That March afternoon, as Zeb Taylor made
his rounds Of the sugar bush with pals sus-
pended from a neck yoke, to empty the brim-
ming troughs of sap and convey them to the
barrels at the fire, it all came back to him so
forcibly that he seemed to be working in

childhood. The two farmhouses stood close
together, and the children had been .Zeb and

of the spirit and letter of the most
favored nation" clause in our treaty with
that empire, and that Germany Is en-
titled to similar concessions. AS to this,
the course Of our government has, since
the question was raised by France in
1908, upon our acquisition of Louisiana
territory, been absolutely consistent, the
recognized principle being that it Is
legitimate to make commercial conces-
sions to a country which are not gratui-
tous, but are in return for equivalent
concessions and to which no other country
is entitled except upon rendering the same
equivalent. For instance, Germany, in
nation clause as to salt which the tariff
law of that year admitted free, was de-
MED by our government because she
laid duty on foreign salt. Germany
acknowledged the principle in recognizing
the force of the Hawaiian reciprocity
treaty Of 1875. In her treaty with the
Hawaiian government, Germany declared
that the special advantages granted to
! Hawaii by the United States in considera-
ton of equivalent advantages should not

The devices of the extreme protection
lists are easily analysed. Their mode Of
action is sure to bring about the agita-
ton for tariff revision which they are at :
tempting to throttle. The late President
Mckinley, In his last speech, pointed I'M
erringly to the inevitable revision It is

tremists to yell "free trade!" when the
subject of revision is mentioned. Nc
Kinley was no free trader. No republican
newspaper or public men who advocates
judicious revision is free trader. The
bestowal Of the epithet upon those who
believe in maintaining and expanding our
trade abroad and advocate the most prac-
! tical and business-like way to do it, is un-
worthy those who claim to be statesmen.

The principal foreign sources of supply
of pulp are Canada and Norway. Why
these countries should be refused access
to the great American market solely that
certain manufacturers may reap great
profits from their monopoly of ownership
of the American pulp producing forests
is beyond comprehension. Here is place
where the Dingley tariff can, be altered

been completed in eighteen months, and it is
calculated that it will take only thirteen

at Fifty ninth street, is not included in Mr..

that this underground railroad will afford. II
it had been built twenty years ago, when first
projected, it would have been ahead of time:
but now, In a measure, it is behind time and
the growth of the city has been such that
all of the new facilities the subway affords
will be absorbed at once, and there will be
an immediate need Of providing for the growth
OF the future. People who expect that, with
the subway in operation, there will be seat

hours there will be as much holding on 10
straps now. Transportation, however,
will be quicker.

The Excise Question.
"A good law that is broken is better than
a bad law that can be enforced" said Bishop
Burgess Of the Long Island diocese in an ad-
dress at the Church of the Messiah in Brook
Ign. The new bishop of Long Island takes
different stand on the excise question than
that taken by Bishop Potter, so that the Epis-
copal church in this city may be said to be
equally divided on this subject. Bishop Bur
CESS is opposed to the idea of reducing the
quality of a law to make it enforcible.
He says that it is not the province OF the
legislature to take into account whether law
can be enforced not. Its business is to
make right laws, and leave the question OF
enforcement to the people. The bishop be-
ieves in the educational value of good laws.
The law against the selling Of liquor on Sun
day has, an educational value, even IL it is
possible to enter the side door OF every sa-
loon. Likewise the church should keep it's
laws in regard to divorce high, even il the
seventh commandment is broken continually.
The fact that the church keeps its standards
high has educational value. The bishops
theme was on the training Of the conscience.
He held that the first duty of man was not
to obey his conscience, but to educate his
conscience so that it would direct him Alright
and then came the duty of obeying its die
tates. MY conscience" said King Henry

PROTRACTED NEGOTIATION
HAS COME TO A CLOSE

The dispute was the subject Of pro-
tracted negotiations, resulting in an agree
ment in 1900 between Count Lamsdorf,
acting minister of foreign affairs of Rus
sia, and Herbert H. d. Pierce, United
States charge d'affaires at St. Peters
burg, designating Prof. Asser, member
of the council of state of the Netherlands,
as arbitrator. Prof Asser decided June
80, 1902, that the average annual catch
should form the basis on which damage
should be awarded. which was exactly the
contention advanced by Mr.. Pierce. who
was the advocate for the United States
government. The decision carried with it
the opinion of the court that Russia must
pay damages and only left for further
argument the sum due in each case.
The case of the James Hamilton Lewis
is governed by the same decision, while in
the case of the Cape Horn Pigeon Prof.
Asser in fixing the damages of $3S,75o and
the interest at per cent, held that the
general principle that damages should in
clude the prospective profits of which the
victim had been deprived, applied usually
to international litigation.
In the case of the Kate and Anna the
arbitration decided that the captain could
have ceased seal hunting and that therefore
Russia was not responsible for the pros
pective profits.

Berlin, Nov. ao.--The German Fleet so-
ciety. to which Emperor William and
nearly all the cabinet ministers. naval
officers and others high in the government
service belong has sent its several mcn-
bers, through the socicty's monthly publi-
cation. a statement OF the deliberations
which make necessary the building of more
cruisers for services abroad, especially in
Central and South American waters.
The communication deals with German
trade there and goes seriously into the
amounts Of the present capital invested
and the future possibilities. II does not
contain the least trace of jingosm, but
concludes with carefully phrascd para
graph saying that Germans must make
up their minds whether the business al
ready created shall be protected and cx-
tended or permitted to languish II the
former alternative is accepted the navy
must be increased by sufficient cruisers to
adequately protect trade"
Concerning the extent Of German inter-
csts III Venezuela, the communication says
they amount To an aggregate of $soooo,-
600, of which, roughly speaking. $is,ooo,-
900 is invested in railroads and Sia, ,soo,-
900 to $Is,ooo.ooo in plantations and pro-
ductivc works. The remainder is en-
gagged in trade and in the handling Of
