AMERICAN RECIPROCITY pREFERRED.
British Guiana Rejects the Proposals
of Canada.


The Bureau of the American Repub-
lies has information that overtlres re-
Gently made by the Government of Can
ada to the Government of British Guiana
for q reciprocity treaty were rejected by
the latter on the ground that an arrange
ment of this character with the United
States is preferred. Mr.. George Il. Foster,
the Finance Minister of Canada, addressed
a letter to the Right Hon. Visconnt Cor
mansion, the Governor Of British Guiana,
in which he stutcd that he was author
lied to make the following proposals with
view to the extension of trade between
the two colonies:
II. The Government of Canada will
ask such legislation as will permit the in
PRODUCTION of all sugars, being the pro-
duct Of the British West India Islands
and British Guiana, to be used for rehn-
ing purposes, at reduction from the
present duty Of about 25 per cent, and of
fruits, being the product of the said colo
agreed upon.
80 In return for this differential treat
ment of sugars and fruits the said colo
nies are asked to accord an equivalent
dilfcrential treatment to the products of
Canada imported into their territory, Corn
prised under the following heads (a) The
products of the forest; (b) The products
of the sea; (c) Agricultural products of
all kinds; Id Animals and their products;
(e) Coal; fD Such manufactured articles
as may be agreed upon.
"As in earnest Of its desire to enlarge
its trade relations with the British West
Indies and British Guiana, the Government
of Canada has already made arrangements
to establish two important lines OF steam
communication-one to make sixteen
trips per year between St. John and DEM
erara, touching at all the principal leeward
and windward islands, and one to make
Jamaica, the cost Of which to Canada Will
amount to about sss, 900 per year.
I'm return for these services, which are
of equal benefit TO both Canada and the
colonies. the Government and Canada
confidently expects the corporation of

How They Work us.

"Do you know, said a matron whose
married life extends over score of years,
that attribute, in considerable degree,
the happiness of our life 10 custom
which my husband and myself have un-
failingly respected--we never do any talk
ing, hardly speak TO one another, indeed,
before breakfast. He was quite con.
iirned bachelor when married him and
he told me soon afterward that, until he
had taken his breakfast coffee, he held
the most morose and gloomy views of
everything. | thought at first this was q
little peculiar, but when my attention
was thus called TO it i discovered that J.,
too, found life much more agreeable, aad
small burdens much more bearable after
had broken my nights fast. Many
wives tell me their most available time to
talk over things is during the dressing
hour. ! always feel like begging them To
try some othertime. Itis amental exertion
to discuss the ways and means Of this ex.
acting existence Of ours--too great one,
think, to be indulged in before breakfast" +"

Relying on the foresight of the American

TnE EDITOR or ruE st. Louis Republic is
making purely unnecessary exhibition
Of his ears over the New Orleans affair.
Among other absurd things, in recent
article on the subject, lie says;
As long as the Sicllians killed each
other there was a complete willingness 10
''lef justice take its course
Now If there is one fact in this connec-
tion which has been absolutely estab-
lished, il is the fact that the New Orleans
Chief Of Police was assassinated because
he interfered in the sweet Sicilian
pastimo of throat-cutting and had
innugurated Il prosecution of the cut
ihroats. The Malta resented the effort of
the law and waylaid and butchered the
representative Of the law. They pro-
claimed their purpose to disregard and
defy the law and presented TO the conf
munity the alternative Of eyterminating
them or Of surrendering society 10 the
rule of conspiracy and murder. The edi-
tor Of the Rpabiic ought to put himself in
the way OF a collision with some informa'
lion.

lr Nusr Nor M supposed that the scheme
of the approaching patent centennial is
limited to mere social celebration aud
literary record. There is deeper and
more momentous side to il. The great
need is that of a medium and an oppor-
tunity by which inventors may exert
their influence in the molding of the
patent laws and the formation of the sys-
fem upon which those laws are admin
isterod. Hitherto II has been difficult IL
not impossible to bring such influences TO
bear. The public interest has suffered in
consequence, because individual interest
has been ignored. In the two-sided trans
action between the Government and the
inventor, only one party to the bargain
has been able TO speak. In the two-slded
transaction between the Government and
the people both have fallen short Of their
rights because the inycntors-the parties
best qualified to advise-have not been
taken into the consultation. II is, there
fore, a part and a most important part
of the programme of tie forthcoming
convention to consider the question of
permanent organization Of American
inventors. The domicll thereof will
doubtless be in Washington, though there
will be, Of course, active aud efficient
auxiliary branches in each of the States.
10 is expected that in this way the senti-
ment and purpose of the whole class of
inventors can be ascortained and, in adj
,lition, there will be organized and put
into effective operation a powerful work
ing force wherewith to inform the public
mind and affect public opinion. There
can be no doubt that the influence of such
AN institution will be most useful and
beneiicent The need Of it has been felt
already ON more occasions than we can
enumerate, and the knowledge that the
gathering in question will have as one of
its prime objects the remedy Of this need
is a matter for universal congratulation.
The celebration will occur on the sth, 9th
and 10th of next month 1t has already
aroused a deep and widespread interest.

watched with general solicitude and sym

therefore, they passed through various

Hon. S. c. Hyde. of Spokane, to Deliver
the Grafton of the Day. He will
Give Good Speech.

Matters for the Fourth Of July cele-
oratlon are making good headway. The
different committees have been at work
and the program is nearly arranged
The usual sunrise salute will be fred.
and the exercises of the day will com
mence with the grand parade at 1870
o'clock. 1t is probable that the different
trades of the town will be represented
in this.
After the parade there will be speak
ing by the orator of the day, Hon. L. c.
Hyde, and others. Mr.. Hyde is one of
the best orators in the west, and his
speech cannot fail to prove highly in
teresting.
For the afternoon a number of races.
games, etc, are on the program. Prizes
are offered to the winners, which will
stimulate interest in the sports. The
base ball game will be especially inter
esting, and the two mines are now get
ting their uniforms in order. The
flats" will wear flowing red suits, while
the cleans" will wear suits that Will be
a tight fit on their spare forms.
The parade of the plug uglies is al
ways a source of great merriment on the
Fourth, and the parade in Pullman will
be one of the most amusing. The
plugs will be augmented by a com
pany from the Darktown brigade.
Fireworks, rare and beautiful, will be
set off in the evening.
A Fourth of July without a dance is
hardly celebrated in accordance with
patriotic principles, therefore you can
dance all day and all night in Pullman.
The evening dance will be given by the
firemen
The Pullman kid band, which has be-
come famous throughout the entire
northwest, will play during the day.
Inc pand now has many new pieces,
having been under an efficient teacher
for the past three months.
To have the glorious time always ex-
pected on the Fourth you need not go
further than Pullman. Come and eel
citrate the advent of the new town, the
from the ashes of year
ago, with us. Pullman's hospitable
people will see that you have a good
time.
