THE Mckinley bill has put the Canadians
in sad plight. They have heretofore been
sending about ssOOOOO0O worth a year Of
their products TO our market The great
bulk of these are articles which come into
direct competition with the products of our
own farms. Canada turns in vain to her
sister Colonies this side of the Atlantic to
give her the market she has lost in the
United States. Jamaica, Newfoundland,
Barbados, Trinidad, and Guiana all turn a
deaf ear to her appeals. They would inf
nitely rather have reciprocity with the
United States than with Canada, and they
cannot have both. She gets no more COM
fort from England. The great business in
eggs which Canada has done with the United
States cannot be transferred to England,
because at the shortest the eggs will be one
month old when delivered in Liverpool or
London, and so the English prefer the
ifeshcr ones from Ireland, Germany, and
Holland. English brewers have prejudice
against the six-rowed barley raised in
Canada and viii have none but the two
rowed, which will not grow proftably in
Canada Meanwhile the emigration from
Canada this year Is greater than ever before,
and they are swarming into New England
TO take up the abandoned farms there, which
are more fertile than those in Quebec, and
have the advantages Of the benefits OF the
Mckinley bill.

A STRINGENT anti-free-pass bill is before
the Illinois Legislature. The fault with all
this kind of legislation ia that it deals with
symptoms and not with causes. Free passes
are one of the results of the txorb.tant rail-
road rates, and not a cause Of them. Feel
ing conscious all the time of the iniquity of
Aeecing the public by exOrbitant rates, the
railroad managers seek to stiGe complaint
by placing those who should lead in demand
ing reform under obligations. The remedy
should go to the root of the evil, by radi-
cal law reducing fares to reasonable basis.
Then railroad managers, having nothing to
gain by giving passes, would not give them

The owners of the coke ovens sOwed in
the wind and are reaping in the whirlwind.
Some years ago they had dispute as to wages
with their men, who were nearly all native
or naturalized Americans, and therefore
wanted enough to live on as American citi-
zens. The owners got rid of all these and
replaced them with pauper laborers i'm
ported from Hungary. For a while they
were delighted with the change. They paid
essthan they had been paying the Americans,
but rs this was two or three times az much
as the Huns received in their native land,
the latter were reiOiced, and sent for their
uncles and their brothers and their cousins
who came 10 the land of plenty by the ship
load. But brigandage fourishes in Hungary
almost as well rs in Italy, and it was not
long until the imported Huns began to think
there were easier ways Of making money
than putting in 10 or II hours day Of heavy
lifting and dragging for it. Then came
trouble, and it is now clear to the oven
owners that in the long run it would have
been cheaper to pay their old operators de-
cent wages. Public sympathy with them is
checked by the Remembrance that their
greed IS directly reponsibIe for the presence
in this country Of this horde Of halfsavage
aliens, who have no more idea Of American
citizenship than Sioux ghost-daucers.

EDUCATION OF THE BODY,

An Interesting Paper Read Before the
 American Institute of Instruction.
 BETHLEHEM, NH, July 9.-The morn ing's session of the American Institute of Instruction opened with devotional exercises, conducted by the Rev. w. N. Ackley, of Narragansett Pier, R. I.
 A paper on Esthetic Phy sical Culture Was read by c. Wesley Emerson, M. D. LID, President of the Emerson College of Oratory, Boston, Mass The paper was quite lengthy and was listened to with considerable interest. Among other things he said
 There were three guiding ideals in the education of the body. The prevailing ideal was that the exercise for physical culture should resemble, as far as pos sible, the movements of manual labor Some advocated physical culture from a military standpoint.
 The speaker viewed physical culture from a standpoint not antagonistic of these, but from an entirely different standpoint. He held that the education of the body by the same principles as the mind was educated, was the surest way to develope the highest degree of health, strength, suppleness, power, endurance and beauty. This was psycho-physical culture. and that was the system he ad- vocated.

Really, there is nothing worth looking at, and there are no trade secrets there.i The reason. why the firm interdicts visitors is because the presence of strangers in the room causes every sew- 1ng-woman to look up and it takes her attention off her work from one to hve minutes, Suppose each woman loses an average of two minutes. With one hundred and fifty women that means a loss to the firm of three hundred min utes, or five hours of time.

NO HOPE FOR STURGEON.
Professional Jealousy Has Caused Row
 Among His Doctors.

LONDON, July 9.-What is sorrow fully feared to be the deathbed of Charles Haddon Sturgeon is unhappily the occasion of an incident of profession al jealousy exactly similar to that which was witnessed at Lord Beaconsfeld's deathbed
 Dr. George Hugh Kidd, the famous Irish surgeon, practitioner and writer, who attended Lord Beaconsfield, is also in attendance on NIT. Sturgeon. He Is 8 man of very broad views, and is an ad- vocate of homeopathy as we'll as of the orthodox system of treatment. Conse- quently Sir Andrew Clark, MT. Glad stone's physician, who was summoned in consultation, has declined to attend, just as Sir William Jenner declined to give his services to Lord Beaconsfield for the same reason.
 MT. Sturgeon has often rallied from severe attacks, but never before has his vitality sunk so low as 1t is now. In his delirium he fancies that he is in the south of France, and calls upon those about him to take him home.
 This morning there was no signs of improvement, and MT. Sturgeon Is suf- fering extreme prostration.
