CANADIAN RECIPROCITY.


1t ought to be a question of no great
time when freer commercial relations
will be had with Canada. but the cleo
ton next month will hardly do more
than indicate that there is growing
minority in favor of very broad reci-
procity. The British, or protection
party, will no doubt retain control, and
will perhaps propose reciprocal traffic
with this country and the regulation of
its relations to other countries to suit
it's own interest. The discussion of
the question in the campaign indicates
an impression that free traffic with the
United States would have no connec-
ton with its tariff relations with the
outside world. 1t would be a great
thing for Canada to have unrestricted
reciprocity with the United States, and
fix its tariff duties with the rest of
the world at such figures as to
divert foreign trade from the ports of
this country to those of Canada. All
the importations that now pay duties
to get into the Omitted States could be
induced to come through the rear door.
The tariff rates of the United States
would be conformed to those of Canada
in order to save the trade. Articles put
on the free list must be also free to this
country. If there is no commercial bar
rier between the neighboring countries,
there must be substantial equality of
opportunity to share the trade abroad.
That is, there must be the same tariff
and similar taxation OF tobacco and
liquors. Sir JOHN MACDONALD and his
party have no purpose to accede to any
such conditions. They will not promote
freer trade relations with this country,
whatever their professions.

TUNNEL sELBY AVENUE.

The GLOBE, with its customary ubiQ-
tlity, was present in person at the cable
car escapade On NJ onday morning, and
it has an opinion based on knowledge
when it says that no corporation can
afford to give its patrons so much excite
ment for the small price of five cents.
The employees of the road did their
duty intelligently and bravely in the
emergency, and not a word of CRITICS M
can be passed on them. They stood by
their posts and treasured the passengers
by their example and instructions. 1t
is gratifying comment Oh the worth of
human nature that men whose services
command the small precuniary return
these men get for their work should
be so SteadfaSt in a time Of such danger.
But the accident proves quite con-
clusively that the company has not
proper appliances for use in an eXigency
of this kind. 1t is fair TO presume that
it has the best which there are to be
had, and that the real difficulty is with
the grade and direction of the hill. In
the present case no one was killed and
the train kept the track; but, In spite of
this, the occasion was one of much dis
tress, through which no one would be
willing to go very often. Something
must be done to prevent a recurrence
of the like i'll the future, and there does
not seem to be any device which will be
effective except the tunneling of Selby
avenue. A great many good results
would be accomplished by this, and it
is to be hoped that it will be done.
AS matters are now. the morning trains
are of necessity dangerously overloaded,
because it is not safe to run them at
frequent intervals, lest they should fol-
low each other down the incline in too
close succession. A grade crossing over
a street like Summit avenue. which is
constantly thronged with vehicles, is a
playing with fire which our familiarity
with it alone renders tolerable. Some
terrible accident will sooner or later
happen because of this, and the cost of
human life will more than cover the
expense of all the improvements which

THE FARMER,s soLUrIoN,

Congress is likely to enact measures
providing for substituting ships to en-
gage in traffic with South American
countries, to be promoted by reciprocity.
The proposition of the council of the
Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union
would do away with all occasion for
paying ship0wners bonus for carry
ing the products of this country abroad.
1t embOdies the reciprocity principle
and gives it license to go laden with the
surplus productions of this country
wherever there is an opening to be
found or made. 1t would revive Amer
lean shipping with no mulcting of the
national treasury, and find the best mar
kets for the farmers products in every
quarter of the globe. This is the propo-
sition:
Resolved That the legislative committee
of the National Farmers Industrial Union
be requested to prepare a bill for presentation
to the present or the following congress con-
tanning provisions that all vessels built,
owned and manned by citizens of the United
States that carry full outgoing Cargoes, to
be determined by the tonnage of the vessel.
tWo-thirds of which at least shall consist of
home agricultural products, shall be allowed
to enter and discharge their returning car
goes, provided said cargoes shall consist of
manufactured products, at any port of the
United States free of all customs duties.
We are persuaded that such a measure prop
erly carried out in detail will not only build
up the shipping interest of the country. but
result in creating a foreign market for the
surplus agricultural products of the United
States
With such an incentive the American
shipyards would be crowded with work
as never before, and in few years the
bulk of the carrying trade of the United
States would be in the homemade ships
flying the stars and stripes, and all
seas and ports would be dotted with the
sails of the great republic. There would
be constant and growing markets for
the food products that this country has
to sell. 1t is simple, straightforward
measure. and full Of possibilities of great
results.

FIRE-PRooF SCHOOLS.
The Building Inspector and His
Trip to New York.

The Building Inspector and His
Trip to New York.
Building Inspector Johnson, who
yesterday returned from New York,
where he was in attendance at the first
annual convention of the National
Association of Building Inspectors, was
elected treasurer of that organization.
Mr.. johnson reports very pleasant
trip and highly successful convention.
1T was our first convention" said he,
land its work will certainly inure to the
benefit of all American cities. 1t is the
associations object to closely study the
building interests in every branch and
secure united action for the construc-
ton of safe and solid buildings in all
cities. One matter of the utmost i'm
portance, which was thoroughly dis
cuSsed at this convention, is the
move toward fire-prOof school build
a law against building school houses
that are not absolutely fire-proOf, and
the building inspectors of the associa-
ton are unanimous i'll the belief that
the example of Gotham is worthy of
emulation in all large cities. The assO-
citation wants national building law,
and the initial steps toward making one
we're taken at our convention. In the
city Of New York on April 2 delega-
tion from our association will confer
with delegates from the Fire Chic fs'
National association, the Builders Ma
tienal association and the Architectural
Association of the United States in re-
gard to a national building law.
It is quite probable the proposed
law will be formulated at this
conference, and subsequently sub
United to congress. The building
inspectors were royalty entertained by
the National Builders association,
which was in session in New York at
the same time. We took special train
to Philadelphia one day and were

DENIED BY MCCARTHY.
A Statement That He Had Been
Subsidized by 100000.

LONDON. Feb. 1s.-Justin Mccarthy
denies in an interview the statement
that the Liberal party has subsidized the
McCarthyites with $4,000 He calls the
statement an impudent fabrication. No
one had even suggested such sub
sidy, and, if suggested, it would not
have been accepted. The party depended
for funds entirely .on their own coun-
trymen. Other members of the Nc
Carthy faction said that members of the
Mccarthy party had guaranteed the
amount necessary for immediate ex-
penses, pending arrangements to OBJ
tain resources for the electoral cam
paign. They also repudiate all idea of
impughing the good faith of William
OBrien, and said that if Mr.. O'Brien
was free they would not hesitate to trust
him absolutely with the distribution of
the funds. Meantime they were willing
that Mccarthy should place the funds in
Paris, at the disposal of properly rec
ogniZed distributors.

OPPOSE CONVICT LABOR.

st. Cloud Citizens Wrestle With
the Joint Prison Committees.
A joint meeting of the senate and
house committees on the state prison
and reformatory was held last evening
at the capitol. The subject under dis
cussion was the employment of conyicts
in the quarries at st. Cloud, thus COM
peting with honest labor A delegation
of St. Cloud citizens appeared before the
committee, urging the prohibition OF the
employment of convicts in this manner.
Managers of the state seformatory were
also present. and they succinctly laid
their case before the committee. Moth
ing was definitely decided upon.
Chairman Cantleberry, of the house
prison committee, says that the clerk of
his committee has ample work to EN-
ploy him. The committee have in
stituted a thorough inquiry into the
management of both the prison and re-
formatory, financial and otherwise,
and it will require several weeks OF
hard work on the part of the clerk to
secure all the information required.
While not desiring to reopen the dis
cussion, Messrs. Cantleberry and Nils
son assert that the opposition to the ap-
pointment of clerk to the house prison
committee originated in the senate;
that but for outside interference no
kick would have been heard respect
ing this matter in any way whatever.

Causes the Loss of Five Lives in

Causes the Loss of Five Lives in
Brooklyn. N. Y.
NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-A woman and
four children were suffocated, and man
was probably fatally burned in fire
that occurred atDelmoncoplace andHop-
kinson avenue, Brooklyn, this morning.
The building i'll which the fire occurred
is three-story frame structure. The
basement and ground floor were used as
a bakery, and two families lived on the
floors above. Jacob Enrich was at work
in the basement over pot of boiling
fat in a large pot 4:30 o'clock this
morning, when the fat boiled over, and
running to the floor. set fire to the sur
rounding woodwork. In few minutes
the building was on fire, and dense
smoke was pouring through the halls.
Enrich was badly burned and the doc
tors say he cannot recover.
An alarm was sent out and the fire
men responded and were quickly at
work. They managed to subdue the
flames after the bakery and second
floor had been Quilted. The firemen, as
soon as possible, made a search of
the building and on the top floor foun

were asleep when the fire broke out,
and were overcome by the smoke be-
fore they could escape. The bodies of
Mrs. Henry and two of the children
were found in the hallway at the top of
the stairs. The bodies of the otner two
children were lying just inside the door

PENNSYLVANIA FLOODS.
The Loss of Property Estimated
at $1,OOO,OOO.

PITTsBURG, Feb. l6.-At 1 o'clock
this afternoon the flying current in the
Allegheny river reached 80 feet IL
inches and began to slowly recede. AS
even the widest estimate had placed
high water at 25, the great damage
inflicted in this city is due more to care
lessneSs in removing goods than to the
very high water. With nearly every
iron mill flooded and closed down, rail
road tracks washed away, squares
upon squares of streets flooded
to the second story and eel
lars filled. and the direct loss
by flood canEot fall less than 81 ,000,-
900. The poor living along the river
have suffered so greatly that appeals for
aid have been issued by the mayor of
Allegheny. A special from Johnstown
says:
1t is found that the foundations of many
houses are undermined and loosened. thus
entalling great loss. TIE bones of a food
victim were found at the point to-day, RaV
ing been washed up by the waters. They
were taken to the morgue and then inferred
III the unknown plot at the cemetery.
Street cars are running again, and it is
expected that the Cambria works Will resume
operations tomorrow. The most serious
loss IS now felt to be the destruction Of
bridges, as the different sections of the city
have no communication by wagons or trains
for months. The towns below this city are
still in great distress. while farming commu-
mites are great losers"
A special from Wheeling says:
The river has continued to rise here all
day land at 10 o'clock tonight is still coming
up, though the encouraging report comes
from above that the water is falling. The
damage has been very great here, but it is
impossible to estimate the amount at
present Certain it is that much suffering
will result as very large area of the city is
under water. The whole of Wheeling
island, the Fifth ward is flooded, and to-
night most OF its 4.000 inhabitants will sleep
on high ground in the main part of the city"
In South Wheeling hundreds of
houses of wOrkingmen employed in
mills and factories are under water.
and IN the business center many of the
wholesale houses are flooded. The
surrounded and the basement filled
with water. Business is almost en-
tirely suspended. No trains are arriving
or departing. The depots are under
water and the railroad yards are
blocked, the engines and cars standing
in water over their wheels. The Stamm
and Windsor hotels have both water on
their first floors, and guests are obliged
to go in and out the windows. 1t
is not thought there will be
further rise of more than foot
which will put the water little above
the fOrty-fve-foot stage. Reports from
down river glass and pottery districts
also show heavy losses sustained by the
flooding of these industries. In spite of
the general destruction of property not
a single case of loss of life can be dl-
rectly traced to the flood.
