the passionate reply, as the Italian fell on

q WIG hysterical display of Southern emo

May not know the name of my benefac-

repeated it after him.
Yo GU seem surprised?" said Castlemaine
suspiciously.
Nay. the name sounded familiar, that is

Are you any relation to the Duca di Cray

sometimes, was it chance or Providence that
restrained him from adding, land his heir"
But L should like to know what that has

very wealthy. An appeal to his charity"

bitter response. I'm any case, the Duca is

the fellows eyes had closed, and he had

CANADA WANTS THE EARTH.
Great Britain supports Dominion's
Claims In Alaska.
Review of Reviews.

The British contention is:
First-That the pass called the Portland
Channel did not mean what is now carled
Portland canal, but what is now known as
Benin canal, which they claim was formerly
called Portland channel.
Second-That though the Russians ran the
-line a uniform ten marine leagues from the
coast as though there were no distinct range
OF mountains parallel to the coast, there is,
as a fact, a range of mountains parallel to
the coast, the crest OF which should have
been followed.
Third-That in case there were no range
of mountains the ten marine leagues should
have been measured, not from the line of
salt water, but from the outer coastline OF
the islands or from the ocean, that being
meant as the coast.
Fourth-That even IL there were no dis
tant range OF mountains and the line was
accepted as ten marine leagues from the
coast, it should be ten leagues from a
meandered coastline and should cut across
the mouths of the narrow channels and in
lets with which the coast of Alaska is in
dented, leaving the harbors at the head Of
these inlets in the possession of Great
Britain. Sir Wilfred L%aurier, premier OF
Canada, stated in the Canadian Parliament
in reply to a question relative to the Alas
kan boundary: According to our con-
struction of the treaty of 1925, the boundary
line should follow the crest Of the noun
tains nearest the coast, passing over bays
and creeks and inlets which are territorial
waters"
After making all these contentious, 1t is
reported that Great Britain took the position
before the commission that while she was
by right entitled to all the territory these
various constructions OF the treaty would
give her, she was willing to sacrifice them
all and as a compromise receive just one
harbor-the best one on the Alaskan coast.
And the refusal of the commissioners on be-
half Of the United States to accede to their
request caused a suspension OF negotiations
on the part of the commission.
1t has been said that Great Britain's policy
In international disputes is to claim every
thing in sight and then have a margin upon
which to make concessions when effecting
a compromise. In the Alaskan boundary
dispute her claims are without foundation
and the concessions she offers should not be
considered, as they represent no sacrifice.
She proposes to concede to the United States
that which belongs to the United States, in
order to get from the United States, on the
principle ESQ often invoked in interna-
tional compromises) Of mutual ~accommoda-
ton, a concession at once valuable to both
,ot;op.

A TRUST EPISODE.
GobbIcs In n Factory and Promptly
Closes the Doors.

bulldlp fNHltSos
One OF the incidents connected with tho
absorption Of the Continental Match COM
pany by the Diamond company, better known
as the Match trust. is the closing OF ths
factory in Detroit. Although there were
rumors that this would take place, the order
came suddenly. When the help appeared
at the works on Monday morning they wcrs
told that there would be no work after the
material in hand had been disposed OF. This
girls in the shop were so indignant at the
lack of reasonable notice that they refused
to pack the unfinished matches. 1t is this
belief in Detroit that Edwin Gould made Q
considerable profit from the establishment
OF the factory some months ago. The build.
ing cost S35, 900 and the machinery placed In
II is estimated to be worth not more thar
$500, 900. One report is that the property
was sold to the Diamond Match company for
100000. BE that as 1t may. MIR, Gould
seems to have managed his side OF the deal
with the trust in a manner that should be
eminently satisfactory to himself.
The closing OF the Detroit factory is
capital illustration OF an evil Of the trust
movement about which there is reasonable
ground for complaint. When a consolida-
ton takes place 1t frequently is inevitable
that some of the smaller shops or those
which are not advantageously located should
be closed. 1t is one OF the purposes Of COM
bination to dispense with unnecessary plants
and thereby to economic in expense. This
in itself, in the long run, is a gain to the
community, IL there is no attempt to restrict
production for the purposes OF artihcially
raising prices. In the matter OF matches
1t is inconceivable that the trust should not
produce as large a quantity as the market
needs. Hence. as an incident in the im-
provement OF the process Of production the
elimination of the Detroit factory Is not
Objectionable.
The criticism that can fairly be passed
upon it is that no warning was gwen the en-
ployes and that no attempt appears to have
been. made to secure them future employ
ment. The sudden deportation of work Is
a hardship which forms an Indictment OF
trust methods. Just at this time, for
t%unately, there is little difficulty in finding
employment, but 1t still remains true that
the closing Of shops and the consequent re-
adjustment to a new kind of business are
unpleasant features of this economic phe-
nomenon. 1t would be to the best Interest
of the managers of trusts II they took es-
pecial pains to lessen the inconvenience that
attends these changes.

LAURIER'S DENIAL.

The denial by the Canadian premier,
Sir Wilfrid Laurier, of the statement
that he had declined an invitation to
visit Chicago, on the ground that some
unpleasant incident might occur be-
cause Of the somewhat strained relations
between the two countries, and his as
surance hat an invitation will be cor
daily received, will be accepted as suf-
ficient and it places the author of the
statement in a somewhat unpleasant
position. Some American newspapers
that gave credence to the report have
criticised the premier rather sharply,
saying things not likely to make him
feel more friendly toward his coun-
try, and for its own credit the Ameri-
can press should now make whatever
amends it can.
Whether or not Sir Wilfrid Laurier
shall decide to visit Chicago on the oc-
casion of the laying of the corner
stone Of the new p%ostoffice building is
not a matter of very great Importance.
1t would be a friendly act, of course,
but so far as the relations of the two
countries are concerned it would have
no appreciate effect. Should he make
the visit, however, he will certainly be
most cordially received and it is safe
to say will see no evidence of STRAINED
relations" The fact that an invitation
is extended to him should assure the
Canadian premier that his reception will
be entirely friendly and courteous.
The differences between Canada and
the United States will in time be
amicably settled, there can be no doubt,
and meanwhile no public man in either
country should say or do anything likely
to impair friendship. The premier of
Canada is to be given an opportunity to
contribute to mutual good will and it
would seem that he would gladly avail
himself of it.

Antarctic. This makes 1t highly prooaple
that the expedition will be a naval one ana
accompanied by an ice-breaking steamer IKE
the Russian Ermack, which cut her way
through ice lat places twenty-five feet thick
in the Baltic last winter, as has been sug-
gested. a very high latitude might be
reached. The cost OF a special vessel
equipped for ice-breaking work would be
high, hence a large fund would be required
to provide for its construction. The British
navy has done nothing in polar exploration
for the last twenty-five years and IL the
admiralty should now conclude to take the
matter in hand much good work would
probably be accomplished in the Antarctic.
The conditions there are more favorable
than when weddell, in 1923, reached "a de-
grees 10 minutes south latitude and had an
open sea before him.

GOMEZ ON THE SITUATION.

General Gomez is not in sympathy
with the dissatisfied element in Cuba,
nor is he among those who lack con-
fidence in the United States. On the
contrary the old soldier takes an en-
tirely optimistic view of the situation
and expresses confidence that the Gu
bans will be given independence.
Gomez declares that the reports Of
great differences between Cubans and
Spaniards or between the Cubans and
Americans, or among the Cubans them
selves is false. On the contrary, he
says that all is going we'll. Gomez
should have a pretty thorough and ac-
curate knowledge Of popular sentiment
In Cuba and yet there is some very
strong testimony to the effect that the
Cubans are hostile to Americans. An
officer of the army of occupation, writ
ing of the situation in the July number
of the North American Review, states
that a feeling Of irritation against us
is growing up and increasing each day
that our occupation continues IN he
declares that Spaniards share this feel
ing with Cubans. at is difficult for
the average American" says this
writer, "to understand fully the nature
of the irritation caused by our military
occupation. In the first place, it must
be remembered that we are an alien
race. Our methods of thought, of
speech, of action are different from
theirs. We offend them without sus-
pecting 1t. We ride rough-shod over
their %prejudices without knowing it,"
The people, according to the same
authority, fear our military power, but
they do not respect us. There Is not
lacking other testimony Of like nature.
There is no doubt that General Gomez
is entirely sincere in what he says and
his counsel to the people for whose
freedom he has fought during the best
years of his life ought 70 have influ-
ence. He urges them to unite for the
representing the soul of Cuba" and
says: "In the meantime the interyen-
ing power will fulfill the obligations IL
has incurred and the Cuban people,
heroic and sensible, will take the situa-
ton calmly, working and waiting for
the independence and liberty which the
future will certainly bring" He pro-
ounce a calumny against an honor
able people the suggestion that the
United States contemplates robbing the
Euhana nnt Of thafr nNun
1t would be well If all the Cuban peo-
pie could be brought to feel as this
loyal friend of Cuba libre does, but
there is reason to apprehend that the
dissatisfaction which prevails more or
less extensively cannot be removed

At the beginning electric light wires

At the beginning electric light wirea
were strung along the streets, but the
practice soon proved to be so dangerous
a nuisance that the wires in the bust
ness district were ordered strung in the
alleys. This makeshift afforded some
relief, but the element Of danger was
not overcome. The electric lighting
company has a franchise for the use of
the streets and alleys and there is moth
ing in that franchise which compels the
company to put its wires under ground.
That being the case the only thing the
city can do is to instruct its city cleo
trician to see to 1t that electric lighting
wires are strung in the alleys in a way
that will offer the least impeachment to
fremen in the work of fighting a fire
and insure their safety while engaged in
fire fighting. There is no perfect rem
edy for the deplorable condition OF
things short of a system of subways.
How best to install such a system is the
question.

The disposition to single out Omaha
among other distributing centers as the
point of least resistance Is again exem-
plifed in the discriminating rates on
packing house products whereby
Omaha is made to pay a proportionately
higher rate than Sioux City or st.
Joseph. Omaha should insist on fair
play at the hands OF transportation com
panies in return for fair treatment The
only conceivable reason for these dis
eliminating rates is that the railroad
managers feel confident of being able to
do as they please and the commercial
interests do not seem disposed TO dis
pute their claim

Sweet, sweet as the heart of a rose
Just as its leaves unfold,
Fond, fond as the last farewell
After life's tale Is told.
Under the starlight's silvery shine
Raised she her love-lit eyes to mine:

Gemming the brow of night,
Clear, clear as the limpld pool
Jiilied in spotless white.
Filled, filled with a deathless love
Pure as a ray of light.

The First Nebraska was one of the regi-
ments which saw as much of the fighting
about Manila as any of the regiments. Its
muster out reports in San Francisco show
that it had 1926 men on its rolls, of whom
thirty three were killed in battle or died
of wounds, and that 1t lost twenty-five men
by disease. The Tenth Pennsylvania is an
other regiment which has seen it's share OF
the fighting in Luzon. Its rolls bore $40
names. Its losses by battle were fifteen,
and six by disease. These facts from the
muster rolls dispose Of whole columns OF lies
