When the British Minister undertook 10 tell
American citizens how they ought to vote he
had the kindcSt possible motives, so far a. MI
Cleveland was concerned and was anxious to
help in securing his reelection in order TO
promote the business interests of the English
ncoplc. The effect of his letter when pub
liShcd wa, 10 put Mr.. Cleveland before the
American people rs an English candidate. and
that was highly disastrous to the Free Trade
Democracy. In the same way Mr.. Mac\ c2gh
meant no harm when he opened his Free Trade
speech with an assault upon Minister Egan.
4 political Burchard never intends mischief ;
his motives are always virtuOus but he has
a fatal genius for laundering. Mr.. MacNcagh,
like the British Minister. was most sincere and
honorable in his desire to help Mr. Cleveland :;
vet. by an act of unprecedented folly or ms
calculated zeal. he has created an Irish revolt
against the Democratic moral issue" English
Free Trade. But. of course, there can be no
question Of motive i'll the case.

1t is interesting to know that Europe
has taken hold in earnest on state in
surance plans, that statesmen in all
the chief countries OF western Europe
are concerning themselves with the
matter, and that valuable results al
ready have been attained. In the
light of Europe's experience it should
be easy for the United States in COM
ing years to act wisely in regard to
the insurance Of aged and sick work
ingmen against want.

Ir may come to this. then, that So
ciety will say to those who shut of
such treasures from the use OF the
public rather than submit to just laws:
You may cease to work these mines
yourselves, but if you do the state will
condemn them to public use as it con
dennis land for various public uses.
and on like terms. This may posi-
bly, be the heroic remedy if men choose
to produce artificial scarcity and de-
prtve laborers Of employment rather
than yield obedience to reasonable
laws.

A QUESTION may eventually force
itself upon public attention. Shall
natural resources be shut off from the
enjoyment Of the public by individu-
ais or corporations because they viii
not submit to the operation Of just
and reasonable laws? 1t is on grounds
Of public policy rather than Of pri-
vate ownership Of such treasures OF
nature as coal, iron and the like is
permitted and defended. There is a
right OF eminent domain in political
society which may be asserted and ex-
ercised so far as may be necessary to
secure the public welfare.

IRRIGATED lands have supported the
worlds greatest populations and the
experience OF ages has proved that an
acre of land properly treated with wat
en- from ditch will produce far more
than acre that is dependant upon ca
PRECIOUS rainfall. Those who irrigate
in parts Of France and Italy where the
rainfall is greatest know right well
what they are doing and there are
thousands Of places in the United
States where the people will do the
same thing before the lapse Of another
century. 1t is in this way that the
food problem Of the future must be
solved.

The career OF jay Gould would have
been impossible in any other land but
this. Had he lived in France. or Ger
many, or England, and sought to ac
cumulate wealth in those countries by
the methods he has pursued in this.
he would have been landed in some
penal institution long ago. But as he
is an American, and as, at a time when
the New York courts were venal, he
had the means TO command them. thus
escaping scott free when he com
mitted his greatest crimes, it is not
likely that with his vastly increased
wealth he will ever meet in this world
the condign punishment he SO Justly
deserves. He IS an example or the
successful highwayman; OF the robber
who gets away with his stolen goods
and converts them without discovery.
IL is the enormous scale OF his opera
tions that dazzles the world and makes
his success atone for his crimes. And
yet morally he is no better than a
common embezzler or Il bunko steerer
sHh9 lures his victim into a skin game.
