NEEDS EXPLANATION BADLY.

The GLOBE does not wish to i'm
| n1,gn the motives or reflect upon the
| acts of either branch Of the city coun-
| ell or any member of it, but it does say
that the action which the two bodies
have taken with reference to the street
| lighting proposition needs personal
explanation by every member respoii-
sible for it. We have nothing to do
with and care nothing for the bitter
fight between two rival companies for
this contract. The hotter their COM
petition and the lower the consequent
cost of service to the city, the better
for the people. Anything, therefore,
that stirred their rivalry and reduced
bids to the lowest terms was to be
welcomed.
We do not see, however, how the
council can possibly justify itself in re-
jecting Internationally a bid for this
service which was $4,000 lower than
any other proposition and calling for
propositions that will start the matter
all over again. When the bids were
opened the discrepancy between them
was so great that everybody admitted
that the lowest bid must be accepted
unless it could be shown that satisfac-
tory service would not be performed.
The only charge made against it was
that the posts belonging to this COM
pany were not in good condition. That
question was properly referred to the
city engineer, who knows his business
and whose word should be final Mr..
Rundlett reported that rs per cent Of
the posts were in fair condition. On
this showing, nevertheless, the bid was
rejected and new specifications are to
be made out.
1t is, of course. possible that this may
make competition still fiercer, although
it can hardly procure better terms for
the city. 1t is also possible that it will

question of party or politics or indl-

for the peoples interests. The mem
bers who have taken this stand should
express themselves fully. The public
want to know.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. GA
statement from most authoritative
source was obtained today in regard to
the relative advantages gained by the
United States and Canada through that
part of the Alaskan boundary decision
which refers to the islands in and near
the Portland channel. The most bitter
OF the Canadian denunciations of the
London award have referred to the di-
vision of these Islands between the two
countries. Yet the authoritative state
ment given to your correspondent to-
day declares that this part of the
award was agreed upon with the least
possible controversy, the Canadian
members submitting almost without a
protest to the plain evidence contained
In Vancouver's narrative of his early
voyage through the waters surrounding
these islands.
The Canadian newspapers have made

islands was due to diplomacy and not

These statements have been encour-

The impression has been given in the
united States that the Canadians gain
ed superior advantage, from a strate-
gic point OF view, by the acquisition OF
Pearse and Wales islands. 1t has been
said that these islands would enable
the Canadians to fortify the approaches
by sea to Port Simpson, which is to be

posed Grand Trunk Pacific railway,
The author of the authoritative state
ment referred to, however, declares
that the islands which were awarded to
the United States-Sitklan and Kan
naghunut-are vastly more valuable
for the very purpose which Canada
would like to subserve, namely, the
fertilization of the channel leading to
Port Simpson. This is because the ISL
ands acquired by the United States
are on the ocean side and command
the first approach to the channel. The
southern end of Sitklan island is two
and half miles from Port Simpson,
across the channel. The southern end
of Wales island, acquired by the Cana
dams, is only two miles from Port
Simpson, but Sitklan, in the vent Of
war, would command the first sight Of
vessel of war approaching the port
for it is farther west on the ocean
side.
Moreover. Sitklan island commands

A WELCOME EXCUSE.

The "stand-patterS'' are shouting
with glee over the condition Of the
treasury. The Republicans who are
not stand patters" by conviction, but
who have been whipped into line as
part of party policy, are delighted with
what they conceive to be mode of es
cape that will save something of their
self-respect. The attitude of all Of
them is that of Secretary Shaw, as re-
ported exclusively by III G BEES
special representative at Washington.
Secretary Shaw says, II am in perfect
agreement with Gov. Cummins on the
proposition, and he has been called the
chief of the revisionists. But I do say
that am not revisionist at this time.
Neither is Cummins."
The deficit, says Shaw, is the answer
to those folks who have been talking
about tariff revision in order to reduce
the surplus. Is it, then? The ease,
with which gentlemen on that side Of
the political fence change their posi-
ton with reference to the relation of
high tariff to revenue would astonish
anybody not as accustomed as they are
to the acrobatic line. The original
Mckinley tariff bill, one may@erecall,
was entitled an act to revise the tariff
and "to reduce revenue" At that time
the same question. of a surplus was
embarrassing, and the Republican
sponsors of this act held that to in
crease duties would be to decrease
revenue by cutting off importations.
We do not intend to enter at this.
moment upon discussion of the ques-
ton whether high tariff fills or emp
ties the treasury. We do intend to
force home the point that the Repub-
lican party cannot claim that it does
both at the same time; or that it will
do either according to what they may
need or what they may prefer to say.
II a nlSn Ldrl1I cut down treasury re-
ceipts in 1890, it will not keep them up
in 1903. If to reduce the tariff dozen
years ago was to increase revenue, then
to reduce it today would not be to add
to the deficit. Nothing is more amaz-
ing than the openness and scorn with
which the average politician plays the
people of the country for fools. Before
asking any other questions in the COM
ing campaign, the people should re-
quire the Republican leaders to say
whether they advocate high tariff as
duce it, and then oblige them to stand
their ground.
