WASHINGTON LETTER.


u. S. had would be with Ger
many, there have been period
zeal stories alleging an intention
on the part OF Germany to pro-
woke war with us. Just now.
the latest is being discussed. 1t
started in Berlin. its foundation
being a published interview
purporting to have been given
out by high German officials,
which, in speaking of the rapid
growth of German interests in
south and Central America,
arkedly ignores the Monroe
Ioctrine. That interview has
aroused considerable interest
particularly in official circles.
AS all the world knows. the EN-
peror of Germany is DESTROYS of
greatly strengthening his Navy,
ne wishes Germany to become
great sea power, and while he
mas partially succeeded and is
now constructing a feet of war;
>hi ps that will make his navy
about as strong as ours, he wants
more money tor naval purposes,
and is DESTROYS Of influencing
= publiC Opinlonin Germany IN
that direction. For that 1easOn,
warlike talk In the German press
IS not very seriously considered
IN Washington. But one thing
may be set down as certain. If
Germany, or any other power
thinks the u. S. will not fight
10 maintain the Monroe doc
trine, they will make a costly
mistake.
The Interstate Commerce
commission rendered a decision
that is highly important both
to railroads and shippers, when
it construed the law, which a
New York concern sought to
show was intended to put all
receivers of freight in carloads
on the same footing, that q rail
road company is not in every
case under legal compulsion to
furnish the same terminal facili-
ties, for all descriptions of traffic
If that construction stands, it
will place a powerful weapon in
the hands Of such railroads as
may desire to discriminate
against any Of its patrons.
A domestic problem, which
War Department officials will
try to solve before Congress
meets, is how to make the Nat
ional Guard O. the several states
a working auxiliary Of the
regular army in time of war, in
such a way that the cum bersome
red tape method, followed when
the me1nb ers of the National
Guard became u. S. Volunteers
for the war with Spain, may be
avoided without offending the
principles or prejudices of those
who are sticklers for the rights
of the states in all dealings with
the Federal Government. 1t is
not an easy task, bu. those who
are charged with the duty Of
considering it. are hopeful of
success. All those interested
will have ample opportunity to
be heard before any plan is set
tied upon by the War Departs
ment, as it is the desire of the
department that a plan be re-
ported to Congress which will
arouse no serions opposition.
1t is already quite certain that
a tariff war will be found in
Congress next winter, unless
something occurs to distract
public attention from the quest
lou. The agitation started by
Representative BabCock, OF
WISE, when he introduced the
bill to remove the duty from all
products of the big steel trust,

Why Big Fish Get AWAY.

GIover Cleveland in Philadelphia
s4kurday Evening Post: 1t perfectly
paAn that large fish are more apt to
escape than small ones. Their weight
and activity. combined with the in
csbased thickness and resourcefulness
o6age, and experience, of course. greatly
inpreas their ability to tear out the
hook, and enhance the danger that their
antics will expose a'fatal weakness in
hook, leader, lire. or rod. Another pre-
sumption, which must be regretfully
mentioned. arises from the fact that In
many cases it is the encounter with a
isree fish which causes such excitement
cad leads the fisherman to do the wrong
thinE. or fail to do the right thing, at
thecritical instant.

The Preservation OF Native Bhsle
and Animals.

The Preservation OF Native BtSdG
and Animals.
Somebody proposes TO stock the lel1F
part OF tndia.a with 1sUrsolisE pSsss
SAINTS. The Belgian hare and the
Angora goat. to say nothing Of the
English sparrow, have already been
domesticated in this country at one
time or another, and candor compels
one to admit that when strange beasts
and birds from foreign parts have lived
here at all they have usually become a
pest. The balance of nature IL dis
turbed. and the result is that there is
discomfort all round.
1t seems as if, instead of introducing
new species where they do not belong.
some effort might well be made to pre-
serve native birds and animals. The
gray squirrel. which is certainly an
animal worth preserving. has been al
most exterminated in many parts Of the
country, owing to the beauty Of Its skin.
Native song birds and some species OF
game have shared the same fate. 1t
would take comparatively little money
and trouble to establish preserves of
these creatures, defend them from their
natural enemies, and see that they we're
fed and sheltered until their original
haunts were restocked with them.
Then. by judicious legislation and en-
forcement of the game laws, they could
he protected so that the natural pro-
portion Of them would be kept up, and
the whole country would be the richer
for it.
The ease with which the native in
habitants Of country regain their old
position in natures economy. after hav
ing been driven out Of it for time. is
shown by the rapidity with which game
is increasing in the abandoned farm
regions of New England and New York.
In places which have not known veni
son for two or three generations, the
farmers are shooting deer now and
then. The animals wander down from
less frequented forests into the aband-
oned lumber camps and woodlands. and
in time, into the villages. With a little
encouragement. they would return to
the haunts which their forebears knew
hundred and fifty years ago.
