Mr.. F. H. Clergue is now said to be PLAN
ming to develop the great water power
of Kakakabeka Falls, 1.-The Niagara of the
NORTH These falls, which have been
visited by many Minneapolis people, are
in the Kamnist1quia river, twenty-five
miles from Port Arthur. The perpendicu-
lar plunge is 10 feet and the available
power is estimated at $4,000 horse. Mr..
Clergue ALREADY owns the river fronts at
the falls Converted into electricity, the
power could easily be transmitted to Fort
William and Port Arthur.

Senator Nelson Up-to-Date.

Attention is called to an interview with
Senator Nelson in another column, In
which he discusses trust and tariff ques-
lions. The senator is doubtless well-in-
formed when he says that nothing will be
done towards tariff revision in the coming
short session of congress. He is equally
right when he says that it will be the
great question before the fifty-eighth con-
gress, Evidently, Senator Nelson Is none
of your sacred -Dingley-b statesmen He
realizes that history is not made but MAX
ing.
Trust-Eegulation, however, Senator Nell
son does expect to come up In the snort
session. To his mind the problem Will pe
to enact a law that will go to the full Inn
IT'S Of the constitutional power of congress-.
The SCOPE of the field is evidently not con-
sidered very broad by Senator Nelson. lie
differs on this point with Attorney Cen
eral Knox, who argued in his able PITTS
burg speech that congress power TO reg
u,ate commerce between the states IS
o,,ite broad enough to reach the trusts.
But before entering upon the $40" anu
tedious process of constitutional amend
wont giving congress specific power to
control and regulate corporations dong an
interstate business, it will be wise to enact
az radical a. law as constitutional lawyers
think will have a probability OF pelns sus
tanned by the supreme court.
| Senator Nelson proposes to create
court or commission to pass on the claims
| Of every corporation doing an interstate
business and see, before granting 1t per-
| mission To do such business, that 1t has
oon,n1;ed with certain salutary require
| ments to be fixed by law. This commission
plan with it's licenses or certificates was
also advocated in his primary campaign
by Mr.. Eugene G. Hay, lately republican
candidate for nomination to congress from
this district. Mr.. Hay, however, differs
from Mr.. Nelson in holding that a, consti-
tut1onal amendment is not necessary to the
institution Of system Of effective fed
eral regulation.
The watering Of stock is, in Senator
Nelson's opinion, at once the mother ano
| curse of trusts Combinations are made
FOR the purpose Of getting plausible pre-
text to increase the paper capitalization
mon which the public IS expected to pay
dividends. It is this fictitious capital1za'
ton that stimulates the zeal Of combina'
ton promoters. They see rich loot IN II
| for themselves, and stockholders of cor
porations to be merged are tempted witt
stock bonuses, and there results arS In
dustrial or commercial combination fol
which there is no economic demand and Is
decidedly uneconomic- in It's organization
since it's object is to secure unearned ant
undeserved dividends for a favored few
We are not certain that stock watering i:
the greatest trust evil, but it is so great n6
so Intimately connected with the origin O.
trusts that to stop it may be to stop the
! formation of baneful corporate combina
lions and be the means Of relieving thu
dropsical condition of some that are il

Coming Home to Roost.

The anti Cuban reciprocity chickens of
our friends, the insurgents are coming
home to roost in such q rush that the
capacity Of the coop will be taxed to it's
utmost. If they are frank with them
selves they are not handing themselves
many complimentary bouquets these days.
We are not disposed to put all Of the
blame for the present Cuban embodiment
on their short-sighted course, with their
utter failure to get within speaking dis
lance of craftsmanship; for the Cubans
should, out Of gratitude to the United
States, have smothered their resentment
at the heartless way in which congress
rejected their appeals, not for charity but
for that fair exchange which is not charity.
Still, though a disposition on the part of
the Cubans to offer the other cheek to the
srniter might have prevented the present
complication, it is certain that it Is losi-
cal outcome of the success of the insur-
gents in blocking just Cuban legislation In
the last session Of congress. Getting no
relief from US, the Cubans have not un-
naturally tried to cut loose from US alto
ReIlSF. Inc ElaII amendment Is not
worth the paper it is written on unless
i the Cubans voluntarily substantiate it.
and gratitude rarely binds men or nations
In opposition to self interest. Repealed 10y
us the Cubans are attracted by the al.
lurements Of nations whose foreign policy
is not directed by a bunch. Of statesmen
whose diplomacy is shaped by petty loca
considerations. Except that the policy
imposed by the insurgents was not the
policy the American people had at hear,

The French Canadians are beginning Fl

The French Canadians are beginning to
cut a wide swath In New England politics.
Adelard Archanbault, just elected lieu
tenant governor Of Rhode Island, is O.
native of Quebec. In the same state three
French Canadians were elected to the
legislature and many were chosen to mu-
nicipal Offices. IN New Hampshire seven
Canucks are members of the legislature.
In Massachusetts, they have the state
treasurer, J. L. Chalifoux, and a.. dozen
members of the legislature. In the good
old days when Puritan and Frenchman
were gaily harrying each other, and the
former slowly gained the upper hand, he
never dreamed that in days to come he
would be electing Frenchmen to office in
his own New England. .a &,

The decline in the price of silver has
made 81 gold worth $3.50 Mexican silver
at Manila. The government and all hold
ers of silver are losers and the instability
of the currency Is injuring business. Still
our solons insisted on giving the Philip
pines silver currency. The Philippines
commission. however, has done nothing
yet to put out such a currency, and looks
to the next session of congress to give the
islands the gold standard.
