So confident of this were good lawyers that

case to the court on so slender basis as OBJ

other point included. there Ia of course more
chance to win the case irrespective of the

Sometime during the coming fall the Su-
preme Of the United States will pass upon
the case Of the importers against the act of
the last Congress known as the Dingley
worsted resolution. Under the old tariff
law treasury ruling was made which ad-
mitted worsted goods at far lower rate of
duty than other wooden goods were admitted
at. 1t was admitted on all sides that this
injustice should be rectifed as soon as posi-
BILE. So In the last Congress Mr.. Dingley
presented resolution intended to forestall
the then inc0mpleted tariff In rectifying the
effect Of the treasury ruling. 1t was desira-
BILE that this should be done as soon as pos
sible to prevent excessive foreign importa-
tloDs and consequent paralysis of the
worsted manufacturing trade for a long
time after the passage of the new tariff bill.
The justice and expediency of the Dingley
resolution was admitted even by L 2mocrata,
who said that IL there was going to be pro-
lection at all, this should be attended to.
But some of the Democrats In the House
TOOK 1t into their heads to embarrass bust
ness by performing; and Speaker Reed was

The ocean steamers are now crossing the
Atlantic at speed rivalling the spurts Of
the fastest trottnig horses. The Teutonic,
In the recent trip In which she broke the
record, travelled sea mile in about 2,96
minutes. The Majestic had previously made
the voyage at the rate Of sea mile in 2.9S4
minutes, and the City of Paris had done 1t at
rate of small fraction less than three
minutes. These rates are the averages for
all the miles OF the whole voyage, and are
measured In nautical miles. The nautical
mile is one-sixtieth of degree of longitude,
or about 2,025 iyards, while the American
statute mile, upon which horses are trotted
is 1,760 yards. The Teutonic's rate Of a
nautical mile in fraction less than 296
2,959) equals a rate of about 2.57 on a trot-
ting track Of statute mile. 1t is evident
that the ocean racers are pressing the trot-
ting horses pretty closely, since a steamer
that can make voyage of 2,778 miles over o
rough ocean in all kinds Of wind and wealth.
or, at an average speed of 257, could proba.
bly, do considerably better over measured
mile In smooth water. The ocean steamers
have been lowering their records steadily
since 1851, when they used to run from Liy-
erpool. In fifteen years the records from
that port were lowered as follows:

The New York Sun seems to think tina,
the President of the United States should
not travel about the country since such tours
are not according to the dignified rule of con
duct laid down by Thomas jefferson wher
that eminent Democrat was invited to come
to Portsmouth and Portland:
~ confess that am not reconclled to the idea
OF Cnlef Magistrate paradng himself through
the several States as an object of public gaze and
IN quest OF an applause which, TO be yaiuaDis,
silent good will by a faithful discharge OF my
duties than owe expressions OF lt 10 my putIf1 *
myself in the way of receiving them. Meio ,h "
make such a tour to Portland or TO PortsmOltn, l
must do il TO Savanna perhaps TO New Ofie ,e
and Frankfort. AS have never seen lne LINZ
when the public business ss wGI1d In Which Could
NOT carry il on SO have no reason TO expect tnat
such a time will come while remain 10 once;
nave become a private citizen, would much
better harmonic with my FEELINGS as well
as duties"
In Thomas Jefferson's time this was I'M
doubtedly sensible, for In those days it was
more of journey for President to come
from Washington to Portland than it would
be now to 90 from this country to Europe.
Jefferson must have been cut off from COM
munication with the seat of government for
weeks had he come to New England. But
now day and night would take President
from New England back to the seat of gov
eminent; and five minutes would send the
message calling him. Thomas Jefferson Wis.
iting at Monticello in 1906 was actually more
remote from the national capitol than Ii
Harrison at Bennington in 1891.

The unearthing Of the extensive frauds In
the Canadian government service is not sur
rrising to those who have watched the
course of canadian politics for several
years. II there is any honest country where
reform OF government methods Is needed
that country is probably Canada. Sir John
Macdonald was in some respects great
man; but his m ethods were not such as to
make the best administration of government.
Expediency was his rule of conduct. and 1t
must be admitted that he was remarkably
successful. By an extensive system of sub
sidized railways he managed to retain power
long after bis party's natural lease of power
had expired. The Liberal party of Canada
has long maintained that Sir Johns system
of using railroad subsidies was the rankest
form OF bribery. Ii 1t were not bribery Il
certainly had some of its effects. Individual
voters were not approached and corrupted
by 1t. directly, at least, but whole provinces
were secured by the actual or prospective
advantages Of a proposed government rail-
way. Public and commercial interests were
not entirely disregarded in the construction
OF these roads; but political objects were
considered too much. This policy had Its
effect and consequences In widespread de-
morallzation Of many portions Of the public
service. The investigations undertaken by
the Parliamentary committee show that
cabinet minister, heads Of bureaus and clerks
have used the public service to make large
sums of money by collision with favored
contractors. The discovery of all these
frauds is something to cause loyal Canadians
to feel more relief than alarm. Corruption
of administration is not the peculiar falling
Of despotic countries Every nation has ex-
perlenced it. England suffered from 1t for
long years, and because this corruption be-
came fragrant and scandalous public senti-
ment rose up against it so violently that 1t
was wiped out. We have had serious scan
dals in the legislative and executive de-
partments Of our own government. but pub
lie sentiment has cured them, and today we
have better service from public servants
than ever. before because of those expert
ences. Canada is going through the same
experience. And the prophecy may be ven
tured safely that purer government and
more respect for the high officials of the fu-
ture will result from the turning out of some
OF the rascals of the present time from their
high and probable stations.

A Valuable Industry.

The census of 1890 shows some sur
prising figures in the matter of truck
farming. The census authorities divide
the raising of vegetables into two classes,
market gardening and truck farming.
Market gardening is that in which the
gardeners live near the city and use
their own wagons to haul their products
directly TO market Truck farming, on
the other hand, is that in which the
agriculturist raises his crops of vege-
tables and ships them by rail, water or
otherwise, TO market at distance, hay
ing freight and other charges TO pay
The figures of the profits of vegetable
gardening and truck farming are enough
to make the tired newspaper writer wish
he could drop his pen, turn his back
upon his desk, make for quiet corner
of the earth and truck farm, get mule
and 90 to raising onions. The combined
returns of market gardening and truck
farming in the United States amount to
not less than 1926, 600, 900 annually. On
truck farming there is a clear profit of
not less than 800 an acre at the lowest.
At the highest, as for instance in the
raising of cucumbers under glass, the
returns foot up 81, 900 to the acre.
Truck farming alone, after all freight
and commission charges are paid, yields
returns of nearly $77,OOO,00O. Some
thing like 24O, 900 men, women and chill
dren, and nearly 76, 900 horses and mules,
are engaged in the industry. The most
profitable truck farming is carried on in
the New England and middle states and
the eastern portion of the southern states
The industry is growing rapidly and
enormously, as indeed the demand fol
fresh and varied vegetables grows con
stantly. 1t is significant, too, that ex
actly in localities where old farms hav'
been abandoned as no longer proftabl
for grain raising the truck farming
fourishes best. 1t is carried on on tn
line of what is called intensive farming
Its expenses are great, its profits enOl
nous, averaging for the country over t
; the grower, according to The America
Agriculturist's estimate, not less than 5
per cent on capital and expenses. VIII
would not be truck farmer?
The largest acreage in truck far1nin
is devoted to the colored brothers favol
