permits no guilty man to escape, or woman
either The other day he called at house and
knocked on the door with his club. mild
looking woman appeared and asked what was
wanted.
DO you keep deg, MADAME" he inquired in
an official tone
No, sir; 1 do not,'' answered the woman,
quietly.
Then your husband or some of your family

Why. no, said the woman, looking troubled;

Inen 1t is my duty to take the dog But YOU

with that he walked into the house past the
woman and took hold of the dog where he sat

Our Relations With Canada.

Canada and this country are on good
terms, but the feeling between them is not
entirely cordial There are little differ
ences which cause more or less irritation.
Ever since the Senate refused to ratify the
fisheries treaty there has been a feeling
both in this country and Canada that
trouble between the two countries was not
improbable
The Canadian cabinet has been consid-
ering several matters lately in which this
country is interested. One of them is the
seal fisheries in Behring sea. Canada thinks
she has a right to take seals in that sea be-
yond a certain distance from the shore, and
she may insist that she has that right 1t
is not probable that this government will
admit that she has.
Lately this government refused to permit
goods to be transported in bond from one
Canadian port TO another Canadian port
over new short line of railway through
Maine. The Canadian cabinet is consider
ing the advisability of retaliatiUg by re-
fusing to permit goods in bond to be carried
over Canadian soil from one United States
port to another United States port.
What the outcome of these complications
will be it is impossible to foresee. The
Canada Pacific railroad and the Canada
canals, it seems, are not anxious for retalia-
ton, because such policy would cost them
an immense amount Of business which they
get from the northwestern states. The
Canada Pacific is the sufferer from the
action Of this government in refusing to
permit goods in bond to be transported
across Maine from one Canadian port TO
another, but it would be still greater
sufferer if retaliatory measures were
adopted.
There is quite number Of questions of q
very important character pending between
this country and Canada, and it is to the
interest of both countries that they shall be
settled speedily. The longer they remain I'M
settled the greater the sources of irritation
they will become. Perhaps a commission
could reach basis OF settlement that would
be satisfactory. A commission or arbitra-
ton should be tried certainly before the
existing differences arouse feeling of Bit
ternesS between the two countries.

The Philadelphia Record says that Secre-
tary Tracy is genuine, straightforward
civil service reformer. 1t says this because
he has declared that he would neither make.

says he. The Record may discover after
awhile that Secretary Tracy does not

In accepting a fourth nomination for
governor of Ohio, Gov. Foraker is nndoubt-
edly playing for the presidency. This will
give Ohio two candidates for the republican
nomination. if Senator Sherman concludes
to try for it again, as doubtless he will.
The question is suggested, would Senator
Sherman be very sorry if Foraker should
be defeated next fall? Defeat at that time
would mean the burial of Foraker's presi

The Cabinet Discusses the FIann ell
Shirt

From the Philadelphia Telegraph.
At the cabinet meeting to-day when the
thermometer registered S90, the grave subject
SAID to have been under discussion was whether
or not cabinet officers might wear flannel shirts
secretary Rusk proposed the subject just after
Mt Blaine had told funny story. 1t had been
on his mind for some time, and he became
eloquent as he enlarged upon the comforts and
beauty of that style of dress. He said that these
shirts were the salvation of farmers in the
harvest field and at the Jhreshing machine. and
That he had never been so happy in his life as
when he wore one-a heavy homespun, none of
your new-tanged, half-silk gauze. Mr.. Blaine
1t is understood, rather approved of the idea
but he thought the soft silk or Grape was better
than the flannel. 1t was too serious "A question,
however, to decide at one meeting whether the
cabinet might be perfectly comfortable if they
chose. But Uncle Jere's description of the com
fort OF the shirt shook the foundation of cabinet
dignity until it tottered But for the cool ap
pearance of Mr. Proctor and the dignity of
Gen. Harrison, it is believed that he would have
secured cabinet sanction of the flannel

Some weeks ago Supt. j. Lowrie Bell was
seized with an ambition to improve the rail-
way mail service, and he kicked democratic
employees out of it as fast as he could This
seemed curious way of making an i'm
provement, but it must be remembered that
about that time the date for applying civil
service rules to the railway mail service
was approaching. aud Mr.. Bell wanted to
put in all tue republicans he could prior to
that time. His appointees don't appear to
have improved the service Complaints of
the railway mail service are being made all
over tie country. For instance, the people
OF a Michigan town say that lately great
deal of annoyance has been experienced by
them because they could not get their let

Weems' Marvellous Motor.

For some months paragraphs have APP
peared now and then in the newspaper,
concerning new railway system by which
mails and light freight may be transported
with a speed much greater than any vet
attained by steam cars, and it was au-
nounced the other day that arrangements
were being made to put the system into
operation. The inventor is Mr.. David &.
Weems, of Baltimore, and the motive power
is electricity. About $50 patents have been
taken out in the United States
and in the other principal coun-
tries of the world, covering the
vital points of the system, and among
Thorn is one for a principle intended to
make it impossible for trains to jump the
track, however great the speed may be.
The road, as rule. will be built on the
surface Of the ground, and will have a
gauge. Of twenty -four inches, but in
populous districts it will be elevated if
thought desirable. The cost Of construc-
ton will be about S., 900 mile All trains
will be operated from generating stations,
about 100 miles apart, and there are means
by which the operators are posted concern.
ing the exact position of each train, from
the time it leaves one station until it
reaches another A feature of the system
is that no attendants are needed upon the
trains.
For the last year repeated experiments of
the system have been made at Laurel, Md
The experimental road is circuit of two
miles, with twenty-nine changes of grade,
some of which are very heavy. From the
tests made, it is thought that the trains can
be run on a level track at the rate of three
miles minute, or $50 miles an hour.
If the Weems system can be put into sue
cessful operation, it will bring about revo-
luton IN railroad matters. People who
have witnessed the trials at Laurel are con
fident that it will be a success.
