SOME EDITORIAL COMMENTS.

! Boston Journal: Hatteras is an unfor
tunate place for the monitors. More thar
one of them has had a hard experience
| in the terrific seas there since the origin.
al monitor went down off the dreaded
| cape on the last day of 1862. These stout
| armorcladS are excellent lighting ships
but, as the Puritan's trouble shows anew
| they are not altogether adapted to sea-
! going in winter.
Courier-Journal: The announcement
| that the sugar trust would be assisted
by continuation of the discriminating
would be imposed upon the importation
of all sugar exported from bounty-paying
countries was preceded by a prompt rise
in the sugar market. The sugar refining
people have the knack of obtaining in
side information of pending legislation,
and are not afraid to take advantage
of it.
Washington Star: The effort of New
York legislators to prohibit cartooning is
but another indication of the potency of
print. The comic papers have so long and
so Dersistently made these gentlemen
ridiculous that they are now going ahead
and doing it for themselves.

news-gatherers. He has done such things
before. 1t was he who first discovered
and published to the world that the
Decalogue has no influence in American
politics." That achievement is still re-
garded as the greatest feat in his news
paper career, and it naturally commends
him to the sort of Journalism which he
is to represent at Carson City.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat: The Swed-
ish government has asked the Canadians
to look out for the balloonist who is adj
vertised to start for the north pole from
Stockholm July /. If Sweden will see that
he gets off, the rest of the world will en-
deavor to do its share.
Chicago Chronicle: Mother Mckinley

her son installed in the white house. She
says she had glorious time at the cap

chair and corner in the room. Her son

It is very evident that the Repub-
lican members of the ways and means
committee intend to give the Demo-
Gratis on the committee very little time
to think over the provisions of the
new tariff bill but purpose to cram it
down their threats. This is an unwise
policy. and when the bill reaches the
senate the Democrats there may prove
that fact to the Republicans.

Washington, August fs.-The Canadian
government has submitted formal propo-
sNscns to this government to establish
communication with the Klondike region
In Alaska by the construction of tele-
graph line from the head Of winter nayi-
cation on the Lynn canal into the center
II the Kloudlke district. The proposals
have been taken under adyissment. They
have been approved by the British prin-
slpal secretary of state for foreign affairs
and were forwarded by the governor gem
eral OF Canada to the state department
and referred to the interior department.
There the papers arc locked up pending
consideration. The proposals which reserve
the rights OF either country pending the
settlement OF the International boundary
lire between the United States and Canada
south OF Mount st. Elias, urge the ex-
pediency OF establishing a permanent route
giving access to the interior at all seasons
Of the year. The moot feasible route. In
the judgmen. OF the Canadian authorities
would be to start from the head Of winter
navigation on the Lynn canal (the body of
water running from near Juneau UP be-
yond Dyca and Chiicoot, forming present
part of the overland routel crossing the
mountains BY White pass or by any other
pass which may seem more accessible and
proceed northward TO Fort Selkirk and
thence - Klondike. The Canadian gov
ernment asserts its readiness 10 undertake
to open communication by constructing a
telegraph line from the head of Lynn
canal. traversing a distance Of eighty
miles across the summot OF the mountain
range from which trail can be followed
to Fort selkirk and to Klondike. That gov
eminent also signifies lis intention in case
the propositions are adopted to erect suit
able places for shelter at periods from
forty to filiy miles along the line and keep
up communication during the winter
months for the conveyance o, the mails
