KING CANUTE. AZ. D.

The story of Canute is the apologize Of Time.
Society sits in comfortable state on the dry
land of its ancient prejudices, nodding black
defiance at the waves of progress that are GER
tain to break over its conservative feet. Every
little guild of men repeats the tale. But 1t APP
pears that the irritable order Of Doctors
affords that modern instance of baflled
majesty which goes far to obscure the
conspicuous lunacy of the historic prece-
dent. The fraternity stood transfxed with
indignant amazement at the sacrilegiOus
Mesmer. 1t drowned Preissnitz in floods of rid
icule weaker than his beloved water. 1t buried
Hahnemahn in oblivion, and offered to pitch
out of window anybody who should mention
his name with respect. 1t sneered at women
who were great enough to Ordain themselves
to tho service of this temple Of the body and
heroic enough to penetrate its mysteries
and declare their sacredness, while great
host of the evil minded hoOted and
Kissed in the outer courts. 1t is conceded
at last that Mesmer builded better than he
knew; that Preissnitz washed away some OF
the deadly hygienic sins of the world; that
Hahnemahn's tiny pellets were bullets that
killed grim giants of routine and nonsense.
granted that the Profession had also allowed
itself to be converted by tho obstinate logic of
certain delicate and absolute facts of the hui
man organization, and by the equally obstinate
logic of the shining success and usefulness
of certain thoroughly educated female doctors,
to the wisdom and the necessity Of opening
their ranks to admit competent and determined
women. -... .

The Canadian denial of any threat to do away
with fishery licenses and TO tax our coal and
breadstus, in retaliation for the absence of reci'
procity, is met to-day by a very suggestive
statement. 1t is shown that not only the
Ottawa Finance Minister and Minister OF
Fisheries and Marine, but also the Pnvy
Council, have conceded in the view that all
concessions made to American fishermen IN the
treaty of 1854 should be withdrawn. The late
Minister of Finance was responsible in part for
the recommendation that American breadstuifs,
of which more than S12,0O0OOO are imported
into the Dominion yearly, should pay q
certain duty. We may, therefore, look upon
the features of retaliation described as portions
of a threatened or foregone policy, as the
Canadians please. In any case, we shall not DO
slow to calculate our bearings.

great Democratic rooster flaps his wings. and
crows Justify over the supposed defeat OF TINS
important measure for the reform of our JUDI
ciary system. "The effect of the adoption OF
THAT article" says The Leader, "would have
"been disastrous in a political sense. The
Democratic party has captured the Court OF
appeals" Then it goes on to explain that
the Judiciary Article provides for an election
of the Court of Appeals next Spring or
Summer "This would be at time" shrewdly
observes the Editor, "when it is impossible to
bring out full vote in cities, and of course
the Radical party would have captured the
Court back again." Perhaps after witnessing
the Democratic dOings for one session at
Albany the people will conclude to do just
what Mr.. Hall says they would do "Of course"
in the result of the adoption of this great
reform. We have no manner of doubt that
the people will vote just that way, and 1T is to
be hoped that among the Democrats who Will
be absent from the cities at election time there
will be fair proportion of the repeaters and
sharp canvassers. In that event the people
may reasonably expect to get their own.

We are gratifed to learn on authority which
we regard as Trustworthy, that our Board of
County Canvassers have ciphered out major
fly Of 39,6S5 against the Judiciary Article of
the Amended Constitution; but thanks to the
intelligence OF the voters in other parts of the
State, and perhaps also to the miscalculation
of the CaDyassing Ring, they have set their
figures for once too low. Tie article is adopted
by over 5000 majority in spite of this forced
result in our City. Upon close and careful
scrutiny of the returns from all the counties of
the State except New York, we find in those
counties majority Of 45,1O5 for the Judicial
Article, from which deduct 1895 for this City and
the article is adopted by 5,470 We think the
majority viii be over rather than under that
figure. That the capyassers here supposed they
had put the majority of the city high enough
to Oyerwhelm the country is reasonably appa-
rent from an article in Mr.. A. Oakley Halls
journal (The Leader of Saturday, wherein the

There Is a current though fallacious proverb
that lightning never strikes twice in the same
place. This is only likely to be true when that
which naturally attracts the electric discharge
is no longer in that locality. The fatal disaster
in Brooklyn, twice preceded by great loss OF
life In the same building, is conclusive
evidence that if terrible experience teaches
no wisdom, and 1.-THE conditions that invite
destruction are repeated. results of equal
horror will surely follow
In each instance before, the danger of the
position and construction of this building had
been the subject of legal investigation and ex-
tended remark. The same owner rebuilds this

The Sun charges that the Hon. NJ. II. Grin
nell has allowed Mr. S. t. BlatchfOrd to resign
after evidence of his guilt was afforded. We
take leave to doubt this statement. Mr.. Batch
ford's friends were able for a time to deceive
us with regard to his guilt, and they may have
likewise deceived Mr.. Grinnell. We are conf
dent that Mr.. G. has allowed no subordinate to
resign after he had proof of his guilt Any
man may make mistakes; but Moses II. Grinnell
has too long maintained spOtless reputation
to be willing to stain it new.

CUBA AND THE UNITED STATES.


Again we are inclined to say that the cause
of Spain in Cuba is lost irretrievably. An island
scourgcd by FIRE and sword for a year or more,
desoated in its agriculture. unsettled in all its
labor, can have little left for transported Of
fetal to speculate upon, or negro trader to
profit by. Our later advices from that devoted
quarter do not improve the miserable as
pect Of affairs. Plantations have been burn
ing wholesale, and there have been considerable
desertions Of mulattoes from the Government
ranks, and acceSsions of sugar making blacks
