WESTERN VIEWS OF COMMERCE.

More than passing attention Is due to the
statements made by Mr. Schieren. the ex-MayOr
Of Brooklyn. as reported In a Chicago dispatch
printed few days ago He had been officially
investigating In the Northwest the causes Of the
diversion of traffic especially of export trade in
grain and -four. from NewYork TO other ports.
He had talked with millers and others at Min
neapolis Duluth and elsewhere He found
among them a full recognition Of the fact that
there was such diversion, and a pretty firm
conviction as 10 the causes of ii. His report OF
their opinions is not strikingly novel. 1t Is, in
deed, little more than a repetition of the opin-
ions Of Others already expressed and urged in
these columns. Nevertheless II is Of the high
est interest in it's corroborative force.
The grain and -four export trade from this
port has. in the opinion Of these Western ship
pers. who may he regarded as authorities upon
the subject declined for three reasons. One Is
the inadequate terminal facilities OF New-fork
Another is differcntlal rates OF railroads. which
discriminate against New-York. The third Is
the inadequate accommodations provided by the
Erie Canal. SO far as the first point is con
cerned we suppose there is no dispute The
meanness OF New-Yorks terminal facilities
would be irresistibly comcal II IL were not SO
serious a matter to the city and 10 the State
and Nation. That this port should remain year
after year handicapped by extortionate transfer
fees and by an antiquated, costly and tedious
system of lghterage and carriage, and that II
should suffer the disadvantages OF shallow
and dangerous seagate, filed up by the ocean
on the one side and by the Street Cleaning De
partment the other while another seagate,
deep and safe and more direct, remains unused
these things among the fatuous wonders
Of the commercial world
The question Of discrimination against New
York In freight rates by the railroads is on
different footing. Such discrimination exists
of course. 1t cannot be prevented by law. Nor
is Il altogether unreasonable or unjust If the
distance from Chicago TO Newport News for
example. is less than the distance from Chicago
to New-York freight rates on the former route
will be less than on the latter. Railroads will
not carry freight a longer distance for the same
rate as a shorter distance. And the case fol
differentals is greatly strengthened when rail
road company is directly interested in the up
building of some port. 1t will be sure to favor
the port in which It has proprietary interest
rather than one in which II has none. But New
York is not powerless TO cope with that condi
tion. She can do so In two ways. One Is L
give the best and cheapest possible termina
facilities here. The other is 10 improve III

IT is the expected that always hap
pens. We were fOrcibly reminded of
the truthfulness of this oft-repeated
adage when we read only few days ago
In a Topeka paper that ID. r. Hite, the
leading insurance attorney of the state
is the chief mogul in the insurance
superintendent's office. The depart
ment has already undOne much of Nc
Nails good work. Companies which
were refused license to do business in
the state because of defraudIng policy
holders and carrying on Legitimate
business, were granted license by the
new superintendent the second day he
assumed the duties Of the Office. Every
request or favor that is asked of the de-
partment by the companies or their at.
torneys, is granted and from now on
policy holders may as well figure on
settling claims according to the com
pany's terms. 1t will not be long until
the people of Kansas VIII learn what
they lost when Webb McNall stepped
out of the insurance superintendent
office.

OF course the people of Topeka say
they are in favor OF municipal owner
ship and we suppose, as matter of
fact, they are, but when the election is
held few weeks hence they will elect
republican mayor who never thought
OF the idea until PopullSts told him
about it, and even now he is afraid to
come out publicly and say where
he stands. He is an ''allegedn munich
pal ownership man just as GroverCleye-
land was an alleged free silver ma n
in the campaign of 1892. If the people
of Topeka really want reform they
ought to elect Hon. c. &. Clemens, a
man who was sowing the seeds in Kan
sas In her early days-a man who has
shown by his past life that he is sincere
and honest N everything he says and
does.

The Populists of Topeka have nom
mated straight city ticket headed by
Hon. G.. G. Clemens for mayor. The
Populists of that city are very much in
the minority and 1T is not expected
that they can elect their ticket, but il
would be a most fortunate event if
such man as Clemens should be elect
ed. There would be no monkey work
and no steals going on among corpora
tions if Clemens were MAYOR.

RIGHT OF LOCATION.

The question of the right of an or
riginal locator to relocate a mining
claim upon which he has failed to
perform the amount of assessment
work, or an equivalent in improve
ments, as required by law, is an i'm
portant one. This question came
up before the Supreme Court of Utah
and the Court decided that an
original locator had such right. 1t
is recognized fact that a prior To-
Gator may renew his location by re-
Stunning work. While the court in
this instance recognized the right of
the prior locator to relocate it should
be understood that it also requires
that assessment work should not
only be resumed but completed in
order to insure possession.

A dastardly attempt was made to
kill Judge Powers of Salt Lake and
Warden dow of the Penitentiary by
one John Smith, an all round crook
and bad man, by sending through
Wells Fargo & Cos Express two in
fernal machines which were strong
enough to blow an ordinary sized
building to atoms, Judge Powers
on lifting the box sent him heard
slight rattle and at the same time
discovered some grains of black
powder which had fallen on the
table. The police was notified and
an examination made revealed an
irgenouo mochine. Smith was ar
rested and on the preliminary hear
ing was bound over to appear before
the Grand Jury ON a $4,000 bond.
While sitting as Judge in Ogden
in So, Judge Powers sentenced
Smith to 10 years in the PEN, and
he said at that time he would kill
Powers some day.
