the intention of evading the laws oI
both countries, especially in the sale
of spirituous liquors. One Of the
most noted Of these is located neaI
Fort Covington. The boundary line
runs diagonally through the store
and split the bar right half in two.
When customer appears the barten-
der sets the bottle on his side of the
boundary line, and the patron draws
it across the counter, thereby taking
it out Of the country, which relieves
the bartender Of any fault.
The proprietor of this place is a
genial fellow who has been conduct
ing his business for twenty years
without interruption In order to
secure a conviction the Government
making the prosecution must have
accurate survey made, and prove bey-
ond doubt just the exact spot where
each bottle was placed. That this
is almost an impossibility the Gov
ernment Of both countries have found
to their sorrow on several occasions.
The goods on the shelves of the
store are kept on the side belonging
to the country where they are bought.
Ir the course of day hundreds of
dollars worth Of merchandise is dis
posed Of, both from Canada and part
from America. The proprietor com
mands large trade and secures a
larger profit than ordinary merchants
doing businss on either side of the
line. He does not insist upon his
customer telling him whero they are
from, merely requiring that they pay
cash and take there purchase away
with them.
Little attempt Is made by the Off
cial, to stop the traffic, for the reason
that it almost impossible to prove just
where the good. were bought. A
variation Of one are two inches in
where customer was standing
would change the whole status of any
given case. However, there was one
occasion when the Canadian Gov
ernment secured conviction 4
carcle-. clerk left a can of American
spices on the Canadian side Of the cou
nter for a minute while he turned his
back TO do something else. Just
then a Canadian customs officer hap
pened in and found the dutiable goods
on the Queens domain. For this
one instance carelessness on the part
of his clerk, the proprietor had to pay
a fine of $50.
The twin cities of st. Paul and

The report has been current that the crew on the ill-fated Japan, that was blown to atoms, Wednes- day of last week, were in an intox- icated condition when they left port. If so, it is no wonder that the accident occurred with its awful results. The Sentinel is not going to preach a temperance lecture; but it is going to undertake to say that too often men having charge of craft leave port when they could not see a line on the chart nor tell safety-valve from a cylinder head, and the only wonder is that accidents are as few as they are. If sea-going men feel like having "good time," they should go ashore and have it; but the navigation laws should not permit the placing in jeopardy the lives of people through the carelessness of drunk sailor or deck-hand.

THE FUTURE OF THE PACIFIC COAST.

THE FUTURE OF THE PACIFIC COAST.
 An editorial in the June number of the Van Norden Magazine sup plies food for thought and recalls once more the prophecy of William H. Seward: "Henceforth Euro forth commerce, European politics, European thought and European
 connections, although actually be- coming more intimate, will, never theless, sink in importance; while the Pacific Ocean, it's shares, its islands, and the vast region beyond the chief theatre in the worlds great hereafter" The editorial re- ferred to is in part as follows:
 The Far East has become the West and is waking up. Japan is already awake. A white nation has gone down in defeat after de- claring an unrighteons war. It was justice that the Japanese should
 win, but it was a calamity to the
 white race that a test of strength should ever be made It is none the less . calamity because it fell to a weak nation of whites to make the lest. for the Asiatic mind con- siders only the fact that the van quished nation is of the white race. The victory has been followed by no visible demonstration of impor- tance, but every Asiatic heart beats quicker with the knowledge that white nation has been overthrown.
 Japan has been educated enough to recognize the value of peaceful intercourse with other nations, re- gardless of color. The nation is not necessarily a menace. But in India there are 100000 British among the population of 300,00O,- 000 These hundreds of millions do not love the British army, and are held in check by force alone. In China there are 200,0OO,OO0| more of people who hate the whites. Under the leadership of skilled generals the Asiatics could close the continent to the whites. It is, doubtful whether they will attempt to cross the ocean in 8 career of conquest, but anything else is pos. sible now that they are waking.
 The nations of Europe have deal: with Asia in a manner that has not been conducive to good-fel- logship The United States alone can come to those millions of awak- ening people as friend without suspicion. America wants no con- quests Ill Asia but the conquests of trade. It is fortunate that Amer ica and Asia dc not compete in the main products of commerce, and therefore this commerce can be car ried on without jealousy. Europe at present consumes far more than asia of our products because the individuals in Europe being awake, haze more wants. The awakening of Asia will make the individuals there demand more, and owing to the enarmous number of these little demand from each will pro- duce Q tremendous total. The Pa cifc Ocean is therefore destined to be commercially more important than :! Atlantic. It is not too soon t1 lay the foundations for the trade which we hope to secure in that quarter.
