A Great Commercial Anniversary.


To-day and tomorrow Sault Sainte
Marie, Mich, will commemorate tho fif-
tieth anniversary of the opening Of the
st. Mary's ship canal. Michigan has
appropriated $4,000 for the festivities,
the United States contribute $4,000 and
the Lake steamship men have raised as
much more. There will be feasting and
fireworks and much talk, and the Fed
eral Government. various State Govern
ments and the Canadian Government
/. win be represented.
This canal, connecting Lake Huron
with Lake Superior, and thus escaping
the falls in st. Mary's River or Strait,
the outlet of the latter, was begun In
1883 and completed in 1855. Michigan
managed it until 1881, when 1t was handed
over to the Federal Government, which
built in 1881 the 80 called Weitzel lock.
SIS feet by 90, with depth Of 10 feet, at
a cost of some 81, SOC, 900; and in 1889 con-
structed for $4,000, 900 the Poe lock, 800
by 100 by 81. Finally in 1895, tho Cana
dams began to run a canal, with lock
1000 by co. The three locks take all the
traffic that comes along, without money
and without price.
The United States got good value for
tho sums they have spent on st. Mary's
Canal. 1t il an economic necessity, not
a branch OF politics and channel Of graft.
In 1910, twenty years or 80 after LEWIS
C SO, Governor OF the Territory Of Michi-
gan, got possession of the Sault Sainte
Marie lands by treaty with tho Indians,
the commerce of Lake Superior con-
sisted Of a Cleveland fishing schooner,
dragged around the falls, and Of the
American Fur Company's brig. John
Jacob Aston.
In 1904 there passed through the canal
more than 10000 vessels, carrying moro
than 100000 tons Of freight, OF an
estimated value Of s34o,OOO,0Oo Also
$4,000 passengers, The iron, the grain,

There are plenty OF gentlemen in the
world, but there has been but one
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN. Any phrase, al
most any series Of comprehensive phrases
will give but a partial view Of his many
faceted activities and achievements,
of his multilateral service to his coun-
try and mankind. Speaking OF what
We conceive to be his habitual temper,
his attitude toward his fellow men and
the scheme Of things, We called him the
tranquil and genial heathen,' chsrac-
terization which was repeated and
amended in our description Of him as
IAN antique-and also characteristic
eighteenth century philosopher This
picture Of him may be incorrect, but It
is a. we meant to make 1t.
Has heather dbreputable oonnota-
ton In the mind Of our Friend? He Is
to see in the word no image Of the incult
man of the heath the rude pagan
Of the back districts. EP1cTETus, MAR
GUS AuRELIUs. SOCRATES, PLATo-it
would take q week to make a catalogue
Of heather not to be sneezed at by the
most virtuous or celebrated moderns.
FRANKLIN had kind Of homely gnomic
wisdom, prudent counsel and philosophy,
tolerance, that remind us Of certain
heather his predecessors. And his style
Is plain Attic. Were it worth while,
we could compare him reasonably with
divers heather, with HEsIoD, minus
the poetry; with LUXURIOUS, SCION, the
Seven Sages. In his private life, at
one time and another, and perhaps
generally, he may be said to have been
one OF the drove OF EPIcURUs.
Finally, in strict theological sense,
at least according to the theologies Of
his time, he can hardly be described as
Christian Nowadays he is called
"a liberal Christian" To our mind he
was essentially In his habit Of life and
thought an antique philosopher; also
phaosophe, and very lovable and use
full "heathen."

Our Exports Of Steel Rails.

Bureau Of Manufactures the Dextscks Berv.
vsrks ZsauHp - saying. In . recent num-
Der. that the vast concentration In the
manufacture OF American steel rails has
rendered the United States able to enter
into the sharpest competition with England
and Germany In the export Of rails" In
support of that statement the German paper
points out that prior to 1900 the American
export Of rails never amounted 10 more than
5000 tons In any one year; that, In fact, the
United States was . large importer Of rails.
For example. In 1851 the import was 2oe 900
tons; In 1851. $4,000 tons: In 1857 1900 tons:
In 1855. 1871 900 tons. Beginning with 1890
the United States appeared a. q factor In
the worlds export Of rails. These exports
were. In 1870. 10000 tons: in 1895. $4,000 tons
In 1000. a4s. 900 tons. and In 1904. isi 900 TONS
The German paper then gives this table
showing the rails exported by England,
Germany and the United States in the last
fifteen years. quoting the totals for the Ave

Tho Transvaal appears to be Just now
the black sheep Of the British South African
colonial family, family which Is far from
a happy one on many accounts. Natal
In particular IL kicking vigorously against
the exclusiveneas Of the policy Of the Trans
vaal administration, which favors the
foreign port Of Delagoa Bay to the pref
udice Of Natal's port Of Durham. Natal,
unlike Cape Colony, allowed the Chinese
coolies for the Rand mines TO land and
pass through It's territory, and In return
the Rand mine owners import all the sup
plies for their coohs compounds through
the Portuguese port. The Noto! Witnsss
goes 30 far as to say that the Transvaal
ways and methods are smothering the
British instinct Of fair play and sense Of
patriotism, and that there is less friendli-
ness shown by the Transvaal to the rest OF
South Africa now than when It was under
the Beers. The commercial depression
throughout South Africa. 1t says, has not
been lightened by hairs weight, for all
the Chinese that have been imported; and
It calls on the Natal Government to ASSERT
It's independence Of Transvaal favors and
demand its just rights in regard TO COM
mercial and railway matters, The DIM
culties that have arisen It would rather
have settled amicabay on the spot and not
referred to the Imperial Government.
