Barking Up the Wrong Tree.

Certain political quidnunces in
Washington have jumped to the con-
clusion that the four Republican con-
gressmen from Michigan who have
failed of denomination have been re-
pudiated by their constituent, because
they opposed reciprocity with Cuba
in the interest of the beet sugar indus
try. The eastern newspapers have
taken up the cry vociferously and
point to the "straws in Michigan" as
showing the way the political blizzard
is setting throughout the West against
the opponents of reciprocity.
Ordinarily we would be pleased to
join in the cry and point the moral to
all those reactionaries who have re-
fused to recognize our duty to Cuba.
But the truth, told in our dispatch
from Lansing, Mich. knocks any spec
ial significance out of the failure Of
Congressman Aplin, Weeks, Sheldon
and n. c. Smith to secure renominu-
tons They were beaten on personal
grounds, and beet sugar or reciprocity
had nothing to do with their discom-
hture.-Chicago Record-Herald-

shot at the battle of Gettys-
burg has been claimed by
tNzS three regiments the Second
Wisconsin (of Iron Brigade),
the Eighty-fourth New York Cutters
brigade), and the Fifty-sixth Pennsyl-
vania. Attention was called to the
subject by the article on the Iron
Brigade, published recently in the
Milwaukee Sentinel, which contained
statement that it was the Second
Wisconsin which fired the first shot.
Adjutant Charles Richardson of E. B.
Wolcott post, who has looked up the
history of the battle thoroughly, is
convinced that his regiment opened
the battle.
Without a desire to rob the Iron
Brigade of any rightful laurels." said
Capt. Richardson recently, Il am
compelled to say that the first shot
did not come from that brigade, but
from the Second brigade of the First
division of the First army corps.
This honor was at one time claimed
by the Eighty-fourth New York of Cut
ler's brigade, but after listening to an
exhaustive argument made on the bat
tleground, in which both parties were
ably represented by surviving partici-
pants, the evidence favored the Fifty
sixth Pennsylvania, and it was accord
ed the honor. Gen. Cutler, a few
months after the battle of Gettysburg
deemed the events so well worthy of
note that he wrote to Gov. Curtin of
Pennsylvania setting forth the fact
that it was the Fifty-sixth Pennsyl-
vania that opened the battle of Gettys-
burg, and asked that he have it so
recorded in the archives of the COM
monwealth, as an act of justice to the
regiment. And so it has been done,
and this fact also appears on the base
of the monument erected by the
state of Pennsylvania on the battle
ground of Gettysburg in honor of
this regiment.
In a volume entitled New York at
Gettysburg" published by a commit
tee created by the act of the legisla-
ture of the state of New York of
which Gen. Daniel E. Sickles is
chairman, is this statement:
'Wadsworth division of the First
corps approached Gettysburg at $50
a. M, July 1, and Cutters brigade
moved rapidly across the fields. AS
the column comes in sight-the First
infantry on that historic field-it is
seen that the blue flag carried by
the leading regiment bears the coat
of arms of the Empire state. 1t is the
Seventy sixth New York infantry,
regiment well worthy of the historic
numerals that form its designation.
The leading brigade, Cutters, is form
ed across the Chambersburg pike,
deploying under a heavy artillery fire
with the Seventy sixth New York.

SETTLING CANADIAN LANDS.
Chicago Tribune Calls Attention to
New Situation,

Chicago Tribune Calls Attention to
New Situation.
Director of the Mint Roberts, who
has returned to Washington from a
visit to Iowa, says that in that state
and other western states there is a
rage for land speculation. There is
hardly a crossroads community in
Iowa, says Mr.. Roberts, which has not
organized a syndicate to operate in
lands in the Dakotas or Canada. To
this speculative fever Mr.. Roberts as
cribes the movement of money from
the east to the west in advance of the
time when money is usually sent for
the purpose of moving the crops.
Back of this speculative activity in
1ands-an activity which has often
been disastrous-lies the price of
wheat. There is good demand for
that cereal, which promises to con-
tinue. The Dakota lands which are
being sought after produce good
wheat. So does the land in the Can
adian northwest. The price of land in
the Dakotas is low compared with the
price of lands in Iowa The price of
the fine Canadian government lands is
extremely low. Hence the surprising
rush of farmers to the Canadian north
at high figure and go north. many of
them crossing the international boun-
dairy line 1t is estimated that %, O0e
acres of Canadian lands are sold TO
Americans every day. If aaies are
kept up at this rate and the Iands pur-
chased are brought under cultivation
1t will not be 30 long before Canada

MCKINLEY AND RECIPROCITY.

No Nearer Free-1rade Than When He
Framed the Tariff Act
President Mckinley was, as he said
himself, in favor of reciprocity that
would afford new markets for our
surplus agricultural and manufactured
products, without loss to the Ameri-
can laborer of a single days work that
he might otherwise procure" In his
last speech he declared in favor Of
sensible trade arrangements which
will not interrupt our home produc-
ton" That does not sound much like
free trade President Mckinley has
been grossly misrepresented on this
reciprocity question. The efforts of
the Democrats to try and make use OF
President McKinley's utterances to
make it appear that he favored any
step toward free trade will only react
on the Democrats.
Mr.. Mckinley did not even assert
anywhere that the duty in any case is
now too high. What he did say was
that if "perchance" there should be
any surplus duty then he was in favor
of using it for reciprocity purposes,
statement with which every sensible
man should agree. But he did not
say anywhere or to any person that
there were surplus duties.
In some cases, however, there may
be surplus duties, as, for instance, in
the case of hides. In that event the
duty on hides should be used for rec
iprOcity purposes, as President Nc
Kin1ey suggested, and it would be fool
ish to abandon that duty in favor of
South American countries, which i'm
pose duties on every dollars worth of
goods we send to them, without secur-
ing something in return. A great mis-
take was made in taking off the duty
on coffee instead of using it for recip-
rOcity purposes. AS a result, Brazil
to-day discriminates against certain
products of the United States and in
favor of such products coming from
other countries, because those coun-
tries have reduced their tariff on cof-
fee, whereas we buy pretty much all
of Brazirs crop without imposing any
duty whatever. Brazil gives the Ar
gentine Republic lower duty on flour
than is given the United States in re-
turn for a reduction of the Argentine
tariff on Brazilian coffee. And yet the
United States imposes no duty on cof-
fee, and buys about twenty times as
much from Brazil as does the Argen-
tine RepuOllc. Ihat SHOWS the Jolly
of the United States in not making use
of the duty on coffee for reciprocal
purposes.
No such mistake should be made in
the case of the duty on hides. The
United States imported in the last
fiscal year over $1O,OOO,0O0 worth Of
hides from South American countries
which admit nothing whatever from
the United States free of duty. Under
President McKinley's policy, if the
duty on hides is a surplus one, it
should be used for purposes of rec
iprocity. If it is not surplus duty it
should be retained. President McKin-
ley was no nearer the free trade theory
in his policy at the time of his death
than he was when he framed and
helped put through congress the Nc
Kinley tariff act-Philadelphia Press

Who Got the Money.

went to see his solicitor, who had the

glanced over the figures and. thinking
the charges were excessively heavy,
turned to his legal adviser in astonish-
ment. MY father lett his money to
me-not to you'll" he exclaimed.

Wise Words Of Caution.

The tariff has too many ramifica-
tions and is too far-reaching in its eff
feet to be made the football of purely
local judgment 1t is true, there are
not lacking "reformers" who feel that
they are inspired with wisdom from
above to lead the party through the
wilderness, but it is noticeable that
the reformers are seldom able to agree
among themselves. and that their fol-
lowers are of uncertain number and
allegiance The few of them who get
into a national convention are quickly
lost to view in the vast expanse of ma
tional interests which tower above
mere local Observation-Disclosures

! Hundred and Forty-seventh New York
along a ridge on the right of deep
railway cut, with the Eighty-fourth
New York and the Ninety-ffth New
York formed on the left. The First
infantry volley, as is meet and proper,
rang out Immediately from the rifles
of the Fifty-sixth Pennsylvania With
an echoing crash the Seventy-sixth
New York instantly followed with it's
fire."
Col. William Fox also says: The

.'The terrible losses of the Iron Brit
gade at Gettysburg no doubt show
stubborn fighting, but the fact re-
mains that there were Others My
regiment, the Seventy-sixth New
York, took into the fight on the morn
ing of the first day 34S officers and
men and lost 234 killed and wounded,
including the commanding officer
killed, in thirty minutes, these figures
being obtained from Colonel Fox's
book. This was a loss of only thir-
teen less than fell in the charge OF
the Light Brigade at Balaklava, but
with percentage more than two
times greater, being 74.2 per cent,
while the remnant of the One Hun
bred and Forty-seventh New York,
which retreated after it's half hours
fighting, numbered only seventy-nine
officers and men out of $50 taken into
the fight. The First Minnesota lost
215 killed and wounded, with not a
man missing out of a total of 262 en-
gagged, loss of 80 per cent. The
Twenty-sixth North Carolina, Con-
federate regiment at Gettysburg, lost
a trif1e over ~ per cent in killed and
wounded only, while with it's killed,
wounded and missing, it's loss was

were either killed or wounded.
