The Canadian answer to the complaints
of the grain shippers of Detroit, Chicago
and other centers of that trade in the
United States, that American shippers are
illegally Disseminated against in the mat
ter of tolls on the Welland canal. is that
these shippers have no legal rights what
ever in this matter. The only provision
in the treaty of Washington of 1871 bear
ing upon this matter is in article %, which
reads as follows: 1.-The government of
her Britannia majesty engages to urge
upon the government of the Dominion of
Canada to secure to the citizens of the
United States the use of the Welland, st.
Lawrence and other canals in the Domin-
Ion on terms of equality with the inhabit-
ants of the Dominion" In this same
article the government of the United
States undertakes ito urge upon the
state governments TO secure to the
subjects of her Britannia majesty the
use of the several state canals connected
with the navigation OF the lakes or rivers
traversed by or contiguous to the bound
airy line between the possessions of the
high contracting powers. on terms of
equality with the inhabitants of the
United States" This provision of the
treaty is practically Of no effect, for Great
Britain has never exerted her authority to
persuade Canada to change her policy of
discrimination, nor has our government
ever urged New York to give Canadian
vessels the same rights q. American in the
Erie canal There was provision in the
reciprocity treaty of 1S54 which gave the
right of free navigation in the Welland
canal to citizens of the United States, but
that treaty was long since ahrogated.

lost the confidence of the National Repub-
lican party.
Since 1850 no Republican administra-
ton, save that of Arthur, has had any
love for Edmunds. He hated Garfield be-
cause he made Blaine secretary of state;
and he has stood aloof from Harrison for
the same reason; his hostility for John
Sherman and President Hayes was
scarcely less marked in 1880 than it was
for Blaine. If Mr.. Harrison is his own
successor or is succeeded by Mr.. Blaine,
Mr.. Edmunds knows that the administra-
ton will not be to his liking; his day OF
influence has come to its hour of declining
sun, and he wisely left the Senate before it
absolutely was lost in twilight. His de-
parture caused small sensation; no
mourning or even regret from
the party at large; the most
eloquent mourner is George William
Curtis, who, grateful for Edmund's sue
cessful treason to Blaine in 1884, recently
panegyrized the departing Vermont deity
of the Mugwumps; SO that the only sim
cere mourners at the departure of Mr.. Ed
munds from the Senate and from political
life are the Mugwump faction of the DEM
ocratic party, the deserters from the Re-
publican camp; the same kind of mourn
ers that Judge Trumbull had when he
stepped out of the Senate and into OBJ
security.
Mr.. Edmunds, like Judge Turnbull, may
live number of years, but like him, he
will soon find out that few people will in
quire concerning his health, outside of
clients whose causes need him in court.
Richard the Third ruled so hatefully
that he confessed:
"There is no creature loves me;
And if die. no soul shall pity me"

The date for the National Republican
convention, June Z, is not unusually early.
In 1880 the Republicans called their con-
vention TO meet on June 2, and the Dem
ocrats called theirs for June %. In 1884
the dates were: Republican, June 3, and
Democratic, July 8. In 1883 the Demo
Gratis took the lead. fixing their date at
June S, and the Republicans following

of sleeping place, making a short
turn and sleeping below their fresh

The Senate Not Always Dull When He
Was "a Member.

The United States Senate has had
few, If any members who awaited
themselves of every opportunity to
shake up the dull monotony of that
body like unto Matt Carpenter, and it
was generally in the best Of humor. The
sarcasm of Edmunds was often personal.
and the same may be said OF Vance
and Ingalls,, but this could not be
charged against Carpenter. He always
championed the pages and other en-
ployes of the Senate and when going
to and from the Capitol. he would
most generally be seen on the front
platform Of the street car engaged in
conversation with the driver. As an
aristocrat he was failure
One day while Carpenter was presid-
ing in the senate, Senator Morrill,. who
had pet measure he desired to get
before that body. and which required
unanimous consent noting that the
seat of Senator Salisbury was vacant,
and knowing he would object were he
present thought he saw his opportu.
nifty, and in his dignified manner arose
and called up his bill. Before he hat
fully stated his case Salisbury wa!
seen entering from cloak room

HOW A TOWN WAS NAMED,
Seven Auburn Haired Daughters Hon.
Ored by the Citizens.

ored by the Citizens
The town of Auburndale, Wis. re-
ccived its name in a peculiar manner, :"
said Milwaukee drummer in an ex-
change. Years ago, when that Sec
ton was comparatively umdeveloped
and land was cheap, a man named
King located there and built a mill.
The place had good shipping facil-
tiles, and the mill soon became nu-
cleus OF quite thriving, bustling little
town.
Then arose the question of name
for the embyro city, and by common
consent the right of naming it was con-
ceded to the first settler, Mr.. King.
The citizens wanted to call the place
Kings Mills, but the old gentleman
objected. He said he didn't want his
name tackled on to any One-horse or
two-horse village.
Now the old man was the happy
father OF seven bouncing daughters,
and the villagers suggested that the
name of one of them should be given to
the new town.
This idea pleased the father as
much as it pleased the seven daugh-
tiers, hut which one of the seven fair
ones should be honored above her six
sisters? The town could not be hand
icapped with all the seven names.
FINALLY happy thought struck the
old man. Every one of his sever
daughters was red-headed. He decided
to honor them all by christening the
town Auburndale. and Auburndale il
| remains to this day."
