READY FOR RECIPROCITY

Toward Canada.

The President Believes the Canadian
Commissioners should Treat Directly
with the Secretary Of state Whom He
Returns to the Capitol
WAsHINoToE, Oct. 3.--The report from
Ottawa that the reciprocity conference set
for Oct. l2 between Secretary Blaine and
representatives Of Che Canadian govern.
ment has been indefinitely postponed, is
confirmed at this executive mansion and at
the state department.
The Presidents Reason.
The reason given for the postponement
Is that the president deems II best that the
Canadian commissioners should deal di-
rectly with Mr.. Blainef and Mr.. Harrison,
therefore, asked for postponement until
Mr.. Blaine's return to Washington, when
time for meeting could be arranged.
Our Government Ready.
The statement is made at the state de
partment that this government is ready te
meet Canada now in regard to reciprocity
but Mr.. Blaine's great personal interest in
the matter dictated that he should con
duet the negotiations on the part Of the
United States.
The date for the postponed conference
Oct. 12, was agreed upon last spring wher
the Canadian representatives came e
Washington TO discuss the reciprocit,
scheme, but found that Mr. Blaine wa
not quite ready 10 meet them.

A STARTLING RECORD OF THE
KILLED.

A STARTLING RECORD OF THE
KILLED.
The study OF history is full Of sur
prises
There are few prominent men whose
records will bear Investigation for any
considerable length Of time. A witty and
sardonic Member Of Congress has pro
posed that the records Of all public men
be dsbarred or outlawed after two
years. It Is seldom, indeed, that a promi-
ment statesman's public speeches cannot
be quoted against him after the lapse Of
few years.
But these Inconsistencies are not
startling like the surprises OF history
They are inoonvenlent but not otherwise
noticeable
1t is often said that this is peaceful
nation. Colonel Theodore A. Dodge. a
we'll known military writer, deals with
that fallacy as an iconoclast deals with
an unfounded superstition. He says:
Since the revolution there have been
wars with England aud Mexico, with
Tripoh and with Algiers; broils with
Paraguay and Corea, and a gigantic civil
war, rumors Of wars with France, Eng
land, Spain, and Italy There have been
the John Brown raid, the Barnburner
aud FenIan raids to Canada, many in
cursions across the Mexican border, and
the 6libustering expeditions to Cuba and
| Nicaragua. We have had the Whiskey and
/ Shays rebellions; the election, draft, rail.
road. reconstruction and sundry serious
| city riots; we have had we'll on to two
hundred deadly Indian fights and many
awful massacres. We have lost NOR,
men in active war since 1776 than an,
nation Of Europe This Is a startling
record for peaceful people,
II Colonel Dodge had added som
statistics concerning our pension list
which tends TO show that every soldie

Confederscy either killed or crippled a
