MOSTLY BLUSTER.

President Harrison's dignif1ed an.
swer to Lord Salisbury upon the Behr-
ing sea controversy, does not seem to
set well upon the followers of the for
tunes of that gentleman across the
water. Salisbury's partisans say that
the trouble is caused by American
politics, brought about by the ap-
preaching presidential campaign.
But this does not explain how Ameri-
can politics so affected Lord Salisbury
as to cause him to first shy the castor
into the ring. There is slight sus-
picion that Salisbury grabbed at this
as last straw to bolster up his sink
ing political fortunes. The reports
as to how the move takes among Eng
lishmen are somewhat conflicting,
but rather indicate that it is not a
very popular one among his politi-
Cal opponents. They undoubtedly
recognize the end for which it was in
tended and will refuse to be ensnared
by it.
But Lord Salisbury's buster will
have little weight with the Washing
ton government. President Harrison
has presented the same frmness in
dealing with it that he exhibited in
the Chilian controversy, and this fact
is noted by the British press. The
United States has no desire for war
with England; in fact, as Senator
Sherman well says, war under the cir
cumstances would be crime, and we
do not believe that the federal govern
ment will in any way attempt to pro-
woke war. but it will stand to the last
by the rights of the nation, and if
Salisbury wishes to take the conse-
ouences, that is his own lookout.
But it is folly for him to dictate the
coast limit when treaty to arbitrate
this matter has just been signed.
The American government is not in
the habit of allowing itself to be die
tated to in this manner. The dying
wall of the Salisbury government will
have no terrors for Uncle Sam, as
that gentleman will find out later.

The Need of Good Roads.

The Northwest Trade. Every such
change of weather as we have had
this week emphasizes the necessity
of good bodybuilding. 1t is the fash
ion to speak of our highways as very
good provided they are not hub deep
with mire or broken up into little
hills and wales by rough freezing. AS
a matter of fact we don't really know
what good roads are. No road is
good that offers serious difficulties to
travel at any time of the year, save
perphaps from drifted snow. A well
built road will never be muddy and
never rough. Its surface will be so
smoothly laid and it's foundation so
solid that frost will not crack, or rain
soak the crown. The road should be
hard, smooth and arched. How many
such roads are there in the North
west? Here is both the necessity and
value of good highways clearly put;
we quote from an article in the
Forum: Dad roads force people to
live in cities, good roads tend to take
them out into the country. This
observation reveals its force perhaps
more strikingly when read in view of
the facts OF railroad development, to
which the especial attention of the
American people has been given DUR
ing the past 40 years. The railroads
have centralized the population in
the cities and larger towns, and ar
ranged them along their lines of COM
munication. Now what is needed is
an equal development of carriage
roads to broaden the areas of popula-
tion and to relieve this congestion.
Railroads need better carriage roads
for feeders; farmers need them for
access to the railroads and to the
cities: manufacturers need them for
access to less populous areas, and for
lower rents and for less cost of port
age and transportation; merchants
need them as an element in the
cheapening of their wares: the people
need them for the reduction of the
expense of satisfying their wants and
for the more efficient distribution of
the activities.

SENATOR HILLS speeches in the
south don't show up very we'll beside
those made by President Harrison on
his trip last year. Hill clings to one
song, continually condemning the
very elements which have entered in
to the building up of the nation.
The attitude taken shows him up as
the rankest of demagogues. His talk
about political purity falls fiat as one
recalls his connection with one of the
most corrupt political organizations
in existence, while his talk about
home rule and the rights of the states
and the people is the idle vaporing OF
a political shyster, who has robbed
the people of his state of their rights
in legislative matters. In stepping
outside of the political arena of New
York Mr.. Hill has evidently slipped
into water somewhat too deepfor him

noticeable. We have noticed one or
two that for month or more back
have hardly known which way to
shift, have mustered up courage
enough to call Hill trickster and a
trimmer, but whether it is because of
his stealing the New York legislature
or shutting the Cleveland men out of
the Democratic convention, that
these harsh terms are applied, they
fail to state.

THE free trader says that the tariff
is added to the price of the article.
The Mckinley law places a duty on
salt of II cents per hundred pounds.
The manufacturers are selling salt at
a rate, which minus the cost of the
barrel, amounts to ten cents per 100
pounds. In this case it is hard to see
where the free traders can figure out
that the manufacturer adds the tariff
to the price of the salt, yet they are
getting rid of good deal of wind up
on the subject and may feel easier in
time.

MR.. SPRINGER is improving in
health and hopes to be able to close
the tariff debate on his free wool bill.
Should he do this it is to be hoped
that he will introduce into his speech
something besides the dry rot which
characterized Congressman McMil-
lan's opening speech. This consisted
simply of a distortion of facts. He
threshed over the old straw about in
creased prices for what we buy and
lower prices for what we. sell as a
result of the Mckinley law, when the
real facts of the case stared him in
the face, and this favorite free trade
story has been exploded time and
again. If the free traders have moth
ing better to offer than this old
chestnut, they had better shut up
shop an go home.

THE press has had much to say
about Jay Gould's $4,000 donation to
the Presbyterian extension, as though
it was something wonderful. $4,000
was not much of gift for Mr.. Gould.
With his great wealth it is doubtful
if he ever noticed the effort. Many a
man has given as much or less
amounts for religious, charitable or
educational purposes, to whom it was
an effort, yet it attracted little or no
attention.

But perhaps the greatest scheme
which Mr.. Wannamaker has in view is
that of free delivery for the rural dis
tricts. He recognizes thefact thatwhile
every thing possible should be done
to facilitate the distribution of the
mails in the cities, more attention
should be paid to the rural districts
than has been the case heretofore.
He has been experimenting with
rural delivery. and finds it successful
where tried. Free delivery could not

Postmaster General believes that the
experiment prove that it can be eX-
tended over the more thickly settled
portions of the country, with ultimate
profit to the department. The great
change that has been going on, and is
still being made in the methods of
farming, would make this move

POSTAL IMPROVEMENTS.

About the only noticeable point
where the federal government touches
the masses of the people is through
the postoffice department. In this
department every man, woman and
child is interested, and in many in
stances it's improvement is almost a
personal matter. The people do not
and never will approve of extraya-
gance in any department Of the gov
eminent, but in this department.,
legitimate expense, though it may be
large one, is never objected to, if it
promotes the public welfare by the
quick and correct transmission of the
mails.
The quick transmission of informa-
tion of all kinds for the benefit Of the
public has been the object of the de-
partment for years. With this object
in view we have noticed the evolution
of the mail service from the slow
going pack horse to the fast mail
train. But in this fast age of the
world, this is otfast enough to suit the
convenience of the people.
For years postal telegraphy has &C.
cupied the attention of the people,
and the subject has been widely dis
cussed pro and con. The great objec-
tion has been that it would not pay
and that a vast expense would be
thrown upon the people for the bene-
fit of the few. The telegraph in the
hands Of private corporations has
grown to be such monopoly. with
its capital stock largely watered,
reaching well on toward 100000, 900
that many have regarded it as an i'm
practicable scheme to attempt gov
ernment control of that business. In
fact the cost of getting lines to pene-
trate every nook and corner of the
republic has been the great bugbear
held up against attempting the same.
Then it has been added that govern
ment control would mean an increase
in government employees, which would
add additional fuel to the spoils sys-
TEN.
In the March Arena Associate Jus.
tice Clark, of the North Carolina Su-
preme Court, discusses this question
and makes proposition that does
away with much of the complication
that has hitherto gathered around
the subject. He would use the tele-
graph lines only between the more
populous centers, and branch
out into the country with
telephone lines. This would not
necessitate an extra army of govern
ment employees, for any one could at
tend to the telephone.
This plan seems to be agreeable to
Postmaster General Wannamaker who,
in recent interview, said there were
four things which the service needed
in the line of improvement. These
he names as telegraph and telephone
lines, rural free delivery and letter
boxes for the collection Of mail mat
ter. He does not believe in the own
ership of telegraph lines by the gov
eminent, nor would he leave them, but
make contracts for the transmission
of messages, the same as it now makes
contracts with railways for the trans
portation of mails. He would use the
telegraph in all cities that have free
postal delivery, and from these offices
run telephone lines out through
the rural districts. This would give the
masses of the people all the advan-
tages to be derived from postal tele-
graphy, and messages could be trans
mitted at such low rate that he
