The formation of the reaper and mower
trust frightens Mr.. Secretary Rusk, and
well it may. He declares that as soon as
its details are known the farmers will
kick" and that, unfortunately, the Re-
publican party will have to take the
punishment. He declares that this new
combination is going to sell mowers and
reapers in Russia and Australia for less
than they are sold for in the United States.
and that when the farmers learn the fact
they will kick up such fuss as will stir
the whole country to the bottom. He adds.
Il am as certain as l can be about any,
thing that this reaper and mower trust is
going to cost the Republican party some
hundreds of thousands of votes" Mr..
Rusk is terribly alarmed, that is certain ::
he does not pause to tell US why such a
condition of things is possible, but in say
ing that the Republican party is to take
the punishment, he intimates that the Nc
Kinley blunder is at the bottom of it in
the estimation of the farmers of the coun-
try. And they are not out of their way
IN their Judgment. They are discovering
that the antitrust law does not work, and
that the proposed protection does not pro-
tect as was promised, and hence the tears
Secretary Rusk looks for. The truth is.
and the whole country is awakening to
the knowledge, that the party in Congress
has been dominated in this whole tariff
business by rings, trusts, manufacturing
combines, and all manner of unholy ALI
ances to fill the pockets of the manu-
facturers.

THE DYKES OF HOLLAND.
When Those Banks Spring Leak Ter
BILE Results NAV Eollou


4 certain jealous dame is said to have
once attempted to sweep the ocean away
with broom. The Dutch have been
wiser than this. They are slow and de-
hberate people. Desperation may use
brooms, but delibeTaIion prefers clay and
solid masonry. So, slowly and deliberately,
the dykes. those great hiil-iike walls Of ce-
ment and stone, have risen to breast the
butisting waves. And the funny part of il
is they are so skillfulfy slautet and waved
on the outside with fiat stones that the eff
forts OF the humping waves to best them
down only make them sll the fiFmer.
Those Holland dykes are among the won
Gers OF the world. I cannot say for how
many miles they stretch along the coast
and throughout the interior, writes Mary
Aapes Dodge in st. Nicholas but you msy

Sometimes the dykes, however carefully
built. will spring leak. and if not at

follow. In threatened places guards are
stationed at intervals, and steady watch
is Kept up night and day. At tae first

spected by our grantor for ninety years
without once being disputed BY England
or any other country, save the United
States, which was compelled 10 Weld and
confess itself in error. Under that pur-
chase we took and held the territory for
twenty years more without our right being
disputed. Now we are told that we must
limit cur claim to strip within three
marine leagues of our shores. That while
1t IS true that the seals that breed upon
our shores migrate from one chain of cur
Islands TO another to raise their families.
tie English will exercise the power to
take the creatures while three leagues at
sea, and not on land, after the manner of
our fishers, by which selection is made. as
required by law, and the propagation of
the seals not destroyed.
And to carry out this policy England
proposes to convoy the Canadian seal
poachers with ironclads and cruisers, and
help them in their stealing expeditions
by the use of powder and shot, which
leaves to the United States but one course
Ito do the best we can to prevent poaeh-
ing and if we are assaulted in our effort TO
arrest poachers, to strike back to the best
advantage. As for the outcome of war no
man can speak only we do entertain the
suspicion that if these cousins get at it in
earnest things will become very unpleas-
ant for the Canadas.

is THERE TO BE WAR,

There is but one construction possible to
be put upon the news from Ottawa and
London. We are told that the Canadian
sealers have had notice to go on and fit
out for next season in Behring Sea, and that
England will place there a sufficient fleet
to protect them against any possible inter-
ference. There is given for this statement
the names Of the highest officials of the
Dominion and of the home Government.
This means, then, that England will take
no further steps toward amicably settling
the Behring Sea difficulty; that she un-
derstands Mr.. Blaine as opposed to any
arbitration, since it would involve the
necessity of conceding some rights we can
not abandon. The Dominion sealers are
told, therefore, to go on and destroy the
seals, exterminate the animal and break
up business in which two-thirds of the
world feel an interest. The United States
will be expected TO send her ships into the sea
to prevent poaching, and they will be met
by English ironclads and then-warl
And this is to be the upshot Of all this
Behring Sea matter. Two of the greatest
nations of the earth are to fight over it,
and the stronger is to be conceded as hav-
ing been in the right. There may be no
help FOR it. but there should be. 1t is
altogether discouraging to civilization
that these nations should go to war to
accommodate the greed of few blue
nosed poachers. We cannot understand
why Great Britain should be SO stubborn
in this matter. She has very little to gain
out Of it. She does not claim to own the
marine territory, and she can have no in
terest in destroying the fisheries, as her
course is bound to do. 1t would appear to
be not so much matter of principle,
since she never has and does not dare to
protect her sealers in invading the Russian
side of what she claims is an open sea. 1t
is not a precedent she wants to establish
since there is no other place on the globe
situated as is the marine territory referred
to. or over which any such a controversy
could possibly arise. 1t is English stupid
ity and pugnacity that is behind the
whole matter. 1t is stupid to go to war
about so little 1t is boyish pugnacity to
provoke fight with SO small cause for it.
On the part Of the United States it is
very different matter. We purchased the
marine territory of Russia. 1t was de-
scribed by metes and bounds as marine
territory. 1t had been so held and re-

CALIFORNIA AND THE WORLDS FAIR.

Tie REcoRD-USIoN has persistently
and from the outset, contended that if
California exhibits at the Columbian
Worlds Fair. it must be by means of a Gu
muiative exhibition; that to appropriate
money for distributive exhibition would
be folly and waste.
The REcoRD-UNIoN has set forth the
reasons for this position with such force
and clearness that they have been irresist-
Ible 1t is very gratifying to know that
the public mind has come into the same
way of thinking and that the burden of
public opinion now is in full accord with
not only the cumulative exhibition idea,
but with the further proposition that Cali
fornia's exhibition should be made in Its
own building, which should itself form
portion of the exhibit and be typical of
the State.
Hon. NJ. NJ. Estee, Chairman of the
Committee on Legislation of the Califo,-
MIA Worlds Fair Association, and Off
cially representing that Association, will,
IN its behalf, ask the Legislature to make
a, proper appropriation for a cumulative
exhibition at Chicago, and only upon that
basis. Mr.. Estee declares that il such an
exhibition is not permitted the Associa-
ton will oppose the making of any APP
preparation whatever. But he adds that
the concession will be made, since the Su-
perintendent of Grounds has already tele-
graphed that California can have sufficient
acreage for building of its own.
The plan of the committee of the Asso-
citation which Mr.. Estee represents is to
ask for the appointment of seven citizens,
distinguished by business ability, high
character and notable manifestation of in
terest in the upholding of the State, to
have complete control of the California
exhibit. They are to receive no salary,
but are to be allowed actual expenses of
course. BY another bill 100000 will be
asked for, and also an amendment to the
County Government Act, SO as to permit
Boards of Supervisors to aid the local
associations and committees in preparing
county exhibitions to be part of the State
exposition
This is getting the Worlds Fair bust
ness into very good shape and very sens
IDLE form. We trust that the propositions
will be considered calmly. in broad State
spirit, and looked upon as wise and econo-
mic Investments, that, properly admins
tered, will return US a thousand-fold of
benefit.

DIR. W. ]. RoLFE, the accomplished
shakespearean scholar, has gone after Mr..
Donnelly with many sharp switches. In
the North american Reriec he fairly we'll
demoiishes the Hon. Donnelly's structure
by showing that cryptographic work lacks
the uniformity essential to the true cipher.
that it has multitude of starting points
for every page, and that by counting down
and up and across from so many Starters
one can figure out any words and phrases
on any subject possible to be expressed BY
the words on the page. Also, that it
would be impossible for the bitterest enemy
OF Bacon to charge such miserable eedit-
ing" to him as the folio edition is an ex-
ample of; that no printer of the time
could possibly have set up the type from
any manuscript SO as to print to match
the cipher Mr.. Donnelly assumes to have
found. Further. that the plays in that
edition bear all the ear-marks of having
been taken direct from the playhouse to
the printer, so much 80 that frequently
the players names appear instead of the
names of the characters. These are but
few OF the reasons that DR.. Rolfe ad-
vances for disbelief in Donnelly's alb
surdity, but they are enough.

for claiming legal separation on the part OF
married couples in Italy: One man called

s:antly chewed tobacco. a third cut of
his wife's curls without her consent. A
fourth refused to take his wife ont for q
walk. A Eth compelled his wife to sit up
talking with him after midnight when she
would have preferred going to sleep. One
lady refused to sew on her husband
trousers buttons. Another lazily stayed in
bed till noon every day. A third would
not let her husband go near the frs on a
cold winters day. A fourth LADY, dragged
her husband out of bed by bis beard. A
fifth went strollirg around the town in
stead OF attending to her domestic duties -

WE are pleased to welcome our contem.

all the world, if need be, and COM
pile all the experience of all the
towns and cities of America and Europe

matter. That they shall, from all the
i testimony taken, report what they deem
the three best plans for city situated as
is ours. Then the people will have some
thing to discuss; there viii be no cropping
In the dark; no waste of money in specu-
lative experiments; no folly in trying
new-fangled devices gotten up merely to
sell. Certainly there can be found in this
city ten or fifteen citizens who will consent
to act as the recipients of the information
desired. Not much of their time will be
taken; the work will mainly devolve upon
their secretary, and his expenses for two
years service need not exceed $500. We
could not expend money for higher or
more economic purpose. The result of
such examination as the commission makes,
would be worth to this city hundreds OF
thousands of dollars in coin, and countless
benefits in the adoption of the very best
possible system of disposing of sewage.
The plan is worth trial. We have entire
confidence in its success.
