trial, a motion to dismiss the complaint on
the ground that Jones could not be held to
liability AS a stakeholder in the Times, was

from the judgment to common pleas which
reversed it. The opinion of the Court de-
clares that the law does not impose a liabil

The papers Of the Dominion OF Canada
express a good deal Of dissatisfaction with
the settlement effected in the Fortune Bay
matter, and particularly with the British
authorities for what they call want Of
firmness. Well, all they can do about it
is to pout little. When the home
government takes the affairs OF
Canada in hand it manages them
just as it pleases whether the
Canadians like it or not. A plum in
in the shape OF railroad subsidy or lit
tie naval display at Halifax, by the moth
er government. will 50 tickle the Cana
dams that they will forget all the sights
and insults complained Of. and be as loyal
and humble and submissive as though
nothing had happened to trouble them.

The Enronean Timher SnnnIr.

The timber trade of Europe shows the
same excess of demand over the supply
that exists here. Sweden and Norway,
which still do a large export trade in
deals, are now compelled to buy their
oak in Poland; and in Russia the forests
along the shores OF the Baltic, in Fin
land, and in the southern provinces, are
so rapidly thinning that the forest acre
age of the empire is now only one in ten.
There are about 100000 acres
of forest in Germany (of which 10000,
600 are IN Prussia, estimated to be
worth $500, 600 600, and bringing in an
income of e1O, 900, 900 per annum. The
state forests are taken great care of in
all parts of Germany, in Prussia alone
100000 being spent every year in
replanting. The imports of timber ex-
coed the exports by over 1000. 900 tons.
The oak and beech are the kinds of trees
which do best in Denmark, but the tim
Der trade of that country is very small.
In Germany, as mentioned above, the
imports exceed the exports; but in Aus
tria-Hungary the latter are "a. 600, 900
more than the former; while in France
the annual imports are estimated at
e8S, 600, 600, and the exports 81, 200 900;
and in Belgium at 81, 200, 900 and $3.50,
600 respectively. England buys about
go. 500, 600, and Holland about Sc, 1000,

The Cotton Crop.

Ellison's annual report states that the
consumption of cotton in England and
Europe for 1881 is 6,OS4,OOO bales; for
1880, $3.50, 900 bales; for 1879, 1904, 900
bales. With regard to the supply and
needs of Europe for the next year, Mr..
Ellison makes the following estimate:
From India, Egypt, etc, 1860, 600 bales ;
from America, 4,165, 900 bales, 456
pounds each, equal to 4,74S.O 900 bales;
total requirements in bales of 400 pounds
each, SOS, 900 bales.
aThe amount stated above as required
from India, Egypt, &c, is the estimated
supply from all sources other than
America, and Mr.. Ellison concludes that
if Europe receives from America 4 1885,
600 bales of 456 pounds each, there will
be enough to supply the estimated con-
sumption of the season ending October
1, 1882, and leave the stocks on hand at
said date about the same as are now
held. The estimated consumption by
the American mills is 1850, 900 bales, so
that the mills are expected to use during
next year 6,215. 900 bales.

The Presidential Inability Question

The question of Presidential Ina
bility" is discussed at length and In
separate papers in the North American
Reriep for November by Lyman Trum-
bull, Thomas NJ Cooley, Benjamin F.
Butler and Theodore W. Dwight. The
conclusions, especially as to who are to
be the judges of such disability, are so
much at variance as to prove the neces-
sity of an amendment defining as clearly
as possible this clause of the Constitu-
ton. Judge Trumbull places the power
to act in such case upon open and no
torious public opinion. This he con-
siders to be sufficient to warrant the
Vice President in assuming the office and
serving as President. Judge Cooley be-
lieves the power to be lodged in Con-
gress. Mr.. Butler denies that either
Congress or the Supreme Court can be
Judges in the matter, but that when the
Constitution imposes a duty on any
officer to be done by him, he
must be the sole judge when
and how to do that duty. Prof.
Dwight agrees with Judge Cooley in
designating Congress as the proper au-
thority to pass upon the actual fact OF
disability. There is also another disa-
greement between these writers. 1t is
on the question as to whether, when the
disability passes away, the recovered
President resumes his functions. Prof
Dwight strongly argues that he does not,
but that the Vice President serves out
the full term. or until another election
no matter whether the former President
becomes convalescent or not. Under
this view if, during President Garfeld's
sickness, Vice President Arthur had
been called upon or had taken of his own
motion the Presidential seat, as he was
urged to do by the New York Sun and
some other papers, he would have still
kept the office, even in the event of
President Garfield being able to subse
quently resume its duties.

The many sensational articles that
have been written concerning the opium
habit in America are, it seems, but little
exaggerated. Our importations of opium
clearly prove this. In 1861 we used
100. 536 pounds; IN 1871, 315, 121 pounds,
while in 1880, $50, 451 pounds of opium
and s, S22 ounces of morphine were i'm
ported into this country at the single
port of New York. In 1876 il was esti-
mated that there were 225, 600 opium
eaters in the United States, of whom
twothirds belonged to the better class
of society, and the majority were women.
To-day there are not less than 500, 600
people given to the opium habit in this
country. In some localities the habit is
much more general than in others. In
Chicago, for instance, there are $4,000
opium eaters; in st. Louis 10000, while
in the little town Of OswegO, n. Y,
there are 400. The drug is generally
taken so secretly that no one knows Of
its use until the opium eater has reached
the last stage of the disease and is rapidly
passing away.

"Ficiion," the new periodical of the
publishers of Puck, whose aim is de-
noted by its title, contains this week
clever local sketch called "The End of
New York" This describes the break
ing out of war between the United States
and Spain in 1882, the arrival of Span
ish fleet, the battle of Fire Island, and
the bombardment of the metropolis,
which is reduced to ruins by the use of
tOrpedoes. Finally the city is compelled
to surrender and promise an immense
indemnity in money, when Chllian
fleet comes to avenge the merciless bonn
bardment of Valparaiso by the Span
iards in 1866, and demolishes the bonn
harding fleet The point of the fiction
is the wretched condition of the Ameri-
can navy, which is not a match for even
that of poor old Spain. 1t would be a
pretty rough joke for the great United
States to be avenged by little Pacific
power like Chill.

The freshest marvel Of C5binet gossip
is the announcement that in the event Of
a Readjuster victory in Virginia to-mor-
row. John S. Wise, of Richmond, who
was defeated for Congress last fall by
George D. Wise, is to betendered Cabi
net position. His selection, it is cl-imed
BY the Republicans, would encourage
the young men of the South to fall away
from Democracy. In the event Of Wise's
selection, John F. Lewis (Rep-) IS spoken
of as MahOne's colleague.
This is the latest scheme for breaking
the solid South. As its trial will depend
upon an, at best, doubtful contingency,
it would be premature to discuss its
prospects of success. In the meantime
it might profit Arthur, Jewell & Co. TO
prayerfully contemplate the cOIse-
auences Of failure after their alliance
with Reputation and hoodlumism IN
Virginia. If so much is to be gained by
victory it ought to be easy to see what
would be lost by defeat.
