CLIPPINGS FROM OUR EXCHANGES.
CURRENT COMMENT.

The pith Of Mr.. John Charlton's
speech last night before the Boston
chamber OF commerce was that freer
trade with Canada must be soon sought
or postponed indefinitely. On one land
extreme prOtectiOnist feeling Is grow
ing in the Dominion; on the other tn
advocates Of imperial reciprocity are
making the erection Of a Chinese wall
against US the test Of British loyalty.
Patriotism and seilishness in frank al
lance threaten % make a combination
with waich il Will be impossible for Any
foreign nation. especially for ourselves,
to deal. All these considerations re-
min us that good reciprocal relations
with Canada may o 0 hardly be had
for the asking. The political situation,
too, may at any time become unfavor-
able for reasonable tariff negotiations.
Sir Wiltrid Llnrier has consistently
held the doctrine of a moderate pro-
tective tariff. and has looked favora-
bIv upon all reciprocity treaties. He
would welcome OVertures from WASH
ington looking 20 a freer exchange of
foodstuffs and raw materials for OuI
. manufactures. But it is by no means
certain that Sir Wilfrid, or his party
I even. Will long be in an position to ne
/ gOtiate treaties. The resignation OF

The Montgomery Advertiser states that the uniform text book bill, pre-. sented to the senate, was referred to the committee on finance and taxation as a compromise. The friends of the bill desired to have it referred to the committee on constitution and consti- tutional amendments, while the book trust desired a reference to the com mittee on education. The Advertiser does not state wherein the committee on finance and taxation was a compro. mise, contenting itself with the state. ment that leach of the contestants had conceded something, while neither had gained in whole what it had been fight ing for"
 This question of reference is an ef- fort to squelch the bill, when both sides and all sides should be willing to have 1t brought before the senate in way that would test its merits The senate has adopted without reason rule that requires a three-fifths vote
