Chicago has taken up the question
of restitution and suffering in her midst
with commendable alacritY. The people
are thoroughly aroused, and the large
gum of s 400, 900 Or $500. coo will. if ncces-
sary, be raised and expended. Chicago'f
great energy has never been doubted,
bat 1t has sometimes seemed to lie ex'
bausted in the wrong direction. Its ofti-
zens are on the right track this time.
and thelz action deserves worldwide ap-
proyal.

Judging from Mr.. Dingley's utter
ances there is very small chance OF any
closer commercial Erelations between the
Unite States and the Dominion than ex-
ist at present, unless the Canadians are
willing to make a tariff that shall dig
oriminats against English goods and In
favor of America, and the English gov
eminent is willing for them to do So
Neither of these things however is likely
to happen. There is very strong feeling
Of loyalty to the British crown among
the Canadians which Of itself would be
likely to be suffi cient to deter them from
discriminating in our favor, but II that
should be overcome there would still be
the consent of the British government to
be obtained, and the chance Of obtaining
that would be exceedingly small. Real
reciprocity between this country and
Canada could hardly bss obtained short
of the adoption of the Scheme that was
championed by Mr.. sErastus Wiman,
which was the extension of the American
tariff so as to take In Canada as we'll as
the United States. That scheme, how
ever, found very little favor in Canada,
when Mr.. Wiman was advocating ii and
would find just as little now. 1t was
looked upon then by the Canadians as
almost tRntamount to annexation to this
country, and ::Mr. Wiman was accused
of disloyalty to Canada for proposing
it, But any less general reciprocity than
this is not likely to find much favor in
this country. A reciprocity in agricul-
tural products has been suggested, but
the American farmers living along the
border would very strenuously object to
that. Reciprocity in manufactured goods,
without discrimination against England,
would surely furnish q means. of getting
British goods into this country without
paying the duties, and would practically
abrogate our protective tariff as far as
England is concerned. There are certain
interests which would profit undoubted-
ly from even limited reciprocity with
Canada, but taking the country over
and having due regard to all its interests
no limited reciprocity that could be ar
ranged would be likely to be profitable
to IIg

The Fayergeather will case is not set
tied after all, and the colleges are still
likely to have to wait some time before

question now is the destroyed cod1clI

When this is settled we may expect some
of the astute lawyers who are engaged
in the case to discover some new point
fer controversy. When an estate yields
such fat fees as this One does we may re
sure the lawyers will keep 1t in litigation
as long as possible.

from Russian sources that treaty was
concluded in 1856 between Great Britain,
France and Sweden and Norway, by the
terms Of which the King of Sweden
bound himself not to grant to Russia
any concession of territory. not even q
coaling station or ice free harbor. In re-
turn for this pledge England and France
guaranteed the integrity of the territory
OF the Swedish kingdom. 1t is said that
the members of the Senate committee
contend that this compact makes Sweden
more or less dependent upon Great Brit
ain, and affords good ground for the re-
lection of King Oscar as final arbiter.

son advances.
The welcome intelligence was received
at Ironwood yesterday that the Metro
politan Iron 4 Land company, controll.
ing the Norrie group of mines, had
effected another sale Of 100000 tons OF
ore and that other sales ARE in process
Of negotiation which will keep the NINE

clean up their large stock Of surplus ore.
With this information came orders from
the headquarters Of the company Tor the
resumption OF night operations, which
means the doubling Of the force and the
unemployment OF 500 men.
The Dcssau company has abandoned
the exploration on the Harlow property
near Quinnesec, suspending operations

Others is being rewarded by the un-
covering OF some very Zine ore and there

IL is said that Mrs. McKenna, Of

upon which deposit of iron ore was
recently found near that city, refuses n
royalty of thirty-iive cents per ton and
asks forty cents. IL would seem that n
royalty Of thirty.fve cents mt present
