The Mckinley Law Is Dead.

The Mckinley tariff law which had
been in operation since October 3,
1880, practically four years, is dead on
the statute books and the new Demo-
cratic tariff bill, passed by the Fifty
third congress, became a law without
the signature of President Cleveland.
The constitutional period of 10 days
allowed the President to consider the
bill expired, and according to the
terms of the constitution the President
having failed TO return the bill to con-
gress with or without his approval it
became law. The placing of the bill
on the statute books ended the long
est and most remarkables struggles in
the parliamentary history of the gov
eminent. 1t was practically year ago
that the preparation of the new tariff
law was commenced.
Section II of the new tariff law re-
peals section 3 of the Mckinley act
under which the reciprocity treaties
were drawn.

Treaty with Great Britain.
Great Britain Plenses Lnnnn.

Japan at last has succeeded in an
object very dear to her people and for
which the government has striven
with all the arts of diplomacy for
many years. News has been received
that a new treaty has just been nego-
tiated between Japan and Great Brit
ain by the terms of which the claim
on extra territorial jurisdiction by the
latter is abandoned. Negotiations
looking TO the ratification of similar
treaties are going on between Japan
and the United States and other Euro
pean nations thaD Great Britain, and
it is assumed Chat they will now
speedily follow the example set by the
latter and fully recognize the right of
Japan TO administer justice in her ter
ritory. The Importance of Great
Britain's action lies in the fact that it
is really the recognition of Japan as a
fully civilized power. The assertion
of extra territorial jurisdiction has al
ways been confined to barbarous and
seIni-civilized countries.
