A Pret,, Scheme Which May Not Work.

England has never allowed her
theories of free trade to stand in the
way of protecting her own interests.
She has been free with subsidies to her
steamship lines and this policy has
been carried to an injurious extent in
some of her colonies, notably in Can
ada where it has been applied to rail-
roads.
Under the direction of Mr.. Chamber
lain, who has wished to take advan-
tage of every opportunity to confirm
his reputation as "a hustler" an at
tempt for closer relations between Eng
land and her colonies is being made
step the commercial treaties with Ger
many and Belgium have been marked
for termination to enable England to
make better terms with her own colo
MES than with other countries If she
may wish to do 50.
1t will be remembered that Canada
has adopted preferential duties toward
the mother country and this termina-
ton of treaty with Germany and Bel
GUM will enable England to recipro-
cate. Whether in the end England
will reap any advantage from this
change remains to be demonstrated
Germany takes the matter very coolly
as if she thought after England may
have tried the scheme she will be glad
to make a new treaty more advan-
tageous to Germany than the present
one. Her trade with Canada will have
to double more than once to make up
an entire loss of her trade with the two
European countries under the present
treaties. One thing is pretty certain
England will find it difficult to coun-
teract the natural advantages for
trade between Canada and neighbors
living right across an imaginary line
and in close contact, commercially and
vantageous to lose any considerable
portion of the trade she now has with
the states. On the whole. there is
much of uncertainty overhanging Mr..
Chamberlain's pretty scheme.

field, however, the town permitted open
saloons, where such as O'Neil receive
their education, and at least under
those circumstances should have main
tanned a respectable police force.
Maine is by no means free from crime
but certainly the Maine villages, as a
rule, do not countenance the grog-
shop primary and though their police
protection is not always adequate to
even the hard-cider lawlessness that
occasionally breaks out, it may truth
fully be said that they afford little OPP
portunity for a man to lounge around
a bar-room soaking himself into con-
dition such that nothing save the GRIM
inal instincts remain active. But
wherever one goes he will be sure to
find the ne'er-do-well whether it be in
Maine or in California, and this barna-
Gle on the community is about as GER
tain to gravitate toward rum and mis-
chief if not crime as the apple Is to
fall by reason of gravitation. When
ishly promises better ways and then
lapses into the old with certainty
that would surprise one, who didn't
stop to consider that a healthy man
who allows his wife or mother to work
like slave for money to support him
in dleness and vice has lost his self
respect and will not regain it short of
a miracle. Lack of energy may be
symptom of physical degeneracy and
with due allowance for the unwilling
ness of people to employ man with
reputation for loafing about the street
corners, the fact remains that the per-
son who is willing to squander on him
self the fruits of the slavish toll of a
mother, a sister or wife is not en-
titled to as considerable treatment as a
Digger Indian, for the latter was
communities of any considerable size
but have a number of such specimens OF
the genus bum. If found to be wholly
lacking in self-respect and incapable
of it they are to be treated as chronic
cases, better off in Jail than at liberty,
better off still if forced to work in
some Jail workshop, but at all times
they should be kept under the strictest
police surveillance.

There has been from several sources
criticism of the tone of our diplomatic
correspondence and the assertion that
it has been such as to cause our diplo-
macy to merit the disrespect of foreign
governments. This may sound very
fine to those who are always looking
away from home for the truly excellent
in statecraft as in every thing else. The
truth is our diplomacy is respected
abroad for experience has shown that
it is honest and manly. When we have
had anything to seek at the hands #
those foreign governments right has
been on our side. In this respect our
diplomatic efforts stand in striking
contrast to the foreign diplomacy,
which attalns it's highest distinction, in
time of peace and when the great
powers are shuffling Armenian and
Cretan problems or Turkish boundary
questions, in securing something which
doesn't rightly belong to it, Our
diplomacy is not like the foreign article
and we have true cause for thankful
ness that it is not. But shall we think
so meanly of foreigners as to suppose
no respect from them?

The Nineveh Tablets.

Biblical scholars have had their at
tention recently called to the inscrip-
tons on tablets discovered a short
time since among the ruins at Nineveh.
The inscriptions of especial interest are
those relating to the story of the
creation Of the world. In many partic-
ulars the Hebrew account is corrobo-
rated while in other respects an alto
gether different version is given. As
to the creation of the sum- the moon
and the stars this order, which is the
one given in the Bible, is reversed in
the account given by the Nineveh in
scriptions. 1t should be said. however.
that students agree that taken as q
whole the inscriptions corroborate and
throw light on the story of Genesis. 1t
the Sabbath and requirements for its
observance are much more severe ac-
cording to these tablets, which are
supposed to be at Ieast two thousand
years older than the Bible, than arc
the regulations laid down in the Bible.
The translation of the lines referring to
this subject is as follows.
1.-The seventh day is +: resting day
to Merodach and Zarpoint, a holy day.

2-The Shepherd of Mighty Nations

3-His clothes he changes not; i

crees.

S.-For making a curse it is not fit.

with his God.

Loaiing and Drinking Themselves into Fiends.

1t is noticeable that many of the
newspapers are drawing a moral from
the case of O'Neil, the young desperate
who loafed about the village of Green
field, Mass, and drank in the village
saloons until he developed criminal
capacity equal to committing murder
when opportunity should offer Such
opportunity did offer and good
woman. whose comedy appearance had
unfortunately attracted O'Neil's atten-
ton, became the victim of his drunken
brutishness. The metropolitan press
has been quick to call attention to the
facilities which many of the rural viii
lage communities afford for the produc-
ton of O'Neils whereas the police pro-
lection is wholly insufficient for hold
ing it in check as can be done to a
considerable degree in the cities. Nor
does it appear that these villages are
likely to assume the added tax burden
necessary to the maintenance of first
class police force. In the case of Green

mountain of gold, her lake of pure
petroleum, her rich deposits of other
and rivers teeming with the finest fish,
he would be in a fair way to become
the victim of his imagination and an
Alaskan winter. AS it is there can be
no doubt but Alaska is wonderfully
rich in many resources but it is equally
certain that combination of capital will
be needed to overcome the obstacles
barring access to them. The individual
of limited means makes an almost
hopeless venture when he tries to go L
alone or in company with those Of
small capital. Another fact that is
undeniable, however much exagger
ated these stories of fabulous wealth
may be-and they unquestionably are
exaggerated-is that Alaska will many
times repay the cost of it's purchase
and long since demonstrated the wis
dom of those instrumental in annexa-
ton. And yet at that time the obiec-
tons to the purchase of that country
were as numerous and as emphatic az
any now made to the project of annex
ing Hawaii. This is something which
forces itself on the attention at this
time when Alaska is so emphatically
