An English journalist has recently
made a flying trip to America, spending
thirty-six hours in this country, about
which he will now write with the knowl-
edge born of experience. He must be
trying to emulate Poultney Bigelow in
his noted thirty.six hours in Panama.
II is to be hoped that the amount of
misinformation he succeeds in acquiring
will not be so bad as the chunk that
Poultney handed out on his return.

TO the Objectionable schedules AS nearly all

Why "nearly" all the schedules?
There isn't doubt that every schedule
of the present tariff, or any other tariff
that could be devised, is Objectionable

A peculiar case in the town of North
port has recently attracted attention. A
Chicago millionaire who owned the most
extensive summer property in the town,
valued at about $4,000, wished to have
some changes made. He owned a strip
between the water front and the highway
which was narrow, and had enlarged his
estate by buying considerable on the
other side of the road. He asked to
have the road location changed so that
ii might go around his holdings, and
leave them in one solid block. This
would lsngthen the road about half a
mile. His offer was TO pay all land
damage, build a strip of macadamized
road, and keep IL in repair for ten years.
The request was opposed by residents
on general principles, and the county
commissioners declined to change the
location. Thereupon he declares that
the coming season will be his last at
Northport, that his property is for sale,
and failing TO make q satisfactory sale
he will tear down his buildings. In some
respects his offer looks like good one,
but the general principles on which it
was opposed may have been sufficient to
justify its rejection. On the other hand,
In his present attitude he is without
question dictatorial and petulant.

there is any possible way by which the
case could be brought within the juris-

truth is that the whole talk is blu II to
delay action until after the legislature is
in session, when the counties hope TO be
relieved of paying these bills. But the
amount of these bills will be pretty

In these days when the tendency is to
reduce the length of the working day, it
is almost surprising TO learn of an in-
stance where an increase is to be made.
That is, it would be surprising If the
people affected, about $4,000 of them,
were not government employees in Wash
ington, aud the increase only from six
and half to seven hours a day. They
will not receive any profound coincidence
in their misfortune.

Plans are now said to be complete for
the longest tunnel in the world, from
New York to Chicago. At first thought
it may not seem that there is any neces-

between those cities, but it should be
explained that the tunnel is only one
large enough to carry telephone and
telegraph wires and pneumatic tube
for transmission of express packages.
