Ham pton does not know what the Govern
ment would do with tho roads If 1t owned
them. Railroad management by Congress
would, in his opinion, be doubtful ana
dangerous experiment. He concludes.
therefore, that the best of the three ways
is to let the companies run the roads and
require them to contribute larger share
of their earnings to sinking fund than
heretofore. This Recommendation will
not greatly disturb the equanimity OF the
railroad owners. They will retain control
of the roads and will add TO their contribu-
ton to the sinking fund when it is con-
venient to do so. When it is not coDven-
lent it will be as difficult for the Govern
ment to take possession as it now is. Mr..
Hampton does not keep In mind the fact
that the Government has TO deal with men
who have systematically evaded their
obligations to the Government. If he had
kept this fact in mind he weuld in all
probability have reached the conclusion
that the way to collect debts to collect it.

STATE BANKS.

a contem porary says that there is no
possibility Of the passage of bill repeating
the State bank tax without substituting
requirements that would MAKE the local
notes as safe as those of the national
banks" And then the pu blic is informed
that there may be some sentiment in Wash
ington in favor of unconditional repeal,
but that there is not enough of 1t to be
dangerous. A little more definite infOrma-
tion about the requirements TO be imposed
upon State banks by Congress would be
rscsived with the pleasure which attends
the satisfaction Of long-fslt want. For a
good many years it has been held that the
States held the power to legislats concern
ing State banks. The Democratic party
has been the champion of States rights 10
this as in other respects. 1t now appears
that Congress may impose the conditions
upon which it will repeal the present tax
on State bank circulation.

BRITISH EXPANSION.


A writer in the North american ReUiew
has constructed large place for England
to occupy in the early part of the twen-
tieth century. He assumes that imperial
federation. or, as he prefers 10 term it,
Britannia federation, will within a quarter
of century or SO be accomplished. Can
ada ard Australia will prefer to be a part
of the greatest empire the sun has ever
shone upon rather than to be In sign ificant t
independent states. They will join in the
carrying out of the imperial policy of
maintaining a girdle about the earth by
means of colonies, the safety of which is
assured by the supremacy of England
upon the sea. The United States is to be
considered as a kind of blood relation with
an inheritance Of its own. 1t is not pro-
posed to make the United State. part of
the Britannia federation, but to secure Its
friendly neutrality by binding the Britain
mic federation to render active assistance
in the event of a formidable European at
tack. Only bv some such understanding
as this, the North american writer thinks,
can the Monroe doctrine be upheld. a
London dispatch dated April II says that
sthe Times has iptimated that the first step
In an imperial federation policy may soon
be taken. The Times points out the pro-
priety of colonial help in the development
of the empire. The imperial policy in
wolves vast expenditures, and the Times
seems to think it only fair that the colonies
which benefit by the expenditure should
share the burden.

UNION OF MORAL FORCES.

There is a vast possibility for good in
the local movement to organize branch
of the national Union for Practical
Progress" The basic principle of this
union is that there are certain things
upon which all right-thinking men and
women agree. There are certain evils
which they unite in condemning. The
immoral forces act in concert. They are
in minority, but the united action they
manage to secure too often enables
them to carry their points. The moral
forces act, if at all. in desultory sort Of
wsy. Too often they act as if each organ
iZatfon was jealous of the other. When
one starts crusade public attention will
be directed toward some other cause good
In itself but untimely when urged to
check progress in some other moYemenE.
which. for the time. has the floor. This
cotsrie of reformers who constitute the
Arenas contributors have oIganZed clubs
in different cities, the purpose of which is
to concentrate public thought for the time
being upon q single p0iat Each of the
clubs has voice ia the management of the
parent institution. The particular abuse
against which it is desired to direct Pub
lie attention is given precedence by vote.
The method adopted is 10 work at onco
through all the channels which convey
information to the public. Instead of
having one hundred pulpts declaiming
in a general way against sin, it is
proposed to induce all to point out some
particular evil that is especially destructive
of human happiness. As the pulpit dOes
not reach everybody newspapers are re-
lied upon to convey these pulpit thoughts
to their readers. In this way it is held
that millions OF minds will be awakened
at once TO the enormity of evils that exist
in all communities. The slums Of great
cities. with their tenement-hOuses and
sweatshop attachments, are now receiv-
ing attention. When the forces set at
work have effected such reforms as seem
possible the engines OF public opinion
will be started against some other abuse
There is no politics in the scheme, %
church in the sectarian sense of the word.
All are invited to the broad field of labor
without question as to matters upon which
right-thinking people may hold diverse
opinions. There is work enough TO be
done which all agree should be done. Dis

MORE TROUBLE FOR THE ASTOR
FAMILY.

The residence of the Astor family in
New FORK is being made unpleasant by
the general American requirement that
rich people shall obey the laws. Some
years ago Mrs. Waldorf Astor was forced
to pay heavier duties on number of i'm
ported dresses than she thought was right
That Mrs. Astor is now resident of
London, but 1t is not known that the COL
lection of duties on her imported dresses
had anything to do with her change of
residence. John Jacob Astor is now in
trouble bout the erection of stable on
Madison avenue in the midst of a neigh
borhood of homes. The fact that the sta BILE
adjoins fashionable church is considered
an aggravation Of the ordinary offense
Parties interested tried to interview MIR.
Astor, but he declined to receive them.
He had no grievance. and il they had they
might appeal to the courts. 1t was found
upon consultation with eminent lawyers
that there was no law against building a
stable with an elegant family residence on
one side and fashionable church ON the
other. Mr.. Astor's lawyer excused the
act on the ground that in building the stable
Mr.. Astor is carrying out the provisions
of his fathers will. But in order 10 relieve
the law of the odium of not providing a
remedy for an evil. State Senator Cantor
has introduced a bill with the following
title: IAN act to prohibit j. j. Astor
from building model stable for his
mother on his own property, in conformity
with the testame ntary provisions Of his
fathers will"

while the producers of wool have to con-
tribute their proportion to the cost OF pro-
lection TO the finished articles OF wool
Under absolute free trade the wool-grower
would receive some compensation Tor loss
OF value in his product by decrease IN the
cost of woolen goods. But under the DEM
ocratic policy the wooi-grower has to sell
in free-trade market and buy in pro-
tective market. In advocating free sugar
the Kansas Senator again converges within
narrow lines. There is no other American
agricultural industry so full of promise as
that of sugar. 1t is quite within the range
of probability that continued protection
would enable American sugar-producers to
supply sheir own market. We now pay
s1O0,0O0. 600 in gold or credits for sugar.
The cost of sugar-pr0ducing is nearly all
labor. Senator PETER would therefore dis
tribute this S100,000,0O0 among foreign
laborers instead of among our own people

WHAT THE KANSAS SENATOR
WANTS.

liz answer TO a question whether ne be-
lieved that manufacturers could continue
on q free-trade basis Senator PETER re-
piled that he was not looking after the
manufacturing interests. He was looking
after the men Of the West and the South.
Senator PETERS way of looking after the
men of the West and the South is not
based on broad lines The manufacturing
industries, which have done so much to
build up the East and the North, will DO
as much for the South and West As the
latter sections have raw material abund-
ant and cheap they will, unless over
whelmed by foreign competition. do the
manufacturing for their own people. Sen
ator PETER says also that Kansas can
stand free trade better than New Hamp-
shire. In this the Kansas Senator may be
right and he may not. Kansas depends
upon the East largely for market and
this market largely depends upon the
prosperity OF the East. II the operatives of
New Hampshire are thrown out OF work
or their wages materially reduced the de-
mand for Kansas products will be de-
creased. and the same causes which throw
New Hampshire operatives out OF work
o. keep them at work with reduced wages
will tend 10 prevent the establishment OF
manufactures in Kansas. Senator PETER
Is quite right In urging the policy OF duty
on wool. No good reason has ever been
given why al industry which Is common
b all sections and which employs labor In
proportion to the value of its produeI
should be exposed TO foreign c0mpeutlon

In these days, however, the fire Is kept burning

teenths of an inch. AS they become more hol-

UNDER THE PROPOSED CHINESE
TREATY.

A Washington dispatch encourages the
hope that the proposed Chinese treaty may
be rejected by the Senate. Senator Stephen
NJ. White on the other hand says that there
will not ba more than four votes against it.
Ia view of the fact that one Pacific Coast
Senator favors the treaty, and that three
or four Pacific Coast Democratic members
of the House are reported In the same
state of mind. il is probable that Mr..
Whites forecast is correct. The East
might defer to a solid Pac6c Coast deie-
CATION, but will most probably give small
consideration to divided one. Accepting
the ratification of the treaty as probable,
the following from 3 correspondent be-
comes matter Of considerable moment:
Editor Call: After reading the treaty pro-
posed by Yang Yu, the Chinese Minister at
Washington, and accepted by Mr.. Cleveland
and bis Secretary Of State, and by them trans
ferred to the Senate to be ratified by that body
IN secret, am compelled to ask for infor ma
iion. II this treaty is ratified by the Senate,
does 1t supersede the McCreary law? And if so,
what disposition is to be made Of all Chinese
lsborers who refuse 10 register by the 9th Of
May next?
From present indications less than fifth Of
the Chinese laboreFs Will have registered. Can

face Of Yang Yu's treaty-that is to say, if ratl-
6ed by our Senate. OF which Stephen III. White
Is a member?
II the Yang Yu-Gresbam treaty is rati-
fed 1t will abrogate all provisions in the
McCresry act which conflict with the pro-
visions OF the treaty. But the Yang Yu-
Gresham treaty kindly binds tha Chinese
Government not to object to the enforce
ment of the registration act There will
then arise question for judicial interpre-
tatlon. Does the treaty accept the depor-
tation feature OF the McCreary act as part
of the act which it binds itself not to object
10? Apparently the parties signing the
treaty had not deportation in view. They
were providing for mutual registration,
leaving to the law-making power in each
country TO settle the question of penalty
for non-observance of the act. AS our law
has fixed the penalty at deportation the
reasonable conclusion would be that the
deportation feature will stand. But We
are confronted with another view of the
case. The Yang Yu-Gresham treaty pre-
sents new page in the history Of Chinese
restriction. All previous laws in conflict
Herewith are repealed. We are going to
commence anew on lines furnished by the
treaty. 1t Is extremely probable therefore
that the courts will hold that deportation
as a penalty for failure to register is in the
nature Of an excessive punishment. A
fine OF ten or twenty dollars. it may be
argued. will be sufficient. Not only is the
letter of the law new, bat its spirit also.
II is pretty safe to assume therefore that
if the treaty is ratified the number of Chi
nese deported under the provisions of the
MeCreary act may be counted on the fingers
OF two hands.
