When the Dingley law was passed il
features With other nations whereby
products of our country chiefly used by
them should be admitted to their coun.
tries much below their ordinary tariff
d ties on such imports, and IN turf we
should admit their principal exports to
this country at specially reduced SEIZED
ules. This was for the encouragement
and building up of trade in those par
ticular lines in which both countries to
a~treaty respectively exce!led. It. was one
OF the chief features which specially
contributed to the passage of such a
ourdensome taxing bill as the Dingley
measure. Reciprsity, ever since sug-
gested by James G.. Blaine to carry
through the Mckinley tariff bill, has
been the shiboleth of republicans in
their presidential and tariff campaigns.
Since Biaine's time their national plat
forms have always declared for il, their
campaign orators to gull and lull the
people have shouted themselves hoarse
in its favor and what the re, ublicans
would DO for the country If they we're
only allowed to make a law with recip.
rosity in it. Well, they got the law and
the reciprosity feature though they tried
to make the latter as inapplicable as
possible; but the governments special
agent, Mr.. kassoD, has wrested authori
ty from it that was promised but not
included, and has made, since the law
was passed, some very excellent recip-
rocal treaties With a numb Der of countries.
Which would result very beneficially to
TINS country as a whole II

vas with France, others with the British
West Indian colonies, another with Ar.
gentlne, and SO Oh. And how AS each
one OF these treaties is presented to the
senate, republican hypocrisy is made
Haauiiest. Some member from the Sec.
tor particularly affected by the treaty
Jumps up and objects to its prvisions on
his special article Of home production:
the Californian against fruits from the
Indian colonies, the Connecticut man
against tobacco from anywhere, the Ohio |
man against wool from Argentine, and
the Michigan man against lumber from
Canada. Each Of these is willing that
the treaties should apply to everything
else but his particular case, but don't
touch his pet crop. In order to make
sure, however, that his pet industry will
not be c%heapened, he has to stand with
all the other DIRECTORS to block the rati. |
fioation OF all the treaties, and the pros-
pect is that all the excellent treaties will
fall to the ground. Such is the power
OF s%elfishness and greed. The interests
OF the whole country must be sacrifced:
the honesty and fidelity of a whole par.
ty turned into hypocrisy and deception
toward the people who gave them power.
Just because it's individual members oan-
not rise to the level Of statesmen. Such !

Dallas, Texas April 9.-Reports re-

fifty lives have been lost, including
those at Austin. Many localities where
lives probably were lost are isolated

GEN. ROBERTS SEVERELY CRITICISED.

Maseru. April THE Beers who
were massed last week near Ladybrand
TO the number OF 10000, after seizing
Thabancuh and the Modder river
waterworks, broke up into strong di-
visions, and are now raiding in the
south of the Free State, reoccupyng
small towns evacuated by the British.
The Boer policy seems to be to make
rapid movements with little transport,
looking to the English farms and
storekeepers freely for provisions. and
cutting communications of the British
forces.
General Brabant's colonials are now
mostly at Wepener. A squadron of Bra
bant's horse captured 400 rifles near
Wepener. His outuosts are reported to
be in touch with the Beers and a fight
AZ regarded as imminent.
Persistent reports are being circu-
lated that the Beers are preparing to
flank the British position at wepener
and thus secure entrance into Basuto-
land. Such attempt will be resisted by
the Basutoland government. which. Il
is believed, has made quiet prepara-
tions. The approach OF armies toward
Basutoland produces much excitement
among the natives.
