The efforts of those who desire to raise
the Office OF commissioner of agriculture to
the full dignity of a cabinet position seem
likely 10 be crowned with success at no dis
tant day. The bill creating the new seat in
the cabinet is in the hands of conference
committee Of the two Houses and it is eX-
rected that the measure will be passed at

ceived, and the communications are answered
as promptly as possible. Twenty-Five topog-

and $4,000 envelopes are used each month.
The Washington Post has been getting the
opinions of some members of the cabinet on
the efficacy of civil service examinations and
their faith or lack of faith in them. Attor-
ney General Miller replied that 1t was enough
for him to interpret the laws. He didn't
care to discuss them. Secretary Noble said
that he endeavored to obey the law with sin.
cerity ''as he understood IT," but that he was
"not inclined to surrender a single point to
the commission on any pretension they may
mako" Secretary Proctor thought the civil
service law had improved the service, and said
that If he were compelled to select all the
clerks in the department he would have
very little time for anything else. Secretary
Window felt the same way and said, in re-
ply to tho question whether he did not
think he was better qualified to select clerks,
with special reference to the work to be
done, than anyone else: "I would not have
the time. prefer to be relieved of the re-
sponsibility."
The Maritime Register gvies the ship-build-
ers of this country some good advice con-
eerning the building Of light draft steam-
boats for South American inland navigation.
The matter has been frequently discussed be-
fore, but our ship p-builders have made no
great efforts to secure this trade, partly, No
| doubt. because they have not realized its eye
tent, and partly because they have not
thought the prospect of profit sufficient to
warrant the labor and risk. The conse-
quence is that though this country has been
many times looked to for vessels of this sort,
the number and variety of craft evolved by
our great system Of inland navigation max.
| ing them seem to be the natural source of sup
! ply, the great bulk Of the boats come from
England. The fact is, the steamboats, which
have been bought here have not proved ade-
quate to the peculiar conditions Of tropical
rivers, and while our builders have not
cared to modify their methods, the English
have boon indefatigable In their efforts to
furnish exactly what Is wanted, because they
fnd the business profitable one. The
prospect is, as the Maritime Register re-
marks, that 1t prom ises to be still more
profitable in the future, for In the present
industrial and commercial up-springing o.
the South American countries, the demand
for river craft must constantly increase for O
long time to come.

AN ENGLISH VIEW


An interesting discussion of a very inter-
esting and important matter is printed in
the London Chamber of Commerce journal.
It asks If II ia not time that the commercial
and financial world should como to some un.
dertanding with her majesty's government
40 to the attitude which that government IL
prepared to assume In regard to the enor-
mountaineering Investments Of British
capital In foreign enterprises of all kinds.
II then proceeds to point out that those
States which are most energetic In preventing
by tariff barriers tho free sale of British mer-
chapdise on Its merits q re the first to appeal,
and often successfully, to British fnanoiers
to assist them in promoting competition with
British industries. This indicates that pro-
lection is good thing. The journal goes
on to say: British machinery ia systemati-
cally financed with British capital to estab.
lish producing Industries in foreign coun-
tries, with the result that home productions
roads, foreign shipping, foreign building
trades, foreign labor, are thus promoted by
US in competition, 1t might almost be said,
with ourselves. Economically this is no
doubt but the expression of that law of sup
ply and demand which, rising superior to
the travels of fiscal law, takes tho smaller
profit where it cannot obtain the larger In
preference to no profit at ALL Capital, In
fact, is catering into the competitive period,
as industry did some 25 or 80 years ago.
The profits on capital being constantly re-
duced, both on commercial Investments aud
on securities, its holders are becoming more
enterprising than they were, and are con.
strained to 60 further afeld in search OF
higher remuneration. This is the origin OF
the speculative movement of modern times, g
movement which Is probably destined to be.
come more accentuatsd than ever, and posi-.
bly, recognized feature of the trade opera
tions of the future

A BUSINESS WOMAN.

Woman is fast proving that she can do
whatever she undertakes to do. Mrs. Emma
E. Forsythe is one of the latest illustrations
of this. Mrs. Forsythe is the daughter Of
Mr.. Coe, formerly our consul in Samoa, and
Q Samoan woman. She is well educated,
aud is the widow OF an Englishman. Ten
years ago she visited the island of New
Britain, and though the inhabitants of the
island are savages of very low grade, she
thought she could make some money there.
For mere triae she purchased from the
chief a large amount Of land. She then Or
ganized firm of planters and trading mer
chants under the name of Thomas Farrell &
Co., of which she took the management and
owned a controlling interest. Ii is said thai
she has q mortgage on the entire property of

under any flag in the Western Pacific. Or
this savage island she has lived ever since
extending her plantations and landed posses
s!ons. Her property and business are fa
larger than those of all other foreigners OIL
the island put together. Her land Is all sur
veyed and embraces 100, 900 acres. Her larges
plantation at Raaluan contains IA, 500 aore
of the choicest land on the island. Recen
statistics of her trade are not at hand, bu

The Treatment OF Roadsides


The planting of trees along all highways is
usually insisted upon as a public duty by
persons who take an active interest in mat
tsrs which pertain to rural Improvement.
Tho first work undertaken by village i'm
provemsnt societies is most frequently road
side tree-planting. The activity of Arbor
day is apt to expend itself In the same direo-
tion, and very often the work is oommenda-
BILE from every point of view. A long,
straight, level avenue with row of elms or
sugar naples, or tulip trees on either side,
set on smooth turf at regular intervals, is al
ways beautiful. Ne nobler approach to O
stately mansion can be conceived of thar
such an avenue. As an introduction to 9
suburban park, or the extension of the main
| street of country village, especially when
| It leads to some object of adequate dignity
such an avenue is always satisfying. But In
| an open, hilly country roadsides are not al.
ways improved when bordered by fsrma
line of trees. To one standing on an emt
nence, slender lines Of foliage following thu
winding of various roads ACROSS the land

| travelling on such roads tho constant shade

| ther side at equal distances would be still
more displeasing.
Ii does not follow from this that the plant
| ing of trees along country highways should
| be discouraged, but it should be remembered
that trees can be agreeably disposed in vari'
GUS ways, and that In many cases an occa
sional group of trees at a cross-road, or
single tree here and there at desirable point
by the waysids, will prove more attractiv
than a monotonous row on either hand II
which each tree is precisely fifty feet from
its neighbor. It should be remembered to-
that shrubs and vines, and even humble
growths, should have place on a road Dor
der as we'll as trees, and there are many roa
borders where they are of much more i'm
portance than trees. These thoughts hav
been suggested by letter which is publishe
