A Handsome Edition

The special edition Of the Scientific
American, devoted to transportation
on land and sea, cannot fail to attract
widespread interest, both because of
the very handsome manner in which
it is gotten up and on account Of the
voluminous amount of information it
contains. It is safe to say that any
one that reads it carefully through
viii find himself thoroughly posted
both as to the magnitude and high
quality Of our railroads and shipping
The Scientific American has its own
characteristic way representing what
some people might call dry statistical
matter in an interesting form, and
the present number is no exception
to the rule. Both artist and editor
have collaborated to certainly very
good effect, and we believe the NUM-
ber will meet everywhere with a
hearty reception.

Chairman Cooper of the house
committee on Philippine insuIar af-
fairs tells your correspondents that
he expects the committee to author
ize a bill providing for the gold
standard in the islands before the
close of this week. He says three
fourths of the present commerce of
the islands is carried on with gold
and he does not anticipate any seri-
Gus effect from a change of standard.
Replying to a question as to why it
would be necessary to provide a
subsidiary coinage instead of inn
mediately substituting American
money, Mr. Cooper said those who
had studied the question reported
that it would be practically impossi-
Bile to convince the ignorant natives
that the American dollar Of the
same size and weight was worth
double the one he had been in the hab-
it Of receiving and that the attempt
would make trouble. For that rea
son i5 was deemed wise to provide
Subsidiary coinage which would be
withdrawn from circula.
ton as the natives became accus-
toned to the American dollar.

ourtaiIing immigration

The immigration bill will probably
receive early action in the senate.
Almost everybody in the country,
with the exception OF those VINO make
money out of the transportation of
immigrants, realize and admit that
the rapid growth of our population
from foreign sources is at the expense
of our national character. The cOun-
try, to promote it's prosperity, does
not need the great and continuing
inflow of the paupers of Europe.
We have long considered ourselves
as an asylum for all the oppressed of
the earth and as capable of satisfacto-
rily assimilating anything and every
thing human. 1t is time to consider,
however, that the habitable vacant
places in the United States are in
measure occupied, that the sources
whence come this immigration are
inexhaustible; but first Of all that we
owe most and the best there is in the
United States to the children who
come out Of the loins of our own
people.

THE WASHINGTON LETTER.

The news which has just reached
the state department. from Havana
to the effect that General Bliss has
secured the negotiation Of a recip
rocal treaty with Cuba along the
lines outlined in Washington, con-
stitues another triumph for the
Roosevelt administration, especially
as the president has secured from
several senators, formerly opposed
to the policy. their pledges to vote
for the ratification of the treaty
when it is sont to the senate. By
virtre of the treaty, which will
soon reach Washington, the United
States will secure q practical mon
opoly of the Cuba markets for those
manufactures and products of which
she has a surplus to dispose, and
will give in return merely a discount
of 20 per cent. from the Dingley
