Carr. Mistake and Foult.'. Chance.

Young Pat Carr would probably have
given himself up Immediately after the
&C Mmission CT his gross crime last July
If he could have known how short term
he would have to serve for it. He would
then have been spared his fortnight of
hioing, with short rations; fears and serious
dscomforts. His experience now suggests
to Mr.. Dorsey Foultz the ACCESSIBILITY of
srrrendering himself without further de-
lay. Doubtless that elusive individual
would willingly entrust himself to the care
of the police if he could be guaranteed a
punishment measured upon the same scale
as that which has been applied to the Carr
case. Hiding is hard work. under the keen
eyes of the Washington police and 1t is
barely worth while for criminals to put
the mselvcs to such annoyanoes to avoid
slight punishments. The approach of win
ter should give this logic convincing force
to MIR. Foultz.

Canadian Reciprocity and Annexation
From he PhfJodelnbia prass


From the Philadelphia Press
The pending negotiations on Reciprocity
with Canada now in progress at Washing
ten, Will excite grave suspicion IL they are
permitted to end with any compromise or
&C ncession by this country shared by Great
Britain.
There is no reason why this country
Should make the position of Canada easier
while 1t retains its imperial connection.
Our duty is to make the colonial position
first arduous and then impossible. For Us,
concession to Canada is q blunder. The
present regulations as to Canadian trans
shipment should all be revoked No priv
ileges should be enjoyed by Canadian rail-
to impose again the differential duty On
foreign imports from Canada which the
Attorney General unwisely sophisticated
out of existence.
If Canada were cut off from the priv
iieges she now enjoys its railroads would
become bankrupt. No more privileges
Should be granted. be the concession what
1t may. unless exclusive. Nor should the
seals be made the basis of bargain or COM
promise. In their present plight they are
worth nothing for revenue. If Canada Is
not ready on general principles to protect
the seal herd let it go. Complete the
slaughter which Canada has begun and
free ourselves of a burden on which the
United States, thanks to Canadian poacn-
ing, has already spent more than the herd
is worth.

powers of the Dingley tariff are not
granted to the President to make conces-

The snari in Ohio.

That opposition to Mr.. Hanna exists
within the ranks of the Ohio republicans
Is plain enough. 1t was demonstrated at
the recent election I'm the state. Mr.. Han
ra's fortunes depended on the legislative
tickets. and the total vote for those tickets
was nearly twenty-five thousand less than
that for governor. But one may well re-
fuse to accept the stories that are now in
circulation as to particulars of that oppo-
sition. and to the present intentions of
prominent men with whom Mr.. Hanna has
not been in close accord. Governor Bush
nell. National Committeeman Kurtz. and
Senator Foraker all are made to figure in
the gossip.
Mr.. Kurtz last year aspred to the chair
n.anship Of the state committee. Mr.. Han
objected, and friend of Mr.. Hanna
chosen. 1t Is now charged that to
revenge himself on Mr.. Hanna. Mr.. Kurtz
devoted his energies all through the cam
paign against the legislative tickets of his
party, and even put himself in direct COM
mLnication with the democratic leaders in
order to make his work the more effective.
This is, in effect. to charge that Mr.. kurtZ
is utterly untrustworthy, and goes to sug-
gest that he was very properly not called
TO the responsible duty OF conducting the
Estate campaign. Mr.. Kurtz's population
of certain statements put into his mouth
that had a tendency to confirm this charge
is in defense of his character as a man.
Senator Foraker Is being still more
verely assailed. He was on the stump all
through the campaign. speaking for both
the state and legislative tickets. and.
he now declares. with the understanding
that the choosing of a republican iegisla-
ture would mean the success of Mr.. Hanna,
during all that time the senator's house
i'm Cincinnati was the rendezvous for all
the anu-Hanna republicans in the town.
In other words. Mr.. Foraker is represented
as being both revengeful and hypocritical.
The yarn that Governor Bushnell would
accept. and was even scheming to secure,
the senatorship for himself by means of
one part anti-Hanna republican. seems to
have been abandoned That was found to
be too rank for the credulity Of even the
present excited buckeye era.
Politics engenders some sharp rivalries
and fractional knives are often sent to the
grindstone to be put in the most effective
order. But the offenses with which Sena-
tor Foraker and Mr.. Kurtz are charged
would. IL sustained. completely destroy
both men. Mr.. Hanna could go down un-
der a charge of too much bossism. and
hope to rise again by mending his ways,
but treachery is something from which
no political leader ever does or ever
should. recover.

In New York and Ohio and measurably
in Kentucky the fractional fighting among
the republicans which waged so fierceiy
during the recent state campaigns still
keeps up. 1t is bound to be most cxpen-
sive activity. 1t has already. indeed, cost
that party very dearly. More than state
issues were involved in the recent contests.
and certainly more than state issues will be
involved in the contests of next year. The
elections for a new House of Representa-
tives will be strictly national in character
ard of far-reaching importance. There will
not be the slightest room for doubt as to
what will be involved in them. and those
who desire and expect to contribute further
to the cause of sound money cannot afford
to delay e calm survey of the situation.
There Is apparently in some quarters
disposition on the part of sound money
men tc take things easily for awhile. They
had persuaded themselves that this was an
.'ofY year." and So did not bestir themselves.
They are not so sure that even next years
contests are of great moment. considered In
connection with the next presidential race.
Suppose the silver men should carry the
next House and signalize their achievement
by passing free coinage bill at the first
session of the new House. And suppose
further that the Senate should take the bill
up and pass it. 1t could not become law.
The President would veto II. and that would
end it.
Those who reason in this way take a
very short-sighted and mistaken view Of
the question. This years contests were
important because the sound money forces
were the skirmish line of next years
battle. and next years battle will be of
greater Importance because the sound
money forces will then be on the skirmish
line of the general engagement which is to
come in 1900 There no '.off years., as
matters now stand. Every contest has its
secure the result of last years victory.
Any surrender of any advantage then
gained, any impairment, by fractional
lighting or other means. of the alliances
then effected for the preservation of the
public credit. is most serious mistake.
Ii is true that the President in the cir
cumstances mentioned. would stand be-
tween the country and silver mono
metalism- His veto could be depended
on to save the country temporarily from
the disasters of such legislation. But would
not disasters of great force proceed from
the mere sending of such bill to him by
Congress? Would not the public credit and
especially abroad. suffer materially simply
from such threat of silver monometal-
ism?
The control of the next House is of the
money cannot overestimate its Importance.

Trading Material for Reciprocity

Reciprocity does not mean exclusively
exchange of import privileges. 1t may be
fol nd that Canada can be compensated by
this country in other directions, and, in
deed. that she is already enjoying advan-
tages for which this country may well ask
further return. The railroad bonding priv
ilege is one. 1t Is of inestimable value to
Canada. The prosperity of her entire rail-
read system depends upon it. That it is
of anything like equal value to this country
Is not to be believed. In return for pro-
lorgation of that system this government
might we'll ask for a modification of some
items of the Canadian tariff or for other
concessions by the Dominion government.
There are matters enough at issue between
the two to furnish trading material for a
comprehensive scheme of reciprocity with
out working any hardship to either coun-
try.

"Unsati.factory" Corporal New.

1t would be unfair and unwarranted to
charge Captain Browne with malice in re-
ducing Corporal New to the ranks-New
having testified against Captain Lowering
before the recent court of inquiry. At the
same time it may be suggested that Captain
Browne would have given less handle to
unpleasant rumor II he had pursued the
usual course of bringing New before the
his stripes without offering any reason, ex-
cept the general one that New was "unsat-
isfactory' as g. corporal. As Captain
Browne chose the latter course he can
hardly be surprised IL the public as well as
the enlisted men at Fort Sheridan draws
unfiattering conclusions from 1t.
