WY IND HENLNESS

business is rather dullcr than usual for the sea-
son, many complain, and in some quarters it has
been much retarded during the past week by the
heavy snowstorms and the bad condition of coun-
try roads. But the distribution OF products seems
to improve on the whole, and at many Western
points the jobbing trade s considered the best
evrr known for the season, while at the
South the signs are more favorable. In spite of
tho extraordinary depression OF cotton the South
appears 10 I've getting out Of its difficulties the
marketing of enormous quantities even at low
prices las cleared away much indebtedness and
provided the means for large purchases. The
volume Of business is no longer smaller a; the
South than it was year ago, but for the latest
week reported lttlr larger, and San Francisco
is now the only great centre Of trade which reports
u decrease in payments through clearing houses,
the aggregate Of exchanges outside New-lork for
the month Of March thus far being about %

that foreign markets are more nearly supplied for

THE AGREEMENT WITH CANADA.

None Ct the agreements reached at the con-
ference between Mr.. Blaine and the Commission
ers representing Canada held in Washington last
February touched upon the important subject Of
tladc. The Canadians, to make record, pro-
nospd an arrangement on the fIee-fish- for-fIee-
fishing" line, but Of course they had no notion
that it would be acceded to, and it does not
seem to have been No much as noticed. The
only fishing arrangement which it is to our ad-
vantage to make with any British North Ameri-
can Province has been already made, so far as
we and the Provinces are concerned, with New
fCundland. Canada, as has often been pointed
out in The TRIBUNE, has nothing whatever to
cffer us in return for free market for fsh that
would be at all compensatory. She might sell
bait to our Gloucester men il Newfoundland were
sure 10 let her have il, but the only certain bait
SUNNY that either she or we can depend upon
is the supply Of Newfoundland. That we have
offered a valuable concession 20 obtain and the
concession is satisfactory to the Newfoundland
Government. II rests with England to say
whether Canada which has nothing to give us
and only selfish interest to serve in preventing
MS from obtaining fair terms with Newfound-
land. shall be permitted 10 succeed in scheme
so paltry and hurtful.
The conference at Washington was not, how
ever. without one excellent result. An agree
ment was reached looking to the demtatlon Of
the Alaskan boundary. The precise extent OF
our continental possessions along the Atlantic
Coast from the intersection Of the Goth degree
of north latitude with the 141st degree OF west
longitude south to the point at which the coast
reaches the $40 degree OF north latitude
has been throughout the period Of our owner
shin a subject of dispute Our rights here are
derived from Russia, and are indicated by the
Treaty of 1925 between that country and Great
Britain. 1t was there agreed that Russia'S con-

summit of the coastal mountain ~ TO the dis

THE JERSEY CITY CONTEST.

Never in political contest were the lines moro
SHARPLY drawn between righteousness and in
iouity than in the Mayoralty campaign which has
Just opened in Jersey City No intelligent citi-
zen capable of doing his own thinking can doubt
on which side to cast his influence and his vote.
The oorrupt and greedy Ring Of Democratic poll
ticians which has 50 long sucked the Likelihood
Of the city, regardless Of public opinion though
its leaders are did net dare TO run the risk or
another contest with OrcstcS Cleveland rs It's
candidate for Mayor; but. instead Of "pandcr-
inc to the bettor sentiment Of the community,
it has nominated man scarcely less obJec-
tionable. Allen i. McDcrmOtt is closely idcnti-
fed with the Jersey City ring, and has grown
wealthy from the numerous fat offices and rich
rerouisites which have been thrown in his way
Not only has he served the Ring politicians %
the best Of his ability, but he is the counsel Of
the gang Of toughs and backgnardS that make
rich profit out Of the alleged racing at that in
famous resort. Guttenburg. McDermott possesses
another qualification for the nomination he has
received in the fact that he is a close friend of
Governor Albeit, who will use all his influence
10 secure the formers election. Anticipating
this nomination, Albeit and McDcrm0tt St1lred
at the recent session Of the Legislature the pass
age of law frightening the Mayors term to
five years.
The momcntous character Of the coming cleo
ton is therefore apparent. The election Of the
Ring candidate will mean that for five years to
come there will be no opportunity for the people
10 free themselves from the incubus which OPP
presses them There is excellent reason to be-
leye that the Republicans and the enemies of
the Ring generally apprcciat" the situation. Al
all events, the Republicans have nominated an
excellent candidate, and are prepared - wage IN
aggressive campaign. Their candidate is Colonel
Peter +. Wanser. an able. strong and popular
man. on whom all the friends Of good municipal
government can and should heartily unite. Col
oncl WanSer is Il cIp1blc business man, Of small
means, and possesses the qualifications which will
make first class Mayer Not only is he worthy
Of tho cordial support of every Republican, but
there are multitude OF reasons why thousands
of Democrats should work and vote for him.
Every taxpayer has a personal interest in the
result Of this election. Ring triumph will
mean larger taxes. more Offices. reign of e3.
