Each additional blue book issued in England
seems to make matters worse for the Govern
ment. The last one shows how the German
Chancellor overreached Earl Granville in the
matter of the annexation of the Cameroons.
The Germans appear to have gone ahead with
ont any particular regard for the English and
to have afterward almost boosted OF their
course. Granville mildly reserves the right
to demand damages.

The recent decision of the Supreme Court on
the question of the validity of the States title
tothe Adirondack forest lands purchased at tax
sales has put new phase on the Adlrondack
matter. The practical question now seems to
be that of securing the Staten its title ofowner
ship. There ought to be no difference of opin-
ion in the Legislature on this subject; and 1t
should hasten to pass the necessary legislation.
1t is a case where every days delay may cost
the State great loss

The travelling public will be glad to learn
that the experts who have been examining the
elevated railroad structures pronounce them
ain better condition to-day than ever before"
When the city brought suit to recover taxes as
pessed on these structures, the defence claimed
that large reduction should be made because
of deterioration in the materials and the neces-
sity for a renewal. A reduction of 10 per cent
was allowed on that account. 1t seems to have
been mistake, however, as the condition OF
ths roads is growing better instead of worse.
The sudden death of Republican member of
the Illinois Legislature has seriously compli-
Gated the contest over the choice of United
States Senator 1t will take about a month to
gil the vacancy caused by this death, and in
the meantime it seems to be necessary for all
the Republicans to refrain from voting In order
to prevent the Democrats from gaining an I'M
due advantage. There appears to have been
an unseemly exhibition of joy among Demo-
craos at Albany over this unfortunate occur
renee.
The proposal to give further gratuity of
several hundred thousand dollars to the mana
gers of the New Orleans Exposition naturally
met with good deal of opposition yesterday in
the House. Mr.. Ellis denied that there had
been Encouragement, but failed to explain the
statement he made to the House last May, that
citizens of New-Orleans had subscribed and
paid in $4,000, when recent statements by
the managers show that not half that sum had
been paid in. If this proposition goes through,
then the bills to appropriate $5OO.O0O to an
exposition in Chicago and another $500, 900 to
one in st. Louis will have good claims to con-
sideratIon. For the Government to give four
times as much to an exposition as the sub
scribers who manage it Is ridiculous, partica-
larly when the Government has no control or
knowledge of the expenditures. The New-Or-
leans managers are fortunate, however, in i'm
pressing their future Importance upon aspiring
politicians.

According to The Ereang Post the Treasury
Department appears in haste to do something to

that whatever is to be done in the direction OF
