BAY STATE GAS AFFAIRS.

A few years ago a prominent fnan-
cial journal OF New York, in conclud-
ing an exhaustive article on Bay
state Gas affairs. remarked that there
was doubt as to whether any living
person understood the ramihcations Of
the transactions Of that concern, in
cluding j. Edward Addicks. The pub
lie. then. may not expect TO get at
the bottom OF the peculiar and involved
hnanceering which has puzzled the
brains Of financial experts, lawyers
and learned courts. All that is known
at present is that millions have poured
into the Golfers of the company, that
stocks have steadily declined in value
that small investors have been ruined
that the books have not been kept oper
for inspection and that two or thre'
men have been able to draw millioni
from the concern.

An Act of Treason.

From the New York Tribune.
Governor Durbin of Indiana is evidently
not afraid of offending those members Of
organized labor who look upon the Ma
tlonal Guard as the worlSingman's arch
enemy. II is a deplorable fact that in
various parts OF the country union men
have been compelled to make their choice
between membership in the union and IN
the citizen soldiery. and that response to
duty against riotous strikers has been
charged against union men by some Of
their fellows as a crime. In consequence
Of this feeling. and with a view TO pro-
tectlng themselves against the ill will OF
their patrons, many merchants and man
ufacturers have discharged men from
their employ cor no other reason than
that they were members OF the National
Guard
The unions put the screws on" at
Evansville a few days ago to such an ex-
tent that several employers discharged
men because they had. as members OF
the local military body. aided in quellinl
riot. In commenting on the action OF
the employers, Governor Durbin said; ''TC

EDITORIAL OPINION
A Wonder Of Our Diplomacy.

From the Petersburg Index-Appeal
There is less surprise at the fact that
Mr.. Blaine. as Secretary Of state, had
made some progress in negotiation for
the purchase of the Pacific territory
from Mexico than at the long conceal
ment OF the fact. Mr.. Blaine had an
alert mind, saw the increasing impor-
tance of that region to the United
states in the inevitable development OF
Oriental trade. and was genuinely
American i'm all his ways of thought.
Long before our Philippine adventure
Il was clear that the way TO the East
was by the Pacific Ocean, and that IN
time-and not a very long time-the
American commerce westward 10 the
East and eastward to our West would
approach in volume and value all our
other trade, and ultimately exceed II

to secure for the United States all the
advantages of an extended Pacihc

oar saIIors are AmerIeans.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
The London Express has made an as
founding discovery in consequence OF the
receut visit OF the American squadron AT
Portsmouth. 1t announces that dhe sup
position that the crews Of the United
states warships were composed OF Danes
Naiays. Italians, and Slavs is incorrect
and points out that although good many
of our sailors are OF German birth OF
narantape. most of these have lived In
thls country for some years and are thor-
oughly American in all that the name I'M
plies.
The extent to which the idea that Amer
tcan naval crews are made up chiefly OF
aliens stln prevails in Europe Is rather
curious. 1t Is true that this condition pre-
vailed to some extent IN former days,
when our few vessels consisted chiefly OF
wooden tubs belonipg to past era. since
the fleet has been brought up to date and
especially since the Spanish war, there
has been a radical change In that respect.
This IS we'll understood in the United
states, but 81 seems difficult for Euro
peans TO realize it.
AS a matter of fact. an overwhelming
majority of the seamen on board our bat
tle-ships, cruisers, and gunboats are ma
tive horn Americans. The remainder are

have formally indicated their intention &c

The Street and Sewer Commission

fifteen feet. At present this connection
between the two chief thoroughfares is
little more than an alley on which traf-
