Reasons for Goodness.

The other main cause Of English cool
ness toward Germany is the belief that
the ambitions Of the latter AS a naval
power are directed mainly against Eng
land. The naval imperiaiisjs here TN
questi0nably have Germany I'm their
mind in their present agitation for vet
higher naval votes. Austin Cham
berlain made a speech this week which
seems 10 show that the Bilfour minis
Try Is anticipating an increase rather
than decrease in che naval -NpeEdi-
ture-
on the other hand, now that Russia
is crippled for the next quarter of a
century and mutual interest makes
France and England friends. il Is be-
ing urged upon the ministry that there
should be a redistribution Of marine
squadrons, concentrating greater
strength in the North Sea, and that
the present strength Of the Mediter-
ranean squadron has become a political
anachronism.
IL IS also urged, as wise policy. that
the British colonies shall be encouraged
to bear the responsibility for their naval
defense as they did long ago for their
land defense. In this way, Great Britain
could effect concentration of her naval
forces and adjust herself to new no
litical conditions in Europe with a pos
siDle decrease Of naval expenditure.
The Spectator" makes this comment
on the Republican Chicago pronounce
ment; The people are 10 be taxed so
that foreign competition may be kent
out Of the home market. That is Cham
berlainism and popularity. The plan
is "a curious evidence that the Amer
lean people, FOR All their shrewdness
are very bad arithmeticians The fact
Is the more noteworthy because the ap,ri-
cultural interest. which is the strongest
in the Union, is scarcely protected at
all"

Chicago. Feb. 25.-An important
meeting was held here today between
"a committee representing the National
Livestock association and the freight
traffic managers of railway lines CEN
tering in Chicago. The members Of the
Livestock association have been for
seine time opposed TO the application
Of the tonnage system in the method

ton being on the ground that the sys-
TEN reduced the running time Of trains
and thereby caused heavy shrinkage

The Livestock association also asked
that the return pass privilege be re-
stored TO bona fide shippers, and that
there be "a REIMBURSEMENT of freight
rates
The meeting was exceedingly harmo-
NOUS. During the discussion the traf-
fc managers conceded that the live
stock. service during the past year had
not been satisfactory, and that repre-
sensations made by the stockmen would
be immediately taken up, with the as
surance that there would speedily be
an adjustment All transportation

resented. The livestock. committee
