The New York correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Ledger says: There is an
urgent desire on the part Of the business
community that Congress should have
final action on the tariff as speedily as
possible, as, pending the present uncer-
tainty. no merchant or importer can tell
what his goods may be worth thirty or
sixty DAYS hence. Trade for the time be-
ing is quite stagnant, and there will be
no movement OF magnitude in any descrip
tiOn of merchandise until the existing
suspense is renewed. The merchants, as
"A class. care less about what the new
schedules are TO be than that there should
De an end. as quickly as possible, to tin
kering legislation" Ii is saddening to
think that the business interests lose
faith in the grand old party. Now, if
HubbelI quits it, what viii become of it:
IN recent memorial to Congress the
Utah Gentiles say: 1.-The Mormon people
regard the past efforts of the National
Government as weak and futile, and as in
dicating that the government is not in
earnest in its ayOwed intention of sup
pressing pOlygamy and priestly domina-
ton in civil affairs in Utah. The laws
already enacted have served only as
gentle irritant. have consolidated the peO
pie, strengthened the control Of the Nor
mon priests Oyer their followers, and failed
10 diminish the celebration of pOlygamOus
marriages, for the reason that they regard
the church as superior to the govern
ment." If this is a correct statement Of
the effect Of recent legislation it is Obvi-
Gus that pOlygamy must be let severely
alone. or else be rooted out by less gentle
means than have hitherto been tried.

Work ON the eastern and western ex-
tensions of the Canadian Pacific Railroad
is progressing slowly. Track-building Is
going ON in both directions from Winni-
peg. the purpose being to lay rails, on one
hand. around Lakes superior and Huron
into Ontario. and, on the other, across the
Rocky Mountains into British Columbia.
This is more creditable TO the patience
than the enterprise Of the Canadians, for
il looks as though time when the roads
will pay would be remote.

The exact magnitude of our pension list
is very clearly shown by a comparison
which the Boston Herald makes between
it and the British list. Though Great
Britain has not had a war during the past
quarter of century that can compare in
magnitude with our war of the COnfedera-
cy, ii must be remembered that she has been
engaged in war all that time in some
country or another; that she has the
retiring pensions to meet for cOnsidera-
BILE standing army and the strongest navy
in the world, and that she has always
been regarded as very lavish in payment
Of her army and navy. The total of British
army pensions amount to $1O,317, SO; of
naval pensions TO 1922, go; or a total of
$l6,2f4, SO. After our arrears of pensions
have been fully adjusted, the burden upon
the tax payer will amount to about $64,-
100000 per annum, and the propositions
now pending, if adopted, would add $780,
100000 more. For a country which boasts
its immunity from wars and the buTdens
OF great standing armies, this is most GER
tainly very remarkable showing.

The buncOmbe speech of ex-governor
Brown. of Tennessee, on the Florida ca
nal last year is brought to mind by the
application of his company now before
the Legislature of Florida, asking for
10000 acres of land, instead of ST, 0OO,-
600, as the printer made us say in our sat
urday's issue. In his grand sweep of
Imagination for it was only Imagination
the Ex-Governor formed a mighty circle
of navigation around the world, and
placed his Florida ship canal right in the
circle as a potent segment connecting
with the Panama isthmus canal. Perhaps
so small an irregularity as that of one or
two thousand miles out of the way in so
grand a circle, like the mountains ridging
the sphere Of the earth, ought not to be re-
gar,led as materially affecting the grand
circle: but in navigation, where so much
labor and money are to he expended, men
will count time, labor and expense. In
an economical point of view, therefore,
the peninsula ship canal does not appear
to SO great advantage in the circle. A
ship starting out from London or
any European port. or any American
Atlantic port on Mr.. Browns circle
around the world, to utilize his canal,
would have to sail southwest until his
canal was passed, and then turn about
and sail somewhere in the neighbOrhood
of twelve hundred miles southeast to enter
the Panama canal-almOst exactly de-
scribing the zigZag letter L. This shows
that the Panama Canal is east of the pc
ninsula OF Florida, a fact which, per-
haps. had not attracted the attention of
the Florida ship canal people at the time
of Mr.. Browns grafton.
No European ship, or ship from any
other Atlantic port bound for the Panama
Canal, would have any business five
hundred miles out of her course unless
she was on a pleasure excursion with
plenty of time, and her passengers desired
to see what energy and money had been
expended to isolate the sunny peninsular.

The message of GOV. Begole, of Michi-
gan. in some respects, Is unique. He OBJ
iects to the title of Governor as ''harsh
and inappropriate, and thinks his position
would be more clearly defined if he were
called principal servant" He favOrs an
insane asylum for criminals, chiefly be-
cause too many evil-doers are adjudged in
sane on the testimony of experts, appa-
rently SO called from their possessing less
knowledge than the average citizen" He
also very sensibly thinks 1.-The multiplicity
Of ever-changing text books one of the
most annoying eXcrescences that have
been forced on our educational system"

A Beautiful THOUGHT When the sum.
mer of youth is slowly wasting away on the
nighttall ofage, and the shadow of the path
becomes deeper, and life wears to its close,
it is pleasant to look through the vista OF
time upon the sorrows and felcties of our
early years. If We have had home TO
shelter and hearts to rejoice with us, and
friends have gathered around our iireside,
the rough places of wayfaring will have
been worn and smoothed away in the twi-
light of life, and many dark spots we have
passed through will grow brighter and more
beautiful. Happy indeed are those whose
intercourse with the world has not changed
the tone of their holer feelings, or broken
those musical chords of the heart whose Vi
brations are so melodious, so tender and so
touching i'll the evening oftheir lives.
