4 COPYRJGHT QUESTION.

The question raised by Mr.. Stedman, in his
letter TO THE TRIBUNE yesterday, as to the
effect OF Section of the international Copy
right bill needs careful attention. That clause
dcprives the foreign author of the privilege Of
copyright in any work which shall have been
published or performed abroad one Iear before
his application Tor copyright in thH'country.
"Is not this" asks Mr.. Stedman, '' the same old
time-imitation which constituted the worst
feature of the proposed treaty of 18S02 Is it
not in effect providing that the foreigner shall
lose his rights unless he can agree with some
American publisher TO buy them of him within
a yearl The pdrpOrt of the section is not clear,
and the gentlemen who are urging the DORIS
heirner bill will do well to inquire why it was
inserted in the committee room, and precisely
what it means.
The question is what consttut a valid cap
plication for copyright. Mr.. Stedman remarks
that "the courts have settled the principle that
"an application to be legally effective must be
:" in good faith with intent to speedy publica-
"tionn y; but whether or not publication In one
country will be held sufficient to validate the
application in another country ought to be left
in no uncertainty. BY our statutes publication
is clearly essential to complete the authors
right, but publication means offering to the
public, not manufacturing. If foreign copy
right can be obtained under the Dorsheimer act
by registering the title abroad and printing the
book at home Section 6 will do no harm; it
will only require the foreigner to do within "A
year what the native author is required to do
within much shorter time. But there should
be no ambiguity upon this important point.

THE SOVEREIGNrY or THE MIND.

Recently, a striking illustration of the triumph
of mind over body was brought to the attention
of the world in the preface to Mr.. Green's last
work. "Thc Conquest of England" 1t was there
set forth how the historian of the English peo-
pie had pursued his arduous task IN spite of
the rayages of Il painful and fatal disease; how
when he was too weak TO leave his bed he
caused his works OF reference to be brought to
him there how he rcsOlutcly learned the art of
dictaton when he could no longer hold the
pen; how he fought against death for months
and years with such resolution that his physi-
clans declared him to be literally kept alive by
sheer force of will; and how, ignoring constant
and severe physical suffering, be pushed on
with his literary work to the last and only pu

The British Government now stands COM
nittcd to the defence Of Sualiim ana 10 the
rescue of the garrison of Tokar; and nom the
rapidity with which the military forces are
going forward it seems probable that another
Sunday will find a strong column OF six thou
sand veterans on the ground in readiness to'
active operations. The dispatches already con-
tain intimations that the investment of kassala
may be raised and communications be opened
across the desert with Berbcr and Khaitoum.
These rumors however, are obviously prema-
ture, for a much larger force than is now under
orderswOuld be required for campaignin them

work of pacifcaton and in this he is already
making remarkable progress. As he proceeds
toward Khartoum he is sweeping away every
yestige Of Egyptian government and is restor-
ing the political authority of native chiefs and
princes. His idea seems to be that the Sondan

This is a policy which Mr.. Gladstone can heart

sistency in allowing the Egyptian garrisons to
perish whereas he shouted himself hoarse over
the Bulgarian massacres. The parallel is not
an accurate ono. The Egyptian garrisons in
the SOadan correspond TO the Turkish OPP
presSOrs. The victims of oppression and mis-
rule are the poor Soudanese on whose behalf
General Gordon is now laboring.

MR.. GLADSTONES ESCApr

The review OF the week as given in our special
cable dispatches forecasts victory for the Glad
stone Ministry on the vote of censure. The
Tories seem to have wasted their opportunity
and to have made pitiable exhibition of de-
batting power iii the Commons. The most pow
erful speech made against the Government was
by former member Of the Liberal Cabinet,
whose vote has barely been saved for his
party by an aggressive military policy ayowed
since the debate began. Mr.. GladstOne's speech
Is pronounced ga brilliant defence of an indie
ienslble position; and if we may Judge of it by
the speclous excuses given for the neglect to
relieve Slnkat and the delay in setting British
column IN motion toward Sualdm and Tokar,
this Is an accurate estimate. The Premier will

might find comfortable homes there WITHIN con-
yenient distance of their places OF business;
and so far as Mott Haven and lower Nor
risania are concerned access to them is easy
enough. But they still seem to lack one thing
which is necessary to mako them desirable
neighborhOods for residences, and that is ad-
equate police protection. AT certain intervals
in the year these districts are given over al
most entirely into the hands of gangs OF young
ruflians who make night hjdeous and danger
Gus. Street cars are robbed, men and women
insulted, and the merciful business of physi-
clans is interrupted. When the situation be-
comes intolcrable the policemen are stirred
into activity and then matters are remedled
for while. But these brief spells OF good or

The meeting at Cooper Union in support OF

Board of Aldermen of New York and leave

siasm to be followed by inactiOn OH the part OF
the citizens who attended it. The Committee of
Fifty-three, appointed on Thursday evening to
carry into effect the win of the meeting by prop
er representations to the legislators at Albany,
have set TO work in an earnest way which will
not please the Aldermen and their friends who
hoped the movement would amount to nothing.
When thirty three out of ifty-three busy New
Workers are as promptly on hand at a committee
meeting as were the thirty-three gentlemen
who gathered in the Mills Building yesterday,
they mean business. There is no possibility
now that the members of the Legislature will
tail to understand precisely how the respect
able people of New-York feel i'll regard to the
Roosevelt municipal bill The Senators and
Assemblymen fIom this city, at least will
hardly dare act in opposition to that feeling, if
they wish to so to Albany in an official capacity
