HUITS THS DOMIHI02T aOVRRNMSJO'.
Mosthkai,, 8pt. 8. The Gmitt,
the Government organ, publishes what
may be regarded as a reflex of the Do
minion Government's postilon toward
the reciprocity resolution Introduced
into the United States Senate Monday
by Senator Sherman. Speaking of the
terms of Ibe resolution. It will say
"This proposition seems to us admirablv
constructed, and of a character to ex
cite approval of In Canada. It 13
strictly In accord with the pollcv of the
Dominion Government, set forth dur
ing the negotiation of the abortive flsh
ciles treaty In 187, when the Urltlsh
Commissioners, acting nt the sugges
tion of the Canadian Ministry, proposed
to take up the whole question of the
trade relations of tbo two countries and
Etttlc the fisheries dispute on the basis
of a reciprocity arranccment Unlike
the projects of Mr. Wlman. .Mr. Hltt,
Mr. Ituttcrworth and the Canadian
Liberals, that of Mr. Sherman gives
ample scope for negotiation, mutual
concession and the protection of Inter
ests essential alike to the material pros
prrity as to tho political Integrity of
tbo Dominion. It does not put n pistol
nt tho bend of tbo Canadian Govern
ment, with tho threat, 'Put the control
of your fiscal affairs In our hands or
suffer n commercial crusado against
your Interests.'
"On tbo contrary, It provides alter
natives and proper latitude. Under
tho terms of tbo resolution questions
relating to tho coasting trado, to trans
portation In bond, to tho flshorlos, to
reciprocal privileges, In wrecking In a
wotd, to tho commercial relations of
Canada and tho United States In their
widest sense can bo mado matters of
discussion and negotiation.
"Whether the resolution will be
adopted is doubtful. Mr. Sherman,
however, Is ono of tbo most Influential
members of tho Senate, and possessed
of power in tho Ilcpubllcnn party, and
It is qulto possible ho will havo tho sup
port of n number of Democrats. Just
now tbo drift In tbc dominant party is
toward reciprocity. In accordance with
the lead taken by Mr. Ulalno
"Meanwhile It Is satisfactory to have
mooted by a public man of John Sher
man's eminence and ability a proposal
for enlarged commercial relations,
:vhcse acceptance will he entirely con
sistent with Canadian honor ami Cana
dian Interests."

llRt.AStATRIl'S HI.RCTtON.
Schaktox, Pa., Sept. 3. The Scran
ton Truth, of which Hon. John E llsr
rett, a former Republican member of
the Legislature, is editor, declares itself
opposed to the election of Delamater as
Governor, and calls the State of Penn
sylvania "a reproach In the eyes of the
nation" because of "Its abject subserv
iency to the rule of petty bosses and
commercial politicians. It says:
"The Commonwealth has permitted
itrelf to become the plaything of conn
tcrfclt statesmen, who, in utter disre-
?:ard of every principle of manhood and
lonor, have selected as their candidates
for office the most pliant and submis
sive parlies they can find and the Re
publican party In the Keystone State
has been thwatted and dwarfed until It
has become n common machine for the
elevation to power and ploco of a set
of unscrupulous Incompetents."
The Truth further declares "It high
time Republicans shake off baneful boss
domination, and boss and boodlo poll
tics," and says: "Tho present campaign
affords ample opportunity for giving
both these vicious Inlluences the
quietus, and, beside dcfoatlng the Guber
natorial candidate of the bosses, the
people should elect a Legislature
pledged to the realization of ballot re
form, and thus n double victory will
bo nchlcvoil for manhood and for
freedom."

CAN RIDE TO HIS HEART'S CONTENT.
.Senator Jonea llaa n Cane rilled With
Fire-Cent l'lece.
Sonator Jones of Nevada was pre
sented last nltht at Cbamhcrlln'a with
0 eold headed and nickel-loaded cane
by c.-Governor Caleb W. West of
Utah. The cane Is n novelty and the
only one of thu kind In the country.
borne time ago Senator Jones, while
conversing with a friend, Mr. C. C.
Goodwin of Salt Lake, said that the joy
of his life was riding upon the cable
cars of San Francisco, and that the
miieiy of his life was trying to And
tbe nickels to pay for his trips.
Mr. Goodwin went to .Messrs. Joslin
A- Park of Salt Lake and gave them an
Idea of the kind of cane he would like
them to make for Senator Jones, and
the idc 1 was carried out. The head of
the csne Is hollow, and In It are placed
a number of nickels. A pressure on
the bead of the stick releases a five
cent piece. It Is likely that the street
cars will be well patronizetl by the
Stnstnr.
Governor West. In his speech, referred
to wliat Senator Jones had done on the
sliver question and predicted the future
goed results of the Senator's action.
The miners, he said, were all friends of
Senator Jones.
Senator Jones, In thanking Governor
West for his eloquent speech, referred
to tbe great progress made by the
towns and cities beyond the mountains,
which were built by tbe toll of the
laboring man. He said he had always
been tlte friend of tbe miners, and was

case of suicidal mania has come to
light In South Baltimore, where Mrs.

cured. He staunched the How of Wood,
fearing to leave her long enough to go
for a doctor.
Again he fell asleep, when the woman
made her way Into (he cellar and tried
to beat out her brains with an axe. Mr.
Spiegel found her unconscious in the
(lliili)ir room, wbltber she had crawled.

constituted a strong dose A doctor
was then sent for, who brought her out

attempts to kill herself as soon as she

strangle herself by drawing tbe pieces
of coid tightly about her neck, and
afterward by stuffing a part of a sheet
down ber throat.
She wanted to get up and go t tbe
Spring Guldens to drown herself, but
her husband prevented ber. Finally,

Travelers who have entered the terrl
tort of all the Ktiropeim monarchies
ami despotisms lose their mthnstatm for
the free Institutions of America when
tliry strike Its custom houses. In Eng
land thev are asked whether their bag
gage contains any tobacco, spirits or
Kngllsh reprints. When a traveler w
piles In the negative he Is allowed to
depatt without upsetting the contents
of his trunk. In France, Germany,
ltelelnm, Italy and other Knropenn
countries the baggage is I rely opened,
and the traveler Is rarely subjected to
the formality nf an examination as to
his ident ty. When, however, he wils
for the Untied States he Is informed on
shipboard that he imtt rill up a blank,
giving the following Information:
Name.
Age.
Sx.
Country to which he brlonea.
Count ry to which he Is Koine.
Number of piece of baggage.
The official Mint who prenred that
blank did not know that the Information
he strove to obtain respecting age and
sex was utterly worthless for statistical
purposes, Wause he did not know the
ages or sex of those who left the coun
try or of those who entered by way of
the Canadian frontier.

In turn takes a seat on the left of the

lie Is then invited to sign an affidavit to
that (ITtct. A little card numbered to
correspond with tho number ot the
blank which he has signed is then
given to him.
After a tedious delay tbe passenger
riacbesthe dock and then presents hi J
check to the chief inspector, who de
tails a fubnidlnste to s e whether the
passenger has rierjured himself.
This Is a chilling welciuue to tbe land
of the free.
A lady onlv recently returned from a.
prolorgid Continental trip declares,
alter going through tbe Cualoui House
at New Yoik, that it was the only un
pleasant exiierience sbe bad ever haul in
a custom boue. and tbe no4t disagree
able incident Iu the entire journey. All
Americana returnlna-to tbe United States
from a journey in Europe complain In
tbe most emphatic teiws of tbe cuatom
house aunoyances.
The dread of a aslcknes sis mild com
pared with tbe horrors of tbe New York
Custom Iloiiw, where tbe trunks are
not only ransacked but where, a ship
load of passenger Is often forced to ru
inate over night la Jersey City because
tbe customs otticUU refuse to examine
their baggage. When tbe Inspector Is
secured courtesy is not always extended
if anything Is discovered which he
thinks is dutiable. Generally he does
not know. Any per cent, of the pur
chasing value is charged, and tbe Gov
erntueut does aot always receive tbe
w bole amount.
No doubt much smuggling Is done.
Tbls could be largely corrected if more
judgment were used, but travelers are
treated like criminals, which leads
them to "declare" nothing aad to claim
all as "personal."
It is niiat unreasonable to suppose
tbat traveler will aot buy for them
Mrlus and friends soate of the thousand
sad oae charmusg things seen ia the
shops abroad things which Ameruu
does not produce aad by purchasing
these the American workman U n
iajured. It is equally unreasonable to
suppose that any oae will "declare"
ibtse small things. Sometimes where
aa over coecitUious person does "de
clare" tbtiu a moat alwurd duty i
charge d.
Why should the officers not be
obliged to furnish a list of the dutiable
articles aad the duty upon each v Why
should the traveler he obliged to pay
the duty asked? These officers are
aot sufficiently clever to remember all
the rates. What chance has a person
who way be going to a remote part of
the country to enter a protest or re
claim the aioney v
The fatigue of waiting for aeveral
hours upon the dock, aad the annoy
ance of seeing the con tenia of a weu
arransed trunk turned upside dews arc
bad taougb, but nre a aothlng coat
pared to the feeling that oae ia being
swindled and ia powerless to reason

The English would not stand aui h a
