THE INTER CONTINENTAL RAILROAD.

Most people, in this country, at least
have looked upou the international Ameri-
Fan conference which has been in session
IN Washington so long as of very little
significance. When the scheme was pro-
posed good many regarded it as a plan by
which rich United States could give in
Huential men from the poorer and less pre-
;entious governments of North and South
America a pleasant excursion and picnic
and at the same time show them something
Of the greatness and enterprise and devel-
opment of the foremost republic of the
world. Of course there was more or less
commercial sentiment in the project, there
being a hope that some of the
South and Central American trade which
now goes largely to Europe might be di-
verted to the United States. This was
Dnly hope, however, for it could hardly
be expected that with our existing tariff
laws which prevent our own people going
abroad for trade and keep others from
coming here, we could induce our southern
neighbors to deal with us to their own in
Jury.
1t is probable, or rather not impossible,
however that something important will
come from the conference. We have here
tofore referred to the proposition pre-
scented to the congress for great inter-
national railway, connecting the rail sys-
tenn of the United States with those of the
Argentine Republic in the far south. IF this
project, which has been reported by the
committee on railways and will be adopted
by the congress, shall go through, the con-
ference will have done something worthy
the gathering. 1t is believed the contem-
plated road would do more to bring together
In harmonious political and commercial re.
lations the peoples of the western hemis-
phere than anything else which could oc-
eur. The plan, as outlined by the commit.
Tee, contemplates an international board of
engineers, with headquarters in Washing
ION, that city being rightly regarded as the
place where the necessary information and
instruments can best be obtained. The
commission is to be made up of engineers
from the centres interested, and the expen
ses will be mel by an amount equal to 81 900

BIG COTTONWOOD PARK.

The memorial to Congress introduced by
Representative SMITH, on Tuesday, should
be promptly adopted by the legislature
and forwarded to Washington. 1t is
true that Congress is not doing much for
this particular section of the republic, nor
has it shown any marked disposition to do
much for US, but we may consistently ask
hope that it will be granted. The little bit
Of country which it is proposed to reserve
and set aside as a public park, for the use
and benefit of the people of this territory,
can be of no possible value to the
nation. it has already been de-
nuded of about all the timber that
is worth securing, its agricultural
capabilities are nil, and there is nothing
within the ten miles of canon and noun
tains that can be utilized. 1t is important
to this valley, however, that the tract
should be reserved for the purposes named
in the memorial. Years ago it was one of
the most beautiful spots on the continent,

place. But the fact that it is the source OF
much of the water supply of this valley,
makes it essential that it should be with
drawn from the public domain. 1t is only
| a question of time when Salt Lake city will
draw from the Big Cottonwood stream
| whether or not the entire creek will come
here cannot now be told, but certain it is
that portion of it will ere long flow tc
this city. Hence the Importance of doing
everything that can be done to husband
the supply and increase the fiow Since
the timber was removed the snow melts
earlier ia the summer and the stream fall!
earlier. With little expense the storag,
capacity of the dozen or more lakes within
the limits of the proposed reserve can bt
trebled or quadrupled, and without in tn
least increasing the danger, the peculiar
conformation of the country making it al
easy matter to turn all the lakes into stor
age reservoirs. while the snowfall insure:
an abundance of water.
AS there can be advanced no good reasol
why the request in the memorial Shout
not be granted, and as there are so man
reasons why it should be complied with
Congress may conclude that it can do thi
small favcr to Utah.

PROHIBITION IN IOWA.

The inaugural address of Governor
BoIEs, of Iowa, is interesting to all sec
tons of the republic, in so far as it refers
to the liquor traffic. BoIEs is Democrat.
but the fact that he is governor of Iowa
must not be accepted as conclusive evi-
dence that Iowa is aDemocratic state He
was the nominee OF the Democratic partg.
but was elected on a platform which pro
claimed against prohibition. 1t will not be
denied that Republicans voted for him in
asmuch as their own party was commit
ted to the constitutional prohibition of the
liquor traffic. The governor says that in
Iowa prohibition has not prohibited; that
the law is despised, defied and systematic
ally violated that the people resent the
wrong that was done when the law
made valueless the great amount
of capital invested in the LIQUOR
business, and that there is popular con-
nivance at the surreptitious traffic in in
toxicants, the sentiment baipg that it is
iustifiable to defeat wrongful legislation.
AS matter of course the Prohibitionists
will charge the governors utterances to
party politics, but the fact that BoIEs re-
ceived a majority of the votes is sufficient
proof of the truth of what he says, that the
people of Iowa do not want prohibition.
They have given it a fair trial and finding
it inefficient they are heartily tired of con-
tinuing the farce. The legislature will be
called upon to abrogate the Objectionable
enactment, and if there should be refusal
to comply, no doubt the popular will in the
premises will be expressed with greater
emphasis at the next election
The experience of Iowa is the experience
of every other state that has attempted
prohibition. So long as the tastes, inclina-
| ton and disposition of the American peo-
pie shall remain as they are, there cannot
be statutory prohibition, for there will al
ways be found ways for circumventing a
law for which SO many are lacking in re-
spect. When people reach condition of
mind and appetite in which they are ready
to obey prohibitory law there will beno oc
casion for such statute. In other words
| the temperate man, the total abstainer, is not
made temperate by legislative enactment,
nor is the person given to indulgence kept
sober by statute. The disgrace of arrest
and the punishment imposed by the police
court do not prevent men getting drunk,
and if there were no arrest and no fine
there would be little more drunkenness.
| Many years of experience have taught
that high license produces the best re-
suits in dealing with the liquor traffic II
gives better control of the business, does
not increase the consumption of intoxi
cants, and compels those who drink tc
bear large proportion Of the expense tc
which their habits put the community
Iowa, it would seem from the election last
fall and from Governor BoIEs' Inaugural
address, has learned the truth of this, and
it remains for the legislature of the state
to act in accordance with the popular wish
and repeal the prohibitory law.

THE FARMERS of Illinois are wondering
why they are getting less than cost for
their corn, and they are holding public
meetings in which the matter is discussed.
Nor can they understand why the popula
lion in all the agricultural counties should
Jhow a steady decrease. Republicans are
taking the lead in many of these meetings
where the relations of the tariff to
monopoly and of monopoly to the farmer
are discussed. The probabilities are that
Illinois will follow Iowa and Ohio out of
the control of the party which legislates
against the farmer in the interest of the
nprotected" manufacturer.

THE YOUNG Kaiser has again offended his
own, his fathers and his grandfather's
chancellor, and there are rumors of a
break in the relations which have so long
existed between BISMARCK and the German
along so thick and fast that everybody be-
gins to believe there is more in the rumors
than mere idle gossip. More than this, very
nearly everybody is hoping that the break
will occur and the young Emperor will as
sert himself as master of his empire rather
than the mere puppet of subject.

The announcement that Jay Gould has
acquired control of the Richmond Ter
minal Railroad suggests some very impor-
tant plans. The great ambition of Gould's
railroad career has been to control line
from the Atlantic to the Pacific. This
road forms an essential link to the chain.
He has but little hope of reaching New
York on the Eastern side, but
he can connect with Galveston,
Baltimore or Newport News, and if he
build to Seattle he will command the Pa
CHIC as completely a. he needs The close
association with the Burlington places
Newport News, Houston and Galveston
within his reach, the Baltimore d Ohio is
not very difficult of acquisition with the
scattering of aggregated interests, the Wa
bash is likely to come within his grasp.
and there would then be few gaps left be-
fore entering upon the main line of the
Union Pacific to the extreme West
1t is fortunate thing for railroadng. as
a business, that the Richmond Terminal is
now in strong hands which will conduct it
as part of business scheme. Ii has been
for years the shuttlecock of Wall street, its
stock nuctuating with as much uncertainty
as wildcat mining enterprise Perhaps
the public may have to pay higher rate
for railroad facilities as a result of the
combination, but for a few years the
prospect is that freights will be
held at a steady figure and so benefit BUSH
ness generally.
Monopoly uncurbed is likely to become
a tyrant, hut, checked by judicious legisla-
ton, it can be made useful servant. No
business man fears stiff rate of freight
so much as uncertainty; and where all are
on an equality as to charges, they are less
likely TO become burdensome.

MANUAL TRAINING IN THE SEATTLE
HIGH SCHOOL.

The initial step was taken by the school
board last night toward the establishment
of a department of manual training in
connection with the public schools of the
city. The suggestion was made by Prof
Heston, of the High School, who made
an extended argument in its support. and
it was heartily approved by Prof. Barnard,
the city superintendent These gentlemen
presented mass of reports from all parts
of the United States where the system has
been tried-all tending to support it as a
practical and useful thing.
For beginning $3.50 was appropriated
for the purchase of twelve sets of car
penter's tools and of supply of lumber.
Benches will be set up in the basement OF
the High School building and each male
pupil, unless his parents ask that he be
excused, will be required to devote a por-
ton of each school day to work in this
shop under competent tuition 1t is pro-
posed next year to introduce other ma
chinery and to widen the department so as
TO include various mechanical trades.
This experiment viii be watched with
utmost interest, and if it shall be found
successful the manual department will be
made one of the important branches Of
public school work in Seattle.

But the governor of South Carolina, who is a
plain blunt man, doesn't dissemble but speaks
right on, remarks in his inaugural address:

Okanogan Indian Funerals.

There are no general burial grounds, but each
family has plat convenient TO their tepee
where their interments are had. The Indians
are very superstitious about graves and make
long detours to avoid them. The buried gums
and blankets are considered sacred and are never
thereafter disturbed. AT the grave the medicine
man chants a prayer and then the squaws begin
to weep. This is their especial province and
applies to all alike irrespective OF family ties.
After covering the body the klootehes remain to
continue their lamentations while the bucks
engage in horse racing, their infallible balm for
all mental Ills Should the deceased belong on
the Okanogan side of the divide the Catholic
priest would have conducted the services, but
on the Columbia side the Indians do not accept
Catholicism, and the medicine men have control
over the spiritual welfare of the tribe.
