The Full Crew Laws Cost.

According to figures compiled by special COM
mittee of railroad officials it costs the roads op-
Grating in the twenty-one states which have full
crew" laws the tidy sum Of 6,SO07 100 year to obey
those laws About twice many freight trains as
passenger trains carry the extra men required by
these laws Whenever 1t Is feasible they are with
drawn from duty as the trains roll across the Dor
der into state having full crew" law. And the
trains roll on Just the same.
1t may be that compelling these railroads TO fur
nish employment to a certain number of men whom
they consider unnecessary and useless and whose
worth has never been satisfactorily proved by the
advocates Of these laws is a good thing for the
public. Nevertheless manufacturer or merchant
considers 1t good thing for his business TO have
on his payroll men who do no real work. The rail
roads need the millions these extra men cost to
spend on extensions and betterments. Such expend
ture would benefit them and the public and the gen
era business world. 1t is a pity that fool law
making stands in the way.

Paying Off the Bad Debt of the Clayton
Bulwer Treaty.

We have been asked by several readers to explain
why the United States went 10 the expense of con-
structing the isthmian canal IT, according TO the
understanding of the negotiators of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty. we were to enjoy greater
concessions in the matter of tolls than were to be
given to other nations 1t is natural enough TO ask
such a question, which amounts to expression
of wonder that the United States should have
deliberately entered into what looks now like a one
sided bargain. The bargain made in the Clayton
Buwer and Hay-Pauncefote treaties was certainly
not a brilliant one for this country. Many Ameri-
can statesmen of consequence wanted to get rid of
the earlier compact by bluntly saying that it had
become invalid because of changed conditions. One
of our correspondents. Mr. Frank j. Shainmark, of
this city. suggests that the Hay Pauncefote treaty
should be got rid OF in the same manner, his con-
tention being: at is commonly known that treaties
concluded upon existing conditions and that II
these conditions change and 1t cannot be said
that the parties contracted in reference to the
changed conditions the treaty is by implication
abrogated."
very grave error was committed when the
Clayton Bulwer treaty was signed. II took Great
Britain into partnership In any transisthman canal
enterprise in which the United States might
gage. The government might have tried to escape
the consequences Of that blunder by welshing on
the treaty-that is. repudiating it automatically
abrogated. But we did not take that dshonorabe
method We endcavorcd to mitigate the embarrass-
ments OF the partnership agreement by engaging in
the Hay Pauncefote convention TO build the canal
ourselves and TO give British vessels and those
OF other nations the use of it on payment of the
same dues as should be imposed on American YES
sells That, at least, was the understanding OF
those who drew and signed the treaty.
II may seem astonishing 10 any one unfamiliar
with the diplomatic history Of the canal enterprise
that the United States should have put SiU,OOOOW
into II canal the use of which we could not abso-
lutcy control and regulate. But we did 1t IN -
piaion Of the blindness Of our diplomacy in the
past We paid bad debt with good money. IL Is,
however, no good argument against the payment

Fire Prevention Better Than Distinguishing

Statistics Of fire prevention inspection in March
Just reported to Commissioner Adamson prove the
wisdom of his plan Of having this work done by the
uniformed fire fighting force, well as special men
attached to the Bureau Of Fire Prevention In the
month the uniformed men made 10S,7l6 inspections,
which disclosed no for complaint In sooOS
cases Improper conditions were remeded imme'
diatey in 1889 cases Serious conditions were re-
ported to the bureau for action in $40 places, while
dangerous conditions were discovered in 40 build
ings.
Work so extensive and valuable could not posi-
bly, have been accomplished by the inspectors OF the
Fire Prevention Bureau alone. The uniformed fire
fighters cover much ground and discover small easily
remedied conditions which, neglected, cause large
proportion of the fires 1t is easily understood that
the 6remen on inspection duty should be welcomed
by property owners and business men. They are
filling their highest function, for the best fire force
is the one which prevents rather than extinguishes
fires.

matter. The first step was taken by Eng
land, in violation OF the Monroe Doctrine.
by Selling certain islands in the Gulf or
Mexico for the purpose OF controlling any
isthmian canal that might be built. In
the language of THE London Times's'
| own correspondent, this act aroused the
susceptibilities Of the United States 1t
created great irritation on this side. The
friction between the countries grew. But
the result was that England. by her au-
6acty, BLUM and bullying tactics. forced
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. by which she
pushed herself In as a partner with half
interest. This was resisted from the first
because il robbed the United States Of
that just and sole control which the patu-
raj situation gave her. Many efforts were
made to undo this treaty. The vigorous
attempts OF James G.. Blaine are well
known. IL was the subject OF moro than
one Presidential message. Presidents
Grant and Hayes put the question square
ly. Said the latter in his message OF 1850:
The United States cannot consent to the
surrender OF this control to any Euro
pean power; that such canal was virtu-
ally part OF the coastlIne OF the United
States" President Mckinley repeated
this sentiment even more emphatically.
and II was his efforts that got rid
OF this Objectionable treaty and re-
suited In the substitution of the pres
