TARIFF CONFEREES AGREE.

There is one point in the agreement the
conference committee is reported to have
reached which raises doubt if the report
viii be satisfactory TO the two houses.
The agreement puts iron on the free list
and places duty of 40 cents ton on coal.
These two articles should go together in
tariff based upon principle. Both might
be admitted free or both might be SUBJ
jected to duty, but it is not easy to see why
one should be taxed and the other relieved
from taxation. Both are what is known
as competing products-that is, both are
produced in this country and both are i'm
ported 1t is not difficult TO understand
that the Senate should have agreed to let
iron in free with the duty as proposed Oh
coal. as a check is thus administered TO
the President. Senator German declared
in the Senate that free coal was made
part of the administrations programme
through an understanding between Mr..
Cleveland and Mr.. Whitney. and minated
that their understanding antedated the
Chicago convention. Senator Chandler
has made this declaration the basis for a
resolution for an investigation. which the
Senate has not yet acted upon. 1t looks.
therefore, as if the compromise TO put iron
on the free list and coal on the dutiable list
was not reached in theinterest of harmony
between the President and certain Sena-
tors, whatever may be the feeling of the
Senate generally

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.

Reports from New York do not exactly
agree as to the real object of Mr.. Smith NJ
Weeds visit to London. 1t is intimated
on one hand that he is authorized 10 ac-
cept offers from British syndicate to fur
nish capital to construct the canal, and on
the other that his purpose is TO give Con-
gress seeming alternative to pass the
pending canal bill or take the respon sibil-
iy of allowing the enterprise TO pass un-
der foreign control. The report is that an
English syndicate is prepared to furnish
the amount of money required, which is
estimated at $50, co., 900. To what extent
the officials of the canal company are
responsible for this report is not known.
The Philadelphia Record does not believe
that English capitalists have authorized
any such expectation as is reported The
journal says:
If English capitalists could be persuaded to
put their money into this undertaking 1t would
afford happy solution OF the question. Con-
gress would be relieved OF most pertinacious
lobby that has at last wrested from the House
Committee on Commerce a bill which proposes
10 saddle the entire cost of digging the Mica
ragua canal upon the American people. But
while English capitalists are sometimes daring
and even reckless IN their Investments, they
have manifested remarkable suspicion and
shyness in regard to such projects as this
oceanic canal.
The Record is likely to be well informed
on this subject. The tone of the article
from W hich the above was taken defines
the Records position as to the canal as an
American investment. If 1t is OF good
place for American money it certainly
cannot be a good place for British money.
If the canal should pass under foreign con-
troll questions would arise that might lead
to international complications. On this
point the conservative New York Times
remarks:
If the Nicaragua canal Is built with English
capital its financial control will pass into the
hands of Engishmen, and then, In case Of an
appeal to Government for protection, the
Government appealed to will be the British
Government. and il may find il expedent 10
exercise very substantial kind of control on
its own account.
The very substantial control referred to
would hardly pass unnoticed by the
American Government. When the French
company to build the Panama canal was
organized it was found necessary to define
limit upon the right of the French Gov
eminent 10 interfere for the protection of
French investors in the enterprise. The
American people then as now were alive
TO the consequence of permitting Euro
pean power TO secure a foothold on any
neck of land separating the waters of the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Should Eng
lsh capitalists put SS0.000.0O0 into the
Central American canal the administra-
ton that succeeds Mr.. CleveIand's will find
it necessary TO pronounce for or against
the Monroe doctrine. These possible COM
plicatons can be avoided by the enact
| ment of the bill now before Congress to
| take the construction of the canal prac.

RAILROAD DEATH RATE.
The New York World saws:

The New York World says:
The railroads seem to have mortgage on
the preamble committee in the constitutional
convention. 1t remains TO be seen whether
they Will be able also TO establish lien upon
a majority in the convention itself.
If there is any convention, constitutional
or otherwise, which the railroads have not
a mortgage upon, the people would like to
know where ii is being held. The only
difference the public can perceive is that
in some States the exercise of the power
of control is more arbitrary than in others.
The Legislature Of New York enacted a
law limiting the amount of fine for killing
a human being if done by railroad cor
poration to $4,000 A resolution was sub
mitted by the preamble committee in the
constitutional convention prohibiting the
fixing of such limit by act of Legislature.
The preamble committee reported sd-
Versely upon the resolution. 1t is con-
tended that railroad corporations should
not be liable to a high fine for taking
human life, for the reason that the act of
killing is not accompanied by malice. But
killing is quite often the result of careless
ness, which is an outgrowth of limited
liability. The established fact that trains
on European railroads are run at high
rate of speed with much less loss Of life
in proportion to the passengers carried
shows the paIural effect of such law as
the Legislature enacted. II juries were
allowed to assess damages In proportion
10 the degree Of carelessness proved, the
railroad death rate would be lowered.

LOBBYING.

Senator Aliens bill against lobbying
draws line between the habitua lobbvisI
who appears in behalf of any measure
which can afford to pay him and the &C.
casional lobbyist who works for. a bill
presumably for the good of the public. 1t
will be pretty difficult. however, to draw a
line between the two. While there are
measures upon which legislators need en-
lightenment the occasional lobbyist does
not confine himself to measures for the
public good If public-spirited citizens who
have especial knowledge on measures to
coma before a legislative body. could be
allowed hearing without extending like
privileges to schemers who urge only their
own interests, wise legislation would
doubtless be promoted. But it is not easy
