The New Political Policy.

In The Review of Reviews DR.. Albert
the meaning of the change Of political
parties in this country. For period Of
80 years, from 1851 to 1893, the Repub-
hcan party controlled either wholly or
in part the political policy of this nation.
The period of 30 years represents dis
tinct phase of progress In our history.
II was the period Of the development of
the national idea. The war settled it
that the Union is greater than any state
in it and that it has power to maintain
our territorial integrity. In the line Of
national growth and expansion was the
protective tariff. which was an insep-
arabic part OF vast plan for 1.-THE ma
terial expansion and industrial maturing
of the great newborn nation of the west
The policy of the Republican party
was distinctively constructive national
policy. The great Pacific railroads, ma
tional banking, a huge internal revenue
system, pension rolls that heightened
till the country found itself paying out
a third of the national income to Union
soldiers OF their survivors--all this was
part of the same magnificent national
constructive policy So were the build
ing of the new navy, the organizing and
bringing into the Union of state after
state in the west and northwest.
But the reaction came. By what might
be called long continued aggressive
constructive policy the Republican gov
eminent fell under the suspicion of hay
ing allied itself too closely with great
capitalists and moneyed interests, DR..
Shaw thinks, and the vote last Novem-
Der said. The Republicans must CO."
The people proclaimed themselves tired
of the long activity and in want Of rest
and more negative national policy. In
the Judgment of DR.. Shaw that is what
Democratic control means. He does not
think any radical or violent changes will
be made, bat there will be simply IRE
vision, economy, reform of abuses
Pensions win be severely reduced, and
subsidies and bounties are marked for
destruction" The editor adds cheerful
ly, ut is usually best to dismiss the
party of energy after time. for its &C
tivities viii tend to become meddlesome
and pernicious." Whether the next con-
structive party viii be the Populist, or
whether the Republican party will gather
itself up and go in and win again after a
time, DIR. Shaw seems to consider the
chances about even.

LYNDEN MOTOR LINE

The prospects of the Lynden motor
line are looming up brighter than ever.
Those who are most interested in the
project say that the money for its con-
struction is within sight" and that
work on the road will be under way be-
fore long. The building of this line is
of much more importance to New
Whatcom than its property holders and
residents generally appear to realize.
New Whatcom's prosperity depends
quite largely on the development Of its
back country, and as means of COM
munication between the two are facili-
ated, so will increase the traffic be-
tween the two sections. Large ship.
ments of vegetables are brought to the
merchants of the Bay cities from Cali
fornia, not because of any lack of fer
tility in the Whatcom county soil so
much as because the condition of some
of the country roads brings
California nearer Bellingham Bay
than some parts Of the coun-
ty itself, Moreover, tourists and
visitors who come TO the Bay with a
desire to discover some Of the merits of
the country lying behind it, are forced
to accept all testimony on the subject
of the soils richness as matter of faith,
no means of sight, compatible with
safety of life and limb, being accessible.
Increase in the farming population and
facility Of transportation throughout its
entire extent are two elements Of i'm
provement greatly needed in this coun-
ty, in securing the latter of which, and
proving auxiliary to obtaining the
former, the Lynden motor line will
prove most important factor. 1t is to
be hoped that the rumors of its speedy
construction have solid foundation.
The enterprise is worthy of success and
deserves hearty and generous endorse
ment.

The salary of the British minister to
the United States was a little less than
$4,000. Now that Sir Julian Paunce-
fote has been raised to the rank of en-
bassador his pay will be raised accord
ingly. The British ambassador to Ger
many receives about $4,000 annually,
while the one at Paris gets nearly 49,
600 year, or only $1,000 less than the
president of the United States. Our for
eign ministers to European governments
have heretofore been obliged to spend
much more than their salaries. which at
the greatest have been only $4,000
That is paid to our minister at London.
Our ambassadors must have their pay
raised at once. The United States can
not afford to skimp in foreign lands her
public servants of the highest dignity.

1t is now currently reported upon
what appears to be good authority that
Washington, contrary to her fond antic-
ipations and the promises of the COM
mission, is not to have a representation
of minerals at the Worlds fair at all
commensurate with her splendid re-
sources even at the present stage Of de
velopment. Many districts will have
no representation whatever, and taken
all in all, the mines of this state, which
are at some time not far distant des-
tined to add princely revenue to her
resources, will be but little better off on
account of the Worlds fair, 1t is TO be
hoped that this report is erroneous, as
the opportunity offered for calling the
attention Of capital to the rich posi-
bilities Of mining in Washington Is un-
equaIled, and the commission will come
in for deserved criticism If they are
found at fault in the matter.-West

A Strike and a Boycott.

The decision of Judge Taft of the
United States circuit court at Toledo in
the case of the Ann Arbor railroad suit
shows the difference between a strike
and boycott in a way that is thorough
ly clear to the mind Of person who is
neither lawyer nor a member Of a
trades union. A strike is quitting work
by employees who are dissatisfied with
the terms of their employment. En-
ployed persons have a right to strike,
and persons have a right to take or quit
work at any time, but in case of rail-
roads the decision of Judge Taft lays
down the precedent that the right to
boycott the goods of other roads must
not be permitted.
The interstate commerce law requires
that all railroads shall offer equal facili-
ties to all others in the handling Of
freight and passengers. Refusing to
handle the freight of any road by the
employees of another road is unlawful,
therefore The following important
principle is laid down: While doing the
work Of the company the employee is
the company" In brief, Judge Taft's
decision amounts to this; Railroad en-
ployees may strike or quit the service of
q company when they like. As long,
however, as they are in the service of a
company, doing its work and receiving
its wages, they shall not refuse to trans
fer the freight and passengers of any
other road merely because the employees
Of that particular road are on strike, or
for any other reason. The interests of
the public will not allow this

The prison parole system will be tried
in California, the governor having APP
proved the bill to that effect. Under
this system prisoners who have served a
part of their term and have good con-
duct during that time to their credit
may be released on parole during the rest
Of their term. If during this time of
probation they lead honorable and indus
trious lives, then at the end of the term
the sentence is Cancelled. They are
watched closely during the probation
and rearrested and made to serve out the
full remaining term if caught in any mis-
demeanor. The advocates of this plan
believe it will encourage ex-convicts to
become good citizens. In California
1000 prisoners will be let out on parole
under the new law.

Detective Work as a Profession.

The growth of the detective profession
has been brought home to us by recent
publication in an evening contemporary.
A private detective office in London was
reported to have sent out an extraordi-
nary number of detectives-as they
doubtless prefer TO be called-for en-
ployment at the Chicago exhibition, and
our contemporary had interviewed the
chief of the Office upon the subject. The
number of detectives actually likely to
be employed on this occasion proved to
be very much smaller than was at first
reported, but for all that they were suffi-
GENTLY numerous to prove fairly large
demand for their services.
In other respects, however, the account
that this gentleman gave of his business
was of interest, though the interest was
not always of pleasant kind. He sug-
gested that use for his men would be
found by financiers and business men,
who might require secret agents work
ing in business transactions-hnding out
market secrets, inventions, watching
what spectators are doing and that
sort of thing" and he assured his hearers
that chat sort Of thing is becoming
much more general in England"
We are sorry to hear it for tho credit
of English commerce. Most Of them, he
admitted, would do private work-so-
cial matters needing investigation and
things of that sort" That sort of
thing" and "things Of that sort" are
somewhat indefinite expressions; never
theless, under the circumstances, they
are quite definite enough. Our imagina-
ton is equal to the task Of filing in the
blank, though it is hardly equal to our
distaste for the blank when filed in
London Spectator.

France knows how to punish public
officials when they are guilty of taking
brides. Baihaut, the corrupt ex-minister
of public works, must be imprisoned Eve
years, pay fine of $4,000, lose his
rights as a citizen and pay back TO the
receiver Of the Panama Canal company
part Of the $4,000 which he took from
the company as his price for promoting
their interests. Blondin, who was fhe
go between for Charles de Lesseps and
Baihaut, gets two years imprisonment,
while Charles de Lesseps gets five years.
The three men together-Baihaut, De
Lesseps and Blondin-must pay back to
the Panama company's receiver the f75,-
900 which was paid from its treasury as
bride to Baihaut.
