Panama is the latest foreign country

one has dealings with the American par

partment will carry for strangers pack
ages weighing up 10 eleven pounds for i
cents a pound, while It charges an Amerl-
can IS cents a pound and will not allow
him to mail a package weighing more
than four pounds This extraordinary
discrimination against American citizens
has existed since 1899. when the first for
eign parcels post cOnventiOn-that win
Germany-was negotiated. Yet Congress
has obstinately neglected TO put the
American merchant and the American
consumer on an equality with the for
eign merchant and consumer. IL has
cOuntenanced the development Of
highly important branch Of the postal
service. but only for the use Of aliens. II
Is kinder 10 the outer world than 10 those

approved conceptions Of patriotism and

"FIGHTYNG" MURPHY BETWEEN
CAMPAIGNS.

NO need Of New York is so great as
"the need of beating Tammany and de-
'throning the arrogant and ruthless
s'boss." SAYS THE New York World
Then why is The World" helping
Murphy to win? Its attacks on the
fusion ticket can have only one erect
So far as it's influence extends they VIII
contribute 10 Murphy's success, not only
in the county. but in respect to the
Legislature; for It is not possible 70
weaken fusion's county candidates ana
strengthen its legislative candidates
THE World" says that the greatest
need is 10 defeat Tammany and Murphy
but IT acts as IL 1t thought the greatest
need was to defeat the fusion ticket.
It Is such opposition 10 Murphy as this
that is responsible for Murphy's con-
stantly growing power IN the Demo
cratic party and in the state. IL is
characteristic Of a large part OF the So
called independent Democracy and OF
the organs representing its views. 1t IS
loud between campaigns. 1t is full or
threats when Murphy has no candidates
running. 1t Is always talking OF ire
volts" that never materialize at the
polls. Ii exhibits its outraged moral
sense 10 the community from the first
of January 10 about the first Of October
every year. But when the nominations
are made 1t always finds satisfactory
reasons" why 1t should not support the
anti-Murphy candidates.
This sort Of opposition helped Murphy
70 regain his prestige by victory in the
city and then it helped him 70 enhance
his prestige by a victory In the state
Murphy is stronger because Of its exist
ence. He can usually point triumphant
" to the fact that those who are loud
est in their opposition 70 him nine
months Of the year are back in the fold
supporting his ticket, or at the very least
shifting cOnscienuOusly at the opposition
ticket The Ostentatiously good are
either with him during campaigns or at
least they are against his enemies. They
furnish q certificate Of character for
him and his ticket. Some of them at
least are at ii again now. If they mis-
lead the public as much this year by op-
posing fusion as they did last year by
supporting Dix. Murphy will elect his
Assemblymen and put through his ripper
charter.

PENSIONS.

The report OF the Commissioner Of
Pensions for the fiscal year 1901
shows a net loss IN pensioners Of 2s,9s5
and a shrtnkage Of the roll 20 s92.O9S,
the smallest total since 1912. With
the cessation Of general pension legisla-
non the pension system is beginning 10
adjust itself 70 the normal pressure OF
longevity expectations. Up 70 1890 its
expansion represented the more moderate
ideas Of the generation which fought the
war as 20 the extent 10 which the vet
eran and those dependent upon him
should be compensated. After 1890. with
the passage Of the dependent pension act.
an era OF greater uberality set In. With
its larger resources the government was
held 10 he capable Of making q more
generous allowance 70 those who fought
for IL, and from 1890 to 1908 there was a
succession Of enactments the effect Of
which was 70 increase the country's an
nual pension outlay nearly 100 per cent
In 1SSS-s9 the cost Of pensions was $751;
100000. BY 10000 it had risen TO $751;
100000 The roll OF pensioners increased
IN the same period from $4,000 TO e46,-
GO, and In 1901-'02 It passed the 1000
600 mark for brief period.
II Is now more than forty-six years
since the close OF the war, and what was
once called the unknown army" Of pos
sible recruits 10 the pension list is almost
exhausted. The list reached its maxi
mum nine years ago, was nearly station
airy for seven years, and is now sharply
declining. The loss IN 1909-'10 was %,
II, and the annual loss from now on
will probably exceed 10000. Congress,
however. has kept expenditures at the
Top notch by passing private pension
bills. so that with a shrinkage Of $4,000
IN the roll since 190s'O9 the decrease in
expenditures IN the last two years has
been less than 100000.
There viii be a much greater decrease
in the next FIVE years If the present
system. entirely adequate in its scope, is
left undisturbed. OF course, as the gov
ernments outlay diminishes there will
always be politicians IN Congress 20 agi-
tate for q maintenance OF the present
rate Of expenditure, and even for legisla.
ton which would force that rate still
higher in the next two decades. An in
defensible biz, saddllng the government
with an extra outlay Of about S40,OOO,OOO
a year, passed the House Of Representa-
tives IN the last Congress and came near
passing the Senate The present House
is being urged 10 sanction that increase,
which would be totally repugnant to its

PATENTS AND THE ANTITRUST
LAW.

The two recent antitrust decisions
will do much 10 stop the abuse Of patent
rights. IN the electric light case the
court directed the defendants 10 cease
using the monopoly which they possess
under the patent upon one kind Of lamp
70 effect q monopoly Of another kind Of
lamp which was unpstented, and il ruled
that q monopoly under a patent over
part Of an article could not be extended
10 a monopoly over the whole article.
The decision against the "bsthtub
trust" covered somewhat similar ground.
A monopoly was created in this case APP
parently through the exclusive right
which the trust had under license
from a pateutee 70 use a certain patented
tool in the enameling Of hathtubs. The
court here confined the legal monopoly
strictly 10 IT'S scope and held that the
greater monopoly founded upon il was in
restraint Of trade A patent It said,
does not give 10 the patentee the right
go sell induIgences to violate the law Of
the land be IL the Sherman or another
Tie holder OF II. the court said. may not
restrain trade or attempt 10 monOpOliZe
1T in anything except that which is Gov
erred by his patent A monopoly Of a
tool used in the manufacture Of bath
tubs is a monopoly Of that tool and moth
ing else IF fl Is employed so as to effect
a monopoly Of the bathtub manufactured
by IT'S aid. the latter monopoly is against
the law, despite the fact that the makers
Of the tub possess exclusive rights TO an
instrument essential TO their manufact-
ure.
These decisions appear to he Of far
reaching importance. for many monOpo-
lies exist because Of some patent not
upon the article monopolized but upon
some essential part OF IL, some improve
ment" IN it OF some instrument used in
making It, The mOnopolies granted
through patents are so susceptible of
abuse. and have been so abused, that it
is well TO have the courts restrict their
scOpe.

GERHANT'S STAKE IN THE WAR.
The intense and direct interest of Ger
many in the war is unmistakable. II has
been recognized on all hands from the
outset. and the empire has been looked 10
as the one power which should act as a
mediator if any was 70 do so Nor has
Germany herself failed 70 acknowledge
the fact Government and press have
both manifested acute recognition OF IL,
and while the former has automatically
hesitated 10 declare TO the world its i'm
patience and annoyance with Italy for
bringing about such a conflict Whether
In that it expresses the sentiments Of
the government is not clear but IL does
seem probable either that the German
government is playing an uncommonly
asrute and farreaching game or that IL
has been much annoyed and its interests
have been teoparded by the prectpitate
action of its junior ally.
Germany has been supposed to have
important designs in the Mediterranean.
She has sought 10 keep for herself an
open II not a specially privileged door in
Morocco, east as well as west and south
Of the Pillars OF Hercules, and she is de
veloping enormous interests in Asia Minor
and Mesopotamia. For her own protec-
ton and welfare, therefore IN Morocco
she should preserve the friendship Of the
Moslem world. and In the Leyant she
must retain the confidence and favor Of
Turkey. Also TO maintain the balance
OF military power, while her own fleet
guards the Baltic and North seas, she
must look 10 her allies. Italy and Aus
tria-Hungary, 10 guard the Mediter-
ranean. Therefore she must stand well
with both Turkey and Italy. But how,
when they are at war? Italy thinks that
her partner in the Triple Alliance should
stand by her. and Turkey thinks that her
best friend should take her part. On
the face Of IL German policy and plans
IN the Mediterranean would seem 10 have
suffered a serious If not a fatal blow.
On the other hand, the diplomacy Of
the Wilhelmstrasse may have in view far
more important ends than these. The
fate Of Tripoli q = the relations Of Italy
and Turkey may perhaps be negligible
