number Of replies to the inquiries Of a
man who asks questions tending to show
that the Force bill is innocent Of force
and fraud, The Suns replies show in
the most startling manner that it is a
scheme to perpetuate the Republican
party. It does provide for force in
authorizing the appointment of deputy
marshals at the pay Of So day "to a
number limited only by the au-
dacity Of a partisan marshal and
partisan Chief Supervisor Of
the district in question to be in atten-
dance and prevent any obnoxious person
from attempting to vote. It does pro
vide for troops a thing which has been
often denied. Though the bill does not
mention bayonets, it authorizes the use
Of United States troops ito keep the
peace at the polls A man is a fool who
does not understand that this bill, which
appoints partisan officers for life, places
an appropriation Of money at their COM
mand which is permanent and cannot
be withdrawn by congress, clothes them
with authority to appoint scare ers to
make a house to house visitation at the
direction and in the pay of a partisan su.

his half-smoked cigar, he went down
the street whistling.
In the evening while the doctor was
seated In his comfortable library the
squire was ushered in. 1t was his Gus

his friend and discuss social and busi-

squire was in his usual good spirits,

smelled Of it approvingly and then as
IL recollecting himself put It back. The
squire continued talking attentively.
Pretty soon out came the cigar again.
This time he bit the end off, rolled IL
between bis fingers and placed it in his
mouth. He felt in his pocket for a
match while the doctor with difficulty
refrained from laughing outright. AS
the squire finished speaking he struck
light and had taken but two puffs when

Your Girl About It.
Resolve: That you will lead an up
right and noble life.
AS you will promptly break this reso-
luton it will ease any qualms of con-
science you may have at breaking any
others.
Resolve: That you will speak moth
ing but good of your friends.
In this way you will be able to learn
very shortly how very few friends you
have.
Resolve: That you will never drink
again.
Then for couple of weeks you can
tell your friends that you break your
good resolution merely to drink with
them, and they will feel very, very
happy.
Resolve: Not to marry.
II married already, point TO this reso-
luton at the end of the year with pride.
If female (which is TO be hoped you
are not), tell all the men about it.
Resolve: That you will be prudent
and economical during the entire year.
II you are not all will be well, for
you will probably have TO be economical
next year to make up for it,
Resolve: Not TO tell your girl of your
New Years resolutions.
She is probably a trusting young
thing and 1t will rend her heart to learn
that, after all, you are not actually d.
vine as she had supposed.

RETALIATIoN ON CANADA.

Our dispatches yesterday announced
that the president will this week transmit
a message to congress calling attention 10
the tolls imposed by the Canadian govern
ment on American vessels using the Well
and and St. Lawrence canals, and suggest
ing the propriety Of legislation imposing
similar tolls on Canadian vessels using the
Sault Ste. Marie canal.
The present situation Is as follows: The
treaty of Washington, ratified in 1870,
gave TO the subjects and vessels of each
country right TO receive in the canals
owned by the government of the other the
same privileges and 10 pay the same tolls
as were enjoyed and paid by the subjects
and vessels of the government owning
these canals.
The treaty of Washington, OF course,
does not affect the Erie canal, which q not
owned by the United States. The treaty
applies only to canals owned by each gov
eminent. The Ssult Ste. Marie canal, now
owned by the United States, was. when
the treaty of Washington WA sisned, the
