NI.lGARA.

A few DAYS ago in answer 70 az inquiry IN the
Dominion Parliament as tc the progress OF
negotiations with the State OF New 1Ork IN re-
sDcct to the presery alton of the scenery OF
Niagara Falls, Sir John Macdonald said that no
progress had been made, but IT was expected
"that legislation would take place during the
"Drr,cnt session OF the Newly orll Legislature,
"iavolablc to the purpose" We are glad that
Sir John has had reason to think 50, Tor the
slight interest apparently taken in the matter at
ALBANY had left us in some fear that it might
agaiu be neglected.
II is the universal opinion OF all who have
Given any consideration 10 the conditions that
unless some action Is taken by the State the
result will in a few years be exceedingly dis
graceful to u.s. The Board appointed to adj
wise the Legislature was composed OF men emf
npntly entitled to respect and confidence.
There may be room for question whether their
sole recommendation that "A judicial inquiry
should be male "a to the valrc Ot certain lands,
n a step toward wise legislative consideration
of the problem, is the u. ST and only thing now
10 be done: but, If not, the credit Of the State
at least demands that the subject should be
taken Up with an earnest purpose ana receive
efficient AMI dgniiicd discussion.
The question is one of Worldwide interest,
and decent regard for the opinions OF the many
eminent statesmen and men OF letters, science
md art who have urgel It's consideration
should present its being treated Supcriously.

SOCIALIST RATINGS.

Objection has been made to the publca-
ton in respectable newspapers of the pro-
ccedings Of the Socialists and Communists
who rejoice at transformations and include
murder among tho most potent agencies OF
political reform. 1t is SAID that the publicity
bestowed upon the raylngs OF these people gives
them the notoricty they SEEK elcyates them
into factitous importance, and tends to social
decentralization by famill"rzing the public mind
with the idea Of murder as factor of modern
political progress. We dissent from the prop
osition. There may be times when the berry
brutalities of the Justus Schwabs and their
tribe are dangerous to public order. We
were so near the crumbling edge of such an
occasion few years ago that it was deemed
necessary, not to represS their utterances or
suppress their public demonstrations, but TO
take note of them, watch them and be pre-
pared for any disturbance of the peace
to which the free indulgence in III
flammatOry Orat0Iy and rage-inspiring
beer might lead. But that was an
exceptional period. And even then the
freedom-almost license-that was permitted
them, and the publicity given their deirious
rawlings against all laws except mob-law,
served as a safety valve to an unwholesome
excitement, instead Of kindling or increasing
it, 1t is true that most of these people have
an insatiate craving for notoriety, and that
the publicity they get answers this passion in
some degree. But what they desire even
more is to be considered dangerous, and given
the not inconvenent mnrtyrdom of being
muzzled.
We may set it down as q pretty invariable
rule that the men who are so ready to
talk would be slow to fire bombs, and
that they who pass resolutions Of the most
scarlet type touching tyrannicide are in no
danger whatever of killing any kings them
selves. Mr.. Justus Scbwab himself, who, if
resolutions had been hand grenades, or his
month musket. his chin trigger and words
bullets, would by this time have had Erebus
three deep with kings and not mon
arch left except Gambrinus; even be would
not leave OFF selling five centS worth of beer
to kill q king himself. He approves king
killing as IN abstract proposition, because he
considers kings Questionable. Doubtless If it
