cludes as follows:
"a single question further. There
is much unnecessary talk about the
reorganization of the Democratic par
ty. It is difficult to ascertain exactly
what is proposed by those who make
use of it. The old party of Jefferson,
Jackson and Tilden still lives and is
good enough for us. What we need
now is courage, patience, unity and
aggressiveness. Let us adhere to the
old fashioned principles of Democracy
and the future will take care of it.

to Repeal Them. -,
Washington, April 1O-The iron and
steel bounties offered by the Dominion
OF Canada have grown to such pro-
portions as to create much discussion,
and there is growing disposition to
demand from parliament a repeal of
the law granting them. Information
to this effect has reached the state
department through a report from
Consul General Bittinger at Montreal.
The report says:
Last year the total bounties on
iron and steel. amounted to 1912, TIA.
So many iron and steel plants are
being started in the Dominion that it
is feared the bounties offered will
shortly become greater burden than
the country can stand. In all the iron
and steel plants now in operation, as
well as in those, projected, United
States capital is dominant. A single
company estimates the bounties it will
receive from the Canadian govern
ment for the next seven years at
$S,095, 000."

Foreign Soil.
Washington, April 1O.-The first
United States coaling station to be
located on foreign soil has just been
completed at Pichalinqui, on the west
coast of Mexico, and the collier Alex
ander is now taking. on 5000 tons Of
coal at Baltimore to stock this latest
acquisition of the navy. The station
IS on California bay, at the extreme
end of the long peninsula which juts
down from California and is known as
Lower California, although it is an in
tegral part of Mexico Admiral Brad
ford, chief of the naval bureau of
equipment, has long been seeking to
develop this point for the use of the
navy. A footing was secured there
many years ago through the assent
of the local authorities, but it was
desired that the Mexican government
should give its full authorization to
the work contemplated by the United
States. Through the state~. depart
ment extended negotiations were car
ried on with Mexico, resulting finally
in complete authorization for the pro-
Jected station. The work has been In
progress for some time, about $4,000
having been expended in coal ware
houses and slips, and facilities for
loading coal onto ships of war. The
capacity Of the station is 5000 tons
OF coal. A Mexican custom official
Will inspect the ships before they en-
ter the station.
