From what / have said about London's
city improvements you will see that the
government here is something Of an institu-
tion. This is, you know, the capital of the
united kingdom, the seat OF Parliament
and the residence of the king and royal
family. II has all the chief officials Of the
government, but its own administration Is
separate and apart from these. 1t is diff
hcult to understand II, for the town has now
a dozen or so mayors and a maze OF other
authorities, each exercising some sort Of
control, but most OF these were swal-
lowed up In the London county council. At
present there is a county government, a
city government and a borough govern
ment. The borough government might be
called a ward government. for the city is
divided into twenty-seven ~boroughs, or
wards, each OF which has its own mayor, its
own council and a certain class OF officials

than the revenues of many a state govern
ment. The council arranges for the debt
of the city, which now amounts to more
than $239, 600, 900. 1t steps little deeper into
debt every year, and it enters upon all
sorts of public improvements, granting
franchises and permits for all kinds Of I'M
dertakings.
II Is hard for an American to realize the
powers Of such a council. That Of london
county controls the music halls, the tram
ways. the bridges, the waterworks and all
public improvements. l have told you how
1t has already spent millions in erecting
houses to rent to the poor, and how it is
building several little municipal cities on
the outskirts of London for that purpose.
1t does, in fact, a wholesale and retail real
estate business. The tenement buildings
will all bring in moderate rents and the
city officials will collect them. The county
council will probably hold the fee simple
title to the ground along the Strand, and Il
will lease II at ground rents to builders. II
is estimated that the city will eventually
receive something like 500, 900, 900 in rents
from this source. and II IL does as Blrming-
ham is doing, that is, provides that at
the end Of the lease the buildings revert to
the city. London will become the richest
corporation on earth.

THAT MULE CAMP.
AS SEEN BY EDITOR KELLOGG
OF THE JAMESTOWN ALERT.

AS SEEN BY EDITOR KELLOGG
OF THE JAMESTOWN ALERT.
In the jamestown Alert Editor KEEL
logg thus writes of the horse and mule
camp at Chalmette, La:
I The question of whether the British
government is maintaining an army
post at Chalmette. near New Orleans,
has been raised in congress, and the
claim is made that this government is
violating the neutrality laws in allow
ing it. The whole country is inter-
ested in the decisions of the legal
advisers of the president. We Wis
tied the post, which is neal the city,
and found a stirring scene. 1t is a
deep water port and three big British
vessels We're being refitted with stalls
to carry cargoes of mules and horses
to South Africa. Four or five officers
of the British army are in charge of
the station and the wharf and shed IA
| cilities they have leased and guard
from all attempts to enter. The bus
mess of shipping mules and horses
was begun in 1899, and has continued
| actively. aver since. Each transport
| fitted up costs about $4,000 for lumber
and labor and each ship has to take on
from 5000 to 1000 tons of coal that
costs So a ton, besides the work of
! handling it. Over 100 cars of feed,
stock, ETC., are handled every day
here. Each ship carries about 25 cars
of feed, hay and oats. The business
costs $500, 900 a month as at present
carried ON, and it is estimated that the
British government has expended over
$%30,000,0O0 in this country during the
South African war in buying and ship
ping mules and horses. Horses from
the northwest, bronchos and cayuses,
mules from the south and west have
been shipped in great numbers and
owners have received a good price for
them in cash, in many cases more than,
the local market affords. From
Chalmette 81, 40 head of mules have
been shipped and 90, 1888 horses. There
is a corps of veterinarians on hand to
doctor sick stock and a good many
| appeared to be in the hospital. Over
$4,000 Americans have been employed
in the business in various ways, many
of the muleteers being American boys,
who complain of the hard job and
poor fare on the long voyage. It has
taken 1G3 ocean transports to carry
the stock. The Boer waI' must be
costing England enormously if this
one item of expenditure is an indica-
ton. 1t will be an interesting de-
cision as to whether our government
is legally wrong in allowing this ship
ment and the lawyers of congress and
the administration will have to decide
soon as General Pearson, the Boer
agent, is making a hot fight to stop
the shipments and has the backing of
the governor of Louisiana. The peo-
pie of the city who are benefited by
the traffic and all who sell the stock
seem to be in favor of letting the bus
mess go on. There are over 10000
mules also collected at lebanon, Mo-,
now awaiting shipment. The price OF
mules has advanced all over the south,

BEER, SUGAR AND TEA.


A Washington dispatch says thar
President Roosevelt has definitely
stated to the chairman of the ways
and means committee, that it would
be much better to take off the duty
on sugar than to reduce the internal
revenue tax on beer" In this the presl-
dent undoubtedly is right, and voices
popular sentiment. If he had gone
farther and included tea as an article
from which the tariff should be tax
en- off before beer tax is reduced, ne
would have been more right. Inc
tariff on tea, an article of general
consumption, not a luxury. is incon-
sistent with the republican idea OF
protection, which Is that articles OF
necessity that cannot be produced III
the United States should be admit
ted duty free.

Milwaukee Free Press:
Anyhow, there Is no good reason
why this country should not make
such tariff concessions to Cuba as
can he made without detriment to
any Of our domestic industries. Mr..
Robert =. Porter, who drew the pres
ent insular tariff bill, an extreme
protectionist, said on this subj ct
within n year:
The existing tatiif relations DE
tween the United States and Cuba)
are abomiuable, and cannot exist
long without Cuba rapididly grow
ing away from the United States. If
when we took possession, we had said
80 per cent, off for all Cuba products
imported in the United States, the
two countries would have been near
er together now. Cuba can only be
placed IN IA prosperous economical
| condition by II convention with the
United States that will give her
lent to that given Porto Rico.
Senator Proctor, of whose deyo-
ton to the theory of protection no
one will raise question, said re-
Gently:
| believe that we ought to make
some tariff concessions to the Gu
bans, and say this as a strong pro-
tectionist. We would not hurt any
industry in this country by dealiug
generously with the Cubans. II we
take any other course we shall in
jure the cause of protection in the
United States.
And Senator Gallingor of New
Hampshire, another pronounced pro-
tectionist, says:
Both justice and wise statesman
ship demand that we shall enter in
TO reciprocity trade relations with
Cuba which will allow tobacco and
sugar to come from there at "A much
lower rate of duty than the Diugley
law eNacts.
Another opinion is given by Mr..
5. Frye, late president of the New
England Tobacco Growers associa-
ton, who says

would not seriously injure any tobac-

BABcocK AND the PRESIDENT.

Democratic papers represent that
there Is political enlargement be-
tween President Roosevelt and Con
gresham Bahcock. We quote from
dispatch to the Detroit Journal !:
Representative Babcock says the
president treated him so badly that
he cannot go to the White House
any more to discuss egslation. Pres
ident Roosevelt sent for Babcock.
When he arrived the president told
him he was acting in II manner un-
worthy OF good republican and
fair-minded legislator The presi-
dent proceeded to lecture him as II
stern father might talk to his bad
son. Babcock left the house steam
ing mad" If the president did this,
the eleventh story patriots of Wis
consin should view with alarm the
executive attempt to dictate legisla-
tion, for they base their opposition
to Gov, La Eollette on u charge that
he sought to shape legislation and
subjugate Legislators.

EXTRA SESSION OF
LEGISLATURE, PERHAPS.

1t is rumored that GOV. LaFollette
is considering the ACCESSIBILITY oil
calling the legislature in extra SEES
sion next May to act upon the taxa
ton measures suggested by the state
commission. An extra session might
cost $4,000 If bills for taxation, such
as recommended by the commission,
were passed they would bring to the
state treasury for this year, at least
100000, which will surely be lost to
the state If laws remain unchanged
for another year. The possibility of
such legislation being enacted is
strongly incentive To the extra ses-
sion idea. If the legislature refused
to pass such bills, at session when
no other matters can BE brought in
TO conflict or prejudice them, it will
be clearly shown that the RESPONSE
bility is upon the legislature and not
the governor. The experiment is
worth the cost.
