Our Trade with Canada.
New York Financier.

Il.
The growing Importance of our trade with
Canada is only beginning to be recognized
The latest bulletin issued by the Bureau of
Statistics, shows that for the year ending
June 30 last, our trade with Canada ex-
ceeced ia millions of dollars-only two
countries ranking higher as customers. Our
Canadian imports amounted to $31 GAP, 312,
and our exports.t to Canada $50, S54947. This
was an increase of over eight millions in
one year In other words $40 per cent. of
our trade with the world found Canadian
market, or originated in Canada. More
significant, however, are the Canadian
statistics. The total trade of the Dominion
In 1897 was little less than $50 millions
OF this the United States absorbed or
furnished $106 ,069 .516 as against $106, 500 $50
for the United Kingdom and $3661S.21O for
all other countries. The United States has
been a steady customer for Canadian prod
ucts, the trade since 1874 ranging from $27,-
867 900 in 1875, to a maximum of $50, 1851 in
1882. Canada. however, has been purchas-
ing more goods from the United States,
year by year. In 1874 she took rs millions;
in 1896, 1907 millions, and in 1898. as noted
114ls millions. Combined, the United States
and Canada did an export and import bust
ness of over 2,065 millions in 1897. With a
common incentive and the removal of pres
ent barriers. this trade would be enormous
ly increased and both countries benefited.

DUBLIN IRISH UNFORGIVING.
Municipal Council Will Not Permit
Erection of a. Gladstone Statue.

DUBLIN, July S.-The Municipal Council
of Dublin has refused to comply with re-
quest of the Gladstone Memorial Society for
its cooperation in erecting in Dublin a
statue commemorative of the life and serv-
ices of Mr.. Gladstone, similar to those
which the society will erect in London and
Edinburgh. Mr.. Sherlock, a member of the
Council, moved the following resolution
negativing the request:
Resolved, That the corporation of Dublin
is strongly of opinion that no statues should
be erected in Dublin in honor of any Eng
lishman until the Irish people have erected
q fitting one in memory of Charles Stewart
Parnell."
After several speeches, among them one
by Councillor Thornton, who said it could
heavy hand upon the Nationalists, the res
olution was adopted unanimously amid
cheering.

Alleged Incompetency.
Boston Advertiser.

bOSlOn ADVERTISER.
That story to the effect that tons of ice
have been lying at a Santiago wharf and
melting day by Gay through lack of trans
port facilities, while the men in camp near
Santiago were suffering severely because of
the lack of drinkable water, is not a pleas
ant story for Americans to read. These
things should not be forgotten easily. All
these instances of official neglect or incom-
potency should be examined andinvestigated
so thoroughly that the American people
will be able to understand just where the
blame lies. Public sentiment all over the
country is worked up over the astounding
revelations of the incompetency of the War
Department. It will not do to say that no.
body was to blame. The American people
will not be satisfied with any such verdict.

Does Not Desire to waste 1ime.

LONDON. Aug. 9-The Madrid CORE

cepted the terms, on receipt of the Ameri-
can explanations, shows that it does not
desire to waste time in dilatory procedure

the Cabinet is resolved to act scrupulousiy
in accordance with the letter and spirit of
the constitution, and the best authorities
disagree in the Interpretation of the con-
stitutional law 1t is believed that the
direct negotiations will occur in Paris"

THE United States must rest its case
in the Maine disaster on the findings
of its own Naval Board. An interna-
tional inquiry would be farce, as
Spain could command whatever evil
dence she wanted. 1t would cause
prolonged delay. and hence would be
solely to the advantage of Spain. We
must act in this matter on our evidence
and convictions.-St. Louis P0St-DiS-
patch:
Well, let US see about that. The
United States and Spain are both in
vestigating through boards of inquiry.
Surprising the reports of these boards
are conflicting? Will all the ships and
money and men in the world develop
the truth? This would be similar to
the parties to suit at law filing their
petition and answer, and then by ''fist
and skull' seeking to determine where
the right was. All Americans believe
that the Maine was destroyed through
Spanish treachery; would it not be
worth little delay to let ourselves
and the world E1aO1U the truthp That

strated, ''let slip the dogs of war, I'M

Deep sorrow has overshadowed a

its home and left a vacancy which can
never be filled. Sister Lula Hughes,
wife of Lawson Hughes, has gone from
this earth. We can see her pleasant
face no more here. but we trust to

where we will never part again. Sis
ter Lula died on the morning of Feb.
25th, 1898, at eleven o'clock and fifty
five minutes, at her home in Sabula,
Iron county, Mo-, aged q years. She
leaves a husband and three little bows
to mourn her loss. Her little infant
girl was buried at her early sickness.
She suffered great agony forty-seven
days but bore it with all patience and
said many comforting WORDS, and
prayed many earnest prayers for those
left behind. She joined the Seventh

The United States Supreme Court,
through Justice Harlan, declares that
the Nebraska law regulating railway
traffic rates for that State is contrary
to the Fourteenth Amendment, and
therefore unconstitutional, null and
void. The thread upon which the de-
cision is hung seems TO US lighter than
the strands of the SPIDERS web; but we
are no lawyer, and therefore of course
blind to the exquisite standings of Ian
guage statutory or fundamental. The
amendment referred to says, mo state
shall make or enforce any law which
shall abridge the privileges or immuni-
ties of citizens of the United States;
nor shall any state deprive any person
of life, liberty, or property, without
due process of law, nor deny to any
person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws" Judge Har-
Ian says a corporation is a 'person,
and that when the State of Nebraska
undertakes to scale down the exorbi-
tant rates charged by the railways
within its Jurisdiction, it deprives these
persons of their property without
due process of law! So easy is it for
the average Federal Judge to stretch
his protecting aegis over the tender
rights of persons" created by law!
But the persons of Gods manufacture
may be robbed-Gre robbed-right and
left, and there is no hope for them.
The farmer may have his grain confis-
Gated by its cost of transportation, and,
hereafter, his protests will be met with
a cool sarcastic ''what are you going
to do about it?" Since the creature
has by supreme dictum been declared
greater than it's creator the latter can
have no surety that it has any rights
which the former is bound to respect.
Them asses may kick, but the rowels
of their masters are deep in their fur
rOwed hides.

AMONG the victims of the disaster
ClGvelandism brought upon the party
in 1884 was w. T. Darlington, the
Democratic candidate for State Super
intendant of Schools. After gallant
and successful contest for the nomina-
ton he was, with the whole State
ticket, defeated at the polls in Novem-
Der. The REGISTER hopes that. under
the happier auspices of this year, he
will again receive the endorsement of
his party, and thus be made a bene-
ficiary of the victory sure to perch
upon Democracy's banner next fall.
To give him the nomination seems to
US an act of justice as well as recog-
milton of his sound Democracy and
splendid talents. He is Jeffersonian
Democrats believer in the ability of
the people to govern themselves in all
matters, financial and political, need
ing neither the aid of the Rothschllds
in the one instance, nor the superven-
ing power of the Federal Injunction in
the other. 1t is no newborn faith
with him, and we hope he may receive
the enthusiastic support of those who
stand by the enunciations of the Chi
cago platform.
