RECIPROCITY WORK.


TO NE T0rou8A ~ Chrtstmas.
Washington. Nov. ls.--Members OF the
Anglo american commission. Canada
ans and Americana. express the hope
| that the commission will complete its
labor before the Christmas holidays.
but they are not Jet willing to state
that a treaty will be framed covering
the many subjects Of difference between
the United States and Canada. Great
er progress has been made than is gen.
orally understood. and the rough draft
Of some Of the articles OF the proposed
treaty have been submitted by subcom-
mittees and tentatively approved.
These. however. cover the minor Ques-
tons. and the important subjects Of the
north Atlantic fisheries. reciprocity and
Boring sea remain open.
While the commission treats all state
ments regarding it, work as unauthor-
lied. yet 1t II understood by those ac-
quainted with it, work that the ques-
tons of border immigration, mining
rights, lake fisheries and the Alaskan
Canadian boundary have been found
less difficult OF solution than was ex-
pected and that basis OF agreement
on these subjects II In sight II not ac-
tualiy determined upon.
Technically. however. nothing is done
until the last act Of commission Is per-
formed. so that these and all other SUBJ
tects remain open until the end. As to
Bering eea, the view prevails on both
sides that . settlement will be reached.
and the presence Of two oncials-one q
Canadian and the other an American
1t Victoria. where an inventory Is max
ing Of the Canadian sealing fleet. leads
to the belief that the settlement may
be on the basis Of wipins out the In
dustry by giving the Canadians some
equivalent for the capital invested. A
recent official document places the
Boring sea feet at 20. but these are
small schooners, none Of them above
100 tons.
Reciprocity and the Atlantic fisheries
continue to be the most stubborn ques-
lions before the commission. On reel
procity the commissio ners do not ex-
press themselves in sanguine terms.
The subject II still before a subcom-
mittee. which. however. reports when
an agreement Ii reached and the full
commission approves what has been
done. There are 20 many articles on .
tariff schedule that the discussions
have not yet been productive Of many
agreements on specific articles or
groups CT articles.

a good, handsome majority, and pats
each candidate on the back with the
blessing Well done, good and faith
ful servant; thou hast been faithful
in S"lall things, | will make thee 4

utterly obliyious of the parallel OF a
promise OF the "Old Boy on the

with about as little qualification Of
ability for its fultillmcnt.

The Political Sunrise.

\ late di-ratch says that Chairman
Bqhr"c' "i the National Republican
Congress, pnal Committee comedies
that the present majority OF his party
OF - in the House, will he reduced
more than One-half, or IL he explicit
and quote his own figures, to barely
-, by the result OF the election next
week. 1t is 4 noted fact that the
change OF sentiment in this campaign
is similar, in many respects, to that
manifested in the Harrison-Cleveland
canvas of 1892, when the Democrats
practically won their fight in the
four weeks preceding election. If
Chairman Babcock is prepared to
conccde loss Of one-half the major.
ity held in the house the first fort
night OF active campaign, does it not
follow that it may and doubtless will
be utterly extinguished on the second
two remaining weeks OF effective labor?
In New York, and even in such Re-
publican strongholds as Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Michigan and Pennsyl-
vanilla, that party finds itself engaged
in a death-struggle over the feeling
engendered by corporation steals and
war scandals, The trend of sentiment
is steadily against the Republican
party, with little hope of a change.
And that, dear reader, is what has
kept the wires red-hot from the ma.
tional capital in vilifying Representa-
tive Lewis. The fact is fully realized
that a man of his ability requires
herculcan efforts to down, and they
have scrupled at no means to make his
downfall possible.

a Remunerative Industry.

Thousands OF dog-salmon are now
Hopping their way up the various
small streams putting into the Upper
Sound waters, and their decomposing
carcasses in the shadows can be esti-
mated by the tons. 1t is not a little
strange that orchardists and ranch
men generally have not yet adopted a
plan to utilize these countless num-
bers of dead fish as soil fertilizer when
it is we'll known by experiment and
computation that that the carcass of
a full grown dog salmon is worth five
times its weight in barnyard manure
when applied as a compost to lean and
sterile lands. Within a linear distance
of $50 feet, an observer recently
counted 300 dead dog-salmon strewed
along the shelving banks OF swollen
stream that could be forded with rub
Der boots. These rich deposits of
fertilizing matter were so near tide
water that number of tons could
easily have been loaded into boats in a
few hours to be conveyed wherever
desired.
Chinese gardeners have to some ex-
tent gathered these decaying fish
chopped them in pieces and scattered
them upon their lands, and in every
instance they have been richly repaid
for time and labor expended. Along
the streams putting into the estuaries
and inlets of the Atlantic Coast, wher-
ever there is ghost of chance for
migrating fish to seek spawning
grounds, this industry is vigorously
and proftably pursued by small far
mers and vegetable raisers.
From an economical standpoint OF
view, it is nothing less than crimi.
nal waste of raw material to allow
these myriads of oil-saturated car
casses to lie rotting upon the ground.
Ships are sent thousands CT miles
away to bring home guano, form of
fertilizing material whose principal
value is centered in the heterogeneous
principle it contains, and yet, de-
posted each year at our various doors
are ship loads Of an article little less
in value, weight for weight, than the
finest guano. Who will embark in
this industrial enterprise?

sive steps which led up to the con.
spiracy in this country to make a ma
ton of the people follow in the wake
of the despotic governments OF the old
world which bow to kingly preroga

challenged contradiction of the state
ments made, and as there were many
Republicans i'll the audience and they
were silent as clans, it. was, of course
clear that they acquiesced in the as
sertions, or at least had no proof thai
they were not true. Mr.. r. frequently

IT seems that the big-guns at Wash

turn to the House as the pop-gune
here fear his complete ascendency in
political matters. The order has gone
out to down him at all hazards, and
all the dirty work from the national
capital to Muckelteo is directed against
him. A man of his ability, who has
leaped at bound to the pinnacle of
fame, is man to be dreaded by such
leaders as Hanna, Roosevelt, Grosvenor
and Mckinley. Have you not noticed,
voter, that the other State candidates
have apparently dropped out of the
campaign, in the anxiety manifested
to down a man who is already power
in the nation? Can we afford to have
such man sacrificed?
