No Chance for RECIPROCITY.

There viii be no Legislation by this con-
gress TO carry into effect the reciprocity
provision Of the Mckinley tariff act
Speaker Reed and Mr.. Mckinley have never
regarded that provision with favor. and as
they are all-powerful in the committee on
rules they will not grant any time for the
consideration of bills looking toward recip-
rocal trade. There are seventeen Of these
bills, and all have been reported favorably
by the committee on foreign relations.
On Saturday Speaker Reed was asked to
fix q time for the consideration Of some OF
these bills, and also TO state how many days
be would allow for their discussion and
passage. He said that the committee on
rules was willing for them to be considered
on that day and no other. But little prog
ress could be made with any one Of them
in one day. and, besides, the committee on
foreign relations was not ready to take any
one Of them up at once. 1t was perfectly
plain that Speaker Reed and Maj. McKin-
ley had decided that there should be no leg
islation as long as they were in control Of
the House in behalf Of reciprocal trade.
Doubtless the action of Speaker Reed and
Maj. Mckinley was the result of their hos
tility to Mr.. Blaine Neither of them likes
him, and both miss no opportunity to
thwart his plans Speaker Reed thinks he
stands in the way of his presidential aspi-
rstions, and Maj. Mckinley will never for
give Mr.. Blaine for forcing the reciprocal
provision into the Mckinley bill and for
saying that the bill would not provide a
bat nf
another barrel of pork, and would not
bring about an increase in the price of
either of these articles. That statement of
Mr.. Blaine's helped to defeat Maj. McKin-
ley's reelection to congress. He was con-
fronted by it all through his district during
the congressional campain last fall. 1t was
a statement that he could not answer to the
satisfaction of the far mers.
But does it not seem strange that men
who occupy responsible public positions and
who pretend to be statesmen permit their
personal grievances and their desire to
punish their enemies to influence their action
in important public matters-matters in
which the whole people are deeply con-
cerned9 II reciprocal trade would be of
benefit to the country 1t would seem as il
there ought to be no delay in establishing it.
And there is no doubt that this congress
thought it would be helpful to the people of
this country, because it has provided for it.
OF course Speaker Reed and Maj McKin-
ley will say that there were so many
other more important matters that time
could not be given to reciprocal trade meas
ures, but there are very few members of
congress who will accept that explanation.
Time could be found for considering reci~
procity il the speaker desired it to be found
He does not want Mr.. Blaine to have any
greater grievance than he has already, and,
therefore, with the aid of Messrs. Mckinley
and Cameron, the two other republicans on
the committee on rules, be placed an OBJ
structon In the way of reciprocity.

They Exchanged Compliments.

There is no longer any excuse for saying
that ex- President Cleveland and Gov. Hill
are OF friendly with each other. At the
dinner given by State Senator w. L.
Brown, at the Manhattan Club. New York,
Saturday night, an account OF which ap-
peared in our dispatches Sun
day, Mr.. Cleveland and Gov.
Hill met and had q long and ap-
parently interesting conversation. During
the evening Mr.. Cleveland made a little
speech. in which he spoke in very compli-
mentary terms OF Gov. Hill as the chief
executive Of New York. Gov. Hill also
made a speech, and he pointed TO Mr..
Cleveland's administration as q model Of
democratic government
Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Hill had not pre-
viously met at a social gathering since
June, 1889. The occasion was the great
dinner given by the Democratic club at
Fifth avenue hotel in honor of Mr.. Cleve-
lands retirement from the presidency. DUR
ing the last year or 80 there have appeared
many statements in the newspapers TO the
effect that their relations were not pleasant,
because they were rival candidates for the
democratic presidential nomination. 1t is
probable that there was little or no founde-
ton for these statements. Neither ex-
pressed enmity for the other, and doubtless
each has always had sincere respect
for the other. There were politicians,
however, who wanted to make it appear
that they were enemies. and that impress
sion became quite general throughout the
country. Now that they have met and
have publicly expressed friendship and re-
spect for each other the tongues Of gossipers
will be SIenced, 50 far as they are con-
cerned.
As amatter Of fact Gov. Hill has not now
and has never had any satisfactory reason
for thinking that he would be the next
presidential nominee of his party Out
side Of New York he has no political
strength, and as against Mr.. Cleveland it is
doubtful If he could get delegation from
that state to the national democratic con-
vention that would support him for
the presidential nomination. He may have
hoped that events would be so shaped that
he would get the nomination. He is in the
Senate now, however, and there he will
stay, if he lives, for the next six years. and
1t is probable that he will make q very good
senator-fully as good as Mr.. Evarts. He
may so increase his reputation that he will
be a prominent candidate for the
presidential nomination of his party
m 1896, but the chances are
that he is about as high up the political
ladder as he will ever get. He is a shrewd
politician and possesses much more than
ordinary ability, but he has not impressed
his party with the belief that it would be
advisable to nominate him for President.

Florida Slandered.

The New York Mail and Erpress-the
paper edited by Mr.. Shepard, whose voice
is always for WARRANTS to know if Florida
has seeded again. It bases this inquiry
upon dispatch which was published in the
New York Tribune the other day that a man
named G. L. Morrison postmaster at White
Springs. in that state. had been shot In the
head and run out OF the town by democrats,
and was at Jacksonville under the protec-
tion Of the United States court. Neither
the Tribune nor the Mail and Cypress
undertook to get the other side of the
story-there was undoubtedly another side,
because the story told in the Tribune's dis
patch is not a reasonable one-but each as
sumed that what it published was the truth,
and the Mail and Express proceeded to say
that there was no longer a republican
form of government in Florida" and that
the state was run by democratic CAUCUS.
II the truth were published it would
doubtless appear that there was no politics
whatever in the Morrison affair, whatever
it is, and that Morrison is contentious and
quarrelsome man who has got into difficulty
with some of the people Of White Springs.
1t is absolutely safe to say that the fact that
he is a republican has nothing whatever to
do with the trouble. Indeed, a republican
is as free in Florida to express his political
sentiments as in Massachusetts; and there is
no other state in which there is greater re-
speos for law and order. If the Tribune
and Mail and Express will take the trouble
TO get the facts about the Morrison matter
they will be forced to admit that they have
done Florida an injustice. But the truth is
not what they want.
