PORTLGE EEE MISRT[E.

Lord Salisbury's proposal that the Delagoa
Bay controversy shall be submitted to arhi-
traitors has been readily accepted by the Portu-
guese Government. This is the ordinary diplO-
matte method of dispoSing Of international dis
putes of this nature, and it viii undoubtedly
prove effective in this instance. The cancella-
ton of the railway franchise was an act of bad
faith, of which the English investors had a
right to complain. The Portuguese Govern
ment has conceded the necessity for an indem-
nifty, and the arbitrator will simply be re-
.quired to assess the damages and to make an
adequate award. An amicabe adjustment of
the controversy may be confidently anticipated.
Meanwhile, public opinion in England will be
favorably impressed by the energy of the Adj
mralty in sending three men-of-war to Della
goa Bay.
The railway dispute is one Of the minor
aspects of this African controversy. The Portu-
gueSe Government with the open support of
Germany and France is deliberately striving to
obstIuct the progress of English settlement and
trade in that part Of the world. The Zambesi
is the chief artery of tropical Africa south of
the Equator. The colonization of the lake dis
trct to the north and of the vast tract of fertile
territory stretching southwark to the Transvaal
frontier is dependent upon free navigation of
the river. The Portuguese have been in pos
session Of the mouths of the Zambesi for long
time, and recently they have established one
or two permanent posts inland and have gar
risoned them They claim exclusive control over
the river, as they do over the railway projects at
Delagoa Bay. The English are determined 10
resist this exercise of sovereignty. Their re-
cent annexations are Of slight value unless they
have free entry and unrestricted trade on the
Zambes Moreover, the valley Of the Shire
and the great lakes Nyassa and Tanganyika
can only be approached by the same water
way. This vast region, discovered by Living
stone and his fellow missionaries and admin
istered in large part to-day by British trading
company, is included in the visionary Portu-
guese Empire stretching from ocean to ocean
The great work TO be done in Africa is the
extipation Of the slave traffic now conducted
by devastating hordes of Arabs. Porting uese
traders have supplied these Mahometan ma

fckers in human souls.

In one respect at least there ought to be an
unwonted display of patriotism this year. The
recent centennial caused the people generally to
supply themselves with flags and bunting to
larger extent than ever before, and all of this
material is now on hand and ready for use
And it ought to be used lavishly. Many people
are out of town, of course, and not few houses
are closed, but that is all the greater reason why
those who are still at their homes should do their
part without fail. Fewer fireworks and moro
flags Tapping in the breeze would be an agreeable
variation in our Fourth-of-July celebrations.

A "deadv wire cannot always be handled
with impunity, as witness an occurrence IN
Eighth ave yesterday. In removing such a
wire it came in contact with one or more hve'
wires, and three men who took hold of 1t re-
ceived violent shocks and narrowly escaped with
their lives. This is only one more illustration
of the danger that must constantly threaten
linemen and the unsuspecting public SO long as
overhead wires are permitted Five deaths
from shock by electrc-hght wires' occurred
in 1888 in this city. Probably every one Of
them was preventable; which raises the inter
esting question of the moral responsibility of
the companies for mansaughter.

A hint is thrown out in dispatch from Bis
marck that North Dakota may decide to have
a Legislature consisting Of only single house,
chosen by popular vote. This would be rad
ical departure from the usage which has pre-
vailed among our States thus far, and which
has not only worked well but has the
General Government for its model. There
does not seem to be any reason for change !;
still, if the North Dakotans think they can
effect an improvement their experiment will be
watched with interest.

1t will be seen from the proposals for the
employment of inmates of the prisons that
large variety of occupations must be pa oyided
for, owing to the limited number of persons
who can be set to work at any one trade This
will naturally cause no little confusion, and
the work of the prisoners will be much less
profitable to the State than it would otherwise
be. But, after all, profit is not the cardinal
consideration. The thing of prime importance
is to end the demoralizing ideneSs that has
gone on for more than year, and this will
now soon be accomplished.

1t is gratifying to hear that the Niagara Falls
Commissioners are opposed to all schemes having
for their object to convert the great wonder Of
Nature into booming water-power. Good. so
may it continue to be. Last winter desperate
effort was made to rush bill through the Legs

power syndicates. The raid will doubtless be
renewed in the next Legislature. But so long as
the Commissioners are vigilant in their opposition
to all such schemes, none of them will be likely to
succeed.
