Internati Copyright.

The discussion of the international COPY
right question, arising out of the treatment of
DR.. J. G. Holland by London publisher, has
not yet ceased in England. 1t will be remem-
bered that DR.. Holland in order to secure to
his own publishers the exclusive interest in
his ''Arthur Bonnicastle,' had the earlier
chapters of the novel copyrighted in England
previous to their appearance in this country.
The London publisher by whom the book
was pirated, omitted these chapters altogether
and supplied their place with an introduction
by another hand That similar outrages are
not committed in this country is only owing
to the fact that English authors seldom copy
right in the first instance in America and so
our publishers are at liberty to appropriate the
whole work. To such an extent is this carried
that seven-eighths of the books published in
the United States are English reprints, on
which no copyright is paid This is not only
disgraceful to both countries but it is unjust
to authors and of no real advantage to any
body except the publishers, who make money
by the sale of pirated and inferior editions of
popular works.
To remedy this state of things pending the
removal of the grievance by means of an inter-
national copyright, which he regards as
dream of the future, writer in the AttenGun
proposes that it become law that if an English
publisher advertises or announces book by
an author, British subject, say for month
before the day of publication (giving title and
other particulars so as to establish proper
Identification Of the book) that meanwhile, if,
during the intervening month the author
chooses to publish his book in America, so as
to obtain by prior publication the copyright
there, the English copyright shall, neverthe-
less, remain intact, having been already legally
secured by the antecedent announcement of
the English publisher.
This is something like the tacit understand
ing between American publishers in their sin
press" announcements of English books, and
it would have some efficacy because sane
toned by an act of Parliament. But it would
be after all only blundering roundabout un-
dignfied way of securing to authors their just
rights in their books. Nothing short of an
international copyright will prove adequate.
And we do not think an international copyright
is so much dream of the future as the
writer in the Adten0un affects to believe.
There might have been an international copy
right between the United States and Great
Britain these many years if an earnest effort
had been made to obtain it. No real attempt
has ever been made either in this country or
in England to secure international copyright.
The only way in which it can be done effec-
lively is by treaty, and the first step necessarily
is authority from Congress and from the
British government for the appointment of
commissioners to treat. An effort to obtain a
commission, if made simultaneously in this
country and in England, could hardly fail, and
then the whole question would be thoroughly
discussed. so that fair adjustment would be-

ssCOuncils of Honor"

Among the steps in the progress of German
unity and progress we note that regulations
have Just been issued in Berlin for the forma-
ton of Councils of Honor among Prussian
officers. Every officer who considers his honor
attacked by comrade is required to give in
formation to this tribunal, and no duel can
come off without its approval nor until the
failure of any other solution. The President
of the tribunal is 10 be present at the duel to
see that it is properly conducted. Officers
engaged in dues are not to be subject to GRIM
inal proceedings unless the occasion or issue
of the encounter is violation of the rules of
honor, such as serious unprovoked insult.

The Sermons Yesterday.

The churches yesterday were well filled and
the different preachers showed a disposition to
wrestle vigorously in defence of the cause OF
morality and truth. Some reference to the
great scandal which has occupied public at
tention during the past week was probably
looked for and had much to do in gathering
the large congregations which attended the
church services yesterday. In most cases the
preachers avoided all reference to this un-
pleasant topic and devoted themselves to ex-
pounding the doctrines of salvation for the
benefit of their focks. DR.. Sabine, of the
Episcopal Reformed Church, took for his text
''Strength in Christ" He argued that such
as are sin Christ cannot sin constantly and
habitually. According to his view "A Chris
tian may become fallen but not a lost child.
The fascinations of the world may allure him,
the lusts of the flesh entice him; but he will be
rescued. Divine adoption cannot be dis
turbed Bishop Kavanaugh, the representative
of the Southern Methodists, preached on the
doctrine OF free will and foreknowledge.
The Bishop took the view that there
was no necessity for mans fall, and
that both Adam and Eve, as well as the angels,
stood long enough to demonstrate their
power to stand Adam and Eve in Eden had
no need to pray. What they had they had by
right, not by grace Had we done our part as
God did His we should have had no heritage
of pain and sorrow. Dr. Deems preached in
the Church of the Strangers and took as the
subject of his discourse ''The Blessed Dead.
Having pointed out the vanity of life, with its
ceaseless struggles and ambitions all ending
in the grave, he contrasted it's barrenness with
the nobility of those toilers in the cause of
God who go into the forest and convert it
into garden of the Lord. The laborer may
fall in the midst of his work, but he is at once
at rest. With many illustrations he pointed
out the superiority of spiritual effort over
merely selfish struggles after wealth and posi-
ton. Professor Barbour of Maine, thought
that Christians were the salt of the earth. He
urged the cultivation of the Christian spirit,
without which the temples would come to
naught. The merely popular preacher was
not the best for the Christian work. What
was needed was the man who could point

Perhaps one of the most noteworthy events
in the religious world yesterday was the visit
of small band of missionaries to one of the
city slums known as ''Africa.' This visit to
the heathens within the city limits does not
appear to have created much impression, but,
nevertheless, another effort to awaken some
religious feeling in the breasts Of the de-
graded dwellers in Africa will be made next
Sunday. The Rev. Eugene Cassidy gave
those preachers who abandon their focks in
order to seek summer recreation a severe re-
proof. He pointed out that the Word of God
was not made specially for the bracing days OF
autumn, the colds of winter, the genial tenn
perature OF spring or the wearing heat OF
summer. Hence it was absurd to take a vaca-
ton in things appertaining to life eternal.

The REIGN OF TERROR IN YoRKvuLE-
The unprotected state of Yorkville is a con-
slant temptation TO the dangerous classes to
perpetrate robberies, which the police seem
powerless to prevent. The fault does not lie
with the officers so much as with the Commits
sioners, because with the present force it is
we'll nigh impossible for the captains to cover
the wide territory given 10 their charge. The
thieves and burglars of the city are well in
formed of all unprotected points, and hence
their operations are carried On with boldness
which reminds one of the days when thieves
took possession Of the public roads and levied
blackmail. 1t is not over year ago that
ruffans compelled citizens travelling on the
horse cars in the upper part of the city to pay
tribute, and unless some energetic steps are
taken to repress the enterprising spirit of our
thieves similar scenes will be again witnessed.
AS it is the inhabitants of Yorkvlle live in
hourly dread of the brigands that infest that
neglected portion of this city, Mr. Walling
has an opportunity Of earning the eternal
gratitude OF these unfortunate people by taking
such measures as will secure them the same
immunity from robbery and violence enjoyed
by their more favored fellow citizens in other

The Dramatic Outlook.

Our theatres begin to exhibit signs Of re-
turning life, and already notes of preparation
for the coming season are heard on every side.
Boucicault is coming back with the long
looked for American comedy, which is said to
be the best of all his numerous plays. If We
can trust report it has also the merit of being
strikingly original. We are glad to hear this.
for some of Mr. Bouccaults best work was
done before he fell on the French placer which
he has SO industriously exploited. Mr.. DAILY,
too, is hard at work on something new, but, like
the greatest dramatist of the age," he hides
the title OF his forthcoming work carefully from
the public and the critics. The time is, how
ever, rapidly approaching when, in common
with lesser mortals, these great lights of the
stage will be anxious for all the publicity they
can obtain. Mr.. Wallack begins his season
by introducing Mr.. j. L. Toole, the famous
English comedian, who is expected
to make great impression on Ameri-
can audiences. There can be no ques-
ton of Toole's great abilities as low
comedian, but it remains to be seen whether
an American audience will appreciate fun
which is purely "cockney." This actor will
labor under the great disadvantage that many
of the types Of low English life which he best
succeeds in portraying have no counterpart
at this side Of the water, and will, therefore,
lack interest for the American public. Still
there is so much genuine fun and drollery in
Toole that he may be able to overcome this
difficulty, and make himself as great favor
ite in New York as he is in London. "Evange-
line or, The Maid of Acadia" is the title
Of new entertainment to be produced
tonight at Niblo's 1t is something
between comic opera and bur-
lesque, and has the merit of being
American in subject and new in style. What
ever its fate may be the management of this
theatre deserves praise for the energy shown
during the summer season in producing nov
city after novelty to very poor houses. It ia
to be hoped that u cool spell and some merit
in the new entertainment may enable them td
reap a substantial reward There is danger
that the Grand Opera House may disappear
from the list of our metropolitan theatres.
The Florences having refused to accept the
risks Of management. even on very favorable
terms, the irrepressible Gilmore is likely to
obtain the building for his projected Alham-
bra, if only he can raise the needed funds to
carry out his speculation. 1t is evident that
the coming dramatic season will be as full OF
interest as any of its predecessors, and it may
be that the long looked for American comedy
will at last make its appearance on the New
York stage.
