The senate committee Investigating
our trndo relations with Canada ro-
sumcd its labord a low days ago in Boa-
ton. It haa since obtained the views ol
a considerable number ot representa
tive men In various departments o !
business nnd industry , and the inter
acting iact has boon disclosed that
there is a very general sentiment In
favor of commercial reciprocity
with Canada , Ex-Governor Claf-
lin , of Massachusetts , said the pee *
plo of Now England wore gen
erally /avorablo to closer relations with
Canada , and this is certainly borne out
by the expressions ot others who wore
heard by the committee. The presi
dent of the Boston chamber of com'
morco said there should bo free trade
in coal and iron , nnd some other pro'
ducts , between the two countries , and
the president of the fruit and produce
exchange , while regarding both politi
cal and commercial union as Im
practicable , favored a rociprocitj
which shall make more free
the interchange of commodi
ties between the United States
and Canada , and which shall just so
far enlarge our hoinu market as will bo
for thu interest of the country. Some
wont farther , and a few were found tc
fnvura policy looking to annexation.
All this is interesting and important ,
and nowhere more so than In the west
and northwest , which is very much
concerned in this question of trade
relations with our northern neighbors.
"What it distinctly shows is , that
within a comparatively brief time
there has taken place in Now England
a most decided change in public son tl
mont on this subject , and that what was
a few years ago the view of a compara
tively small number of the people o !
that section has now become general ,
It shows that while at tlio time the
questions of reciprocity nnd commer
cial union began to bo seriously agi
tated a few years ago , interest in them
was confined to a very few in any sec1
tion of this country. Now the repre
sentatives of great interests it
Now England and the northwosl
regard the subject of more inti
mate trade relations with Canada a :
ojio of the very greatest and mosl
pressing importance. So far as Nov
England is concerned , the reason foi
its present attitude is not far to seek
That section not only wants the in
creased market which would bo ex
pected from reciprocity , but it demand ;
for the preservation of its industries
cheaper raw materials. The iron in
dustrioa of that section have reached i
stage when tlio question o
cheaper raw materials is , ai
Governor Amos recently said
ono of lifo or death. For ten year
past those industries have boon steadil ;
declining , until now , taking the whol
of Now England together , they are nol
more than forty per cent of what thoi
wore ton yours ago. Many oxtonsivi
establishments have within the las
year or two boon closed , others are operating
orating to the extent of only n smal
part of their facilities , and very few ar
being run at a profit on the in
vestment. Unless relief bo ob
taincd in cheaper raw materials th
ultimate destruction of nearly
all these industries is inovit
able. They can not without such relic
withstand the competition of Pennsylvania
vania and tho.aouth , with the suporio
advantages as to raw materials thor
enjoyed. In the northwest the trans
portation question is the laost importan
influence in shaping public opinioi
favorable to closer commercial relation
with Canada , and it is not less poton
with the people of that section than i
the question of the preservation ot it
industries in Now England.
It is thus made apparent tlia
the whole subject of our business rolu
tions with Canadahas assumed adogrci
of importance and interest far groatoi
than it has over before possessed , am
that its future consideration will roquir
the most intelligent statesmanship. I
will como prominently before the nexi
congress , nnd it is not unlikely to play
more or losa conspicuous part ii
national politics , possibly with a do
clsivo eltqct upon the immediate futun
of parties. At any rate it is > certain t
command the earnest attention of th
entire country.
THE TJsWKEnS' CONWWTION.
The annual convention of the American
can Bankers' association will ho hold ii
Kansas City September 25 and 20. Then
has boon no time since the associatioi
was organized when its annual delibcr
ations wore of greater concern to thi
banking and general financial interest !
ot the country than will bo those of thi
forthcoming convention. In view a
this it will bo Interesting to note tli a
there will bo prepared for th
consideration of the convention i
more extensive variety and rang !
of subjects than at any prc
vious meeting of the association , am
the only serious question is whethe
there will bo time enough in the twi
days to giva adequate attention to thi
numerous subjects that will bo pro
sentod. Such matters as the relation
of corporate and private banking to th
government and states , the govornmon
ilnancog , wljtb particular reference t
the surplus , the reduction of the wn
debt , the revenues of the government
especially that from the tax on spirits
and the national bank system itaoll
should command the most careful am
thorough consideration , and as these ar
but a part of the subjects that wil
bo presented , and the association wll
bo called upon to spend some time ii
festivities , it is to bo apprehended thn
the bankers , thoroughly practical moi
though they are , and in the habit o
expediting business , will find two day
short tlmo in which to give duo consld
oration to the comprehensive pro
gramme that has boon arranged.
According to the report of Camp
trailer Lacy , on the national bnnklni
system , the total number ot no
tlonal banks in the United State
July 12 , 18S9 , wn three thou
sand , two hundred and thirty
nine , having a capital of over six hun
dred and live million dollars , Th
growth of the system during the last fov
years has boon greatest in the west am
southwest , but while the number o
banks has. Increased the amount of cir
culutlon has matori'illy decreased , Thi
greatest volume tt national bank clrcu
latlon was la 1873 , when the amount wa
in round numbers throe hundred an
lorty-two million dollars. Laf > t Jul ;
the circulation ot the natlonn
banks was ono hundred an
twenty-flight millions. The high prlc
of government bonds lias made the Issu
of notes based upon bond deposits tin
profitable , and as the national banl
notes have boon redeemed , their placi
has boon filled by the issue of coin cor
tiflcntos. An important question of tin
not remote future will bo that of pro
vldlng a security aa a basis for natlonn
bank notes , it the issuing Of notes b ;
national banks is not to bo wholly nban
doncd. The coming convention wil
doubtless have &otnothing to say on thi
subject. < _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ „
Tim bureau ot animal Industry hn
opportunely published a report ot th
number and value of cnttlo In th
United States for 1887 and 1883. In con
junction with the examination no\ \
being mndo by the senate beef Invest
( gating committou the report will bo o
great value , in determining disputoi
questions. It will certainly open th
eyes of many people to learn that slnci
1885 the number of cattle In tlio countr ,
devoted to the beef supply Increase
from seventeen millions to nearly fort }
nine millions. This strengthens the pc
si tion of those .vlio claim that the lo1
price of cattle is duo to overproduction
The deductions of the government ex
ports , however , nro to the effect tha
the price of corn and the moan price c
hogs In comparison with that of steer
to a measure affects the price of cattle
This is a suggestion which the sonat
committee should not fail to make us
of for what it is worth in Continuing it
inquiry into the dressed boot industry
THE Denver News is considorabl ;
wrought up because western railroad
continue to use the Missouri river ns ;
basis for western freight rates. As :
matter of fact , the roads could not d
otherwise , as the Missouri has alwav
boon regarded as the dividing lln
between eastern nnd western business
Then , too , its geographical locatioi
adds force to the position taken b
trans-Missouri roads , and as th
different western trunk line ays
terns terminate at points o
the river the managers could not , i
they wished , make a different arrangement
mont than the ono now in force. Th
trouble with Denver scorns to bo thti
while it desires to bo regarded as
terminal point it is in reality nothin
more than a good sized station on th
leading systems which diverge froi
Omaha and Kansas City. Whenovc
water can bo made to run up hill Dor
vor may cxpoct to become a torminc
point , but not until then.
To the honor of the officers of th
' regular army and to the liigh civilian
from the states of Kansas , Missouri , Nc
braska , Iowa and Colorado , who too
part in the project , a fitting monumon
to the memory of General Grant is t
bo unveiled to-day at Fort Leaven
worth. The event will prove of nn
tionnl importance and will put to sham
those cities whose abortive attempts t
erect a memorial to the hero of Appc
mattox have ended in failure. Quiotl
and without display the necessary fund
for the statue were raised , principall
through the efforts of army olllcor :
Without unnoccessary delay the wot-

known sculptor , Lorodo Taft , and hi
creation has boon most creditable t
his genius. The Grant monument t

THE London dock strikers complni

that outside of a question of poor wag <
it has boon shown that a dock laborer

there is noiroason why the mon shoul

plies well enough to English workingmen

living in this country.
THE United States did not fo <
called upon to retaliate when Gorman
and Franco , n few years ago , made the !
war On American pork. In both of thos
cases the Injury done the foreign coui
trios was much greater than to our prc
duce shippers , because other market
wore ready and anxious to receive a
the surplus available. Now that MOJ
ice foeln called upon to' place herself i
a position with regard to our pork prt
ducts equally as false aa that ocauplo
by both Franco and Germany , it will b
an easy matter for the United States , 1 :
after a survey of the situation , th
proper authorities think It wise , to re
talinto in a manner both effective an
damaging to the interests ol our soutl
orn neighbor. It Is to bo hoped that n
such contingency will arise.

slantlally correct , though the notua
number will never bo known. The losi

million dollars. The damage in Johns
town alone isiput at about five millions
and but a small .portion of this can bvo
ho recovered or1 repaired. In view o
such appalling 'consequences a solomi
prayer is offered that such n calamlt ;
will never agftln * visit this country.
* A11 the Sou'lh. American nations , wltl
the single exception of San Domingo
have signified their intention of accept
ing the invitation issued by this government
mont to participate in a congress com
posed of American nations called foi
the purpose of discussing the trade re
latlons of the various countries. The
reason San Domingo refuses to como ii
is because the United Stato3 sonnti
failed several years ago to ratify i
treaty negotiated by representative
from that country. The San Doming !
people make a mistake , but they wll
realize the fact soon enough withou
our tolling thorn.
THE Now York Sun wnrna the vlctu
alizors that the holding ot the fair it
that city will Involve nn enormous in
crease in the demand for food of al
kinds. "Tho daily consumption , " 1
says , "of moat in Paris , exclusive o
chickens and tripe , has risen from nine
hundred and fifty thousand pounds tc
far above ono million pounds. " Consld'
cring that the world's fair has not yo
boon located , the butchers may wait i
short time before they commence on1
larging their refrigerators for the
extra supply.
SUSPICIONS are well founded that slg
natures of property owners have boot
out upon petitions for paving withou
their knowledge or consent. Then
can bo llttlo doubt that if interested
taxpayers would consult the paving po
tltions on file at the city clerk's ollico
more revelations of an astounding character
actor would come to light. Forgery is i
crime which cannot bo palliated , and 11
this instance there nro grounds to bo
Hove that a great many fingers hav <
been burnt.
AN ALASKA correspondent of thi
Now York Times states that while then
is plenty of gold in Alaska , it is hard t <
got at. Gold was over hard to got at
and the fact makes people more anxlou' '
to obtain it. It is alleged that at pros
out but one Alaskan mine pays. Witli
improved machinery , however , enter
prising mon will doubtless see that . .thi
mountains give up their treasures ant
further enrich this great and gloriou
country. _ - _ . _ _ _ _ _
A UNIQUE plan to prevent private
soldiers from deserting from the regu

department. It proposes that the elli

If such a course were pursued the entire

would hardly bo sufficient to meet thi
requirement of oven a second liouton

OTHER LANDS TUAK OURS ,
The pertinacity with which the scions o
royal families cling to ideas which are of un
other tic and which are wholly out of ser
with the Kuneral sentiment of the proson
ago. Is curiously illustrated by the manlfosu
which the Comto do Pans has issued to thi
people of Franco. In It ho not only ignore
the most sentient political spirit of the eve o
the nineteenth century , which is that of thi
inherent right of popular government , but hi
ignores as well nil these events of the las
ten or twenty years ! n Franco which have
demonstrated the certain passing of persona
government. Ho speaks to the peasantry o
Franco In the tone of a master , or rather o
an owner , as if they and ull that is theirs be
longed to him. Ho contends for his anclon
right to rule over them a right to bo foun.i
only In the accident of his birth. Uccausi
his grandfather wan once king of France
and because ho is the so-called head ot tin
Bourbon family , ho claims the right to rali
and tax a great nation , the sumo thai
declared with mighty emphasis agalnsi
the last head of the Bourbons
who ruled that they would have ni
moro kings or Bourbons to rule ovoi
them. It is true that by fraud nnd fore
Louis Napoleon set up'a throne in the pulaci
from which Louis Pliilllppo was driven , bu
in the fullness of time ho too was drive :
from It , mid for eighteen years the Froiic
pcoplo liavo had no use for either kings o
emperors. With presidents of their owi
choosing , they 1mvo steadily advanced ir
self-government , and whatever their fail
ures , resulting from mistakes or faults , hay
boon , they have injido no sign that they an
willing to cease to bo sovereign citizens am
to again become subjects. ThoComtade
Paris Is ono of the ablest and worthiest o
his family , nnd if it wor9 possible for him t
forego his monnrchial protontions , to acuop
the existing political order of things , am
assist to build up the rouubllc upon flrma
foundations , ho would bo doing a wise
thing than that of assorting his right to setup
up the old Bourbon rule upon the ruins o
the present government. There is roaso :
enough for the French people to suspect tha
bis proclaimed lovu tor thorn and his solid
tuilo for their political walfnro lie no doopoi
than his ambition to be thulr king , and t
auy to them , as biV&'bf their kings did , "X ni
Franco. " So suspecting , it is not likely tha
his late manifesto will Induce them to rocog
ulzo thu right ho plains.

Tbo 8Uggostloa.that the Salisbury govern
incut sbu.ll vro\ioSd \ the endowment of
Koman CaUiOlio univorslty in Ireland Indl
cateH a repetition Jjfj the sumo tactics of nut
bidding the liborult that wore successful ! ;
employed by Diqcaoll tweaty years ago. I
has been tnuJo so'tentatively that U commit :
nobody to anything , and has probably beei
put forward for UH > purpose of fooling publli
'
opinion. If thUjw' $ lUQ purpose , it has suc
ceeded , and thouglil io result is what migh
buve > ) oen expected , It U none the loss in
structlvo. Aa to the Parnollltoj , they an
perfectly prepared to accept concession !
from either English party , and they would ,
of course , support a proposal to endow ai
Irish university In which the national roll
Klon was professed , from whatever quarto
the proposal might coma. They are uader
some obligation to the Gladsloniuu liberal
for the light these liberals have made la behalf -
half of home rule , but they do not profosi
lo bo bound by gratitude in their politico
action. They represent Ireland , and It It
their business to obtain any concessions the )
can for Ireland , whoever oilers them ,
lioubtlosi if Ireland were self-governed , 11
would set up a Catholic university. Cer
tainly , it would sot up a Catholic university
If it bet up auy at all. If there is a chanoe
of endowing suen a university with "impe
rial" money , of course they will accept It ,
but without abating any of there other do-
mantis or committing themselves to the sup
port of the party which offers thl conces
sion. It Is a case In which their Is no occa
slon to distrust the Greeks bearing gifts.
The trouble would rlso with Urltlsh nnd not
with Irsh opinion , nnd the liberal party In
England nnd In Scotland would dmibtlosa
oppose such n schotlio with vohomonco. The
conservatives proper would btwo no particu
lar objection to allowing n Uoman Cathollo
people to have a Uoman Cathollo university ,
but the liberal unionists would probably upon
such nn Isiuo desert the conservatives tc
n mnn. In fact , it Is far moro a religious
sentiment than ono properly pollU
cal that makes the strength of the
opposition in Englanel to homo rulo.

September S3 the general election of a now
chamber of deputies will take plneo In
Franco. As to the outcome ot this Interest
ing political contest there Is scarcely any ellf-
forunco of opinion among foreign onlookers.
Tlio opponents of Houlnngor nro supposed to
have succeeded In thoroughly dlscroditlna
nnd disabling him. Nevertheless , cortaic
recent Incidents In Paris suggest that it maybe
bo still prudent to refrain from prediction.
It should bo rcmomborod In considering tha
play of forces in the coming election that , al
though the opportunists nnd the radicals
huvn joined hands In the effort to get rid of
Uoulangor , they can hardly unlto on candi
dates for the chamber of deputies. Their po
litical programmes nro antagonistic. The
opportunists am satisfied with the French
constitution as It Is , and they especially In
sist on the retention of the senate. The
radicals are as distinctly plcdgcd'as Bou-
liuigor himself to a thorough revision of tha
organic law , and particularly to the sum
mary abolition of the upper house. Again ,
the radicals doslro to repudiate the concordat ,
which the opportunists , on the contrary , pre
fer to uphold , having aated or outgrown their
former hostility to clericalism. That parties
with vlowa BO conillctlng should ngroo upon
n common list of candidates scams impracti
cable ; yet , in the absence of such an acroo-
incnt , the conservatives are cortam to carry
every arrondlssomcnt In which the combined
republican majority Is small. The recent
election of councillors general in a largo
number of cantons does not help us to fore
cast the result ot the approaching contest
for the control of the chamber. Opportun
ists and radicals combined upon candidates
for those local ofllces. Could they do this on
September 23 , they would unquestionably
carry a largo majority of the arronelisso-
monts. There is , however , but llttlo chance
of such a union.

The Gorman rolchstag will soon begin Its
last session before the elections , and much
curiosity Is felt as to the legislation to bo
proposed by the government. Emperor Wil

amounts to a mania. But in view of another
appeal to the country the government must
bo prepared to show some quid pro quo for
the vast sums expended upon armaments ,
Komo Importance may therefore bo attached
to the assertions made In Berlin that Bis-
marok is perfecting a numbbr of social re
forms. Legislation in favor of the working
classes will llguro prominently In this pro
gramme. Money lenders now oppress the
small borrowers by exacting heavy Interest ,
nnd capital in Germany , ns in some other
lands , holds the laborer down to the lowest
wauo figure , oven If it is below decent livin ?
vugcs. Bismarcic proposes to regulate
strikes , nnd to prevent usurious interest.
This will not. relieve the foreign situation ,
but may serve to hold the reichstag well up
to the part it must play in the drama of the
balance of power in Europe.

Tippo Tib's loyalty to King Leopold , of
Belgium , nnd bis friendship for Stanley have
not led him to an indiscriminate admiration
of the white race. Ho evidently shares to
Bomo extent that dislike for both English and
Germans which ho imputes to the natives oj
Africa. But his theory that the influonca o
the Arabs tends to put an end to slavery by
"Instilling into the natives civilized ideas" is
qulto remarkable. It is the Arabs who In-
vndo peaceful villages , killing those who re
sist and carrying off to a horrible fata all
who can march or bo dragged. The Arab
caravan tracked from the ruined African
settlement to the slave market on the coast
by the bones of Its victims is ono of the most
hideous spectacles of inhumanity prompted
by greed of money that the earth still fur
nishes. Tippo Tib had become- notorious in
the business , nnd Stanley , In calling him te
his aid , as Gordon had called upon Zebohr ,
did so because ho felt compelled to make use
of the enormous power the Arab chief pos
sessed. Stanley Is said to bavo procured a
stipulation from him to suppress the slavu
trafllc in the Stanley Falls icttion , hut prob
ably his heart Is with his countrymen. II
Tippo Tib's son shares the parental ideas
about Germans and Arabs , tlio pinjcct tc
make him mediator between Captain Wiss-
maun and Bushiri may not bo acceptable tc
the former at least.
Humphrey or Humphreys Island and Hior-
son inland , the two latest of the llttlo tracts
of land in the Pacific which the Urltlsh have
annexed to her majesty's domains , will no
doubt bo grabbed without opuosltion. They
do not Ho Ja tbo Hold which Germany has
seized , and , indeed , they are rather within
that region which some nmpinukers have
been in the habit of assigning to the United
States , in consequence either of original dis
coveries or visits of American navigators , or
of occupation by our countrymen for collect
ing and shipping guano. Hut us our govern
ment has never sot up any possessory tltlo
to this region , which lies between the Sand-
wloh nnd Satnoan islands In latitude east
of the Gjlbert and Elllco croups , there Is
not the slightest danger of objection from
that source. Fanning and Ponrhyn Islands
in this locality not long ago bad the British
Hag hoisted over them , nnd near tlio latter
nro the two now acquisitions , which lie in
about 10 = south lattltudo and 1GU0 west
longitude. There is Some plausibility In the
theory that they nro nnnoxoil with a view to
possibly malting thorn stations in the pro
posed ocean cable line between British
Colombia and Australia , although they aro'
rulfflr far east of a direct route from Honolulu
lulu to the FIJIs , or even from the former
point to Samoa by way of Fanning Island.

The report thatthoklngof the Belgians con
templates a visit to the Congo Is not surpris
ing. It scorns natural that a capitalist , who
wiihlu the past cloven years has invested
over (3,000,000 of his private fortune In the
development of tbo Congo , should desire to
sou for himself what has been dona with his
money. The area within which his royal
bounty has boon expended Is enormous , and
the king Is not likely to visit moro than a
small part of the region ; but oven If ho
should go no further inland than Stanley
Pool , ho would BOO many striking evidences
of the wonderful change that has been
wrought in the aspsot of things on the lower
Congo. It has been fortuuuto for the Congo
state that nothing has yet occurred to check
tbo tnualuoont donations tliut have boon es
sential to carrying on the enterprise. But
the Uluc's great pecuniary saorillcos can not
always continue , und it Is an interesting
question what will become of tha enterprise }
when tbo money of Leopold II. rues short.
Its future , doubtless , depends upon the den
velonmont of Its commerce , and the hope o
Its promoters Is that tbo railroad soon to be
built will give nn impulse to trade that wll
put the stnto on n sound foundation ,
