and it was for mtch discrimination that Pres
ident Harrison , acting under ( he authority
given lilin by Ihe net of July 26 , ISO. ,
directed that lolls be collected un Canadian
vessels pausing through St. Mnrv's
Pnlls canal to ports In Canada. The of-
le t of tills action was lo bring the Cana
dian government lo terms nnd Iho retalia
tory policy van dropped. The act provll-
lug for retaliation , however , Klalids , bill It
would ncdii that Iho government of Canadi
Is mil Lonccrnid about the fart , perhaps
feeling that there .In no danger ot the net
being enforced by the present admlnlstra-
thn
Canada Is Voting herself In a position of
Inn | ftulenco In this mailer. She has now
HIM-I/ completed a canal that will relieve
her \c * el ownero of the necessity of using
the American canal , nnd when this now
vvaUrway Is made ready for use. lite Cana
dian ( .overnment may Impose what tolls It
pleases on American commerce passing
through the Wollnnil canal with Impunity ,
bo fur as existing law Is concerned. The
relnl'ullon ' provided for by Ihe act ot 1892
will IH worthless. The question as lo how
thu United Stales shall protect American
Interests from the Ihrenletied discrimina
tion will undoubtedly be considered at the
present session of congress , nnd there Is n
great deal Involved In It. Some time ngo
n bill relating lo this matter was Introduced
In the house of representatives by Mr.
ChltKerliiK of New York. This measure Is
aimed al thu bonding privilege accorded lo
Canadi in railroads by Iho United Stales ,
nn 1 therefore : possesses a broad Interest.
It picvidcs tlmt whenever the president
shall bu satlsflid Hint the Canadians nre
discriminating In Iho use of the Wetland
canal or other canals In that country
against the United States he shall sus
pend by proclamation the transpoilallon
across the United Stales In bond nnd with
out the pijment of duty nil merchandise
Imported or exported from mi } 'fotclgn '
country to Canada It Is very probable
tlmt legislation of this kind would have the
effect to Induce the Canadian government
to adopt a more friendly conrso toward the
American Intercsls Involved , for Iho sorl
of retaliation prosposed would doubtless be
n hardship lo Canada which the- collection
of lolls from American vessels passing
through Die canals of that counlrj would
hardly counlerlnlaiice. The author of this
measure expresses confidence that It can be
passed , because similar legislation was rec
ommended during Mr. Cleveland's first
administration nnd most of the democrats
In the house were then committed in favor
of It.
In his last annual mcssngo to congress
President Harrison referred at f-omo length
*
to this matter of-Canadlan discrimination ,
saying that our treaty rights were flagrant ! )
disregarded jind urging that the time had
conic for the United 'States to consider
whether our interchanges upon lines ot land
transportation should not be put upon a
different basis and our entire Independence
of Canadian canals and of the SI. Lawrence
ns an outlet to the sea secured by the con-
slrucllon ot an American canal around the
Kails of Niagara and the opening of ship
communication between Ihe great lakes and
one of our own seaports. Of course nothing
ot this kind Is practicable at present , though
It may become Imperative In the not dis
tant future. Meanwhile we jihall proba
bly have to provldo some sort of retalia
tory policy for reslralnlng Iho Canadian gov
ernment from damaging discrimination
against American interests , since It Is evi
dent that treaty obligations will not bo
respected by that government.

Ballot reform has made rapid progress In
the United Stales. The first st.ilo lo adopt It
was Massachusetts , In 1SSS , since which time
thirty-four oilier slates have passed ballot
reform laws , based largely on the Australian
8stem , Nine of the states having such laws
are In the south , nnd ot the nlno remaining
which have not adopted ballot reform most
ot them are In that section. The latest addi
tions to the column of ballot reform stales
are Virginia and Alabama. In Iho laller
state the system will bo tried for the flist
time In August , when one ot the most holly
contested elections the stale has ever known
will bo hold. The Alabama law contains all
the essential features of the Australian sys
tem , and It Is said to bo the determination
ot the leading politicians of the stale that the
law shall have a fair trial this year. If this
Is faithfully carried out there may bo some
Interesting changes shown In the v'oto of
Alabama , which Is in some respecls one of
the most progressive of the southern slates.
The advance of ballot reform In the south
will bo welcomed by good citizens every
where , and If by moans of It fair and honest
elections are secured It will be good for
the south and for the whole country. Hut
how far Is their wan ant for bellavlng that
such will be the result ? What assurance Is
there that In these stales every citizen en
titled to vote will have any bellor chance
lo excrclso his right ot suffrage and have
his vote/ fairly counted under these ballot
reform laws than under the system they
supersede ? Tennessee adopted ballot re
form In 18S9 , and have elections slnco then
been any fairer and honostor slnco
than before that time ? Have the
colored voters of that stale enjoed
more fully and generally under this
law their right to vote , especially In na
tional and congressional elections , than
they did bcforo the law wont Into effect ?
There Is nothing In the figures of the Ten
nessee elections since 1SS9 lo Indicate that
they have. What about Arkansas and Ken
tucky and Toxns , which adopted ballot re
form laws In 1891 ? Is there any Indication
In the vote ot theuo slates since the laws
wont Into effect that the colored citizen
lias been afforded any holler chance than before -
fore to freely cast his ballot and have It
fairly counted ? All these states have con
tinued to maintain about the usual demo
cratic plurality , which every fair-minded
man wilt admit would hardly have been
possible If the colored voters , a large ma
jority ot whom are unquestionably repub
licans , had been allowed to vote freely ,
or generally to vote at all according to
their political convictions. The plain truth
Is that these citizens have been about as
effectually disfranchised under the ballot
reform law * la operation In southern state *
as they were bi fore the enactment of Ihci
Invvi nnd whetlur hny real reform In this
n pfet Is na-unably lo be ripci led In
the fuliire Is n question Still the adop
tion of this legislation and the public sen
timent Hint cnllH for It must be necjpted
ns marking a tendency In the right direc
tion.

In Hie great political Milpo hunt which
has been In progress for the Insl twclvo
months the democracy of Douglas county
have the honor , glory nnd snllsfactlon ot
holding the bag while their brethren In
other peel Ions of the stale have curried off
Iho game. Out of the total vote of I4.1D3
cast for Jay Sterling Morton , their candi
date for governor In 1892 , which , by the way ,
marked n drop of over 27,000otM polled for
Jnmci 12. Uoyd Iwo } cars previous , Douglas
county contributed 7.HIS. In other words Doug-1
las county gave Morton , who la by no means
popular In this county , one-sixth of the total
vote rust for him In the state. What has
Douglas county got to show for this ? Not
n solitary olllee among all the federal post-
HOIIM not strlclly local and of right belong
ing lo Iho cltl/ons of Omaha ,
Otoe county , which gave Morton only 1,111
vo'tos , less than 3 per cent of the aggregate ,
secured a cabinet officer , Cass county ,
which cast 1.5SO voles for Merion , secured
Iho United Slnles marshal. Plnlle county ,
which gave Merion only ' . 'CO ' voles , was
given Ihe colleclor of Interim ! revenue , nml
laslly , Lanc.isler , which gave Morton 1,790
votes , us ngnlnst Iho 7,318 voles cast for
him In Douglas county , , carries off the
United Stales nllorncyshlp. Hvcn In Iho
little picking among the reed birds , such as
land offices and minor favors out of the grab
bag , Iho Douglas democracy has been
snubbed and Ignored.
Dr. Miller's selection as surveor of cus-
loms Is no concession or gift to Omaha
democrats , The olllcc Is strictly local , Just
the same ns the postofflco , which , of course ,
must bo filled by un Omaha democrat sooner
or laler.
It certainly does look as If kissing goes by
favor Instead of merit. What's the use of
being a Jacksonian club mnti or a Satnoset
bravo ? There Is nothjng In It so long as
all you get Is holding nn empty sack. From
our standpoint , of course , wo can merely condole -
dele with the bet caved and betrajcd. The
only consoling words that can be utlered
arc embodied In Mark Twain's latest quota-
lions ft om the calendar of Pudd'nhead Wll-
bon :
"If yon pick up a starving dog and make
him prosperous he will not bite Jon. This
Is tlio principal difference between n dog nnd
n man. "

The thousands ot credulous people In
tvvcut-four different stales of the union who
permitted themselves to be cntiapped In that
huge Iron Hall swindle now llml that they
arc all to share alike In the abscts , or , rather ,
In thu lack of nssets of the defunct concern.
The members who happened lo reside In Penn-
hjhanli have all along Imanglncd Ihat they
were to get the bettor of the members In
other slales , but a recent decision of a Penn
sylvania court has rudely deprived them of
their hopeful contemplation. When the Iron
Hall wont tinder , some two years ngo , re
ceivers were appointed , not only for the pir-
ent corporation In Indiana , but also for the
brandies , nnd , among the latlcr , for Penn
sylvania. The tccelver for the Pennsylvania
branch , more fortunate than those In other
slnles , inairigcd lo becure a considerable sum
that was piyablc and clue to the Iron Hall ,
In all over $700,000 , while the Utal collections
ot Iho Indiana receiver amount so far lo but
little over $800,000. The plan of the Penn-
svlvanla members , therefore , was to keep for
distribution among Ihcmselves the money
that might be collected for their branch and
tlrus lo secure much larger Individual shares
than the unfortunate members In other
stales.
Hut Iho decision referred lo sounds the
death knell of this shrewd scheme. U Is a reg
ular rule of law in Pennsylvania that In the
case of creditors residing there the court will
not allow funds to bo withdrawn from their
Jurisdiction until the creditors' rights have
been determined. Hero , however , the people
ple having claims against the Iron Hall
were members of the corporation nnd not
ordinary creditors. So while ordinary
creditors In Pennsylvania would be given
preference over the receiver of the parent
concern , iho latter as representing all the
members comes In ahead of the members
of any particular branch. "If , " said the
court , "thero Is any Inconvenience In becom
ing members of a forplgft corporation rather
than Joining ono In our own stale It Is one
that they have voluntarily brought , upon
thenibclves. "
The result Is that the members of the
Pennsjhanla branch of the Iron Hall will
got less out of the remnants of Us properly
than they expected and that the other mem
bers will get more than they had reason to
expect. They will get lltllo enough even
then , although they may await another small
dividend ns a result of fills recent order.
The lesson of the Iron Hull .swindle is to be
Impressed uniformly upon nil the dupes. It
Is the old , old lesson that promises of sonfc-
thlng In return for nothing are lo bo viewed
with suspicion.
Ono lllllo side aot In the suit pending be
fore the supreme court asking for a man
damus to compel the state treasurer to carry
out the provisions ot the law requiring him
to Invest the idle uchool funds In Interest
bearing warrants deseivos to bo brought out
before the proscenium lights. When In the
decision of the court upon the depository
law the court took the attorney general to
task for not noting In his public capacity for
the people to uphold and defend the validity
ot the law Instead of Joining with the state
treasurer to prevent Its enforcement , the
Lincoln organ of the state house coterie
rushed to his defense , claiming that It was
qulto the customary thing for the attorney
general to assist state olllccrs In their at
tempts to evade the provisions ot laws
obnoxious to them. As an Illustration ot
this , It pointed to this mandamus case , In
which It sold the governor was represented
by the atlorney general and the atalo treas
urer by the deputy atlorney general. It Is
Interesting lo note Ihat the Interested parties
have taken the hint given by the supreme
court , and that the answer filed for the
stale treasurer Is not signed by the , deputy
attorney general , hut by a private attorney ,
evidently employed nt the expense of the
stale treasurer. The "slap at the attorney
general" has thus not been entirely without
result.
