POLITICAL

The canvass for the republican nomination
for Congress in Kansas !. waxing warm, and a
lively opposition to the denomination Of Sidney
Clarke, the present member, has been developed.
The Bttsbqrg PENN Gazette says Gen.
James &. segley viii, in all probability, receive
8 denomination to Congress from that district
by the unanimous vote of the approaching Re
publican Convention. Thus far no other can
didate has been named for the office
The Republican Convention in whittemore's
district (the first of South Csrolina) has nom
mated Stste Senator Joseph H. Rsiney, color
ell, both for the unexpired term Of the Forty
first and the full term of the Forty second Con-
gress, Whittemore's candidate only got nine
out of thirty. votes Oh an informal ballot.
The Boston Post says there is much to be done
in Massachusetts to place the Democratic ranks
in the most effective position for vigorous con-
test. The home issues are not removed, and the
national issues are matter Of notoriety This
year, besides a Legislature and State ticket,
ten Congressman are to be elected and United
States Senator is to be chosen
An Illinois Democratic candidate for Congress
and present representative, accepted the nomi-
nation of his party for reelection by declaring
as follows 81 do not want the negro to vote
for me. The negro would be fool to vote the
Democratic ticket. Let him stand by his friends.
The Republican party gave him sll his rights.
Let him stand by that party"
The Missouri Democratic State Central Com
mittee have issued circular to the Democrats
of the State, setting forth their reason for recon-
mending that no Democratic State ticket be put
in the field next fall The committee. however,
urge the election of as many Democrats as pos
,ible to the Legislature, but recommend voters
in no case to vote for any one not publicly
pledged in favor of removing all suffrage restric-
tons.
The World warns the Southern democracy
not to elect a member to Congress who cannot
take the oath required by the act of July 2,
1862. If any Southern district elects mem
her who cannot take this oath, it will merely
throw away a seat in the House and vote on
the Democratic side. We shall not be 50 rich in
sests and votes, says the World, that we
can afford to .quandsr them.
The Albany Evening Journal thinks the Ret

The Ashburton Treaty Of 1912 finally settled
what had been a subject of difference for
nearly sixty years. But that treaty did not
settle points in dispute concerning the boun-
Diary line west of the Rock Mountains.
These were left for after consideration, and
they are not settled yet. An attempt to set
tie all questions relating to the Northwestern
boundary was made by the treaty of 1916.
The " filty-four forty, or 6ght'' political war
cry in Folks time was abandoned whether
wisely or not we do not now stop to consider
and by the treaty the boundary line must
run along the 49th parallel of north lati-
tude to the middle of the channel which
separates the continent from VancOuyers Is
land, and thence southerly through the mid
die Of said channel and of Fucas Straits to
the Pacific ocean, This line gave to the
British the whole of Vancouyer's Island, as
was intended and it was intended and I'M
derstood on our part to leave to the United
States group of smaller islands lying south
and east of the straighest, deepest and
,ri9est channel through the middle Of
which the boundary line was to run.
But in process of time the British govern
ment found out that by deviating from this
straghtest, deepest and widest channel into
another one, more crooked, shallOwer and
narrower, it would gain several valuable islands
besides Nancouyers, though triaing in COM
parison with that large one and especially
it would gain one of them, San Juan, valua-
bic for military position. Thereupon 1t
instructed its Commissioner. who was to Join
the L. 5. Commissioner in measuring the
boundary line, that on no account was the
line to run so that San Juan would fall to
the United States. When this was known,
it Of course put stop to the work. 1t
would be absurd to be professedly running
boundary line according to the words OF a
treaty when one of the parties claimed that,
whatever the treaty might say, its interpre-
tation must be made to favor that party's
wishes So there the matter stands 1t Is
said that the late ill-starred Reyerdy John
son treaty contained provision for an arbi-
tration before European power on the mat
ter in dispute, whose decision was to be final,
Our government has had enough of that sort

The Treasury Department and judiciary ap-
pear to be brought into conflict by the decision
OF Judge Blodgett, on Friday last About year
since Mr. Boutwell, instructed collectors Of GUS
toms, in determining the value of goods imported
into the United States, that it should be at the
price such goods were sold for consumption in
the countries where they were produced, without
making allowances for excise taxes not imposed
on goods intended for expectation. A case in
volying the validity of these instructions came
up before Judge Blodgett, of the United States
District Court ofthe District Of Columbia, and
after due examination of the authorities he de-
cided that Mr.. Boutwell, was wrong-that the
proper dutiable value of imported goods is its
value in bold in the country where produced.
no excise tax being laid upon goods exported
The principle of the case is of great Importance
to importers, as it affects the value of import
stions of ties, coffee and many other articles from
European countries which are subject to an e1-
else tax, but which is not chsrgeable on export
alton Of the goods from bonded warehouses. Mr.,
Boutwell,, however, msintains that he has the
authority to determine such questions, and the
case will probably go to the Supreme Court.

The North Western boundary,

The experience of many years has taught
us that wherever it is possible for Great
Britain to raise question on a boundary
line between her territories and those of the
United States, she will raise it, If there is
so much as shadow of a shade that, in the
settlement of it she may, by tedious delays,
disputes about terms, propositions for arbi
tration by some European power, or incau-
tiOus admissions on our part, gain for herself
some coveted possession which, according to
the plain tenor of treaty does not belong
to her, she will surely make the attempt.
The tedious process which had to be gone
through with, before the Northeastern
boundary line could be settled-a process
which brought the two nations to the verge
of war-will readily recur to the mind Of
any one familiar with American history.
