TnEaE is a wide differe nee Of opinion
in Canada concerning the probable effect
of the retaliatory proclamation of Presi-
dent Harrison imposing tolls upon goods
imported from Canada The Toronto
Globe CiberaD says:
An attempt TO strike this blow at Can
adian commerce is warranted neither by
the present attitude of our Ministers nor
by the whole course Of international
dealing with reference to canals
and waterways Canadas expendi-
ture under this head has been
vastly greater than that of her
neighbor She has borne far more than
her fair share of the cost of completing
the noble system of navigation from the
northwest TO the Atlantic With the
single exception of rebate, If that be an
exception, she has thrown her canals
open TO Americans and Canadians upon
equal terms, while her shippers have en-
joyed no benefit whatever from the
American state canals. It would be
folly TO deny that the step which is to be
taken will hurtRn important Canadian
interest; but to make any further con
cession in the face of this threat would
be too great a sacrifice of our dignity and
self-respect
While it is perfectly proper that all Of
our interests should be fully protected
and have full guarantees Of safety and
fairness in all their commercial relations
with Canada we submit that Candidate
Harrison is not the proper person at this
time if at any time TO decide upon so
/
during the Gillian imbroglio, his
sudden insult to Secretary Blaine
when the secretary was negotiating
concerning this very matter are evidences
of his mental and moral unfitness to deal
with questions Of foreign relations. He
is too irascible and narrow-minded even
if he were not candidate appealing to
the classes for votes and the personal
conductor Of his own campaign for
reelection. His proclamation against
Canada is liable to the suspicion of being
a compaign document as his Gillian war
message was a bid for the nomination at
Minneapolis. The Toronto Mail Qnde-
pendenO says:
No doubt an intimation from the
Ottawa Government that next year the
rebate wonld surely go determined the
president not to resort TO an extreme
policy. AS it is, the United States sim.
ply meets our toll with a like toll. AS
the American toll is low and does not
come into operation until the first of
next month, it viii not be a very serious
matter; and, as it will go off altogether
when our rebate ceases, as cease it will
at the end of this seeson, it need not
trouble us much The difficulty, in the
shape it has assumed is happily not
going TO lead to reprisals and to ill-feel-
ing.
This indicates that one party, at least,
in Canada is willing to consider the pro-
clamation as an act of buncombe that
it is an electioneering dodge and in that
light not important

John II. Rodney Says That Congressman
Causey Has no Desire to be Governor.
Several days ago the EVENING JOUR
NAL published a rumor to the effect
that Governor Reynolds and Con-
gresham Causey were working hand
in glove in political scheme
whereby the former was TO succeed
Senator Anthony Higgins, and the latter
to succeed Governor Reynolds The
idea was secuted at the time by this
paper.
Congressman Causey was in town yes
terday and spent part of the day with
John II. Rodney, the well-known
lawyer and Democrat. Knowing
this a reporter called upon Mr.. Rodney
today and asked him if he thought
there was anything in it, He said :,
81 can say with all positiveness that
Mr.. Causey has no such idea
or plan in contemplation. The
suggestion, as made, is utterly baseless
Mr. Causey's sole wish and ambition is
TO represent again the people of Delaware
in the house of representatives. Were
there no other difficulty in
the way, the fact that his
position in congress, to which he con
fidently expects to be elected, would pre-
vent such a scheme, would suffice to
show its absurdity | am authorized TO

The Water Commissioners Refuse to In

The Water Commissioners Refuse to In
crease Their Washington Bridge Offer.
Some time ago the board of water com
missioners offered to contribute the sum
of $40. 600 towards the building of a
bridge over the Brandywine at Broome
or Washington street At the meet
ing of the board last night
the Levy Court committee asked the
commissioners TO increase the offer, Civ
ing as the reason of their request, the
fact that it would cost at least S., COO
more TO build bridge heavy enough TO
carry the water pipes for the depart
ment.
The water commissioners were unani-
mously of the opinion that they could
not increase their offer They can put
pipes across the Brandywine for 1900
in their own way That would be
the actual cost and they reasoned that if
the bridge was not strong enough to
carry their 16-inch pipe, which would
make an additional weight of 200 pounds
per linear foot, it would not be worth the
building.

THE fact that Henry G. Turner, lawyer
and reformer, has been able TO elongate
one member of Blackstone's locomotive
appendages twice within short time is not
any imputation upon the intellectual de
partment Of our contemporary but rather
am indication of It's moral fexiblity. Mr.
Turner is shrewd. logical and
full Of all the fiery zeal OF
unselfsh reformation which begins as
far away from home as possible.
Blackstone is doubtless particularly SEN
sitive to logic, TO shrewdness and TO that
zeal for the reformation of something
and somebody which will not disturb any
little schemes of his own or Of those
with whom he is engaged TO redeem
Delaware The facts are Turner is in
tensely communicative and Sperry is
intensely receptive. They come together
as sweetly and naturally as the negative
and positive poles, and then of course
the sparks begin to scintillate. They
both apply themselves to great moral
reforms as impulsively as ducks jump

RECENT LITERATURE.

On the eve of his departure for Africa
TO prosecute his studies, Professor r. L..
Garner of Washington has given the
world book on ''the speech of mon
keys" II is a nicely bound and beauti-
fully printed volume issued in two parts.
by the publishing house of Charles l..
Webster & Co., New York Professor
Garner has become famous for his stud
les and his mastery of the speech of
monkeys. He maintains that he has dis
covered the meaning of the sounds they
utter and that tits distinct form of speech
perfectly Ineligible to the monkeys
themselves and therefore capable of
translation into the English language.
He has already discovered the articulate
sounds which express certain physical
wants between them, and, that being'ac-
complished, he feels confident that there
is no doubt of acquiring the entire mon
key speech. To do that to the best ad-
vantage he has gone 10 Africa. In put
ting forth this book giving the result of
his studies, Professor Garner says: in
prosecuting my studies, l have had no pre-
cedents TO guide me, no literature
to consult, and no landmarks by which
to steer my course | have, therefore
been compelled TO find my own means
suggest my own experiments, and solve
my own problems Not a line on this
subject is to be found in all the literature
Of the world and yet the results which
have obtained have far surpassed my
highest hopes. Thus in this entirely
new field for human thought, Mr. Garner
has blazed the way with a story Of events
which is as interesting as entertaining
and as instructive as an account of so
many human beings would have been.
"The Association Of Lincoln, written
by members of the military commission
which tried the conspirators, is
announced for October Many intensely
interesting facts hitherto unknown to
the general public, are brought TO light
in this volume. The book is edited by
General n. NJ Harris is illustrated, and
covers about 500 pages octave. The
