excellence Of the general reader" and his
experience among us confirmed him, he
says, In the suspicion that the general
reader Is by no means such fool as some
wiscacrcs seem to think. 1t certainly seemed
to this observer that in America tho reading
clnss, the class of those who read
widely and intclligcntly but not deeply,
form larger element Of tho whole
population than they do in England.
On the other hand, ho found tho class Of
those who read really deeply, the class OF
professed and approved scholars, much
smaller in proportion than it is in England.
Prof. FREEMAN il careful to add however
that America has men Of sound learning in
various fields OF knowledge, OF whom no
land need be ashamed, and that ut Harvard
choice OF intellectual society may be well
satisfied with his companions.
On the whole, Prof. FREEMANs impressions
strike us as more creditable to tho candor
and insight of the observer than any which
we remember to have seen published by any
other English traveller in the United States
We shall therefore look forward with more
than ordinary interest to the comments on the
local differences in the use Of the English lam
guage which he remarked while among us,
and which he purposes to point out ut some
future time. We know beforehand that we
have nothing disagrceable to hear on this
head, since he has already told us that Amcri-
cans speak English better than Scotchmen,
or even than the Engishmen who are natives
of Yorkshire or Of Northumberland.

Gov. Cornell Explains.

We copy in another part OF this paper an
explanation which Gov. CORNELL has made
to reporter of the Times concerning the
alleged attempt Of Mr.. CoNKLING to bribe
him, and concerning the stock transactions
reported by Mr.. JAY GOULD and Mr. A. B.
JOHNSON.
The Governor contradiots the report OF the
Albany Euening Journal that Mr.. CoNKLING
and MIR. GOULD tried to bribe him. No such
attempt was made, No offers of money or
stocks were held up to him as temptation.
He believes that II he had done what GOULD
and CoNKLING desired in the matter OF tho
Elevated Tax bill he would have had their
support, whereas now he has their oppo-
sition. This Is the whole OF the alleged at
tempt of bribery according to Mr.. CORNELL.
AS for the speculation in American Dis
trict Telegraph stock referred to by Mr.. A.
b. JOHNSON, Gov. CORNELL admits that such
speculation took place, and that he man
aged it. 1t was terminated, he says, without
loss to the stockholders, and each person got
back the money he had invested, with small
profit. Moreover, the Governor says that he
never advised any one to buy American Dis
trict stock when he himself was selling.
AS for the blind pool in which Mr.. GOULD,
Mr.. SAGE, and Mr.. DILLON were parties,
there was nothing in it except an agreement
that such pool should be formed, but not
dollar was ever put up, nor was any purchase
made. 1t was project that was never exc
cutcd.
This may or may not be satisfactory to
the political and personal friends OF Gov.
CORNELL who lost heavily on American Dis
trict Telegraph stock ut the time he was
operating in it. They knew that he was on
gagged in buying up the majority of the
stock, and they went in upon that side but
they did not know when he was selling and
did not find 1t out until the price Of their
holdings was knocked down to about one
half of what they had paid for them.
Gov. CORNELL is clearly too much Of a
stock operator to be nominated for Governor
i'll 1892, if the nominee is to be elected.
One Of the most interesting points in this
statement is the oXoneration of Mr. CoNK-
LING from the charge of attempted bribery.
1t is now clear and indisputable that all that
Mr.. CoNKLING did in the matter was to make
an argument as counsel before tho Governor.
There was no bribery nor any suggestion of
bribery in his part of the affair. AS we said
before, he is not made of that kind OF mate
rial. On this point Mr. CoRNELL's testimony
is conclusive

The Proposed Removal of MIR. Roebling.

To our suggestion that no good will result
from the substitution of Mr. MARTIN for Mr.
RoEBLING as chief engineer OF the Brooklyn
Bridge, our esteemed contemporary, the
Netr York Times, responds as follows:
There is disposition on the part OF Mayor Low
those who act with him to hold Mr. RoEBLiNG responsible
for the interminable delays which have been and
interposed to the completion OF the bridge But tho
general public, long he retains the title, not the
place. OF chief engineer is very ky to visit him with
kind OF criticism which q sick man should not be
exposed"
If Mr.. Low did not intend by his resolution
to convey the idea that Mr.. RoEDLINd is to
some extent responsible for the delays which
have occurred in the construction OF the
bridge he has been much misunderstood. 1t Is
true he said, apologctically, e do not wish to
charge all the delays OF which have spoken
nor any of them, let us say-upon Chief
Engineer RoEDLING;" but this very language
implied that, while unwilling to accuse Mr..
RoEBLrNG specifically, he. deemed him really
responsible.
In this view the Mayor may be entirely
right. Yet no reform will be effected by call
ing Mr.. MARTIN chief engineer instead OF
Mr.. RoEBL1NG. II a change in the engineer
ing management is needed, 1t must be made
more sweeping in order to accomplish any
thing That which Mayor Low proposes will
be merely nominal.
We cannot believe that the purpose Of the
contemplated removal is to shield Mr.. RoEB-
LING against public criticism to which sick
man should not be exposed. How any kind
OF criticism could injure him more than the
adoption of Mayor Lows resolution we do
not quite see

1t was almost impossible to cheat The boys OF Genoa
found very queer way to get out of trouble During
the examination. while the boys struggling with
their grammars and dictionaries, fine ladys voice
heard IN the street singing very loud and beautifully the
popular song La Stella Conndente" As soon the
singing began the boys noticed writing very quick

sang the literal translation of very hard passage OF

Not long ago British military writer
urged more general substitution of mules for
horses in the transportation of army supplies.
He based his ideas on the experience OF Ameri-
can campaigning. The LOADING of 500 mules
on steamer at Philadelphia. designed for SER
vice in Egypt. shows that this view. which is a
very sensible one finds favor there; and per-
haps also 1t may stimulate the American mule
market IL the war lasts long enough. 1t would
be still wiser for the British Government to
export with the mules some Of those American
adopts at army transportation who have per-
formed extraordinary feats in Indian cam
pagning at the West. by their expertness in
the organization and handling OF mule trains.

The decline in the exports of provisions
and dairy products. which was so prominent
an element in the great aggregate falling Off
OF our last years sales to foreign countries,
has not yet ceased The Bureau of Statistics
shows that for July. the first month of the new
fiscal year, these exports were nearly thirty
per cent. smaller than for the July preceding:
while during the first seven months of the
present calendar year they had fallen to less
than sixty millions. whereas in tho correspond
ing part OF 1881 they were nearly eighty-three
millions. The dairy products for the three
months ending July 81 had also fallen of q
third from those Of last year; yet it will be
remembered that the decline in exports had
then already become manifest. There is little
prospect OF aay change Of imuortanes untu
