All the European coun tries having commercial torests in Brazil did all they could to defeat the purpose of reciprocity with that country Everywhe the fact was res copt by the democratic party, that the United States had made o commereial move of the greatest significance, which threatened to in time (lispossess Europeans of theiv domination of the trade of South and Central A This policy the democratic party, of course, opposed, and it was abandoned without the countries with which we had made reciprocity arrange- ments. No consideration whatever iven to their feeling in the matter or to any obligation this country might be under them. This action was taken with the full knowledge of the benefits which had been derived from reciprocity and the abundant assurance of prospective advantages. The facts were 1o every v oand they were upon the attention of the congress with all the earnestness which the situation de manded. But veciprocity was a republi- can plan, it was not in line with the economic policy of the party in power, therefore, regardle of the good it had done and promised to do, it had to be sacrificed. Can there be any question that our agricultural interests have been injured by its abandonment, and probably the manufacturing interests also? Immediately after the reciprocity arrangement with Spain ended our ude with Cuba fell off to even less n it had been before the arrange. ment and there is not a country with which we had reciprocity that is not buying less of us now than while that policy was in operation.

According to a Washington dispateh to a Néw York paper the secrotary of state has prepared instruetions to Am. bassador Bayard the effect of which will be to f the Venezuelan bound ary dispute to an issue. It is said that the British government is to be in formed that this country will not con sent to British occupation of the dis puted territory in Venezuela unless the right to do so shall be established by arbitration and that the instructions will contain a distinet avowal of a de- termination on the part of the United States not to submit to any violation of the Monroe doctrine. Efforts of the representative of the Associated press to obtain any information on the sub- Jeet warrants a doubt wheth the report has any substantial founda. But at any rate there that the matter may at sume geave importance, requiving all the skill of diplomacy to avert a con- flict. Our government has already taken | a position regarding it from which it | cannot recede without loss of dignity and If-respect. The persistent effort to induce the British government to | submit the dispute to arbitration was | in itself a virtual tion on the part of t government that it did not re (gard the British claim as being just, and it would seem that we must choose now between a complete backdown and an insistence upon arbitration, The British government, on the other hand, has unqualifiedly des ed that it will not submit the dispute to arbitration, that is, so far as it relates to the ter ritory originally and for many MAPS |claimed by Great Britain, and is | too mueh to expect any recession | this attitude. Venezuel will make no concession. Having got- ten the United States to espouse her cause she feels pretty secure in her position and it is possible will be dis- posed rather to aggravate the issue as to n be no doubt any time as- | 1880 ¥ it from it is evident, | tre than to contribute to a peaceful ad- authority to it anything in the nature of an ultimatum and congress may act on the matter as it sees fit, re- ardless of anything the administeation shall do.

The plain truth is that the free silver craze, and it was never anything else but a craze born of industrial depression, has run its course. It is the old story of the greenback agitation When that was at its height it scemed as though the country were about to be plunged | into the ocean of an unlimited and irredecm- able paper currency. Both statesmen and politiclans were swept along with the tide, and had it not been for the courageous good ense of Prosident Grant there is no telling hat might have happened. But after his veto of the inflation bill the people rapidly recovered from their temporary madness, and resumption was assured. The fres silver in- sanity never at its worst reached the height attained by the greenback movement. It met the opposition of another sensible and courageous president, who would listen to ng compromises, but who insisted upon the absolute and unconditional repeal of mis- chievous silver legislation. He had his way and the result has been so good that the peo- ple are beginning to be very tired of hearing about the “wrongs” of silver.

M Faure {8 not to travel direct to St. Peters b but is first to visit Holland, Desmark weden and Norway, accompanied by a French naval fleet, and the program is.alsc to include a grand display of the combined French, Russian and Danish fleet at Coper hagen. The visit of the French president to Rugsia would, of course, mean a return visit to France of tho Russian czar. Such even would seem strangely anomalous, althou the real light in which Europe is sur fock upon them would be as a direct menace to England, Germany, Austria and Italy. 1f thera shonid a_naval demonstration in Danish waters, both England and Germany ould be compelled to meet it with a counter demonstration, and such rival displays cer- tatnly do not conduce to peace or friendship, of the T Ly well chur ing nch repub. liked the classes of his own country and th crowned heads of Burope.

He was minister of marine in the Dupuy gov- ernment, whaa he instituted some useful re- forms. Few Frenchmen took a keener inter- est than he in the naval engagements of the Japanese war, and cuttings from every Bu- ropean paper whose opinion was of value were translated and laid on the desk each morning for his. perusal. He Is fond of vachting, and should an official invitation be sent him to visit Cowes during the regatta week next year there will be an end to the misunderstanding between France and Eng- land for some time to come, $o far as the president is concerned. e Stould no nihilistic bomb cut short the career of Nicholas IT of Russia, his reign will be signalized in Muscovite history by the accomplishment of two stupendous projects, namely, the completion of the Trans-Siberian ratiroed and the connection of the Black sea with the Baltic by means of a canal large enough to admit of the passage of the iron- clads of heaviest tonnage In the ezar's navy. he plan for the canal has now been ofii- 1y promulgated, and work is to be begun without delay. Its point of departure is to be at Riga, and its course, #0 far as possi- ble, that of the Dwina, the Beresina and the Dricper, termianting at Kherson. Its mini- mum depth s to be 30 feet, its bottom width 100 feet, with a surface breadth of twice as much, while its length is estimated at 1,000 The work will take, it is asserted, vears to complate, and will entail a cost of 200,000,000 rubles. The canal will be fur- nished with electrie light, and at the regu- lation rate of seven miles an_ hour, day and night, about six days will be required to traverse it. While the main object of this glgantic waterway is admittedly strategle, it 5 calculated to exersise an important in- fluence upon trade and commerce, in such a manner as to interest the United States For it will enable the Russian wheat dealers to convey their grain far more cheaply, and onsequently in larger quantities, to the sea- ports, thereby increasing the competition with American wheat in the markets of Europe. e The decision of the Fronch cabinet to use Senegalese and Houssa troops as re-enforce- 1eiis In Madegascar will be regarded as a al admission that the climute has pro- need great ravages among the French forces, The fever developed in the island has, ac- cording to one account, produced an aver- of 30 per cent sick throughout the whole There is much complaint, too, of a lack of proper means of taking care of the kK, which is all the stranger considering that this has been the subject of much study for a quarter of a century. It Is also de clared that there has never been a proper regard for the opinions and the aid of office who served in the campalgn of ten years ag All this recalls the complaints mado during the Tonquin campaign. There is really no reason yet apparent why the French should not reach Antananarivo, in spite of their losses from sicknoss, as they meet with only feeble resistance from the Malagasy troops. As to the employment of Senegalese nd Houssas, that is ace rding to the well estab- lished rule of European nations, who like in such campaigns, to expose a minimum of their own soldiers either to fever or the bullst where native or other auxiliaries can be hired.
