upon the cable, which it is shown
to have withstood. The fact that
it is spliced would not necessarily
mean that the cable was weaker at
that point than in any other por-
ton of the cable.
The strength Of the cable, aud it's
attachments, together with the
running power of the boat with
reference to whether there was
danger of sinking or upsettipg,
more materially determine the
safety or danger of the ferry
than any other portions of the ferry.
From the evidence, l am unable
to find that the ferry is unsafe in
these particulars. The county
commissioners have twice investi'
gated the safety of the ferry. ones

again when the hearing WAS hat

The supreme court of the United
States has, by vote of five to
four, formally declared that the
Philippines are United States ter
ritory, but it seems that there is to
be no free trade between the Philip
pines and the U. s., because the
protective tariff grafters want to
maintain their monopoly of the
home market, and are fighting
against the admission of duty free
goods from our new possessions.
The god and morality people are
up against it this time, for sure.
We hope they will keep everlast-
ingly at it and pile up the tariff
duties sky high, till, like the old
tower Of Babel it falls to the ground
with it's own weight. The average
republican tariff is fearful and
wonderful thing.

THATCANAL TREATY.

1t is enough to make a sensible
man tired to read about the Hay
Pauncefote canal treaty, and il
looks to us as though the sun had
been shining in diplomatic circles
and Pauncefote had been making
Hay for Great Britain. What the
senate needs in this matter is the
application of sound common sense.
When a man builds mining ditch
or an irrigating canal across a
right-of-way that he has acquired.
he does not think of entering into
an agreement with strangers rela-
tive to the manner in which be
shall operate his ditch after he has
built it. The fellow that builds il
comes pretty near owning it. IL
Uncle Sam concludes to excavate
this waterway across the isthmus
it does not seem to us that John
Bull or anybody else has got any
rights in the matter worth making
a treaty over. 1t appears that
Hay and Pauncefort have talked
the matter over and decided that
Uncle Sam shall build the cana
and then make it neutral. We
have an opinion that if Uncle Sam il
half the man we take him to be he
can keep his canal neutral without
making treaty with anybody
Who is going to build the canal.
ANYWAY?
