The seizure of another Portland schooner
in Dominion waters for the heinous offence
of taking in water before reporting at the
custom house seems to show that recent re-
ports that the Canadian authorities had de-
cided to pursue q more liberal policy was
incorrect. We suppose this seizure is made
for violation of the custom laws, for it can
not be claimed that the vessel was trans
crossing the treaty of 1918 in taking water
because the treaty expressly comedies the
right to enter Canadian ports for wood,
water and shelter. The case is similar to
the case of the Sisters which violated our
custom laws by coming into this port with
out manifest. The transgression in both
cases was at the most a technical one. Our
government promptly released the Sisters
without fine. The Ottawa government
ought to, and will unless it is bent on annoy
ing our vessels in every way possible, treat
the Portland schooner in the same way.

AN UNFORTUNATE MISTAKE.

AS will be seen from all interview with a
prominent Grand Army official in this
mornings GLOBE, the veterans are COM
planning that they were gouged by the rail-
roads in the matter of selling excursion
tickets to the carnival. IL is probably one
of those mistakes which occur sometimes
without anybody being directly responsible
for, and which we have no doubt will be
made ali right by the railroad companies
when the matter comes TO be understood.
AS the matter now stands each member of
the Grand Army who bought an excursion
ticket to ST. Paul last Friday is out a quar-
ter of a dollar, while the carnival association
is not benefited by it. The railroads have
the money and are not entitled to it.
While it was small sum to each indi-
vidual, still it aggregates good deal to the
railroads. Ii is not the amount of money
involved So much as it is an act of injustice
TO and discrimination against class who.
above all other people. ought TO be dealt
with fairly. The heroes of the country are
not the ones to be eXtortioned upon. And
as il is certain that there was no design on
the part of the railroads TO extOrt from
them, it is equally certain that the money
will be refunded.

THE GLOBES PULPIT.

The GLOBES pulpit this morning con-
tains two sermons of extraordinary merit.
They teach plain, impressive, beautiful
lessons which fit right in to our everyday
experiences-they are lessons which are
beneficial to mankind in every age Of the
worlds history. In his peculiar style of
word painting DR.. Talmage gives vivid
description of the tragedy Of fashion--that
abominable species Of idolatry which is
wrecking more homes than all other vicious
agencies combined.
Appropriately following the sermon
preached by DIR. TALMAGE in the Brook
Ign tabernacle yesterday morning is the
sermon preached by DR.. CHRISTIE in the
House of Hope church in this city last
evening. In his excellent discourse on the
dignity of labor, DR.. CHRISTIE sets forth
in the clearest style that the results of
honest toll are just the reverse of those of
pampered idleness so graphically described
by DR.. TALMAGE. In the latter case the
results are the destruction of domestic hap
piness, ruined fortunes, blasted reputa-
tons, poverty and death. While i'm the
paths of honest labor follow dignified man
hood, independence of character, happy
domestic ties, homes bought and paid for
by the product of honest industry. accumu-
lated wealth, responsibility, morality, and
all the graces and virtues which redeem
this life from the degrading influences which
surround it. 1t ought to be an easy matter
to choose between the two conditions.

4 CONFESSION.

The Approaching municipal election con-
test in Minneapolis is beginning TO cast its
shadow before. The declination of Mayor
PU.LsBURY to be a candidate for reelection
is a public con fession that Republican
administration in that city has been fail
ure. This confession was entirely unneces-
sary for the fact was too apparent to be
concealed. The people of Minneapolis have
observed the difference between Democratic
government and Republican government,
and they know under which the city en-
joyed the most prosperous conditions.
They know that the reform policy
mapped out by the present Repub-
lican government was hollow pre-
tense. The revelations which were
made during the recent police investiga-
tons were contirmatOry of this fact And
the cowardly attempt of the administration
to evade just responsibility for the rotten
condition of municipal affairs by feeble
attempt at embarrassing only resulted in
fostering conviction upon the public mind
that the Republican administration of the
city was complete and absolute failure
Consequently Mayor PLLsBURY's declna-
ton, which amounts TO virtual confession
of his party's guilt, comes 100 late to be of
service to his party. The mayor evidently
feels that the weight of his party's sins
is too heavy for him to carry. How
ever much he may wish for a personal vim
dieation, he is wise enough to see that this
is not the time for him TO get il. The load
of Republican maladministration in Mime
apoliS would sink the champion political
swimmer of the world, and Mr. PILLsBURY
knows it. That is why he prefers to keep
out of the water.

A THEATRICAL DANGER.

A new danger is opened up on the stage
by the precedent established at recent pei
Torrance of Theodore. The exigencies
of the plot necessitated the mimic strang-
ling of the Empress at ropes end. The
actor who played the part of the exeeu-
toner was hOpelessly in love with the
young woman who strutted her brief hour
upon the stage in regal robes. but who i'm

spending lover was unable to crafty. Theo-

pecunious sutton. said him nay and smiled
upon another. Mad with jealousy the vic
tim of unreQuited love broOded over his
wrongs, ''nursed his wrath TO keep il
warm" and bided his time. Finally when
the time came for him 10 bring about the
climax of the play by strangling the fair but
unappreciative heroine, he affixed the rope
in dead earnest and proceeded TO end her
earthly career with neatneSs and dispatch.
The contortions of the unfortunate
THEODORE Were enthusiastically applauded
| by the audience, who fancied they were be-
ing treated to wonderfully vivid piece of
acting, until an actor, upon whom the truth
of the situation dawned, rescued her. half

vial of poison for the harmless one which
ROMEO puts TO his lips. 0rHELLo's blind
rage should wreak itself in earnest upon

lent opportunities which occur in a hun

fluence of jealousy pretended tragedies
into real ones be utilized, things will come
to such pass that none but ill-fayored
actors and actresses incapable of in
spring the tender passion, and thus relieved
of all the dangers which beset the comedy
hero and heroine, will be employed, and per-
sonal safety will be gained at the expense
of the public's enjoyment.

KELIGION IN COLLEGEs.

The recent tilt between President Nc
Gosh of Princeton, and President ELLIOT
of Harvard. with reference TO the status of
religious instruction in the two institutions
over whose destinies they preside calls at
tention TO question which has of late
years very generally claimed the attention
of educators. Until very recently there
was so little doubt entertained regarding
the propriety and wisdom of making the
religious element prominent that every
college was sectarian, now very per-
ceptible leaning towards what may al
most be termed radicalism is noted.
away from the established order
of things, TO exchange time-honored con-
servatism for spirit of liberality that was
the occasion of the tilt between Presidents
MCCosH and ELLIOT. The former main
tanned that it was the duty of the college
not only TO provide religious instruction,
but to compel, if necessary, its incubation.
while the latter argued in favor of broader
view of the question which would not in
volve the idea of compulsiOn. The position
taken by Harvard's president is not only
more in accord with the senti-
ment of this progressive age, but
will meet with the sympathy of all
who favor intellectual and spiritual free
dom. That the influence which religion
exerts, particularly upon those whose
minds are in the formative period, is bene-
fetal, is undeniable. but when it becomes
matter of compulsion instead of inclina-
ton it ceases TO have the meaning or force
otherwise attaching to it. 1t is human ma
ture TO rebel against the exaction of iron
clad obedience TO arbitrary rules of any
kind, and when they refer to the exercise
of ones reason they become intolerable.
BY all means there should be
every opportunity afforded in our
colleges for religious instruction and train
ing, and nothing should be left undone to
turn the current of students thoughts in
that direction. If they did any less the
faculties would be false to their trusts.
But there should be no forcing process
about it. When a student is able TO enter
a college Of standing, he is presumed TO be
competent to exercise his own reasoning
powers. and should therefore not be ham,
pered by system which can not help but
defeat the very end which it seeks arbi-
trarily TO bring about. If the twig is
wrongly bent there is no use in attempting
to straighten the crookedness of the full
grown tree, and if rightly inclined there is
still less need for forcible Intervention.

which it was to receive certain royalties or
percentages on the business done. For
1884 the amount so paid reached the sum
of 1888, 900. and for 1885 it was over $780,
600. This is by far the heaviest expense
borne BY the Bell company.
AN OPPRESSIVE MONOPOLY.
After this brief recital of a marvellous ac-
cumulatlon of wealth it is easy TO under
stand the Importance of the suit that Secre-
tary Lamar recently authorized to be
brought by the government against the
Bell company. All individual suits have
failed. Gray, Dolbear, Drawbaugh, Edi-
son and others have all tried to break the
Bell patent but have all been unsuccessful,
and the monopoly is absolute. though
charges OF fraud in securing the Bell patent
have always found more or less of a
hearing. The question brought before Mr..
Lamar was whether he believed the evil
dences OF fraud in securing the patent JUS
tined the bringing of suit by the govern
ment 70 vacate the patent He decided
there was. That brings the question up to
be decided on its merits. 1t is somewhat of
an unusual procedure for suit to be brought
up this way, but it is entirely reason
able 10 suppose that where the govern
ment has evidence that a fraud has
been committed through one of its
branches that it should sue for the nullifi-
cation OF the thing done. Whether there
was cOllusiye action or not between Bell
and the patent office officials when he got
his patent in 1876, the oppression of the
monopoly built up by him and his associ-
ates is keenly felt by the public. The
schedule OF charges of telephone service

much as $3.50 a month is charged for a

all proportion to the cost of the service. and

competition that shall lower the charges to
some rational basis. AS it is now, every
improvement in telephones is cut off. and

THE PORTLAND MANIFESTO

The Portland anti-ChineSe congress
turned out to be something of tempest in
teapot-a great deal of spluttering for so
little steam. So far as their resolutions 20.
no one will be disposed TO dispute the gen.
eral proposition therein laid down that the
Mongolian race is an undesirable class of
people to have in this country. If they
could be gotten out of the country it would
be happy radiance. They are not in
sympathy with our civilization nor is there
any hope of ever bringing them into har-
mony with it, They have no more respect
for our laws than they have for
honesty and morality. A more obnoxious
element could not be admitted into this
country. But however desirable it may
be to get rid of the Chinese it would not be
right to resort TO the methods suggested by
the Portland convention. If the sug-
gestions made by the convention are fol-
lowed out it would be nothing less than the
establishment of anarchy. AS between the
two the country can better afford to submit
to the infiction Of the Chinese than the prev
alence Of mob law. The Portland remedy is
worse than the disease. And what is still
more aggravating in the action of the con-
vention is that it recommended the boycott
ting of everybody who has pronounced
in favor of law, order and human ity.
The Portland rioters may as well under
stand right now that while public feeling is
against the Chinese and the desire that they
shall be taken out of the country is uni
versal still public sentiment will not toler-
ate mob violence. When it comes to that
the Chinese and the rioters will have to go
in the same boat.
There are peaceable methods by which
the Chinese can be removed from the coun-
try, and it is the duty of congress to see
that these methods are Immediately adopted.
If the Mongolians are 10 remain here
and receive the protection of the govern
ment then let it be done on the
condition that they become American
citizens. If they do not consent to become
naturalized there is no reason why the gov.
eminent should permit them TO remain or
to give them special protection. And if il
be true, as the Portland convention de-
clares, that the governor of Washington
territory has usurped authority in an effort
10 restrain the indignation of the citizens of
that territory against the Chinese congress
should take prompt action in removing him.
He is just as culpable as the rioters. The
constitution and the supremacy of the
laws is of more consequence than the
Chinese and the territorial officials all put
