Mr.. T. NJ. Darrah and I were helping
each other to wait for a freight car to
get back on the track and fell to talking
about city matters, to which Mr.. Darrah
has given long and close attention with
unusual opportunities for observation at
short range. "We ought to do away

given way to tho Camden system OF

BLAINE HANGING BACK.
That Is the Charge Against the
Secretary at Montreal,

That Is the Charge Against the
Secretary at Montreal.
MONTREAL, Que, April - Refer
ring to the trip of the trade delegates to
Washington, the Gazette (ministeriaD
says: "This may be courteous and
diplomatic way of intimating that the
United States government declines to
even consider the question of reciproc-
ity with Canada, or it may be the fruit
Of Sir Richard Cartwright's desperate
efforts to induce Americans to refuse
negotiations with the Conservative gov
ernment. on the ground that much bet
ter can be secured from the Liberals.
We are bound, however, to accept the
excuse put forward by MI. Blaine for the
unexpected pOstponement of the infor-
NAL conference, although doing so
taxes our credulty somewhat heavily.
Canada can await Mr.. Blaine's notifica-
tlon that he is ready TO begin negotia-
tiOns. Meanwhile it is obvious that Sir
John Macdonald is ready and eager to
proceed to the business of concluding a
broad and liberal trade with the United
States, while the American authorities
are hanging back"
Speaking Oh the subject the Herald
LIberaD says: sit does not appear that
there was any design on the part of Mr..
Blaine or President Harrison to block
Sir Charles Tupper's scheme Mr..
Blaine is not consumed with burning
desire to enter into reciprocity negotia-
tions with Sir John Macdonald's gov
ernment, as he does not know how far
they are prepared to go beyond the
treaty of 1854. On the whole, the move
seems to be simply one to gain time to
quiet the reciprocity wing of the Con-
servative party by show of doing
something, so as to tide over what
threatens to be for the governm ent a
lively and difficult question"

EASILY MADE HAPPY,
Tariff Bill Mckinley Likes the
Returns.

WASHINGTON, April r. Ex-Repre-
sentative Mckinley is very much elated
over the result of the local elections in
Ohio yesterdays In an interview this
evening, he said: II think Republican,
ism is revlving, not only in Ohio, but in
all parts of the country. The people
are beginning to find out the false
prophets who talked about the tariff
last year. They see that the increased
prices and all that was a part of the
scheme of Misrepresentation. You re-
member the recent local elections in
New York state were very encouraging
TO the Republicans. You can never
argue with absolute accuracy from
merely local elections, but l think the
Republicans are in pretty good shape all
over the country"
OF the outlook for 1892, Maj. McKiu-
ley said:
II think the Republicans are bound
to elect the president in 1872 whoever
they nominate. l notice that Mr.. Hill
is trying to change the issue and to put
different Interpretation on the Novem-
ber elections from that popular with the
Democrats. do not know where there
is any significance in that"
Discussing politics further, he said
that he did not see how the Democrats
could avert making silver a leading
issue i'll the next presidential contest if
they passed free coinage bill through
the house and it was defeated either in
the senate or by the presidents veto.
He did not think, however, that the
nomination of Mr.. Cleveland would
necessarily be lnterfered with by that.

KANSAS CURIOSITIEs.
Several Peculiarities in the
"BIeedlngr Commonwealth.

Several Peculiarities in the
BLEEDING" Commonwealth.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 7.-Elec-
tions were held in Kansas to-day in all
cities of the first and second classes.
Although without general political sig
nificance the results of the cleo
ton ale regarded with considerable
interest for two reasons-frst, because
the Citizens Alliance has tickets in the
field and is fighting all the old parties.
The Citizens Alliance is practically a
branch of the Farmers Alliance. 1t is
organized on the same basis and has the
same objects in view. IL is composed
of that element in the cities which
would Join the Farmers Alliance but
for the fact that the constitution
of the latter organization will
admit none but farmers. This
element has been organized in the cities
mostly since the Farmers Alliance
landslide last fall, and this election is
its first opportunity for showing its
strength. Much interest is manifested
i'll the result on this account. The
other element in the election which at
taches interest to it is the fact that
women, under the laws of Kansas, are
allowed equal suffrage with men in mu-
nlclpal elections. Returns from sew
eral cities show that the Citizens
Alliance did not cut much of figure in
the election, excepting where it in.
dorsed the Democratic nominees. In
those places they were successful in
electing the Democratic nominees. Re-
turns from Leavenworth show that the
eutire Republican ticket has been
elected. This is the first Republican
victory for six years in that vicinity.
At Lawrence the Republicans were
also successful. They elected their
full ticket, with the exception
of two members of the council elected
by the Citizens alliance. At Clay Cen
ter the Republicans defeated the Citi-
ZenS' Alliance. and at Wichita the Dem
ocrats carried everything. Atchison
elects Republican officers. and Olathe
mixed set of officers, with the Republi-
cans in control. AT Ottawa all the
parties combined against the Republi-
cans, but the latter were successful.
Incomplete returns from nearly all
voting precincts of Kansas City give
small plurality for Stout, DEM, for
mayor. Official returns may change

COUNTERFEIT CERTIFICATE.
1t Is Causing Considerable Trouble
at Washington.


at Washington.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE counter
felt 50 silver certificate heretofore de-
Scribed in these dispatches is causing
considerable trouble at the treasury de-
partment. Not more than twenty of
these counterfeits have come into the
hands of treasury officials. The extent
of their circulation, however, is not
known, as they cannot be readily de-
tected except by experts. The issue of
the regular 81 certificate has been
suspended. and arrangements are
being made for the issue of
substitute. The original bears the por-
trait of Gen. Hancock, and the subSti-
tnte will have that of Secretary VIM
dom. While the old series has not been
called in, none of the notes of that
series coming into the treasury will be
reissued. The department is also con-
sidering the advisabilitY of discontinue
ing the use of the distinctive paper on
which government notes and securities
are now printed. A commission has
been appointed to investigate the manu-
facture and use of the paper, and to re-
port whether the interests of the gov
ernment require any additional safe
guards in that respect. 1t is stated at
the department that this paper has
never yet been successfully initiated.
1t is felt, however, that no harm can
come from efforts intended to remove
all possible doubt on the subject.
