The very favorable vote in the lower
branch of Congress. in favor of the
reciprocity agreement with Canada,
was really foreshadowed by. the prev
ious vote of the Ways and Means
committee In the House, the vote
was 221 to 80. a majority of 129 in
favor of the agreement. OF the af-
firmatfve votes. 143 were given by
Democrats and rs by Republicans,
among them Mr.. Hill of this district,
while of the negative votes 81 were
given by Republicans and by Demo-
Gratis, the latter coming from Louis
lana. Minnesota and North Carolina
AS may be noted. Democrats furnished
the greater part of the affirmative
vote. and the agreement could not
have passed without their aid. A

The measure now goes to the Sem

r1ously. and in the Senate. by a vote
of q to 6. That is, only votes
against reciprocity with Canada in
the entire Legislature. What effect
this will have upon Senators Bulkeley
and Brandegee remains to be seen.
1t is a curious fact that the Con-
servatives of both Canada and Eng
land view the reciprocity agreement
as Anti-British. One Canadian says,
in substance. that it means free trade
eventually between Canada and the
United States. with a tariff wall
against the rest Of the world. and one
London journal interprets it as mean
ing the eventual annexation of Cam
ada by this country. Both statements

JEFFERSON CITY's PERIL.


Jefferson City may succeed in re-
tanning it's political distinction among
the cities of Missouri, but it has q
fight on its hands. The burning OF
the historic statehouse was the signal
for a new attempt to move the seat
of government to ST. Louis. The St
Louis papers are already saying that
Jefferson City is country town, tina;
its hotels, street-cars, etc., are sadly
behind the times, that its fire depart
ment also leaves much to be desired
and that in order to get to it the great
majority of Missourians have to make
roundabout railroad journeys via St
Louis or Kansas City.
