WH1T THE TIMES ISN'T.

Occasionally an eccentric friend deprecates
our use of the Christening rod upon the shrink
ing shoulders of The Times. 40, come now" he
says, stay your hand. To be sure The Times
:" has been steadily knitting the Republican
Sparty in season and out of season, Sundays
"aud holidays included, during the last year /;
1--WE do not forget that the most conspicuous
sand honored of our New-YOrk Republican
aleaders have been wantonly abused by il /;
"yes we distinctly remember that frenzcd by its
seal for Cleveland it charged in effect that the
"Repuhlican party of this State was cOnspiring
against the purity of the ballot box. But,
"then don't you see that The Times has re
aformed and is now an earnest exponent OF Re
apubicansm Let up now. Put away your
"cudgel"
To such a tender-hearted and tender-headcd
friend The TRIBUNE would say that it had not
observed that The Times has repented and has
become au exponent of the Republican faith
That faith found expression in the Saratoga
platform. The platform insists that American
labor and our diversified American industries
shall be protected. But The Times continues
to do its best for the cause OF free trade. The
platform sharply criticises President Cleve-
lands administration. But if The Times could
have had its way the Republican convention
would have indorsed Mr.. Cleveland The plat
form was built on the theory that the return Of
the Republicans to power in the Government
was contamination dcvoutly to be wished.
But The Times in supporting Mr.. Cleveland is
laboring to perpetuate the Democratic restora-
ton which was accomplished last year. 1t is
worse than idle to expect that newspaper
which holds brief for the Democratic Presi-
dent, and for every colossal blunderer in his
Cabinet, Garland included, will sincerely strive
to aid the political fortunes of the Presidents
opponents.
The Times is supporting the Republican State
ticket-for purpose. That purpose is not en-
tirely uncOnnected with an insistent wolf at its
door, Its tentative reformation is for revenue

AMERICAN CIVILIZIT1ON.

Gail Hamilton discusses American Civiliza-
ton with her Characteristic vivacity in to-day's
TRIBrNE. Or course she takes q patriotic
view of the question, and Americans at least
will find much to approve in her argument.
1t is certainly true, as she says, that the truth
rs to great country such as ours cannot be
ascertained by Analysing the representatives
of one little circle in one large city. When
American civilization is talked of the first thing
to settle is precisely what is meant. People
are too apt to
"Take the murmur of their rustic burg
For the great wave that echoes round the world"
The civilization of nation of tifty-fOur
millions, made mp of so many races, living
under such diverse conditions, is not ques-
ton to be passed upon hastily even by those
whose researches and observation have been
widest and deepest. The evidences of its
vigor, extent, originality, arc not on the
surface 1t cannot be determined of hand by
a reference to literary production, nor by
school statistics, nor by the evidences of
material prosperity. The circumstance that
America does not send to the press as many
new and important books "a England or
Germany can only be employed to indicate
tendencies, not TO determine the standard of
civilization existing.
Which il the higher and stronger civilization,
for instance that which produces small
minority of highly cultivated minds and
original thinkers, with a large majority of
semi -barbarians or that which has no small
class of the highest development, but on the
other hand possesses large percentage of
intelligent, moderately educated and refined
people! In the first instance there will be
most tangible evidence of intellectual force ;
in the second, there viii be most diiluscd
culture, prosperity and happiness. In such
conditions as those last named, moreover, the
prospects for the future must be the brighter,
for the diffusion of even relatively small
degree of culture is a guarantee for quickened
educational processes in the next generation.
There is really no ground for apprehension or
dissatisfaction with American civilization. 1t
has brought the country already through tire
mendous strains. 1t has again and again risen
superior to dangerous temptations. 1t has laid
the foundations broad and deep for higher
education. As for the friyolitcs and inanities
which a few idle rich young people commit,
these are simply insignificant. Such people
arc in no true sense representative Americans.
and it is absurd to think OF them as standing
for Society. That which calls itself Society is
mere artificial accretion, n sort of theatrical
fiction. The real American Society is not
organized, but it includes all that is honorable
and true and kindly and pure and prog cssive
among the American people, and 1t has no
reason whatever to be ashamed of the civiliza-
ton which it embodies.

with Mr.. Hill is that he is unhappy If he is not
getting gain in some direction.

In regard to the Eastern situation, it looks
as if the Powers could at least settle the pres
ent difficulties If it were not for the fact that
Servia and Greece are intent on playing q
little game of grab. Servia and Bulgaria could
compromise their troubles to the territorial
advantage of the former, except that that
would block Austria's way to SalOnica,-her
objective point always; and then Greeces
claims could simply be ignored. But so far as
a final adjustment is concerned, the trouble is
that Austria and Russia can't agree on
policy of mutual compensation. They may
want to fight it out. just here glimpse OF
England's true policy may be gained. She
ought to go in with Bismarck in maintaining
Big Bulgaria under the rule of Prince Alex
ander, thereby blocking Russia's march to the
sea.

rs You are; they charge too much and, in this city
at least, give very poor service. But that
constitutes no justification for the Attorney
Generals amazing misconduct III the case He is
not aborng for philanthropy, or to help you. He
is merely trying TO stop the injunction which the
Bell Telephone Company has against his company
so that he can put rates just low
enough to get customers away from
the Bell people and enjoy q little monopoly
of his own. If Garland, Attorney -Gencral. can use
the power of the United States to pull ont of the
fire the chestnuts belonging to Garland, holder of

THE VILLAGE CATHEDRAL.

Several questions have been settled since the
cathedral in Garden City was cOnsecrated
Those who predicted that IN expensive service
would be rendered in a costly church for the
benefit of a few scattered wOrshppers have
been surprised by the steadiness of the attend
ance. The village cathedral has been uni
formly filled with congregation as large rs
ordinarily gathers in city church. The music
moreover, has been of a high order of excel
lence. Those who considered it more than
doubtful if arrangements could be made for n
musical rendering of the service that would
compare favorably with the music heard in
English cathedrals or in Old Trinity New York
have been astonished by the results of few
months careful training A critical observer
may perhaps object to the number of anthems
sung ut each service and regret that hymns are
not sometimes substituted for them but the
general effect of the cathedral music is grand
and impressive.
In another respect the forebodings of many
critics of this cathedral enterprise have not
been fulfilled. There has been sound business
sagacity displayed in the management of the
diocesan interests involved. The annual en-
dowment of $15,0 900 has been most judiciously
used. The committees representing the Long
Island diocese realized that the most important
and necessary work at the outset was the
adoption of measures tending to make the
cathedral an educational centre. The schools
connected with the cathedral have been COM
pletely recognized and placed on q self-sustain-
ing oasis. The great building erected by Mrs.
Stewart as q model school for boys now

Here is another dreadful evil about to be
inflicted on this poor country through the ty-
rannicai protective tariff system! Certain silk
manufacturers of Europe. disheartened by the
trade there, are thinking of investing several
million dollars in America in establishing silk
factories. They admit that they would have
to pay higher wages here than abroad, but be-
lieve they can pay them and still make money.
American workmen who thus zee the chance of
more work before them will, of course, be
greatly Disguised with a tariff system that
brings such state of affairs about.

The elections which take place to-day in
France are particularly interesting because
they are the first to be held under the new
system of department lists. The Republicans
are divided between Ferry and the Radicals.
Without doubt the latter will carry Paris, and
even NJ. Brison may not get seat there. The
probabilities are, however, that on the second
ballots the old Opportunists will secure ma
1ority of the Deputies. 1t is worthy of note
how small part Brisson and De Frey ciner have
taken in the canvass.

Secretary Whitney has received suggestions from
q special commission respecting the five new vessels
which he is authorized to build for the Navy.
There are two questions which the naval experts
have not been sufficiently discourteons to discuss.
First how can these vessels lie built economically.

the cruisers wcre moro than 100000 below the

To put it as mildly as possible the dis
closures of David b. Hills relations to Tweed
in The Elmira Gazette business, and to the old
canal claims, have not shown the Governor to
be man with a fine sense of professional

with the suit to take from Cornell University

tenant-Governor when the proceedings to
break Mrs. Fishes will were begun, and by
virtue of his Office was trustee of the uni
yersity. But that did not prevent him from

A descriptive article and a cut on the tenth
page of this paper will give the reader a clear
idea of the mine which is to be exploded this
week under Flood Rock at He'll Gate. The
work has been going on for years. out of sight
and out of mind of most everybody but at
length the explosives, 100000 pounds, are all
in place, and the final crash may come proba-
bly, on Wednesday. There is no danger to be
apprehended for the city. The shock may be
somewhat greater than the one which was felt
when the first mine was touched off in Septem-
Der, 1876; but beyond rafting the windows
near by, the composure Of the vicinity will
probably not be disturbed.

A curious cxpermen: is about to be made IN Eng
land. Lady Granville Gordon and a distinguished
graduate of Girtou College are to open stores Tor
dressmaking and millinery, their nam purpose
being. not to mako money. but TO encourage ma
tional taste IN dress and to found, If possible, a
distinctly English school. The results of the en-
terprise will be awaited with good deal Of inter-
est, though the probabilities are not strongly III
favor of its success. The presumption is that
Fashion, in decresing that Paris should be the olc-
tator in matters of dress had no regard to patrloc
sentiment Ii can hardly be maintained that
French taste was given the palm because OF It's
superiority seeing that the principal designer OF
costumes in Paris is an Engiishman. Possibly Lady
Goldons social position and rank may give her
store n certain vogue. Possibly also She
and the Girton graduate may succeed by sheer
force of genius. But it is extremely doubtful
whether Englishwomen can be Taught to buy
English designs solely because they are English,
or even because they nre picturesque. Women Will
usually accept really ugly costumes or garments II
only they are supposed to be stylish" and reason
and Judgment have so little to do with matters OF
this kind that it is impossible to say how such an
experiment will be received. Should 1t succeed 1t
will certainly snow that the suppressed sex Is
advancing in civilization in Great Britain.
