1t is said upon the strength of opinion
in Halifax that in any future negotia-
tions between the United States and
England as to the fishery differences,
Canada will require that the United
States shall purchase at a high rate the
privilege for the fishermen to buy bait
and ice in Provincial ports. Ordinary
nations desire and expect com
merce to pay for itself. But here oui
fishermen are expected to buy the bait
and ice and buy the chance to buy it.
This Chinese wall theory will, however,
be sufficiently met by the provision JUS
put in the Shipping bill that our Execu'
tive shall have authority to deny free
dom Of, trade to ships of countries thai

THE EMIT OF SPEED IN OCEAN
TRAVEL.

Professor r. II. Thurston discusses in
the June number of The Forum the in.
teresting question of the limit of speed
in ocean going steamers. Profiting by
the example of the distinguished scien'
fist who forty years ago predicted that
no steamship could be made to carry coal
enough to cross the Atlantic, the present
writer makes no rash assertions. He
thinks that the gain by improved forms
of hull, by "twin screws, the adoption
of higher steam pressures and by ex.
pedients for reducing friction on the
exterior of the ship will be but slight,
or at least not important. While admit
ting that only when higher speeds will
pay higher speeds will be reached, he
concludes that not improbably "those Of
us who live to the next century may see
the Atlantic crossed in less than four
days"
The writer. says the New York Herald,
does not discuss the economical increase
of steamer speed which may take place
from one or two other changes. One OF
these is the substitution of liquid fuel
for coal. Admiral Selwyn, R. N, has
shown that by the use of oil ga vessel
can carry twice as much power OF pro.
pulsion as a vessel with COAL" In actual
practice one pound Of c~reosote oil gives
as efficient results as 2.33 pounds OF coal.
On the Caspian Sea many Russian steam
ers employ oil fuel exclusively. In a
recent experiment with the British
steamer Himalaya, on a voyage from
London to Granton, Scotland, the con.
sumption of oil was reported as only one
ton per diem. while previously the aver
age consumption of coal was nine tons
per diem. 1t seems obvious, therefore,
that in future greater speed can be
secured in steamers built to use liquid
fuel than in those now made to burn coal.
Economy Of power may also be antlci-

learned how to avoid the maximum force
of ocean storms and the most furious
head winds and head seas. A glance at
the logs of even the powerful ocean
racers shows that their daily runs vary
considerably with the weather encoun-
tered. Thus the Oregon, steaming west
on February s last, made only 1897 miles
with a heavy head sea, while on the 18th,
with a light breeze, she ran a distance OF
45l miles. In the Arabian Sea, between
the Equator and nine degrees north,
there is a tract in which, during the
hight of the southwest monsoon, the
winds are light-known to seamen as
"the soft place in the monsoon" When
such favorable ocean tracts are found out
and utilized we shall oftener hear OF ex.
traordinary fast passages.

He Took 1t But is Sorry For 1t.

The story of Attorney General Garland,
when read between the lines, for that is
the only way to make much out of it,
reminds US of an event witnessed in our
boyhood days, while attending an cold
field" school in the country. One of the
boys had taken book belonging to an
other without his leave The property
was found in his possession, and as he
could give no satisfactory account of
how he came by it, the case was clear
one. The teacher was muscular speci
men of the familiar pedagogue of the
day, who applied the birch without hest
tation whenever the occasion seemed to
demand it. The recalcitrant boy was
called up and confronted by the teacher
with good sized rod in hand Grasp
ing the interesting situation the boy
managed to say between his sobs and
tears, II took-boo- -hoo-the hook, boo
hoo-and am sorry for it--boo-hoo hoo. !
But the confession did not save him and
the schoolmaster applied the birch with
so much vigor that the boy became very
much sorrier AMI was never again known
to apply another boys book to his own
use, and grew up to be wiser and better
Now Mr.. Garland stole no telephone

when he became the owner of the stock

no reason to expect that he ever would
be. He was Senator and it is alleged

or portion of it at least He did not
take it through corrupt motives. But it
was an improper thing for q public Off
cial to take stock as gift, in considera
tion of his influence as public man.
This is the only charge that can be made
against him. Now he is the chief law
officer of the government, and the com.
pany in which he is large stakeholder
has induced the government to bring a
SUIT, in the result of which he is pecu-
niarily interested. The situation is en-
barrassing Certain newspapers have
called attention to it in an unpleasant
way, and the Attorney General has
Thought about it earnestly and. no doubt,
honestly. He has concluded as soon as
he can to dispose of his stock. "He
took the stock and is sorry for it" But

him will lash him still, whether he sells
his stock or not.-Rnorrille Journal.

Tho Educational Rili.

The Educational Bill known as the
Blair bill was taken up in the Senate on
the 10Th. The following is an extract
from the speech of Senator Jackson of
Tennessee, favoring the passage of the
bill
Senator jackson said that inasmuch
as the design of the measures was not to
establish national schools, but to give
temporary aid to States for the purposes
Of education he would support it. The
chief objection to the bill he said, was
that it was unconstitutional. II this OBJ
lection were well founded further dis
cussion would be useless, and the States
now having large iliteracy would have
to contend alone with that great evil. II
the bill permitted any control by the
general government over schools of the
State, he Uackson) would oppose it.
Neither did it compel the State to take
the money. Each State could decide for
Instead of tending to the consolidation in
the general government it would tend to
build up the strength and power of
separate States. The objection that con.
gress had not the constitutional power to
appropriate public funds to purposes of
education was an obsolete one long since
made, but abandoned as made by the OBJ
jectors themselves.
Senator jackson took up and discussed
the historical relations OF the questions
OF national aid to education showing that
millions had from time to time been ap-
propriated by congress for education in
the States. 1t was alone the proceeds of
the sale Of public lands that could be ap-
piled to education as had been insisted
upon by opponents of the measure. There
was no distinction between the money in
treasury which come from public lands
and that which come from other sources
of revenue. None of the great authori.
ties of the government had ever seen any
such distinction. jackson was willing tC
stand in this matter of the "faith of the
fathers" What then was the faith OF
the fathers? Thomas Jefferson in theory
