CANADA , taking her cue from America , has passed a resolution in her IIouso ol Commons offering reciprocity to the tnotlior country. England , in spite o : her frco trade notions , will probably make the proposition the basis for the formation of a British zollvoroln. JOHN M. RAOAN , not long since at torney for tlio St. Joseph & Grimi Island railroad , but now a vociforoui anti-monopolist , lias entered the present camuaign in a new role. Ho is to bo the troubadour for McKoighnn. At the Adams county convention ho sang ono o his old songs with great unction. NOW that the Rock Island is running a lightning express between Chlcngi and Denver via Omaha nnd the Northwestern - western nnd Union Pacific liavo ontoroi tlio lists with a record breaker , the Hut- llngton should boatir itsulf and send It : Denver llyor through Omaha instead o cutting this city oil iind going vii Oroapolls.

Ropubllcnn conventions hnvo boon behl in more than half the states nnd in all except Colorado the expression luw boon favorable to the ronomlnatton of President Harrison. Of the 03) delegates - gates who will constitute the conven tion at Minneapolis a in ijorlty of them nro nlcmly practically ploJged to vote for the roiiomtnatlon of the president. It is true thnt only ono stUo , Nebraska , hns Instructed its delegates to so vote , but in till of them , with the exception noted , the preference and wish of the republicans have boon so clearly and unmistakably indicated as to amount virtually Ui instruction. What those conventions have made plain is that but two republic in leaders were at any time prominent in the thought of llm iru-ly as candidates for the pre.-iidonoy , Harri son nnd Hlaine , and when the ItiUor withdrew from any participation in tl.o contuft the great bulk of party sun- port wont naturally to the president , no rival having presented himself who was nblo to make nny show of strength ngainsthim. There c.in be no doubt that a majority , if not all , of the republican Hlato conventions yet toby hold will fol low the course laid out by those which hnvo appointed delegates to the national convention , so that the few enemies of the president who may llnd their way into that body will bo powoiloss to affect the result. No administration in the history of the country received more hearty nnd cordial endorsement from the con voli tions of thn party than has boon ac corded to the administration of Presi dent Harrison. The ability , integrity and patriotism that have distinguished tlio conduct of nITnirs hnvo boon no- * knowledged and commended in the strongest torms. The declaration of the lepubllcans of Now York that in every department .l the government "tho highest qualities of statesmanship hnvo boon exhibited , commanding ro- spcct and confidence at homo and win ning now glories for the republic abroad , " and that of the Ohio ropubli- cms that President Harrison lias civen the country a wise , just and patriotic ' administration , maintaining the na tional dignity and honor at home and abroad , rollocted the general sentiment of the party. Republicans are proud of the administration because it has been at every point clean , able nnd strong , and especially because it has guarded with /Galons care American interests. Another fuel to bo noted regarding the republican state conventions already held is the harmonv that has character ized them. It has boon a great disap pointment to the opposition that in Now York , Pennsylvania and Ohio , whore factional conllicts wore expected , the " " without the republicans "gottogether" least dilliculty and perfected the work they had to do without jar or friction , imbued with n common purpose to close up tlio ranks and present an unbroken front to the enemy. With no contro versy regarding a candidate and with it1 * policies clearly defined , the repub lican party has not in twenty years boon in bettor condition than it is in now to carry on nn aggressive contest. noiis OAIJK THACK. The convention of the Iowa democ racy , which is to bo held at Council lilulTd on the llth of May , promise.- bo interesting as well as exciting. It had generally been given out that the Iowa democracy would fall into line foi Cirover Cleveland , with a view of securing - ing the .support of the followers of the ox-prcstdont for the nomination of Boiea for second place on the ticket. Hut Governor Doles proposes to ontcr the race against Cleveland and contest for the presidential nomination. The in itial stop to make a light for Boies and against Cleveland was taken Saturday by the democrats of Black Hawk county , which is the governor's homo , by the adoption of resolutions urging the stale convention to select a delegation to the Chicago convention , every member ol which shall pledge himself to usn hit utmost endeavors to make Horace Boies the party's national standard bearer in the coming campaign. This is practically the formal doclara lion on the part of Boies of his deter mination to enter the lists against Cleveland. This means a factional Ilirlii at Council BlulTs with the Cleveland democrats , who form a very respectable minority in the state of Iowa , and maj under skillful loulershlp succeed n dividing the delegation , if they do no actually carry the convention ngnins ! Boms by passing resolutions to leave tin delegation ontlrulv uninslructod. /.I Representative Cummings of Nov York is a democrat , but lie does not bo- ling to that element of the party whicl Is in accord with the cheeseparing pol icy of Holman of Indiana. Mr. Cum- imngrt is opposed to extravagance ii public expenditures , but he believe.- tlmt the United States ought to have n navy equal to every possible deimnd fos protection and defense , and therefore hi nntagoni/.oU the majority of his party li the house in their determination to prac tically put n stop to the construction o a navy bylimiting the appropriation foe thin purpose , for the next liioil you1 , tc the building of a single cruiser. He also behoves that a great and wealthy nation llko the United Stales can alTori to bo properly represented abroad , .and therefore ho opposed tlio proposition ti consolidate diplomatic missions and ou down the already meager salaries o consuls in order to snvo a few thousatn dollars. Til's horc of economy Air. Cum mliigs characterized as pirblmony , am in n speech in the house on Saturday hi sharply rebuked the mon who are ury ing a policy the offccts of which ooun not fail to bo damaging to the interest of tlio country. The present assault of tlio democrat In congress upon the diplomatic an consular service of the country is con sistoiit with tlio sentiment of the part regarding that horvlco for many yean It would huvo reduced it to a conditio of comparative worthless-ness long ng if it hnd had the power to do so. Th elevation and elliciency of that servlc nro duo wholly to the republican which 1ms treated it us a neno > ssary an valuable holn to the extension of 01 foreign commerce , Republicans huv boon wjlling to 1 oar a something ; froi the policy of other nations In this pxr- llculnr , nnd especially from ( treat Brit ain , whew coiiiimrcl.il progress hns In no small degree boon protmtoil by the energy nnd vigilance of her diplomatic and consular rop-esontnllves. It has boon the wlso policy of that country to trnln men for this ucrvlco and to make Its rewards sulllclcntly attractive to in duce capable men to enter upon it with a view to ni.ikliiLT It their life work. It has consequently boon a tower of strength to her merchants and nnnu- fncturor * . The United States hns cntoroJ upsn an aggressive commercial policy.

No posslolo saving to bo made from consolidating diplomatic missions nnd reducing consu lar silarlos could compensate for such a sacrifice. K.l/MIMT T/Mf.VS. Twelve years ago the shortest line ot railway between Kansas City and Den ver boasted of the spaed of its trains which carried passengers between the two cities in thirty-two hour.s. The Julesburg cut-off brought Omaha , two years or so laljr. into lik ole e re lations with the Rocky mountain metropolis , and the trip was ma lo from Omaha to Denver in twenty-throe hours. This was hor.ildod with a great blast of trumpets. Last night a train loft on the same railroid which will iit-ike the run in thirteen bourn.

We are in n hurry , mid in our hns-lo crowd what wore formerly the experiences of a lifetime into the moments of a holiday excursion. In this inarch of majestic movements the west follows the east. The trains of the irnirics and mountains are propelled uy Iho same power as Ihoso of the valleys and mountains of the east. Wo must keep in touch with the spirit of our lime ; ' , and hence visitors find in Lho heart of the continent and on west to tlio Pacific the same facilities 'or travel , the s\mo : luxuries iintl con veniences of modern existence as greet them daily in their eastern homos. Tin : remonstrances sent to congresi trom Scandinavians in various parts ol tlio country , and particularly in tin northwest , against the proposition tc abolish tlio mission to Denmark and consolidate it with that to Sweden and Norway , had the desired effect , and the United Stiitcs will continue to bo ropro- iitod by a minister accredited to the Danish court It would have boon n very serious mt > taka to have nuido the change proposed by the democrats of the house committee on foreign relations , stnco the effect would certainly have been loloao us respect with all the Scan dinavian countries. Denmark intends to make a fine exhibit at tlio World1 ! fair , having npiiropriatad a sonorous sum for the purpose , and this aelior would undoubtedly liavo boon recoil aidorod had wo abolished the mission ti that country. It would also doubilesi have given olTonso to the king of Sweden nnd Norway , who lias been selected t < name ono of the judgoi in the Boriii { sea arbitration. Unquestionably ii would have been found to bo very utr prolltnbia economy. The Scaiidlnavlni population of the United States wil understand Unit the abandonment b.y the democrats of their objectionabU buhemo was made wholly from a fear o ; political consequences , und they will not think less of the insult to their nativi lands which the proportion involved.

Aside from this unique garb , his beard stands out from tils' face a ma sy , wiry chovnux-de-frise , in which enough straw and chiuT have lodged to pro vide an adequate "comforter" for his face und neck.

This is varied by his barsz soup , or n vegetable soup eonuiiuing chunks of pork , nnd each Polish peasant is bald to consume half a ton of gorkcn , or cucumbers preserved with bay leaves and salt every year. Another meal ol which ho is very fo'nd is polatoos and sour milk. The latter costs but 5 itroutzcrs par quart , or S cents per gallon. Ho is n slave to spirits , nnd Ihu average Polish poasuul consumes one gallon of vito Cicrmau schnapps every week.
