Some cooks will persist in making
tea or coffee quite while before it is
needed on the table. and then let it
simmer away at the back of the stove
while they see to the cooking OF the
other materials for the meal. This is a
great mistake. When every thing else
is about cooked then is the time to
think of making the tea or coffee, for
they must be fresh ip order to taste
good.

DOGS AND THEIR WAYS.

A dog collar is an article on dogs; sc

The dog is called the friend OF man,
and IL is true that he is frequently seen
running after him. particularly when
the man is a trespasser or the dog is
mad
There are many kinds Of dogs.
The Newfoundland dog seems born
with an instinct for saving children
from drowning. 1t viii hang around

melancholy and seems impelled to ask
If life is worth living.
A friend OF ours imported New
foundland dog to look out for his chill
dren, as his residence was near a pond
of water. Every few days the faithful
animal would come bounding towards
the house. dragging a dripping child
by his teeth. that he had saved from a
watery grave. Then the dog would
be petted by the family, and feasted
and made much of. Yet 1t didn't seem
10 make him proud. He looked as
calm and indifferent as IL saving a
child from drowning was one OF the
most ordinary events OF his life
scarcely worth speaking of-nothing
at all. in fact, TO what he had done in
the old country, where he had often
rescued two or three whole families
before breakfast.

THE COPYRIGHT BILL.

The Copyright bill, which has been made a
special order in the Senate for to-day after the
Pleuro- Pneumonia bill has been disposed Of,
comes up with the brightest prospects this re-
form has ever known since the days when Henry
CLAW fatheled it. The bill has been unanimous
v reported from the Committee on Patents,
and it's passage in the Senate is confidently
looked for, while there seems to be little or no
sound of opposition thus far in the House. II
NAV be that the present year of grace is to see
a Copyright law passed and the chief reproach
under which this country rests in the eyes of
other nations lifted forever.
Many different elements have combined to
bring about this situation. The authors have
conceded the necessity of causing copyright
legislation to harmonize with the general fiscal
policv of the country. The publishers are sat
is6ed with the careful protection Of their in
terests afforded by the Chace bill The print
ers have become its advocates now that it re-
ouires that foreign books, which are TO have
the benefit Of the law, shall be remanufactuIed
in this country. Ii has been demonstrated, 50
far as predictions based upon sound knowledge
can prove it, that the passage of the law will
not have the effect of making books dearer. ex-
cent perbaps in a few cases not affecting the
average reader. This has always seemed tt
be the chief ground of opposition in the West
and the statements Of both publishers and au
tbors before the Congressional committees have
done much to remove misapprehension on thi
point. 1t has been clearly shown that the chic
effect of the bill will be TO keep out forelgI
trade and give American authors chance. lh'
visits of the authors TO Washington have un
doubtedly had good effect in removing mis-
conceptions in the minds Of certain class o
Congressman about authors. and in the mind
Of a certain class of authors about Congress
men. Both sides, probably, understand eaci
other better, and the result is better feeling

JYCOupETENCE on VIET.

The latest explanation Of the deadlock az
Washington, which has now lasted for eight
days is that it is the hole which the flibuster-
ing Free Traders have chosen to crawl into,
in order to conceal or delay their defeat Ac-
cording to this theory they see that the Mills
bill is certain to be defeated, or so altered tlat
votes for it in Democratic House will be, not
an Endorsement, but a condemnation OF the
Presidents message. Anxious to save the IN
eyitable candidate of their party from so dam
aging a rebuke before the convention, they
have conspired to entange business to such an
extent that no vote can be reached on the tarlii
until the convention has been held. Then the
marty. they reason, will be entirely committed
TO the Presidents message as its platform Dy
his nomination, and the Tariff bill can after
ward be forced upon Democratic members with
more chance of success, while those who vote
against it can be disciplined as deserters IN tne
face of the enemy.
This explanation is ingenious, but 1t at
tributes to the flibustering Free Traders moro
clear-headed perception than they probably
possess. The efforts to bully or bribe members
into support of the bill have succeeded IN some
cases, it appears, but probably not far enough
to enable it's supporters to count majority 1or
its most important feature. The vital part oI
the bill, considered as measure of party poll
tics, is its free-wool clause; that beaten or ma
terially changed the bill becomes nbuke OF
the President no matter what else it may con-
tain. The Free Traders have been boaStlng'
and probably believe that they can carry that
provision through the House. But the balance
of evidence from the best sources indicates that
in this they are mistaken. A majority might
be obtained by threats and free use OF patron
age for the reduction Of duties on iron, on
voollens, or on cotton manufactures, but the
frec-wool clause now appears TO be likely to
fail in spite of all that the President and his
AGENTS can do. The doubt is whether the Free
Traders in the House have the practical sense
TO see the fact.
Whether the explanation be correct or not
it does not alter the fact that this band of free
trade filibusters are defeating all public busi-
ness, making the discharge of its duties by the
House impossible, and proving most conyinc-
ingly the incompetence Of the Democratic
party When that party is charged with the
control of affairs, from one cause or another the
public interest always suffers. Political wran-
giles of some sort always crowd the time so thai
the most necessary provision for public inter
ests becomes impossible, important depart
ments of the Nations business are neglected
constant agitation disturbs all industries, and
the country is both injured and disgraced The
proved and frightful incapaclty OF the Demo
cratic party will have more to do with the vot-
ing next fall than Democrats realize.

VHY THEY TELL FIBS.

Let us SEQ. Would these lies about Mr.
Blaines state Of health come quite as often as
twice a week if Democrats and MugUumps
thought he was an easy candidate TO beat? If
they actually believed that he could be defeat
cd easier or more surely than other candidates,
Democratic greed for Office and Mugwump spite
toward the Republican party would prevent
any whisper of facts likely TO hinder his NOM
nation But the persons who cOncoct and
make haste to print these stories that he is at
deaths door arc persons who frantlcally long
for Mr.. Cleveland's election.
The fact is that they are in mortal terror lest
the one man whose very name is a power should
be called TO the front again and called with
such strong and united feeling that he could
not possibly hold back They know that after
crime and fraud had done their worst, securing
for Mr.. Cleveland many electoral votes, and
after his dishonest pretences about the tariff
and the Civil Service had secured him the sup
port of many thousand voters in the doubtful
States, even then he would have been beaten
had not an accident changed more than 900
votes at the last moment. They know that the
false pretences are possible no longer. Mr..
Cleveland must 90 before the country as an
ultra Free Trader of the British school, and as
the most shameless abuser of the appointing
power since Martin Van Buren. They know
that frauds will be more difficult this year, and
more uncertain Of success, because the develop
ment of industries at the South has awakened
thousands of influential men to the need of
Protection. They know that Mr.. Cleveland
has weakened himself, while Mr.. Blaine is
moro popular than he ever was.
Considered as involuntary disclosures of
Democratic and Mugwump terror, the persist
ent falsehoods about Mr.. Blaine have an anus
ing side. Yet it is not easy to think coolly Of
the meanness Of the creatures who send out
such stories to serve a dastardly and selfish
purpose

Tur caNAIS ONCE MORE.

We advise "The Canal Advocate" to 60 slow.
In the course of leading article which reaches
This Office with an impressive blue pencil mark
about il "The Advocate asserts that IL Is
now perfectly clear that the Republicans, VINO
have a majority in both houses of the state
Iepislature. have almost definitely decided 10
make canal improvements partisan question"
In other words a Senator or an Assembyman
who entertains the opinion that the canals
would not suffer if something less than one
million dollars was appropriated this year Tor
the purpose of improving them, takes a par
tisann view of the canal question. 1t follows
of course that a non-partisan friend oil the
canals can be defined as person who beiieves
that one million dollars-perhaps good deal
more but certainly not cent less-ought 70
be annropriated at this session. Last year the
Legislature appropriated only about halI a
million dollars for the canals. Are the law
makers of 1887 who voted The money therefor
to be stigmatized as guilty of partisanshlp?
Another point "The Advocate" asserts that
the Democratic party is thoroughly commit
ted to the cause of canal improvements" Is
il. indeed! Then how did it happen that Da-
vid B. IIill the official head of that party in
this State. declined to sign the Canal Appro-
priation bill Of last year? If the Democratic
party il thoroughly committed to the cause OF
canal improvements, why has Governor Hill
studiously ignored the canals in every one OF
the annual messages which he has transmitted
TO the Legislature since he was elected Gov

the nineteenth century over the credulity OF
man whose position in intelligent society has
been high. and for whom the entire community
has felt sincere esteem. Even Cagtostro
himself accomplished no such feat when the
character of the times and the nature of his at
tainments are considered. There is large
element in the population Of great clues hke
New-York which is always the prey Of ad-
venturers, who are permitted to ply their trade
much too openly and freely. The Legislature
might do well to make such people the subject
of a strong criminal statute. Weak minds as
well as weak bodies need to be protected.
II has long been the fashion for Englishmen
in the criticism of American manners and ways
TO allude in sad but superior tones to the acri-
mony that pervades, and, according to their
notion, weakens, American political discussions
Their refined sensibiiiies are gTievously Offend
ed at the bitterness and vulgarity OF Amencan
campaign speeches, and when they go back to
England after turning an honest penny in ex-
tended lecture tours through the States, it Is
their habit to print melancholy papers, wherein
much pensiye consideration is expended upon
this unhappy circumstance. 1t would be easier
10 extract a moral from these disinterested
criticisms were il not for the frequency with
which the cable brings us such amazing utter
ances as those printed to-day from the pen OF
Professor Tyndall on Mr. Gladstone. Not IN
hasty and heated debate, but in the colo leisure
of his library he brutally puts on paper the
significant sentence: "It is a consolation to
know that Mr., Gladstone is unlikely again TO
be in power" and wiifully disregarding the
true position of the great Liberal leader, be
quotes against him Carlise's generalization that
I" the Minister who is wicked enough to pro-
pose to sever Ireland from England deserves
to have his head brought to the block? p In
land where political discussions are carried
on with Difference and deccncy, this sort OF
language may be considered all right, but here
in rude and barbaIous America the man who
would venture to chuckle at the prospect of the
death of statesman whose position here
corresponded to that of GladstOne's in England
or who proposed his head for the executloner
would either be laughed at as willing or
stand in danger of confinement as mailman

MR GREENES BRIDGE BILL.

The statements of AsSembymen Crosby and
Hamilton in opposition to Judge Greencs Hud-
son River Bridge bill were in all respects sound
That bill should be defeated. The City OF
New York is in need Of better facilities for
massage over the Hudson, and we should hail
with pleasure and earnestly support an honest
scheme. the terms of which were clear and just
in which men of ascertaned character and
sufficient financial strength were interested, TO
span the river with a suitable bridge structure
We have often spoken of this necessity and
have put forth cogent reasons why men OF
reputation and capital should undertake the
enterprise. In cunningly devised circular,
Mr.. Greene has printed extracts from these col
umns in such shape as to convey the impress
sion that THE TRIBUNE indorses his bill. Moth
ing could be further from the fact
Several of the provisions which he has in
serted in his measure are dangerous and wrong
To give the Commissioners it seeks to create
the right to locate the New-York terminus OF
the bridge anywhere between Tenth and
One-hundred- and d-eighty- SITS. is prepos-
ferrous Nor is the character of the pro-
posed Commission pleasing either as to the
three men named in the bill or as TO the
privilege conferred upon the Governor Of
naming the other two. 1t happens at this time
that Ncw-Yorlx possesses a schcming wire
puller and dcmagogue as its Governor rather
than a patriotic man. The Republican Legis-
lature should do nothing that adds one mite to
Governor Hills patronage, since he makes
business of using all such opportunities for his
personal advantage.
In any event, when the Legislative grant is
made for so stupendous an undertaking, every
thing about it should be open and honest. It's
franchise rights should be reasonable and spe-
cifcally stated and those who are behind it
should be known. Judge Grccne's bill pos
sesses no public merit whatever.
