President Itoosevcll has started west riii ii (rip which will occupy ncurly three weeks, mid during which lie will cover fi,!;m mlhM. In addition (o his regular physician, hp la accom panied liy lr. Hichardson, 11 Wash inglnn ( liroa t specialist, who will n nder such aid us In necessary (o keep Ihe president's throiit In condi tion for (lie trying amount of piihlic speaking which la before him. It la confidently stilled, by those In n pnsl tloii to know, that tin; president will advance r new and startling ideas, no Innovations In pollllcul economy, lint will appeal to the peo ple mi the ground of u plain common sense anil tho magnificent record which tin' republican parly haa made in the past. Ho will warmly tidvo rate his policy of transferring the control of corporations from the sev eral states to the federal government Hiid will remind Ida hcarera that the winic objections now advanced against thla policy were advanced when the creation of the Interstate commerce coiiimi-aioi was first ad vocated. The ciaiditiiiiia which then governed the railroada, and which still prevail, have point) to govern the great industrial corporal ioiia ami the aame general supervision ly the federal millionth a that haa proved o salutary In the case of the railroada w ill prove equally ellleacinus in re gard to the corporal iona, or "trusts." Jle w ill present no new phaaea in hla representation of the Cnhan altuation lint will urge the people to uphold hia handa In hia efforts to secure, reciproeily for the new republic on the ground that, by ao doing, ho Is carrying to its fullillmeitt the policy of hia lamented predecessor mid is sustaining the honor of the nation. He will discuss freely mid frankly the turiir question and will prove to the people how chimerical and un sound are the arguments of those democrats who would reduce, the t nil IT ii n1 endanger the whole tinnneial fabric of the country for the purpose of retaliating on n few trusts which are taking advantage of their power to unwarrantably advance prices. On the other hand, he will declare that the parly is wedded to no partic ular tarilT schedule mid that, ns con ditions necessitate, it will modify such schedules as huveoutgrown their usefulness. He will easily demon strate thnt the welfare of the nation dtanands that such changes in the tarilT as it may become, necessary to make be made by the republican party which created it and which is caimbie of revising It, rather than by the democrats who uro avowed un believers in the protection of . Amer ican industries and maintenance of the high wages now received by American workmen. In addition to the president, Secre taries Hoot, (Shaw and Wilson have also gone west and will address audiences at various points. Secre tary Hoot, whose destination is l'eorlu, will take the occasion to pay a high tribute to !en. Wheaton, who makes his home there, and who was recently retired. Secretary Shaw will elucidate the policy of the u. !:;,;;-,; .Iiati, ,n frujn the ntuadpolnt of a business man. Secretary Wil son w ill tiddress a few audiences on political (piesliona but in the main he will confine himself to an explan ation of the practical benefits which bis department is accomplishing for the American farmers and outlines of the win k the department now has under way but the results of which will net be attained until some future date. Before leaving Wa-hington, Secretary Shaw Increase I by $111,001),- (i i i the di po.,iu of the government in the regularly appointed depositar ies in New York, thus obviating the shortage of currency at that point which has recently been made a factor in the slock market. As i'ii-!,t be expected from 1'rosideut ltoo-ewll's cabinet oliicers, the speeches which they contemplate making will be in no seno, strongly p Mti-an, but rather in accounting of t ieir slew a rd hiii :u; explanation o!

Kx-Npenker Heed lain Wash ington and consented to see n number of newspapermen on Kitiinlay but slated that, he had nothing new to Impart in regard to the action o his successor. lie seemed surprised nt the general unwillingness to accept the reasons for his net ion ndvanced by Oen. Henderson as the true cause of the step, nevertheless, then- was a pecu la r expression about Mr. Heed's eyes when he was asked if he did not believe that the fact, that the presi dent had failed to Invito the speaker to the important conference held ut week, had been largely Instrumental In precipitating his declination to again run for congress. .Mr. Reed's reply was, "I'm sure I cannot tell what den. Henderson's views on that subject were." Piscusslng the political situation generally, Mr. Heed said, after pre facing his remarks with the state ment that ho was out of politics, "They had better leave the tarilT alone. I believe the sentiment of the people of this country is deadly opposed to tarilT revision and If it Is not It certainty will be if the tariff Is revised. When asked if the position of the speaker would have any very serious effect on Ihe political situa tion, Mr. Heed said, nfter again staling that ho was too much out of politics to make forecasts, "I might y that soiiietinuHa great cimll igra- tlon may be Marled by a very little match." Attorney (leneral Knox is expected in Washington early next week and his return is ttnlicl paled with interest because It Is believed that he will bring with him the verdict on the title of thel'unanu canal company. His assistants at the -department of Justice assert that they have received no Intimation from their chief us to the natureof this verdict but surprise Is expressed at the brief stay which Mr. Knox has found It necessary to make In parts. Kither he has found some serious flaw which puts the question of a canal by that route be yond consideration, says Ids subor dinates, or he has found the title go simple and satisfactory that It has required almost no time for Investi gation. Evie Cab Servics Changed Tho new cab Horvioo of the Erie railroad whereby passengers are transferred direct from tho Btation in Jorsoy City to any part of New York at vory moderato rat.os, Is ho much of a popular success that tho present outfit has already booomo insufficient, and is to be supplement oil at onoe by a numbor of hansoms in keeping with the original equip ment. The convenience, economy and comfort of thus being seated nt onco in a first class vehicle in charge of a courteous driver, and taken with ordinary baggago wherever one wishes to go in Now York, are features which should not be over looked, especially by lodie travel ing aloue. Bo far as the individual passnngor is ooncomod this service relieves from the importunities of hicknien, solves tho cheap cab question, and practically abolishes tho ferry. High Price, for Cow. The prioesof milch cows in Orange and Sussex, says the (Sussex Inde pendent, is unprecedented. A car load recently sold averaged fS4 a head, aud another fiitt. It thinks the logical outcome will be high prices for land and that when it goes up it will be with a rush. Cows cannot be kept without acres. Apropos of tho above either a cream ery in this section or a railrjad here to afford an outlet for milk would materially increase the value of Pike county farms. There is more gold in the treas ury than ever before in the history of tho country and it is being added to da'ly at- the rufca of from :'00,000 to f:ioo,ooo.

They are beyond doubt the liest flesh food that mankind can cat, and as a coiiseipienco serve as food for all nations. Statistics show that those nations, like the Scotch nod South Sen Islanders, who eat fish as their chief flesh food anil avoid beef, am most exempt from tuberculosis and other dlschses and parasites that are conveyed to man by Infested licet. Years ago nearly ever stream in this state yielded fresh fish In abund ance for tho musses, and this formed a common element for food of the (vorklug man. Today most of the streams pro barren, and frenh fish Is a delicacy found upon the table of the wealthy man only. Fishing ns an Industry or for recreation Is stead ily declining. The reduction of our native llshes Is due to tho combined Inlluonco of their natural enemies and man, but tho effects of the latter are by far the most destructive In most ilaees. Among their natural enemies are Internal and external parasites, aquatic Insects, hags and lampreys, other fishes, water dogs or mud puppies, and other Amphibians, water snakes and turtles, certain aquatic and seml-aqtiatlc birds, such us herons, divers, loons, mergansers, kingfishers aud cspreps, and certain mammals, like the otter, mink, rac coon, muskrat, wild cat, etc. Tho Indirect effects of the actions of matalklnd have been by far more destructive to fish life than have the effects of hi i direct attacks upon tho finny trllie. The mere taking of fishes from tho water would not ex terminate tho race. "Among the agencies that are effiKitlng their wholesale destruction are tho follow ing: 1. The pollution of streams by poisonous waters from mines, factor ies, sewos, etc. 2. Dumping into water such material as sawdust, ashes, screenings, etc., that cover the fishes spawning beds and fill their gills. 8. Clearing awayjbrests and natural vegetation, which causes the water to ho warmer and shallower or less abundant end more intermittent In flow than formerly. 4. Draining swamps, which not only reduces the water supply, but ulso destroys the minute food material for the young fishes. 6. Clearing out streams and clearing away debris that furnishes natural places for their shade con cealment and reproduction. 6. Build ing canals aud Irrigating ditches and otherwise turning the water out of its natural channel. 7. Building dams, which prevent tho migrations of the auadromous fishes, like the salmon and the herring. 8. Wanton destruction In capturing fish, as by dynamite, and the accidental and cureless killing of great numbers of small Individuals when hauling nets. All these are causes over which mankind has control to some extent and their practical remedies are be ing sought and made known by our slate and United States fish commis sions, which deserve the strongest support of every citizen and all pos sible aid by legislators.

He was speaker of tho house of repre sentatives during tho Civil war, and has been known as the "father of the homestead law." He did far more than any other man to place this beneficent measure upon the statute books. One hundred years ago the gov ernor of New York advised his friends not to invest thoir money in railroads In the remote future, he thought, it might be possible to move a car on a track at the rate of five or six miles au hour. In 1901 Amorican railroada carried 607,278,- 121 passengers, and the tons of freight carried were 1,083,226,440. The Shah of Persia paid 11300 a da7 for his hotel accommodations in Paris.

Woman Suffrags in Australia Premier B irton of Anstralia, who is now sojourning in London, says, "The outlook for woman suffrage In Australia Is exoellent, for the sua- cess of the movement In four of the six states presages tho ultimate adoption of the plan throughout the whole oommon woilth. " Ho was formerly au opponent of the movement but seeing nono cf the predicted evils followed Its adoption, he became an advocate of the movement. Notwithstanding the Amoncan's vaunted civilisation and professel regard for womankind, the groat country named is likely to lead in suffrage reform. Comiug from the premier himself, this expression of its advancement is most significant, and prophetic ot its ultimate and in evitable adoption. Tho typical woman of the day is not satisfied with the servile state of her grand mothers in political affairs. She haa discovered that justice for her own sex cannot bo secured while it is voiceless in government. It seems that in spite of tho talk of the opposition of the Wall street Interests to the president and their dislike of his talks on the trust ques tion, New York decided that it was the proper thing to do to endorse Mr. Roosevelt and pledge him sup port for the presidential nuuiina tion.

It is claimed that the wood is far superior to that of the eastern tree, is suitable for all ordinary building work, furnishes good paper pulp, is sufficiently light and strong to make wooden ware stock, is particu larly valuable for in door finishing, and its bark half again as rich in tanniu as our hemlock. It is sug gested, that it may rank as a substi tute for sprnce and whito pino. "In dealing with a man rememl er that a spoonful of oil will go further than a gallon of vinegar."
