Canada and the Hay-Bond Treaty

Canada notes the demise Of the over
amended Hay-Bond treaty with en-
tire complacency Her trade interests
in the island rival those OF the United
States and her political interest is more
or less interviewer with her economic
interests. Reciprocal trade relations
between Newfoundland and the United
States would be stumbling block in
the path Of political union between the
island and the Dominion.
The Toronto Globe admits that the
defeat of the treaty will come as a great
disappointment to the islanders. 1t
saws that the American idea of reci-
procity has been again shown to be to
give nothing and take all. From this
Canada reads new lesson, and the
Globe says that the colonial statesman
will never enter into game OF heads
| win, tails you lose with Uncle SAM,
let him be never 80 smart Reciprocity
with the United States has ever been
advanced in Newfoundland as a policy
preferable to entering the Dominion.
Consequently those Canadians who be-
lieve that the Ancient Colony can best
fulfil its destiny by rounding of con-
federation will not greatly regret the
result OF the latest negotiations at Wash
ineton.
One consequence OF the failure OF the
treaty is more than likely TO appear in a
stricter application of the Newfound-
land bait act, by which American fish
ermen will be the losers. Another is
likely to be witnessed in a diversion Of
trade to Canadian account in resentment
of the American attitude.
Yet the Senate is right in standing for
a full and free exercise of its treaty
making powers as provided for in the
Constitution.

A strong and virtuous Statesman


The remarks interjected by the Hon.
WILLIAM BoURRE COCHRAN into the
discussion in the House Of Representa-
tives OF the Naval Appropriation bill
ara instinct with his usual knowledge
and patriotism. What does farm hand
get? asks the Manhattan SOLOMON.
Thirty dollars a month and found. SAYS
the Hon. WILLIAM ALDEN SMITH OF
Michigan What does a hireling in the
navy get? Sixteen dollars a month. I
do not think a really good man would
enter the service in times Of peace, :
observes Mr.. COCHRAN.
He ia a good man himself and knows
that good man is out for what he
can get. Compare the earnings OF a
good man in the navy with those of a
good man who can milk trusts.
A long course in philanthropy has not
kept Mr. COCHRAN from drinking deep
at the wells OF American history:
Il was no, aware aha, this country ever ye,

Probably not another man in the

BL4CRLISTED DRUGGIST SUES.
Phuadelprian Wants Damages for whole
salers Refusal to Sell to Him.


CHICAGO, Feb. IA suit OF great i'm
portance to druggists il the United States,
and one OF the largest ever started under
the Sherman Antitrust law, Is being pushed
in the Federal Court by c. G. A. Loder a
druggist Of Philadelphia
Loder il represented in Chicago by A.
torney William Carlisle OF Philade phia.
who began proceedings against many
individual druggists and several unir-
corporated drug associations for 10000
damages.
Loder charges that he refused to become
party to the agreement among the retail
druggists 70 charge prices quoted By the
wholesalers and IA a result was listad a.
IAN aggressive cutter and thereby piscad
az a great disadvantage and expense IN
securing drugs to furnish TO his customers.
+. v Wooten, Chicago member OF the
National Association OF Retail Druggists
admitted that lists were compiled con-
tanning the names Of aggressive cutters
and sent 10 wholesale druggists through
out the United States. This system, Loder
asserts, resulted in refusal Of the wholesals
druggists in the combine TO furnish him
with drugs, his name being on the -aggres-
sive cutters list.
Examinations OF this character will he
held in a large number Of cities through
out the Unjted States. The sworn tesu-
mony Of the witnesses is to be used In the
trial OF the cage in Philadelphia.

we're not virtuous. For,
The strength and virtue OF man are the best
defence ofmanhood always the size OF the pistol
In his pocket
Unfortunately, nations cannot be az
strong and vrtuous as Mr.. COCHRAN. He
can involve himself II his own virtue
and not carry gun Nobody, not
even a trust, would dare to hold him
up; but eighty millions Of persons
like him are impossible
That is the reason why, in spite Of him
and his example, the United States must
have a strong navy. We can't all be
CocKRANs. The per capita allowance of
virtue and its rewards is too small.
