is elsewhere printed in this issue of Tie
TRIBUNE. 1t presents the arguments in favor
of the copyright law with much cogcncy. and
invites the public to memorabilia Congress to
secure its early passage. Fair-minded people
should be only too glad Of this opportunity to
aid in forwarding so Just an interest.
The chief obstacle to legislation outside of
tho ranks of those engaged in book-making,
has undoubtedly been the fear of certain pOr-
ton of the public. not too intelligent and not
over scrupulous, that the price of books would
be increased. The statistics Of the trade
demonstrate that there is very slight ground
for such fear. The chief result of copy
right law would be that large proportion of
the trashy English fiction with which the mar
Get is now flooded would be shut out, that
American fiction of better quality would take
its place, and that the difference in price would
not be important. Presidential session is
not tho most favorable time for pressing such
a measure, but 1t would be popular and
gracious action II the two parties, before
squaring off for the great contest should shake
hands over copyright bill.

4 NIHILIST TILE.

The account given in the cable dispatches
of the failure Of the last plot against the Car
adds another startling episode to the annals
Of Nihilism. The members of secret society
balloted for the honOrs of Imperial marksman-
ship. Tho choice fell upon an army officer
whose heart failed him when he sought to kill
the sovereign. He shot himself. and while
lying MORALLY wounded in hospital made a
full confession of his guilty connection with
his accomplices in the political policy OF as
sassination. The incident is most important
ono as corroboratins many stitled rnmors re-
specting the spread of revolutionary ideas In
the army. The Russian Government has never
boon willing TO have its own subjects or tho
world outside suspect that the army was con-
taminated with the contagion Of Socialism.
The suicide Of this military officer. with this

THE N1V1L CONTPACTS

Secretary Whitney in making contracts Tor
new vessels was very careful to limit the
period of construction and to impose penalties
for delay. One of the gunbOats ought TO have
been finished in December last, and another
should have been completed yesterday. Neither
of these vessels can be turned over to the
Government before August 1. and one of them
may not be finished within a year. The
Charleston and Baltimore arc in a more for
ward state, but it is not considered possible
to complete them within the period specified
in the contracts. The dynamite cruiser will
not be offered to the Government this month
within the limit of time. In all these instances
penalties are imposed by the terms Of contract.
The contractors arc making strenuous efforts
to secure an extension Of time in order to avoid
the payment Of penalties. II will be interesting
to watch the Secretary's course in dealing
with the contractors. He considered delay
very glaring fault in the case Of Mr.. Roach,
who undertook to build four ships at once for
the Government. viii it be as serious an
offence in these new instances?
The Secretary can well afford to be con-
sistcnt, for he can remind the contractors that
they are paid good prices and that the penalties
will not seriously impair their profits. Com
petition for Government contracts has not been
real under the Sccretary's administration. Each
builder has got what work he wanted at prices
narrowly within the limit of Congressional
appropriations. Each can pay the nominal
forfeit of S25 day for six months without
running his business. AT the same time We are
not sure but that the Secretary will do better
to deal generously with the builders than to
hold them to the strict letter Of the contracts.
There may have been excellent reasons for de-
lay for which the contractors should not be
held responsible. When. however, the vessels
are completed they ought to be required to fur
nish every unit Of horsepower called for by
the contracts. In this respect the Secretary
was most lenient and indulgent, for he left
a broad margin between the designed horse
power and that which the builders of the
cruisers are required to furnish. The con-
tractors of the Baltimore if they succeed in
approximating the designed horsepower can
well afford to be year behndhand in con-
struction. since their premiums will largely
offset their penalties.

strange hospital confession, is an unansweraoie
proof OF the existence of dsaffcction in the
army.
One OF the details Of this extraordinary oc-
currence il characteristic Of Russian methods
of administration. When the dying officers
confession had been recorded in writing. every
one who had heard it was Immediately arrested.
Tho surgeons in consultation over the SICK
mans symptoms and the hospital nurses VINO
were smoothing his pillow were converted into
enemies of tho Car by the mere possession OF
tho secret that an army officer was Nih.hse
and had confederates in the service. They
were imprisoned for the crime Of listening to
diving mans whispers and the surgeons were
not released until they had bound themselves
not to repeat the startling tale Could there
be moro striking illustration Of despotic
government and its morbid terrors than this
hospital scene?

A FISHERIES AGREEMENT.

The Fisheries Commission has probably arrived
MT some impotent conclusion Conjecture points to
proposition for arbitration. This was the precise
policy recommended by President Cleveland in his
first Message, and emphatically condemned by the
Senate. II e be revived after the failure Of the
President to enforce the alternative policy enacted
by Congress In the Retaliation bills the Admins
tration cannot seriously expect that its Treaty
will be ratified. 1t probably prefers to have q
convention rejected rather than TO have the Com
mission break up without coming to any form of
agreement OF the two diplomatic failures ono
will be far less humiliating TO Secretary Bayurd
than the other. Indeed there will be q fair
chance of trading during the Presidential canvass
upon an unsuccessful attempt " make lasting
peace between the two great branches of the Eng
disappearing race. The collapse Of the Commits
sion would simply have brought rdcule and
rcproach upon the State Department.
IT. has been apparent from Mr.. Chamberlain
public utterances that he came TO America de-
srous of making Treaty in conformity
with the actual conditions of trade and feeling
between the two countries He looked upon the
Treaty of 1918 as an antiquated convention,
adapted possibly to the requirements Of the Gov
ernment at the time it was negotiated, but no
longer useful or adequate. The Fisheries clauses
of the Treaty of Washington he likewise was
factory basis for new Treaty. He was willing
to discuss all the technical questions and to make
a broad and statesmanlilse compact grounded upon
the commercial relations and necessities OF the
two countries.
II Secretary Bayard could have met Mr. Cham
berlain In the same spirit and IL Sir Charles
Upper could have been prevailed upon to risk
Provincial displeasure the Commission might have
effected without much difficulty a satisfactory
settlement. What Americans want is their com
mercial rights in Canadian harbors and waters
They have been denied those rights Their fisher
men have been subjected to ndignities and out
RACES, and to malicious persecution and harassing
annoyance in Canadian waters. Treaty which
would have secured to American ships in Dominion
ports the rights and privileges which English
vessels freely enjoy in American harbors ought
not to have been a difficult compact to make, and
it would have given general satisfaction. Probably
there has been pettifogging qulbbng over diplo-
matte details, with arbitration proposal as the
barren result

4 DEMOCKATIC TENDER.

"There is no place or role in Nature for the
Mugwumps except that Of Democratic
tonder." So remarks leading Democratic
newspaper. "The Brooklyn Eagle" Individ-
ual Mugwumps can be depended upon to resent
this characterization. They will "hurl back"
the charge that their present significance in
cratic tender. They will protest that their
relation to the two great political parties is one
of resolute independence. Some Of them have
taken pains to explain that they voted for Mr..
Cleveland for the Presidency. not because he
was Democrat, but on grounds that had moth
ing whatever to do with his politics. Mr.. Cur
tbs fastened to the support of Mr.. Cleveland
after denouncing tho Democracy as ga party
which fell from power as conspiracy against
human rights, and now attempts to sneak back
to power as conspiracy for plumber and
spoils."
Nevertheless if the Mugwump newspapers
reflect the views of the contingent for which
they profess to speak, it is entirely proper to
speak of Mugwump as Democratic tender.
Why not2 These organs long since abandoned
tho attitude Of independent and impartial
critics of both parties. They have become
heated Democratic partisans. No one can
read them day after day without becoming
convinced that they are retained for the Demo
cratic party; that they hate not only this and
that Republican leader but are working for the
overthrow of Republican principles and the
downfall of The Republican party. "The
Ncw-York Times" in its capacity Of Demo-
cratic tender. sneers at the bills pending in The
Legislature Droyiding for Quarantine reform.
Why? Because they are Republican measures.
"The New York Evening Post" serving in The
same capacity of Democratic tender, dismisses
the tie in the Democratic Committee with a
brief paragraph. Why? Because the dead
lock in all that it implies of party factionalism
is Democratic deadlock.
Extremes meet. Your fine old dyed-in-the-
wool Democratic organ and your independent
organ are engaged in the same work. Both
arc laboring to keep the Democratic party in
power. Who says that NIugwump and Demo-
cratic tender are not convertible terms?
