THE ENGLISH TERDICT

"The London Times" in its annual summary
refers to two American events. One is the
fisheries dispute, which it remarks has been
"exacerbatcd by the violence of some politi-
clans in the United States" We had supposed
that the violence of the Canadian officials in
enforcing hostile legislation against American
vessels and in Withholding commercial and
treaty rights, which were freely enjoyed by
Canadian vessels in American harbors. had
been chiefly responsible for the revival OF the
fisheries question. If there have been outrages
of this nature the great English journal. which
has recently entered upon its second century,
has neglected to record them. Those terrible
fellows. the American politicians, have made
all the trouble, it seems, by their unsecmly
displays of patriotic Indignation. We might
be inclined to argue this question, if the annual
censor were not so accurate and emphatic as he
is in referring to the only other American event
which, deserved serious consideration on the
last dav of the year. This is the Presidents
message. "The London Tines represents
English opinion as faithfully as Mr. Tenniel
succeeded in doing in his cartoon. when it
says:
Mr.. Cleveland's message to Congress at the opening
OF the present session likely TO reanmate the mort
bund parties Of United States by raising new and
vital ISSUE Tho Presidents condemnation OF the ex-
isting tariff IS based theoretically on frcetrade
grounds but on the practical argument that It is mon
trous to extract from the pockets Of the community
taxes to the amount Of many millions, not required
for the ordinary business OF government Neverhe-
less both Proectionists and Free-Traders perceive
that II Mr. Cleveland's policy be carried out, great
advance will DO made toward freetrade. On this
issue 1t seems probable, parties will be reconstructed
ana the Presidential contest Of 1888 decided 1t is
still possible, however, that Mr.. Cleveland may DO
forced 10 recede from his position by the mdty and
the divisions Of bis followers.
This is the English verdict on the message,
"a great advance will be made toward free
trade" if the Presidents policy be carried out.
This woighty sentence contains full and adc-
quate explanation of the acclamations with
which the message was hailed in England and
Of the extravagant compliments which have
been paid to tho President by the London and
provincial press. England rejoices to-day in
the hope that President Cleveland will BIO re-

PUBLIC REVENUE And CURRENCY

The revenue of the Treasury for the half
year ending with December shows an increase
Of SIl 100000. including only 5000, 900 for
December. In some unexplained way, the re-
ceipts for December in 1886. which were
S2S, 622.s15 when added to the receipts for
five months ending with November, which
were S152, O6O,l93, appear in tho Treasury
ftatements to make total of $751;. l93,O5S for
tho six months. A decrease of 100000 ap-
pears in the customs receipts. indicating
moderate decrease in imports, which has also
been foreshadowed by returns for this port.
In the internal revenue an increase Of S1,1OO,-
600, and in miscellaneous receipts an increase
Of 100000 appear for the month of Deccm-
Der. The disbursements fall far short of those
in December, 1880. which were SIS. 4Sa7'S.

elected so as to carry out with tho approval OF
the American electorate the free-trade policy
defined in his message Democratic politicians
will be occupied the greater part OF this year
in ingenious and insidious attempts to explain
away tho message as deliverance on the
Treasury surplus without reference to the
theory of free trade. The practical English
nation will not be deceived by the timidity
and divisions Of the Presidents followers. IL
has recognized in him the leader OF the free
trade movement in America by which it ex-
poets to profit largely in future.

The Railroad Commissioners have lnvesu-
gated the accident on the elevated road IN
West Broadway on December 90. which so mar
rowly escaped being fearful calamity, and the
result of their inquiries is published to-day.
They find Foreman Disbrow, who was complet-
ing repairs near Franklin ST., alone responsible
for the mishap. He had partly loosened rail.
and left it with the spikes half drawn when he
saw the train bearing down upon him. He had
been half dozen years in the company's en-
ploy and had shown himself careful and
capable. The chances are that he had run the
Same risk with partly loosencd rails before, and
il may we'll be hoped that the company has
taken measures to prevent like action on the
part Of any other foreman or track hand
Disbrow has properly been discharged. The
Commissioners also learned that there was no
timber guard-rail along the west track at The
point where the engine ran off, and they recon-
mend that the guard-rail be carried as near
the point Of the switch as possible. This tim

face of this statement 1t is not surprising that
Speaker Carlisle found it convenient to be too
busy to come to New-York and address the
recent Tammany Qualification meeting. This
body having set itself up in direct opposition to
the Presidents message. it will be interesting
to watch the future treatment Of its claims
for Federal patronage.

Whether or not it was wise to increase the
salaries of the Dock Commissioners. the act of
the last Legislature raising their compensation
from So. 1000 to $1,000 ought not to be nulli6ed
by the Mayor or any other city official. The
Dock Commissioners allege that they have not
got the larger amount through failure of the
Sinking Fund Commission to act. OF course
the increase will have to be paid, and nothing
will be gained by postponing the matter If
the Mayor approved the bill last year, why
should he object to carrying it out now?

The efforts of Secretary Whitney to establish
. gun foundry at the Washington Navy Yard
have not met with the best of success. The
failure seems to be due in great part to incOm-
petence and lack of mechanical skill in the
Ordnance Bureau. In the case of the first gun
made there the boring tool broke inside Of the
muzzle. Now it is learned that the breech-
block for the new 1O-inch gun for the monitor
Miantonomah has stuck fast in the gun and has
got to be bored out. This involves not only
several extra weeks of labor, but the block
itself, which cost thousand dollars, is a total
loss

OCEANS OF OIL.

A correspondent writing from Douglas
to the Omaha Herald says: when
received your last issue of April &c, | no
ticed IN article in regard to the Wyoming
oil fields, and while your correspondent is
correct in his statements, he does not give
this country credit for what it is worth.
l have lived here for the last five years,
and can say with perfect truth that ]
know every path and brook within five
counties, and that is more than any other
white man can say. | have hunted and
fished this country a thousand times over.
| can point to an oil spring the output OF
which is over 10000 gallons of green oil
per day. | can show a thousand and one
oil springs, of different sizes and at differ.
ent locations. L often have heard in ho-
tells and barrooms of oil springs or oil
well which flowed 1000 and 5000 barrels
per day, and l always had my doubts
about it; but l have seen this oil spring
with my own eyes, and can prove what |
am saying"
The Omaha Bee also takes up the sub.
iect OF Wyoming oil in these words:
'The definition of Wyoming signifies
tall grass" During the days preceding
cattle raising on the great plains of this
territory the name was appropriate, but
nov it is to the casual observer one of the
things of the past. The buffalo, elk and
all other animals of the plains had the
richest pasture on the globe, which
abounded in the greatest quantities.
Among the most noted valleys of those
days for tall grasses were the Sweetwater,
Sand, Horse and Antelope creeks, Popo-
agie, Twin creek and all the tributaries of
Wind river. Popoagie has a similar
significance, tall grass" indicating the
tallest of tall grass. 1t is upon this latter
named stream, in the early days when the
Indians resigned supreme, where the first
oil discovery was made and which now is
owned by four of Omaha's citizens, Rog-
ers, Murphy, Lovett and Lowe. From
this discovery and development of this
valuable property has resulted in the ex-
plorations and surveys of the entire coun
try lying between the Rattlesnake and
Big Horn ranges and between Oil noun
tain and Wind river ranges, defining what
is known as the main oil belt of Wyoming
Territory. Some ten years have elapsed
since these Omaha parties first visited the
field and after close observations. geologi-

cal and scientific surveys at great expense,
followed by the drill, three wells were
completed which are producing oil with
a flow Of 600 barrels per day. This shows
what grit and tenacity have done and 1t
will soon indicate to the people of Omaha
the bonanza this quartette has has within
its grip when the railroad reaches the
field. A beautiful green oil is reported to
have been found near the east end of the
field and as soon as the section, town, and
range can be positively defined, further
information will be given, the sample
shown is of very rich quality"

VIZ ADMIRE the frankness of the Salt
Lake Tribune when it says: I'VE do not
think the criticisms OF Chief Justice
Fuller in the Republican press are in the
best Of taste. That he has been a Demo
crat all his life is not a legitimate indict-
ment for Republicans to make. because
the present is n Democratic administra-
ton and men are foolish to imagine that
any one save a Democrat would receive a
trust of that kind. That he was a cop
perhead in the war and was intensely Bit
ter and partisan does not count, because
at that time party passions were furious
and men on both sides talked in the very
bitterness of their souls. The question is,
how is the man now? His neighbors, his
fellow lawyers, all of the parties endorse
him as a subtle lawyer and an honorable
man, who as chief Justice will make for
himself a record that will by and by cover
his bier with laurels. They all agree, too,
that outside of his legal attainments and
his partisanship, he is a thorough Ameri-
