of the various dynasties and propose to
exercise some substantial control over
the affairs Of their own countries, there
will be a serious acceleration Of the
movement for arbitration as a substi-
tute for war. The entire fabric Of Eu-
ropean militarism has its foundation, as
Count Tolstoi has pointed out. in the
dumb acceptance by the people Of the
fate which their rulers decree for them
of being set up to shoot and be shot at
by each other. Once there is serious re-
volt against this course in any country
the ruler, however arbitrary, is COM
PEELED to take thought.
The disturbances to which reference
is made will do no harm. On the con-
trary, they will go no slight distance
to bring European rulers to some under
standing of their ultimate duty toward
the people they govern.

OUR NEW PATERNAI1sM

Attention has been directed somewhat
Of late to that feature of trust creation
and administration which leads to in
furious effects on certain other lines of
industry. These lines of industry have
hitherto been maintained in connection
with the commercial transactions which
are now controlled by the trusts 1t u.s.
for instance, claimed that as many as
5000 commercial travellers have lost their
employment in the various lines of bust
ness with which they they have been
identified through the methods adopted
by the trusts, 1t has also been pointed
out that the railroads and the hotels and
other industries have been made inciden-
tally to suffer by the loss Of the COM
mercial travellers.
With that SNUG contentment which
comes from the sense of duty we'll done,
the trust advocates placidly answer OBJ
jections such as these by calling atten-
ton to the economic fact that the trusts
are thereby merely demonstrating their
ability to dispense with that economic
and commercial excrescence the middle
man, and that society in general is the
gamer by the new dispensation, since it
is saved the useless expenditure, always
added to the consumers cost, incident to
the middleman system. We are all ex-
pected to fully comprehend the blessing
which thus comes to us through the loss
OF the commercial travellers and the
others. The purchase price of the COM
modities dealt in by the trusts is lessened
to that extent, thus effecting a saving
for US all which we should duly appre-
ciate
This is the old sophistry of the bless
ings of the tariff, dressed up in new at
tire. The tax in each case is paid by
the other fellow.
The tin and the oil trusts are the two
great monopolies whose operations have
thus far been able to dispense wholly
with the need of the middleman, and to
destroy not only all competition, but all
possibility of it. Do we not all recognize
that We receive our oil and our oil cans
for a song, as a result? Is there any
other nation on earth as favored as ours
in oil and tin, or where the beauties of
dealings carried on directly between the
consumer and the producer are so mani
fest? OF course not. And we are carry
ing the system each day nearer and
nearer to perfection under the benefcent
Influence of our trust system Talk
about making trusts a political issue.
The political party which would take uu
this feature of the advantages of the
trusts would make its fortune in single
campaign.
We will not have long to wait until we
have demonstrated to us the ultimate
possibilities of the trusts in this regard
They are really but infant industries
as yet. Their day of complete growth
will arrive, however, and then we will
all experience the glorious blessings
which are incident to the latest form Of
paternalism.

AN I9IPERIALIsT TANGLE.

What will the political and newspaper
hirelngs of the administration do now in
view of Pingree's letter denying the au-
thenticity of his published interviews
They have abused the great war minister
to their hearts content, and they did so
because of their hired engagement to
sneeze when the administration takes
snuff. Are we now to be treated to some
more of the concealed eulogies of Alger
from the same source which the country
has been familiar with for the past year
or over? Or is the administration to
continue to bear the burden of the crimes
charged against the head of the war de-
partment?
Alger has willingly played the role of
scapegoat for the Hanna-AdcEinley com
bine thus far. viii he continue to do so?
Well, if he is sycophant and
a coward and a traitor, as the
Mckinley minions have been pro-
claiming since the Pingree inter-

IDLE CITY FUNDS,
Disposition of Surplus Cash Gives
Rise to -PrObIems.

Rise to PrObIeEnS.
Some weeks ago the city clerk was d.
rected to advertise for proposals from
the various banks in the city to act as
repositories Of city funds. Under bids
handed in about a year ago bonds were
filed by several of the banks, which took
care of $612, 0OO as the maximum amount.
Lately the city treasurer reported that
under the charter the banks which had
filed bonds had deposited in them up to
the limit, and he still had about $225,0 900
which, while it was deposited, was
against the provisions of the charter
and exceeded the amount allowed on the
bonds filed.
1t was to obviate this difficulty that the
city advertised for other proposals. but
none were received. At the meeting of
the committee Thursday Chairman Kirke
reported that the city treasurer had $225,-
600 more on deposit in the banks than the
bonds allowed, and as none Of the insti-
tutions had responded to the last adver-
tisement the treasurer was at a loss as
to what action to take in the matter
Mr. Kirke also reported that on July
6 the city treasurer had on hand in idle
funds of the city $217 800, and he suggest
ed that it might be an excellent plan to
have this amount Of money invested in
city certificates of Indebtedness, instead
of selling the certificates to outside par
ties and paying 312 per cent interest The
committees will Investigate the idle fund
situation and report at the next meet
ing of the committee.

D1LLoN,s TIMELY ADVICE.

Mr.. John Dillon, an Irish Nationalist
member of the British parliament, said
! some very sensible and timely things in
a debate held in that body on Monday
last on the second reading Of the mill
tary works bill. The occasion was the
voting Of funds for military defenses at
Halifax and Bermuda.
In the first place Mr.. Dillon pointed out
to our British brethren that 1t would
hardly advance the cause Of an Anglo
American alliance to engage at this time
in strengthening the military resources
of the Dominion, and that the establish
ment of the Notifications provided for in
neither case would be especially promo
tive Of good feeling between the two ma
tons concerned In the next place Mr..
Dillon called the attention of the British
to the now generally recognized fact that
the people of the British West Indies
believe that their future is certain to be
identified with the United States, rather
Der might have added a sly hint, more
| over, as to the manifest destiny of Can
ada. 1t probably would have done no
| good for his purpose, but 1t would have
] done no harm, and would have helped to
show the great improvidence of erecting
| Notifications at points which are bound
sooner or later to be controlled by Uncle
| Sam
The cable does not unfortunately, re-
! late what became of the provision for the
| Notifications in question. Although prob
| ably the government had It's way in vot-
| ing the necessary money, Mr.. Dillon's po-
sition is such as to give British politi-
| clans some cause for consideration before
going on with their proposed policy of~ex-
tending their American Notifications.
| The West Indies are not alone in the
| connection. British Guiana is even men
| toned in that behalf and we have of late
| been hearing what sound very much like
threats on the part of Canada, in con-
nection with the Alaska dispute, that the
mother country cannot count too strong
| ly on maintaining the existing connee-
| ton with her overgrown and not particu-
larly sweet-tempered daughter who
| makes her home north of here.
It is not probable that Mr.. Dillon was
actuated solely by the desire of every
British patriot to protect the British tax
payer against the extravaganza disposi-
! ton of his representatives in parliament,
but it is undeniable at least that he per-
formed that service quite as effectively
in this particular case as if 1t were his
life work to prevent unwarrantable raids
| on the British excheuuer.

Mrs. SeweH said: The queen looked ten
years younger than when l saw her ten

ed serenity, sweetness and pleasure. She
looked us each full in the eyes, with a
quick, clean, kindly glance. Her voice is
firm. and there is a total absence of GER
tain lines from the mouth shown in most
photographs of her, indicating disdain.
The whole bearing of her majesty was a
symbol that she, who has governed the
mightiest empire for siXty-three years,
has finally recognized that she crowns her
work in recognizing the claims of her sex
to equal rights with men. With that
woman pride we Joined in God save the
