Thus we are enabled to giye our customers the benelit of the LOWEST PEICES. A lot of "slush" has been and is being written about liio necessity of amending our Constitution so as to enable the Federal Government to extend, in the several States, greater protection to the subjects of foreign countries therein residing. Nothing of the kind is needed or should be for a moment tolerated; the general Government aiready has quite enough power, many think entirely too much, over the internal affairs of the States. There is no State in the Union that does not give the foreign subjects precisely the same protection extended to native American citi zens; more they have no right to ask. The Constitution of the United States was not framed upon European mod els nor after European ideas, and we do not believe that it will ever be changed because of European clamor, not even if Italy should be joined by every nation in Europe. The Indians are rather choice. It is stated that they refuse to enlist in the army unless allowed to join the cavalry branch of the .service. They have evidently never bean! the song that was mote r less familiar in the Virginia trenches during the late ir, the chorus of which was, If you want to go to bell just jine de alvary." Rhone's reciprocity eggs are not atching very fast, notwithstanding is perseverance in sticking constant ,' to the nest. Perhaps that bad boy Bill McKinley, who isn't very much n love with either reciprocity or its foster father, may have been chang ing these eggs. Here's one specially for republican editors: If the tariff isn't a tax paid by consumers how is it that sugar became cheaper as soon as the duty on it was removed? Take your time gentlemen, in answering this. If any doubt existed as to why Charley Foster was made .Secretary of the Treasury it has been swept away by recent occurrences. lie was selected to be commander-in-chief of ne Harrison forces, and to so manip- ulate the immense patronages of the 'rcasury department as to make Mr. Iarrison's renoniiuation by his party a certainty, and he is doing it to the lull extent of his ability. Mr. Harrison has asserted his au thority and put a break on Mr. Blaine's reciprocity policy, as far as it relates to Canada, by peremptorily ordering the Secretary of the State not.to enter upon even informal nego tiations with the Canadian Commis sioners until it shall suit his (Harri son's) convenience to be present and to take part therein. What makes this action all the more humiliating to Mr. Blaine is that he had agreed, and appointed a time, to listen to an nformal presentation of the views of the Canadian goverment on this sub ject, and the representatives of Can ada were already in Washington for that purpose when the Harrison veto was given to him. It seems to us that in addition to being a snub to Mr. Blaine this action on the part of Mr. Harrison woe decidedly discour teous to Canada, and a discourtesy thatjwas entirely uncalled for. It would have neither injured nor com mitted this country to have heard the informal propositions of the Ca nadians, and, unless Mr. Harrison has entirely lost confidence in his Secretary of State, there is no good reason why he should personally lis ten to these propositions. Secretary Foster acknowledges that there will be no Treasury surplus next year. Itepublican editors will please take notice. Mr. Blaine's intercontinental mon etary conference was a decided fail ure, as far as results are concerned. All admitted the desirability of a coin that weuld circulate in all American countries at thesame vlue,but it was shown that the difficulties in provid ing such a coin are at the present time insurmountable. Mr. Harrison travels on free spec ial trains. When Mr. Cleveland was President and wished to go any- wnerc ne nongni a ticket just as or dinary people always do. Xo com ment is necessary. I. .
