Delegates From Newfoundland.

HALIFAX, N. s., April 2S.-The Allan

this morning from Liverpool and st. Johns,
of Newfoundland to Great Britain and to
Canada. The mission of the delegates is
not confined to the modus vivendi recently
entered into relating to the taking and pre-
serving of Holsters. but embraces the whole
question of French treaty rights on the coast
of Newfoundland. In the present agitation
there Is also contained the assertion of the
constitutional right of the colony to modify
or alter its territorial and maritime rights,
and thus the delegates hope to secure the
sympathy and cooperation of their fellow
colonists. The trade between the Canadian
Provinces and Newfoundland is growing,
and the position recently assumed by the
French will have an impor tant bearing on it.

alias John Taylor, who were arrested in
Lawrence last winter for burglary in Lew

ternoon. Leduc and Anctille plead guilty,
and Tarrien not guilty. The boys were
granted separate trials, and Tarrien's case
came up first He defended himself as he
could not obtain counsel. Although Tarrien
could speak but little English, he defended
himself ably. He accused Anctille, the
leader of the party, of having offered him
(Tarrien) $50 if he would take all the blame
off the other two, providing the sentence
was six months, and 800 if the sentence
was year. Anctille denied the charge. The
jury brought in verdict of guilty against

THE AUSTRALIAN INUNDArIoSs.

Virgins assertion that the earthquake Of
the oath, which woke people out of their
beds in San Francisco, must have been Sc
we're on the Islands and elsewhere on the
Pacific, is disproved by the fact that no
word of any seismic disturbance reaches us
by the steamers just arrived. The shake
was evidently merely local. But a week
before a tremendous ran-storm, in which
twenty inches of water fell in a few hours,
laid waste some of the finest sheep-runs in
Northwestern New South Wales and South
ern Queensland. 1t caused two rivers, the
Ballone and the Darling, to rise so as
to completely overflow their banks; 1t
drowned thousands of sheep and converted
the fiourishing town of Bourke, built on the
site OF Fort Bourke, into an island stand
ing in a sea forty miles wide. The levees
went down like paper before the force of
the water, and houses. barns, fences and
cattle went floating off in the floods.
The physical geography of Australia is so
unique that it is difficult to understand YER
bal accounts of meteorological phenomena
On that continent The rivers do not flow to
the sea, at least above ground; they start
from few springs, receive some feeders by
the way, and then subside, evidently depos-
iting their waters in some subterranean
sink. Thus the Balone River appears to
rise in the mountains back Of Brisbane and
runs south to the border of New South
Wales, where it disappears. Hence an in
undation does not relieve itself, except by
the slow processes of percolation and alb
sorption. The Darling River. on which
Bourke is situate, does empty Itself into the
Murray, the great river of Australia; but
the Murray disembogues into a lake, and its
waters must flow off slowly. foundations

Australia than in country WHOSE rivers

FOR REVENUE ONLY.

Mr.. Thomas G. Shearman has contributed
an article TO the North American ReUie1g
In which he makes Mr. Blaine's article on
the tariff in former number the basis of
an argument III favor of a revenue tariff.
Mr.. Blaine congratulated the country on
the fact that we now produce our own iron
and steel, but Mr.. Shearman thinks this
rather 4 misfortune than otherwise. He
figures up the amount paid in duties on
tJreign Iron while the industry was being
developed in this country and arrives al
the conclusion that the trade was dearly
purchased at the cost. The Government,
he says, taxed the people 10 sustain the iron
Industry sum of money the interest of
which for single year would suffice TO pay
all the wages of all the persons employed
IN the steel-rail mills of the United States
for forty years. Whether or not this state
ment is true it is Of slight bearing upon
the question. There are other branches of
the iron industry than the manufacture of
steel rails. More men are employed in pro-
ducing iron ore and converting 1t to pig
iron, which is considered the raw material
OF the product, than in fashiOnfng the raw
material into steel rails. To anybody but
Dir. Shearman there would be some ad-
vantage in having the industry located at
home. To Mr.. Shearman's peculiarly con-
structed mind the principal consideration
.S"the cost of product. II Europe can pro-
duce rails at less cost than the United
States he would let Europe keep the indus
Try. Mr.. Shearman says the tariff of 1916
was so high as to produce large surplus
revenue. The tariff of 1916 was as close an
approach to purely revenue tariff as we
have ever had, and consequently the amount
Of revenue derived from it does not imply a
high rate Of duties-simply duties on goods
that we have to import The Government
could collect hundred millions year from
a tax on tea and coffee, which would not afford
protection to any American industry. The
real difference between a protective and
revenue tariff lies in this: The one imposes
duties on articles we can produce at home,
vile the other imposes duties ON articles
hat we must bring from abroad. Under the
iff-fcr-revenue-Only principle an excess
of revenue can be collected without afford
ing any considerable protection to Ameri-
can industries.

IRON MINES.

The New York Times offers the declared
dividend of the Metropolitan Iron and Land
Company as reason why iron ore should
be admitted free. The Metropolitan Com
pany is located in Michigan, although the
stock is largely owned in Eastern cities. 1t
has proved a good investment, the stock
having risen from par value of S25 share
TO q market value of SS5. 1t possesses the
best BesSemer ore in the country, and is
reported last year as producing 1000, 900
tons. Mining, whether for gold, silver or
iron, is largely matter of LUCK One mine
pays and another does not A mine pays
one year and does not pay the next year.
In prospecting for ore, large sums are ex-
pended without results. While the Metro
politan iron mine has trebled the cost of its
shares, other mining ventures have proved
failures. The question if the production of
the raw material OF iron should be protected
cannot be determined by the profit of a sin
gle mine for single year. Iron ore has to
be searched for and, when found, large
sums of money must be expended in getting
the mine in working condition. The ven
ture cannot be compared with that of build
ing factory, the cost of which may be
closely estimated with a reasonable as
surance that its product will pay running
expenses and interest on the money in
vested. 1t is probable that this particular
mine would pay fairly we'll if foreign ore
were admitted free. But other mines would
not. 1t is question, also, whether if iron ore
had been admitted free the Metropolitan
mine would nave been developed. One of
the inducements Of capital to risk itself in
such venture was that the foreign product
would have to pay a tax to get into the
American market. While certain iron
mines in the vicinity of Lake Superior are
at present worked at a profit, no evidence
has been offered to warrant the conclusion
that the business of iron mining is, aver
aging mines right through, more profitable
than the manufacture Of ore into the I'M
iShed product

When the subject of irrigation first COM
manded general attention in this State
there were many who believed we should
study the system in use in Australia, be-
canse it had been in existence there before
it was thought of here, and because the con-
troversy between riparian owner and APP
proprietor had been fought out to finish
in the Colonies. But, in fact. except that
irrigation is as necessary there as here,
there is no similarity between the two re-
gions, so far as water uses are concerned.
Our rivers all run to the sea and are, in fact,
of torrental origin; whereas Australian
rivers empty into sinks or lakes. and enjoy
placid flow. The difficulty with a reser-
yoir system in Australia is to keep the res

to prevent their overlooking their banks in
spring. Still, thoughtful person can al
ways pick up ideas even in the most I'M

BRITISH EXHIBITS AT THE FAIR.

London dispatch says that British man
ufacturers will be deferred to great extent
from sending exhibits to the Worlds Fair
at Chicago if 4 tariff bill is passed which
will preclude profitable sales of British
goods in the United States. This Is Ger
tainly an argument in favor Of the Tariff
Bill under consideration. 1t is of vastly
more importance to the United States to do
our own manufacturing than to have a
grand display of foreign goods at the
Worlds Fair. When Congress decided to
locate the fair at Chicago it was expected
that Europe would turn the cold shoulder

ufacturers would probably have made some
thing Of a show had the fair been held in
New York, but they will see less prospect
of advantage from display in an interior
city. But the disinclnation of European
manufacturers to contribute will stimulate
Americans to make an exhibit fairly reflect
ing the varied industries of the country.

THE DAsHAwAY DECISION.

The decision of the Supreme Court in the
Dashaway case makes that darker which
was dark enough before. The question be-
fore the court was whether sum of $50, 600
eli was contributed by individuals to the
society Tor the promotion of temperance
was or was not so absolutely the property
of the surviving members of the society
that they could divert it from the purpose
for which ii was contributed and divide it
among themselves as a private windfall.
The court decides that the organic instru-
uent under which the society was formed
too vague in its terms to warrant decis-
whether the money belonged to the
lse Of temperance or to the members in
idually, and that under the cireum-
nres it viii not interfere.
6 strong point in the decision is the
tement that no one will be wrOnged if
ne Dashawav survivors divide the money.
70 man can say that he had any claim to
money or any part thereof The cause
temperance might say so if it had per-
onal or corporate entity, but it has not.
II Is an idea, principle, a theory, a doc
-rine, and as such it has no standing in
courts Of law any more than virtue or
chastity or honesty in the abstract. The
Attorney General took the ground that the
people OF the State at large had sufficient
terest in the matter to warrant them in
ting in an appearance as plaintiffs and
lImants for the money. The court rules
thew have not, and on this head we be-
we tie decision is in line with decisions
English courts in parallel cases.
Still the fact remains that the fund in
ontroyersy was not subscribed for the pur-
0se to which il is now to be applied: that
6 old members of the Dashaway Associa-
N would not have paid in money if they
ID supposed it was going to be divided be-
,een their fellow members who had the
good luck to survive them. The wrong is

THE ONLY REMEDY.

The Philadelphia Freeman says the only
means by which the immigration of Chinese
can be prevented is to secure from Mexico
and Great Britain treaties by which they
VIII absolutely prohibit the landing of Chi
nese In Mexico and British America. Such
treaties are much to be desired, but 1t does
not follow that we must fold our hands and
let Chinese flood tie country while waiting
for our Government to impress its policy
upon the other two. We can keep Chinese
from landing in our ports, and two or three
