MORE RECIPROCITY.

The reciprocity arrangement
with France which goes into effect
tomorrow is splendid example Of
the practical working of the re.
ciprocity principle that was des-
pissed and decried, oy the demo-
crazy. Under the Dlngley act
arrangements are being made and
have been made on a wider scale
than under the Mckinley law.
The Republican tariff of 1890 was
the intelligent discrimination of
rates, between nations, which was
carried further in the act of 1897.
Under the French agreement
manufactures Of pork are to be ad-
mitted into Franco a. half the
present duty, which is to say, at
50 francs ($l0) per 100 kilos GOO
pounds). Lat year 131, 900 pounds
of such pork were exported to
France, but that amount was far
less than the quantity exported in
former years. In 1892, $4,000
pounds were sent to France.
A much more important conces-
sion i, in the m liter of lard, the
duty on which is r ,duccd by half.
Though the lard exported to
France was worth over 81, 900, 900
last year, the exports in previous
years were much larger. In 1891
the value of that export was near
ly 100000.
VIII n the duties are lowered the
provision industries of our large
cities, including St. Paul, ought to
get the benefit of an increased de-
mand for the favored articles.
The farmer should also get a better
price for his hogs, through the ex-
tension Of his market.
Other exports to France are al
so admitted at lower rates, in re-
turn for decreases in our tariff on
argols, brandies, spirits, wines
mot including champagnes) and
works of art. But we will not
worry over the admission of those
articles.-St. Paul Dispatch.

There will be no opposition to those state officials who seek re- election to a second term. They are: Dan w. Jones, governor; Alex. E. Hull, secretary of state, and Clay Sloan, auditor. None of the state officials who have served four years will be candidates for reelection. They are: Ransom Gulley, treasurer; E. B. Kins. worthy, attorney-general; J. F. Ritchie, commissioner of state lands; Junius Jordan. superintend. l. ent of public instruction; w. G. Vincenheller, commissioner of mines, manufactures and agricul- ture. The only one of the retiring officers who will be candidate for anything is Captain Ritchie, the present state land commissioner, who will run for state treasurer. The custom of giving a second term to acceptable state officials has been chrystalized into law of the party. as has the rule against any third term for same office. That fact is recognized by all sec
 Ond-termers, hence there are nc candidates for reelection among that class. Gazette.

The Democratic Executive com mittee acted wisely and we'll, at their meeting last Friday. Their proceedings which are published in full in this paper, show a straightforward, manly course, with the interest of no man, but of the party and ot the country up- permost in their minds. They have ordered a legalized primary election for May [, at which time delegates are to be chosen to a county convention to be holden on May l4th, at this city, etc.. thus consolidating and facilitating the whole matter in a business.like manner, and as it should be, that men who have business and work to do may not be hlndered nor
 'pestered." The committee also wisely rejected the "second pri- mary" idea which had been sug- gested by the State committee and advocated by some local democrats. The qualifications prescribed for those who may participate Tn the primary are broad and liberal, and fair to all candidates alike. In fact, we do nut now remem Der that any committee has ever heretofore performed their duties in such a thoroughly satisfactory and high. toned manner. We endorse their acts from start to finish, and com mend their labors. Long may they and the party they repre- sent, wave.

In the advertising columns of The Times to-day may be seen the pro- posed amendments to the State con stitution which were passed by the late legislature and are submitted to the voters of the state 10 be voted upon at the next general election. Amendment No. 4, if adopted, will permit the regula- tion of freight and passenger rates upon railroads, canals and turn bikes, and will no doubt create commission for that purpose. It IS measure in which the people are vitally interested and to which they are generally favorabIy ln- cliDed. It should be adopted. Amendment No. 5 is in the same llne of progress. Its adoption means that non residents may be required to sustain their just and equitable proportion of road inn provement. At the same time it lodges an option with each county as to whether or not such tax shall be levied, and the amount thereof, not exceeding three mills. It is just such feature as we have long advocated and desired, and which so many citizens have heartily endorsed for a number of years. The tax may be levied one year and not levied the next In other words, it allows local self government, and furnishes m cans of improving the highways, and this every farmer is particularly interested in. The amendment should be adopted, and we hope it's importance will bo impressed upon the minds of the voters to that extent ut least that they will vote either for it or against it, and not let it be defeated for want of action, as was the admendment submitted two years ago. All are agreed that the non- resident land owner should be reached in the matter of road improvement. He certainly'reaps the greatest benefits from good roads Then let us adopt this measure, and create fund with which the roads may be kept in Ordnr undor coptract
