REMARKS.

1t is well known that many other Countries
have already secured or are about to secure
Reciprocity Treaties with the United States,
and as there are no accounts published Of
similar steps having been taken on the part
of Denmark; and as the absence of such a
treaty is supposed, by parties residing in the
United States and conversant with suoh
affairs, as being likely to produce very
ntoward results with regard to the shipping
oflproduce from the Island to the United States
of America, seeing that after the lstJanuary
next a duty can be charged on Sugars from
this place, if the President of the United
States sees fit to do SO ;-it is a matter of
Importance to obtain definite information
in that respect.
St. Croix, goth October 1891.
A. j. BLACKWOOD,
End Member for Frederiksted'S
Country District.
The Council consented tacitly to the Inter
pellation being forwarded.
End Member for Frederiksted's Country
District (Blackwood) introduced the Interpret.
lation: he said that his intention is to ask the
Government if anything had transpired be-
tween the Government of Denmark and that of
the United States in reference to the point of
securing a reciprocity treaty between the two
Governments. He had been asked this ques-
ton by his New York House, and they state
that many other nations had air eady opened
negotiations for, or had obtained, such treaties,
but nothing had been noticed in reference to
Denmark doing SO; and as it is considered un-
safe to ship anything in the shape eff sugars
from this island to the United States of
America after the lst January 1892, as the
President is at liberty to impose a duty at his
discretion on such sugars when entering any
port of the United States, it was necessary for
us to know how matters stand, as we must
o fcourse act accordingly. Hence he had in
PRODUCED the Interpolation.

THE sudden death Of Secretary
Window, which occurred in New
York city On Friday evening Of last
week, was as unexpected as it was
shocking to the country. Mr..
Window was in the Gath year of HE
age, and had been before the public
as Congressman, United States Sen
ator and Cabinet officer for over
twenty years. He was secretary of
the treasury under President Gar
field, and retired upon the success
sion of Mr.. Arthur to the presidency,
owing to the fact that his financial
views were not at that time accept
able to Wall street. At the time Of
his death he was in full accord with
the monometallists, to which fact
he owed his situation as secretary
of the treasury at time of his de-
mise. Deceased occupied prom
inent place in the business world,
and ranked high up among the best
intellects of the nation, and as a
party leader and popular financier
of the sort that enriches the spec
ulative class, his place will be hard
to fill. His public life was clean,
and if class rule is craftsmanship
he was statesman.

Senator Hoar charges that all the
republican senators who voted to
Law aside the force bill, with the ex-
ception of Wolcott, did so in viola
ton of written pledge given at the
last session of the senate, and in
support of this charge publishes an
agreement which he says was signed
by all Of the republican senators
except Stanford, Edmpnds, Ingalls,
and Wolcott. In this Senator Hoar
probably proves too much. Some
people may inquire on reading a
pledge Of this kind whether the
senator's actually eigned it; and if
they did the question whether men
who are duped into signing their
liberty away a year ahead are COM
petent representatives of free con-
stitucncy may obtrude itself into
their minds. Evidently if those
senators signed the pledge. as Mr..
Hoar says they did, they did SO at
the command of some self-consti-
tuted leader; evidently, also, if Ed
munds. Ingalls,, Wolcott and others
declined to sign it they did 80 be-
cause they could not afford to stoop
to the Intellectual serfdom of sign
ing it. They were free to act as the
occasion came up and proposed to
maintain their freedom; and with
that their right to represent their
constituents. But in this instance
the masters liberated the slaves, a
fact overlooked by Mr.. Hoar. They
pledged themselves, according to
his statement, to take up for con-
sideration on the first day of the
next session, the federal election
bill, and to keep it before the sem
ate to the exclusion Of all other
legislative business until it was dis
posed of by vote" In accordance
with this plan the election bill was
brought up. but its friends finding
they could not pass it. themselves
set it aside to take up and pass a
cloture resolution, which was legis-
lative business, and by that act re-
leased the bond senators from the
obligation of their foolish pledge.
