abrogated if we enter upon this discrimi-
mating policy, and we shall sub
ject our ships also to the
danger of retaliation which may
offset the gain that will accrue to
them in one direction by loss in another
We export rs well as import, and If
goods brought in foreign vessels are to
be charged higher rate of duty than
when brought in American vessels may
we not fairly expeot that foreign nations
will attempt to equalize the thing by
some sort of discrimination against our
exports when carried in American vessels,
either by increased duties or by tonnage
taxes? AS In ordinary years our exports
exceed our imports what we should gain
from our discrimination in favor of
Eerican ships would be lost and more
than lost by the discrimination of foreign
nations against them. A policy which
has such dangerous possibilities as this
ought not to receive the support of the
Republican party except after full and
careful elaboration. The question has
only recently been raised and there has
been little opportunity for it's oonsidera-
ton. 1t seems to us therefore that it
would be unwise for the Republican
State convention to commit itself at this
time to this policy. This is not saying
that we consider the policy bad one,
but it has SO many ramifoations that it is
impossible to judge intelligently of ITS
merits until more time has been given
for examination and more light Is
thrown upon its possible effects. 1t
would seem as If the convention would
go far enough if it should adopt gen.
eral resolution in favor of legislation for
the revival of American shipping, with
out undertaking to specify the precise
legislation needed. The Republican
party is SO thoroughly committed to the
policy of protection that it's representa-
tiyes can be trusted to apply it wherever
it can proftably be done. 1t has always
looked carefully after the shipping in
terest and there is no danger that it
will desert it now.

forces in Egypt, was born in 1885. and
entered the army as lad of twenty. At
the siege of Sebastopol, he fought with
the Seyenty-seventh Foot. and took ao-
tive part in the assault on the Redan,
where he was feverely wounded. he
rendered distinguished service during the
Afghan war, when he commanded the
Hampshire Regiment, which did good
work in the neighborhood of Cabul. In
1881 he obtained his oolonelcy, and was
made Quartermaster General of the
Northern Districts of India. In 1865 he
accepted the Adjutanoy General of the
Bonn bay Army, which he again relin-
quished in 1891, and after years SER
Vice as Brigadier Major at Aldershot, he
was finally sent to Malta in command of
the Infantry Brigade, where he remained
until called upon to assume the respon-
sble position he now holds in Egypt.

The adoption is urged by the Republi-
can State convention which meets here
tomorrow of the following resolution
which is one of the planks in the plat
form adopted on March 27th, by the
Republicans of Massachusetts
"We have always given protection to
our shipbuilders. In late years we have
neglected to protect our shipowners
We believe the time has come to return
to the policy of Washington and Hamil-
ton, which, by discriminating duties in
favor OF American bottoms, secured 80
per cent of our carrying trade to Ameri-
can ships, and which, If now restored,
would again revive our shipping and
cause American freights to be paid to
Americans"
We would gladly urge the adoption of
this resolution if it were fairly well estab-
Mshsd, that such discriminating duties as
are recommended would accomplish the
purpose in view, without doing enough
mischief in another direction to offset the
advantage in this. Not only is that not
established but also it is open to question
whether such policy would not do ship
owners more harm than good. We are
aware that many shipowners are in
favor Of this policy, and that fact of itself
may be pointed to as sufficient proof that
it will be good for the American carrying
trade. That sort Of argument would
long ago have given US free ships for a
great many shipowners are in favor OF
that policy. We have some thirty-six

More than 4, 900 sparrows have been de-

Last seasons salmon pack in British
Columbia was 566, 895 cases. 1t is expect
ed the pack on the Columbia River this
season will be enormous if the run il
good. Many canning establishments have

the river, because Canadian Gamers are
only permitted to use nets, while Ameri-
can Gamers may use any device to catch

An important find Of skeletons of pre-
historic people, supposed to be cliff dwell
lers, was made some ten days ago on
Beaver Greek, Yavapal county, Ariz.
The skeletons were laid out in orderly
arrangement on natural shelves in the
chalk-like cliffs bordering the creek.
There were about forty skeletons in all,
and each was laid on a piece of mating
They were evidently of full grown people,
but were very small in size and were in
a remarkably good state of preservation.
Eleven elk that have been broken to
harness and trained to drive single,
q ouble and tandem, are owned by two
men of Columbia Falls, Mon. They were
captured about year ago and were
easily tanned, being now as gentle as
horses. They were taken by hunters on
skis. When an elk was located it was
driven down the mountain side into the
deep snow in the valleys and there roped
and made captive. Ike owners have
had offers ranging from $500 to $3.50
apiece for the animals, but none of the
herd is for sale.
Another big log raft is soon to be made
up in the Columbia River to be towed
down the coast to San Francisco. 1t is
to consist of piles amounting to about
700, 600 feet of lumber, board measure.
If the raft reaches San Francisco intact
the piles can be sold there 30 to 40 Der
cent cheaper than if they were trans.
ported by schoOners in the usual Way.
Those interested in the scheme say that
experience with former RATS has enabled
them to reduce the risk to minimum,
and they have no doubt that the biz
raft will reach San Francisco safely.

Now that Col. Ingersoll has consented
to preach occasionally from the orthodox
pulpit, 1t may be said that Christian
ministers need have no fear that he will
"crib" their sermons and endeavor to
palm them off as his own. Although
Col. Ingersoll may thunder his anathemas
against sin from an orthodox pulpit, his
own orthodoxy wabbles a trifie.

To quote the words of ex-Gov. Russell
in his grafton, the Democrats have
paused at Monticello to catch the inspira-
ton of Jefferson's voice. They are sadly
in need of inspiration from some source
and as they have failed to get it from
the living it was quite natural that they
should look to the dead. 1t is too early
yet perhaps to say whether they got any
inspiration at Monticello, but the Democ-
racy has wandered SO far away from the
principles of Jefferson that the inspira-
tion that could come from that source
would not be likely to be of the kind
that the most Of them want.

In the Blue Pike. A Romance of
German Civilization at the Commence
ment of the Sixteenth Century, by
George Ebers, author of Mazda, etc..
Translated from the Fifth Edition by
Mary j. Stafford. The Blue Pike is a
German Inn. Macmillan has summoned
the Reichstag to Cologne. We are inuro-
duced to travelling scholars, Nurem-
burg dignitaries, humanists and theolo-
gians, and to royalty itself, as well as to
learning. Yet, strangely enough, the
history of the young envoy of the Coun-
Gil, Herr Lieahard GroIand, links
itself, from time to time, with the life
and adventures of Kuni, the once famous
rope-danoer-the beautiful and renowned 4;
af ter, one of rough band of strolling
jugglers and musicians. The story is
graphically told and it is a touching
study of nobility in an untutored soul
poor little creature so ignorant and IN
developed, yet with world of the high

breast There Is far less of history in
