Washington cannot fail to be amused.
If he has spirit of humor in his soul,
at the angular, hack-action methods
which the commission has employed
in the apparent attempt to reach this
truth. Instead of going directly to the
front door, ringing the bell and calling
upon the master of the house, they gu

Why doesn't this commission begin at

An Objectionable feature Of the protocol
Of the Canadian and United States commits
sioners to the Quebec conference is that it
is calculated1te assure to the Canadian Pa
cific railway a right Of "differentia,s" against
lines owned by United States citizens and
engaged in carrying goods and passengers
between the Pacific coast and points east
of the Mississippi, The protocol proposes
that these favors to the Canadian Pacific
shall endure without regard to rulings Of
the Interstate commerce commission
The case against the Canadian Pacific is
aggravated by consideration of the circum-
stances under which the United States roads
were fored into granting "differentials. The
British and Dominion governments jointly
pay the Canadian Pacific 100000 year for

Chinese REGRETS.

This is how the editor Of a paper In Pekin,
China, declines a manuscript:
Industrious brother Of the sun and moon!
Look upon the slave who falls at thy feet,
who kisses the earth before thee and demands
of thy charity permission to speak and live.
I'VE have read thy manuscript with delight.
BY the bones of our ancestors, we swear that
never have we encountered such a master
piece Should we print 1t, his majesty, the
emperor, would order us to take 1t as cri-
terion and never again to print anything
which was not equal to it. AS that would not
be possible before ten thousand years, all
trembling return thy manuscript and beg
thee ten thousand pardons. See-my hand
is at my feet and 1 am the slave Of thy SER
want. THE Editor

What the Delegates to the National
w. G. Il. U. Convention Think of Us.
1t is twelve years since the national con-
ventiou met in the Northwest, says the
Union Signal. The convention OF 1886 was
held in Minneapolis, and now the sister twin,
st. Paul, extends welcoming hands to greet
us.
The official roster Is largely changed since
our gathering in Minneapolis. Only one o.
the general officers then is an officer now
Mrs. Stevens.
St. Paul is beautiful for situation. city
of 100 coo, lying at the gateway of the famous
park region Of Minnesota, which has more
inland lakes than the same area anywhere
in the world. White Bear lake, noted for
its Indian legends and Lake Como, are
within easy driving and street ancas
the latter situated in one of the most eauti-
full parks in our country. covering 800 acI es.
Fort Smelling Is Of great interest in these
military times. The Minnesota troops are
located there, and the state Soldiers home
is there also. The Indian mounds on the
Mississippi river afford a wonderful view up
and down the river, and OF the city proper

Surgeon Major Seaman, just back from
Ponce and Santiago. He b-untly says that
80 per cent of the deaths from disease were
murder-pure governmental neglect. Was the
medical department at fault? No. Who,
then?
There was no lack Of supplies of all sorts.

and idiocy of the men in the quartermaster's
department the supplies were not taken care

orally speaking, the parsons thus favored
with staff appointments had passed the peri
