RECIPROCITY NORTHWARD.

If reciprocity with Canada is bound
to be so advantageous to New
England as some of our tariff reform
friends have been contending, they
ought to rejoice that the Republican
party is coming into power in the
United States.
Minister of Finance Fielding, Min
lister of Customs Patterson and Min
lister of Railways Blair of the Cana
dian government took so much in
to New York to watch the process
and ascertain the result as soon as
possible. They unite in declaring that
the Republican triumph is calculated
to promote the early conclusion of a
reciprocity agreement between the
United States and the Dominion.
These gentlemen are perfectly we'll
aware that the Democracy was OPP
posed to the entire principle of reci-
procity, and that the only hope of an
extension of that benefcient policy
lay in return of the Republicans to
power. Minister Fielding is SO en-
couraged by the outlook that he an
nounces that the Ottawa government
will send representatives to Washing
ton Immediately after the Inaugural
ton of Mr.. Mckinley to endeavor to
open reciprocity negotiations. Gun
like our predecessors in Office" says
Mr.. Fielding, ''we shall be in earnest
about it.''
Meanwhile, there is no way in which
the Canadian Ministers can better
manifest their good faith and pro-
mote the end they hope for than by
relaxing the vexatious policy which
their Tory predecessors pursued to-
ward New England fishermen visiting
the ports Of the maritime provinces.

In making an estimate of the rela-
tive strength of the sound money and
free silver parties in the next Senate,
it must be remembered that several
republican senators who have always
been called free silver men came
around to the st. Louis platform, and
can now be counted upon to help
along any bill calculated to restore to
us the good times which we had dur
ing Harrison's administration.

1t is said that the Republicans are
at last in a position to make an effeE-

the South. Able counsel will be en-
ployed to conduct criminal procedure
in all states where fragrant frauds are
charged, and it is believed that public
sentiment is in such condition that
the prosecutions would be successful
in teaching deserved lesson. This
is good news. 1t is about time that
an honest vote and fair count were
made possible the other side of Ma
son and DiXon's line.

A recent decision made by Chief
Justice Ide of Samoa in land owner
ship suit of certain Americans against
New Zealand claimants, is in favor of
the former. The award is in the
form of moneY;b the sum is SO large
that according to the general belief,
the New Zealanders will, instead of
paying it, give up the land. If this
should prove to be the result the
American ownership of land in Sa-
moa will equal that of the British. So
our interest in Samoa may be greater
than President Cleveland may fancy.

The Battle Is Over.

The battle is over. the fight it is done,
We rest on the laurels so worthily won.
We fought a good fight without sword. without
gun,
And the yictory's ours, for the battle is won:
We needed no weapons-come woe or come veal
But hearts that were loyal and true as tried steel,
With a purpose in view. to dare and to do
The duty of freemen. beneath the bright blue
OF heaven, that united on our efforts and
crowned
Them ali with success on the broad battle ground.
And now all that a people can ask meath the sun
viii be ours. we have faith, for the battle is
won.
Aye. a people uplifted from utter despair,
A people past hope, and past trust, as it were.
Seeming lost to all promises, burdened with care.
Now meet us. and greet us with banners of cheer,
And say with a thankfulness good to the ear
The struggle Is over; it's well to be here"
The question is settled, the fight il is done;
Come peace now, come plenty. the battle Is won,
And He. the Commander. in battle array,
Who led the good fight and is victor to-day,
We with Him. He with us. a Nation, will pray
For heavens best blessings on all. missing none
Now the struggle is over, the battle is won.
Men only who falsify truth when they say
Our land is divided by classes to-day
We rebuke; well they know that its God-given
way
Is open to all who with energy vie,
And with brain and with muscle pass OBJ
stacles by.
Away with such creatures. a curse to the land.
Where all men have a chance to meet reasons
demandi
We will prove it. and show them how it can be
done
Now the struggle is over. the battle is won.

The Outlook.

There are thousands of questions weigh
upon every sincere and conscientious
mind which cannot be settled by any
amount of thinking, but which in a way
settle themselves as one slowly but faith
fully does the duty which lies next. This
comes very near being the whole philosophy
of life, which is in no sense a settlement
of m questions, but which is always
primarily the doing of the thing that
presses to be done. He who is able to do
faithfully and heartily that which lies in
his hand is on the road to the settlement
of all the final questions He is working
his way through the experience which is
to be. from the spiritual side. one of the
great sources of personal illumination. To
learn to leave things with God, and to do
ones work as IL God could be trusted. rs
to gain the epo and full-heartedness
strength without anxiety. worry, or dis
traction.
