There Is a great deal of misinformation current concerning the position ot Secretary lllalno In the matter of Canadian reciprocity. The presence hero during tbo past week of the Canadian minister of fisheries , Mr. Tup- per , and tbo announcement that ho is to re turn with other Canadian oftlcinls within a few days lends additional Interest to the mat ter. A gentlemen who Is in a position to speak for the secretary of state says : "air. Ulalno Is not opposed to Canadian reciprocity but ha Is opposed to the brand of the article which seems to bo favored by thoMacDonald government. Sir John has discovered that the sentiment In the Dominion Is growing rapidly In the direction of closer commercial relations with the United States. In order to maKO a show of complying with the popular sentiment ho proposes that there shall bo reciprocity between the two countries In all natural products. He , In other words , wants the Unitoa States to admit free of duty all Canadian farm , dairy and niluo products ) ali'-tlmbor and lumbar of every description , and in return Is willing to give similar advantages totheUnlteii States In the markets of Canada. But bo will make no concessions in the matter of American inn- fblnory nnd manufactures. Mr. Bluluo , nfter looking the situation over , finds that the insult of such u reciprocal ( ? ) arrangement would bo simply to put the Canadian farmer on an equal looting with his American neigh bor in all our commercial cities without giv ing Americans anything In the way of com pensation , lie says to the Canada authori ties , "this will not suit usat nil ; when you are ready to give iuld pro nuo wo will negoti ate. " But the United States is not anxious to enter into a ono sided arrangement. If Mr. Tuppor Isreadvto negotiate upon a fair basis Mr. Blnlno will meet him holt way , otherwise there will bo no Canadian treaty tbls year. 1IU3INES * A/ND n.BASDRB COMIUNHD. The now Interstate commerce commis sioner , lion. Martin A.

For some time the commission bns been wrestling with tbo.subject of thoratos charged upon oranges and other fruits bv tbo railroads In tbo southern states , At this season of tbe year the farmers und planters of Florida are shipping great quantities of oranges , straw berries und other luxuries of tbo soml-troplcs to their loss fortunate neighbors In the north. It iu asserted ttiat tbo rates charged by tbo railroads for such classes of freights are disproportionately higher than the rates exacted for similar ser vice with ether goods. Tbo state railroad commissioners of Florida have been trying to regulate tlicso trciglit charges , out thus tar they have not been successful , and as re quired by law they relegated the whole matter to the national board for the regulation of lust such charges. It so happened that on his arrival bore to talto his position on the board Mr. ICnapp found that this subject was to receive attention. It was soon dis covered that as all the witnesses wcro m Florida it would bo fur loss expensive for the commissioners to go to Florida thnn for them to summon the witnesses to Washing ton. Consequently on Saturday last , thrco of them Messrs. Coolcy , Brags and Kuaup decided totaueatrip to the srono of the complaint , nnd during the past week the sessions of the board have been held among the oranges and strawberries of tbo fashion able whiter state , The hearings are considered highly im portant , and It the-commissioners decide agmnst the railroads the result will bo u ma te rial reduction In the fixed charges upon all Florida products sent north.

" ' roUTIOAI , SITUATION IN IOWA. In an editorial today upon tbo political sit uation la Iowa , cx 'ostmaster .General Frnnk Hntton says In the Post that the decline - cline of the republican party is duo to the fact that a very narrow majority within the party , constituting In thoniselvcs n mere mi nority of the state , have forced upon the party and on tlio state extreme policies affect ing the pcoplo In their personal and business relations , and they hnvo porMsled in this , al though year by "year they have seen the 'party associates of a Ufa time driven by ' ' this intolerance to seek ; shelter in the ranks of the opposition.

Point Is given to this movement by the candidacy of Judge Deck , notwithstanding his twenty-four years of continuous service , for rouoinlnatlon. If ho is nominated nnd re-elected It will bo cited to the ether Judges as a popular approval of the plan. Judge Beck of course lends himself readily to the scheme , and Is not deterred by any sense of Judicial propriety , of which commodity , indeed , bo possesses the smallest possible modicum. Ho has , as was said by ono of the lawyers of his mate , 'all the pre judice of ignorance anil all the Igno rance of prejudice. ' Bo In defiance of law. of public policy and of Judicial de cency he will head the campaign which has for Its purpose enforcing prohibition upon a reluctant people. The result will probably bo to re-elect Governor Holes , and Indeed nothing can prevent that consummation but a radical chaneo of men and chaiiEo of meas ures by the republicans of Iowa. " PEKKY S.
