The Frnits of Raoinrocltv.

! The republicans are having a good deal to
say in their newspapers and on the stump
/ about the benefits Of the reciprocity feature
/ Of the Mckinley tariff. One would suppose
/ from their newspaper articles and speeches
that the re ,iprocity treaties which Presi-
/ dent Harrison has negotiated are proving a
great blessing to the country, particularly
% the farmers. No farmer, of course, can
think Of any particular way in which be has
been benefited, but if he is a good repub-
lican he probably believes what his party
papers tell him about the matter. II the
farmers and workiuRmen would do little
thinking on their own account they could
hardly help seeing that the republican
leaders are foolinR them.
In the current number OF the Forum,
Hon. William L. Wilson has something to
say about reciprocity. The following is an
extract from his article:
LET us see what the visible fruits Of this
great scheme Of reciprocity have been, and
whether those fruits justify all this official
noise. When we turn to the latest report
Of the bureau of statistics, containing a
summary statement OF the imports and ex-
ports OF the United States for the year end
ing June 30. 1892, and examine the tabular
statement OF trade with countries Win
which reciprocity treaties are i'll force We
read at its bottom: of countries NTH
lChich ne hare reciprocity treaties, Brazil
and cuba are the only countries ruth t0htch
our trade SholgS marked change ind
nearly ttUO-thirds of the 1Chole increase an
oar exports TO Brazil tUdS In articles not
affected by the commercial treaty."
From the foregoing it WILL be seen that
the benefit this country has derived from
reciprocity is 80 uncomfortable as not to be
worth noticing. What little increase there
is in trade due to reciprocity is in articles
IN which the farmers are not interested. II
the Republican party wanted to benefit the
farmers it would negotiate reciprocity
treaties with those countries which take the
surplus of our wheat, pork and cotton. But
there is no probability that there will be
reciprocity with those countries, because it
would interfere with our protected inter-
ests. The farmers and laborors should
study the results of the reciprocity treaties
Of which the republican leaders boast

The Eligibility of Candidates.

The matter of eligibility of candi-
dates to office is receiving more and
closer attention in this campaign
than has heretofore been custo-
mary. Notwithstanding the great age of
the constitutional declaration against
persons holding more than one Office under
the government at a time, new but not
always authoritative interpretations are be-
ing given it this year. Directors of the
national banks have sat in congress for
years, yet the chairman Of each Of the
national committees recently issued a cir
cular advising candidates for presi-
dental electors who are directors
of national banks to withdraw
from the tickets, on the ground that it
might be held that their directorships were
Offices under the government, and therefore
they were not eligible to the Offices OF pre4i-
Dental electors.
Gen. Isaac S. Catlin, of Brooklyn, an Off
Ger on the retired list Of the army. de-
c!ined nomination to congress because, In
the opinion of Attorney General Miller, he
still holds one office under the government
and is therefore not entitled to sit in the
HOule.
Gen. Sickles, who is also on the retired
list Of the army and draws q pension larger
than the salary of a congressman, and who
was recently nominated for congress in the
Tenth New York district, does not seem dis
posed to regard his being on the retired list
as disqualifying MIN, the Attorney Generals
opinion to the contrary notwithstanding.
He will, therefore, make the race for con-
gress and allow the proper authorities TO
decide the question of eligibility afterward
if anybody objects.
In connection with retired army officers
holding other offices, it is interesting to note
that Gen. Duane, aqueduct commissioner Of
New York, is on the retired list. His case,
| however, is hardly parallel with that of
Gen. Sickles, iuasmuch as his eligibility,
according to the New York Times, depended
upon an Interpretation of the intent of a
statute of the state.

That Bantam Roostsr.

Orrie L. Quimby in Portland Transcript.
What is the pride Of my neighbours boy,
His hearts delight and his fondest joy,
Supreme satisfaction, with no alloy?

What is the plague and the pest of my life,
Causeth heart burning and stirreth up strife,
Till the air with dark rumors of bloodshed Il
rife?
It's that same rooster.
What greets my ear at the dead OF the night
And drives sweet sleep from my eyelds quite.
And fills me with thou shts that / dare not

That pesky rooster!
He wakes me from dreams Of bliss supernal,
And makes me wish him in realms in ernal,
Where he might crow through years eternal,
That iendish roo iter!
Whenever take an afternoon nap
He'll get on the fence aud his wings he'll flap,
For my suferings he cares not a rap.
That lusty rooster.
He crows the livelong night think,
He does not stop to eat or drink,
He catches his breath as quick as a wink
And crows serenely.
When shall close my earthly career,

Died from too much chanticleer;"

He feel no remorse. not single tkroe
But he II pour out his soul in vigorous crow.

Penalons That Do Harm.

The loose and incompetent system Of pen
sion distribution now in vogue in Washing
ton is seriously affecting colored labor in
the counties along the southern coast where
colored regiments we're recruited during the
war. Pension agents circulate among the
colored men and, by hook or crook, make
out cases for them, forward the papers 70
Washington, and presently the pensions are
forthcoming. The result is that numbers Z
these pensioners, who have been able
bodied laborers for the last twenty-seven
years, aud up to the time of the receipt OF
their pensions, have quit work aud are hv-
ing on bounty supposed to be reserved for
soldiers partially or wholly iucapacitsted
for work by injuries received during the
war.
These pension agents find the coast coun-
ties of Carolina aud Georgia rich fields for
their work, and probably exact such fees as
will soon make them rich men. 1t IS said
that one agent from the pension bureau In
Washington, who was recently in Beaufort
county, said be thought great many more
pensions should be granted III that county
that as compared with the north 1t was not
getting its share Of pension grabs. he Will
probably do his best to see 10 1t that the
grab is all grabbed. and that Raum has his
million pensiousers booked by the end OF the
year, regardless Of any consideration of the
pensioners war service.
Parties in Washington, IL is said, employ
colored pension agents in this section to
work for them. These c5lored agents are
always on the hunt for a colored ex-soldier.
When one is found pension case ID made
for MIN at once, whether he stubbed his toe
at Hilton Head or suffered a legitimate
wound.
There Is no objection to pensioning de-
serving colored e1-soldiers. They are just
as much entitled 20 pension as their white
brethren Of the north. But no ex-soldIer,
white or black, ought TO have pension that
is not justly due him. The way pensions
are beng distributed in this section of the
country Is an injury to the colored people
and TO the community in which they live.

1t seems, says Nature, that the earth,

Observers OF Greenwich found that from
time to time, al considerable intervals, there
was an evening when the usual observations
for determining the collimation error of the

account OF the constant trembling Of the
surface of the mercury, which on such Occa-
sions continued until long past midnight
There are occasions when crowds Of the
poorer classes of London flock for amuse-
ment to Green ich park. A favorite pas
time with the young people, often prolonged
until after nightfall Is to Chamber to the
top Of the steep slopes of the hill on which
the observatory stands-in fact. to the pal

hands in twos or threes, to bolt precipitatelY

they usually arrive ''all in a heap HUI
dreds join in this sport on fine evenings and
the result, as shown by the behavior Of the
mercury, is to SET the whole of Flamsteed
hill in a tremor, which does not subside
until next morning many hours after the
people have left.

pendulum six ceutImers long, which sud-
denly began to display great agitation.
Fow, such a pendulum, when removed, from
its equilibrium position for an amplitude
equal to the observed, comes to rest in about
half an hour. In the present case the pend
ulum continued to oscilate till the after
noon. Nor did the character of the viora-
tions correspond to the gradually and regu-
larly diminishing oscillation OF "a pendulum
which had received single shock.
The pendulum is firmly fixed to big col
umn deeply founded in the basalt lava, so
as to give trustworthy indications of the
real movements of the ground. Perturbing
causes which would have kept the pend
ulum in agitation, such as wind, the passing
of people, carriages, etc, had not on that
day TO be taken into account.
think it rather improbable that second
airy and subsequent shocks, coming from
the same center as the first one, were the
cause OF the observed fact. A much more
probable explanation would be that the
whole hill on which the observatory is
built maintained during the whole time the
particular state of trembling produced by
the first shock.
