of il being that neither city is in the least like its

to be observed any evening in the neighborhOod of

lingering glow light the West both prolonged by their reflection in
the water picturesque extremely; and occasionally when the lights
are just light suggests the canals and tall intervening buildings

All GOOD iourneymen of the Trades Union
scbool look upon Apprentices as their natural
enemies, and hold them in something Oh the
same contempt that the perfect insect may De
supposed TO feel for the grub which 1t once
was But our New-YOrk labOTers i'll the chrys-
ais state are not merely cOntemptuous, they
Are inclined to be vindictive too and If they
are TO have their way in the future
the embryo wOrlcingnan in his APP
prentice state will have rather hard
time of it. Some of the Trades Unions,
we believe, do not permit their members to
teach apprentices and now they design, by
law they have secured, to prevent employing
tradesmen from taking apprentices INTO their
establishments. This law and some opinions
of practical people are published IN another
column of this issue, and show very clearly
the purpose of the movement which Is
an old one among the Trades Union peO-
pie. Briefly, this purpose Is to make the
conditions of apprenticeship so hazardous for
the employer and 80 obnoxious and degrading
to the apprentice, as practically TO put an
end to the system, or rather absence OF
system of indentuTe now in vogue The
journeymen think by thus preventing the
increase of skilled wOrkmen TO increase their
own values and such, in small and hardly APP
preciable degree, would be the effect OF the
law If it could be enforced. But its very pro
visions, too stringent and repulsive, render it
Intellectual and it is already substantially

Roumania is a remarkable instance of a
country having a constitution in advance of
the moral development of the majority of its
people who abuse their freedom by throwing
oil almost all moral restraint 1t will be diff
cult under the present constitution for any
considerable degree of order to be restored by
a mOnarchical government. Prince Charles
has, however, attempted this and apparently
succeeded, for the latest Cable dispatches an
nOunce that the elections show a reaction in
lis favor, and give ministerial majority in
the Chambers. But this result was brought
about by the combined influence of Germany
aud Austria, and by the prospective military
Interference of Turkey; it can scarcely be ex

ct was the famous Bishop Berkeley, we think
who said that the battle of Waterloo put back the
clock of progress half century," 1t is with TINS
startling statement that The BtdthersE1e begins us
leader yesterday, and follows up its exordlum WIN
q mass of facts equally novel and interesting. Most
people do not appreciate the service which that re-
markable paper is rendering to the study of history.
Not appears which does not contain some
facts which are i'm the exclusive possession OF The
BIafberskite and which fatty contradict the received
histories which have so long had things their own
way Take the above quotation for instance. IL
shows what a glaTing blunder the common school
histories have made in regard to so important date
as the battle of Waterloo. They have repeatedly
asserted that this fight took place in 1915, whereas
we know that Bishop Berkeley died in 1853, and GER
tany could not have made that judicous remark
about the battle after he was dead. He was not the
sort of man who went about gibbering over events
that took place after his lamented demise. We learn
that this invaluable paper will bring out in rapid
succession series of new and startling facts
hitherto persistently misstated by historians. 1t
will show that it was not Egeria but Mrs. Victoria
Woodruff whom Numa POmpus consulted UPON
matters of politics, and that Christopher Columbus
landed on Cat Island merely because the Tammany
Ring had made wharfage too expensive In York
Harbor The Blatherskite is not quite clear whether
it was COnfucius Prester John who wrote
Lothian but it is fixed in the conviction that when
Hannibal and DR.. Faust had their famous col.
ference at Cheyenne the question of pig iron as con-
nected with the Carthagenian campaign against
Constantinople was rigidly excluded from debate.
in the sentence we quote at the beginning of
this paragraph there is but one thing to critcise.
The Blathaskite says I'VE think" 1t never thinks.
1t may sometimes think it thinks; but that is very
different matter.

to the law. Assuming tho facts to be as the
client states them, the counsel ia asked to de-
fine and interpret the law governing that par
ticular case. Of course he must answer ac-
cording to his convictions. OF course also
the client. who asks an opinion in order to be
guided by it, must confde to the lawyer all
the necessary facts. An opinion 80 formed
and EXPRESSED by an experienced and learned
counselor il therefore entitled TO great re-
spect. But the pamphlet which Mr. curtis
has written for Mr.. Field is not merely
an opinion on points of law, but YER

in appearance and another iii reality. In form
il is a calm, dispassionate judgment; In enect
il il the argument of professional advocate.
Mr.. Curtis assures us that he believes in the
cause he defends. That we do not question !;
he has told us himself that lawyers generally
"argue from their convictions" and we all
know that very good lawyers easily Drlng
themselves to believe in very bad causes lie
assures Us also that he has taken pains to get
at the facts. Howl He has read the printed

There has long been in existence a certain
popular belief in the theory that Cuba is es-
sentially independent of Spain. That is to
say, that the authorities of that misgoverned
island do about as they please, without much
reference or Difference to orders from the
Home Government. This belief will be
strengthened by the explicit statements made
in our Washington dispatches concerning the
diligent practice of the Cuban Government in
the art of doing nothing touching the claims
of American citizens in Cuba. 1t seems to be
one thing to have these claims adjusted at
headquarters, and quite another to procure the
consenting action of the GOvernor-General OF
Cuha

A strange phase is developed in the William
Foster affair by the publication this morning
of another card, in which he denies his author
ship of, or responsibility for, the previous doc
ument over his name LAT y furnished to the
press. In this last communication, which Is
attested by his counsel, Judge Stuart, he al
firms that pertinacious city reporter wrote
the "Plea TO the Public" which the aforesaid
Public was beguiled into receiving as an ut
terance of William Foster, convicted muir
derer, procuring his signature by misrepre-
sentation. This disavowal of his authorship or
Endorsement of the purposeless plea leaves
Fosters case just where it was; but it relieves
him from the weight of such unfriendly crltl-
cism as may have been made upon the traudu-
lent card by those who were deceived by an
ingenious and disreputable trick.

there was faint protest against the war-just
enough to show how imbecile the Association
was-but in France the men fought with all
their hearts to support the dynasty Of the
despot, and they hate their German "breth-
"renn to-day more bitterly than they ever hated
Napoleon. Whatever power the international
Association had before the war las been terri
bly, shaken by the struggle. 1t is not only that
on one side of the Rhine absolutism has been
strengthened and on the other democracy has
been covered with disgrace, but France has
been so filed with rage and bitterness and
bigOtTy that international fraternity has be-
come impossible. A Commune of disheveled
fanatics dancing amid the blazing ruins of the
most beautiful capital in the world, and Shrek
ing for blood in the name of the Universal
Brotherhood Of Labor, stoo gross burlesque
upon human nature-even for Paris.
