IN MASSACHUSETTS.

The advocates Of the machines in poli-
ties have been furnished with an argument
against the Australian ballot law by the
late election in Massachusetts, The facts of
the case are these: The Republican candi-
date for Lieutenant Governor was Roger
Wole0tt. The Prohibition candidate for
Governor was Walcutt Hamlin. The
large number of votes cast for
Walcott Hamlin leads the Republicans
to suppose that in marking tue ballots
voters became confused by the similarity Of
names. 1t is supposed that several thous-
and Republicans failed TO perceive any diff
terence between a surname and a baptismal
name and between a Nalcott and a VOL
cott This confusion led them to vote for
TWO candidates for Governor, the result be-
Ing That their votes were thrown out. in
effect they voted for none. The advocates
OF the machines In politics pretend to think
that the possibility of such error renders
the new ballot law unpractieable. Under
the old law each ticket would have been
separate and there would have been no
chance of voting for candidate onsano,her
ticket without doing so Intentionally.
Rather than preserve a system that re-
quires voters TO indicate their choice among
candidates the machine politicians would
restore the old system under which the
voter voted for lot Of men the machines

THE CANADIAN PROBLEM.

A cores pendent of the New York Sun is
furnishing that journal with a series OF let
tiers on the future relations of Canada and the
United States. He shows that but two lines
OF policy are open-unrestricted reciprocity
and complete political union. The latter he
considers inevitable since the former Is
impraetieable. Since 1916 Canada has been
working for free access to the American
market. BY the aid OF the Southern States
which feared the effect of a political union
with Canada a treaty was formed and
adopted which realized all the Canadians
desired. In eleven years the expectation OF
Canadian products TO the United States was
tripled. The strain in the relations between
Canada and the Home Government was
removed. The Home Government had
secured for Canada all that could be asked.
ana, consequently, the colonies had no cause
OF grievance. 1t Is not possible that the
Democratic party will make the mistake of
granting the Canadians unrestricted reel
prOclty. The Harrison administration indi-
Gated an American policy that will not be
widely departed from. Any treaty of
reciprocity with Canada must open her
market to American manufactured goods in
exchange for the American market for
Canadian natural products. Canada can
not enter into such reciprocity treaty with
the United States while il holds its present
political relations with Great Britain. The
Canadians. therefore, may peg away on their
own account or present themselves for ad-
mission to the American Union. AS con-
dition of the latter they must bring with
them the free assent of the mother country.
The United States can wait. While the
ground that Canada is not worth war
with Great Britain will not be taken. the
American people may rest upon the sound
principle that wars for the acquisition of
territory are unwise

BREAKING FAITH.

The correspondence between the British

Government that the American Govern

those expressly conceded to America by

conclusion the Chinese viii have to ignore

through the State or Foreign Department
that after a certain time an existing treaty

ABOUT WILD GEESE.

Colusa County in California is famous
for Its wheat fields. The harvest is abund-
ant and the farmers labor is generously re-
rarded by nature in genial cline. Many
other counties are not less favOrably cir
cumsfaneed. But there appears to be one
drawback plague OF wild geese settles
on the land when what we call winter sets
in. Ducks and quail are not serious dis
turbers OF farmers tranquility. They
may even be made profitable adiuncts of
his business. But geese are heavy and
hearty consumers Of grasses and the tender
shoots OF growing grain. and farmer who
beholds clouds of wild geese settling on his
land, thousand 10 the acre, is seriously
agltated how to get rid Of them. There is
nothing for 1t but rife practice. A few
good Winchesters will thin the swarm set
tied upon the acres and alarm the survivors.
but then they only take a short flight to
some other cultivators land and begin anew
their cackie as they gobble grass. The
number of geese that invade the wheat
fields are well nigh incredible. A Colusa
County girl is credited with having killed
$3.50 geese last year. With sixteen shots
from her Winchester she laid low sixtv-
seven birds. With 100000 birds spread
over 5000 acres the feat is not surprising.
The fact that there is small bounty on
goose heads indicates how serious the
nuisance is becoming. The farmer requires
the aid OF the taxpayer to protect himself.
There is one remedy for this goose inva-
sion. new industry should be started.
The wild goose should be canned and ex-
ported. Cooked into galantine, or simply
boiled CT roasted, it would find market in
the East and in Europe. The Australians
are returning their pest, the rabbit, to
Europe in cooked form. Californians can

RESTRICTING IMMIGR ALTON.

The opinion is gaining ground among
thoughtful men that some more efficient law
than has yet been adopted must be devised
to restrict immigration. The subject was
discussed recently at meeting held by the
Patria Club. New York. the speakers in
Guiding men from both the national parties
and all sections of the country. There was
no politics in the discussion in party sense
of the word, but good deal of the higher
range Of politics. There seemed 10 be gen.
eral admission that whatever laws were en-
acted must apply indiscriminately TO all
races and nationalities. 1t was held that
the eOmlties of nations would not permit US
TO bar out immigrants from one nation
while admitting corresponding classes from
other nations. There seems 10 be little
shoTtness of vision in this conclusion. The
right TO exclude an people from residence
in any part OF the globe is derived from The
ownership Of limited localities by people
represented by Governments. The people
in one couD try by a wise and faTsighted
policy make tier country an especially de-
sirable place Of residence. The right Of
emigration TO that desirable country then
depends upon the recognition Of the exclu-
siye right of a people to conditions they
have largely created. The United States at
emigrahts. People come here from thickly
settled countries and from thinly settled
countries. They come from the North and
the South. the East and the West. They
come in such plumbers that they threaten to
subvert the conditions which in the main
attract them.
1t is appTehended that so many may come
that the condition of the worker will be
q har in ha
which emigTants chiefly come. The humani-
tarlans used to say that we had no right to
check this tide of immigration. They are
now inclined TO admit that we may check it
but urge that in so doing measures must
apply as well to nations which send us few
immigrants as 10 nations that could over
run us with their surplus people without
feeling the loss. The New York Times saws
concerning restriction that I've cannot in
The face OF existing treaties discriminate
against immigration from any particular
nation or race" That journal adds: 'To
this rule We have already made one signal
and GisgraCeful exception by excluding the
Chinese in direct violation of our national
faith" The Times seems under the impress
sion that treaty between nations is a per-
maDent law. On the contrary their tenn
porary existence is universally provided for

tice. Changing conditions require change
of politics. There was a time when the
United States wanted all the Immigrants
that could be induced to come. Now the
conditions " hich have made our own people
the most prosperous on the globe are threat
ened By the influx of immigrants from the
four quarters of the earth. Perhaps the
soundest international law is that nations,
as we'll as individuals, may care for their
own with due regard to the real rights OF
other people.

LET 1T BE PERMANENT.

At the meeting OF the NOn-Partisan Com
mittee held on Saturday the chairman Of
the campaign committee read a report
which embodied the following resolution:
Res0lred hat this committee suggests 10 the
chairman Of the convention that he, as soon as
practicable, issue call for the members of the
convention 10 assemble, at such time aud place
as he shall designate, for the purpose OF taking
proper action TO perpetuate the organization
OF lie Citizens Non Partisan party OF San Fran.
tisco
1t does In reality seem to be a duty for the
Non-Partisans TO perpetuate their existence.
What should be the scope OF their future
operations, and what particular aim they
should seek at the next election, it is at this
moment impossible to foresee. That must
depend on the course of events and the
shape which political issues may assume.
But judging from the past, it is hardly likely
that both of the existing parties will eschew
their vicious proclivities so completely that
the people can afford to dispense with a
party exclusively charged with the duty of
antagonizing corruption and boss rule.
The Non-Partisans were organized for the
purpose of overthrowing the ring which
had obtained control of the Republican
party in this city. That purpose is accom-
piished. Ii the party which owes its adj
vent to power TO Non-Partisan effort should
admin ister the affairs of the city and State
with fidelity and honesty the NOn-P artisans
may enjoy period Of rest from their labors.
But if NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. should begin to
crop out in city affairs or the corruptions of
1891 should be revived in the Legislature of
1898, the People will expect the Non-P arti-
san leaders 10 grid up their loins for a new
struggle against new antagonist. And II
will be well when that emergency happens
that they should have their machinery such
as IL is in working order. They have won
considerable share of public confidence
they would probably find their strength
greater in a second campaign than it was in
the first. If people bad understood on the
morning Of Noyem Der 8 how much they had
accomplished their vote would have been
larger than it was.
There is no better basis for political
pariy-whether on small or on a large
feld-tian opposition to corruption and
boss rule. That always commands the an
proval Of the masses, simply because it is
almost always founded on good grounds.
it Is likewise always safe TO oppose the cor
railing Of voters in a party pen for the pur-
Jose Of carrying measures which are in no
wise connected with the principles of the
parry. Bad men are elected and enab ed to
carry corrupt schemes by dwelling upon the
fidelity of the men TO doctrines which are
as FAR apart from the schemes as the poles.
1t is the business of a non-partisan organi-
zatlon TO guide them in this discrimination.
