celluloid for s~heathing ships.

In experiments during the past year.
celluloid has proven an excellent sheath

which it has some advantages. Another

use Of the lately cheapened aluminium for
dental plates, which are better than rub

rohlo mistakes Of fact, he had better make u
clear how and in what sense the consumers OIL
New-York are taxed by the tariff on beef, pork
ham. butter cheese and lard.
An assumption quite as common and quite AZ
ignorant is that the duties on clothing generaiiy
operate as tax, by enhancing the cost OF Amer
lean products to consumers. But Dir. fltcn
sbould not have contributed to the public mis-
information. through sheer neglect to inquire
nc to the facts If he had made any inquiry
whatever, he would have found that most co'-
ton and woolen goods worn by the great h'''-
iority of the people are to-day cheaper mere
than the same goods could be il imported iree

SAYING that Canada is Englands " hostage to
the United States,n it argues that the Prov
inces cannot be protected by the Mother Coun-
try In the event Of war it assumes that Great
Britain could not put two full army corps IN
the field for service on the border at month 5
notice. and that not even five army corps would
materially change the issue Of the struggle be-
tween 100000 Canadians and 6O,OOO,OOO
Americans. 1t admits that the British navy
might harass the seacoasts of the United States
with any vessels that could be spared from con-
yoying the merchant marine and guarding 1t

Americans would buy and build and arm and
set afoat.n II doubts, however, if all the
Powers of Europe combined could land enough

the high office Of Bishop but the men ANXIOUS
for the honor are by no means the surest OF
getting it.
That was a singular verdict rendered by
fury in the Superior Court yesterday in two
damage suits brought by owners OF south
Fifth-ave property against the Elevated Rail-
road Company. 1t was claimed that the loss
of rental caused by the railroad was $4,000
in each case. The company contended that the
only damage arose from the appropriation Of
the ground On which the pillars supporting
its structure stood and that the interest on
the value of this for six years was the only
loss that the plaintiffs had suffered The
Jury took that view and found a verdict for
$50. This is decided victory for the rail-
way company which would doubtless like to
see other juries as compacent when the
numerous suits pending are tried. Probably
the width of South Fifth-ave., and the fact
that the elevated tracks are a considerable
distance from the buildings had much in
fluence with the jurors In narrow streets the
conditions are decidedly different. This case
Is noteworthy because it is the first in which
a successful defence has been made by the

pTVTVING THE WAR FEELING.

In the opinion of "Harpers Weekly" the
disposition to revive "the war feeling" as
part of the political campaign is both
blunder and a crimen The war feeling Is
rather vague term. One Of the synonyms
for the war feeling, and the one which will
most naturally occur to the average loyal
American. is patriotism. But nobody argues
that to revive the patriotic feeling as part OF
the political campaign is either biunder or
n crime Patriotism, like the motion to adj
journ, is always in order. What Is the war
feeling which Republicans are accused OF re-
viying these days, if it is not patriotic
feeling?
The Republican party insists that there shall
le fair elections at the South, that voter
whether his skin be white or black, shall be
allowed to exercise the right Of suffrage with
out let or hindrance of any sort, and that
there shall be an honest count OF honest BALLOTS
"The Weekly" apparently regards the steady
and strenuous maintenance OF this position
on the part of Republicans as the chief count
in its "war feeling" Indictment. For it re-
marks that "the proposition is indisputable
that every legal voter has right to vote
freely and to have his vote counted. But
when that right is violated in jurisdiction
over which other communities and citizens
have no control, a remedy must be sought by
the most careful consideration of all the cir
cumstances. In our situation, mere oDloquy
and denunciation can have but one result, and
that is to perpetuate the conditions which are
to be mitigated.n 1t is to be inferred from
this that "The Weekly" holds that unless one
is prepared to propose good all-around rem
edy for the infamous state of things in ques-
ton, he ought to hold his tongue lest
peradventure, he may hurt the feelings of the
Bourbons who put up the jobs on the ballot
box and by so doing "perpctuate the con-
ditions that are to be mitigated" This sort
Of talk does not suggest the war feeling
more's the pity. Americans who have blood
in their veins and an ardent love for the
cardinal Republican doctrine Of equal rights
in their hearts are not to be deferred from
filing protests against the suppression of the
negro vote at the South because this Dem
ocrat accuses them of waving the bloody shirt
and that Mugwump accuses them Of aggra-
waiting people in that section. In 1861 the
war feeling was better than the copperhead
feeling in 1888 the feeling that inspires cit
liens vigorously, even if Intellectually, to de-
nounce the Southern conspiracy against the
ballot-box is better infinitely better, than the
feeling which expends itself in denuncation,
not of the conspiracy, but of those that pro-
claim their adherence of it.
"The Weekly quotes from speech recently
made by Senator Gibson, of Louisiana, to
prove the perfect good faith Of our old foes''
at the South. But so long as the right Of
suffrage is persistently denied TO thousands Of
legal voters in the South, how absurd it is to
talk of "the perfect good faith" of those en-
gagged in the great conspiracy.

they would have to depend upon their own
yalor and resources and would receive no ma
terial assistance from Great Britain.
WHY such discussion as this should spring
nm al this time beyond the border we are at
loss 10 understand. The days Of Fenian raids
and filibustering expeditions have passed.
Americans are talking neither Of war nor OF an
nexation. They want peace with Canada
EroIand and the rest of the world and only with
great reluctance and with feeling of detesta-
ton of the whole barbarous trade Oh warfare
would they enter into campaign with any
nation. and then solely in defence OF their rights
and Of the nations honor. Annexation Is never
seriously discussedby the American press ana
ahe conviction is generally entertained that II
nrovinces are ever added in the North 1t must
moi be after a war of conquest nor without the
frea and ,lntrammelled consent of the Cana
dams themselves This is the spirit in which
annexation is invariably considered in the Uni
tod States. The idea of n Canadian Alsace-
Jorraine-of subject populations and races
coerced and governed against their willis pro-
foundly distasteful to Americans The war
scare in that Toronto Office is vagary OF
superheated imagination-a frenzy OF misdi-
rected and unpatriotic energy. There Is noth-
ing in the present attitude Of Americans toward
Canada to Justify these rawlings about military
campaign and the helplessness OF England
when its colonies are assailed
Sensational articles Of this hnd-the prod
nets of panic-mongers' mischievous industry
are equally insulting to Canadians and
Americans The five millions, if animated by
the same spirit of sacrifice and patriotism
which inspired the men of rs in their revolt
against mighty England might hope to make
brave and not necessarily hopeless hght
against the sixty millions In any event it
is pusillanimous for a Canadian journal TO
proclaim the weakness and inferiority of the
Provinces and the worthlessness of the Mother
Country's protective alliance in war time. 30
also is this nonchalant talk about war OF
conquest and political adventure degrading to
a great nation whose energies are centred upon
the pacific development of its industrial re-
sources Nowhere on the face of the earth Is
there 50 intense an adherence of war as there
is felt in America. The moral consciousness
of the Nation reyolts against campaigns begun
in an aggressive spirit from motives of greed
or ambition and ended with wanton disregard
of the liberties Of those who are conquered
