When the Anglo American Joint High

are reciprocity and the Alaskan boundary

The Canadians insist upon interpreting
the treaty between Russia and the United
States in an entirely different manner
from the Americans, and it is not likely
that an "all Canadian route" to the Yu-
ken will be secured.

ly after l2 o'clock Friday night. She had
apparently arrived in the city shortly be-
fore that hour, as she was travei-worn.
Mrs Ames related a piteous tale OF woe to
the night clerk at the hotel, saying that
she had been robbed; that she was on her
way TO Porto Rico; that she was without
place and means TO sleep over night, ana

at the Baltimore and Ohio ticket office. The
clerk at the hotel said that the railroad
company had sent the ticket over during
the day with the statement that the Pull
man car conductor had forgotten to give it
to the woman. Mrs Ames had left the
hotel and the ticket was taken back to the
station.
Inquiry at the ticket Office at the station
last night disclosed the fact that a ticket
good for a passage from Washington to Old
Point Comfort. and which had been issued
at Chicago, was being held there to wait
claim. The ticket agent was asked why
the ticket was not given to Mrs. Anes be-
fore she left the train and explained that
the Pullman car conductor had forgotten
it. The carelessness of the conductor in
failing to give the ticket to the woman
probably led Mrs. Ames to the belief that
she had either lost her ticket or that it had
been stolen, and caused her to undergo her
subsequent disagreeable experience. Mrs.
Ames will be held at the First precinct po-
lice station until her friends arrive.

THE HARMONICS.

Great Harmony in the Republican state con-
venton Of Ohio. Hanna and Foraker cry tor
peace and at the same time whet their knives
There is no bloodshed. Thieves never butcher
one another when thev quarrel over the spoils,
O, as least as long as there is more plumber in
sight.
Hanna will hate Foraker, and Foraker will
hate Hanna. There will be Hannaltes and an
ii Hannates, but there will be no principles.
A quarrel among thieves Is no sign of honesty;
neither is quarrel among politicians sign OF
principles No good thing will come out OF the
quarrel The fellows that get beaten will bow
to the will of the majority; in long speeches,
accept the lesser share of the spoils, aud go in
for another haul.

MORE HYPOCRISY.

The Republican party of Ohio says in it's
platform that it is opposed to trusts. 1t would
be about as consistent for Satan to claim that
he is opposed to sin. The Republican party
lives and thrives on trusts. Its head is trusts
and its feet are the politicians owned by trusts
Its great heart may be honest but its beats force
blood into the channels that noursh trusts. 1t
is another case of glaring hypocrisy. All the
nominees are Hanna trust men, aud no matter
what the declaration of the platform if the men
nominated are not harmony with its sentiment.
1t is another case in the history of that party
where public indignation is to be appeased by
empty promises.

MORE PROSPERITY.

All the sugar refining companies in the Unit

that the people are to have dearer sugar. The
Capitalization of the American Sugar Refining
Company is SIS, ZOO, 900. The Glucose Sugar
Refining Company is capitalized at $50 900, 900.
The capitalization of the Doscer and Arbuckle
companies is not given, but 1t can be seen at
glance that if these companies consolidate, COM
petition is at an end, and as in the case OF the
steel combine, sugar will go soaring. The con-
dition of Chicago banks also shows quite lofty
soar Shares in one bank have advanced from
275 to 800; in another from 200 to 275, anoth-
er the raise is rs points; still another the raise
is 10 points. The whole business is so far up
it is looking over into ste heaven and still soar

Lame Excuse.

Secretary Gage, in his interview defending
the presidents civil service order, says the ex-
emption of so many positions in the Alaska
service was "made necessary by the great dis
lance from Washington.
As the Philippines are farther from Wash
ington than Alaska, is the public to under
stand that it will be mpracticable, in the opin-
ion OF Secretary Gage and the administration,
to apply clvil-service regulations to those
islands when subjugated? Either Secretary
Cages excuse for the Alaskan exemptions
needs modification or the United States should
beware of entering upon colonial policy SO
far from home. 1t will never do to intrust
'the white mans burden" to the spoismen.-

THE Republican and Democratic parties are
apparently camping on the trail of the Popu-
list party, appropriatng its thunder. The ideas
advanced by the Popusts in one campaign are
stolen bodily in order to get material for the
construction of platforms that will reach ths
common people. Anti trust is the latest idea
stolen. The Populst party had no patent on
it. II is pleased to see The growth of sentiment

THE pillow trust has fallen through. The dis
agreement was not on the advance OF price of
plows, for upon that point there was marked
unanmity. 1t is always safe to plumber farm
ers. Those trusts not only plumber farmers
but other gullable people. The trusts have
watered stock, that is sold 10 suckers and peo-
pie who are ignorant or weak in the upper
story. The plow trust, to be up with the times,
must have watered stock 1t was upon the
amount Of water that the concern temporarily
busted. 1t is expected the trust will round out
this fall and, for time, flourish, same as the
James boys. Next year Mckinley and Hanna
hosts will crush the trusts into shareless mass

SOME people never knew anything, and new
er learn. To that class of never knowables be-
longs clerks on salaries, small tradesmen and
other people who have small boards OF money.
Not all tradesmen, clerks and other people who
have small boards are never knowables, but
there are sufficient numbers to afford very
good catch to the hoaters of watered stock.
All of the great corporations have more or less
of so-called water. Possibly there is billion
dollars of issued stock that is wholly fraudu-
lent-that represents no outlay-no value. The
never knowables are induced to buy this worth

LAST week, we published all item from the
Fl. Scott Lantern relative to man who had
one leg which was shorter than the other. The
Lantern said he applied to a Christian Science
healer, who "treated' his leg, and it grew till
1t was twelve or thirteen incher longer than the
other. The Lantern is mistaken as to the cause
of the growth OF the short leg. The fact is,
the committee appointed to locate the new in
sane asylum "struck" the man, and proceeded
to pull the leg until it was longer than the 9TH
er. Ii seems that there were several short-leg-
ged men in Parsons, and they all got their legs
pulled The Lantern should strive to keep
within the gounds of truth and veracity.

THE apathy displayed in pushing the Dewey

many poor fellows who have served the coun-
