RECIPROCITY REVIEWED.

The review of the history Of the reci-
procity movement, which forms the SUBJ
ject of a special article by William E.
Curtis in this issue, recites facts which are
well known, but are in danger of being
forgotten or misrepresented. Mr.. Curtis
traces the movement from its inception
although he might properly date its origin
with Secretary Blaine's first step toward
conference of American republics in the
short Garfield administration, and carries
it up through the stupid rejection Of one
or two reciprocity treaties to the final
success, which is illustrated by the in.
creased trade totals of the present year.
Mr.. Curtis does not clalm-and no in
telligent man will do so-that the present
legislation establishes perfect and COM
plete system of reciprocal trade. What it
has done is to demonstrate the
ease with which trade relations
among the American nations can be i'm
proved by making reciprocal concessions
in tariff duties, to the advantage of each.
1t is also commencing to indicate what
will be more thoroughly demonstrated by
the fuller returns, the prosperity that can
be gained by encouraging the exchange
with other countries of staples which we
can produce and they cannot for those
which they can produce and we cannot.
One point is made which should be es-
pecially significant to business men and
manufacturers The opportunity being
opened for extending our markets, its i'm
provement must rest with the commercial
interests. They must study the needs
and tastes of the people to whom they are
to sell their goods. If they are not will
ing to take the trouble to do that, recipro-
cal trade will fail not from the fault of
the Government, but because our business
interests do not care for the foreign mar

WHAT BETTER COURSE >

The declaration Of New Jersey Judge,
with regard to grand jury which had
persistently refused to find indictments,
notwithstanding the instruction of the
Court, against certain notorious offenders,
that if they persisted in this refusal he
would receive no presentments at all from
them, awakens some adverse comment
One esteemed New York contemporary
raises the point that ga judge has no right
to say that he will receive no indictments
from a grand jury simply because they do
not find a particular indictment" Does
not this depend on the circumstances? If
the case is one which shows that grand
jury is persistently shielding offenders and
refusing to do its duty, is there any more
salutary or necessary exercise of the
Courts power than to put stop to the
power of such a corrupt body to do further
mischief?
The cotemporary from which We quote
thinks, that repeated refusal to indict a
certain class of law breakers is to be
taken as proof that a majority of the
people twould not tolerate the enforce
ment of the law i'm this particular case. ="
Is it then the end of government by law
that grand juries are to exercise the power
of nullifying the statutes? The people
elect representatives to enact laws and
officers to enforce them: but is the refusal
Of grand jury to perform its sworn duty

HIGHER PRICES FOR COAL.

THE big coal deal of last week is already
recognized as n move to squeeze more
money out of the consumers of coal.-Proui-

AN advance of 25 cents on ton of coal is
apt to become an advance OF So so ton by

combination is a conspiracy, and must be

IF the Hard Coal Trust puts up the price of
its product Congress must remove the duty

UUoUEsTIoNABLY its object is to control

coal; and this is matter of serious import
to every person who is obliged to use that

learn whether the administration has any
desire to enforce the antitrust law which
was passed with so much parade and has
since been permitted to drop into oblivion.

WHY KEEP HIM THERE !?

There is good deal of force in the
rather imperative suggestion of several
Eastern newspapers that the time has
come for the recall of Mr.. Egan from
Chile. Besides the very decided evidence
of the documents published in the Chilean
controversy that Mr. Egan went nigh to
hopelessly muddling the relations of the
two republics, it must be plain to every
one that he is not now doing the interests
of the United States any service there.
The only reason given for his retention
after Chile had requested his recall was
that it was not worth while to do so until
it was decided whether his return was to
be an indication of. the suspension of
diplomatic relations, or an earnest
of our friendly relations to Chile.
The Chilean Government promptly took
the course which left US no reason for
breaking off diplomatic relations; but that
is no reason for maintaining minister
there whose chief function will be to en-
phasize the fact that we forced Chile into
a corner.
1t is plain that the proper settlement of
further questions with Chile, as well as
the extension of our commercial inter-
course with that most enterprising of
South American republics, will be best
served by representative whose person.
ality will be agreeable to that Govern
ment The mere matter of self interest,
as we'll as the rules of international inter-
course, should suggest the transfer of Mr..
Egan to another post, and the sending in
his place of representative whose record
is free from dictatorial affiliations.

A DOG CARRIES DISEASE.
Scarlet Fever Spread In Massachusetts, by
Big Newfoundland.

Scarlet Fever Spread In Massachusetts by a
Big newfoundland.
BOSTON, Feb. Especial IAN instance of
the spread of scarlet fever by means of a
dogs travels is reported from the Maple
wood district, in Maiden. As the
story goes, three children of George
Harvey, of Maplewood, have re-
Gently died from the effects of scarlet
fever. Mr.. Harvey owned Newfoundland
dog, and when the fever broke out in the
family this dog was given to a neighbor
named Beatty two of whose children now
have the fever in its worst form.
1t is believed that the germs of the disease
were carried in the dogs hair and that the
Beatty children contracted the disease by
caressink the animal, which has since been
killed. Members OF several other families
in the neighborhood are also afflicted. AS
to the possibility of the spread of the
disease in question by the way noted it may
readily be seen that dog, and especially
one of the shaggy-coated Newfoundland
type, might easily get stray bacillus in its
hair if allowed the freedom ofthe sick room,
and would be apt to communicate it to any
body who fondled the animal in any way.

TOO MUCH FOR ONE MAN.

The fact that four of the six Secretaries
of the Treasury who have held Office dur
ing the past twelve years have broken
down lends great deal of weight to the
recent assertions that the weight of re-
sponsibility and multiplicity of duties at
taching to that position are greater than
the average strength of any one man.
The two men who held that position
without breaking down are eX-Secretaries
McCulloch and Fairchild. The former
held office under Arthur for less than five
months; the latter under Cleveland for
about two years. Folger, Manning and
Window died under the pressure of the
duties, and Secretary Foster, after less
than years service, has been forced to
seek relief in an ocean voyage. This
record gives decided point to the asser-
ton that the duties of the office should be
divided. The practical theory that be-
cause a man has ability to direct the finan-
cial affairs of the Government, and is
willing to undertake that immense labor,
therefore be must be worked to death,
cannot be too soon set aside in favor of a
theory that the work of every official
shall be kept within the limits of human
endurance
The division of duties in the Treasury
Department is made easy by the widely
varying nature of the work done under its
direction. So far as. the nature of the
work is concerned the Treasury could
easily be divided into three or four depart
ments. There is no more connection be-
tween the work Of collecting internal
revenue and that of collecting customs
duties, than between the work of manag-
ing the postal business of the country and
either or both of them. The negotiation
and payment of public loans. together
with the issuing and redemption of cur
rency is equally distinct; while the con-
struction and custody of public buildings
could be given to the Postoffice Depart
ment just as well as to the Treasury. 1t
would be comparatively simple matter
for any one with practical knowledge of
the amount of work to make two depart
ments out of the Treasury, with the func-
tiOns of each entirely distinct, and on a
basis which would increase the effective
ness of the public service.
Beyond this it may be peril inent to re-
mark that when the point is reached
where the Secretary of the Treasury can
cast aside all the work of considering his
department as a political as well as finan-
cial machine, he will be relieved of as
much work as would be taken away by
the division of his department
