Reciprocity

Here is an editorial from the Bos-
ton Record that 1t would pay Vermont
farmers to consider sincerely.
THE actual facts regarding the
farmers and Canadian reciprocity
show what piece OF straw this bug
aboo Is:
Canada exported to all the world
last year only enough butter to give
two-thirds Of one ounce TO each per
son In the United States-not enough
for one American breakfast.
II all Canada's eggs came to Bos-
ton alon there would only be enough
to give each citizen Of this city one
egg every two years.

kinds show about one fftieth OF the
value OF the cereal crop OF the Uni.

Mrs. Vermilya is as stoica1 as

1t was discovered today that
Policeman Arthur Bisonette,

the time of his death.
The examination of the viscera
of Bisonette was completed to-
day. The experts who made the
analysis of the contents of the
dead policeman's organs have not

cause it did not save more money
for the state"
There is nothing peculiar nor ex-
traordinary about such thing save
that the Gazette's imagination has
been stretched considerably in its
over confident assertion that Repub-
lican editors are giving themselves
the writer's cramp telling all about
money saving by the Democrats. So
far as the Telegram has observed
the Republican editors, along with
countless thousands of citizens,
have treated the alleged efforts OF
the Democrats to save money as the
biggest joke of the season.
The Democrats have saved nc
money for the state. They cut the
salary OF a janitor or somebody,
pruned little here and there and
then turned around and did all
they possibly could do to put
through a policy Of retrogression
that will cost the people of the
state an incalculable sum. 1t was
a case of being penny wise and
pound foolish with comedy set
ting. No one seriously believes the
Democrats effected any real money
saving at Charleston, as the figures
do not show 1t.

holders, such sum Of money a.
carried by the decision OF the
United States supreme court, or an,
debt at all, is the contention Of
a great many of the state, although
through court procedure the high
court has arrived at that conclusion
West Virginia did not create the
debt and West Virginia did not au.
thorize the certificates TO be issued
by Virginia. Whether the state
will humIbly submit and pay the
amount remains to be seen, but the
Telegram doubts 1T very much.
AS West Virginia never assumed
any of the debt, failure to pay could
not be reputation. How payment
can be forced, according to the his
tory OF the. country, must yet be dis
closed.
Indeed, Virginia and its creditors
may find themselves very willing to
compromise after all.

COL MORROW
PASSES AWAY
Well Known Auctioneer Sue.

FETTaBUBG, Mar T--colonel
Joseph caldwell Morrow, OF 72s
North Negley avenue. East End,
one OF the country,s best known
land auctioneers, alter surviving
twelve days, twice during which
time he was given up as dying,
passed away yesterday in Passavaat
Hospital from the effects of an am
putation Of his left leg, near the hip
joint, which had been necesgitated
Iby gangrene and diabetes.
Mr.. Morrow's apparent recovery
from two crises had interested half
the medical fraternity OF Plttsburg
and DR.. Francis Luther, the attend
ing physician, had been the center
.of much attention from professional
men who made frequent inquiries
as TO the treatment which achieved
these RESULTS.
a STUD of his toe, causing 1T to
break, was the primary cause o:
Mr.. Morrow's death. Gangrene sci
in, owing to the dialoetic condition
Of his system. Three days after the
amUutation of his leg, symptoms 0:
shock appeared in the worst form.
Oxygen and powerful stimulants
were applied and he showed slight
improvement.
Col. Morrow was 50 years old.
He was the best known land auc-
.tioneer in the United States, and his
services were sought In every state
east OF the Mississippi river. Two
Of his sales were memorable. In
twenty minutes he sold the smith
block, Sixth and Lperty avenues,
for s1,117,OOO, in 1905, and he sold
the Pitts0urg and Western railroad
to the Baltimore and Ohio for $780,
100000.
When ten years old he began to-
work for his own support. When
sixteen he was elected teacher in
the district school, and was the first
principal of the Scottdale public
schools. At the end OF eight years
he retired IRON teaching and took
up the business of travelling auction
eer. For several years he had con-
troll of this business in Fayette and
Westmoreland counties, and then
his reputation extending, he was
called to New York, Ohio and
Texas to conduct large sales. The
demand for his services grew so
that in 1900 he found it necessary
to remove from Scottdale to Pitts
burg, He turned exclusively to
real estate selling. and nearly every
new town established east OF the
Mississippi river in /. the last 10
years had been sold by him.
Mr.. Morrow was interested in the
oil fields of West Virginia, and zinc
and lead mines in Missouri and had
real estate enterprises in Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, New York, virginia and
West Virginia.
