ANKENY'S DESIRE.

He Has a Great Big Ambition to
Be Mayor of Minneapolis Next
Time.
1t has been more than common rumor
for some time that the Ankeny brothers,
of Minneapolis, were behind the move
ment to have DR.. Ames renOminated for
governor. Their sudden sympathy for
one whom they had opposed so bitterly
in the postofflce appointment was mex
plainable. Local Democrats, who had
known of the Ankeny obligation to Mr..
Doran, viewed with wonder their sudden
avowaI of love for DR.. Ames. They began
with talking him up for vice president,
then for governor, and last, SO it is now
said, desire to make him chairman of
the delegation to the st. Louis conven-
tion. The doctor, as he has said himself,
has not been organizing for any kind of
campaign, simply announcing that he

CoSGREss ought to repeal the inter
nal revenue law entirely, which was
war measure imposing taxes upon to-
bacco. malt and spirituous liquors, etc
1t has been taken off many things
from time TO time until only the to-
bacco and liquor tax remains. It
should now be repealed, and no in
ternal tax imposed al all upon tobac-
60 in any of its forms. The internal
tag now imposed upon malt and
splritRous liquors by the National
Government should be transferred to
States aud Territories TO be collected
by them according TO its consumption,
and the revenue derived therefrom
applied as a relief from local taxa
ton This will be equivalent to Dir:
BIaine'5 proposition 70 distribute
the revenue arising from the inter-
nal tax upon malt and spirituous
liquors among the States. The bet
ter plan might be for Congress to so
modify the internal revenue law as
to turn the tax on beer and spiritu-
Gus liquors over to the States and
Territories within which 1t is collect
ed, to be applied as state revenue,
less the expense of collection, to be
distributed as each commonwealth
might determine. This revenue. so
far IS 1t went, would be equivalent to
liquor license. or state taxation upon
the liquor traffic. This plan would
lessen the surplus accumuIatirg IN
the National treasury many millions
annually. Besides, it would not pre-
clude the States from enac5ing a
license law in conformity with this
measure should any desire to increase
the license revenue And again,
this would not Interfere with com
muni;ies that desire local option.
OF course, in such event they might
not expect to receive the benefits of
any distribution which the states
might make. However this could be
adjusted by State and Territorial en-
actments, The main idea of such a
plan is that the liquor traffic shall,
as non-essentiai commodity, les
sen the burdens Of local taxation,
inasmuch as the general government
no longer needs it.

The long talked of lease Of the
Oregon Railway & Navigation Com
pany to the Union, and to the North
ern Pacific Railroad Company, jointly,
was finally eonsumated in New York
on the 18th instant by the action of
the boards of directors of the COM
panys interested. This action gives
the Northern Pacific large advant-
age, so far as Washington Territory
is concerned, over the Union Pacific
system, as, under the terms of the
lease, the Snake river is the division
of territory. Hence, all the COM
merce north of that line, will be
tributary to Puget Sound, including
the Ceur d'Alene mining region, the
Palouse and Big Bend wheat regions,
and the vast mining regions of
Clealum and the Salmon country;
thus leaving Oregon and Walla
Nalla valley commerce as tributary
to Portland over the Union Pacific
system Eesides, under the terms of
the lease, any time, the Northern Pa
cific fails to pay its equal share of
the six per cent. rental, the Union
Pacific has to pay it. Thus. in few
years the Northern Pacific could alb
rogate its contract, by failure to pay
its proportion of the six per cent.

Cleveland Democracy will end its
ease of government next November.
The government of the United
States should take notice that the
British government is expending
large sums of money for military
and naval Notifications along the
coast of its Provinces of this CONT
nent. 1t has gone so far as to re-
new its request of the Dominion
government of Canada to increase
the amount heretofore fixed to be
contributed annually as a fund for
the defense of that country, which
now amounts to twenty five cents
per capita OF the population of the
Dominion. This fund was the out
come of the confederation of the
Canadian Provinces some twenty
years ago, through which the British
government was then to withdraw
the imperial troops and transfer the
military property owned by the Brit
ish government to the Dominion, on
condition that the latter government
would expend annually for defense
purposes the sum of $I,000,000.
This agreement was dead letter
with the Dominion until recently the
London government required its
fulfillment, and also imposed an in
creased annual payment to a sun

sidered by the Dominion Parliament
at the bidding of the imperial gov
erument this winter, and the re-
quired appropriation will likely be
voted, to create strong coast fortified
tons. While this action, coming
from tho British government may
not be taken as direct menace, yet
it is sufficient for the United States
government to consider the situation
and TO establish the means-naval
ship yard, armory, etc, on the Paei-
fic coast-by which it can promptly
meet any emergency, should it arise.
The extensive Notifications which are
already being establish ia British Co
lumbia just over the line, are doubtless
in pursuance of England's purpose
not only TO hold its possession on this
continent in case of conflict; but
should the emergency ever arise, Sc
cure the mastery through conquest.
This idea may appear chimerical,
but when strong foreign power,
whose possessions of land and water
skirt our entire northern frontier, is
preparing to point its big guns at us
in times of peace, it is, at least, a
warning for this government to cast
its eye along its borders and consid-
er the situation should an open me
mace or invasion of its domain be
made. The fishery question may be a
factor in Great Britain's activity in
war like preparations. Besides, it
now has a transcontinental line of
railroad extending from the Atlantic
to the Pacific in addition to its water
lines of communication from the At
lantic. Thus England's foothold on
the north is growing stronger and
may become dangerous if ouI gov
ernment remains idle and Indifferent
as to its defenses- Puget Sound
should have naval ship yard and
station.

is that the Olympian will run be

cause of the difficult entrance to the
