AIGH.hANDeD USURPATiON.

Mr.. Mckinley is using his executive
office to further an imperial form of
government, Independent of Congress
or Constitution. The Chicago Chronicle
calls attention to this innovation:
For the first time in the history of the
country n series of commissions, So
called, have, under this administration,
been created to discharge many import
ant functions of the Government. \
very few of these commissions were in
stituted by law. But the most of them
were created by the President without
authority of law, under what is claimed
to be the war power Of the executive.
In some cases, as in that of W. ]. Cal
hOun and Robert L. Porter, individual
emissaries were appointed at enormous
expense for the mere purpose. as al
legged. of procuring information for the
action of the President. The military
and diplomatic officers Of the Govern
ment were not trusted to perform this
labor.
An incomplete list Of the commissions
under this administration and those
costing the most are as follows:

Small Change.

An acquaintance had just dumped q
small handful of change received from
a trolley car conductor into his pocket
without looking at it.
Don't you think you are taking
chances on getting stuck with mutt
lated, bogus OK nOnnegOtiable foreign
coins? Lots Of that stun gets into cir
culatiOn, you know"
''Yes, do know" the other replied
smilingly, "but you don't catch any OF
1t from street ear conductors. More
likely to have the undesirable coins
passed on You anywhere else or by any
body else. Think that doubtful, eh?
Well. don't. Have proved it BY actual
experience and observation.
''All the money impossible or difficult
to get rid of taken in by street car con-
ductOrs the companies for which they
work shove back on them. That is an
established rule all over the country.
Consequently no conductor who knows
his business will accept from n pas
senger any coin that is not strictly all
right. Not accepting any, he has none
to give out in making change. and, con-
seQuently. passenger may safely do as
I did. That is, drop the change he re.
ceives in paying his street car fare into
his pocket without inspecting it. If he
does look it over l will guarantee that
he will find more bright. new coins and
fewer worn pieces by far than he would
discover In the same amount Of small
change received in a commercial trans
action made in store. Am right?"
And the conductor, 10 whom the ap-
peal was made, answered with four
words:

sht.tutldi.s in 1890.

The year 1899 produced 2,447.53s
tons Of new shipping, Great Britain
leading. with 1,763.914 tons. The Unit
ed States followed. with 2S3,964 tons,
and Germany came next, with 1928
One of the remarkable achievements
of the year was the Oceanic, one of the
largest vessels ever built. Another nov
city was the steam turbine torpedo boat
destroyer Viper, which makes some
thirty-five knots an hour. A striking
feature Of the years record was the
increase Of tonnage built on the great
lakes. Seventy vessels, of I2,O94 tons,
were built on the great lakes. On our
seaboard 1913 tons of steel steam YES
sells were built. the largest output ip
our history.

FEW PASSPORTS NOW;

Their Disuse.
There are few countries in which
travellers now require passports in Or
der to promote theI: convenience and
security. In Brazil and Venezuela n
passport must be shown to the officials
before one is allowed to leave the coun-
try for foreign port. This Is a vexa-
tiOus measure, enforced, apparently.
for the sake Of enabling a few officials
TO collect small fees.
In Russia passport regulations are en-
forced with great stringency. No trav
eler is allowed to enter the empire until
he has obtained passport and con-
vinced the Russian consular officers at
the port from which he sails that he is
neither a Roman Catholic priest nor
Hebrew. The question ordinarily asked
is: What is your religion!' but it is
designed 10 provide against the entry Of
either Of these two classes.
When the traveller arrives at Rus
sian port with passport, which has
been properly vised and cOuntersigned
at consular Office, it is critically ex-
amined by police officer, and duly reg
istered
AT the entrance Of the hotel another
police officer takes possession of the
document, and in the course Of twenty
four hours returns 1t with permit for
limited residence in the country.
When the traveller departs for anoth-
er city In the empire he must have the
passport cOuntersigned by the police.
This process continues until he reaches
the frontier, which he cannot cross un-
less the passport has been vised and
stamped by tho police. Not infrequent-
ly tourists are stopped at the frontier,
and subjected to comply with the pO-
lice regulations respecting passports.
All this red tape causes annoyance
and irritation among tourists, who are
apt TO overlook the fact that Russians,
as we'll as foreigners, are compelled to
observe these police regulations. 1t is
the business Of the police to know
where everybody lodges. A permit is
required il a native removes from one
quarter Of a town to another. Every
body is registered by the police when
he arrives or departs. and foreigners.
when they are in Russia, are dealt with
on equal terms with residents.
The same system prevails in Turkey,
where 1t is not practicable for a for
elgner to travel without a passport.
Elsewhere in Europe passports are not
required. They are relics of bygone
period when communications between
countries were slow and infrequent.
Now that all nations are drawn togeth-
er by the ties Of constant intercourse.
a passport is out of date, except iV
countries like Russia and Turkey.

llliteracy in Russia.

The illiteracy Of Russia exceeds that
Of any other country claiming to have
a civilized government. The Humani-
tartan states that in 10000 villages Of
the vast empire there is not school,
and it is estimated that not 90 per cent.
Of the population Of the empire has
acquired even the rudiments of COM
mon school education. 1t has been
figured out that IL the Gar would dis
band 100000 men OF the vast army he
would thereby save money enough to
provide a school for these villages. 1t
is not surprising that the Car should
desire to reach some arrangement with
the other nations which would permit
him to partially disarm.

The Dropping American Eap,e.


When the British lion roars, the
American eagle, at present in charge
Of William Mckinley. drops off its
perch and scurries into the bushes with
dropping tail and head. Great Britain
has us, and showers greater insults
upon than we did upon Agunaldo.
Here is something to make an Amer
lean citizen hang his head and wish he
were BOer or a Filipino:
1t will astound Americans to know
that the British authorities are famil-
lar with the American consular code.
On Nov. 8 Mr.. Macrum sent a cable
gram in code to the State Department
urgently requesting that he be permit
ted to come home. Usually cablegrams.
because of the difference In time be-
tween South Africa and the country,
consume two days In transmission
that is to say, the cable sent by Mr..
Macrum on Oct. would normally have
been received by the State Department
on Oct. 10. But on Oct. 0, before the
cablegram was received by the State
Department certainly. and before it
was sent from South Africa probably,
the British papers in Natal, hundreds
OF miles away, announced in impressive
type that Mr.. Macrum, the American
consul at Pretoria, desired to he per-
mitted to go home.
Consul Hollis at Lourenzo MARQUEE
is well aware Of the British acquaint-
ance with the American consular code.
and the last thing he told an American
who was about departing was, For
Gods sake. tell the State Department to
change our code number. AS soon as
we send out anything from here all
Britain knows what we have said"
The State Department may not know
the surprising fact that 1t is impossible
for a United States consular or diplo-
matte representative in South Africa
to communicate with his Government
without informing the British Govern
ment of the nature Of the message. |
Nevertheless, the American consular |
agent at BlOemfOntain, of the name of !!
Elliott, is subject of Great Britain |
and perniciously active in his espousal |
of the British cause and the expression
of his contempt for the Dutch farm
ers."
