highway to perdition. Nor does it follow
because we are getting rich that we are on
the highway to the Millennium. The cor
ruption which exists, if suffered to in
crease, certainly may cause us to "shoot
Niagara ~ as Carlyle has it. The prosper
ity of which Mr.. Georges critics boast,
however, cannot Of itself hinder or check
that corruption, nor can it carry the coun-
try clear of the evils which that corrup-
ton engenders. The first hopeful indica-
ton in such case as ours is a disposition
to recognize the reality and seriousness of
the dangers which confront us. Optimism
at such time is worse than folly; it is
treason to the best interests of the nation.
No evils were ever cured by pretend
ing that they did not exist. No
failure of institutions ever was remedied by
denying it. We do no. think it can be
seriously doubted that in some important re-
spects universal suffrage and the machinery
founded upon it have produced extremely
mischievous results. If universal suffrage
has to be endured, it is none the less
necessary to seek remedies for these evils,
and the first step to be taken is to admit
them. The most damaging criticism of
defective institutions is the most salutary
treatment they can receive. If thing is
working wrong the patriotic method is to
point out that it is working wrong, and to
ask howits operation can be amended. Only
fools and ostriches hide their heads il
the sand and imagine that because their
eyes are blinded the outside world has
ceased to exist.

WHICH IS RIGHT -?

Henry George tells the people of New
York that republican institutions have
proved a failure that shey are really not
free but that the government under which
they hive, and from which they struggle
vainly to escape, is government OF
thieves. Upon this several journals de.
pounee Mr.. George, and declare with a
certain semblance OF enthusiasm, that
this is a free country, and, in fact, the
very freest of free countries that the
eifete despotisms of Europe cannot hold a
candle to it; that on the whole there is
less corruption here than has ever been
known before in the worlds history thst
the American people are rich, and there
fore happy, and therefore moral snd
go forth, and so on. 1t is, of course, evil
dent to the impartial observer that there
is good deal of truth on both sides.
Henry George speaks truly when he says
that a government of thieves has been
made possible by democratic institu-
tons, and that great corruption is
one of the corrollaries of cur politics
at present. The journals which differ
from him speak the truth when they say
that there is higher average OF compe-
tence in the United States than anywhere
else. But it Goes not follow because there
is great corruption that We are on the

MILLER AND HoAR.


Senator Miller deserves the thanks of
California for the exceedingly neat and
effective manner in which he hoisted Sen
ator Hoar with the latter's own petard.
The citation from Pauls speech ON Mars
Hill which the gentleman from Massachu-
chusetts made use of to show that there
ought to be no restriction imposed upon
Chinese immigration, has been employed
great deal in the same garbled and dis
honest way. 1t appears indeed that Mr..
Hoar had never seen the entire taxi, and
therefore he is not personally chargeable
with duplicity. But Senator Miller did
double good in showing that the whole
text bears a construction the precise oppo-
site of that which has been ascribed to it
by the sentimentalists. Perhaps that
party Justify the mutilation on the ground
taken by the preacher who gave as his
text top not come down when
he was about to illuminate against
feminine head. dresses, namely, that
as all parts OF the scriptures
were equally inspired, it could not
matter in what collocation the words were
used. The time, however, has gone by,
not merely for the employment of such
sophisms and absurdities, hut for attempts
to fortify nineteenth century policy by
reference to the views OF a jew who lived
nearly two thousand years ago. What
Paul thought about his own times doubt.
less possesses interest, but he was not
statesman, and his views on Chinese inmi.
grafton arc in no respect more relevant
and weighty than those Of Confucius
would be. The fact that lie really did not
believe as the sentimentalists have pre-
tended, of course cuts the ground from
under their feet, inasmuch as they have
agreed to accept him as an authority. But
the world has, fortunately. ceased to build
its legislation or its opinions upon such
foundations, and has for some time in
sisted that modern circumstances and con.
ditions must be dealt with from a modern
staudpoint

AN INVITING COUNTRY.

The New York San intimates that the
proposed American colony in Sonora prom
ises to be very lively one, inasmuch-as
the land grants on which it is proposed to
settle "are occupied by Indians of power
"ful physical build, brave and warlike
"temper, and resolute disposition TO hold
I" their domain by force of arms, if ueces-
"sary, against all comers." The Mexican
Government, in fact, has followed the ex-
ample of Philip of Spain, when he con-
ferred great land grants in England upon
his Catholic subjects, the only condition
being that they should 60 there and dig.
possess the actual occupiers, who hap
pened to be rather ugly customers. The
Mexican Government has in the same way
given large tracts OF country it never had
possession of, and to which it has 20 more
title or right than the United States has
to the lands which it filched from the In.
dians. The next step in the colonizing
programme will naturally be an organiza-
ton to light and exterminate the Sonora
Indians, who have committed the high
crime of occupying lands iusted after by
white land so called civilized) men.

The APPROPRIATION BILL.

The Committee of Free Conference yes
terday succeeded in reaching an agreement
on the disputed items of the appropriation
bill, and their report was accepted by both
chambers, and the bill as modified Passed.
The Senate roceded from its refusal to al.
low the salary of the State Engineer and
the sum appropriated for the completion
of the irrigation inquiry, though the
appropriation for the latter was cut down
from $50, 600 to $4,000 Several other
comparatively unimportant changes were
made, concessions being offered by both
sides, and 50 agreement was made possible.
1t now remains 10 solve the same problem
in connection with the tax levy bill,
and here the difficulties will be very
much greater, since there is dif.
ference of over $500, 600 on the educa-
tional question, and the Sears amendment
also looms up as practically hopeless OBJ
struction. Unless that amendment is
withdrawn the prospect is that no agree
ment can be reached, and it is already GER
tain that no apportionment bill can be
passed while there remains any doubt on
this head. The Conference Committee
have gone smoothly enough over the pre-
liminary work, but now they are getting
into the hard places, and their task will
be a stiff one. If they reach an agreement
on the tax levy bill there will have to be
very pronounced weakening en- one side
or the other, aud SO far there has been no
indication of surrender in regard to the
cardinal points.

THE LOSS OF THE DoTTERIL.

The loss of the English sloop-of-war
Dotterel is still mystery, though the
latest accounts indicate that it was not
caused by torpedo in the water, but by
an explosion occurring on board. No
doubt, however, it is difficult to establish
even SO much with accuracy, for when a
vessel is torn asunder by great explo-
sion, and sinks instantly, as in this case,
it must be almost impossible for the sur
vivors to locate the cause Of the disaster,
OR even to say with any positiyeness
whether it was inside or outside the ship.
An explosion in the coal bunkers, commu-
nicated to the magazine, would have de-
stroyed the Dotterel as she was destroyed.
a torpedo would have produced the same
general effects. The probability is that
the exact truth may never be ascertained,
for of course the handful of survivors can
only guess at the origin of the explosion,
and if there were really torpedoes adrift
in the neighborhood the government to
which they belonged will be very apt to
repudiate them, lest it should be called
upon to pay the damages.

A HEROIC SACRIFICE.

Near Pittsburg, March oath, two work.
men on the Baltimore and Ohio Road gave
4 wonderful evidence of their fidelity, de.
liberateiy choosing death to themselves in
order TO protect the lives OF hundred
others who were in the cars OF the CON-
pany. About $50 o'clock in the after
noon, John Sullivan and his brother
Michael were at work on the track near
Demmier Station. John Sullivan was the
section boss of the subdivision between
McKeesport and Port Perry, and he had
made q tour along the track to see II every
thing was in proper condition. he found
rail that was not quite straight; SO he
and his brother took heavy truckmans
crowbar, and lifted the rail up to straighten
it. While they were busily at work the
afternoon accommodation train bound east,
with heavy load of passengers, came
along. There was curve Just below the
place where the men were working. and
they did not see the train until it was
almost upon them. They took in
the situation at glance. The rail which
they had been fixing was lifted up, and the
huge crowbar was wedged tightly in such
position that the train would certainly be
thrown from the track unless the bar was
removed On one side of the track was
hill, and on the other steep bank running
down to the river, so if the train was
thrown from the track while under
full Roadway OF steam, there would
undoubtedly be an appalling loss OF life.
The men seized the bar and began fran
tically to pull and twist it about. The
engineer of the train saw them, but could
not stop. He says that their efforts to
free the crowbar and lower the rail were
frantic and like the workings of madmep,
and they seemed to forget their own dan
ger. The bar was loosened and the rail
lowered just as the train reached it, but
the men who had done SO nobly paid dear
ly for their daring The engine struck
them and killed John instantly, and
mangled Michael so frightfully that he
died in short time. The men were mar
ried and leave families.

THE FRENCH AND THE BEr.

A Coon IDEA.-In the schools of Port.
lnad, Maine, special effort has been made
to improve the ability of pupils to speak
and write correctly their own language.
From the lowest classes of the primary
schools, where the children are taught
script letters, written exercises are i'm.
posed daily throughout the whole course
As the study of technical grammar was
found to be hindrance rather than an aid
to the requirement of language, the
authorities have reduced ito narrow
limits. They have attempted to make the
correct use OF language rather than the an.
alysis of sentences the principal object of
school work, and to substitute practical
illustrations OF the principles OF grammar
in place OF abstract rules and definitions.
To ol.ain better results from the reading
classes, fresh supplementary reading has
been introduced in the schools, and with
excellect effect. In their efforts to dis.
courage shams and examining, the authorl-
ties have abolished daily marking in all
the schools, have reduced the written tests
one half, and have encouraged teachers to
determine the value of their instruction by
the,ability of the pupils to master princi-
pies rather than to repest definitions or
solve puzzles. Altogether the record OF
the past year in Portland Is good one,
and is commended to the consideration of
other cities.
