The Wood Pulp Duty.
From the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.

from the CINCINNATI commercial Tribune
Having given to the residents Of the rural
districts the character of free delivery to
which they We're entitled, Congress should
devote It's attention to relief in the way Of
removing the duty on wood pulp, which,
being prohibitive, brings In no revenue to
the treasury. It's one effect Is to place it In
the power of the Wood-pulp Trust to charge
the publishers Of newspapers and maga-
zines just such rates as it pleases, and with
no redress Our northern neighbors of Can
ada are wiser in their day than the children
of light in the states. Canada, with prac-
tically unlimited acreage of spruce looks
to possible future when inroads will be
made upon the spruce, and the condition Of
her forests brought to the condition of the

The Cost of the Railroad Terminal.

With the progressive shaping Of the bill
pending in the Senate for the consolidation
of the railroad terminals in this city. the
question OF the apportionment Of the cost
Of the proposed Improvement becomes
again pertinent and important. 1t is to be
assumed that the Commissioners In the re-
adjustment made necessary by the change
of the plans. will that the Districts
equities are preserved. And furthermore
In view of the straitened condition of the
Districts treasury. it is to be expected that
Congress will be inclined to give extreme
consideration to all representations made in
the Districts behalf in favor of modifica-
tion of the burden to be placed upon the
community.
AS the present bill now reads. the District
will bear somewhat heavier share Of the
total expense than under the existing laws.
paying its half of the 81. 800 900 bonus to
the b. and O., Of the cost of the necessary
approaches outside of the right of way on
both lines. Of the incidental damages to
property and of the cost Of filling the Mas
sachusetts avenue space to the required
level ard opening the projected plaza in
front Of the station. The last two items
are added to those involved in the law
passed last spring. But the pending bill
involves material change in the plan. 1t
SAiihiHotVS substantial traction or the via
duct construction on the b. and 0. side, all
that south OF Massachusetts avenue being
omitted. In the official reports the total
cost of the b. and o. improvement was
placed at S3,122, 255, of which sum 81 354
195 was assigned to the construction Of the
terminals south of G street 1t Is a fair
estimate that with the viaduct south Of
Massachusetts, avenue eliminated at least
$4,000 of the total cost of the construction
represented hy this $l354. l9J is saved to the
railroad company. Yet there is IN the
pending bill no mention of a proportionats
reduction Of the bonus charged against the
government and the District combined.
1t is suggested, however that the B. and
o. company will recognize the elimination
Of this part Of the construction by donating
to the gove rnment the lands 1t now holds
south of Massachusetts, avenue. for inclu-
sion within the plaza and its inlet streets.

Anti-Imperialists and the Soldiers
Save the Detroit Trihupp.

Anti-Imperialists and the Soldiers.
Says the Detroit Tribune:
by admitting that they annoy him, Cen
eral Funston has fattered the anti-impe-
riallsts and shown how different he is from
the rest Of US.
But the Tribune hasn't been in the Phil
ippines. 1t hasn't threaded it's way through
tropical jungles. climbed tropical noun
tains. or crossed tropical rivers, with an
armed enemy in front. 1t hasn't witnessed
the fall of comrades at it's side, shot by
Filipinos encouraged to resistance by men
under the protection of. and some of them
holding Office under. the United States gov
ernment. 1t hasn't captured Filipino camps
and found there among other things printed
extracts in Spanish from speeches made in
the American Congress denouncing the
American cause, and lauding the Filipino
cause to the skies. Had the Tribune ex-
p,rienced anything OF that kind 1t might
no. feel SO Indifferent about the outgivings
Of the anti-imperialists in their snug bomb
proofs here at home.
General Funston's feelings are precisely
Ike those of General Lawton The latter.
1t will be remembered. wrote letter short
~ before his death in which in effect he
asserted that should he be killed those at
would be answerable. The fate Of that fine
soldier caused the publication of an extract
from the letter, and the effect Of that was
to make the anti-imperialists so uncomfort-
able they denounced the letter as q for
gerry. But it was not forgery. and not
long since his widow gave the full text to
the public with a sworn statement as to its
genuineness. How Mrs. Lawton feels on
the subject may be inferred from her pains
to see that the country was not left in
doubt as to how her gallant husband had
felt. He died with no bitterness In his
heart toward the foe In front with gun In
his hand. but with a very clearly defined
idea Of the foe in the rear with voice
in Congress, or a newspaper under his con-
troll.

Sky-Scrapers.
From the PHILADELPHIA Ttmes.

From the Phf1adeIphia Times.
The durability Of "sky-scraper" buildings
of the ordinary light construction has not
yet had q searching test. The statement
from one of the most widely known engi-
neers of the danger in Chicago from the
corroding Of the metal frames of such
buildings may well apply in some degree
elsewhere. When fearful disaster from
this cause occurs in some large city we

an enemy is an enemy. although. like other
men, they have a higher opinion of the
enemy who loads his gun and takes chances
on his own life than of the one who from
a safe distance eggs the quarrel on. That
is why Lawton wrote as he did, and why
Funston speaks as he does. The anti-im-
pe rialist may cut a small figure here at
home, but large one seven thousand miles
across the Pacific as the fomenter Of trouble
for the soldiers Of his country.

Collection Of Historical Portraits on
View in Mclnsrny Shoe Store
Relics Saved by Mrs.
W. G. Parke.

Tomorrow morning there will be in
the windows OF McInerny Shoe store
an interesting exhibit of old pictures
showing various views of Honolulu
covering the period from 1910 till
1870. The pictures consist Of three
large plates with one large view in
the center, surrounded on the sides
with pictures of single buildings and
places. These pictures are very rare
end valuable, the only set like them
known to be in existence being now
in the Bishop Museum. Those on view
at McInerny's belong to Mrs. w. c.
Purke, whose husband for period of
about twenty years was the marshal
OF the kingdom.
Besides the three large pictures
there is also small photograph which
in rarity and interest possibly sur
passes the larger ones. This picture
gives a view of Camp Saginaw on
Ocean Island and recalls a bit of his.
tory as thrilling as any of Stevenson's
stories. In about 1870 the United
States frigate Saginaw was wrecked
on Ocean Island and her crew thrown
upon its desolate shore. Two of the
crew volunteered to try TO reach this
city for assistance. They embarked
in small boat and after a trip full OF
Eardships finally succeeded in reach.
