National Birthday
london Times.

A time comes when the best people
are content rather than DESTROYS to be
older. The years cease to give, and be-
gin 10 take away. One birthday is re-
membered sorrowfully, for it has be-
birthdays multiply They ramify into
new birthdays. a time at last arrives
when the birthday once celebrated with
offerings, and plum cake, and pretty
speeches, and little performances, and
a holiday from lessons, uses I'M
noticed, at least unoEserved. 1t is a
pits when it is so, yet sometimes it
cannot be otherwise. Now, all this is
just our less happy state in comparison
with the younger family of the United
States. We have no national birthdays
anniversaries, or centenaries Of any
kind. Speaking generally, no child Of
any class, high or low, from the child
of the Duke to the child of the labor
er, could name the day on which any
great event in our history occurred
even though duly crammed with the
year. Such ignorance is not thing to
be proud Of, especially as it goes much
further, and a very large part of the

most English minds. We can only
carry SO many centuries in our minds,
and we have not room for the latter
ones. The United. States begins its
reckoning where we have left it off,
and with it the eighteenth century still
lives and brcathes. Nor is this the
only account to be given of the advan-
tages the Americans have over us.
Parties have always ragged furiously in
this class divided country. Politically,
we have been a divided family, the
Americans a united one With some
exceptions they have all been bound
together by common principles Of
equality and freedom, and by the
same glorious vision of worldwide
commonwealth. Every century, every
year, brings them nearer that consum-
nation. In our own country not a
controversy could be named that
would not rouse a controversy. AS
there were two opinions at the time,
so would there be now

Guiteau,s Counsel

A correspondent of the Milwaukee
Republican and NeWs, writing from Chi

Trude, IS to undertake the defense of
the assassin, Guiteau. Who is Trude?
Well, let the Milwaukee folk who don't
know of Trude step around to the Of
fees of the Chicago, Milwaukee and st.

will not forget the 100000 robbery of

they will remember the young man
who defended and acquitted him.
Trudc is western genius who has I'M
dertaken the case of Guiteau, not from
any desire to figure in the public eve
but partly out of prof, ssional charity
and partly from his love of big fight
in the criminal courts. Trude is rich
now, the attorney for the Chicago Times
and the Chicago Tribune, and, in Ger
tain class Of eases, has a yearly retainer
to represent every railroad that enters
this city. But he was not always thus"
He came originally from New York
state, and began at the bottom, the very

What Will Not Science Yet DO.

With reference to the accomplish
ments and the glory of science, Edward
Atkinson says that if we can send
thought and light over wire fastened
To posts; and if we can attach 10 the
same post another wire by which to
transmit electric power, so that every
farmer may keep Il small thunder

der, milk his cows, churn his butter.
split his kindling wood, and do all the
heavy work about the house; in short.
il we are to accomplish here what is
now being done in France, that is, op-
crate an electrical machine by small
water power on the farm, and run the
plows, harrows, harvesters and thresh-
ers Ivy electricity; if these things begin
that one gets considerably mixed up in
attempting TO describe them, and is not
quite sure what relation his parts of
speech bear 10 each other, why then,
perhaps, the millennium Of the econo-
mist Is nearer at hand than it has been
supposed to be-"the time when intel
ligence and integrity and very mod
crate amount Of labor will insure 50

age look back twenty, thirty or forty
years. and make comparison of them
with now, and he cannot fail to be as

made. and 1t IS but reasonable to sup
pose that the same space of time in
the future Will make greater advances

with the opinion expressed by physi-
clan, that III all ordinary cases there is

traordlnary Summer drouths is steadi-
~ extending. and must receive a new
impulse from the prevailing drouth

will in time bring down the price of
butter, because farmers will steadily

strongly in this direction. Still smother

advances have already been made in

4 Damaged Beauty.

Miss Louise Montague. the celebrated
"Lalla Rookah" of Forepaugh's circus,
filed the suit yesterday for damages
against the Louisville 4 Nashville rail-
road, concerning her intentions to do
which much has been written in the pa
perS. She says IN her petition that She
got or board u train of cars run by the
defendant at Bowling Green, about 10
o'clock on the night of September -:
that almost as soon as she stepped on
the platform the train started off at
high rate of speed, and ran into some
other cars which had been left on the
track, producing wreck, in which she
was caught and her left limb bruised
and lacerated and the flesh torn; that at
the time she was an actress in Adam
Forepaugh's circus, receiving 1888 a
week and travelling expenses, that by
reason of the accident to her she has
been confined for four weeks, suffering
great bodily and mental pain, losing
her salary and mourning great expense
for treatment and assistance: that it
viii be long time before she will be
able 10 fulfill her duties as an actress,
and, besides, after she RECEIVERS the
limb will still appear SCARED and mu-
tilated, and will be 3 source of great
discomfort and great pecuniary loss to
her. In consideration Of all of which

four months delay of the Ottawa au-
thorities. But that would be q very
low estimate of the actual loss. The
Halifax award was very much IN favor
or the states, and a revaluation would.
OF course, give Canada increased COM
pensatlon, even if the privileges claimed
and exercised by the American fisher
men were not III excess of thsse which
the arbitrator reckoned on. But the
Washington government in the Fortune
bay affair put an Interpretation on the
treaty that gives the American fisher
men privileges for which the award was
not intended TO pay Canada. That in
depreciation was more or less distinctly
recognize as correct by the Gladstone
government, consequently revalua-
ton would give the dominion largely
increased annual rental for the tiShe-
ries.
Though justice requires the earliest
possible exclusion of the American
fishermen from the enjoyment of
rights for which their government has
not paid, there would be in this coun-
try some good-natured reluctance to TO
take action if the Gloucester fishermen
had not presumed to bluff" the Do
minion. Fondly imagining that they
will be allowed to poach in British wa
tiers. they have been instructed by the
notorious Batson to request the Wash
ington government to give the required
two years notice They hope to take
fish where they please, and at the same
time to exclude the Canadian fish
from the states by prohibitory duties.
Not moment should be lost in taking
them Al their word.
1t may be doubted whether Canada
should again agree to let the Ameri-
cans enjoy admission TO the fisheries
for sum to be fixed by arbitration
Perhaps the best course would be
to rigidly keep the grounds for our
own people till our neighbors agree to
pay fair money price named by the
Canadian government, or to enter into
some other arrangement satisfactory
to this country. Were that course
taken, the reimposition of American
duties on Canadian fish or fish prod
ucts would not injure Canadian fisher
men in the least, while they would be
freed from competition, and thus ena-
bled to extend their operations very
greatly. But whatever course may be
ultimately followed, it is absurd that
the Americans should be allowed to go
on catching fish for which they have
not paid. 1t is not now possible to pre-
vent them exercising that privilege for
four mon his in 1888, but notice should
be Immediately given that they will be
allowed to take advantage of Canada

Peck 5 Sun.

BY recent change in the curriculum
of the high school, Greek has been
dropped from the studies, though Latin
is still retained, and city paper re-
CARDS the dropping of Greek mistake.
We think SO, too. Years ago we held
old fogy notions upon educational mat
tiers and thought that English ought to
be taught in the public schools. Ii
seemed to us that as English was the
language of the country and the Eng
llsh sciences the only ones used in bust
ness, 1t could not do children any par
tlcular harm to teach them a little
English occasionally to- much, so
that it would interfere with their Greek
and Latin, painting, drawing and dane
ing, but enough SO that they could buy
two yards of factory cloth ut eight cents
a yard and feel satisfied in their minds
that the two yards came to sixteen cents.
We were running little country paper
at that time, and work as hard as ever
we might, we could not make any
money, and we could not account for
it: One day We dropped into school
examination. where Latin was being
peeled oil i'll great flakes, and Greek
was being talked like man filing cir
cular saw. We saw at once where we
were making our life a failure and
wasting our energies, and we returned
to the office, resolved 10 remedy the
defect. We opened on the public in
the next issue with plenty of Latin and
Greek, and the effect was wonderful.
The public had been suffering for lust
that kind Of thing, and the edition was
exhausted. Subscribers began to pour
in from all quarters; We enlarged the
paper and came to Milwaukee, still
crowding its columns with Latin and
Greek. The public knows the rest.
Money has flowed in upon us SO that
we have to keep man with splint
broom at the door to sweep it back.
This is what Latin and Greek has done
for us, and we can truthfully say that
we had rather see Il boy able to write
a beautiful essay in Creek, any time,
than to see him hanged for horse steal
ing. 1t is more creditable to him.

The Outlook for Butter.

Mr.. J.. B. Arnold writes as follows in
the New York Tribune: "Four-fifths of
all the companies in the United States
formed for the manufacture of butter
inc have gone to the wall, making a to-
tai loss of almost 5000, 900 of capital.
and those which have not failed have
not made much show of prosperity.
Where the toes of nearly every foot
print point into a cave, prudence would
suggest it as not safe place to enter.
If one IS already well established in the
business, the prospects for the man
ufac ure of butterlne six months or a
year ahead are good. On account Of
the extensive drouth now prevailing,
butter is very certain to be high
enough to admi of profit on butter
inc. But another year the situation
may be changed. Butter may be plen-
tiful and low when butter substitutes
would stand poor chance Butterine
cannot complete with cheap butter 1t
must sell some ways below genuine
butter, and when the latter is low there
Is not room enough between cost and
the drop below butter to leave any
space for profit. | was in the works of
tllG w CSIE1h
at Cincinnsti few weeks ago. and was
there told that it had not been paying
to manufacture much during the past
Summer because butter was so low,
but when butter came up. about the
middle OF August, they began TO extend
their operations.
l think il very sure that butter will
average lower and lower as time passes
till finally it will crowd all butter sub
stitutes to the wall. The reason for
this opinion Is based on the fact that
dairymen all over the country are ex-
erting themselves as they have never
done before to reduce the cost of pro-
ducing milk. They are doing this. first
by improving their milking stock.
Progress Is very rapid IN this direction
There IS general waking up In this re-
spect which must steadily tell on the
cost of milk and consequently the price
of butter, by changing small mixers
for larger ones which can produce milk

THE FISHERIES AGAIN.
= Canadian Complaint OF Delay in
Terminating the Agreement

The award Of TIE Halifax fishery ar
bitrators was that the United States
should pay Canada and Newfoundland
So 500, 600 for the right to fish in Brit
ish North American waters Tor twelve
years The Washington treaty provided
that the clauses giving fishery rights to
the Americans and to the Canadians the
rights of sending fish and fish products
into the states free of duty, should have
force for ten full years, after the end
of which period either party could, by
giving two years notice of a wish
to end the agreement, bring it to
a conclusion. Four months have
elapsed since the Canadian govern
ment could have caused the Wash
ington government to be notified, yet
no action has been taken. The matter
should at once be attended to. At the
rating of the Half commission, the
value of the concessions received by
the states exceeded the value of the
concessions made by them by the sum
of S45S, 1873 each year. Consequently,
Canada has lost over SIS, 600 by the
