GovnitNon SHELDON of South Dakota did not rmmo delegates to the north ana south railway convention which moots in Lincoln on the 28th insf. All the same , there is likely to ho a largo rep resentation of the anti-monopolist citi zenship of the state in attendance. Gov ernor Sheldon is not ardently inclined to favor any scheme that might possibly interfere with the plans of the great railway combines in the state of South Dakota. Tun somi-annual reports of the execu tive departments of the state govern ment are required on July 1. In vlow of the fact it is pertinent to direct the attention of thoseofficials , to the follow ing provision of section 21 , article v , of r the constitution : "They shall not re ceive to their own use any foes , costs , interest upon public moneys in their hands or under their control , perqui sites of ofllco or other compensation , and i all foes that may hcrealtbr bo payable Ty law for services performed by an ofll- cor , provided for in this article of the constitution , shall bo paid in advance into the state treasury. " CARTEII HARRISON and other Chicago mandarins are now familiarizing them selves with the modern Aryan lan guages. His dusky nibs , the gaikwan of Baroda , the richest maharaja of India Is now onrouto to the World's fair , at tended by a suite of natives of high rank. The mayor's well known familiarity with the Sanskrit will stand him in good need In familiarizing him self with the seven Aryan vernaculars , but It may puzzle him to determine which of these prnkrlts is popular in oriental otiquotto. As the prince comes from tlio "Mahrat'ta " country , perhaps Mr. Harrison might gain a pointer by consulting with the late aspirant for Jim North's position before the genial captain takes his departure with his bride for his residence on the Yarra- Yarra. THE case of the state of Now York against the executors of the Jay Gould estate to compel them to pay 3750,000 to the state in pursuance of the provisions of the Inheritance tux law promises to become- noted case in the law reports on the subject of taxing inheritances. , It will .not , however , oomo into the court * before autumn. There will bo a hearing bo.'oro the appraiser appointed for the estate before it is brought before the surrogate on the pointa of law in- reivedMr. . Gould's executors claim that the $5,000,000 , , bequeathed to George Dould as "payment for services" is ox- Dmpt as a debt chargeable against the Dstato. This will be one of the points to be decided by the court. The Gould executers - ocutors have already paid in 9500,000 , their estimate of what the tax should bo , This was done to avoid the penalty of 10 per cent imposed under the law 11 the tax is not paid within the proscribed time. THE figures presented by Secretary Morton of the Agricultural department will bo disappointing to those who have - bollovod that the system of moat In spuction established by congress some thing over two years ago would have the tendency to Increase exports of those products to Germany and Franco. sor. Morton has no hesitancy in assorting that the experiment has boon a failure In so far as practical results are con sorned. The United States is sending 'teas pork to Germany now than she did before the inspection law wont lnt to ( floot. In the ton months ending April 1,1802 , , the exports of pork to Gorman > 11y amounted to 4,831,100 pounds , while foi the corresponding1 ten months ending April 1 , 1803 , the exports to the same country amounted to but 044,000 pounds Possibly this decline in the export of hog products may bo due to tha Jrigl ni-ioo of pork. rnor/r Ono of the Itttoit of the consular re ports Issued by the government contains u comprehensive report on the labor problem In Franco and what ha ? boon accomplished toward Its solution by co operation mid pront-.ihai'ing. The con sul who makes this report quotes a nonator of Franco iw saying tha . "profit- sharing and oo-oporatlon in industrial enterprise * are the two stars of hope in the Industrial horizon. " It cannot but bo interesting to American workingmen - mon , and perhaps also to American em ployers to know what has boon accora- pllshod by these agencies toward the Holutlon oftho labor problem in Franco , whore the subject has received the most serious and Intelligent study. According to his rouort cooperative societies have had a prodigious success In the short time that has passed slnco their definite adoption by workmen , and have had a marked effect In transform ing the economical conditions of labor. A great deal of valuable testimony is presented from leading statesmen , not only of Franco but of other European countries , as to the value of this system , of which it may bo observed that it has proved far more successful in European countries than in the United States. For reasons that it might not bo difficult to discover , co-oporativo undertakings have not fared well in this coun try , but It is by no moans to bo concluded that the conditions which have operated against their suc cess hero are permanent or that they may not in time bo overcome. The principle of profit-sharing has boon oven more successful abroad than cooperation tion , toward which it is regarded by the French as the first stop. It was first put Into practice in Franco half a cen tury ago by an employing painter named Loclairc , who established the principle on a firm basis , with great advantage to himself and his employes. Ho did not adopt it from philanthropic motives , but as a business matter. Ho said ho pre ferred making 100,000 , francs and shar ing half of it with his mon than to make 2o,000 francs and keep It all for himself. Ho found that he not only got larger profits under the operation of this system , but ho kept on good terms with his employes and got bettor obedience from them. Said this shrewd man of business : "When an architect asks mete to paint the buildings of some universal exposition or of some city hall , where hours and minutes are of importance , fool happy when giving the order , know ing that It will bo promptly executed , The architect knows that too , and consequently soquently my business prospers. " The example of Loclalro was followed by many other employers , and , al though in some cases there -was failure , not duo to any inherent , weakness in the principle , profit- sharing has continued to bo recognized and widely practiced in Franco as sound and safe system , promotlvo of the interests of both the employer and the employed. The report furnishes some highly interesting - toresting statistics regarding thogrowtl of co-oporativo societies in Europe. Ir Franco thorp are 1,100 such societies , with 000,00j | members. In England the corresponding associations number 1,510 , witua membership of over 900,000. The number of co-oporativo , societies in the Gorman empire in 1890 , variously dosig' natcd as loan , industrial , supply and building societies , was 5,930 , Such societies in one form or an other are. making progress in .Italy , they have taken a firm hold on th population of Switzerland , and they are fairly numerous in Belgium. Thus , thi idea , originating in Franco , has becomi widely extended in Europe , and'having boon found of great service to the Indus' trial interests there is every reason t expect that it will continue to expand As already observed , co-oporatlvo undertakings dortakings have not generally boon suc cessful in this country. It has not been found practicable to apply to them the regulations which have worked well abroad. But profit-sharing , on the other hand , has succeeded well hero , wherever the principle has been judiciously and fairly applied , and it could doubtless bo shown that a majority of those who have adopted the principle still adhere to it. At any rate there is reason to believe that a system which for half a century has worked so advantageously in Franco can bo made equally serviceable hero , and certainly as one means toward the solution of the labor problem it is worthy of the serious attention of all employers of labor on a large scale. Although the time may never come when the principle will bo generally adopted there are in dications that it is growing in favor. S.II..WOJV AXD SUNDAY CLUSIXO. People everywhere who appreciate canned salmon as a dietary edible are interested in the protection of this fish industry on the Columbia. It may sur prise them , however , to learn that the efficiency of the law established in Oregon gen for this profootlon depends , to some extent , on the abilities of the authorities to enforce thn observance of a Sunday ordinance , And they will not bo sur prised to learn that the efforts to enforce the Sunday closing season on the Col umbia promise to provq quite as inef fectual as might bo expected of any at tempt to prevent fishing on Sunday any where in this western country. Not withstanding the law , It appears that packers have been permitted to operate their traps on Sunday without molesta tion , and that they also purchase ille o gally caught fish from gill-net mon , thus offering a premium for the viola - tion of the law. Prosecutions have been made at the instigation of those who wore more intent on the enforcement of . the observance of Sunday than in the protect ion of the salmon industry. But these prosecutions in the past have boon - wholly of luckless and impecunious fishermen - ormon violating the law under the en couragement of the cannery men thorn- solves , The fish laws of Oregon and Washing ton are practically the same. A few Sundays ago an Oregon sheriff arrested several fishermen caught in the act of violating the section of the law prohibiting - . ing all fishing In the Columbia from 0 p. ox. Saturday to 0 p. in. Sunday. They mra citizens of Oregon , though their fi&Ung WAS douo on the Washington side of the river. Ho brought them before a justice of the poaoo in Astoria. Objection was made by defendants to the assumed jurisdiction. Dut the Justice hold that ho had jurisdiction of olTonsos committed on the Columbia , oven on the Washington side , under the grant of concurrent jurisdiction to the two states. Thereupon the defendants' attorneys appealed to the jury and , arrogating to themselves the functions of n supreme court to determine matters of law , they decided that the justice had no jurisdic tion. The incident is noteworthy , as illustrating the peculiar ideas that an Oregon jury may entertain as to their duties and authority , as well as indicat ing the popular indisposition every where to countenance- legal restrictions respecting the observance of the Sab bath. It is apparent that the fishing Industry should bo protected on the waters of the Columbia , but to enforce the pro visions of the laws of the states , that seem ample to Insure the chlof purpose for which they wore Intended , the fish protectors must seek a less summary process than through the pettifogging methods of a justice court. The slower , but more certain method of procedure would bo in a resort to the district or circuit courts of the respective states. K.IU.II Probably In no other respect has the west boon more grossly misrepresented than in the prevailing discussion of its farm mortgage indebtedness. The con stant assaults upon the credit and Integrity of the west comes from various "sources. The most flagrant cases of misrepresentation come , of course , from eastern mon who affect to bo alarmed over the largo sums of money annually sent to the west for Investment. But the eastern critics are not alone in their hostility to the prevailing system of de veloping western interests with eastern capital. Hero in the west the farm mortgage indebtedness is subject to the same misrepresentation. The only dif- forouco between the two is that the eastern ern- man misrepresents because ho de sires to keep eastern money at homo , while the western man mlsropro sents bccauso ho wishes to fur ther the interests of a political party which would hardly dare to carry out its extreme views in regard to finance , oven if successful in overturn ing the older parties. Fortunately , the figures are at hand to prove the falsity of the claims of both the eastern and western alarmists. The statistics collected by Edward Atkin son , under the auspices of the United States government , have boon published and they completely refute the assertions - tions that the western investments are based upon undesirable securities and that the mortgage indebtedness of the west is an evidence of the hopeless poverty of its people. Mr. Atkinson shows that in the representa tive states of Ohio , Michigan , Iowa , Kansas , Nebraska and Montana more than one-half of the farms are unencum bered by mortgage of any kind , while the mortgages already in existence amount to loss than one-half of the value of the land designated as the security. Further , ho shows that'6f the mort gaged indebtedness of the states named from . 88 to ever 00 per cent of the entire amount was incurred for real estate purchases and im provements , business and the pur- ehaso of personal property. Tn Ne braska the nercontago of farm indebted ness incurred by reason of purchase ranges from 93 to 98 per cent in the dif ferent counties. These figures prove more conclusively than arguments that western mortgages arc not only based upon ample security , but that they cover scarcely 50 per cent of the farming lands. They also prove that the west is far from being so pov erty stricken that her people have boon compel led to plunge into debt in order to relieve themselves from actual want. IN FAVOR UP HEOll'ItUCITr. The convention of the liberal party of Canada , hold this wcok at the capital of the Dominion , adopted as part of its platform a resolution strongly favoring reciprocity with the United States. It was declared that as the countries ad join , with many mutual interests , it is desirable that there should bo most friendly relations and broad and liberal trade intercourse between them , and that the interests alike of the Dominion and the empire would bo materi ally advanced by establishing such relations. The resolution sets forth that the pretext under- which the Dominion government appealed to the country in 1801 respecting negotiations for a treaty with the United States was misleading and dishonest , and that no sincere effort has been made to obtain a treaty. It is assorted that on the contrary the government , under the control of monopolies and uoniblnes , has no doslro to secure reciprocity , and that the first stop toward attaining the end In view is to place a party in power which is sincerely desirous of promoting a treaty on terms honorable to both coun tries. It is declared that a fair and liberal - oral reciprocity treaty would develop the great natural resources of Canada and enormously increase trade and commerce between the two coun tries , bojldos encouraging friendly rotations , between the two pee pie land removing many cause ; which In the past have provoked Irritation and trouble to the governments monts of both countries. The liberal party , it is declared , Is prepared tote enter into negotiation ? with a vlow tc obtaining such u treaty , including a well considered list of manufactured articles This clearly defines the position of the party in Canada , which Is honostl ) seeking to promote the material pros purity of that country by ostabliBhinf. moio Intimate commercial relation ; with the United States , and it is rathoi remarkable that it has not made groatoi popular progress. The assertion tha the Canadian government has novel made a sincere effort to obtain a reel ilia proolty treaty with this country I true. The people for years hav fo < boon tricked and deluded by prom Ises of reciprocity which n10 members of the government know couli not bo fulfilled. When a few years ag they proposed the revival of the eli treaty , terminated at the instance of ho United Strtos , they did BO with the fullest assurance hat the proposal would bo rojootcd.j The last tlmo the Dominion govornnujnt sent delegates \ Washington to open negotiations for n treaty they failed to accomplish any thing because they had nothlnpf now to offer worthy of our government's con sideration , and alsoft < p | the reason that they could not act Tj-tm authority. It was evident that the Canadian govern ment sent the commission simply for the purpose of ascertaining what this government plgt bo willing to do , and while they obtained some light In tllla respect the State department $ < } ry properly de clined to open negotiations with mon who had no authority to act. It would have boon a wholly useless waste of tlmo. The obvious fact is that the dominant party in Canada treats the reciprocity question as n mere political whip. It has not boon sincere and straightforward in the past and is not likely to bo so In the future. It Is under the influence , ns the liberal party charges , of the monopolies and combines. The liberal movement , which alms to promote the Interests of the farmers of the Dominion , Is appar ently making some progress , but it is still largely the minority party. There scorns little reason to doubt the success of the party In power at the general olootion for which preparation is now making , _ _ _ _ _ _ LKAllXIXa til- ' TUo European countries are showing a disposition to study moro closely than they have ever done before the institu tions of this country in which wo oxhiblt conditions of progress in advance of or differing from these of the old world. The World's fair OfTors a peculiarly favorable opportunity for thorough in quiry regarding educational , Industrial and other conditions in the United States , and before the gates finally close oil that great enterprise all of Europe will have made a bettor acquaintance with the United States than It ever had boforo. The fact has boon noted of a commission having boon sent from England to oxamlnotlie American system of public education , with a view to ascertaining if any of its features can bo adopted with advantage in England. It is proposed to introduce a new-school bill In the British Parliament and these who are interested in the measure-do sire to learn whether there is anything in connection with our system of public education , not already of general knowl edge , which it would bo desirable to in corporate in the measure. It is a par ticularly interesting' fact that the live members of the commission are women teachers in the London schools , nnd each of them "has been as signed a proscribed -district in this country. "Tho Nowa Sfark Sun states that Ono of' ' thorninecrvlco in and near that city has performed her duty thoroughly''and hag ) gathered a largo amount of useful information , knowl edge of a kind that cannot bo obtained from school roportsWr from books about our system of popular education. " These women have ribt onlj * had experience , but are said to have { singular capacity for the duties int uajed to them. That they will" find"Jnorb some things which ; can bo incorporated into the school sys tem of Great Britain to its advantage Is not to be doubted , but they will also probably discover that our sys tem Is yet very far from per fect. If they communicate , as they will do , with the best informed educators caters of the United States , they -will doubtless bo surprised to find a great di versity of opinion regarding the merits of our public school system , and it is quite possible that from some of these they may gain the impression that after all the boasted popular education of the United States is as a whole not superior to that of England , and especially to that of Germany. But they will acquire in formation , if they prosecute a thorough inquiry , that cannot fail to bo of benefit to them , and it is at any rate a compli ment to the country that such a commis sion is sent hero. Another example of European interest in American methods is supplied in the fact of the German govonnmont having appointed a commission of military en gineers to examine and report upon the railroad system of the United States , It is a very comprehensive investigation that this commission is authorized to make and If the commissioners carry out their instructions they will sound a considerable time in this country. Un questionably the railroad system of the United States Is the most complicated of any in the world , and while in the main it is doubtless equal to if not su perior to any other , thorough information mation regarding it is not to bo acquired In a week or a month. These commissions and any others that may como from abroad to look into the educational nnd practical systems of the American people , will bo oanllally welcomed and afforded every facility to thoroughly prosecute their investiga tions. The United States ask the enlightened - lightened word to came here this year and learn all It may wish to know re garding our moral , social and material conditions , ooniidontv.thnt the results of such Inquiries cannb 'fail ' to bo bo no ft- iclal to all mankind , 1j , ( - WITH the death 'of iland Stanford , president of the Q/n / al Paolfio rail road , comes tlio ottlcial announcement - that $ ( ) ' ' the some $2,000,0 | 'Ujio govern ment from that company on January 1 , 1805 , will not bo pallUowing to the un satisfactory condlttfjpj gf Its finances.

Ho does not think "tho } benefit a country in general or do rnuol - good to Industry or commerce. In an interview with the correspondent of the Now York Tribune the great statesman remarked that the people who profit by exhibitions are. the people concerned in the kooplng of inns and In getting money out of travelers , hardly anybody oleo. The enthusiasm about exhibitions seemed to him factitious , except so far as it was sentimental. IIo Bald ho had no curiosity whatever to see the Chicago exposition. The vlows of Bismarck on any subject that ho will consent to speak About are Interesting and worthy of most respect ful consideration , but It is doubtful If n great many will agree with his opinion BO far as It applies to the Columbian ox- position. Yet is It not probable that ho is more that half right in Implying that the great exhibition will bo 'chiefly beneficial to the po'oplowho have no con nection with the commerce and Industry of the United Stales ? A wonderful ob ject lesson in human progress and achievement it unquestionably is , but It may well bo doubted whether It will repay to the Industry and commerce of the country what It has cost. Tnnius are several Interesting points connected with a decision just rendered by the commissioner of the general land office , with the approval of Secretary Smith , confirming the right of the state of Idaho to preference In making selec tions of land for sixty days after the fil ing of the township plats. Idaho was not granted any lands under the act of February 22 , 1880 , admitting Washing ton , Montana and the Dakotas. Idaho's land grant was made In its own ad mission act July 31890. , . In on act passed March 3,1893 , , a clause was in serted making Idaho one of the states similarly entitled to preference with the above mentioned states in making selec tions. It gives each of those states "proforonco right ever any pocson or corporation to select land subject to entry by said states granted to said states by the act of congress approved February 22 , 1889 , for a period of sixty days after lands have boon surveyed and duly declared to bo subject to selection and entry under the general laws of the United States. And provided further , that such preference right shall not accrue against bona fide homestead or pro-omptlon settlers on any of said lands at the date of filing of the plat of survey of any township in any local land office of said states. " The matter came before the Interior depart ment and the secretary was inclined to rule that , as Idaho had no lands granted under the act of February 22 , 1890 , it could not bo admitted to share the rule of preference provided in the act of March of this yoar. However , after a long controversy the secretary's final de cision is given , which gives Idaho this important advantage In the selection of lands. This decision says that while the act mentioned makes no grant of lands to Idaho , "it was evidently the intention of congress to give the same preference right to Idaho to make selections under the act providing or its admission as a state into the union , approved July 3 , 1890 , as Is given o the other states mentioned , and the aw is , therefore , so construed. " The ommissionor further says , in a circular addressed to the local laud offices , that luring the sixty days no one shall bo > crmittcd to file on lands subject to so- ootions by the states except those vhoso jclaims rest upon actual settle ment and corporations holding grants rom congress. Those claiming to have made boua fide settlement shall bo al- owed to file upon making a satisfactory bowing , and the state will bo required to contest such entries if it claims that are not in accordance with Jaw. DURING the next three yearn or more , he public will soliciously follow the three expeditions that within a few months will engage in the race for the north polo. The ono under Dr. Nanscn , famous Norwegian , has already started. Ho is sailing with now ideas on the most practicable methods of reaching the goal. Ho believes the ves sel in which ho is fitted out is ono that cannot be crushed in a moving field of ice. Ho will allow It to become thus .mbeddcd , and his theory is that ho will jy this motive power bo carried slowly but surely to his objective point. Liou- tonaut Peary , the most successful of modern Arctic explorers , who is almost r6ady to sail , will , after leaving his ves sel at the most northern part of Green land yet reached , travel overland to the same point of destination. Mr. Freder ick G. Jackson , a plucky wealthy Eng lishman , who heads the third expedi tion , will try to make the northern point of Franz-Josef land and undertake to complete the run to the polo with sledges and boats which will bo carried overland ; The progress of each of those expeditions will bo awaited with hope ful Interest , Even If neither of them should attain its object of ambition the discoveries of each will doubtless ylold important knowledge in the domain of geographical science. Tin : decision of the United States dis trict court at Seattle , Wash , , in the Puvallup reservation case , must , if sus tained , definitely Nettle the authority of the government ever lands allotted to Indians. It will.bo . remembered that those Indians wore building a railroad ever their own farms on this reserva tion. At the instigation of the North ern Pacific , it is charged , the military interfered to prevent the construction of the road. Thereupon the contractor , at the expressed desire of the Indians , secured an injunction to prevent this Interference. Application was made to dissolve the Injunction , but the United States district court sustains it , and declares that the government has lost entirely the power to control the use of the lunus allotted to the Puyallup In dians at Tacoma. CONQRIZSSMAN WALKER of Massachu setts In his address at the World's fair of bankers and financiers earnestly ad vocated the repeal of the silver pur chase act and the passage of his banking bill , reported at the last congress. This bill provides that national bonks shall keep their reserves In specie , of whicl at least one-half shall bo gold , and thai they may then issue notoi equal to the average reserve hold for any consoou' tlvo six months in the previous year , Ho would also provide for current re demption of govormiont legal tenders. This , Mr. Walker claims , would fully moot the demand for an elastic , abund ant and safe currency , 8ttfATOn Kansas City Journnti 'ihoro have few won H od in nv nun of the world to whom rloltcj onrao so nbundnnlty , find still fewer who hnvn used their fortune to such noble ends.
