The South Pacific Station.

The interesting statement Ia made that
the Navy Department has been considering
the establishment, or rather revival, OF q
South Pacific station. with headquarters at
Callso. The Newark, Capt. GOODRICH COM
handing, which arrived at Valparaiso about
a week ago. is expected soon to be- heard of
at Callao, while last month the Marblehead
left Montevldeo for Valparaiso, whence
doubtless she will go to the Peruvian port
These two cruisers would make the nucleus
it is said, OF tho station force and It has
also been suggested that couple Of the
composite gunboats may after awhile join
them. These latter vessels, being sheathed
can be kept on station duty n long time
without docking.
Such move would be ono more proof of
the growing Importance OF the Pacific in
our naval policy. We now have four sta
TONS the North Atlantic, South Atlantic,
Pacific and Asiatc We used to have a
European station, but 1t does not exist to-
day. Very likely We might have had ono
still, save for the war with Spain. but even
before that war 1t had fallen to be a station
with only two or three vessels on 1t. In
deed, several years ago it faded out alto
gethcr as it again has now, and, when re-
vived, after long interval only an inferior
force, numerically, was assigned to it.
RWhcn we remember Tint the European
station was once the great foreign station

ranesn ports figured largely in the ex-
perience Of our officers, this point Of con-

After the Commercial Travellers present
at the meeting Of their National League in
Albany on Friday had "deplored the organ
ization Of trusts, the Capitalization OF cap
ital and the curtailment OF individual pos
sibilites az n species OF speculative con-
spiracy," they unthinkingly adopted the
following resolution:
"Rssotced. That We condemn as un-Amsrican the
combination or syndcatlng Of incorporated or pri-
vate business for the of controlling
products snd in restraint OF trade and eompeti-
ton"
We have printed this resolution in full,
although the drummers' conclusion that
tho purpose OF combinations is to " control
products and to restrain trade and compe-
tition" is in nowise vital to il. The thing
uppermost for consideration is tho combi-
nation or syndicating OF small business con-
Germs into one big concern this tho drum
mers have condemned as un-American.
Now tho drummers are very many in
number and superior in understanding.
They are highly and sobsrly trained busi-
ness men, not shallow, shftless and dis
turbing social agitators. They are as far
removed as possible from such labor COM
bination, for example, as was yesterday
stoning the street cars Of Cleveland. The
prospect that the growth Of trusts will
diminish the number OF drummcrs needed
in business under tho new dispensation Is,
we will assume, very great And 1t Is to bo
most deeply regretted that any man should
find his occupation gone until he finds
another. But all men must face the facts,
drummers like the rest.
Combinations in business instead OF be-
ing un-American, are distinctly character
istio OF America. They represent the most
improved, the most economic system OF
carrying business on. Tho country which
has its business most thoroughly organ
tied in respect OF trusts will be the highest
10 the scale of commercial competition.
Whether America has or has not been
quicker than other countries in putting its
affairs into the shape Of trusts, IL it failed
to embrace their advantages It would be
denying its own fame for mental alertness
and business sense.
The commercial travellers are active cit-
zens, their travels enabling them to touch
every portion Of the country with their
influence. 1t Is conceivable that they, like
any other large and compact body Of voters,
might turn the scale of Presidential cleo
tion. But although they might kill party
which they had been pleased to mark as u
friend Of trusts they could never kill the
