the people of Delaware want electric

SPIES.

The National Guard of Portland. Ore. must
have encountered some difficulty recently in
securing members. At any rate the organiza-
ton has resorted 10 desperate measures. appar-
emily for the purpose of arOusing Portland youth
to fine patriotic frenzy and TO target practice
in the armory. It invited the Mayor OF the
town TO give the boys talk. which the Mayor
did with most fearful fiourishing Of boGies.
After few Introductory remarks the lights
were turned down. the town band moaned some
ominous minor dissonauces, the stage hands
softly started up the thunder machine and the
orator told tale black with treacheries and
perls. Agents of the japanese government had
procured accurate maps Of Portland: the tinest
wiggles of every lane leading into the town,
every bump and rut. every barbed wire fence
and henhouse in the enyirOns. the water main
routes and other like details of local geography
had been duly noted and cbarted by sly ennis
saries from. Toxic The orator confessed he had
not discovered the presence of the alleged spies
until their work was finished he never actually
saw little brown barbarian measuring of with
Il micrometer the precise distance from 81 llaw-
kfns's hitchlng post TO the red light in the first
drug store down the turnpike. But evidences
which he did not care TO disclose too fully war
ranted immediate communication with Wash
ington. Ere this. the National Guard of Port
land must have received at least a dozen new
applications for membership.
These revelations may well have aroused
the martial spirit of the Oregonans, as we as
sumo they were intended to do: but aren't they
n little rough on our good friends across the
Pacific? The Mayors charges impute TO the
Japanese Il degree of impracticality which we
are loath 10 believe is exhibited by such clever
folk even in the most careless moments. There
are several good maps of Portland which may
be ordered through any bookseller. The munici-
pal departments Of the city doubtless issue fairly
complete reports about gas and water mains and
everything else that might interest either Il
friend or a foe of the community. These reports
are accessible TO the public; and if they are not
clear to any reader the latter is free to seek
enlightenment In view of all this. the motive
of the great enterprise our friend the Mayor
unveils is somewhat obfuscated. If Portland
we're encompassed by vast network of mighty
Notifications it would he easy to understand
how some stray student short of cash might
practise cartography in the hope Of selling his
drawings and notes to some gullible official
But even Yokohama cOolie would know enough
to waste 10 time sketching that interesting but
innocent city. The Mayor of Portland goes out
of his way to be uncomplimentary. But then
perhaps the National Guard is trying to arouse
interest and raise funds for a luxurious new
armory.

NEW YORK As A PORT.

In article intended TO stimulate local civic
pride and serious efforts for better local gov
ernment-with whose purport we are fully in
sympathy-our neigllbor The World' affirmed
last week that New York, though greatest
commercial city, lis losing commerce to other
ports" As a matter Of fact as we have often
shown. the commerce of the Port of New York
is steadily and rapidly increasing, and increas-
ing at rate far above that for rival Atlantic
ports It is also increasing at a rate fully equal
90 that of the country at large, and the only
symptom of decline which can possibly he con-
jured up is a possible relative decrease since
1880 in the ratio of New York's imports and
exports TO those of the country as whole,
caused by the development in the last twenfv
or twenty-five years of the Middle West tie
Far West and the South and the creation
the Gulf and on the Pacific Of new and more
convenient deep-sea outlets for exports.
New York's supremacy an American sea
port may have been relatively a little more pro-
nounced a generation ago. when the Atlantic
Coast was practically our only seaboard for
commerce. But conditions then We're abnormal,
and some rectifcation Of them was inevitable.
The foreign commerce of the United States
has tripled since 1873 and doubled since 1897:
so that if New York has handled only slightly
smaller percentage of the increased grand total
it has lost nothing which it could not afford TO
spare and has not had its natural priority as
gateway of commerce either challenged or
lmpefiiled. The returns of the Collector of the
Port for the cal Idar year now ending show
how little basis there is for complaint that the
metropolis is losing ground point of ship
ment. The merchandise entering or departing
in 1907 WAS valued at 81 JOB 3333 .902 and the
gain for the year was S110 127. .325 This is an
Increase of s3 per cent, which is probably just
about the rate of gain shown in 1907 10y the
whole country 1t must be remembered that
foreign commerce. especially in imports, has
been somewhat checked in the last three
months. For the fiscal year ended June 30
1907 this eity's gain IN foreign trade was S139.-
tpe.eyo. or more than 10 per cent which was
also just about equal TO the percentage Of gain
for the country at large in 1906-01.
II must be remembered moreover that tbe
peiis which are making the greatest relative
gains in exports-New Orleans. Galveston and
Puget Sound-are IN no sense our commercial
rivals. They are drawing territory outside
our normal sphere. OF the Atlantic ports and
the Gnf ports east of New Orleans none is
Keeping pace with New York IN absolute or rela-
i've gains. All the Atlantic ports together ,,x-
ported merchandise IN l9o6-iG1 valued at 81.

NEW BRITISH LAWS.

The constructive activity of the British Par
lament in the last year will be brought TO
mind through the legislation which be-
comes effective at the beginning OF 13oS Ihere
is no measure of the first Importance marking
n constitutional departure, but there ar" sew
eraI measures which directly and 10 consid-
erable degree affect the daily welfare OF the
people and there is at least one which modlnes
the general policy of the United Kingdom.
This last mentioned is the Irish Tobacco act,
which Mr.. William Redmond has at last got
placed upon the statute book. 1t is now nearly
eighty years since the adoption of an act of
Parliament forbidding the production of tobacco
| i'm Ireland That prohibition has been accounted
one of the grievances of Ireland many deciar-
| ing that tobacco could be made Il generally ana
| highly profitable crop. Now that it is repealed
provision is 10 be made for levying excise duties
/ on Irish tobacco and licenses will be granted
! TO farmers and others TO engage in the culti-
walton and manufacture of tobacco If the
enterprise proves successful, and another profit
able industry is thus developed in Ireland, there
will be cause for hearty satisfaction; and at
anv rate it is well to let the Irish make the
experiment
Another new law which ought to be of inter
est as an example. TO New Workers, is that
dealing with advertising hoardings. 1t is a
somewhat feeble and halting measure the
efficiency of which will entirely depend upon
action by local authorities, which is not made
mandatory and which in any case will not af-
feet hoardings now in existence until after i've
more years. But it gives local authorities
power TO regulate new hoardings or billboards
which exceed twelve feet in height, and-what
is the most valuable feature Of the whole
measure-to deal with any advertisements
which affect injuriousy the amenities of a
public park or pleasure promenade, or disfgure
