The war between Honduras and Nicaragua is of no great in terest to the outside, world. It has something to dowith'a boun dary line and that isabput all that anv one has gathered from it. But there have been threats of looting, prompted doubtless by interested governments abroad. and this government, in its role of elder brother to the republics 01 the bouth, is expected to : play policeman. It was reported that a promise had been given by, the mcaraguan government to turn over tne tirst importantcity cap tured in Honduras to loot and pillage by the soldiery. This was Bp-utterly,, at variance with the modern practice ; of civilized na tlons that minister Coree of Xi- caragua. hastened to the State Department to contradict it as soon as it was started. The ex planation of the storv was sim ple.- It miirht have come either from the one foreign government that is always looking for an ex cuse to land forces on South A- merican soil to see how far we will go in making good the Mon roe Doctrine. Or it . might have been circulated by any two or three continental powers having arge commercial interests in Hon durasj and wanting to. see the place well policed by the United States without the expense of do- jng it themselves There is rmlly no thought of serious complications following the Honduras-Nicaragua embro- glio. It is generally understood that aa soon as one side or the other wins anything like a deci sive victory, the good offices ot tnis country and Mexico will be offered, and that one or the oth er of them will be accepted. It is nought that-this country will manage to have Mexico selected as the arbitrator as it will re- ieve the monotony of American intervention somewhat, and will be equally if not more acceptable to the waring states and to the rest of South America. ' It will be good training for Mexico, and she is not likely to be accused of ulterior motives by any outside parties. : ' ; Anybody who : has spleen to vent on the . railroad world is hereby invited to walk up and vent it on Mr. Harriman. He appears to be having a hard time, and the world notoriously likes to kick a man when he is down. To be sure Mr. Harriman if he is '.down has many million dollars and several profitable railrbads'in his pocket. But the general idea seems to be that he is due for the fiercest prosecution the " government can frame up. Senator Cullofh on coming from the White House the other dav. said if there was a law capable of doing it, Mrt Harriman ought to oe put behind the bars for a term of yeaTs. Gov, Deneen unpuestion ably came to the White House at the invitation of the President to see what could be done by the state of Illinois in the way of a state prosecution of Hanimah for his looting pf the Alton. There are .two special,, attorneys lor the Interstate Commerce Com mission now working on the case of t,he Southern Pacific and the tlnion Pacific, and they willmak? ft report to the Interstate Com . merce Commission by whom it .':n ' t x ... . . .. w .nsmitrea- v the I.

The fact that Secretary Cortelyou has re fused to accept any more rail road bonds as security for bank circulation is thought to be a possible forerunner of action de mand ingthewithdrawal of bonds already so deposited. . The mere fact that Mr. Cortelybu has said he has no such intention is not received with the assurance such a positive statement would seem tp-warrant. - AVumberof railroads have thaken a course that is a little puzzling. The Erie for instance ha 8 issued peremptory orders to discontinue work on about 13,000,000 worth of improve ments. This will mean cancel at ion of orders and throwing thousands of men out of work. One of the big southern lines has taken the same step, though its work is not quite so extensive Many of the other roads have suspended work on extensions and are doing only the most pressing work of maintenance. The roads taking this antinn alleges that it is fflntost impossi ble in the present state of feeling to get money to carry on the work. This doubtless is true in a measure, but rtiere is little doubt also, iiiat the situation is not so desperate as the roads make out, It looks more like an organized attempt to start a national de pression and accomplish by this sort of a threat what the flurry in the stock market did not accomplish, namely "a break in the President's policy of rail roads legislation intended to produce really honest railroads. Much practical work is being done. by the; Forest Service in aid of tree planting in the mid dle west The Service has been anxious all along to disseminate as much information as possible about tree planjing and to en courage the work. Many impor tant works on tree culture, treat ing in detail of the different va rieties have been issued. But it was found that a man was seldom interested in more than one or two varieties of trees adapted to his particular locality. The Ser vice therefore has abopted the plan of issuing leaflets on individ ual varieties of trees, each con taining just as much ns t h e average inquirer would want to know. These leaflets are printed with a view to their une in cer tain localities and farms and others interested in the culture of the best trees ' for their own particular sections can be furnish ed much valuable information in a very email compass by . apply ing or writing to the "Forest Service,"Vashihgton, D. !C, and merely stating their locality and asking for the literature bearing on that region. Much money is being saved on printing and postage and more is left to be devoted to other lines of forest research.. - NOTICE. . . - Haing qualifi as Administrator of the eslute of F.

Tfiii Feb. 7. 1907 V' S. P, Shull, Administrator. J. C. Fletcher, Attorney. Canada and Tbs United States. (Washington Post) A college professor of Ottawa. has written a book. "Greater Canada," in which" he ventures the prophecy th5t Canada will never be a part of the American union. That is as fate may deter mine. Fate has played a heavy role in his history of both coun tries since the middle of the eigh teenth, century. American indo. pendencewas gained at Quebec the day James Wolfe met a glo rious death on- the plains of A brttham. Washiiisrton's triiimnh at Yorktown whs only the Be quence of the antecedent. Wolf's victory substituted the British flag for the French' in Canada. Had the French flag remained there, our forefathers would not have rebelled, even had the stamp tax been ten times greater than it was. The French flacr in Cana- da made the thirteen colonies the most loyal of the English Kinc's dominions at home or abroad. ' , . When the treaty of peace was negotiated, England ' was .anx ious to "throw in" Canada: but Washington would not hear to it, for well he knew France would demand that country to reim burse her for the outlay she had made in our behalf in the war of independence. Canada restored to France meant the colonies re stored to England, for we may be sure the colonies and France would have been at loggerheads ! withm five years, and, to be sure, as blood is thicker than water. England was joined in the quar rel in behalf of the colonies, lick ed France, and kissed and made up with the colonies But fate had other fish to fry England kept Canada, and it iH become the most valuable of al the colonies and the most loyal, as was shown in the Boer war, when Canada's volunteers did such valliant service for the moth er country. And why should not Canada be pretty well satisfied? She has all the protection the British navy can afford, without money and without price. She has as much of liberty as any other people on the globe, liter ty regulated by law. She was en joyinga wonderful prosperity and has empires of fertile virgin lands that invite immigration rom alien people, including the United States, If we had Canada, it would car ry immetse satisfaction to the ru lere of England. It would make American politics intensely Aug- lomanmc. If the pear were ripe, she would fall in our lap, with all her love for the mother coun try. In a few years she would be a dozen states with a score of U- nited . States Senators, with no telling how many members of the House of Representatives. That would amount the British alli ance. And if England had America for an ally, bound by treaty, she would not have to walk the floor again this century. Fate may yet cut some capers for Canada, England and the U nited States.

K A Washington dispatch says: A mule belonging to Senor Irene Salgado was the chief object of dispute between Nicaragua and Honduras when they began the quarrel which finally ended in the war that is threatening the peace of all Central America according to the official communications. exchanged by the ministers of , the foreign affairs for the two re-! publics, copies of which commuui J - !catl0119 linve tn received in ' Washington. .The controversy ; began when Augusto C. Coello, the Honduras minister for for eign affairs, wrote a note to Jose D. Gomez, t he Nicaragua minister for foreign affairs, on January 28th, protesting against (t h e theft of a mule from Irene Sal gado by 35 Nicarguan cavalry men who were charged with en tering Honduran territory. In re ply Senor Gomez said the Nkr araguanedid notenter Honduran territory, although they passed near the little town of Los Manos in that: republic. The takinsr of the mule was not denied but Senor Gomez insisted in his let ..." ter that Salgndo was not a Ilon- dunan citizen, but a Nicaraguan who had to leave that country because of the part he played in a revolution two years before. Consequently Nicaragua main 4... : ,1 1 11 a uunm in at iioiup'ras had no right to fly to the defense of Sal gado's mule. This note brought a spirited re ply from Hondurs, the minister of foreign affairs nnnnouncing that Irene Salgad, the Nisara guan refugee was living in Tegu cigalpa happily engaged in trade thpte, while a man by the same name, a most reputable and re spected farmer, a Honduran of unquestionable citizenship, lived atLos Manos and owned th'e much mooted mule. Nicaragua replied that it was truo that Col. Juan I. ltocha, who commanded a party of cavalrymen, took a mule near Los Manos, but reiter ated that the animal was not ta ken in Honduras territory. Dis patches grew longer and as the controversy wa'xeJ warmer, oth er questions arose. Then the arbi tration tribunal was opened and finally the break came when Pres ident Salavn of Nirarnjrua with- v (71 drew his member of the board 6'f arbitration and war between Ni caragua and Honduras actually iiegan.
