Petitions Pro and Con Are
Received Relative to
New Treaty With
Canada

WASHINGTON. d. c.. Feb. 10
After spirited session OF two hours.
the House committee on ways and
means to-day failed to reach an agree
ment on the Canadian reciprocity
bill. The only obstacle was the word
ing of the wood pulp and print paper
clause. Two possible methods OF
framing this clause are open. The
first would provide that wood pulp
and print paper may come into the
United States free at once from the
private timber lands OF Canada, but
that American paper bound into Can
ada shall be subject TO the Canadian
duty. The second would retain the
American duty until all provincial ex-
port restrictions are removed. An
other meeting will be held to-mor-

THE PRACTICAL JOKE NUISANCE.

A fellow in Dubuque is practical
eoker. That is another and potter term
OF description than the plain blunt
English which better classifies that
kind of cattle.
This particular joker had couple Of
hundred men running to the auditors
office on a fake notification that they
pressing business. So for a few hours
busy men lost time from their business
and the official activity of a county
office was practically suspended while
Enough has been said about the
practical joker Something ought to be
done. There IS no more reason why a
sanart aleck should be permitted to
amusement then that fool should be
allowed to set fires for fun. If those
Dubuque men and the county auditor
had seen their duty and done it" the
line on the welts of right good horse
whipping.
A fool may be as dangerous and
much more annoying than a vicious
person. The practical Joker usually
verges sufficiently close to the fool TO
be dangerous. He is the creature whose
conception OF hilarity is to scare chill
dren as a ghost or put powder in IA
theirs pipe. About the only remedy for
his case Is club.

perpetuating, used to fan themselves
as best they could with the palm leaf
Of commerce, write letters and dry the
ink with sand, which was kept for that
purpose in receptacle on every sena-
tors desk, and when they talked in
hot weather gave mpressiveness to
their periods by wiping off their brows
with brilliant hued bandannas. The
bandanna helped many other states
men than the .Old Roman" from Ohio,
Allen G.. Thurman, to make reputa-
ton. But what would the venerable
Captain Bassett think il he should
come to life and see senator OF the
United States drying off his signature
with blotting paper instead OF genuine
hour glass sand. a presiding officer
sitting within grateful range of a
buzzing electric fan, or a six-day ora
tor like Senator La Toilette standing
between two evaporating machines
and talking against the July ther-
mometer without moistening hand
kerchief or whiting collar?
Where are those Innovations going
to stop? Some day the senate may so
far forget its obligations to the past
as to see that the time has come for
undermining not only it's outward OBJ

majority Of its members decide that

the length of it's own sessions and ap-
portion the time which it will give to
one piece of legislation or to another.
In short it ought to avail itself of all
the practical modern devices for econ

ting off the dreary waste of energy
which occurs under the present system
Of control by the minority and prac-
ticaly unlimited scope for obstruction

has passed the stage Of the palm leaf
fan and the waving bandanna and de-
liberation merely for the sake Of delib-

dent Sherman's sensible example to
heart it ought to go ahead and equip
itself with the previous question and
