The fact may not be generally
known that Uncle Sam is in the chrys-
anthemum business and that his ex-
hibits in this line are something alto
gether gorgeous and almost UNIQUE.
The chrysanthemum show which the
secretary Of agriculture has been CIV
ing in Washington has even excited
the envy and admiration of the Japa
nese colony there, who allow that thew
never saw anything more beautiful at
home. The specimens which have
been grown under the direction of the
agricultural departments experts rival
the rarest Of their kind in the world.
Whether OF not the raising of chrysau-
themums is Of any practical value to
the science of agriculture, it is crafty
ing to know that the department is
producing the best in the market.

There seems to be a misapprehen-

That is fair example of the way
the trusts work. The steel trust, be-
ing engaged in SO many different
branches of manufacturing can afford
to cut prices below the st in any par
ticular line in order to bring a com
petitor to terms, Ia this way it can
dictate prices and can soon make up
for any temp orary losses! incurred
while tanning the inder endent com.

does not own more than about hall

tariff laws 90 % to make some roduc-
ton on trust articles It would have
taken the wind out Of the sails of the
democratic party 90 long as it was on
that tack. But By taking this posi-
tion they will help force the fight on
the tariff issue, aud keeping the peo-
pie from thinking ot-other questions
far more important to them. Perhaps
this Is really what both parties want
q sham fight on q sham issue to dis.
tract the attention Of the people.
Roosevelt is opposed to any change
in our financial system, but thinks
some additional laws are needed to
provide more elastic currency, to be
supplied by the banks.
He devoted good deal of space to
discussing the subject of the relations
between corporations and labor
unions. He sees good in both kinds
of combinations, with a potentiality
of evil in both, and hopes they will
come to an understanding, but he has
no suggestions for congress, except
what may be implied in the recommen-
datton for the establishment of a de-
partment of commerce.
He insists strongly on giving Cuba
better trade relations with this cou ntrv,
and hopes soon to be able to submit
to the senate treaty with Cuba en-
bodying such trade privileges as he
has suggested. This would take the
matter out of the hands of the house,
but would require a two thirds m aiori-
ty Of the senate to pass it.
AS might be expected from man OF
such strenuous views, the pre- sident
devoted dood deal OF space to the
question of strengthening the army
and navy. He wants extensive army
maneuvers to give the higher officers
practice in handling large bodies of
soldiers. For the same reason he en-
dorses the extensive naval maneuvers,
and recommends appropriations that
Will enable those in command to give
practice in the use of the great naval
guns HIS says the navy needs one
Thousand new officers aud wants some
provision made for supplying this
need. Roosevelt seems to have been
strongly imbued with idea of the mar
tlal powers of EnrOne that tho ,uov+o
have peace is to be ready to fight on
a moments notice.
The message is not as long as usual,
as all references to departmental re-
ports are left out. It deserves = care
full reading by all who are interested
in governmental affairs, and that
ought to include every citizen of the
country.

So Land Spectators ana Irrigation.
The somewhat disgusting discovery
has been made by Mr.. Newell, hydrog-
rapher Of the United States geological
survey, who is in charge Of the plans
for the Inauguration OF the irrigation
project approved 1t the last session OF
congress, that, spectators have pre-
empted much of the land to be re-
claimed. Nine-tenths of it is public
domain, and in anticipation of it's recla-
nation by irrigation spectators have
FASTENED to secure it under, the home
stead law. This will not, of course, ex-t
empt them from paying the cost of irri-
CATION, about $40 an acre, in ten annual
payments, but it will enable them to
hold the property and dispose of it at
a round profit, thanks to the govern
ment's improvement.
Mr.. Newell sees no way at present +o
prevent this exploitation of a national
Improvement for private gain, but
hopes that the clause permitting the
secretary Of the interior to fix the size
of homesteads in the reclaimed district
at forty, sixty, eighty or 100 acres NAV
compel these spectators to d'sgorge
much Of their holdings acquired under
the 100 acre homestead allotment.
While the government will not lose
anything by this flood of spectators,
the beneficent purpose of the law is
likely to be seriously interfered with.
Many prospective settlers will be un-
able to secure the benefits without sub
hitting to the squeezing process at the
hands of the spectators. The matter
is one to which the coming congress
should give early attention.

A CONTEST ON the COAST.

D. j. Hill is certainly the most long,
headed man in the. transportation
business in this country. For years
ne has been planning to make his
road the highway to the Orient and
making Seattle the principal seaport
city on the Pacific coast. He knows
that to deprive San Francisco of this
proud proposition some sacrifices are
necessary. Lately it was announced
that he had made forty cent rate to
Asiatic ports. The Railway Age, q
prominent railroad journal, c m
planned that this rate was ruinous,
but Hill does not think so. He is
building for the future. Now comes
another attack on San Francisco.
Hill offers to transport soldiers to the
Philippines for $25 each, and to carry
supplies for the army for forty cents
per hundred pounds. The purpose is
to get the government out of the trans.
port business, move The large militia
ry camp from San Francisco to Seat
tie and establish q irregular steamship
route between that place and the Phil
ippines. When the trade is once es-
tablished along that route it will be
easy for Hill to recoup himself for
any losses sustained while building it
up. The matter will be fought out in
congress-. San Francisco will make q
determined effort to prevent the
change. Hill is on hand with assist
ants to push his side of the case, and
there will be a lively tilt for supreme
cy on the Pacific coast. = "a $50 /,
