stantly see. For example, lthe ring nebula
i'll Lyla is drawn by Lord ROsse with no
central star. At Washington, one small
star can be seen in the midst of the central
Vacuity, but here we are sure OF seeing
three such at least. These are interesting
on account of their critical situation i'll the
nebula, not simply as stars.
The great Tlifid and Omega nebulB are
wonderful objects here. Not only is a vast
amount of detail seen here which cannOt
be seen elsewhere, but the whole aspect Of
them is changed. Many points that are
doubtful with other telescopes are perfectly
simple and clear here. have always con-
sidered that one Of the great practical
triumphs of this telescope would be to
settle, once for all, the doubts that have
arisen and that will arise elsewhere. Now,
l am sure that we shall be able to do this,
and in a way to end controversy.
"Of course you understand that the
period of construction here s not yet quite
over, though, [ am thankful to say, it is
nearly ended. We have been making our
observations, so far, under great disad-
vantages, and now that we see our way

nifty. it really takes time to understand
how to utilize it in the best way. A great
telescope is not like an opera-glass, which
can be taken out of ones pocket, and
which is at once ready for use. 1t is a
delicate and complicated machine, which
demands a whole set of favourable con
ditions for its successful use. Every one
of these conditions has to be studied and
understood, so that it can be commanded
and maintained. We have been busy
night and day in this work, and in com
pleting the thousand arrangements aud CON
trivances which are essential in order to
turn this vast establishment from a mu-
scum of idle instruments into a busy la
boratOry, where the inner secrets of the
sky are to be studied. We feel sure now
that in a comparatively short period we
shall be in full activity. In the meantime
every one Of us is doing his best under the

The Dispute between England
and the United States.

Lord Derby once suggested that it
would be very convenient if we would
only manage to introduce wars with
limited liability. The exigencies of
electoral campaigns seem now to
point to another need, the need of
stage wars such as may last till an
electoral campaign is virtually decid-
ed, and not do too much harm mean
while. 1t is clear, we think, that
President CteveIand's unexpected de-
mand for retuliatory powers on the
Commerce of Canada, is partly in
tended to give the United States n
lesson on the serious consequences of
rejecting a welI-cOnsidered treaty be-
tween friendly Government, and part
" to take the wind out of the sails of
the Republican blusterers. We do
not believe, in spite of the tone of
the Message, hat President Cleve-
land has any intention of exciting the
sort of irritation between the United
States and Canada which might ulti-
mateIy lead to war. And we have a
q very strong impression that if the
present President is reelected in No
vember, the retaliatory measures,
whatever they be, which he may have
adopted against Canada, would soon
be exchanged for some wise concilia-
tory measure, such as that agreed
upon between the Government of the
United States end the Commission of
which Mr.. Chamberlain was the head.
In the meantime, the situation is by
no means agreeable. Though we
sincerely believe that Mr.. CIeveland's
bark is considerably worse han his
bite is likely to be, there is no know
ing to what consequences a policy of
commercial retaliation may lead. Even
his first step appears to be a very

would hardly be settled without
either humiliation on n side or
fighting on both. Now, it is certain
that during a Presidential contest
the Government of the United States
will not submit to anything that has
the most distant resemblance to "A
humiliation, and hat they would not
be at all sorry, for eIectioneering pur-
poses, to inflict something very like a
humiliation on the Government of
Canada, -which the Government of
Canada would certainly not endure.
Altogether, we are not at all easy
about the situation, though we hope
and believe that the statesmen on
both sides have too much good sense
to let the electioneering e~xigencies of
the moment predominant to the vir-
tual exclusion of those considerations
Of justice and prudence by which
alone the good mutual understanding
of nations can be maintained.
On the whole, we must say that
General Elections produce a. very
serious disturbing force on foreign
politics. If we could only have sham
wars to last for a few moments, the
operations TO be carried on on both
sides in proceedings not more harm
full than peaceful autumn manpavres,
without letting the celebrates into
the secret of the sham, there would
be many a thrilling sensation forAlhr
electors without any serious mischief
being done. Unfortunately, that is
impossible. The very popularity of
buster is chiefly due to the sense Of
danger which accompanies it, and
just as amphithcatre fights were never
reIiShrd unless blood was really shed,
so political quarreIs which have 100
heart in them would not satisfy the
people, and would not bring the
electors to the poll. What is really
wanted is an electorate sensible
enough to dislike buster, and to pre-,
fer reasonable concession 10 the OK
change of defiant threats. We felr
thai we have not yet got such an
electorate on either side ct the Al
lantic. The American voters >tlll
relish the illumination of lhunderbolts
against Great Britain whenever "A
Legitimate issue can be found, Just rs
French voters relish military pre-
tenders who are supposed to b. ready
for a war of revenge, and English
voters relish fanfarOnades about the
united navIes Of the great Colonial
Empire on which the sun never sets.
We are beginning to think that all
serious international questions ought
to be suspended at least half.a-vear
before Il General Election in every
country, and resumed only when the
election is over. Unfortunately that
would require a close-time of nego-
tiatiOn Of perhaps one year in every
three between almost all the Great
Powers, since one or other of them is
almost always ON the eve of some
great appeal to the people, in which
a good deal of houriShing is consider
ed desirable, while sober sense is at
ii very serious discount.-Spectotor.

ON~
ticle 20 of the Treaty of 1871, which
was the only article Incorporating" the
laws and regulations "prrmiiting the
transit of goods, merchandise, and
wares in bond across or over the ter
ritory of the United States to or from
Canada" terminated on JulY1 st 1885.
Senator Edmunds does not agree
with the President that this is quite
plain !; on the contrary, he thinks it
plain that this article has not expired
and that due notice must be given be-
fore it's obligations a he cancelled.
Many Of the Canadian authorities take
the same view. And whether the Pre-
sident or those who differ from him,
be right, it is certain that any act by
which the United States should APP
pear to have wilfulIy violated a treaty
which the other contracting power
still regards as binding, will give rise
to a sort of irritation that might prove
exceedingly dangerous. Then, apart
from this question of the continued
existence of a treaty obligation which
the proposed retaliation would violate,
the retaIiatorY powers given by the
Bill which Congress is now about to
consider, are OF a very irritating kind.
Mr.. Cleveland is to be empowered to
refuse to allow the transit of any for
eign goods in bond to or from the
British d0minions in North America
with full payment Of duty; and, fur
ther it is proposed that "Whercver the
President is satisfied hat there is any
discrimination whatever in the use OF
the Welland Canal, the vt. Lawrence
River Canals, the Chambly Canai, or
either of them, whether by tolls,
drawbacks, refund tolls, or otherwise,
which is or may be detrimental to the
interests of the United States" the
President shall have discretion to Is
sue a proclamation to that effect,
after which a toll of 20 cents a ton is
to be levied on every foreign vessel
and cargo passing through the United
States canals, and may further, if
he pIeases, prohibit the use Of such
canals entirely to foreign vessels. He
is also given power to revoke these
orders so soon as he is satisfied that
the tolls to which he objects on
the Canadion canals are no longer
enforced. Now, the President would
hardly have asked for these provisions
if he had not intended to use
them, at all events in the few
months during which no final policy
can be determined on, and during
which, we may add, the effect Of Il
policy that is a little clustering may
be conducive to the success Of the De
mocratic Party and tie defeat of the
Republican Party. 1t is worthy Of
notice that already there has been one
Irish meeting in the United States in
support of President CleveIand's poll
cy, on the ground that hislast Message
is unpleasing to Great Britain and we
have little doubt that Mr.. Harrison is
already discovering the difference
between having to fight a Presi-
dent who was branded as friend
ly to England, and having to fight a

RATES ON OIL IN BARRELS AND TANKS.

Washington Nov. 23.-The Interstate Commerce
Commission has issued a memorandum upon the sub
jec OF relative rates oil in barrels and OIL In tanks
It appears that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company IN
August last issued circular stating that the rates of
refined OIL etc. would be adjusted in accordance with
The drpc lions of the Interstate Commerce Commission
so that the weight of barrels Will be charged for in the
rnture in addition the weight of the oil, and that
rates on oil In barrels accordingly raised by
that company
INQUIRY showed that the change was made IN
pursuance with what understood TO be the effect
of the ruling of the Commits sion in the case OF Ice
against the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company
decided last January. The Commission now states
that 1t has made ruling that can properly be so
construed. The importation OF OH 10 hdster"
points was proved in the Rise case TO be different IN
.espect of hack loading and of hazard from It's trans
portation to Southwestern and Western points. The
decisin had exclusive reference TO the facts COM
blamed Of and was NOT intended general ruling
affecting al parts OF the country.
