The state OF health OF one OF our two
surviving ex-Preside tents was the sub
let Of numerous newspaper para
graphs a few weeks ago. Neither OF
the two has yet reached the average
number Of years attained BY ex-Presi-
dents from Washington to Arthur.
Washington's brief life after he left
the presidency was longer than that Ut
Polk or Of Arthur, for IN the June fol-
loving the close Of his CHIEF magis-
tracy Polk was dead, and Arth ur sur
yived his retiremen less than two
years. John Adams lived twenty-five
years as EXP dent, and his son,
John Quincy Adams, showed for near
y nineteen years how Importantly a
former chief magistrate may serve his
country. Van Buren, and Fillmore sur
vived the presidency twenty-one years;
Madison, nineteen years ! efferson and
Tyler. seventeen years; Pierce, twelve
pears, and Hayes nearly as long. s.z

Putting OF the Canal Bill.

The Nicaraguan canal bill has been
! sidetracked until after the election.
Mark Hanna's opposition to the Mic
aragua canal bill springs from dou-
BILE source. Mckinley is opposed to
the bill because it ignores the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty and he stands
| pledged to Great Britain on that
proposition. But the thrifty Mark
makes one hand wash the other. He
takes advantage of McKinley's oppo-
sition to line up the Pacific railroad
opposition to the canal for big cam
paign contribution. So the spectacle
| is seen of a measure which passed the
| house by an overwhelming and nom
partisan vote, stalled in the senate at
the dictation of the republican boss,
| whose campaign Golfers are to be en-
riched thereby to the extent of
million dollars. The building of the
Nicaraguan canal would add 90 times
its cost on the day of its completion
| to the permanent wealth of the United
States. The entire cost would be less
than Mckinley has wasted on a single
year of his interminable Philippine
war. 1t would furnish an enormous
and permanent stimulus to Americas
shipbuilding. Yet the ship subsidy
bill supplies Hanna's idea of how to
benefit American shipping, and the
defeat of the Nicaragua canal bill at
the instigation of the Pacific railroads
is his idea of American craftsmanship.
The republican orators and papers
have found their only excuse for the
Philippine outrage in the much
Wanted and much exaggerated ex-
pausion of oriental trade. Yet Hanna
would make that entire trade, large
or small, pay tolls to the Pacific rail-
roads, rather than give it opportunity
for free highway across Nicaragua.

4 Trust,a Cold RIun.

The San Francisco Call explains
how the tobacco trust successfully
worked cold bluff on the dealers OF
Los Angeles not long ago. The meth
cd of dictation is not limited to the
tobacco trust, but is a weakness
affecting all other trust monopolies.
1t is nothing but legalized "stand
and deliver" command of the old
fashioned highwaymen. This is the
Calls story:
In give you just Is minutes 10
stop the sale of all outside tobacco,
and handle only the goods of the Amer
lean Tobacco company" said Herman
Heyneman, of this city, as he faced
the tobacco dealers of Los Angeles at
a meeting in that city few days ago.
Coolly pulling out his watch, Hey
neman noted the time. and laying his
timepiece on the table, proceeded to
explain his position more fully.
I'VE want you to handle our goods,
and l haven't the time to argue the
matter with you. If you do not agree
at once to do so, all that have to say
is that l have a carload of goods here
and IS men employed to sell them. If
you do not agree within Is minutes
to handle our goods exclusively I'll
set these men to work and cut prices

And the bluff worked. according to
the story going the rounds, and gen.
orally believed in business circles.
The dealers came TO time before the
ID minutes had expired, and entered
into an agreement to handle exclusive
