No feature OF the commerce OF the
United States, whether domestic or
foreign, shows more wonderful
development than that carried upon the
Great Lakes where navigation is about
TO resume for the season of 1900. A
growth in our foreign commerce from
one billion dollars in exports from 444
million dollars II 1872 to 1927 million
dollars in 1899 is even more striking,
but this growth is insignificant when
compared with the growth of commerce
on the Great Lakes as measured by the
few available measuring rods which the
present rather unsatisfactory statistical
system furnishes.

Efforts are to be made by the Grand
Army OF the Republic to secure legis-

pension court OF appeals, which is to
pass finally on all applications tor pen

cases which have been rejected by the
Interior Department, and these iu addi-

Indiana will soon be authorized to go
into the Court of Claims and sue for the
amount expended by it in raising and
equipping troups in the war OF the rebel
lion. A bill authorizing this has passed
the Senate and has been savorably re-
ported from the House Committee OF
War Claims. AS the measure passed
the Senate it gave the Court OF Claims
jurisdiction over the claims amounting
to S7l4, ,476, which include discount on
bonds sold, amounting to S242, ,107; COM
missions, 81, ,6s5; interest to May /, 1868,
1852, 1856; and interest from May /, 1868,
to May l, 1881, sl07, ,407. The House
struck out that portion dealing with
the discount on bonds, which reduces
the claim to S47l, 1863.

Instead OF trying to cut down the
privileges Of newspaper transmission at
second class rates, it is urged that Con-
gress had better revise the law regula-
ting railway charges. This was adop-
ted in 1878, and since that time, there
has been an enormous reduction in the
amount that 1t costs the railroads to
handle the mails. For example, where
an engine hauled three or four cars
then 1t hauls eight or ten cars now, and
where car carried ten tons OF mail
then II carries forty tons now. The en-
tire expense of building and equipping
mail cars is borne by the railway CON-
panles, but they are built according to
plans and specifications furnished by
the department. The government pays
S. 700 year rental for each car, al
though the first cost oil construction is
less than $4,000.

The Dry Tortugas haye been formally
turned oyer to the Navy Department,
to be turned into great naval station.
Before the Spanish war, they were held
by the Marine Hospital as a quarantine
station and were reclaimed by it after
the war was over. AS they have the
only deep and fine harbor for many
miles, the navy WAS loath to give them
up and appealed to the President, who
has decided In favor OF the Navy. The
islands are veritable stronghold. and
will be made more effective by protec-
tive works. They will be one of the
largest coaling stations In the world, a
great deal Of money having been ex-
pended in contracts for the equipment
Of the place with the latest appliances
for handling fuel.

Attention has been called to the
curious fact that the call for tho Dem

STREAMS WILL FIND THEIe OUTLET,

Ambition and great courage,
Whenever such united be,
Hew n pathway through the forest,
OF public sympathy.
Working always, ever carving
Through the human rocks OF stone,
Like little strcamet flowing
Making channels of It's own.
With Its ever ceasess flowing
Far beneath our conscious.view,
With its unattractivo murmur,
Works to make passage through.
Every streamlet finds its outlet
Though IL toll III vain for years,
So should we seek some employment,
Needless OF our cares and tears.
Constantly careers be plotting,
With an aim to hasten on,
To some distant destination,
That will rcft us TO beyond.
