We suppose that to Kemmler, the con-
demned New York murderer now awaiting
execution, the investigation into the sum
cheney Of the electrical apparatus designed
to supplant the gallows il a very solemn
affair, but to people with less personal
interest it appears to be screaming
farce. The apparatus has succeeded In
killing dogs and horses with neatness
and despatch, but this Is not consd-
cred a sufficient demonstration that it will
kill man. Almost every day some luckless
electric light employee selzss anlnprotected

Inc opposition Of the enemies of the bond
Ing system has for the most part been direct
ed to what is known as the coastinp trad,
along the border, that is, the TRANSPORTATION
from one American point to another. Their,
mas been comparatively little opposition r.

sought to put upon the same footing as the
water coasting trade In which none bui
American vessels are allowed to participate
ana IL 1t were an original proposition. that
is II IL did not seek to change policy that
mas existed for more than half century. and
on the strength of which American towns
and cities and individuals have invested
large sums of money a large part of which
would be lost by a change, the argument
that the coasting trade along our border
should follow the rule Of the coasting trade
along the water line would be unanswerable.
Inc bonding of goods for this trade, how
ever, the President Of the Castine railway
company does not object to, but only to goods
originating in this country and designed for
export.
New England is deeply interested In the
retention OF the bonding systom, but she is
not powerful enough to maintain 1t without
assistance. She must have the aid of the
Northwest. But the Northwest is interested
In getting low rates Jon grain to Liverpool,
and would care little about the bonding
privilege If it were restricted as Mr. Dever-
eaux suggests.

permitted to flow in its natural channels.
urain destined for Europe coming across the
country will seek Portland and Castine rath-
er than Halifax and St. John il left to seek

ment understands that perfectly we'll and
that fact is really the secret of the subsidies
to the railroads. These subsidies ara tho
means by which the Canadians are soorino
to divert commerce from its natural chan
nels They have accomplished very little in
that direction as yet, and there is little pros
pect that they will accomplish anything in
the future unless we assist, as we shall bv
denying the bonding privilege. There are
abundant signs too that this subsidy system
is nearing its end. The burden it imposes
on the people of Canada is becoming greater
than they can stand, and the whole system
must soon fall to the ground of its own
weight.

No stronger declaration in favor OF contin-
uing the bonding system has been given the
Interstate commerce committee than that
by the Chicago Board of Trade. Inasmuch
as the 800" lines bid fair to draw off good
deal Of the traffic of the Northwest. which
formerly went South to Chicago and was
distributed from that city, this declaration is
the more remarkable. There was stroug
temptation to attempt to cripple the $500
lines by cripple the Canadian Pacific. but the
Chicago Board of Trade seems not to have
yielded to it. This declaration, coming as
1t does from Senator Cullom's home, can
hardly fail to make deep impression on
that legislator.
