THE GREAT buncOmbe play of
the Dingley tariff bill, is about to
draw to close in the rejection Of
the various reciprC city treaties
negotiated by Commissioner Kas-
son with various countries of the
world. Ever since Mr.. Blaine ori
ginated the phrase some years ago,
reciprocity has been something for
the Republicans to conjure with In
the campaigns, and shelve after
these were over. During the Nc
Kinley campaign, the speeches OF
the Republican spell-binders pic
tured in glowing terms the beauties
of reciprocity, and promised that
all the Objectionable parts of high
tariff would be done away with by
means of it. Instead of giving our
markets to the world, we were to
them in securing trade with nations
who were willing to reciprocate.
1t was beautiful picture. But
when the time came to frame it In.
to law, there was hitch. Sections
were proposed that would lead to
real reciprocity; sections that
would give the President power to
make reductions when other coun.
tries made equivalent reductions;
sections that would have resulted
in q genuine extension of trade.
But all these were voted down, and
finally bogus article was fixed up
to deceive the people. The Presi-
dent appointed Mr.. Kasson, of
Ohio, as commissioner to negotiate
treaties, and to the CONSERVATION
of the Republicans, he went ahead
and did so, making treaties with
the British West Indies, with
France and a very fine treaty with
Argentina. But ever since these
were made public, immense press
ure has been brought to bear on
Congress to secure their rejection.
Every industry which had its pro-
tectiCn cut down, and none was
out more than 20 per cent, sent
delegates to Congress to oppose the
| treaties, Each was enamOred of
the principles of reciprocity and
each was perfectly willing to: cut
his neighbours protection TO secure
1t, but nobody was willing to sacri-
fee his own. The wooimen of Ohio
the fruit growers of California, the
tobacco men of Connecticut, are all
mastering in force. And there is
little doubt that the treaties will be
defeated.

"ON LAST Thursday DR.. N. H
Blosser received notice from the
Pension Department at Washing
ton that he had been appointed one
of the examining board of Hooking
County and DR.. III. G.. Campbell re-
ceived notice on the same day that
his service as examiner ceased and
was instructed to turn over all
books aud blanks at once to Dr.
Aplin, president of the board" The
above appeared in the Journal
Gazette of last week at the head of
the editorial page, and in double
loaded form. II did not appear as
local news as current events are
CHI onicled, but with some display
and prominence on editorial page,
as if it has some political signi-
flcance. Has it, Bro Mckay? Has
the turning down of DIR. Campbell
in the midst of his term "for cause"
and your glaring announcement of
same, any political significance
Could it be that Bro Mckay, who
has the only Republican paper in
Hooking County, is gloating over
the triumph of one party faction
over another? Is his spirited an
nouncement of the change in the
pension board, to be taken that he
wished it so, and was ring leader
in its accomplishment? Pray Bro
Mckay, is it news item or is it a
significant editorial.

Formidable Opposition.

Judge S. II. Bright, the senator
from the Hooking district, is the
latest candidate mentioned for con-
gress in the Eleventh district.
Judge Bright has not announ ced
his candidacy-may not even be
willing to consider the matter-but
his friends believe he would make
a good candidate and that he could
defeat General Grosvenor for the
Republican nomination in the dis
trict if anyone can. Judge Bright
In serving his FIRST term in the state
senate. He is not what one would
call a conspicuous man. He says
little, offers few bills, does not at
tempt to lead or bully the Other
members, but he is man of in
fiuence in the body, and when he
rises in his place on the floor he has
something to say which is perth
nent To the question. Judge Bright
is one of the most careful men in
the senate and always knows what
h, ia voting on, which is more than
can be said of all the Headers" of
that body.
There Is also rumor to the effect
that If II Is found that the old war
horse Grosvenor is ''up against it,"
in political way, aud cannot se-
cure a reno minatioD, the national
administration may take care of
him. Just what President McKin-
lev has to give the Sage of Athens
doth not appear at this time, but
most any old thing would offer a
good excu 9 for backing out of a
contest for denomination II he sees
that he cannot win. And General
Grosvenor has been known as a
man Of "figgers" for years. He
ought to know when he Is beaten.

whispers that have been going the
rounds for some days to the effect
that the administration feared to
have its banking policy brought to
the light of day, and intended to
throttle the investigation in its
birth. OF course, everyone knows
that there is something to investi-
gate. In the recent correspond
ence sent to Congress-, he included
two letters, one from ex-controller
Hepburn of the National City bank,
which asks that the bank rem ain a
public depository, because its list
of directors shows that il has
"great political claims, in view Of
what was done during the cam
paign last year," 1896. The other,
from President Stillman Of the
same bank, says that it would
"help matters in Wall street, If the
Secretary would defer the pay
ments to be made by the bank to
the government, on account of the
Central Pacific Railroad sale. The
trouble about these letters is not
that Secretary Gage received them
for man cannot help letters be
ing sent to him-but that he acted
in accordance with them. The de-
posits Ia the bank not only remain
ed, but were increased from few
thousands to some $17,U00,000, and
the Southern Pacific payments
were deferred. Add to this the
technical embezzlement, of when
the Secretary was undoubtedly
guilty in the custom house matter,
and it is pretty evident that there
is more than little to be investi.
gated.

will take warning. The law reads
as follows:

Are Times Better.

Yes, but why? Mckinley didn't
say, "open the factories and they
were opened"
william J. Bryan told us in 1896
that our volume Of money was In.
sufficient and the whole trust or
ganization poopooed the idea. Let
us figure. After McKinIey's elec-
tioD, for two years we had as hard
times in this country as ever oc-
Cured to our people. What caused
the change? One of the first things
Mckinley did was to coin money.
He began to do exactly what he
claimed to he ruinous before he
was elected. Every mint In the
United States was opened up, and
up to date have coined $l29,79l ,528.
SEC, 100000 of this coinage are "fifty
cent dollars" and the balance gold.
The next thing was the Cuban
war. Congress met and put $780,
100000 i'm the Presidents vest pock-
ct to be used Immediately, that had
been lying idle in the treasury of
the United States. What next?
Then Congress sold $25o,00O,000 of
bonds,the whole aggregrating $422, :
79l, 528, All this boarded money
locked in banks and safety vaults
suddenly went out among the peo-
pie. We are safe in calculating
that there are $l,O00,O00,000 more
in circulation now than in 1896.
Who was right? Bryan said /:
"Open the mints and then the fac
tories" s."-Ex.

On FRIDAY, a speech was made
in the Senate by Senator Hale,
which should persuade Great Brit
ain that she has not the sympathy
even of the United States in her
crusade against the Beers in South
Africa. Mr.. Hale said: 81 deny
that the American people are in
sympathy with the administration
of Great Britain in the war in
which it is engaged to stamp out
human liberty. deny that the
section of the English-speaking
race that lives on this continent
has to be carried on and tied to it's
chariot wheel of war, in the war
that is being waged against the re-
public in South Africa, when the
leader of the Conservative party in
the House of Commons stands be-
fore the world and asserts that he
must be met by some disclaimer
from this side. If the result of our
complications in the Philippines is
that we dare not speak for liberty
and struggling people anywhere,
that is the greatest demonstration
of what a calamitous thing the
Philippine war is. l do not, how
ever, think the time has come
when we are obliged to speak with
bated breath in favor of liberty
anywhere"
