o
severest tasks of journalism as relief
In certain fields of journalism woman is
unapproaehable, and the marvel is she has
not been engaged on editorial stats to a
greater extent than she has. But women
are making their way in tha profession and
may attain to the highest positions. Their
influence in politics would undoubtedly be
purifying one, and even II they took no
personal participation In conventions ana
Ofice-seeking. their services as critics with
clear eyes and honest intentions would be
valuable.
The explosion on the ship st. Charles was
not sufficiently violent to sink the vessel,
but there can be no question about the pru-
dence of the crew In taking to the beats.
Captain Anderson of the schooner Hayes,
from Seattle, sighted the unfortunate dere-
lict, and found that the hold contained
water to the extent of eleven feet. AS such
wreck was a danger to navigation he very
properly set 1t on fire, and In day or so it
would disappear. The causes ofkthe eXplO-
sion may well form a topic of discussion
before some of our learned societies.
A new railroad to the East is projected by
the filing Of articles OF incorporation by re-
sponsible capitalists, headed by Alvinza
| Hayward. The line is to be extended to
Salt Lake City, via Stockton. and by two
other corporations in Nevada and Utah GER
tain privileges of subsidy will be secured
The document Of incorporation filed in this
State only covers the road as far as Stock
ton. Even ii this part were constructed
we might at least have some competitive adj
vantages in the local traffic, and If the in
tentiOn be sincere to push the who'e road
through, benefit cannot fail to arise some
time TO our transportation facilities.
Complaint is made that the German
is foo oh
! personal expenses, principally OF travel,
while millions of his subjects are in abject
poverty and q considerable proportion Of
| them are In a condition bordering on star
walton. The Emperor means well and is
| sympathetic, but the contrast is great be-
! tween his life and that of the masses. The
J question may DO suggested whether the
masses would be any better off if his Ma
! jesty lived in state as simply as the Roi
/ d'1 yetot and rode about III his dOminiOnS
! on an ass. followed by dog. instead OF hav-
/ ing special railway trains and long TetinueS
| of cOurters and guards. He cannot spend
| his money this way without doing good
! The money is distributed into a hundred
/ channels and provides employment for vast
/ numbers. Those who rail at modern eX-
! travagance forget that every indulgence
! . sts money and employs labor If the
! Oeuent were all mISeTs we should have a
/ very poor world and very level plane OF
existence.
! Not too much should be thought of the
/ Canadians N London asking John Bull to
! take everything he wants from Canada and
! to leave out the United States in his mar
/ kets. John Bull has telescope for trade
! with pretty wide field, and just as we'll as
| anybody he knows that to limit his wheat
! supply or any other supply TO one country,
! even a colony that occasionally appeals 10
/ the mother county with a fillal whine,
! would be suicidal trade policy in the inter-
| est Of IS, 100000 people who cannot produce
| more than half their food on British soil.
! An extTaneous TODD supply that came solely
| from Canada would Result in present star
/ walton, and by and by other British colo
| MES clamOring for preference would remind
| Britain that the chlrrup of her own outside
! progeny was little less inharmOniOus than
! the song Of the foreigner on entering her
| ports. 4 free-trade country, with a great
! excess Of population beyond the food linn
! lis Of its own area, can only hold together
| as Great Britain does, by supplying various
countries with manufactures, while they
! furnish food and raw mater ais for manu-
( features. In the United States we have
| practically everything in food and raw ma
| terials within our own domain, and thus can
! keep house in self-cOn tanned independence
! Hence protection assists the United States,
| because We can do for ourselves what
! other nations would gladly undertake 10 do
/ provided they were paid for it. As we get
! stronger ia our manufactures we shall beat
/ Great Britain IN every market.
