ANOTHER FREE-TRADE STRAW.

An interesting and mighty comfort
ing decision has been promulgated
from the treasury department con-
corning the application OF our tariff
regulations. It seems that the question
has been raised as to the status Of 4
balloon when II crosses a national
boundary line. We take it that. sub
tect to the rules of the Interstate
sail from state to state with the full
freedom of the upper air. But when
it comes to sliding over into Canada
the situation is distinctly changed
There is balloon race coming for
which foreign. pauper- labor balloons
may be sent here under a satisfactory
bond Suppose. for instance, that
balloon made in France is sent to New
York and the bond is given. So far
so good. but the balloon is liable to
go farther still. Assume that the race
starts and that the French machine
meets a current which carries it over
into Canada and that then it hits a
counter current and comes sailing
back. Then We are confronted with
the entrance from a British colony Of
a balloon which has only given guar
antics as against French competition.
and which 20 far as Canada is con-
cerned Is enjoying free trade. Under
such IefilcUs conditions should not
the balloon be liable to duty as an
import from Canada? The govern
ment authorities have given this new
threat careful consideration and have
under the bond already given and does
not need another.

THE KING BUSINESS DECLINES.

THE KING BUSINESS DECLINES.
The world has known little about the
affairs 81 Persia and cared even less.
Recent events have shown that the
western world has had no proper idea
OF the political aspirations and the
character Of the Persian people. The
little We have heard, including esti-
mates OF the enormous value of the
royal jewels. has suggested the con-
d!tion Of barbarians and ignorant
submission to the tyranny of the
crown and the ministers.
1t is a revelation of unexpected
character to learn that the subjects Of
the shah have succeeded in estab-
fishing measure Of popular govern
ment. They have organized an as
sembly and compelled the Grand Vizier
and the ministers Of state to attend
its sessions and thus recognize popular
self government. II is discovered. too.
that within few years the people
have developed commercially to a re-
markable degree.
The announcement that the jewels
left by the late shah are valued at
$60, 100000 indicates the low estate Of
the people before their awakening In
spite of the demand COR many Of the
products Of the country and the ef-
forts of Englishmen to build up
trade with Persia. they are poor as
a whole. That the shah might wear
on occasion a ruby as big as a hens
egg; that he might sport a belt Of
which the diamonds weighed eighteen
pounds; that he might swell in

were forced to go hungry and suffer
the lack Of all educational advantages.
