FIGhT ENOUGH.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald says that the tariff
question will be reopened in both houses
as soon as Congress meets in De-
cember. The Herald correspondent has
probably been talking with the kind of
politicians who nominate a defeated can
didate for President for the same office
four years hence as soon as the news of
defeat reaches them. Their blood IS ND
and they want to fight. But after a few
days their ardor cools, and when the time
to nominate comes round they are quite
likely to throw up their hats for some
other aspirant. When Congress meets
again it will in all probability ignore the
tariff question entirely. Possibly some
bill may be introduced to correct mistakes
in the present act, but a general consider
alton Of the tariff will be impossib Bile.
Congress will expire by termination on
the 4th Of March. and there is much neces-
sary work TO be done. The Re- spublicans
in the Senate could, if disposed, preven.
action on the short term by exercising
their ordinary privilege of debate. In the
short session there will be good many
political corpses. Most Of them will have
died Of too much free trade. These will

The arch4an rocks, W which con stitute the

EXPLORING THE CONTINENT

The Canadians are setting US an ex.
ample of energetic geographical explora
ton which we ought to think of initiating.
Many years have elapsed since any mate
rial addition WAS made 10 our knowledge
OF Alaska. The En- glishman Glave was
the last traveller who enlarged our &C.
quaintance with that interesting portion Of
our territory, but no year passes that the
Canadians do not learn something new
about the corresponding part OF the
Dominion north of the fiftieth parallel.
Mention was made in this column a few
weeks ago of the expedition of Messrs.
Low and Eaton of the Canadian Geo
logical Survey through Labrador. 1t was
in May, 1893. that these gentlemen started
from Lake st. John, on the head waters OF
the Saguenay. to traverse the northeastern
territory and Labrador. parts OF which had
never been trodden by the foot of white
man. They marched to Ungana Bay, in
Hudson Straits. coasting round Lake Mis-
tassni, and crossing the innumerable
rivers which fall into Hudson Bay. From
Ungana they returned south, pursuing a
line nearly in the center Of Labrador, and,
striking Hamilton River. they crossed the
eastern part of the Province of Quebec,
coming out on the river at Mingan.
Thence they took boat and arrived at
Quebec on the 30th of August. Their re-
port will be interesting.

GIVE III A TRIAL.

Railroad organs are continually assur-
ing the people that there is nothing TO be
gained by the Government ownership of
the Pacific roads unless the Government
runs them al loss. Of course the idea
that the Government should incur loss
through comforting a benefit upon the
people is repelled with scornful reference
TO the cOmmunistic principle therein in
volyed. If the Government must incur
loss the corporations which have en-
joyed the use of Government money thirty
years are still ready to do business on the
old terms at the old stand. Both Govern
ments and individuals sometimes find 1t
profitable in the long run to incur a loss.
To the Government 1t is worth something
to know what is fair railroad rate under
given conditions. This is something no
American Government now knows. They
know that stuuendous fortunes have been
taken out of the railroad business and that
other railroads have become bankrupt.
The $500, 600 600 the Vanderbilts are max
ing such bad use of was made out of rail-
roads and the Vanderblts have always
claimed to give good service at fair price.
Still $780, 900, 900 is a good deal of money
to acquire in fifty years from legitimate
profits.
The Southern Pacific contends that 1t is
giving as low rates of interest as general
conditions will warrant. The people do
not accept the statement as approximately
true. Is il not worth something 10 the
Government to find out what transport
tion under given conditions really does
cost? The people do not see readily why
such fortunes as the Vanderbits', the
Huntingtons'. Staufords' aud Crockers'
should be extracted out of system which
is only entitled to reasonable profits.
