LONDON, Feb. 16.-The story
circulated to the effect that Emperor

evening that it was probable he
would pay visit to the Worlds

The Anti-Option Bill.

The Anticipation bill. which was passed
by the House OF Representatives on the
9Th instant. in spite Of the opposition OF n
largo number of tho moro thoughtful and
conservative Democrats. came before the
Senate last week and was referred to the
Committee on tho Judiciary.
1t ought TO have been referred to the
waste paper basket or tho Senate cat.
The measure is unconstitutional, I'M
democratic. and II sham.
1t Is unconstitutional because It assumes
the power. on the part Of the national Gov
eminent. to regulate sales of personal
property. 1; subject with which that Gov
eminent has nothing to do outside OF the
Territories and the District Of Columbia.
1t is undcmocratic because. even IL the
national Government has tho constitu
tonal power thus to regulate sales OF per-
sonal property, it is the policy OF the DEM
ocratic party to leave such regulations to
the Governments OF tho several States.
It is sham. because it is put forward In
the Guiso OF n bill to raise revenue. whereas
its true purpose Is not to raise revenue at
all, hut to prohibit short sales Of cotton,
grain. and pork products.
Mr.. AMOS j. CUMMINGS. Representative
in Congress from the Ninth New York dis
trict explained in THE Sun last Sunday
just how this extraordinary bill was passed
by the House. and illustrated its operation:
ITO show how II might work. we will say that farm
hand knows where he buy barre, or pork for So
lie salted i, down for his employer. IIe meets man
who is Wiling give SO for It, AMI he sells it. I!o
then the pork from his employer and delivers It,
netting about So for himself For this little
ton under this b.ll he may be imprisoned for ten
and fined $4,000. He has been unwttinsy deal
ing in options ana must pay the penalty"
No wonder he added: States Rights Dem.
ocrats are aghast.
This is sort of lcGisla t,u.. % which tho
Republican party sho"' i be allowed to enjoy

Effect OF tho Fall in the Prices OF Sugar
and Tobacco.

AMSTERDAM. Juno o.-The Dutch colony OF
Doll In Sumatra. smPll but important and
extraordinarily wealthy state on the north
east coast OF tho island. Is struggling with a
grave financial and commercial crisis which
threatens almost tho existence OF the State.
Indeed. tho crash may have come already.
The drop In values in the colony within the
last two years resembles the commercial de-
preston in the British West Indies when
slavery was abolished and King Sugar was
dethroned. From the realization OF profits Of
over 100 por cent. per year in 1890 the Deli
tobacco planters have come to tho necessity Of
abandoning their estates by Wholesale. This
year there are 1853 fewer tobacco fields I'M
der cultivation than last year: and thirty-nine
estates havo been closed. the laborors sent
ont OF the colony. and tho land abandoned to
tho Jungle which. In the course OF a twelve
month. will effectualiy wipe out all traces Of
cultivation and improvement.
The direct cause OF tho crash Is tho same

PARTS Of the world. Deli Is country with but

Canada and tho United States.

It is manifest that the Canadian Govern
mont Is disposed to make itself offensive to
us. No equitable reciprocity with Canada
Is possible ut present. 1t persists In DENY
ing to our citizens rights guaranteed by
treaty. and the recent conference concern
ing the discrimination against us In tho
matter OF the tolls on Canadian canals has
come TO naught.
Tho course for US to pursue. then. is plain,
We must leave Canada to get along without
help from us. or necessity, its prosperity
depends upon It's trade with US. We are its
nearest and best customers. il 1t wants to
fight with its bread and butter, let 1t wage
the contest.
This petty dependency Of Great Britain Is
sacrificing its own welfare in the effort to
spite this great country. which meanwhile
is drawing from It tho lifo blood OF its en-
terprisc. Apart from us. and with what
ever encouragement we may give it. Canada
will always be engaged in hopeless and
ruinous competition. Yet in Its blind
ness It pursucs II policy which intcnsi-
ilcs the competition and hnstcns its
doom. It's population. unable to get along
ut home, are coming to us. Its oldest and
richest provinces are falling backward. Its
farms are decreasing in value. though.
simultaneously. tho public debt grows
larger and already constitutes burden
under which even strong and growing
State would be rcstivc.
If Canada elects to 80 on In this course Of
decay. it is not our business to Interfere
with its suicidal intention. Wo Gun only
stand alOos and let tho Dominion TAKE tho
Consequences OF it's folly and its silly spirit
OF opposition to ls and its own interests.
The result will be that Canada will no
poorer when II comes knocking for admis
sion into tho great republican Union. 1t
may have barely strength enough to drag
itself to tho door and utter its plea and
plaint to get in. 1t is not a case Of starving
nm enemy into submission. 1t Is case of
allowing u competitor to dash its head
against n wall because it will not pass
the cato that leads to life aud
prosperity.
great republic OF 100000 people Is
bound to boat down such feeble compcti-
tion aud 1t needs only to stand still to
crush it out. Let Canada try to get along
without US while we show it how easy 1t is
for us to get along without Canada.
Conferences and negotiations have not
taught Canada wisdom. Now let her learn
from tho experience Of being left to herself
while We go our own way without under
taking TO Ia;c any terms with her,
