her by dispute between them, recalled

cloak had been stolen from her rooms.
The woman went to a police station and
complained that she had been robbed,
and asserted that she suspected that

Thereupon a detective. without

He was accompanied by another detec-

Mr.. Curtelyou.

The report that President ROOSEVELT
has determined to make Mr.. CoRTELYoU
Secretary of the Treasury ia OF decided
interest. Secretary SHAW, it appears,
is to retire in June, and the announce
n1ent Of Mr.. RoosEvELT's intentions,
while not official, is generally accepted
as authentic,
We think the choice an excellent one
and believe 1t will be so considered by
the business men OF the country at large
We do not regard Mr.. CoRTELYoU as
trained financier or as a profound
student of political economy, but he pos
sesses in very marked degree what
we deem to be the very highest requisite
and qualification for the place; and that
is sound common sense.
He is a reticent, reserved and emil
nently level-headed gentleman, thor
oughly respected by all who have had
contact with him officially, and he en-
Joys in a remarkable degree the CONT
dence of the general public.

they came honestly by the goods that

charge could be brought successfully
against them; that the RoBINsoNs We're
not proper persons to be detained that

Accordingly, the RoBINsoNs were
honorably discharged from custody,
after spending five days in Jail: after
the police had looted their house; after
they had been treated and published as

They were told to come around TO the

popE APPEALS no AMERICA,
Asks Financial Aid 10 Take the Place OF
Missing European Revenues.


Mgr. Faloono In an appeal to the HER
archy of tho United states, dated WASH
ington. Jan. ?, tells them that the Pope
now relies on the Catholics of America
for financial aid This * the irst time In
the history OF the Church that such an
appeal has been made.
Il regret to state. says Mgr Falconio IN
hisappeal that Notwithstanding the gener-
Gus response OF the American people me
financial condition OF the Holy See - iar
from being prosperous or satisfactory,
The present sad state of some OF the most
prosperous nations Of Europe and the IN
creased demands on the funds Of the Church
are the principal causes OF the actual imam
cial situation of the Holy See, a situation
upon which our Holy Father looks with
alarm, because unless his children come
forward more liborally to his assistance
Notwithstanding the utmost economy prao-
tised in every direction, he can hardly meet
the eNigeuoies Of the vast administration
OF the Church, which extends throughout
the whole world.
Consequently. Hs Eminenoe the Car
dinal Secretary of State requests me 70
make known 10 all the ordinaries OF thr
United States the said financial difficulties,
in the hope that by their zeal those sources
OF revenue which have heretofore oeoi
forthcoming from France and Italy ana Oh
which at present in very large fneusui,o
the Holy See Ia deprived, may be Adequately
compensated.
Hence. besides the general yearly colleci,
ton, which is TO remain as heretofore anu
to be more earnestly encouraged, other
means are suggested which may prove
here in America as productive as they nave
been in some countries of Europe
These means, Mgr. Falconio suggests'
are the formation OF -Peters Pence Soce.
ties. the keeping Of Peters Pence Boxes
In churches and institutions, and other
pious devices which the piety OF the faith

no Need of reciprocity with Canada

No Need OF Reciprocity with Canada
Canada ia already so good customer
OF ours that all talk about the need Of
reciprocity TO hold or stimulate the de-
mand for our products from our northern
neighbors Is really a waste Of words.
We increased our exports to Canada
from n value of 1872 O00, 600 In 1873 to $751;
600, 900 in 1904, fiscal year, and when
the statistics for the calendar year are
made up they are likely to reach $780,
900 600. That is a pretty good showing,
with tariff conditions IA they are.
In 1873 the balance of trade was toward
five million dollars in favor of Canada
but for the next six years twas steadily
in our favor by from nearly four mil
lions to more than thirteen millions
yearly.
The next year, 1880 1t was against us
by about three and a half millions. and
in 1881 it was about even. In 1882 the
amount against us rose to more than
fourteen millions. In the following
three years 1t averaged about two mil
lions year in our favor.
1t was then that we unwlselv tried
reciprocity What was the result? We
went behind an average of nearly three
million a year for six years. Then we
found out that the reciprocity was a
better thing for Canada than for us. Our
minds have remained the same ever
since, and the conviction has been
strengthened by the increase OF our
yearly exports TO Canada from about
SAB, 900, 900 in 1892 to s13l ,O00,0o0 in 1904
and of our trade balance from eight
millions to twenty-five millions Of
dollars
This growth has been in spite Of efrorts
in the later years 10 turn the tide of
Canadian imports in favor of Great
Britain by tariff preferentials of from
1917 per cent. to the present British
preferential of SO 3 per cent. Instead of
hurting us, the tide has been still more
strongly in favor of the United States.
The long and the short of the matter
is that the Canadians jump over the
imaginary boundary line between their
Dominion and the United States, and
buy American goods because they pre-
fer them and get quicker deliveries-in
many cases of better qualities at lower
prices. When it comes TO buying goods
price, quality and delivery are more
potent factors than sentimental al
legiance.
Nor has Canada, considering her slow
growth and the fact that her population
is only one-siXteenth that of the United
States, with a correspondingly limited
power of production, any right TO
complain OF the volume OF her sales TO us
Starting from 1873, the record of those
sales increased from s37 900 600 TO
$50 900 900 in 1904.
Onthis side of the account Canada 8 best
year was 1882. when her sales to us were
So, 600 900 and the balance in her favor
more than sl4 900 900. Atno time during
the reciprocity years did she sell lis over
s42 900 900 a year, while since 1902 the
amount has not gone below siS, 600 900
What Canada really needs is not reci-
procity, but political relation OF a more
intimate character with the American
Union.
