Forty One Years Old,

with the beginning of the present
number THE HERALD enters upon its
forty-first year. For forty years it has
brought weekly messages to the greater
number of the homes of Grant county,
Messages of joy and sorrow, of the be-
ginnings by which the foundations of a
great county were laid, of the after pros
perity and widening circles of business
interests.
The past is an open book from which
every one who chooses may read.
Looking down the dim perspective of
years THE HERALD will be seen advanc-
ing with the interests of which it is a
part. Always abreast of the most pro-
gressive thought it has aimed to repre-
sent this thought in such a way as to
to bring its brightest gems before its
readers.
Whether amid the clangor of war or
in the calm quietude of peace THE
HERALD has been found fighting fear
lessly for the right and supporting those
principles which have made of this
country one of the grandest the sun
has ever shone upon.
Back of and coincident with this it has
aimed to be paper for the home fire.
side, a visitor for whom welcome place
is always reserved. How well it has
succeeded we leave for others to judge.
If a constantly growing circulation
reaching now up in the thousands, and
friendly words of cheer, are any indica-
ton of success THE HERALD has sue
ceeded
For forty years it has been an honest,
fearless, independent supporter of such
thought and principles as would, in its
opinion, bring the greatest good to the
greatest number; and thus it has become
almost one of the institutions of the
country. During these forty years filled,
with its weekly recurring periods, when

PRESIDENTIAL.

A canvass of 344 points in thirty EIGHT States
has shown The Neir- York Times that at present
James @. Blaine is, far ahead of any other, the
favorite among the people for the Republican
nomination for the Presidency and that next,
though greatly behind, comes General Arthur.
Neither of these Presidential preferences is at
present in shape to make itself felt in Ma
tional Convention, and it is doubtful II either
ever will be. But both are interesting as con-
firmations of opinions long since formed by
careful observers
AS soon as the people saw the President try
ing to represent the party that elected him and
not merely one faction OF it, they sYmpathized
with and applauded him ; and there il no doubt
that he stands better to-day before the Country
than ut any previous period in his whole official
career. AS for Sir. Blaine, there has been no
time since 1875 when he was not easily the
most popular American in public life. The ut
tacks upon him have only increased the public
regard. till even his enemies discover and pro-
claim the fact. If he chose he could he
stronger Presidential candidate now than h'
was in 1876 OF in 1880. But it is known that
he has peremptorily refused to be considered
a candidate, or to let his friends work for him.
He has now been out of public life for nearly
half Presidential Administration. He says
he has no desire to return, and has found new
and congepial work in which he is engrossed.

of business on the canals. Thus In the last
week In June 5000 more tons were moved
than dur,n g the corresponding week in 1857.
In commenting upon this increase me
Rochester Union calls attention to the signifi-
cant fact that 1T is made up of articles which
were not on the free list last year. Corn ad-
vances from 1914 tens last year to 3l,oo3
this year; anthracite coal from 4O,S94 tons 70
COLA tons. The gain during the first week
in July was not so large, but it was large
enough to crafty the advocates OF the new
policy. The number of tons moved was
172, 612; during the same week last year the
figures were 1885 TONS This increase OF
29,O47 tons is made up principally of wheat,
which shows an advance of 1898 bushels.
Of course it is too early as yet to pass iudg-
ment upon the practical working OF the new
policy. 1t will be time enough to do that when
the business of the entire season Is analysed
and the test comparisons are instituted. But
already the friends Of the policy have reason
to feel gratified. 1t certainly does look, In the
light of the net results up to date, as If freeing
the canals had saved them.

THE NEW CANAL POLICY.

When the proposition looking to an entire
abandonment of tolls upon the canals was
being discussed, its opponents laid great
stress upon the fact that the reduction OF tolls
in the past had not been followed 10y an i'll
crease in tonnage. Tolls were reduced in 1858
and 1859 to an unusually low figure. Last
wear all Western-bo freight went free. But
none of these expedents, they argued, justified
expectation by increasing business. Reasoning
from the premises thus furnished, the anti-free-
toll men reached the conclusion that to remove
tolls altogether would not benefit the canals.
The friends of the policy replied that the alter
native presented was either free canals or an
absolute abandonment of the canals; and that
there was good reason in the nature OF things
for believing that the experiment which they
advocated would be successful. When re-
minded that low tolls did not bring up the ton
mage in 1s5S-'59 or in later years. their answer
was that the conditions had since changed 80
materially as to render the lesson Of experience
of small account.
The canals have now been run free of tolle
since they were opened, on the 7th Of May last.
What has been the result-to justify or to con-
denim tho new policyf For the frat week the
total number of tons of freight moved was
2l6,1O9, against 147, OLA during the first week
of last year. Here we have gain of over 40
per cent. Business continued to show graft
flying increase during the next two weeks, but
in the last week in May there was falling of.
Tho number of tons moved was 205, 492,
against 220, BIT in 1882. Since May nearly
all the comparative statements that have been
officially furnished stand for marked revival
