An Important Question.

Boston, May 25.-Speaklng of the
Behring sea question at dinner given
last night, T. ]. Coolidge, minister to
France, said: "This conference is more
important than the Alabama treaty. The
money involved Is greater, as you will
see by rejecting that 100000 seals a year
at $40 head means 100000. the in
terest on which will be a much greater
sum than $15,O00,O0O, which was the
award of the Alabama conference. Be-
sides it involves more interesting ques-
tions of international law"

It seems that the name of Hon.
James G. Blaine is prominently men
toned as the presidential candidate in
November, and this will give general
satisfaction. Republicans would give
him hearty support this year, because,
in the Malta affair, Chilian trouble
and Behring sea controversy he has
shown himself an American of Amer
leans and clear. r.headed statesman.

The River and Harbor bill, with
the % per cent. reduction, has passed
the senate, and now goes to the house
for final adoption. As the contract
system is adopted for the locks and
boat railway, the decrease in the ap-
preparation will work no material in
jury. The government becomes party
to the contract, and any loss suffered
by reason of delay in appropriating
the necessary amount of money to
carry on the work at either place will
be sufficient reason for an action
against the United States for damages.
This contract system insures sum
each year for these improvements, and
a speedy completion of the locks and
the boat railway, because it is to the
interest of all concerned-the con-
tractors and the United States.

action of the party representatives.
Those who are not favored will heart
lily support the candidate named. and
thus show their fealty to the party
and adherence to the doctrines of pro-
lection. The Republican party has
never lacked a leader in any emer-

policy is bitterly attacked by free trade
Democrats, some one will be chosen
who will insure victory at the polls.

A THIRD PARTY IN THE SOUTH.

Representatives of the Farmers
Alliance in ten southern states have
been In session at Birmingham, Ala.
Their deliberations have been kept
secret, as far as possible, but it is an
nounced that the conference decided
to keep third party in the field in
the south, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean, and to issue circular advising
all members of the Alliance to vote
for third party candidates.
We believe that there is brainy
and resolute set of men in the south,
some of whom, from desire OF place,
power, or pelf, and others of whom,
FROM higher motives, are anxious to
disrupt the long-continued ascendency
of the Democratic party in that sec.
tion. We believe also that there are
hundreds of thousands of the plain,
hard-working taxpayers of that mis-
managed section of the republic who
are anxious to get rid of the incubus
of oligarchy; we believe that the num-
Der will increase and the anxiety grow
stronger, and that before many years
have passed away the solid south will
be memory only. But we do not
believe that the change will be effected
this year. We shall be pleasantly
surprised if any, one Of the southern
states, not counting West Virginia,
and, perhaps, excluding North Caro-
lima, fails to choose full ticket of
Democratic presidential electors. The
bugbear of "Negro supremacy" will be
strong enough to frighten nine tenths
of the alliance men in the south into
the Democratic lines.
Nevertheless, many of the Demo
cratic journals of the south, especially
those of Tennessee, Alabama and
Georgia, profess themselves alarmed
at the magnitude of the alliance re-
volt, and indulge gloomy forebodings
as to its effect upon the coming cleo
tion. This may be due in part to
thorough knowledge of the many
crimes that the oligarchs have COM
mitted against the long suffering tax.
payers of the south-for conscience
doth make towards of US all"-but it
is not uncharitable to suspect that the
southern press ostentatiously magnifies
its fears in the hope of false confidence
among the Republicans of the north
west. Having no hope of electing a
president by a majority Of electoral
votes, it is the southern policy to make
believe that there are strong probabil-
tiles of the election of third party
candidate, and, by diverting few
northern votes from the Republican
to the third party nominee, to throw
the election into the hands of the
Democratic majority in congress.
We do not believe that northern
Republicans will be lured by the
trick. The next president will be a
Democrat or Republican. A Re
publican if the fight be directly
between a Democrat and Republican
nominee; possibly a Democrat if many
voters heretofore Republicans, and
still stronger anti-Democratic, are de-
ceived into voting for third party
candidate by false hope of the possi-
bility of electing him.

The Arlington Record appears to be
well-grounded in the belief that the
people of the northwest are in favor of
the government building the portage
road, and in this he is mistaken. For
many years the producers of this re-
gion have anxiously looked forward
to an open river, when steamers
could transport freight from the high
est navigable waters of the Columbi
to seaboard without breaking cargo;
but this can never be accomplished by
portage roads, as the editor of the
Record vel! knows. The one at the
Cascades has reduced freight rates, and
one from this city to Cello would un-
doubtedly do the same thing. But
such improvements are not perma-
nent-they do not open the river-and
the public expect the government to
construct works that shall be lasting
For these reasons the TIMEs-MoUN-
TAINEER has always advocated the
principle that the state build the tenn
porary portage road, and the United
States the permanent Improvement.
Furthermore, when we wrote in favor
of the portage road at the Cascades, we
never intended it should take the
place of the locks; but only act as an
immediate relief to the grain and wool
ralsers, and continue as such until the
canal was finished. When Hon.
Binger Hermann ascertained the fact
that the railway portage would defeat
all appropriations for the locks and the
ship railway above this city-the plan
the board of q. S. engineers had
adopted for overcoming the obstruc-
tions in the river at this point and for
which the senate had passed bill
appropriating the necessary amount
he very wisely, for the best interests of
his constituents, opposed this item in
the River and Harbor bill. Our po-
sition on these matters have been un-
equivocally stated on different occa-
sions, and we believe the difficulty
with cur cotemporary Is, that, being

paper, he presumes he can make capi-
tai for his party by misstating us and
evading an expression of his own sen
,iments on the question.

c. P. Huntington, the president of the

interested In railroad building in Africa.
He has large sums of money invested in the
roads that are now being constructed on the
Congo River. Stanley Falls and the Trans
vaal lines
The principal promoters of these enter
prises are English, but a great deal of
American capital is also employed and
nearly all the big railroad magnates in the
United States have more or less shares in
African railroads.
IL is now intended to induce settlers, prin-
cpally farmers and fruit-raisers, TO emigrate
from the populated countries of Europe and
elsewhere to take up lands in the Congo
district for cultivation, for railroads in a
country without population would neces-
sarliy be losing enterprises. In a letter re-

There is but very little known in local

stated that the Santa Fe is not in condi-

known fact that the roads finances are
badly crippled, and that President Marvel
told the truth when he asserted that to hold

consider ii possible that money has been

be the first railroad company which will
