It 18 nut true, :is claimed by the; Toron to tJloln; that the idea of unrestricted commercial reciprocity between the ITiit cd States and Canada has the approval of "the best elements" of the two coun tries. That such an arrangement would be decidedly advantageous to Canada, it is very easy to understand; and the leaders of Canadian public opinion have jood reason, therefore, to favor it. Hut, on the oilier hand, it would just as cer tainly operate to the pronounced disad vantage of the United States; and that condemns it in the eyes of all the people of this country who are opposed to the surrender of our tuaikets to foreign pro duets and traders. In any view of the case, the preponderance of yaiii would j;o to Canada; ami through Canada to England. We might possibly sell a few more manufactured good; but in re turn It would be necessary to place our farmers in direct competition with those of Canada, particularly as to wheat, which they are able to produce at a much smaller cost than that which prevails on this side of the line and their wheat zone, it is well to remember, exceeds more than half of our territory. There is no reason to believe that "the better elements" of the United States will ever consent to a scheme which thus pro poses to place our agricultural interests at the mercy of a close and formidable rival. We need an enlargement of our foreign markets, but it would be mani fest folly to seek such a boon by throw ing open the doors of our domestic mar kets to a neighboring people. The sophistry which urges a policy of that sort, under the pretense of promoting our commercial welfare, is apparent at a glance. It has nothing to recommend it to the intelligence of a country which owes its unprecedented prosperity chief !y to the fact that its labor and enterprise have been protected against just such competition as the plan in question would impose upon them. There are certain plausible arguments to be made in favor of more intimate business relations be tween Canada and the United States, but they become absurd when they reach the point of suggesting that the proper way to increase our foreign tralKc is to share our home markets witli, another country. That way lies the madness of a traffic for revenue only, with all its evil influ ences. Any form of commercial union with Canada which involves an abandon ment in any degree of the doctrine of protection to American industries is cer tain to be rejected by the people of this country. The Canadian statesmen are very much deceived if they entertain the opinion that we can be induced to accept an order of reciprocity by which our losses would bo certain to exceed our gains, We could easily make bargains upon such terms with every nation in the world; but it is not at all likely that we shall ever adopt that course in any in stance. Globe Dem. ELECTIONS TO-DAY. Iowa elects a Governor and other state officers and legislature. Maryland elects a governor and other state officers and legislature and decides whether a convention shall be ln.ll to revise the state constitution. Massachusetts elects a governor and other state officers and legislature. Nebraska elects a supreme judge and .two regents for the state university. Xcw Jersey elects its legislature. New York elects a secretary of state, conptroller, treasurer, attorney general, state engineer and surveyor and nine Justices of the supreme court, and the state senate and assembly. Ohio elects a governor and otlur state officers and legislature. Oregon votes upon three proposed amendments to its state constitution, one of which prohibits the sale of intoxicat ing liquors, one relates to the salaries of judges, and the third changes the time of state elections from J une to November. l'ensylvania elects a treasurer and a judge of the supreme court. Virginia elects its legislature. In addition to the foregoing, congres sional elections to fill vacancies will be held in the nineteenth and twenty-fifth districts of New York and in the second district of Rhode Island. To-ivvy has been a model election day. There was no disturbance or excitement around the pofis, but at the same lime a fair vote-was cast, or at least up to noon such was the case, and the majori ty seemed to be going in favor of the republican ticket without scarcely any scratching, and the outlook in Platts mouth seems good for the entire ticket. Sunday at Pattersonville, La. a body of. troops fired into a crowd of negroes, who had threatened to burn the town, killing several. The firing by the troop3 was certainly a mistake of the sheriff in command as the negroes dispuised with out returning the fir'.

That moss-covered cotoaniit about the 11. fc M. shops being removed from Pl ittsmouth is still going the rounds of the state press.

T.'ii: Amsterdam Diamond Tn.vni:. The city of Amsterdam, in Holland, has been descri bed as the "diamond eapitol of the world," with Antwerp second in impoit nice. The wages paid to Ar.ter dam diamond workers amount to alum: .(500,000 a year, and it is calculated that the industry gives employment to between 7,C00 and S,()00 persons. The United States consul estimates that o 0.000 carat. of rough diamonds reach Amsterdam manufacturers every week. Some of the stones, of course, command very high prices, but ordinary prices vary from IGs. to 11 per carat. 1 rcirfst reel Russian Pktiioi.ki m. The announce ment of the movement to restrict the pro ducti n of petroleum in the Vnitud S'aUs in order to stimulate prices is, strangely enough, coincident with renewed exer tions. The American product is to be forced to a higher price, while the Rus" shins are using all means to produce and ship tli .ir oil at less cost. The proprie tors of naphtha works at Baku. Rn--::i. anticipate groat results from the con struction of the tunnel at Sur.ini ps, in the Caucasus. The existing means ot transport of the Trans-Caucasian Rail way are inadequate, in consequence of which petrolt ri loaded in cistern wagon1? at Baku ready for transport e.-.-ts 70 per cent, more than its value in the stores. It nay be stated that in 1S(2 there were transported, over the Trans-Ceusian Kail way 00,000 poods; in ISSi. o,?00:OOC poods; in isy3, 0,1 00.000 poods; in IcSSf, 15,800,000 poods, and during the present year the figure will probably reach 000,000 or 10,000,000 poods. 7Yff' strett. IRON WHIZZING THROUGH A cm. A peculiar accident occurred to a pas senger train Monday night at Mil ford. The tire on one of the driving wheel burst and one piece shattered several sections of a fence. Auothci idee-, whizzed past the fireman's head, cut n ' the baggage-car, iiew through the t: :: passenger coach, and left the rear end o; the second coach without doing an; injury to passengers or crew. The trail was running about forty miles an hou at the time, and the flying pieces of tir had the velocity of a cannon ball. I sounded like the scream of a shell as i: !lev through the coaches. The damag. s to the cars is about t?o00. rhiladclphi Press. NATIONAL IGNORANCE.
