COPYRIGHT LEGISLATION.

The agreement of the Authors and Pub
fishers Copyright Leagues, and the Copyright
League of Boston, upon certain notifications
Of the Chacc bill, the substance of which va
have printed, is a hopeful auguy for the
future of copyright legislation. One of the
chief obstacles TO such legislation in previous
years has been the conflict of opinion among
the various interests. The dishonest oppo-
nents of copyright hayo been glad TO seize upon
these differences as pretext for refusing any
action whatever. Now, however, the authors
and publishers have come to the sensible con-
clusiOn that their wise course is to establish
tho principle of international copyright with
as near an approach to justice as is possible at
the outset, in the expectation that having once
made this great advance it will be easy to Sc
cure improvement in details hereafter There
is no doubt that the Chace bill, rs modified.
represents the views Of those most interested in
the writing and printing of books. as to what
is at present practicable. and it is 10 be hoped
that Senator Chace will permit their opinions
to come before Congress.
These changes. if adopted. will remove from
the bill the non-imporation clause, which has
been universally recognized as fatal, and the
provision for three months interval between
the production of book In foreign country
and here. The non-importation clause is SO
altered as to permit the importation OF foreign
editions of American copyright works that are
authorized by the owner of tho copyright. The
three months clause is replaced with clause
recurring simultaneous publication in both
countries. An appeaf 10 the honest sentiment

The extraordinary weather which Dakota
has been comforting on the country for some
weeks past, possibly in revenge for the inhos-
pitable treatment she is receiving from Con-
gress, has produced a phenomenon in the Mis-
sissippi River opposite st. Louis which must
be as magnificent as it is destructive and re-
morseless. A great ice-foe. about twenty feet
thick and extending from bank to bank. is
slowly moving down the river carrying dcsoia-
tion along with it. The owners of property
on the river bank, steamboats, and other craft
that arc lying by for the winter can do nothing
but stand idly at hand. while their fortunes are
slowly ground TO pieces. A colder picture Of
relentless fate can scarcely be imagined.
The considerations which have induced the
Senate to pass the Constitutional Amendment
changing Inauguration Day from March to
April 30 are considerations of sentiment. On
that day in 1859 Washington took the oath as
the first President of the United States. His
second term began On March 4, however, and
cvery President since 1893 has been inaucu-
rated on that day. The Twelfth Amendment to
the Constitution. which Senator Hoar proposed
TO change was proposed as long ago ms 1903
and became part of the fundamental law of
the land in 1904. Even in view of the fact
that the Federal Government was first set in
motion on April so. IL is not improbable that
many Legislatures may object to altering a
custom which has come down to us from the
second President to the twenty-second.
