Canada wants reciprocity with the
United States mighty bad. Let her
remove her Odious restrictions on
American fishermen and then come
in at the back door where she belongs
and she may get a hearing. The i'm
pudence of that country in trying to
force reciprocity with the United
States when her determinations
against American fishermen have been
the most offensive of all that have
ever been attempted, should be prompt
ly rebuked at Washington. France is
treated with n consideration. and so
is every other foreign power, that is
utterly denied to Americans. Her
stealings of our fur-bearing animals in
Alaska waters are notorious. Cana
da thinks that the more she steals
from the United States and the more
unfriendly her attitude to our fisher
men the greater our obligations to
her. Reciprocity with her should
take the direction of paying her mean
ness back to her in her own coin.

1t is stated that the proposed re-
forms in Cuba have been submitted
to Secretary of State Olney and that
they meet his unqualified approval.
What in the name of all that is bless
ed has the secretary of the United
States to do with the reforms that
Spain proposes to make in Cuba /?
Just as well might Olney submit to
the Spanish minister the proposed ar
bitratiOn scheme and ask if that was
agreeable to Spain? Olney is secre-
tary for the United States to conduct
the business of the United States wit
foreign countries. What business of
the United States is it what the re-
forms in Cuba are to be, when Cuba
rejects them and takes up arms for
her absolute independence? Does
Olney expect to issue, by authority
of the president of the United States,
proclamation, declaring the proposed
reforms in Cuba satisfactory to the
United States, and that unless Cuba
accepts them the authority OF the
United States will be exerted to COM
pei their acceptance? If this is not
meant, what is?

NICARAGUA CANAL.

John Sherman is of the opinion that
there has been monkeying with the
Nicaragua canal long enough and that
Uncle Sam will in good time step in
and take that work in hand and put
it through. He says John Bull is not
putting any spokes In Nicaragua's
wheel and that the reports of that
character are groundless. The oppo-
nents of Nicaragua are going to push
the rights of the private promoters
of the canal, as an objection to the
government undertaking the work,
and intimate that there will be found
strong opposition to any change in
the present treaty. 1t does not mat
ter what is the point of objection, if
it is not one thing it is another, and
the friends of that measure will have
to put a quietus ON that opposition or
fail in their efforts. 1t may make
difference with q president and a sec
rotary of state in dead earnest in en-
deavOring to secure that valuable
waterway to the people and the gov
eminent. So far the bill has had no
backing in the administrative branch
of the government, at least while there
was Congress that supported the ad-
ministration. Mr.. Sherman's remarks
may be accepted as foreshadowing
the policy of the government of Mr..
Mckinley as to this matter, or it may
be that the old senator was only eX,
pressing his individual views as to a
policy that would be necessary in or
der to bring the canal construction
to focus. Whatever the motive, or
the knowledge, back Of Mr.. Sher-
mans declaration, it has stirred the
enemies of Nicaragua canal to the
depths as is evidenced by the express
sions it has called forth. 1t has also
put the country to thinking as to the
outcome of the effort, and whether it
might not be better for the govern
ment to really own that waterway
than to guarantee interest on the
bonds for construction and let the IT,
tie rest elsewhere. In any event it in
sures the pushing of the project to it's
defeat or its successful undertaking.
