As the natural course of the trusts will be to become more powerful and more oyerbearing there is little doubt but that the people will be glad to seek re- lief from their eXtortions at the only source from which there is the least hope of obtaining it. Senator Car mark, who apparently believes, at least to some extent in Mir Rooseyelts sincerity, predicts than when the pres ident comes to appreciate the true re lations between the republican, party and the trusts he will become "dem- ocratic ally" but that view of the situ- ation is not generally entertained in Washington.

 The general business situation con- tinues eminently satisfactory. There are no signs of serious reaction, and, on the contrary, there are increasing indications that we are to have a good fall trade, writes Banker Henry Clews. The best element of confidence is the crop situation. Corn is making splendid progress, and everything now points to bumper crop of 2,500,OOO,O00. bushels. There will also probably be ample crops of wheat and cotton. The importance of this to the farmers, the cattle raisers and the railroads cannot be overestimated. If expectations are realized we shall not only have good business results from the Vest but railroad returns may be expected to make much better reports than they did last year when they suffered from the corn damage. In the industrial field prospects are not quite so brilliant Prices are high-often high enough to check the free placing of orders-and costs of production have risen mater ially owing to the advances iu wages and In raw materials; so that manu- facturers, while finding a free outlet for their goods, are obliged to meet steadily diminishing profits. Needless to say the aggressive attitude of labor added to these drawbacks renders the manufacturing outlook less rosy than one or two years ago. This fact is amply demonstrated by the smaller profits reported by some of the large trusts in their latest statements, and adds force to the suggestion that spec ulative operations on the long side of the industrials are increasingly haz- ardous. The iron and steel trade con, tinues to be an exception, owing to the marvellous demand for steel for con- struction purposes and new uses gen. erally Of course this steel boom must end, but apparently it has not yet run it's course. and many of the mills are sold six months ahead. Nothing so forcibly Illustrates American growth as our accomplishments in steel. Verify we are becoming a nation of steel in temper as well as physically.

"PRINCE.,

A large Irish pointer yesterday held a conductor and patrolman Ut bay in Canarsie trolley car in Rockaway avenue.
 The canine was taken aboard the car at the landing by two we'll dressed women. The conductor declared roughly that the dog would have to leave the car. Receiving no answer from the two women, who were as se- rene as if nothing unusual was hapA pening, he inquired if tie animal be longed to them. When they said that 1t did he told them it would have to go off the car.
 Very we'll said the elder of the women, If you want him off, why put him off,
 The conductor, whose ire was arous- ed by this time, grabbed the dog by the collar.
 The dog growled and showed his teeth. The conductor released his hold.
 Down, Prince" said his owner, and down he went obedientIy.
 VI tell you that brute has got to get off, dye hearY shouted the conductor.
 We haven't the slightest objection Tn the world to your putting him off," sald the owner Sweetly.
 This reply dumbfounded the conduc- tor. He stopped the car and looked at the great dog. The animal evidently didn't like the inspection, for suddenly the hair on his. back rose his teeth showed and his growls became omi- nous.
 The passengers became amused Several eXclaimed:
 "oh, MT Conductor, please put that dog off
 The conductors face became the hue of a boiled lobster. but relief was at hand. He saw policeman called him and asked him to eject Prince. That animal at once showed a most decided hostility to brass buttons. He advanc- ed. growing menacingly. The cop and the conductor retreated with alae. rity. A little tragedy might have fol lowed had not the owner of Prince called him off and said:
 'Mr Conductor, yon>T' please start the ear; here's a pass for my dog"
 "W-h-a-t1' exclaimed the conductor. "Why didn't YOU say so before?'
 Probably If you had spoken and acted courteously I might have done so,' said the woman. "Prince, lie down. Brooklyn Eagle.

mile line from tldewater. The United
States paid Russia 100000 for that
treaty as the title to Alaska and declines
to entertain any proposition which aims
to modify its terms.
There never was a more purely manu-
featured claim thar that of Canada and
no self-respecting nation could admit It.
There was an offer, however, on the part
Of our government four years ago to set
tie the question and it was rejected by
Canada. At that time our commissioners
were ready to go much further than
probably any administration will ever go
again. Now we shall insist upon holding
every foot Of Alaskan territory that we
claim under the treaty. AS was said by
Senator Lodge. the United States cannot
go into an arbitration and no arbitration
is possible If one side cannot possibly
gain and may lose. and the other side
cannot possibly lose and may gain. That
Canada will finally have to abandon its
preposterOus claim there can be no
doubt. The British government, II is.
safe t. say, will not go to any extreme
length in support of the Dominion In this
matter. 1t will not hazard the serious
rupture of friendly relations with the
United States by insisting that the man
ufactured claim of Canada shall be al
lowed. It may not he necessary that our
government should force this question to
a settlement, yet it is manifestly desir-
able that its removal from controversy
shall not be unnecessarily deferred since
it is a source Of irritation and an obsta-
Gle to the adjustment of other issues be-
tween the two countries.

The suit Of Kansas against Colorado.
over water rights in the Arkansas river,
which flows through Colorado into Kan
sas. presents some interesting questions.
In the complaint filed against Colorado
the state OF Kansas asserts riparian
rights and demands that Colorado per
nit the water of the Arkansas river to
iow without interruption past her arid
lands to the lands of Kansas. The an
swer Of Colorado to the complaint has
been filed in the supreme court Of the
United States and is a general denial of
the allegations OF Kansas.
The chief point in the answer. the
decision as to which will be Of most
far-reaching importance, is the assertion
that the right to irrigate takes prece-
dence over the ancient riparian right.
That question affects the whole Of the
arid west and the San Francisco Chroni-
Gle remarks that upon its rightful solu-
ton depends the welfare OF thousands
today and many millions of that future
day when the practice Of a compre-
hensiVe system Of irrigation shall have
redeemed from the desert the broad
acres that are now untitled. at is not
to be expected that the solution win be
easy" says that paper. The water
rights Of riparian owners have long been
solidly imbedded In our laws. Now come
the irrigationists and In the name of
public welfare declare the need Of adopt
ing a new principle. 1t is another illus
tration of the old truth that a law which
may be just and fair in one country
would work harm in another. 1t is to be
hoped the case as presented between
Kansas and Colorado will be sufficiently
broad to determine the whole complex
issue, SO that there need be no further
litigation on the subject. for the demand
Of irrigation is pressing and it is time
that all law points concerning it be def
nitely settled" The decision Of the
questions involved in this suit will
doubtless go far toward settling the law
points that may arise in connection with
a general system Of irrigation, but it
is to be apprehended that the courts will
have much work in this direction before
all possible questions requiring judicial
determination are finally disposed of. 1t
is not difficult to understand that in this
matter there are possibilities of almost
endless litigation.
