Business is scarce in Judge Hazen's
court for day or two. Out of the six
assignments for yesterday not one of
them came to trial and the court had to
occupy itself with hearing matters which
did not require jury. To prevent a
repetition of the occurrence today the So
900 damage suit of Il. Williams, colored,
against the Topeka Paper company was
showed ahead on the docket and tried.
In July. 1894. one of the company's teams
ran away and into Williams and injured
him. The case has been tried once and
had a hung jury.

No POLITICS IN RECIPROCITY.

Now that the Investigations Of the
subcommittee on reciprocity with refer
ence to the adyisability OF restoring the
reciprocity treaties that were negotiated
BY Secretary Blaine have ended. 1t is not
too much to say that the work OF the
committee constitutes the most valuable
service rendered by the hfty-fourth con-
grsss. There was some doubt manifested
by politicians at first as to the advisa-
bility OF such an inquiry.
Some of the party managers were not
certain that the replies to questions ssnt
out by the committee would form the
kind Of campaign material wanted But
fortunately the committee refused TO
take narrow. partisan view Of the mat
ter, and the result is not only gratify-
ing to the party men but demonstrates
that there is not as much politics in the
reciprocity question as was at first
imagined.
The commendation Of the general prin-
ciple of reciprocity seems TO have come
with general unanimity from all sorts ef
manufacturers regardless Of party con-
siderations. There is probably no feat
urs of our tariff system. past or present.
that has come so near as reciprocity to
being a purely business matter.
A portion OF the information ELECTED
by the committee which is invested with
special significance is the showing OF the
effects OF reciprocity upon our dealings
with Cuba 1t is shown that under three
years OF reciprocity our trade with Cuba
reached the highest point ever touched,
showing an increase Of $4,000 in ex-
ports and sl4.oOo-oco in imports.
Upon the passage OF the Wilson bill, in
1894. which compelled the abrogation OF
the reciprocity treaty. Spain quickly re-
Nteliated by increasing the duty on flour
from 81 per 80 pounds to A75 per 80
pounds, causing a great falling of in the
export trade in that article.
The time has certainly arrived when
business men shall consider the subject
upon a strictly non-partisan political
basis. The practical application Of the
system has demonstrated the ability OF
reciprocity treaties TO extend and en-
large our foreign trade and TO render
more cordial our relations with for ign
countries. By the time another presi-
Dental campaign arrives it is highly
probable that the reciprocity system viii
have ceased to be regarded as a party
issue. but will have become a fixed
American policy which no party win
dare to abrogate.
