Lost, Strayed or Stolen

Last Thursday evening", Jens. p.
Wilson purchased a clothing basket
and left it outside while he went to
another store for few minutes but
upon his return he observed that
his basket was gone. He called out
the marshal who had about dozen
deputies and made diligent search
for it when someone happened to
look In the stairway leading over
the First National Bank and found
it. OF course we will admit that it
would be nice place to leave it for
when the etork comes to town the
basket would come very handy, but
Jens concluded he had use for it
and went on his way home rejoicing
Mrs. John Peternan and dauph-
ter, Ruth went to Brayton Friday

Mike Smith and family, returning

NEW ENGLAND'S MONOPOLY.

Mr.. Mellen in his statement to the
public presents arguments for unified
system Of transportation in New Eng
land which doubtless have had large
effect in causing New England to look
on without much objection while he
was building up great combination
of facilities. New England ports are
at q disadvantage compared with New
York and other ports to the south.
They are not the natural outlets Of a
great country lying to the west Mr..
Mellen says: New EnclandS railroad
system must therefore forever fight
lin the railroad world for its exist
"ence and the existence Of Industrial
New England" and to fight effect
lively II must. he argues. he big and
powerful. New England has probably
felt this to he true. inasmuch as it has
permitted Mr.. Mellen TO have his way.
1t now sees. or thinks ii sees. the
power OF the united system operating
against New England's interests. 1t
tiiIhS llItll iut lilOIIODplH - NiilN -
checking a railroad movement from
Canada which would put New England
on the continental transportation map
in the same way that New York and
ports to the south are on that map;
that is to say, by making its ports the
outlet Of a vast productive territory to
the west. in Canada. That is the eX-
PLANTATION of the sudden flaming up Of
New England's wrath against COM
bination toward which it has hitherto
been cOmplacent In union there is
strength--to keep the Canadian roads
out And though Mr.. Mellen's denial
that he personally had anything to do
with the stopping of work on the
Grand Trunk extensions may he ac-
copied as true. It will be difficult to
persuade New England that the power
Of the New Haven monopoly, whose
growth it tolerated as q means of win
ming consideration for that section
from the other transportation inter
ests. Is not the chief factor in prevent
ing Canadian road from building 10
New England ports. IT hurts TO find
that what was supposed to be a help
to New England is turning out him
drance.

Railroad: and II it does not, that pro-
vision, too, must go by the board. a
third provision Is that these various
routes shall be open to the citizens ana
subjects of every other state when IS
willing to protect the routes; which Is
obviously annulled both by the vesting
of protection Of the canal solely In the
United States and also by the prescrlD-
ing of another and different condition
of equality il the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty.
What, then, is left Of Article VIII,
or of its general principle? Nothing
save this, that there is to be equality
OF treatment of all nations In the use
Of the canal; that equality being guar
anteed, however. not by two or many
nations but by the United States alone,
and the conditions and charges of traf-
fic also being justly and equitably pre-
scribed not by the two governments but
by this one alone. Such, in the last
analysis, are the relations between
these two treaties, and such are the
traces which are still left Of the Clay
ton Bulwer convention.
