 ed than though he plays the part of a
 yelled prophet. MT. Taft is going to
 send for newspaper men when he wants
 to see them; at other times their quesr
 tions are to be considered by his secre- tary. This is an entirely intelligent
 way of handling the situation, and one
 that accords with the necessary .eti- quette of the presidential office. With the increasing number of newspaper workers at the capital, both regular and occasional, and the enlarging duties of the presidency itself, more than this ought not to be expected. No recent president, except MT. Roosevelt, has re- ! ceived many newspaper men. AS a rule each president has opened his heart to those whom he had known somewhat intimately in an earlier stage of his career. This was the case with Harri- son and with Mckinley and with Cleve- land. In his last administration MT. Cleveland saw few newspaper men ex- cept those who had possessed the en. tree to the White House during his first term, the interval having diminished their number so as to accord essentially with his lessened opportunities and in cIination, since he experienced consid- erable change of attitude in many of these popularizilig respects in the years between his presidential terms. He was more easily wear.ed in his secold ad- ministration by successive callers and ceaseless importunities than he had been when more freshly undertaking the work Of the office. If MT. Taft will keep his secretaries intelligently sn- formed as to his policies the newspaper men will have no real cause to complain.

Strenuous Life Amid Savage Animals

 Besides some warlike men Mace donia contains an abundance of wild animals.

They are a serious drag upon indus try, and even in civilized Bulgaria 1t has lately been found necessary to in- crease the government rewards for killing them. believe it to be true story that a party of peasants with horses was not long ago wholly de- srroyed by wolves in the Mori Hovo mountains, nothing but the bits and stirrup irons being found to record them.

the basis of cost, the dues will of ne cessity be much heavier than the cost of moving freight across tho isthmus of Tehauntepec. Conservative estimates now place the cost of the canal at S350,- 000.00 and it will hardly occasion sur prise if this figure shall be increased to $500, 100000 before the great work is completed. It will, of course, require very heavy tolls to return even moder- ate rate of interest on the investment. Tn comparison with this vast sum, the Tehauntepec railroad, with its unequal ed terminal facilities, acres of steel freight houses, and more than fifty miles of sidetracks at terminals, repre- sents total cost of little more than S50,000,000. 1t is not yet two years since the road began operations, and it is only within the past six months that it has been in position to expedite business
 In the first eighteen months of its operation, however, it demonstrated It's possibilities by handling more than 5o0,tO tons of American freight. Since that time Pacific coast importers have not tnly largely increased their busi- ness with Atlantic trade cutters, but have ,llso begun importing direct from Europ,, receiving goods from the Old World by this route in much less time than by any other route now in exis- N-r11 i xyrifi frS h, coInpl, tion of this railroad and term nals, notes that 'the object which the goverr ment and the contractors have had before them has been to handle freight, at the lowest possible cost by preparing to do it on the largest scale practicable with modern machinery, and to attaln this object neither money nor labor has been spared
 It is, of course, idle to assume that the transcol,tinental railroads will re- tire from ths coast business by submit ting to the order of the Interstate Con- merce commission regarding Spokane, and making no corresponding change in rates tc coast terminals. The rail roads will undoubtedly continue to pro tect their coast business and handle a large and steadily increasing traffic. Meanwhile there will be large increase in the volume of business handled by the Tehauntepe: route, and that route, in the future, as in the past, will prevent any advance in the through rail rates, and will give coast terminals advan- tages frou. which nature has efcctually and perm ancntly barred interior cities.

THE HUMBLE CONSUMER
Conditions Under Which He Is Willing
 to Pay the Freight.

From the Providence Journal.
 Provided that the consumer could be made to feel that he would receive a square deal in respect of the schedules generally, the notion of revenue tax on tea or coffee or both would not dis tress him. Though the notion that he pays Few taxes, except what are re- turned 10 him, and more, by an increase in his material prosperity, has been sed- ulopsly cultivated in his mind for a generation, S switch to taxes which he might ''feel' would probably not be difficult, if it we're done fairly and tact fully. Internal revenus taxes are cheer fully approved and when it comes to the breakfast table the average Ameri- can is willing to consider his govern ment's necessities while satisfying his morning appetite. But while the tea and coffee schedules are under discus sion he will be reminded that the sugar tax is also a concern of the breakfast table-of the dinner and supper table, too, and of 'tween-meals of pie and cake and jam, besides. The sugar re- liners are dealt a blow on the wrist by the proposal to cut the sugar tax five oLe-hundredth of a cent pound This refers to the breakfast tables sugar above No. 16, Dutch standard in col orr The fact is that this sugar has ceased to be a revcnue-producer of any consequence. The imports last year were less than 7,ooo,C0o pounds; their value less than $40o,0o0. On the other hand exports have grown to more than 25,- 100000. The sugar trust is said to sell its product in a foreign market at a less price than the domestic consumer pays. At all events, the present sugar duty represents rate of 8 per cent this for protection, while yielding so little for revenue.
 As between paying tax for the sup port of their government and paying a tax to swell the profits of the sugar trust, an intelligent and patriotic peo- pie, on calm consideration, would not hesitate in their preference. To be re- quired to pay both, however, might strike them as hardship.

TEHAUNTEPEC AND PANAMA
New Railway Wiu Be Formidable Com
 petitor of Canal.

From the Portland Oregonian
 In view of the possibilities for read justment of trade routes, should the Spokane rate decision, prove detrimental to the interests of the Pacific Coast terminals, the present service over the Tehauntepec route becomes of excep- tional interest. This route is not only a very formidable competitor for the American railroads, but k also may re- main most important highway be- tween the Atlantic and the Pacific after the Panama canal shall be cNnpleted. For all ports in the North Pacific the Tehauntepec route offers a saving of 1900 miles in distance over the Panama route. This material difference in the length of the route, by saving in opsr- ating expenses of the steamers and in time, is sufficient to offset any disadvan- tage resulting from rehandling of freight.
