MORE RECIPROCITY.


 Now that reciprocity has got start it appears to be making rapid progress. A reciprocity agreement similar to that made with Brazil is said to have been effected with the Republic of Venezuela, and proc lamation thereof is expected as soon as the official documents now on the way have been received. While the foreign trade of Venezuela is much smaller than that of Brazil, we have had a larger pro- portionate share in it. We have imports from that country amounting to $10,000,- 900 year or more, consisting mostly of articles which, with the exception of hides and skins, are not produced in this country.
 The total exports of Venezuela in 1886 were little more than s11 ,OOO, ,OOO, and their imports were about ss,OOO,oO0. Of this amount the Venezuelans took from us more than 5000, ,0OO in 1886, and in 1888 that country took from the United States products to the amount of S3,O0O, ,000 This included about s6O0,OOO worth of breadstuffs, principally wheat four, about $500, 900 worth of cloths. $400, ,000 worth manufactures of iron and steel, and more than s500,000 worth of provisions and dairy products.
 Undoubtedly more reciprocity treaties will follow. It will then be incumbent upon the exporters of this country to offer such inducements to the buyers in the countries treated with as to drive out the English and German traders. It is great gain to have the way open.

"ATCHISON.o

for s'Rears'' to Consider.
 The Boston News Bureau says: The heavy increase in Atchison's operating ex- penses as shown in the December state ment is probably accounted for by the in creased train service necessitated both by competition and the demands of the west ern granger. The effect of increased train service in the east has been to build up To- cal business, but in the west where popu lation is more thinly spread out it is likely to be an expensive move for a considera- ble time yet.
 There is no question but that the Mis- souri Pacific, the Southern Pacific and the Rock Island roads, which do not publish net returns, have taken advantage of the detailed statements which the Atchison management has given to its shareholders. The Atehison has striven to hold the busi- ness it claims as its own, and the Rock Is land especially has used every effort to di vert it.
 All the roads have striven perhaps tot strongly for heavy tonnage, possibly with the idea that in any new agreement | or association allotments would be based upon the tonnage shown.
 But when the Missouri Pacific ant Southern Pacific talk of consolidation | with the Atchison the stockholders of thu latter company naturally ask for the ne returns of the two companies to be placed | side by side with Atchison.
 The Atchison has been the only compa ny to cut its charges, and consequently i
 is looked upon with longing eyes as me
 dium through which the percentage O
 some other roads charges can be reduced
 But even admitting that the Atchison'
 heavy operating expenses are the result o
 an improbable increase of business,
 should not necessarily cause any declin
 in the price of its stock from the presen
 low basis.
 Il The reorganization of the Atchiso ] placed it in Q peculiarly strong fnancii

THE HARTFORD MUDDLE.

For few days people have felt little encouraged about the muddle at Hartford and have felt warranted in hoping that there would be an honest and patriotic effort made by both parties to settle some thing. But there has been another turn and the outlook is again gloomy. There is renewed talk of adjournment without do- ing or trying to do the business which is pl essing for attention. But it is to be hoped that the Republicans will not do the adjourning. The Hartford Courant gives good advice when it says: If the wrangle over State offices cannot be adjusted, then, after seating Staub, let the house appoint it's own committees, as it can constitution ally, and go ahead and do the business that is required by the ,000 busy people of this stirring commonwealth. That is what the state of Connecticut pays them for doing. It is what they were elected to do. If there comes break in the regular order, let the Democrats make it. Pile up the business at the door of the senate and show the people who is re- sponsible for the neglect of their interests. But don't run away until your work is done, or until the senate, by adjournment makes further work futile. The Republi can majority can be trusted to hold to- gether on whatever is right An adjourn ment to prevent it from melting away" if indefensible. It is subordinating State to party. Let the Democrats make the mis takes, and then trust the people to sustain the right
 This is sound sense. The Republican. cannot afford to dodge the issue by ad journment of the house.

CONGREGATIONS.

What the Constitution Says About It. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 If the good people of Connecticut would pause in their wrangling and read their Constitution and their Webster they might come to conclusion.
 Article 2, Sect 1. ''The legislative power of this State shall be vested in two distinct houses, or branches; the one to be styled the senate, the other the house of repre- sentatives, and both TOGETHER the general assembly," The words distinct" and ito gether" are sharply contrasted.
 Webster -''Together.-1, In the same place; as to live together in one house,, In the same time, contemporaniously as to live together in the same age.-3, In company, unitedly; as we walked together to the wood.-4, In, or into, union; into junction; as to sew, knit, pin, or fasten two things; to mix things together, &c., &c." Sect. 2 of Article invests the gen. eral assembly with the power of canvass ing and declaring votes for State offices.
 Can there be any doubt in the minds of rational and unprejudiced individuals as to what the general assembly is when it meets for the purpose9 It is neither the senate nor the house, nor both acting separately, but dis tinct body to which membership is limited to members of the house and senate, and in which members, whether from the house or senate, are undis- tinguishable units. The general assembly has acts to perform which it has not per formed It is the imperative duty of con- stituted authority to force it to meet and act. It cannot be supposed that the framers of the constitution were jackasses. They must have anticipated the possibility of the two bodies being of different politi- cal complexions. They therefore ordered the general assembly in a manner to meet the emergency. Constitutions and laws must be interpreted so as to make them operative. D. CADY EATON.

it. Since it's repeal there has been steady demand from the commercial world for the enactment of a law that would secure the rights and further the interests of both creditors and honest debtors without per hitting the abuses that existed under the old statute.
 The Catholic Review advocates the formation of Catholic party in this country, but the Boston Pilot sensibly and forcibly opposes the idea as follows: The attempt to form Catholic party in Amer ica would be not only disastrous, but utterly needless, unwise and wrong Nothing can weaken it (the Catholic church) but the weakness of its own mem bers. Nothing can impair the confidence of the non-Catholic population in its con- servative influence so much as an attempt to bring it into. politics, thus inviting the formation of a rival Protestant party, with all the bitterness and injustice of a secta- rian conflict So far from wishing to see Catholic party organized, we are re- joiced to see Catholic citizens dividing on party lines in politics, and proving to the doubting Thomases of Knownothingism that they are none the less, but all the more, good Democrats or Republicans for being good Catholics and good Americans.
