Here's Your "Reciprocity."

What a wall of grief and despair ran
down the line of Republican papers,
from the New York Tribune to the St
Vicent New Era, when a ruthless Dsn-
ceratic administration knocked into pi
the fabric of reciprocity treaties which
Harrison had so painfully erected un
Ger the Blaine provisions of the McKin-
ley act. Blaine smashed his silk tile
to get reciprocity incorporated, end Will
son smashed reciprocity with calm in
difference. Out of one corner Of tn sir
mouths these walters belnoaned the in
auguration of Democratic free trade,
and out Of the other the dest, uction OF
Republican free trade. The twist of
mouth required to make these incon-
sistent means gave a ludicrors aspect
to what they meant to be q lugubrious

Two hours Of perfect harmony were spent
last evening in the quaint little meeting house

note was the fact that no applause was allow

IN st. Paul this year, no encOres were adj
mitted.
The programme had been arranged with
excellent TASTE The Concordia Singing So
ciety was present in full and gave two grand
cnorus numbers with Miss Nachtsheim car
rylng the solo parts. Prof. Harmsen of Min

their credit, that they were not aware
how rich contribution they ware maxi
ing 10 the gayety Of nations.
Restoration of reciprocity was the
twin rallying cry in '9S of restoration Of
protection. Both were restored. Rec
iprocity was singled out for unusual
distinction. Heretofore 1t had been un-
der the wing Of the state department
and our foreign ministers. Now 1t was
to have a special ambassador. minister
plenipo and high commissioner of It's
own. Mr.. Kasson became secretary Of
state for reciprocal relations with for
eign nations under the D1ng.ey reel
procdty law. After fourteen months of
incubation Kasson has Matched treaty
with France. AS our farmers and mill
ers were among those especially cod
died with promises Of what reciprocity
would do for them. as they were duly
Mortified with boyle stories of what
Democratic demolition of reciprocity
had done for them, they will turn to
the schedules of this treaty with espe-
Cial interest France had tolled our
flour heavily and had embargoed our
live and dressed meats, but KaSSon and
Dipgley and Mckinley would fix all
that.
So we scan the treaty to see what
bargains we have secured. We find
that the French tax on canned meats
is reduced a half, from 80 to Is francs,
Sc to SO, per 100 kilos, 220 pounds, and
manufactured and prepared pork
meats" from 100 to so francs, and lard
and it's compounds from 40 to 20 francs
per 100 kilos. Cattle and hogs and fresh
dressed meats and manufactured ana
prepared beef meats are still taboo,
while grains and flour are net men,
toned. The big Four" evidently were
around when this bargain was made,
and the oleo and cottolene interests
were not neglected, but we fail to find
that any opening has been made for
another bushel Of wheat or barrel OF
-four,
But. If our stock men ami grain grow
ers get nothing in the way Of a market
easier OF access, they will find ample
on French imports. They will get their
argols at only a 5 per cent tax, and
their brandies will come cheaper, while
their aesthetic tastes can be gratified
with paintings and statuary at a tax
cost of only Is per cent. If brandies are
too fierce for their stomachs or heads,
they can set still wines by paying 35
cents a gallon for the privilege of BRING
ing them home, but if they would get
hilarious on champagne they will have
to pay the same old rate. But then
they have their cheap argols, and is not
that alone worth all the fret and anx-
iety, the toll and turmoil Of the cam
paign for restoration"

More Politics in War.

Three majors of Minnesota regiments
are coming home from their camps to
correct a blunder made by the secre-
tary oftwar in his attempt to play war
and politics at the same time. They
are coming to open recruiting offices
to get volunteers enough to bring their
regiments up to the standard of the
army bill, 1872 men, or twelve COM
panies of 106 men each. When these
regiments were formed here it was I'M
derstood that this was to be the COM
pany strength, and each company came
into camp with that number or more.
Then came some directions from the
war secretary stating that the COM
panies were limited to eighSy-four men.
The task was put upon the examining
surgeons of rejecting enough men to
bring the companies down to that num-
Der. The remainder rejected were sent
home, the state paying the expense Of
bringing them here, keeping them while
here, sending them home again, and
paying them for their time while here.
Then came the call for $4,000 more
volunteers. Forthwith politics started
up again briskly There were more
captains and lieutenants, colonies, lieu
tenant colonies and majors, surgeons
and quarternasters to commission, and
a campaign coming on. But there fol-
lowed an intimation that a large por-
ton Of this call would be used to fill
the regiments already mustered in to
their full complement. Politics went
into the dumps. Explanations, ex-
iolx nd
fast. 1t was not the secretary's fault;
it was not the governors fault; it was
nobody's fault, as usual. But the eX-
PLANTATION dribbies out 1t comes in a
Forum article on "The Hull Army
Bill" by it's author. He says that his
bill was amended so as to provide that
the volunteer companies should con-
tain, "as far as practicable" the num-
Der Of men prescribed The governors
of several states discovered how that
"as far as practicable could be twist
ed to help them play their little games
of politics. They wanted to get in as
many regiments as possible, for that
meant more appointments, and that
meant more "infiooence.' by bring
ing the entire.force of the congressional
delegations to bear upon the war de-
partment," says Mr. Hull, they "se-
cured a rule that even sixty-five men
to a company was a compliance with
the law. The result is a much larger
number Of regiments than should have
been organized, and less efficiency"
Later it began to dawn upon the war
department that the country is actu-
ally engaged in war, and not in poll
tics. The two games could not be
played together with advantage to the
war game. So the rule was revoked,
$4,000 more men were called for-for it
would not do to consolidate and reduce
the number of regiments-and the ma
! jor part of the new recruits are to be
| sent out to fill up the regiments in the
field. The extra cost of all this can be
charged up to the war secretarys anx-
| iety to play the game Of war and poll
| ties at the same tine.
