That PAN-A1FERTCAN RAIEW4E.
Pan-Americanism is not regarded seri-
ously by many persons except the pollrl-
clans Yet pan-Americandsm. is bound to
become one of the great forces operating
on American progress even during this
generation
Within a few days T he G1ob be pub
hshed a statement of one of the official
adherents of, the pan-American organizes
ton urging the construction of pan
American railway. The plan eon-
templates a system which viii reach
down through the United States and
Mexico and into Central and South Amer
lean states, tapping the great lateral lines
of the United States.
A few days ago also The Globe re-
corded the announced decision of the
British government to have it's Australian
mails carried by way of the American
continent, instead as heretofore through
the Suez canal.
All plans and proposals of this general
character ought to be discussed in con.
nection with the project for trans
isthnlian, or, as some call it, a pan-Amer-
lean canal. They all bear a more or less
immediate relation to the welfare of the
American continent.
Pan-Amerieanism is little more than a
name in actual operation with us. 1t was
talked about by the late James G. Blame.
and it has been talked about since by
others like the late president none OF
whom has been anything more than MI.
Blaine's echo. We have pan-Amerlean
conventions, but nobody ever pays any
attention to them. The affair recently IN
session in the city of Mexico was the
merest meekery SO far as the general
American puBYc knows. The so-called
pan-American opposition at Washington
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1901-12-01

had really no distinctive characteristic
which would make Of it a pan-Amertean
affair. It was to all intents and pur-
poses just a common everyday American
show with the smaller americas playing
decidedly minor parts in its affairs.
There Is nothing surprising about all
this in view Of the fact that In order at
the present moment to get a letter from
the United States to certain South Amer
lean states 1t is necessary to send It to
Europe. Pan-Americanism is then good
thing to talk about, but up to the present
talk is all that has been done by any OF
the national parties to the pan-Amerlcan
idea. Talk, as everybody knows, is one
of the cheapest things in the world, ex-
cept when a lawyer is hired to provide it.
The most needfuI step, in the promotion
of pan-Amereanism is the railroad
scheme for the union of the North, Gem
trail and South American states. 1t would
do more for American trade and COM
merce than a half dozen canals. Indeed
the canal scheme will not bear any too
close looking into. AS Andrew Carnegie
recently said about it there is a goed
deal more of sentiment than sense in It.
A pan-A1nerican canal will be a more wall
liable agency for the commerce of every
other country than for that Of the United
States A pan-American railway Would
be a first-class thing for the United
States above all other countries.
If Americans would give their Thoughts
to pan-American railroad system in
stead of to a so-ealled pan-Amertcan
canal, they would be doing good work to
strengthen the bonds which should unite
all American states, and to make the
Monroe doctrine much less of a Jug
handled affair than it now is, with all
the burden of it resting on the United
States and all the advantages possessed
by the other American nations, most OF
whom repudiate it until, like Venezuela
recently, they have need to invoke 1t to
protect themselves.

REF0RMERS md SUYD1Y BEER.
A remarkable state of things has al
ready grown out of the victory Of Presi-
ldent Low and his following in Greater
New York. Recognizing that the victory
was que III great measure to the belief
entertained by large and influential
rlass of voters that it would not result
In the rigid enforcement of the Sunday
liquor selling regulations a movement
Of large proportions has sprung UP in
the ranks of the successful party in, favor
OF the opening of the saloons, at least
during certain hours on Sunday. with a
view to the selling of beer to those who
desire to purchase that beverage.
Richard Croker has asked what the
people of New York, and especially the
anti-Tammany people, would think if
such a proposal had emanated from that
organization, its members or supporters
The answer to his inquiry is self-eyident
Many Of the. reformers who are now
clamoring for open Sunday saloons would
be strong indeed in their denunciatlon
of the immortality Of the proposal.
Aside from what any class Of voters
may or may not think, the proposal is
reasonable one, or would be if it's enact
ment and enforcement were practicable.
Its discussion has gone on apace; and
q movement will be inaugurated at the
opening Of the legislature for it's enact
n1ent. There is really little hope that it
will be successful, as what are known
as the up-country Republicans are op-
posed to it beyond HOPE Of surrender.
The attitude which Republicans in ev-
cry municipality throughout the country
have borne on this question Of Sunday
liquor selling is well known. Statutes
which are an offense to public intelIi-
genee exist on the subject which are
rarely or ever enforced. They now rec
ognize-that is, the politicians, and the
small minority Of liberal minded per-
sons, among then-that the existing plan
of preventing foreign-born citizens
like the Germans from purchasing or
drinking their beer on the Sabbath in

The desire to remedy the existing con-
ditions is laudable, even if the remedy
were rot. as it is. beyond all reasonable
possibility of realization. The state of
things which exists in New York city
at this moment, produced by the Repuh-
lican enactment known as tile Raines
law, IS Infamous. Raines hotels exist all

FRANCES LILY.

The lily of France is no doubt the iris,
and not our blue flag. but the splendid
snowy 1eur-de-lis which England Inn
ported and America afterward as the
floWer-de- Iuce,-the name by which 1t
was universally known in New England
half century ago, though now one never
hears that name. 1t is truly royal
flower. but it's choice seems to nave
heen made before Char 1emagne's time.
when the Germaric tribes elected their
kings AS the flower book says:
ssFrom "a very early period kings OF
France have borne on their arms three
Golden lilies on an azure field. the number
Intended to represent the trinity The
flower itself, from its tripartite division.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1901-12-01

was one Of the emblems of the trinity;
and the golden centers of the three petals
of the f1eur-de-lis gave 1t a pre-eminence.
This, however Is an emblem of the past,
for the Valols and Bourbon and Or
leans royalties have all gone into the past
ages, and France has no national flower
as, the elder lily. Germany also has no
national flower, for the sentiment which
made the cornfiower Cknown here as the
bachelors button) so dear to the old
Emperor Wilhelm because favorite of
his mother. the lovely Queen Louise, has
never struck root into the peoples hearts.

dictate that some remedy shall be found
for the Raines hotel But the scheme OF

be dismissed as simply Utopian. Gov.

subject and he, frankly declares that in

Notwithstanding the many excellent
forces of society which are anxious to
promote the Sunday opening movement
in New York the scheme is purely polit-
zeal in its origin The more, farseeing of

The British dispatches from South At
RIGA announce the shooting of two pris-

course, that the Beers just shot these
men, as they are in the habit of doing,
just to get rid of them. If the facts are
ever made known-and there Is little like
them to be made known-it will be found
that these men were shot because they
richly deserved to be shot. By the way,
what has become of Gen. French. who
broke his parole and escaped from the
Beers? Can it be that he has been re-
captured and shot? Who will say that
he would not deserve such a fate in case
he were recaptured?

ABUsE OF TIE MAILs.

No more dangerous and no more dis
graceful use of the mails, which is not
made criminal by law, is possible than
that which enables the purveyors of
purely advertising matter, and the other
class interested in the spread of bad
literature, to- flood the mails with their
stuff at one cent a pound, as they have
been doing for years past
Postmaster General Smith has hap
PLY taken the subject up in his report.
He handles it without gloves. He makes
it the leading subject of his report, as it
is the leading evil of his administration.
What congress will do about it remains
to be seen, but the duty of congress is
not left in doubt by the postmaster
general, whose discussion of the evil is
at once thorough and unsparing.
The. newspaper may not be regarded as
a wholly impartial judge in the matter,
since the evil involves an invasion of its
privileges. None, however, will deny
that the great mass of. the people are
readers OF. periodical literature. Their
demand for newspapers and magazines
seems to be practically unappeasable.
1t is a healthy appetite 1t promotes
public intelligence and enlightenment,
and every facility which the government
can offer to the accomplishment of such
an end it is bound in dlrty to extend. It
is in this way that the rate of one cent
pound was determined on by congress
and the, postal authorities for current lit
erary matter. There is no such demand
for books. circulars or advertising mat
ter and they are sent through the mails,
always, or nearly always, at the publish
ers' expense, at one cent for two ounces.
Here are a few sentences of what the
postmaster general says on the subject
of second-class. mail matter:
The law defines the characteristics
which shall distinguish and determine
second-claSs matter, and it intends to
limit the privilege and benefit of the
pound rate to legitimate newspapers and
requirements. But, in fact, thousands of
publications which are IN reality books
or purely advertising sheets or gift en-
terprises, and which the law never meant
to include within the second class, have
crept in through evasions and loose con-
struetions until this abuse has grown to
colossal proportions and imposes a bur-
den Of many millions of dollars a year
ON the government and the people.
This is very plain statement of one
feature of an abuse which is bad in itself,
but which also costs the government
millions of dollars annually. Until the
authors and dealers in the fake litera-
ture which ns~ passes through the mail
as second class matter are made to I'M
derstand that not only will their stuff
be confseated, but that they themselves
will get into trouble for mailing it for
what it is not, it will be difficult if not
impossible, for the postoff1ce department
to put an end to the evil.
