Going It Blindly. ""B VIH VOTB of 22.". to .!:. by B which the lower house of JL. coiiRi'csH on Wednesday pasbed the Jlepbuin eunul bill needs to be understood n an expres sion of the general public opinion fav orable to a trunslsthmlan canal rather than an example of Intelligent lawmaking-. There has been mj much hacking- and hauling on the subject that congress doubtless thought it would use the goad, and It did to blindly. The Hepburn bill In detail Is ridicu lous. It authorizes the president to acquire fioin Costa Wca and Nicara gua, for and In behalf of the United States, conttol of such portion of ter ritory as may be necessary on which to excavate, construct and protect a canal of such depth and capacity as will be sulllclent for the movements of ships of the greatest tonnage and draft now In use, and gives him blanket authority to pay whatever price Is necessary. Then It puts Into the hands of tho president unil secretary of win all details of the construction of the canal, giving them $10,000,000 to begin with and authorizing contracts and expenditures not to exceed JHO.000,000. We caJl this bill ildlculous, for three reasons. First, It proposes, offhand and without any preliminaries, to vio late a solemn treaty between this gov ernment and Great Britain In which we are pledged not to do, without Eng land's consent, the very thing which the Hepburn bill proposes to Jo; second, It bluntly Ignores tho obligations we are under to foreign nations In general, of whom we have asked open door pledges nnd equal rights In public waterways, but to whom we nn now to shut the proposed canal except on terms) of disci imlnation; nnd third, be cause tho last congress appointed a commission to Investigate thoroughly the whole problem of actual canal con struction In i elation to time, place and cost, nnd common sense ns well as common courtesy would require that this commission be given time to re port before congress rushes Into a lot of costly contracts, the effect of which no man can foresee. A fourth reason could be added In tho fnct that If the United States should finally want to purchase land of Costa Itlca nnd Nic aragua the way to get It for a fair price would not he (list to publish to the world the fact that we want and proiiosc to get It regardless of prlc. There is a right way and a wrong way to go at Uils canal problem and the wrong way Is a good way to let alone. A bill to add $1,900,000 to the salaries of public school teachers in Greater Now York, which Mayor Van Wyck vetoed, has been passed by the Re publican legislature nnd approved by Governor- Roosevelt. Tammany would rooner spend the money where there are more votes. The Progress of Expansion. THE GROWTH in exportation of manufactures continues to bo the most striking fea ture of the marvelous ex port trade of the United States, which In the nine months ending with March, 390O, according to a bulletin just is sued by the treasury bureau of statis tics, reached the unprecedented sum of J1,033,S20,CS0, and thus promises to bo fully $1,300,000,000 in the fiscal year which ends-two months hence. Of this largo exportation more than .10 per cent waa manufactures, against 26 per cent. In the corresponding t months of tho fiscal year 1899 and 23 per cent during the some months of the fiscal year 189S. For the month of March alone tho exports of manufac tures amounted to $14,767,139, -which Is far greater than tho total for any pre ceding month In our history, that of .March, 1899, being $36,109,231; March, 1898, $28,214,510; March, 1897, $25,874,469, nnd for March, 1896, $19,125,725, the ox ports of manufactures in March, 1900, being thus more than double thoso of March, 1896, only four years earlier. For tho nine months ending with March, 1900, the exports of manufac tures wero $313,278,668, against $163, 157,935 Xor tho nine mouths ending with March, 189C, the total for the entire period having thus nearly doubled In that time. For the full fiscal year It now seems probable that the total ex ports of manufactures will consider ably exceed $100,000,000, while the total for the fiscal year 1899 was $33S,67r.,5r.Sj for 1897, $277,285,391, and for 1893 but $183,593,743. This Increase Is foupd In almost ev ery Important lino of manufactures. Kcli'iitlllc liiHtiumentA show an In crease In the nine months In question of from $3,071,73S to $1,730,174; fibre manufactures Incicased from $1,901, IfiS to $3,019,937, chemicals, from $7,939, riS to $9,074,760; parnlilnc, from $3,030, 673 to $6.S7t.C5.!; agricultural Imple ments, from $6,632,533 to $9,663,787; leather and manufactures of, from $17, O0S.S9G to $20,723,432; copper, from $26, C44.937 to $10,593,399, and Iron nnd steel from $67,212,003 to $S6,912,155. Thus Iron nnd steel, despite the enormouw ad vance In price nnd despite the predic tion made when the Increase began that this advance In price would re duce exportntlons, continue to head the list of manufactures exported inl will surpass by more than 20 million dollnr.i the enormous figures of Inst year nnd show a total considerably gi eater than 100 million dollars for the year's export trade in thar single lino of manufacture. Intelligent study of these figures and of the table of export growth In an other column will explain why expan sion has suddenly become the central Issue of American politics and why, ns usual, the Republican party Is on tho side of progress. When man's achievements will cause the camera fiends to follow- him with snap-shot Intentions, there can be no question of his greatness. Defects of American Maimers. ONE WHO is described as "A Foreigner" Is contributing to tho New York Sun a. number of entertaining views on American life, more especially minute details In which It differs from tho life of the people In European cities. The time was when Americans resent ed the.e comments by foreigners, es pecially if they were uncomplimen tary, but the nation has outgrown that lurloil. The Sun correspondent draws as his first indictment the lrregulailty with which Amet leans eat. "I make no doubt," ays be, "that nil American doctors would agree with their Euro pean colleagues that regularity In the mode of life .Is one of the most es sential safeguards against Illness, and should be observed by strong and weak, by man, woman and child. Hut what do T witness here? I meet peo ple at hotels for their breakfast at S, and the next day the same faces ap pear an hour, or even two later. Tho same occurs at luncheon nnd at din ner. A man of my acquaintance told me; 'Sometimes I lunch, sometimes I don't.' The same man tells mo that many of his friends vary their hours of food just exactly as business com pels or their theatergoing ladles de sire. Not so with the working classes nnd see how robust they are. It stands to teason that Irregularity of life must bring about Ii regular diges tion which opens the door to 'dyspep sia.' " This criticism Is certainly well founded ro far as It affects frequen ters of restaurants and hotels. It might be supplemented with a few re ma! ks about the exceptional waste In tho conventional American method of serving food at these public places of refreshment. The second exception taken by the foreign ciitio relates to what he calls "the vice of Ice." "Never In my life long experience," says he. "have I wit nessed a more Insane habit than that of drinking Iced water with every meal and drinking It In such unbounded quantities. Mark please, that I do not quarrel with the water, but only with the Ice put Into It; water at natural temperature at meals, although Dr. Schwenlger condemns It, I do not ob ject to, and often enjoy. WhatNl wit ness hero Is that every waiter on serv ing a meul, first puts a glass of water before you, which contains largo lumps of Ice; tho people sip a llttlei or drlnlc half of it and bang comes the waiter nnd fills the glass up again. I have ac tually observed people who during a meal have disposed of three tumbler fuls, tho wniter alternately Hilling up with Ice or water. AVe all know that the primary element which keeps us alive Is warmth; wo therefore mako It a custom and a very needful cus tom It is, of partaking nt least twice a day of warm food. Why then put upon your stomach the needless trouble of correcting a glacial liquid which we pour down our throats In large quantities?" Tho question Is embarrassing. But It Is no doubt the fore lunner of many others of the same class as the Sun contilbutor's series of criticisms pro ceeds. As It passed tho senate the naval appropriation bill carries a total of $63,128,616, nn increaso of $2,241,000 over the house bill and $13,028,657 more than the naval bill of last year. The senate bill preserves the features of the house bill relating to new ships and author izes the purchase of five Holland sub marine torpedo boats at $175,000 apiece. It provides for the purchase of armor at $345 a ton for the three battleships Maine, Ohio and Missouri now await ing It, but stipulates that future con tracts must be at $445 a ton else Undo Sam will go into tho business of mak ing his own armor. Inasmuch as the differences in conference will relate wholly to minor details, tho country can now congratulate Itself that so long a strido forward Imb been made in American nuval development. The Lebanon Report wants to know why The Tribune no highly esteems Charles Emory Smith. For one leasou we could glvo a thousand because Mr. Smith In political discussion has always bpen n gentleman; becauso ho does not preach one thing and practice nnother; because ho Is a man whom tho longer you know tho more you re spect. Wo do not think that tho word humbug has ever been formed on tho lips of any man whoso mind was con templating Intelligently tho present accomplished postmaster general. The THE SHAH 11 ., i aaaaaaH I M L'-M' 1 Cv i w y . . Muzzafcr ed-Din. Shah of Persia, Is on his way to the Paris Exposition where those who recall the former glittering progress of Persia's ruler through the Occident aro pre paring for the most gorgeous pageantry on record. The Shah travels in a style of un equalcd splendor and wears all his diamonds, which are worth a king's ransom, wherever he goes. The political significance of the Shah's European trip Is very great. Russia and England wilt vie with each other to do him honor, for his friendship or his enmity defends the safety of the Indian Empire. Report has facilities of Its own for ascertaining whether as much can nl3o be said truthfully of foimcr Postmas ter General Wananuker. In his letter of censure to Captain Chndwlclc Secretary Long Indirectly accused him of having been responsi ble for the publication In a magazine nrtlcle of certain olllclal dispatches. The magazine referred to was lie Ciu re's, and the publisher of it as serts In writing that Captain Chad wlcl; know absolutely nothing of the article until he saw it in print nnd then tried to stop its circulation but was too lute. Secretary Long should inquire into this matter nnd if he has been imposed upon a second letter to Captain Chadwlck will be In order. At the close of tho last fiscal year there were 2,617 railway mail routes, of a total length of 176,726.03 miles, over which the mall cars traveled that year 287,ri91,269.2t miles. Tho govern ment paid for the railway postollice cars $4,173,724.86, and for the ti aspor tation of the mails $31,ni2,ir,0.SS, or a total to the railroads of $36,117,873.71, which was an average of 121-; cents per mile for transportation and postal cars combined, or V,i .cents a mile for the cars alone. It is clear that on such a volume of patronage Uncle Sam Is entitled to a cheaper rate. In Marcln of last year collections at the port of Havana were less than $900,000. In March. 1900. they wero over $1,000,000. These figures show a prog ress In business development in Cuba not to bo misunderstood. Tlic American Medical association Is urging congress to pass a law making uniform regulation throughout tho states of the practice of medicine. State regulation ns at present Is good enough.
