the circle OF views he caught from the tops
OF some Of the highest mountains. is an eK-
hIbitlon Of snow-wrapped peaks that none

trating fact that geologists have often
explained. These peaks and points. they tell

comparatively young. for older mountains.
like those OF Scandinavia and the Appala-
chians, have been worn down and rounded
by the forces OF weather.
New York ls indebted to the Appalachian
Mountain Club and to the American Geo

We wish that Mr.. EDWARD ATKINSON or
Mr.. DAVID A. WELLS would prepare sta
tistlcs showing the probable number Of
persons that will be affected by the CLEvE-
LAND Commune tax on corporations. For the
instruction Of the clerks and typewriters
and saleswomen and school teachers and
stevedores and all the other wage workers
who have been indiscreet enough to lay up
a little money against a rainy day. and for
the particular benefit Of the widows and
wards whose little holdings are about to be
struck by the CLEVELAND Commune. we
once more repeat the list OF the prescribed :
"Tnsrs shall be levied and collected tax OF two per
cent per annum the net pronts or income above
dinary working or operating expenses OF all banks

ations companies or associations doing business for

Cannot Mr.. WELLS and Mr.. ATKINSON es-
timate with some accuracy the number Of
the victims? Aside from the general sta
tistical and economic value and interest Of
such an estimate. 1t would have practical
political bearing. 1t would indicate ap-
proximately. with the proper subtraction
for minors. the number OF the first batch Of
citizens demanded for sacrifice by the
CLEVELAND Commune. 1t would not be
necessary to make any deduction for the
women. They will find men enough to de-
fend them when their pockets are picked.

Inland Coast Waterways.

The voyage OF the torpedo boat Cushing
from Washington to New York furnishes a
practical illustration OF the advantages for
seaboard defence which are furnished by
the peculiar conformation OF our Atlantic
coast line.
The Cushing, starting down the Poto-
mac to Chesapeake Bay. proceeded up the
bay to Chesapeake City. and thence. by tho
canal. crossed the peninsula to the Della
ware River. Continuing north. she en-
tered the Delaware and Raritan Canal. and
a course thence through the Raritan River
and Raritan Bay brought her to New York
waters. She carried weight equivalent to
her full outfit In time OF war.
And this is not the first experiment OF the
sort. Admiral LUCE. in the tug Vixen. once
made a similar voyage. starting south
ward from New York: while q subsequent
trip of Lieut.. BALDWIN in the revenue
cutter Morrill, continued the demonstration
further southwark. by showing the practi-
cability Of reaching Charleston through the
inland waters between the North Edisto
and Ashley rivers. But the voyage OF the
Cushing is that OF a war ship In actual
commission. and thus illustrates practi-
cal possibility for existing vessels OF her
type. without any change In the inland
waterways.
The subject has been considered one OF
such Importance as TO call for surveys for
much more extended line OF coastwise
waterways. connecting the chief Atlantic
cities all the way from Massachusetts to
Texas. Taken in its largest scope. it would
begin by cutting canal through Cape Cod

Long Island Sound would give sheltered

down tho Delaware. and by canal into
Chesapeake Bay. would be exactly that
which the Cushing has just taken. Pro-
eeeding to Norfolk, there would be a
choice OF ways by the Albemarls and
Chesapeake or the Dismal Swamp canal
routes TO North Carolina waters. There
Currituck. Albemsrle. and Pamlico sounds
are met. and they would he supple
mented by artificial tide-watsr connec-
tions between the Neuss and Cape Fear
rivers. Thence. apparently. there must be
a resort to the opan sea for stretch on ths
South Carolina coast. unless a very con
siderable expense for new construction
should be incurred Beyond would come
the sounds and bays OF South Carolina and
Georgia. while q costly canal would DO

have no effect whatever upon the Congress

The American policy respecting Samoa ls
the policy defined by Secretary BAYARD,
and affirmed by President CLEVELAND.
This country will refuse. like Mr.. BAYARD.
to tolerate any movement by which Samoa
might pass under the domination Of a
foreign sovereign. This is equally true OF
possible English. as well as possible Ger
man protection. This country will insist.
Like Mr.. CLEVELAND. that sthe autonomy
and independence OF Samoa shall be scrupu-
lously preserved, according to the treaties
made. and the understandings and agree
