THROUGH CANALS TO SHIPS.

There is every reason to believe that the
steamship bill passed by The State Senate
will, as claimed, increase the importance Of
Pennsylvania from a commercial standpoint
after it becomes law. This increase will
come as much from the products of other
States drawn through Pennsylvania to
Philadelphia, the port from which the
proposed companies will operate, as from
an enlargement in the amount of home pro-
ductions. But to make the benefits to be
derived from Incorporating these companies
as great as possible, something is still
lacking.
This something is an economical means Of
transportation for the heavy and bulky
freight to this State and through it to the
coast Right here the practicability of the
Lake Erie ship canal as advocated bv THE
DISPATCH becomes apparent. Grain and
food products from the West and Northwest
not counting the vast tonnage from other
sources, would find their most available
outlet through it. and incidentally pay toll
to Pittsburg on their way.
Aside from its benefit to the State In con-
junction with the proposed steamship COM
panies, the Lake Erie canal is Of still vaster
i'm mportance 10 the people at large, and
should and will be kept before them. Not
only the State but the whole country will be
benefited BY its construction, and IN time it
will form link in chain of freight-bearing
waterways through the length and breadth
OF the land

DECREASING HURAL PoPuL,TIoN.

4 striking evidence OF the arrested growth
in the agricultural districts throughout the
older parts OF the country is stated by the
New York Posi-. II is generally supposed
shat the districts where the agricultural
population mas decreased in The last decade
were exceptional! cases. AS ali illustration
to the contrary, the Post states that it Is pos
sible to travel from Schoode Lake, Maine,
20 Decatu- Ala, a distance OF 1,3t0 miles,
and pass through only seven courties whose
population outside of the cities did not de-
crease between 1880 and 1890. The counties
which show an increase of rural population
on the line from the New Brunswick border
20 Northern Alabama are Sagadahoc, Me. /;
Allegany, Cattaraugus and Chautauqua
counties, \. Y; Butter county, o.; Allen
county, KY, and Mason county, Tenn. The
journal quoted frankly accounts for a par
of this uncom Portable showing By the fact
that the census In rural districts is more
ant to SKINNED over thar in cities. But as
that was the case in 1899 equally with that
IN 1890 it cannot be held TO afford more than
partial explanation of the long stretch of
counties in which the agricultural popula-
tion is on the wane.
This is a phenomenon far from satisfac-
tory. The agricultural districts of the East
ern States should, by more thorough iarm-
lag and eloseness 20 manufacturing and ex-
port markets. increase rather than diminish
iu population. 3ut facts show that the dis
position OF :he free-trade school to attribute
this change to the tariff is ar erroneous one.
Whatever effect the tariff has on any indus
try is felt over the entire nation. IF it is
wipiDg out the agricultural population it
must wipe it out in the West as we'll as the
East, or, rather, it should do so in the West
ern section frst, as Eastern farms should be
benefited by manufactures. That the con-
|trsry is the case shows that the tariff is not

dustry from the farms Of the East to the
prairies of the West.
It also shows that the real cause is to be
found in the influences which so adjust
railway rates that the fertile farms of the
West are brought nearer the export mar
kets, in cost of transportation and in pro-
portion to the service rendered, than those
of the East. 1t is natural and legitimate
that the Western farms should have the ad-
vantage of their fertility, on terms Of trans
portation that are equivalent. But when
railroad policy persists in transporting the
products of the West two thousand miles for
but little more than they charge for hauling
similar products OF the East, four or Eve
hundred miles, the inevitable result is to
transfer an immense agricultural produc-
tion 10 the West and to entail on society the
wasted labor of transporting its products
fifteen hundred miles more than is neces-
sary.
OF course, this is the consequence Of the
conditions Of the transportation business
which concentrate the forces of competition
favor of the most distant points. But the
results are such as to show the importance
Of seeking reform which will make CON-
petition act more equitably in favor of all
sections.

PITTsBURG,s PROSPERITY

The statement that returns from city mer-
chants 70 the Board of Assessors show an
increase in all branches of business ranks
lmong the best news received by our ctl-
ems for some time AS one of the foremost
commercial and manufacturing cities in the
country, Pittsburg has long been famous
and the increase or decrease in the volume
# transactions here has often in the past
oeen taken as a criterion of the prosperity of
he whole country. Plttsburg was pros
Oerous last year. So was the country as a
whole. And it is a subject of con-
graduation that the prosperity is not in the
nature Of spurt, but is a steady and
legitimate increase. Pittsburg's boom is not
he kind that is here to-day and away to-
morrow. 1t is not the outcome of false
claims and imaginative advantages, but is
the result of well-directed energy on the part
Of the most energetic business men on the
continent, working under laws that foster
home industry.
It is not likely that any great part of the
increase in revenue will come from figures
obtained in the License Court. These fig
ures will, of course, have some effect, but
the largest gain will come from the improve
ment in general business. The liquor trade
IS but one among many, and its returns
would have to be enormous to make very
perceptible difference In the citv's revenue.
Nor will the increased number of saloons
add much TO the business tax. As men,
toned in our local columns, the trade will
merely be divided up among more people,
while the lllesilimate dealers will continue
attempting to do business untaxed. These
latter can be left to the tender mercies Of
the police.

A SIGN OF THE TINES.

One of the most significant signs Of the
times is the quickness with which the minds
of people dissatisfied with a monarchy ac-
cept the possibility of a republic Not so
very long ago when q hereditary ruler
proved unsatisfactory, the extreme length
TO which his subjects went was to depose him
and put enthusiastically of the same
family-in his place. The idea that one of
the people might prove a better head had
not found general acceptance. Then a
change came. Gradually the benefits OF q
popular form of government, as exempll6ed
in this country, became apparent, and now
when a change is discussed the tendency is
to break away from royal traditions.
The most recent instances of this are given
by two wholly dissimilar countrles-Norway
and Hawaii. The people of the former have
begun to think their importance is dwarfed
by conjunction with Sweden. the King of
which also rules over Norway. Their de-
sire for distinct place among nations does
not, however, lead them TO regard king of
their own as desirable. But it has led them
to discuss the practicability of founding a
republic; and, while no definite action has
yet been taken, the idea that they can gov
ern themselves is becoming firmly fixed in
the brains of the Norwegians. The other
country, Hawaii, according to latest adj
vices. is in state OF ferment. and the people
are ciamoring for a republic They evil
dently had enough of royalty under the
good-natured but financially reckless Kala-
kaua, and believe they are able to take care
of themselves.
In both cases the people are right. The
Norwegians are noted for good, sound, COM
mon sense, industry and thrift, and as a
separate and republican nation their coun-
try would soon rank high. The people of
Hawaii can also greatly improve the stand
ing of their country among the nations of
the earth by adopting a popular form of
government. And both in time, longer or
shorter, according to circumstances, will
make the change. The rulers by divine
right have lad their day.

out speaking word TO her in all that time, J..
Henry Knott has mysteriously decamped, thus
apparently completing one Of the strangest
domestic dramas on record.
In 1870 Miss Hannah L. Miller. then of Phila-

They settled in Horsham township On a five
acre tract of land. where they have since re-
sided Knott was an industrious man, and al
though his place is small one, has managed to
make a comfortable living. Three children
resulted from the union-tw boys and a girl
Knott has always been strictly temperate
man. moral In every respect, and a general
favorite among his neighbors But he was a
Southerner with all Southerner's impetu-
osity and hot blood. He was known among his
neighbors as a stubborn man." Mrs. Knott
is herself woman of refinement. and is also
possessed of much of her husbands nature
Their troubles began shortly after their young
est child was born, about 10 years ago, since
which time not word has passed between
them. When either wanted anything from the
other it was asked for through one Of the chill
dren.
Knott. when he left. made no provision for
his wifes support, but the propertyis is in her
name. although there Is mortgage on 1t. The
interest, amounting to $40 Is now due. He also
left store bill of over $40, which the wife will
have to pay In fact, he took everything with
him he had, including two fine horses, a new
carriage. most of the farming implements and
about $500 in money. He left $50 tor his
younger son. The place will have TO be sold.
He wanted to take daughter with him, but
she refused to CO. Since his departure he has
written to his son from Westchester and also
hoping that all the family were the same, but
his present Whereabouts are unknown.

CHEckMATING THE KICKER.

The practical politicians at Harrisburg
have at least needed the popular voice.
They are now convinced that the voters of
the Commonwealth are in earnest in their
efforts for ballot reform. But in preparing
to meet this demand-backed by pledge
from the Republican party-they are
scheming to so amend the bill before the
Legislature as to strip it of some of its re-
form features and have it shaped to meet the
views OF the leaders. If these leaders
practical fellows politically, of course
could not see their way clear to injecting
into the Baker bill amendments sufficient to
somewhat soften its provisions so far as they
are concerned, this change of heart would be
less sudden. But will the people calmly
permit the Headers" to rob the measure of
its iraud-checking features and elothe it
with technicalities and provisos which the
practical political workers alone can
profit by?
Only hints concerning contemplated
amendments have so far been thrown out.
One is based on the nominating clause of
the Baker bill, which gives independents
two days advantage over the leading par
ties in filing nominations. This, the practi-
cal fellows claim, gives the "kickers" an
advantage. Hence they object. This may
not be a serious change, but it shows the
drift of contemplated amendments. The
''Ikicker"-in the matter of ballot reform the
independent citizen-must be checkmated.
Why, pray? Judging from signs not yet
mildcwed by time, the kicker is necessary
element in the politics of the Common
wealth. The kicker will continne to be
a feature of coming campaigns. The
kicker is with the voters to stay, and the
sooner the leaders of all parties recognize
this mulIsh individual in politics and take
him by the hand, the better it will be for
them. The kicker is back of the movement
for ballot reform, and will not cease his kick.
ing until he gets it. He will kick harder
than ever if instead of bread be is tendereda q
stone.
Politicians who are ordinarily wise will
not tickle the kicker's heels with a straw.
