RETALIATION AGAINST CANADA.


The recent message of the President to
Congress puts an end to all hope of a
reciprocal arrangement between the
United States and Canada in the near fu-
ture. 1t can hardly be said that there
will be much disappointment, for people
conyersant with the matter have never
regarded the advances Of the Dominion
government as sincere, or as made for
any other purpose than for their effect
upon Canadian politics. The Conserva-
tive ministry understood perfectly well
that no measure of reciprocity no broader
than the one that was abrogated many
years ago would get a moments consid
Grafton from the government of the
United States, but prior to the last Do
minion election they had pledged them
selves to make an effort for closer COM
mercial relations between the two coun-
tries, and they felt compelled to make
feint at least in that direction. But even
had the ministry been sincerely disposed
to offer us fair measure of reciprocity
one that we should have been ready to
consider-it is exceedingly doubtful if
they could have done so, because such a
reciprocal arrangement would involve
discrimination on the part of Canada
against the manufactures of England
and in favor Of the manufactures of the
United States, and such an arrangement
as that England would not probably have
permitted. England allows her Deepen
dency to discriminate against her goods
in favor of its own products and manu-
features, but that is quite a different
thing from permitting it to discriminate
in favor of us. Such an arrangement
would undoubtedly be beneficial both to
Canada and the United States, but for
England to allow it would not fall much
short Of remuneration of her colony.
More serious than the failure to effect
a reciprocal arrangement is the alleged
violation of rights guaranteed us by
treaty on the part of Canada, by discrim-
mating against our vessels in the matter
of canal tolls. Canada does not admit
any such discrimination, but the docu-
ments submitted by the President make
out a pretty strong case against her, and
the suggestion of the President looking
to retaliation implies that the President
believes the charge well founded. Can
ada's conduct has been exceedingly ex-
asperating in many ways, and it is not to
be wondered at that there exists a strong
sentiment in favor of retaliatory meas
ures. But the interests of the two coun-
tries are SO interviewer in many ways
that unless policy of retaliation is care
fully guarded and restricted it may do
us, as well as Canada, much harm. If
the exclusion of Canadian railroads from
our territory should become a feature of
it New England and the Northwest would
suffer severely.

several reasons. In the first place his
nomination will push to the front and
keep there the issue between a tariff for
the protection of home industries and
tariff which entirely ignores them and
subjects the industrial population of the
country to the unrestricted competition
q the underpaid labor of Europe. That
is an issue on which the Republicans
have once won in a Presidential election,
and they are calmly confident that it will
prove safe reliance in the contest which
is to come. In the second place Mr..
Cleveland is weak in New York, without
which the Democrats cannot hope to
carry the election. Eight years ago he
carried the State by scratch, while four
years ago he lost it by $4,000. Within
two days every delegate from New York
to the convention which nominated him
has expressed over his own signature his
conviction that Cleveland cannot carry
that State this year, and most of these
delegates are astute politicians, men VINO
have led the Empire State Democracy
for many years past, men who know the
feelings of the voters of the Democratic
party. Their opinion, if sincere, must
necessarily be of great value, and of its
sincerity in this case there can be little
doubt, inasmuch as they have put them
selves on record in black and white in the
face and eyes of the public. Certainly
candidate who the most prominent lead
ers of his own party in the State of New
York say deliberately over their own sig
natures cannot carry that State-a State
which is essential to his election-need
have no terrors for the Republicans.

=
President Roberts of the Pennsylvania
Railroad is, as everybody knows. a great
stickler for discipline, and story is told
of him which is too good to keep. Some
time ago, while on his way to Harris
burg, the conductor of the train bowed
as he passed without asking to see his
ticket. On coming through the train
again Mr.. Roberts touched his arm and
said: "Why did you not ask for my
ticket?"
Rather abashed, the conductor replied
that he presumed he had his pass.
'Do you know who amp next asked
Mr.. Roberts.
Eyes SIR" replied the conductor, ''you
are the President of the road.'
Granted that l am. 1t is your duty
to allow nobody to ride over this road
without showing ticket. Always bear
that in mind"
The conductor promised to do so in
the future, and passed on. After the
next station had been passed he again
passed through the train for tickets, and
coming to MI. Roberts stopped and de-
manded to see his ticket.
''That's right, my man." said the
President, putting his hand in his breast
pocket. Then he grew red in the face,
and as he felt in pocket after pocket his
face became redder. He had left his pass
at home. The conductor never moved a
a muscle of his face, but stood with out
stretched hand waiting for the ticket.
Mr.. Roberts was too proud to back out
and finally asked in meek voice, Chow
much is the fare to Harrisburg?" On
being informed he paid over the money,
which the conductor took without a

1t will be remembered that some time
ago the East Maine Methodist Confer
ence and the Grand Lodge of Good Tenn
plars adopted resolutions severely COM
menting on the alleged action of Judge
Peters in certain Bangor liquor cases.
The PRESS at the time pointed out that
these bodies had been acting on rather
fimsy evidence and that careful in
vestigatien would show that injustice
had been done Judge Peters. Such in
vestigation has been made by the Rock
land District Ministerial Association with
the result which we predicted, and which
is expressed in the following resolutions:
Whereas, By vote of the East Maine Annual
Conference at it's last session, the editor of the
Minutes was given authority to abridge the
reports presented to the conference for the
Whereas, He having obtained reliable infor-
nation which led him to believe that the reso-
luton eondenning the 'action of Judge Peters
In his disposal of rum cases last February"
were unWarranted by the facts; and
Whereas, He obtained the consent of the
chairman of the temperance committee to elimi-
condition that the REPUTATION covered all
cases." and,
Whereas, After obtaining legal advice he
felt assured that the ''refutation did cover all
cases." therefore.
Resolved, First, that the editor was fully
justified in eliminating said resolution.
Resolved, Second. that the protest against
said action by the Bangor District Ministerial
Association, held at Brownville, June 1915
was unjust and evidently without a knowledge
of the facts.
We feel confident that an impartial and
unprecedented inquiry by the Good
Templars would lead them to conclu=
sion similar to the above.

The only two planks in the
Democratic platform which will
attract general attention are
the tariff plank and the silver plank. As
far as the former is concerned it can be
said that it speaks out distinctly and ex-
plicitly. 1t is not straddle as Mr..
Watterson said was the case with the
tariff plank of 1884, but plain and une-
quivocal declaration against protection
and in favor of tariff for revenue only.
With this plank in the platform and
Grover Cleveland mounted upon it the
party will be compelled to stand up and
make a square fight for the establishment
in this country of the British revenue
system. The silver plank was evidently
constructed with view to making it
possible for Mr.. Cleveland to stand upon
it without gross inconsistency and at the
same time to hurt the feelings of the sill
yer people as little as need be. 1t sue
ceeds perhaps as well as was possible
under the circumstances.

A CRAFTY SCHEME.
How Robert Bell Duped Several Confid-

Ian Roth

How Robert Bell Duped Several Contid-
ing sacramentans.
Bee, Jan. 3Oth
Several men were ahxiously inquiring at
the police station this morning concerning a
man named Robert Bell. who cut quite a
swell among the unemployed yesterday.
Dropping into Tom Aliens employment
Office Robert represented himself as a big
landowner, with domains at ATbuckle and
Willows, in C0lusa County. He wanted
three men at once and began negotiating
forthwith
A man named Miller was one Of those ap-
preached. Bell was to give him a pe7ma-
neut place at a Temuneratlye salary. Miller
has a wife and several children, and was
very glad Of his coed fortune in the pros
pect of a steady job and the corresponding
opportunity of providing those dependent
upon him with an ample living.
lie went home and communicated the
good news to his wife and then proceeded
to sell off his household effects al a sacrifice
to get money to 90 to CUlusa and install
himself at the Bell Ranch. To another man
Bell said that he needed man to drive an
eieht-mule team, and 50 the visionary
granger went about engaging help on every
side.
This morning the men were all ready to
90 10 COlusa, but Bell VAS nowhere 10 be
found. One Of tie men reported the mat
ter to the police, and telephone message
was sent to the Postmaster at ATbuckle, who
replied that no such man was known in that
section.
Officer Simmons found Bell and took him
into custody. All Bell would say was his
observation TO a reporter that "whlsky has
a good deal 10 do with a mans actions
sometimes" He added that If ne hadn't
been drinking he wouldn't have made such
a fool of himself.
He said that he had been working in the
NatOma vineyard.
In The case Of Miller the result Of Belps
scheming is peculiarly unfortunate. The
family are without furniture 10 resume
housekeeping, or means to get any, having
sold out at q sacrifice, as is always the case.
1t seems that there is no law known to the
authorities for Furnishing Bell.
