PAYING COMMERCE.

A letter protesting against the Ding
ley plan Of placing prohibitive tariff on
mating imported from Japan has been
written by President Hill, of the Great
Northern railroad, which is OF consider
able interest. The avowed purpose Of
this tariff is. OF course. 10 build up the
American mating industry, but Mr..
Hill shows at what great expense that
would be done. Mr.. Hill has been taught
by experience the value Of the Asiatic
trade TO the farmers Of the Pacific slope
and the Northwest.
Several years ago Mr.. Hill concluded
that the Chinese and japanese might be
induced 10 substitute wheat for rice,
which they had used for centuries, pro
vided the wheat could be sold TO them
at a price low enough. He sent an
agent 10 the Orient. who reported that
the problem was simply one OF price.
ARRANGEMENTS were accordingly made
with the General Steamship Co., Of
Japan. to carry -four from Puget Sound
TO the Asiatic ports at per ton. This
was a low rate. and the shipment Of
wheat and -four was at once begun. OF
the last crop Of wheat. 100000 bush
els were shipped TO Japan. Practically
the entire wheat crop of California.
Oregon and Washington has been taken
out of the European markets. thus ma
terially reducing the volume OF wheat
competing for those markets.
In order 10 take wheat 10 Asia at this
low rate. il is necessary for the vessels
10 have return cargoes. which consist
largely of tea and mating If the
Dingley duty be put on mating, the
vessel owners would be compelled 10
add 30 cents a barrel TO the exported
-four and corresponding amount on
wheat. This advance would in all prob
ability destroy the commerce with
japan. and. Of course. the farmers
would suffer. They would not listen
with patience to the old argument that
the foreigner pays the tax. nor could
they be convinced that there is no re-
lation between our export and import
trade. They would see the absurdity
OF attempting 10 bring prosperity by
checking commerce.

fourth of the States in point of popu-
lation and first in point of wealth.
This scheme has not been embodied in
bill. as the other has been.
OF the two bills introduced in the
legislature by Assemblyman Trainor,
one provides for the submission OF the
first scheme outlined 10 popular vote
at the next general election, and the
other gives consent that Congress may
create a new State out Of territory with
in the jurisdiction Of the State Of New
York. The bills have been referred TO
the Committee on Judiciary. Notice
has been given of public hearings on
them.
The constitutional provision concern
ing new States says that No new State
shall be formed or erected within the
Jurisdiction OF any other State; nor
any State be formed by the junction Of
two States. or parts of States, with
out the consent of the Legislatures OF
the States concerned, as well as OF the
Congress. II the second of the two
bills should pass. Congress would have
notification that the consent required
BY the Constitution has been given,
and il would then have power 10 admit

pleased.

further mere 'book-learning' as use
less. This very large class would look
very differently upon manual training
school. which aimed TO drill into effect
iveness every faculty Of the body-not

as well. Parents would gladly permit
their boys and girls TO take full course

turn them out into the world fully
equipped TO take their proper chosen
places therein and not with all their real
education 10 be gained in the hard and
bitter school of experience.
\ combination of High school and
manual training school has been advo-
Gated by the Register for many years,
and such an institution would undoubt-
edly receive the sanction Of the peo-
pie. The High school project. however,
is a one-sided arrangement that is not
popular. and as matters stand would
not be for the best interests either Of
the city or of our educational system;
and. furthermore, as it is unlawful, as
projected by the Board of Education.

have said, is 10 reconsider its hasty

Mr.. F. ". Peabody. in debate on the
municipal ownership Of street railroads
held in Boston the other night, said:
IT is incumbent on the advocates Of
this change TO show that our city gov
eminent is qualified. or qualified in
some degree. 10 administer a business
enterprise like this. As now organized,
and as likely TO be organized within the
next 1OO years. our city government is
not. and will not be, qualified to admin
lister any business enterprise with any
degree Of success. II is essentially a
political and not a business corporation.
The members of the council are ami
mated by little other than political or
personal considerations and the Mayor
is Mayor not because of any fitness or
business capacity. but merely because
he is an expert manipulation of politi-
cal wires"
Boston is probably in advance Of
most Of the large cities Of the country
ir the character Of its city officials, and
if the Boston Council and Mayor are
not capable of managing street rail-
roads. the same is true Of many other
cities. Mr.. Peabody severely criticised
methods pursued in the city govern
ment and cited official statistics TO show
that TO accommodate territory contain
ing 10000 fewer people than Glasgow.
the West End Co. of Boston. supplied
four times as many miles OF track, three
times as many cars, paid more than
double the wages paid by Glasgow and
charged . cents for three times as
many miles as Glasgow charged 6 cents
for. The speaker held that municipal
ownership would mean extravaganza.
favoritism and increase Of the taxes.
Certainly. municipal ownership Of
street railways would be radical de-
parture that no community should
think Of adopting without thorough
consideration.

mn Sr,rr or MANHArrAN.

Greater New York having become
sure thing. the restless people Of the
busy metropolis have got it into their
heads that they want TO make the en-
laresd city q little State by itself. To
this end TWO bills have been introduced
INFO the Legislature looking TO the
division OF the state Of New York into
two States. the new municipality be-
coming practically the State Of Man
haitian and all the rest of the Empire
state retaining its present organization
and name.
The proposed state Of Manhattan
would extend some way beyond the
limits Of the enlarged city, as IL would
take in the whole Of the counties Of New
York. Kings. Queens. Richmond, West
chester. SuGolk and Putnam. Its terri
tory would extend up the river about
one-third of the way between the Bat
terry and Albany. The new State
would be the smallest in the union. hav-
ing an area Of but SIS square miles, or
less than one-third that Of Rhode Is
and. on the other hand. ii would still
ank among the leading States in popu-
.a,ion. the total being 3.294.S65. while
the remainder Of the present State OF
New York. with an area Of 1862 square
miles. would have a population OF
SelS479. The number of buildings in
Manhattan Is placed al $4,000. and in
the remaining state Of New York l>S,-
SO. The assessed valuation, real and
personal. of Manhattan is given at
S2s51. GOO o0o and Of he new State OF
New York $3.50. 100000.
There is another scheme Of division.
proposed by John c. Sheehan. which
includes in Manhattan the counties Of
Dutchess and Columbia, and carries the
northern line Of the new State up nearly
10 Albany. This would give a greater
area than Rhode Island and increase
the population. 50 that il would rank
