treatment,
but they moved on again like litsle
gentlemen. as they were. The blood of at
least one spectator of this injustice boiled
with indignation. Il these BOYS had been
asked to move again there would have
been as least one earnest protest entered,
which aight or might not have shsmed
the bullying usher. Is would have been
uttered at the second infringement upon

writer, to the opinion which is held of US.

DIPHTHERIA, A CONTAGIOUS DISEASE.

When the danger from contagion mas passed,

Any person removing this card without au-
therity IS liable 70 prosecution.
This proposal was also antagonized, but
was adopted finally. 1t should be made
the law in Sacramento also.
Another proposition before the San
Francisco Board, which was adopted after
a struggle, provided that the bodies of
those dying Of contagious diseases shall
not be removed from the room until taken
out for burial, and that they shall be in
TERED within twenty-four hours, and no
formal ceremony over the remains shall be
permitted. This, too, is a wise provision
in the interests of the living.
1t may seem to be a hardship to bury a
stranger dying away from home, without
giving his friends opportunity to come to
his funeral and take charge of his remains,
but we should consider whether society is
most interested in preventing the spread
of pestilence or in sympathizing with the
afflicted.

where "Amen" Fails.

Here is a true aneodote, and one show
ing very practical way Of testing the
character Of Christian profession. An old
Methodist preacher once offered the fol-

"Amen" was responded with as much
warmth as ever. lord, help US to trust

WISE HEALTH MEASURES.

The Board of Health of San Francisco
has been wrestling with a proposition to
include diphtheria in local orders as a
contagious disease. Why it was not
adopted out of hand does not appear, but
it finally prevailed and will be incorpo-
rated in the health regulations Of that city,
as it should be in those of all towns and
cities.
A second proposition before the Board
was to require notice to be posted upon the
doors of houses where contagious diseases
appear. These notices will read some
