President Harrison on the Reciprocity
Policy.

EoHCy.
He put into practical, working shape
the idea of reciprocity as it became i'm
bedded in law. and has been rntrinr in
securing It's successful execution. He
and his administration entered PROMPTLY
and with energy and zeal upon the work
authorized by the reciprocity provision
of The tariff act of October |, 1890, and
within three months after It's approval
Brazil mad sIgnifed her willingness to
enter into reciprocity agreement,
which went into effect six mouths from
the date of the aet. Since That tire
.gtecilenss have been concluded, not
only with all the Central American
states, but with Spain, covering the
trade with Cuba and Porto Rico; with
the Dominican Republic; with Germa-
nv; with Great Britain, for the British
West Indies and British Guiana, and
with France, although the iast-named
agreement had not yet been proclaimed
wnen Whitelaw Reid, its negotiator, re-
/ turned and laid down his ttssloh.
These agreements have removed OBJ
stacles which had seriously hindered
and, in the case of some countries, pre-
vented the extension of the export
trade of the United States. This
| is especiallv true of the British and
| Spanish W est India colonies, where the
discrimination against this country wal
most harsh and burdensome. The ne
gotiation of the agreements has involved
not only vast amount OF labor IN ar
ranging details, but the consideration
and solution of many grave and perpleX'
| ing questions of a general nature. 1t Il
well known that the President has
evinced an active interest in these ditli
cult questions from the beginning. an.
! that fair and satisfactory solution o.
them in many cases has been due IN {
large degree to his tirmness ard saga
/ ctt,s ,...
In a speech made at indianapolis
| July 81, 1883, prior to his election al
| President, he used the following lang
uage, foreshadowing the reciprocity
I policy subsequently adopted:
But We do not mean to be content with
our own market. We should seek to pro
| mote closer and more friendly commercial
relations with the Central and South Amer
lean states We do not desire Il
dominate these neighboring governments
we 40 not desire to deal with them IN an.
| spirit of aggression. We deSlle th0S'
friendly. political, mental and commercla
! relations which shall promote their inter
ests equally with ours. We should no
longer foresO those commercial relations
and advantages which our geographical
relations suggest and make so desirable.

COMMlTTEE ON ORDINANCES.

Vitrificd Pipe Connections Defeated
The Ordinance on Gambling Still
Under Confederation other Ordi-
nances recommended.
The committee on ordinances met last
night to discuss large number of ordi-
nances. They recommended favorably the
proposed ordinance concerning the mutila-
ton of books and papers in the public IL
brary; for prohibiting award of contracts
for sewers, pavements, etc., to non-resi-
dent contractors; for prohibiting the men,
beers of the board of publiclworks from fur
nishing supplies to contractors or bonds
for them; to provide for the licensing of
bootblacks.
The latter ordinance, which was intro
duced by L. w. Cleaveland in the board of
councilmen, was championed last night by
Giles Potter, agent for the state board of
education; Superintendent Virgil G.. Cur
tbs, Truant Officer Sullivan, Professor
Brewer and Felix Chillingworth. At the
nance was changed 30 that the badges shall
be made free.
The petition of W. ]. Atwster to amend
section Z of the sewer ordinances to
the effect that either iron or vitrihed
pipes may be used in making sewer con-
nections with shouses, met with consider
able discussion. The consensus of the
speakers seemed to be that the vitrihed
pipes were likely to emit gases, and were
easily cracked. Among those who spoke
on the matter were many plumbers and
Professor Brewer Of Yale college.
Alderman Killers ordinance for the
prevention Of gamblings was referred to
the corporation counsel for his opinion on
the matter. This question will probably
como up before the committee next week
OF a. soon a. the corporation counsel can
b heard from.

BENEFITS TO BRIDGEPORT.
Results of the Four-Tracking Pro
ject in That City-A Big Contem

Results of the Four-Tracking Pro.
ject in That City-A Big Contem-
plated Improvement.
Bridgeport, June 23.-Prominent citi-
zens interested in the welfare of the city
say that the Consolidated road should be
aided in its plans to pass through this city
with elevated tracks. They claim it is the
best solution of the problem and that the
benefits the city will derive from the pro-
ject will more than repay it for the amount
it will be asked to pay.
"Mr. Wheeler's statement that the i'm
provements will cost more than the road
originally cost from New York to New Ha-
ven gives us an idea of the magnitude of
the undertaking." said a gentleman this
morning in discussing the matter. lit is
hard to believe the directors would consent
to the expenditure of so much money here,
and doubt if they would but for Messrs.
Wheeler and Bishop. These gentlemen
are residents of Bridgeport and large prop
erty owners here, and it is doubtless due
to their efforts that the railroad com pany
has consented to spend 30 much money in
these improvements.
A large amount of money will also be
spent upon the new drawbridge. The
work on this structure will cost fair for
tune, and it will be one of the most i'm
portant features of the new improvements
Bridgeport will then contain the first draw
bridge in the country having four tracks,
and it was no easy matter to decide upon
plans to regulate this problem.

High Prices the Rule and q Large
Crnn Evnacfpd

Crop Expected.
A Springfield dispatch says that great
gamble in the 1892 tobacco crop to be
grown in the Connecticut valley has al
ready set in. Reports to the New England
Homestead from several of the leading
tobacco-growing towns of Massachusetts
and Connecticut show that the planters
have already contracted to sell this years
crop at from twenty-five to thirty cents
pound. These are very high prices and
the fact that they are offered before the
plants are set out in the field, presage
much excitement in the tobacco market
later on.
As matter of fact such contracts are
all in favor of the buyer, as in most cases
they are 80 made that the buyer can back
out if either quality or price is against
him, while if these aae favorable he is so
situated as to insist on delivery of the
goods.
The 1891 crop has been cleaned up as
never before. The latest sale was five
cases of the choicest Havana seed, wrap
pers grown by Alvan Barden of Suffeld,
Conn.,, at the enormous price of go cents q
pound, the highest price paid to the grow
ers since the great gamble just before the
panic of 1875. Reports to the Homestead
indicate large increase in tobacco acre
age throughout the Connecticut and
Housatonic valleys this year and slight
increase in Lancaster and York counties,
Pennsylvania.

Morris Cove.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
If there were no more public spirit in
this land of ours than has recently been
manifested by some of the new residents
of Morris Cove, and if all acted out their
own lf-interest to such an extent that
six-inch pole was considered sufficient to
obstruct their vision, despite all public
good, it would be dubious state of
things, and there would certainly be very
few public Improvements made. Besides:
"He loveth transgression that loveth strife
and he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruc-
ton
It is all very nice to talk of the peace
and quiet of summer resorts, but If these
same people were obliged to lve-without
a span-year in and year out, say quar-
ter of q century, with no public convey
ance but a stage, they might be able to
glance around much larger pole than the
trolley system requires, and see some
good in electric oars, even if their refined
tastes were somewhat ruffied by the sight.

Yale Notes.

The seats for the Yale-Harvard COM
mencement baseball game next Tuesday
have nearly all been disposed of. At this
game, for the convenience of those who
may wish to watch the game from coaches
and carriages, the space about the diamond
has been divided up into sections for car
riages and sold for 81 apiece This will
obviate the necessity that parties have
previously experienced of taking position
about the grounds several hours before
the game begins.
The seats for the Glee club concert will
be auctioned off at tho Hyperion this af
ternoon at 1:30 O'Clock. Each bidder will
be allowed to purchase only ten seats. The
seats that remain after the auction will be
nut on sale at the box Office.
Yesterday workmen commenced to put
M the stand for the class day exercises on
Monday. The seats this time will be in
the rear of them near the treasury build
ing.
train for the boat race remains to be dis
posed Of among the Yale men.

DEMOCRATIC RATIFICATION.

The Monticello Club Parade the
Streets -Serenade Gov. Ingersoll-
Speeches of tho Club-Harmony 10
the Burden of Them.
The Monticello club held their grand
rally meeting last night. Quite . body of
their members, headed by the American
band, with throng of newsboys and
bootblacks in front of them, behind them,
and around them, marched from the club
house to Chapel, to Church, to Elm, to
Temple, and back to the club house.
In front of the mayors house the band
played "Hail to the Chief" but the chief
failed to appear. Then the procession
went to the house of Ex-Governor Inger-
soil and called upon him for speech. The
governor evidently had not taken his de-
feated candidacy to heart, for he made q
ringing speech for the nominees.
When the paraders returned to the club
house the street around was filled with en-
thus;astic democrats. Professor Baldwin
made speech from the porch of the clut
house eulogizing the nominee and paying
| especially warm tribute to Stevenson
He was followed by Senator Fox, who sale
| that the democrats could elect the stat,
officers this year as we'll as cast Connect
| cuts electoral vote for Cleveland
Ex-Mayor York and General E. E. Brad
ley also made speeches. A prominent fea
| ture in each address was the exhortatiol
to lay aside personal feelings and unite OF
the chosen leaders.
At the close of the speech-making tn
members of the club and their friend
staid for an informal meeting. Anon
those present were: Judge Morris, q
Governor Bowers, William Nicely, Thoma
Sullivan, John Moran, John ]. Brennan, C
T. Driscoll.

QUIET RESTORED

The Morris Cove Difficulty The
Railroad Company Will Not Relay
at Once the Tracks Pulled Up.
Superintendent Thompson was inter-
viewed last evening on the subject of the
amount of damage done in the tearing up
of the street railroad tracks Wednesday
night in front of the Messrs. Beechers'
property. He said that the damage done
to the tracks was not as great as first re-
ported and that the rails will probably
not be relaid at once. Mr.. L. Wheeler
Beecher was very careful to remove only
such track and poles as were located ex-
actly in front of his and his brothers
property.
The reports in several of the papers, he
said, were most grossly incorrect and ex-
aggerated. Mr.. Thompson did not leave
the city for Morris Cove until nearly 9
o'clock Wednesday evening and was not
present while the work of tearing up the
track was going on. Consequently he did
not order the men to stop, nor endeavor to
have them arrested. Neither was 1 wild
with rage. added the superintendent.
Yesterday afternoon at O'Clock having
completed all his plans Mr.. Thompson
found himself chasing deputy sheriffs. He
asked to be served with the injunction
writs. The sheriff was not there, but
Constable Warren, in whose possession the
papers were, was soon found and made
the necessary service.
Mr.. Thompson certainly has the laugh
on the deputy sheriffs who have been for
four days trying to find him and without
success, although he has in no way neg.
lected his work or made any special efforts
to avoid them.
The attitude of the railway company,
he says, is peaceful one, and they are
going right ahead with the construction of
the road, doing everything to assure its
speedy completion.
Already the track at Morris Cove has been
placed in proper condition and large por-
ton of it graded and filed ready for turf
ing. In front of the Pequot house the
turing on each side of and between the
tracks will be completed tomorrow, when
the rails will be practically invisible.
Without any urging Mr.. Thompson says
he is carrying out his promises to the peo-
pie at Morris Cove and already, he added,
much of the opposition that was supposed
to exist has entirely disappeared.
As to the "foreign Dapital coming.to New
Haven, he said the majority of the stock
of the road is owned In Connecticut. He
said that no perfected right Of way in tho
rear o. the cottages had ever been offered
