Cheaper Coal For New England.

The professors of McKin1eyism in New
England who have persistently declared
that the coal of Nova Scotia was of poor
quality and would not find market in
this country even if the duty should be
removed must be surprised by the con-
tinued manifestations of desire on the
part of New England capitalists to put
their money into Nova Scotia mines and
unworked coal areas. The Dominion
Coal company was the first of the large
corporations by which New England
capital was invested in the mines Of
Cape Breton island, and now there are
four more American syndicates seeking
charters like that which this company
obtained.
The most formidable of these is a
group of capitalists who are interested
in manufactures in New Bedford, Fall
River, Pawtucket, Providence and Bos-
ton, and these gentlemen have obtained
control of coalfelds on the western side
Of Cape Breton in which there are said
to be 200, 100000 tons. These fields have
not been worked because harbor and
railway facilities were lacking. The
mines and undeveloped deposits of the
Dominion company are on the eastern
side Of the island. The removal of the
duty on bituminous coal will doubtless
be followed by large importation from
this region for the use of New England
manufacturers York Times.

THE COST OF BAD ROADS.

The American people are generally
discussing the question of road i'm
improvement. While it may be said
that what is needed, is the improve
ment of the roads and not the dis
cussion, the talk will not all be for
naught. When all understand, as
they must surely understand if they
investigate the matter, that good
roads will, in the lessened cost of
transportation, pay good interest upon
the money expended in their construc-
ton, the improvement of the high
ways of the United States will not be
long delayed. The following from the
St. Paul Pioneer Press emphasizes the
waste Of poor roads:
One of the most valuable inquiries
undertaken by the Bradstreet's in it's
statistical is thst into the condition of
American country roads, the results
Of which are presented in a recent
number. These are, Of course, of the
most general character, because there
is no means of getting at the exact
cost of bad roads in any section Of the
country, and even the distinction be-
tween good road and a bad one too
often varies with local prejudice and
according to interest or Indifference.
But enough is shown to emphasize all
that has been said in favor of road
improvement; and if the people could
only once realize what the present
highways cost them, could be made to
understand that they are throwing
away millions of dollars every year,
and that the saving of this would, in a
short time, turn every country high
way into a broad, smooth, firm passage
for vehicles, road reform would move
more rapidly than it does.
The burden of such system. or
the lack Of all system, of highways
imposes on the producing pubic is a
very heavy one. All over the country,
but notably in the South and South
west, the roads are in such condition
as to check or entirely forbid wagon
traffic for period varying from one to
four months in the year. To add one
fourth tosthe valuation of farm lands
is one of the first effects of system
of good roads. But perhaps the most
interesting conclusion of all is the fl
nancial argument which goes to show
that the total amount of road tax paid
annually in the United States is prob
ably less than one half of the total
annual loss from bad roads.

THE HOME RULE BILL.

The conviction that the bill pro-
viding for Irish home rule will pass
the British parliament, and finally be-
come a law, has become universal and
well settled. A safe majority of the
commons favor it, and it's enactment
can only be delayed by stubborn re-
sistance on the part of the house of
lords. The following hopeful review
of the situation by The Madison
Times does not, we think, over esti-
mate the strength of British sentiment
in favor of Mr.. Gladstone and his
great measure:
The attitude Of the tories in oppo-
sition to the home rule bill was aptly
shown up in Lord Lalisbury's Belfast
speech few days ago. He recognizes
the conviction that the people of the
United kingdom hold that the bill is
just, and should become law, by sub
stantially conceding that it would pass
the commons. Although the house of
commons is imperfectly representa-
tive, it is the unionists, and not the
liberal party, which gain by the unjust
system Of electing members of par
lament. Hence, the passage of the
measure by the commons will demon
strate beyond dispute that the vast
majority of the British people are
with the grand old man in his splend-
id fight. But, Lord Salisbury says, the
British people will be thrown out by
the peers, and the "loyalists F" will be
protected. Lord Salisbury well knows
that such action by the house of lords
can only temporarily stem the current
of public opinion. The hereditary
branch of parliament may dare to
withhold its assent to the measure,
but if Gladstone lives and can retain
his physical and mental vigor, an
appeal to the country will surely for
tify him in his measures with great
parliamentary majority, and the house
of lords will never dare stand second
time before the people in the effectua-
ton of their will. The tories can only
hope that Gladstone cannot endure
another campaign. Their resistance
to the liberal policy has for many
weeks taken chiefly the form of most
outrageous viliication and abuse of
the premier, and efforts to weaken his
personal hold upon the public. These
efforts have. happily for Ireland, been
so directed as to ALLEVIATE just minded
people the world over from opposition,
and Gladstone's popularity becomes
more and more irresistible. May his
life and health be spared to complete
the work he has so CALAMITY under
| taken.
The great contest will be watched
with increased interest by the whole
civilized world.

Mckinley Overlooked Gas.

Mr.. Mckinley strangely overlooked
one article when he framed his tariff.
Natural gas is imported largely into Buff
falo from Canada. It enters by means
of pipes. It is not accompanied by any
invoice or consular certificate. The Gus
toms officials do not weigh or measure
or appraise it. Our own natural gas
men object to the pauper gas of Canada
and insist that it ought to be taxed at
least as much as the difference in wages
between the well borers of the two coun-
tries.
At last accounts the question had been
formally referred to the board Of gen
eral appraisers to determine whether it
is dutiable, and if SO at what rate.
There is q proyiso in the tariff law
which says that every article not emu
merated shall pay the rate of duty of the
enumerated article which 1t most nearly
resembles in material, quality, texture,
or the use to which it may be applied.
Natural gas most nearly resembles arti-
fetal gas, but it happens that the latter
is not mentioned in the tariff. There is
no gas in the Mckinley tariff except
laughing gas. There have been great
many decisions under the sinilitude
clause of the tariff law, but nearly all of
them have been based upon some man
ufacturing process to which the article
has been subjected.
Of course all these decisions are worth
less, because natural gas is never manu-
featured. The rule of construction laid
down by the supreme court in the case
of Arthur versus Fox is that if the ar
ticle bears no si1nilitude to any enumer-
ated article resort must be had to the
materials of which it is composed. What
Is natural gas composed of? Carbon and
hydrogen mostly. But these are also
unenumerated articles. So we find our
selves travelling in circle, and all be-
cause Mr.. Mckinley did not put some
gas into his tariff bill instead of expend-
ing it all in the congressional Debates

FRIDAY, JUNE 2, 1898.

The appointment of DR.. Wendell A.
Anderson as consul general at Mont
real will give great satisfaction to all
democrats of Wisconsin. The La
crosse Chronicle, published in the
Doctors home city, says:
Dr. w. A. Anderson is to be con-
graduated, and will be most heartily,
by everybody in La Crosse, on his re-
turn to consul general at Montreal,
which he filled so excellently for four
years. The appointment is proof that
Mr.. Cleveland's general purpose not to
reappoint men to the offices they held
during his former administration, was
no bar to recognition of peculiar fit
ness. DR.. Anderson will be cordially
welcomed back to Montreal.
