op,o.inp Its Country,s interests.

There is not an article OF the production and
manufacture Of foreign countries on the Mo
Kinley tariff would permit Secretary Blaine to
remove or reduce the duty in exchange for like
favors in treaties of reciprocity. All that he
could do would be to make the idle menace OF
restor ng the duties on tea coffee. sugar and
hides against such countries as will not grant
favors In trade with the United States.-The
Philadelphia Record, August, o.
This is ''tip'to foreigners that Sec
rotary Blaine is playing bluff game in
trying to get from them special favors
for American merchants. do not be
alarmed by the Mckinley law" the
Record says to foreign nations. ''Mr.
Blaine is only trying to brighten you in
to giving US advantages over others in
your markets in return for those you
enjoy in ours. But do rot mind him.
We will continue to buy all the goods
you bring US, and will charge you no
duty on them either, no matter how
high your tariff on our products may be.
The retaliatory provision Of the McKin-
ley law is dead letter. So do not let
this shrewd Yankee cajole you into
making any concessions to our mer-
chants.
This is the spirit of the mugwump's
opposition to reciprocity. No one
doubts or attempts to deny that our
people would be immensely benefited
if only our products received special
favors in foreign markets. But the
granting OF such favors is what the tar
iff ''reformer" is determined to fore
stall il he can. The success of recip-
rocity means the triumph of protection
in the next election So the ''reformer''
does not hesitate to espouse the cause
of the foreigner against what he knows
and confesses to be the interests of his
own country
The most diluted patriotism ought TO
suggest at least silence on the part OF
the American citizen while the recip-
rocity negotiations are in progress,
even if he believed all the Record says
to be true. To enter the lists against
the representatives of his own country
and to furnish comfort and counsel to
the for ,ign diplomats, with view of
deriving his fellow citizens of any
favors other nations may be disposed to
grant to them, is little short of treason
able. We know that this course is
taken with desire to help the party
OF free trade by rendering nugatory
perhaps the most important features OF
the Mckinley law. But to thus place
party above country and to fight the
battle OF aliens is little calculated to
win favor with patriotic citizens

CITY OF MEXICO, September S.-Much
Indignation has been caused here by
the publication in the United States
that the people of Mexico were about to
revolt against the Diaz regime. Presi-
dent Dlaz denied the rumors, but
begged to be excused from an inter.
view.
Senior Comancho, one of the foremost
citizens of Mexico. said that there was
absolutely no truth in the report.
The report coming by way of San
Francisco" said Senior ComanchO,
originated from disgruntled politi-
clans General Diaz devotes exclu-
sively his ability and remarkable &C
tivity and energy to the welfare of
Mexico, and the country improves every
day under his administration. There
are no revolutionary ideas in Mexico"

The Letter-Box Thief Making Every Eff
fort to Escape.
Mortimer Fox, the NALL thief, is using
law, but Chief Crowley is bound to have
him brought back here from Omaha if there
is any possible means of effecting that re-
suit.
Officer j. J. O'Sullivan was dispatched to
Omaha wit h instructions to bring Fox back
here, but that willy individual secured
release upon a habeas corpus writ before
Judge Estelle, and his attorney detied any
one to arrest him. Upon information, how
ever, sent from Chief Gro wiley, warrant
was Issued for his arrest TO appear before
the United States authorities.
The warrant was served despite nf the
threats of Fox attorney, and Sheriff BuZal,
becoming somewhat mixed as to his author
ity, took ths prisoner to the County Jail,
and next day was held for contempt of
court. The case was dismissed upon Fox
being turned over to tho United States
Marshal. who still holds him; but in the
meantime second set of rrquisition papers
has been forwarded to O'Sullivan Tor the
arrest of Fox if ne should chance to worm
out Of the clutches of the United States
authorities.
Chief Crowley says he does not care
whether FoX's return is with the United
States authorities or with Officer O'Sulli-
van. All he wants is his return. and he pro-
poses securing it. Fox has already served
t@rm for a similar otfensr, and his opera

the very next street she saw young man
approaching her, his hands in his pockets

the very picture of misery. And then

matter was explained to the firm where
Wilson had been employed they gladly re-
instated him in his old position, and the
senior partner remarking that the young
fellow had been an honorable fool to
shield the girl, dryly remarked that if he
ever thought of being a still bigger fool and
getting married there would be rise in his
