But such blunder as this is always sure 70
excite great deal Of unpleasant feeling.

If the dispatches from that ominousiy nameu
Mace. Tombstone, Arizona, are founded Oh
fact the dangers from Indians In the South
west are not so entirely over as General CROOK
believes. 1t is reported that some Apacnes
have been making raids near by in mexico

Of the Indians would not be toned down In
telling.
The agreement with NJ. de Lesseps respect
ing the Suez Canal, instead of being regarded
as brilliant success for Mr.. Gladstone's MIL
istry, as the earliest dispatches led US to con-
slider it, is extremely unpopular In England
1t was preached at a time when puonc feei-
ing was prejudiced against France In cohse-
quence of the Madagascar disclosures ana Tue
eagerness with which the Suez Company rati-
fed it has tended to intensity popular distrust.
The details of the agreement moreover snow
that while reductions of tolls are provided Tor,
they are nominal rather than substantial; and
consequently the chief grievance OF the com
mercial community has not been redressed.
The English people seem to look upon the
Suez Canal as a legitimate conquest, which
practically belongs to them Egyptian law or
no Egyytiar law. Mr.. Gla.lstone's admission
that NJ. de Lesseps has monopoly OF the
rights of transit in the Isthmus, irritates them
beyond measure. But monopoly was what
Nj. de Lesseps bareained for in Cairo, ana
monopoly was what he got under Egyptian
law and unless Wolseley's campaign implied
conquest and conquest repeats Egyptian law
a monopoly is what remains to this day.

coIleoe has become so thoroughly convinced
that the best work In science is to be done
only on basis Of thorough grounding In
the classics that it has determined to discon-
Time its scientific as separate from its classical
course. There are undoubtedly many other
;nstructors who can corroborate this view.
We know il to be o fact that in several COL
leees Especial courses" of study, based on
SLIGHT knowledge Of Latin and no knowledge
of Greek. have been abandoned for similar
reasons
The ultimate effect of Mr.. Adams's attack,
therefore, is likely to be to strengthen the
hold of the classical course upon our college
system. This is a result which will be grail
fying not only to friends of sound learning,
but to thoughtful Americans generally.
What we need IN this country is not
merely more education but better and
higher education. The class of really well-edu-
Gated men is too small for the demands which
are made for qualified leaders of thought in the
various branches of public affairs. Foreign
critics say OF us that we all have little educa-
ton and few of us real learning. 1t is idle 10
deny the truth of the criticism. II we are
going to make any changes therefore, let us
make them in the direction OF raising our edu-
cational standard rather than lowering it. we
do not for q moment intend to intimate that
MIR. Adams wishes to lower the standard. lie
maintains that his plan would not have that

4 WORD TO GLOUCESTER FISHERMEN

Gloucester has tho reputation of rearing un-
eoualled fishermen. A Gloucester man pre-
su,nptively is "a born fisherman, the burden OF
proof being upon him to prove that he Is not.
The atmosphere OF the quaint old town Is
tisbv. the pronounced and distinctive odor of
the streets is fshy odor. Fish lie at the
basls of the most engaging OF the Gloucester
traditions the stories most in vogue among
her oldest inhabitants are fish stories. To
carry Goals to Newcastle. or wickedness to
Paris, or politics to Washington, would not
Ina more superfiuous than TO carry fish to
Gloucester.
And therefore it is that these mournful
pieces of news that are continually being tele-
eraphed from Gloucester, telling OF the loss
of Gloucester fishermen, go far TO puzzle lands
men Some of them are reported as going
astray in fogs, others as caught IN sudden
storms, Others rs having been washed over
board others as being the victims OF leaky
boats. They all have common fate. Like
| their three comrades Of whom Charles Kingsley
| sang they "neyer came back to town." 1t IL
| to be conceded that the fact that the sea is by
| nature treacherous and the fisherman by nature
reckless, accounts for many OF these
tragedies. But the explanation, as ordinarily
understood, would hardly seem to be sufficient
| to cover all the cases that claim the public sym,
patty. Is it not quite possible that there are
| faults somewhere which have not yet been
clearly apprehended, and which if cured would
be followed by sensible decrease Of these ac-
cidentsi Last week wo published an account

The advice Of The Sun concerning the Democratic
National Convention is that II be not held at too
early day. ID agrees with Montgomery Blair
whom it describes as " one Of the wisest public men
we have ever known that " the first Of September
Is quite early enough" But doesn't that depend
somewhat upon the sort OF ticket that's to DO nom
inatcdf For instance II the old ticket, Tilden and
Hendricks. were to be nominated. 1t would DO well
to have the Convention at very early day. to
afford time to smooth things over with the anti
Iilden faction and bring the two candidates them
selves to a mutual understanding. Butif Hancock
and English were to be tho nominees the later the
day the better for tho ticket 1t would DO the part
of wisdom In that event to limit General Hancocks
opportunities for discoursng the tariff, and keep
Mr. Euglish back a. long possible from the prod
igal expenditure Of his money.

The answer of China to the recent boastful
speech of the French Minister Of Foreign
Affairs. concerning the Republics plans tor
conquest in Tonquin, is an order for three
th.nsaud Chinese troops to march to the Ton
min frontier. A much larger force can be
quickly gathered there il necessary. This
movement does not look as il pacific relations
would be maintained by France with the
Celestial Empire as easily as NJ. Chaliemel-
Lacour predicted; nor does 1t promise q
speedy settlement of the difficulties between
the two nations. Possibly, after all, France
may net defer diplo macy in the East until she
has been victorious.

The work of the Assessment Commission, of
which some account ID given elsewhere In this
issue, is as important as it is complicated. The
final report will be awaited with interest by all
who are acquainted with the iniquitous pro-
visiops of many of our present tax laws. 1t can
NOT fail to contain much that will be suggestive
to,eejslatorr who are anxious to give the people
lust assessment legislation. Meanwhile, 1t
may be remarked, the work goes on only slowly.
This is In o degree unavoidable. because the
Commissioners are men OF extensive business
and political interests-Mr. Cooper and Mr..
Kelly, for instance. Still, an effort ought to be
made by them to avoid asking from the Legis-
Iature or the courts an extension of time
beyond February, 1884, which is the date
ending the duties of the Commission.
