FOREIGN nations one by one


FOREIGN nations one by one are
raising the tariff duty OH imports in
order TO increase revenue and protect
home industry. Taking into consider
alton the Importance and wealth of
England and the United States, the
former may be said to represent the idea
Of free trade, while the latter repre-
sents protection. Therefore, when so
many nations are approaching the poll
cy of protection, it may be said that
the American idea is growing in the
civilized world. Per contra, England
and her ideas of free trade are waning
in influence.
Looking over the list of nations
which have been either instituting or
increasing tariff duties within the last
year only, we find them to be Canada,
Germany, France, Russia, Sweden,
Spain and Switzerland. Who says that
the ideas of the youngest nation in the
world do not exert a powerful influence
over those whose history is lost in the
widowed centuries of the forgotten?
Protection is self preservation. 1t is
the highest law of nature and the
hottest law of nations.

A COMMITTEE of the New York leg
islature is investigating the charges Of
freight determinations in railway man
agement in that state says the Chicago
Journal. Mr.. Villas, general freight
agent of the Erie road, was questioned
yesterday, and the information was
elected that the three %eveners," whose
duties were TO see that the trunk lines
had their agreed proportion of the live
stock traffic from Chicago east, receiv-
ed S15 per car for such services. Mr..
Sterne, Of the committee, said he had
figures showing that in twenty-seven
months, Mr.. Morris, Erie's ''evener,"
received 100000 for his share of the
apportioning work. The amount paid
to the three ''eveners" was estimated
by one member of the committee at
81, 900. The ''evener'' system was
broken up, because unsatisfactory. 1t
was an outrageous tax upon the live
stock interest, as well as upon the rail
roads

proposed route. 1t was ali angles and
curves. 1t went south a short distance,
then directly raS; south again. and III
turn ran to nearly every point on the
compass. The car gazed at it for a
moment, and after contemplating the
disgusting looking zig-zag course, pick
ed a pen and ruler and drew a straight
line on 1.-THE map, from st. Petersburg
to.Moscow. THAT is the route / want'''
said his majesty.
"Impossiblel Impracticable!'' cried
out the engineers, with some feeling.
"Can't you build the road straight"
demanded the car.
at cannot be done, your majesty"
replied the chief of the engineers.
"BHt it must be done" insisted the
car.
And the Winans of Baltimore were
forthwith employed by the car, and
the road was built in Il straight line.
Tunnels, cuts and bridges made the
thing successful.
DeLesseps and the French who are
furthering the project of a Darien
canal, might profit by this incident.
They are welded to the scheme of
making miles Of tunnels at enormous
expense when a level route is practical
BILE by following the line of the Pana-
ma railroad. True, the railroad COM
pany would demand.a heavy sum for
the right of way, but the concern could
be bought outright for a less sum of
money than is required to complete the
plan of shooting ships through the
bowels of mountains.
Capt. Eads, than whom no more emf
nent or able engineer lives, holds to the
views of the LEADER, that it is better
to follow a level line and pay big for the
privilege, for it would be an immense
saving of time and money. However,
the French seem embedded in their
own plans, and it is not at all inproba-
BILE that prospective contractors are in
terested in having the most costly route
completed.
The canal can he built on the
level and in a straight line. Then let
our engineers stick to that line~if it
takes all summer to convince the
Frenchmen.

THE Bonapartists of France will
take much comfort in the fact that the
court of Vienna has gone into mourn
ing on account of the death of the
prince imperial. They will believe
that the sympathy of that empire was
and is with the restoration. But there
is nothing strange in that. The great
powers of Europe would all prefer see
ing France as a kingdom or an empire
in preference to a prosperous republic.
Republican ideas are disseminated
throughout Europe in consequence and
the longer the republic exists the weak
er the thrones become. 1t is only nat
ural, therefore, that royal rulers should
welcome the downfall of self govern
ment and tine restoration of royalty.

THE experience of Chicago OF sun
day last with an irresponsible military
company, justihes the enactment of
the militia law which will soon distrand
all such organizations. Those who
compose the army of independent COM
panies are rank communists and are
banded together for no other purpose
than to override law and society when
ever they can find the opportunity.
All law abiding citizens of Illinois will
heave a hearty sigh of relief when these
armed lunatics shall have their fangs
extracted.

PRINCE NAPOLEON has given the
world to know that he has no ambi-
tious designs on the throne Of imperial
France, either for himself or his son
Not permitting himself to vitalize any
scheme for a restoration, he refuses
permission to his sons. He still ad-
heres to his announced principles, that
he is a democrat and believes in main
tanning the republic of France. Should
the Bonapartes persist in maintaining
the organization of their party they
must have a candidate for the throne.
There is none left now but Col. Jerome

In THE language of Clip, Weston is
''the boss" of all pedestrians. Not
only has he succeeded in bringing the
championship belt to America for the
second time, but he has far eclipsed
the record of any pedestrian in the
world. Such marvellous endurance dis
played by Weston in this match, after
his numerous and disgusting failures,
is well calculated to pitch the man to
the topmost pinnacle of sportsmen's es-
timation. Besides the honors, Weston
wins a big stake, a big pile of gate
money, and a big bet of $4,000 from
Sir John Ashley. He is truly well
heeled.

THE Corsicans cannot forget the
Bonapartes. At a recent election held
on the island, Pietre, who was the
chamberlain of Empress Eugene, was
elected a senator against the republican
candidate, Tommassi. There is no
wide significance in the choice, how
ever, as the island is a very small part
of the republic. and it is not likely to
produce another family of Bonapartes,
anyhow.

An Egyptian Obelisk for America.

The first page Of the New York
World of last Tuesday prints II cut of
the Alexandrian shaft, mate to the
Cleopatra Needle which was recently
transported to and set up in London,
and in connection, the following inter
esting statement:
We have the great satisfaction of In
forming our readers that the negoti-
ations begun at the instance of the
World eighteen months ago for the
purpose of securing to the city of New
York the grand obelisk now standing
at Alexandria, in Egypt, have been
brought to a successful termination,
and that his highness the khedive has
most ~graciously and literally offered
this magnificent monument to the
great commercial metropolis of the
new world. The Official papers an
nouncing the Ct of these negoti-
ations have been received at the state
department and the necessary arrange
ments for bringing the obelisk here and
setting it up in some conspicuous pub
lie place, to be IN ornament and an
honor to the city forever, having been
long ago provided for by the splendid
liberaIity of a single citizen of New
York, the business details of the trans
fer will be prosecuted with all proper
and possible celebrity.
This monumental relic, brought
across the sea and landed safely in
New York, would certainly constitute
one of the leading sights of themetrop-
oils. The monolith is seventy feet in
height, and is covered with curious
hieroglyhics, which indicate an age of
from 5000 to A. 900 years.

The Santa Clara Valley Mill and Lum-
Der Company are preparing the wood
work for the outside and inside finish
ing, Of which the following account is
from the San Jose Mercury: In the

East and secured the wood to be used,
the greater portion Of which cost at

pally of rosewood. mahogany, birdseye
maple. satin. white holly and oak.
These woods are cut and polished at
the mill, engaged in which task
alone there are over seventy FIVE men
embracing the best wood artisans on
the coast. All the woods are highly
polished, some so beautifully bright
that they act III the capacity Of mir
ror. AS an evidence of the elegance of
the work, few of the parts of the res
i1ence TO be finished are given. and the
manner and style in which the work is
to be done The main hall and stair
case are to be finished in bright mahog-
any; the reception and fdrswing rooms

mavers wood; and the blinds of white
holly. There never came into this
State before such elcgsn. and costly

world have furnished their contribu--
tions. The work has been done slowly
