Of the pretense contained in the vlrtuou'

nOMASCE on HISTORY:

We noticed yesterday the article OF
Mr.. Campbell In the Magazine Of An'tri
can History, relating TO the magnan'mity
of New York in donating TO the Gov
eminent the Northwest territory -
Tha, is very serene and self ccmplaceni
In Mr.. Campbell. But it Is not az new US
some OF The Northern papers think.
Ii has been often said and as often CON
tradic,ed. Even il a committee Of Con-
rress decided that the Northwest ter
ri,ory belonged to New York that did
not make il so for facts are a little bii
stronger than a committee, and be-
sides the long S an ling admission that
that great domain was given by
Virginia there Is this simple fact
that it was conquered by the TT Dch
and then by the English. General Clarke
with three hundred and fifty Virginia
rangers conquered it and brought
the Governor.Genera Of Canada 10 Wiz
cInla a prisoner. Whether any six ma
tons or anybody else had any claim ,oit
is not the question. General Clarke ac'
ouired IL in the name OF the State OF Nir'
ginia. Now as a specimen Of history in
such matters Bancroft complacently re-
marks that General Clarke with some
Pennsylvanians conquered the Northwest
territory.
The historian may put his Inspiration
On any invention and 1t mag be accepted.
but his materials arc stronger Than him
self, and the next historian may use tic
real material Instead of drawing on his
IMAGINATION. General Clarkc's letter.

Mr.. Barrymore Is right, and the court
should DO him justice. Nobody who has
seen the Two plays can doubt that La
Tosca Is a theft, and an example should
be made to warn pirates. The introduce
ton Of a single scene from another play
Is a plagiarism that should not be allowed
when the original owner and author Is

iurb the tax on cigars. cheroots or
cigarettes. Perhaps the most radical
feature of the bill will ne tho practical
