A Notable Interview.

Our special report of the conversation on
larger politics between the Emperor of
Japan and General Grant may not excite as
wide interest as was manifested upon the
occasion of the publication in these col
umns Of the famous Grant-Bismarck con-
fab of year ago, yet in many respects the
interview at Enriokwan was the more i'm
portant affair of the two. AS the ex-Presi-
dent said to the Emperor, Japan and China
are the only remaining Asiatic countries
that have the ability to become great-that
are independent of European dictation.
AS their population comprises about
one-third of that Of the world, and
as they are the only two Asiatic ma
tions with which America is likely to have
close commercial and diplomatic relations.
their future is of more real Importance to
us than any of the changes of European
politics can possibly be- The suggestions
of the General upon the State policy of
japan in the important particular of keep
ing clear of foreign interference by refrain
ing from fighting or borrowing show how
keen an observer of Continental policies
the ex-President has been. Add to all
this the fact that the Emperor departed
immeasurably from traditional custom by
visiting the General, and the interview
rises to the level of the memorable ones of
history.

W,Tenra. Idle Tenrs.O

The Poet Laureate says that these two
kinds of tears, the plain and the idle ones,
''gather to the eyes in looking on the happy
autumn fields" He evidently believes that
hay fever aud ragweed are subjects for
poetry. Hereafter September shall be the
season Of salt tears. To have hay fever is
to be in fashion; it is the thing to have.
Not only are men and women weep
ing because of it, but children cry
for it. 1t brings to mind Niobe, who,
we are told, was all tears. 1t seems
to be almost MS unanimous as q republi-
can convention; both the eyes and nose
have it. As what cannot be cured must
be endured, what shall be done with the
chilling tears of hay fever? Sufferers cam
not be signs Tor undertakers shops, nor oil
bo young divines preaching first sermon
to n congregation largely composed Of sad
young ladies' All cannot be weeping lovers,
TOR young ladies do not always like young
men whose eyes look as ii they had been
caught out in the rain. No man appears
as lover whose eyes look like blue

every sobbing sufferer should weep over

all its blue grass fever and its devotees

EOoIha rdy Navigation.

The fate of the little boat Uncle Sam,
swamped and scuttled off Newfoundland,
is not to be lamented if it will dampen the
ardor of such mariners as are still prepar-
ing to cross the Atlantic merely to show in
how small craft the trip can be made
The Uncle Sam was less than twenty feet
long; her crew consisted of seaman and
his wife; the lady became dangerously i'll,
80 that her husband was compelled to re-
main awake continuously for several days,
and in heavy storm; the boat filled with
water; nearly everything gave way, the pro-
visions were ruined, and the crew was
picked mp, not an hour too soon, by n
British bark. No possible practical pur-
pose is served by sailing these mina-
ture ships, even if some of them get
safely to Europe. 1t may be demonstrated
that man can go from America to England
in fifteen-ioot boat, with no company but
dog, but the tendency of modern travel
lers Is toward two-iooted compognons de
voyage. Another small craft may be roomy

Bismarck and Gortsehakofr.

The North German Gazette discusses" the
these princes, and wonders show such a
disagreement could have originated" as
the princes have not met since the Berlin
Congress, at which time there existed be-
tween them "the closest intimacy" 1t is q
little odd that the Gazette should have
have contributed some original informn-
tion. 1t might, if there is no difference
between the princes, have informed the
world with authority of that fact. The
Gazette is in position to know the relations
of the two men and does know them. and
that it does not deny the .troissement is
presumptive evidence that it exists. 1t
cites no other ground for doubling
the common rumor than that the princes
have not personally met for some time, and
since they could disagree extremely we'll
without meeting this argument is to be
taken as in the nature of chaff The world
at large may therefore consider itself as
officially informed that there is at this
moment no love lost between the two
Chancellors. At precisely what point
in the diplomatic game Gortschakoff
refused to play to Bismarck's lead
matters little to anybody. It has been
evident for great while that he would
have to draw the line somewhere. Bis
marck is not man to stop and Gortschakoff
is not man to follow indefinitely. Dis
agreement between then sooner or later
was, in the nature of things, inevitable.
It's possible results are of more con-
sequence than the precise point Of
it's origin. 1t has already assumed the
form of conflict for the displacement of
the Russian Chancellor. Ordinarily the
world hears Of imperial conferences in the
summer that take in the heads of the three
Empires-Russia, Austria and Germany.
This year Austria and Germany met to the
exclusion of the third Empire, fact which
disturbed the equanimity of the Czar, and
which, it was pointed out to him, was due
to the fact that he had too cantankerous
Chancellor He may prefer to change his
Chancellor rather than thus be left out in
the cold, and the rumors that Gortschakoff
is to give place to successor are apparently
based on this fancy.

Charles Reade's ''Drink," Notwithstanding
the appearance of the Victims but with an

proud to shed. Hay fever sufferers, ad-
mitted at half price, will weep during the

priately moist and emotional, and would
leave the audience boisterously weeping as
the curtain rang up and the orchestra filed

Newspaper Correspondents and
Afghan War.


1t indicates rather panicky frame of
mind on the part of the British authorities
in India that a notice should be issued for
bidding newspaper correspondents to ac-
company the army into Afghanistan. When
we remember how often Of late years news
paper men have been the first to bring news
of important engagements to British COM
manders We may we'll wonder how
great is the official fear of jour-
nalistic criticism when the govern
ment deliberately cuts off this prolific
source of information. 1t was an American
journalist-the HERALD correspondent, by
the way-who forwarded to England the
first news of the capture of Magdala during
the Abyssinian war, and it was a newspaper
man whose quick ride from Ulundi allowed
Sir Garnet Wolseley to pen his report Of
the battle in Zululand to the home govern
ment. These instances out Of many. When
we compare this treatment of the press by
the English government with the freedom
accorded to correspondents by the Russian
government during the Turkish war,
the country so boastful of the power
Of the sfourth estate" shows very badly.
There is, however, comical counter
poise to this Chinese order of exclusion
namely, that "regimental officers may COM
municate with newspapers" This, of
course, means 'soficial news" for no officer
will dare to write what would be unpleas-
ant for his commander. if indeed he be al
lowed to send line that his commander
has not approved. AS to the commanders,
therefore, for rose-colored descriptions of
the revenge on the Afghans, in reports sent
forward without any undue haste That,
however, is not the comical side. The gov
ernment must imagine that the regimental
officers will have little professional
work to do if they can, from the
colonel down to the sub-lieutenants,
sit down to pen their glowing des-
patches to the news-hungry papers of
Great Britain and Ireland, for every daily
in the kingdom can now have a correspond
ent in uniform. The haste with which the
world is being secured for reinforcements,
the half filled ranks of the regiments pre-
pairing to advance, the scurry for means
of transportation, do not bear out the pic
ture of holiday excursion which the plan
of "regimental" correspondents would in
one view imply and half dozen trained
journalists would be worth a battalion of
them. What will John Bull say, who wants
to know the facts and will have to foot the
bill?

Railroad Abuses as a Political Issue.


In the interview which we print to-day
DIR. l. l. Hayes, distinguished member of
the Legislature who takes an active interest
in all the aspects of the transportation
question, states his estimate of the results
of the pending legislative investigation SO
far as it has yet proceeded. We are glad
to have the views of q gentleman not
unfriendly to the railroads as to the justice
of the complaints made by the people of
the State against these corporations. DIR.
Hayes does not deny, and we suppose no
intelligent and impartial man will under
take to deny, that there are substantial
grounds for the dissatisfaction with the
railroad management of the companies in
corporated by the State. The investigation
which was ordered by the last Legislature,
and is conducted with so much skill and
energy by the able committee OF which
Mr.. Hepburn is chairman, is of itself
proof of the widespread dissatisfaction
which prevails throughout the State. 1t is
owing to strong pressure by the people
that the present Investigation was ordered
by the Legislature. The facts which have
quiry prove that the indignant complaints
Of the business community have too much
foundation, as DR.. Hayes candidly admits.
The Determinations and tavoritism prac-
tised by the railroads of the State are
simply monstrous. The failure Of their
officers who have been examined before Mr..
Hepburn's committee to make any salts
factory explanations, and their brazen at
tempts to conceal or belittle the facts, make
a very unfavorable impression. The con-
tumacious efforts of railroad officers 10
battle Investigation necessitate and justify
the rigor OF the committee in their inquisi-
tion.
vestigation and observed the squirming
reluctance of the railroad officials to supply
facts and make explanations can doubt that
there is great deal which they have an
interest in concealing, or that abuses exist
which require an unsparing remedy.
This investigation perhaps comes too
late to have much influence in the pending
State canvass. And yet there is possibil-
ity that it may turn the scale in the election
when the two great parties are so nearly
equal in strength. The third party, which
represents these grievances, has put
republican at the head of its State ticket.
Mr. Lewis, its candidate for Governor,
is o prominent member of the Farm
ers' Alliance, and it is possible
that he may receive votes enough to
turn the scale between the two regu-
lar parties. The republican platform
slurs over these abuses, while the demo-
cratic platform recognizes them and prom
ises redress. 1t would require but small
rally of the dissatisfied farmers and busi-
ness men to draw off voters enough to
change the political complexion of State
which is SO equally divided between the
two great parties as the State Of New York.
The ticket of the third party, with repub-
lcan at its head, is more likely to weaken
the republicans than the democrats.
