A century ago American shipping registered for foreign trade was 669,921 tons, while | this tonnage now in the thirteen original States ts 10 482,907 tons.” Suct is stattling. The thirteen original | States the Union have now less ocean tonnage had a century ago, the whole Union has h more than the original thirteen had lic began its career. Our total ocea less than 990,000 gross tons; that of Gre Over 14,000,000 gross tons. the report show L that the truth appears on the face of the statistics Thus the report says that “ior serious | etition with foreign nations in the ocean carry- are practically restricted to ninety-seven registered steamehips of over 1000 tons, aggregating 260,320 tons. Single steamboat corporations in other Japan has eighty- three ocean steamships of over 2000 tons, aggregating 286,200 tone. Besides these steamships we have 123 2 en thar e com; ing trade we countries own greater tonnage. registered square-rigged sail vessels, over 1000 tons | each, for the deep sea trade. More than half of these are over twenty years old, and as such vessels disap- pear their places are not supplied by construction.” The causes of this defective condition of our mer- chant marine are mainly two—first, the cost of con- structing ships is higher with us than with any of ou* great competitors because of the higher rate of wages that prevails here; and second, because foreign ships receive liberal subsidies and bounties to aid them in the struggle for supremacy. It is shown in the report that a freight steamship carrying 5000 tons cargo costs in the United States $275.000, but can be con- structed in Great Britain for $214,000, notwithstanding the fact that steel is cheaper here than there. The difference is due to the difference in the wage rate and to the enormous amount of work British shipyards carry on. Should our ship-building indus- try be built up by proper legislation and our ocean marine be placed on an equal footing with the ships of competing natioms, we would soon develop plants that would be able to construct ships as cheaply as in any other part of the world, and that without re- ducing the wage rate in any respect. Protection was needed to give our steel industry a start. but now we produce steel at less cost than the British, while main- tzining the high rate of American wages. The same sesult would speedily be attained in the shipyards if the protective principle were applied to our ships on the high seas. Such is the lesson to be drawn from the report of the Commissioner of Navigation. The issue is one that Congress should no longer hesitate to deal with. It i= a foolish policy to pay to foreigners $200,000,000 aanually to carry our exports and imports for us, and it is high time a wiser policy were adopted. Third, S. F.

The London Chronicle, in describing the new sys- | tem, says: The nct e place of fort boards, and about 1% minor ties which are elther superseded or ab cils take over all the municipal cutting off the connection with still have their ves clesiastical matters--and will have a few dunts tran ferred from the County Council with powe their functions in new directions. The members of t councils will vary from thirty-fiv€ to seventy—exclusive of Mayor. There will be men in place of over 473 members of mn existin orbed k of th wor thorities. The nomenclature connected with vestr: disappears absolutely. Th will_be no more vest clerks, but town clerks. Vestry offices be renamed town halls, with municipal buildings. There will be | borough engineers, borough accountants, medical offi- cers, ete. It must not be supposed that the new act is in any way revolutionary. British conservatism was never | more strikingly shown than in the manner in which it has reconstructed the capital. Had Americans been set to work to redistrict the city for govern- ,nl(ntm purposes they would have abolished the old | medieval boundaries zltogether and made the variovs | boroughs about equal in size. The British, however, | kept as many of the old parish limits as they could, | and there are many inequalities among the boroughs. { They vary in population from 336,000 in Islington to 50,000 in Stoke Newington; in ratable value from 45,062,000 in Westminster City to £322,000 in Stoke Newington, and £464,000 in Bethnal-green; and in ! | area from 409 acres in Holborn to 9106 acres in Wandsworth. Another conservative trait is shown in the extent to which old-time laws are retained. Thus the Chron- icle says the government act “is one of the strangest examples of legislation on the statute-book, It is | legislation by reference-—a mere skeleton of a meas- ure, which has to be filled in by consulting many other acts; and for its working and the conduct of the elections innumerable acts, rules, orders and cases | have to be studied. Commissioners have been at work upon it ever since it was passed, and such com- missioners are still holding inquiries; and decisions about the system of collecting rates, the control of charities, and other matters, have yet to be given by the Privy Council.” It is predicted that a good many years will pass before the various boroughs become homogeneous and the scope of their authority under the County Council fully determined. Some of the boroughs are social- istic and have already under the old district boards establishéd a great many municipal institutions, such as electric lighting plants, bath-houses and markets; | while in others the people will not even esfablish a public library, and everything except government itself is left to individual enterprise. There is one thing further to be noted. When the elections were to be Leld to take charge of the city under the new charter there was found no difficulty in getting the foremost citizens to accept the .duties of the government. Just before the candidates of the various parties were named the Bishops of London and Rochester, and the heads of the dmrchu in the city, addressed the voters, saying: { “We hope that candidates will be selected solely | ! with 2 view to thurdememwom«cthemlafld moral welfare of the people. And we would ask those who have these objects at heart to be ready to make some sacrifice of their leisure for the pwrpose of furthering, in the way which meast be more effect- =al than effont for particular objects, the organized government of the community ” peop e appear to have acted in accord with the spirit of the address and London begins her new government with a display of civic patriotism that ses to overcome 2ail difficulties that may lie in mplexity of the problems that will have to be The burning of negroes by l)nchm has gone just about as far as this country can endure, and if the States do not devise some means of checking the barbarity the nation will have to take a hand, even if it require a2 constitutional amendment to enable Uncle Sam to do so.

The United States consular system should be reorganized r the supervision of this new department upon such a basis of appointment as will render it more ceable to the nation’s increasing trade.” There can be no valid objection to the creation of a Department of Commerce, and from the States no objection will be made; such a department partment of Mines. tries of the Union. almost every State. many millions of capital. Its output is increasing from year to year, and the methods by ch it is carried on are becoming more and more complex. Nevertheless the Government’s. relations with the in- dustry are scattered :hrough several departments and divided among many bureaus. It is impossible to adequately supervise and promote the industry so long as that condition prevails. The creation of a Department of Mines is therefore as important as that of a Department of Commerce. At the very least there should be a Mining Bureau having full charge | of all governmental dealings with the industry, and | the present is a good time for mining men to urge the reform with all the power at their command. expanding comr mining Mining is one of the great indus- It is carried on to some extent in wh One of the oddities of the recent election is that the | banner Republican township of the nation this yea- is Laurel Township, in North Carolina. for McKinley and not a single vote for Bryan, MR.

The pinnacle of the | steeple of Trinlty Church, New York City, | the Wilson-Gorman tariff President Cleveland | wrote an extraordinary letter to “My dear Catch- | | ings.” By reason’of that letter the Congressman from Mississippi attained a sudden eminence in poli- tics. He lived in the light of fame for a little while and then sank back into obscurity. He is still, how- ever, in the land of the living, and also in Congress. He has just made another rise to the light and has attracted some attention by reason of a programme he has put forward for the reformation, reorganization and redemption of the Democratic party. Mr. Catchings begins very properly by first telling the party what it must get rid of. He recognizes that | it would be useless to try to build anything in the way of salvation upon the fabric of the platforms adopted by the party at Chicago and at Kansas City. He says: “Drop free silver, drop fusionism, drop the cry of government by injunction, drop the cry of imperial- ism and militarism, drop all discussion about the Phil- ippines until peace has been restored, drop appeals to the passions and prejudices of the idle and discon- | tented.” ! While all those things are being dropped Bryan | could of course be quietly dropped also, and Mr. Catchings wisely leaves that to be inferred without | saying anything about it. | that particular drop to be made so gently that noth- .mg would be said nor anything heard—not even a ! soft sound like that of Dennis sliding to the mud. | When the party has been rid of those things Mr. Catchings would have it load up with others. He does | not suggest going forward to find new things, how- | ever, but advises returning and picking up some of the things the Bryanites threw over. Thus he says: “Revive the question of taxation; teach the Demo- cratic doctrine that people cannot te made rich by taxing them; assail the favoritism and wrongs of a high protective tariff; stand for the control of trusts and combines by methods not oppressive; demand en- | largement of the powers of the Interstate Commerce | Commission, and the liberal improvement of harbors, | and insist on local seli-government, and let the next Preudenml candidate remain at home during the campaign.” No one will deny that such advice is eminently re- spectable and conservative, but there is something droll about the idea of revwmx the fight agzmn protection. | Mr. Catchings is clearly still living in the mem- fory of the great days when a President of the United | States addressed him a letter of national importance. He would like to return to that time so full of dig- nity for him, and so indulges the belief that he can get the Democratic donkey to go with him. The in- cident is of interest as an illustration of the kind of leaders Democracy has, and what sort of men intel- ligent Democrats have to deal with in trying to re- form their party. -——E—wh-,_— The daring Russian explorers who believe thag they can cut their way in a ship through the ice to the North Pole gmbab!y do not share the general im- pression of the result in trying to cut out again Evidently he would like | ls 254 feet above the sidewalk.
