TaE NEW DANCE.

Director Edward Strauss, the waltz king
of Vienna, is coming here to teach us the
new waltz which his brother Johann pro-
poses to introduce. He will bring his or
chestra with him. and as he discourses the
finest orchestral music in the world, he
VIII doubtless achieve success and gather
shekels The Pavilion will be too small to
mold the audiences which will gather to
hear him. They viii not be the smaller
by reason of his announcement that in his
judgment Americans are the best dancers
in the world. and that the new dance to be
successful must be taken up here.
His family have hereditary property in
tile waltz. This famous dance, which has
been popular for a longer period than any
other performance of the kind, was indigen-
GUS in Bohemia. But it did not become
known outside of its cradle until Johann
Strauss, the elder. took it up eighty years
ago and built on it his famous court waltz
in three-quarters time. This was much
more stately dance than the deux temps
waltz of our day, with the glide attach
ments. IL is amusing to read the sarcastic
lines in which Byron professed his disgust
at its immodesty. But perhaps for the very
reason that it was ponderous and hard to
learn, it never became popular outside Of the
court circle of Vienna. Boys and girls
want dance which is easily learned and
easily trode. Both the trois temps and the

CANADIAN Discomfort.


The financial condition of the Dominion
Government requires an increase in duties
which some of the provinces do not take
kindly to. The member from st. John,
New Brunswick. is reported as saying that
owing to the increased burden the Govern
ment was placing upon the maritime
provinces, he did not think it worth while
for New Brunswick to remain in the Con-
federation. This voice from the East pro-
duced an echo from the West in the form of
a telegram stating that all the newspapers
in British Columbia condemn the proposed
tariff bill as unjust and oppressive. There
does not seem to be any party bias in this
condemnation of a Government measure,
protests being signed by Liberals and Con-
servatives alike, On this side Of the line
we sometimes talk pretty plainly to Con-
gress, but we do not intimate that we want
to get out of the Union. Canada, however,
as province of Great Britain, cannot be
expected to cherish the national sentiment
which serves to moderate the tone of
Americans who are not pleased with the
legi Station Congress proposes.

THE CAUSE OF TRUSTS.

An anti-tariff paper says the protective
system was devised to create a monopoly

the country. The protective system was
devised, so far as it relates to this country.
about one hundred ears ago. 1t has been
continued ever since, with brief intervals of
revenue tariff which were so unsatisfactory
in results that after a period of trial the
protective system was re- established. So.
far from being the cause of trusts, the most
comprehensive and successful trust the
country has experienced is not protected
by tariff duties ON its product. There are,
OF course, industries which are prosecuted
both in this country and in others to which
the peculiar methods of the trust are APP
piled. Some years ago there was a great
cutlery against the steel rail trust. 1t was
said that the high duties on steel rails en-
abled American manufacturers to realize
excessive profits and that to prevent over
production iron works were paid to shut
down. But the duties on steel rails did not
enable the trust TO keep prices up. 1t will
be admitted that trusts are highly objection
able and criminal organizations, but they
exist independent of the protective system

BEHRING SEA NEG0TIATIoNs.

a London cablegram says the negOtia-
tions concerning the Behring Sea fisheries
are progressing satisfactorily. From all
the correspondent can hear arrangements
will result with which both the United
States and England will be content. 1t is
about time that some more definite an
nouncement than this should be made.
The sealing season is approaching, and
vessels are being fitted out as in former
seasons The release of the schooner Path
finder will encourage the Victorians to
continue in the business. The Pathfinder,
it will be remembered, was captured last
year by the revenue cutter Corwin and her
captain was ordered to report at Sitka. In
stead OF obeying the order he took his vessel
to Victoria. A short time ago she was re-
taken in Neah Bay, in the State of WASH
ington, where she had found refuge from
threatening weather. Her second capture
was defended on the ground that if the
first was justifiable she was fugitive from
justice. But Secretary Window has or
dered her release, and the Vietorians will
naturally conclude that the original capture
was not held to be iustliiable.

deux temps waltz fulfilled this requirement
Hence that dance, with its congener, the
galop, and its adaptation in the German,
has really been the only dance in vogue for
three-quarters Of a century.
Johann Strauss, the younger. now pro-
poses to revive the old court waltz TO this ex-
tent, that the actual waltz shall be preceded
by Slow and stately minuet polonaise,
and concluded by a similar majestic move
ment. In these new movements there will
be no clasping of waists, and barely deli
cate touch of fingers; but the dancers will
have ample opportunity to exchange tender
words and looks more expressive than
words. The innovation is open to the OBJ
lection which was fatal to the old court
waltz, it will require study and practice.

AN OLIVE BRANCH.

The attitude the friends of Governor Hill
have assumed toward Mr.. Cleveland has
seemed to warrant the assumption that the
contention between the two asDirants for
the Democratic nomination would make the
nomination of either somewhat hazardous
The Democracy cannot succeed in 1892
without New York, and there WAS a con-
fdent assertion on the part of Governor
Hills friends that the Democracy could not
have New York without taking Mr.. Hill as
its candidate. But an olive branch has
been extended to the Hill Democrats in the
form of an offer of the seat in the United
States Senate which Mr. Evarts will yaeate
on the 4th of March, 1891 OF course, to
carry out this programme the Democrats
have to carry the Legislature this fall. but
it is thought that with the Cleveland and
Hill forces working IN harmony this may
be done. The Democrats have TO gain
eleven members Of the Assembly to secure
a majority on joint ballot, but they are en-
c0uraged by the fact that about that num-
Der Of Republicans were elected by slend er
maiorities. If Mr.. Hill gets into the Senate
lie will doubtless hold his Presidential as
pirations in check~until 1896

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Lord Rosebery, who, as the Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs in Gladstones
administration, won general approval for
the adroi.ness with which he conducted the
difficult questions arising out of the Servo
Bulgarian war and the Greek desire for
territorial indemnity, in his recent speech
at Edinburgh discussed the questions of
home rule and the political future of the
Liberal party. expressing the belief that
the next election in Britain, whenever it
comes and whatever the result, would, in
all probability, for a generation at least,
settle the Irish question.
The New England Senators are deeply
interested in the proposition to establish
reciprocity treaties with the countries of
South America. Senator Chandler of New
Hampshire ls inclined to look with favor
on the proposition to establish reciprocal
relations with all the countries between the
Mexican border and the Isthmus of Pan
anna which would adopt our tariff system.
He maintains that while it would not be in
any sense an Abandonment Of any part of
our protective system, it would guarantee
to US the almost exclusive trade of those
countries.
Sir Samuel Baker, who has devoted so
much Of his time as an explorer to the Nile
regions, points out that Emin Pasha's CO.
operation with the Germans may in few
months result in the Equatorial province
being brought under their sway by an
alliance with King Mwanga of Uganda and
that they may secure control Of the White
Nile at GOndOkoro. He regrets that En-
gland loses an opportunity to profit in a re-
gion that has great future.
That ally of the Tories, Lord Randolph
Churchill, who has repeatedly manifested
an inclination to move on lines of his own
selection, has assaulted the Irish Land Pur-
chase Bill recently submitted to Parliament
by Safis6ury's administration and an
nounceS that he has a scheme of his own
which he will shortly submit for the con-
sideration of the Commons.
The opening of the Reichstag and the
Kaiser's speech are awaited in Germany
with the keenest interest. There are no
prospects of the load of taxation being
lightened, as the new Military Bill alone
provides for permanent increase of six
teen million marks in the annual expendi-
lures.
The Republican Tariff Bill will be re-
ported to the House about the middle of the
week. The Democratic members of the
Ways and Means Committee have aban-
daned the idea Of submitting minority
measure based on the Mills bill.

STANDS FIRM.

The Massachusetts, House of Represen-
tatlves have on two occasions declined to
indOrse the action Of individual Republi-
cans who demand a national tariff bill
shaped especially to suit the interests of
Massachusetts manufacturers. The House
rejected resolution asking for free coal
and free iron and also one protesting against
the imposition of duty on hides The
Herald attributes this action to party sub
serviency. but 1t is quite possible that the
Republican members Of the House take
more natural view of things than the news
paper in question. The demand for free
coal and free iron places the Massachusetts
manufacturer in antsgOnism TO American
industries They want coal and iron from
Canada because these materials can be i'm
ported without duty at trffle less cost tiian
American coal and iron from the West can
be furnished for. The production Of the
raw material is an industry as well as the
manufacture of raw material into finished
goods and there seems no reason why such
industries should be exposed 10 free eompe-

ELECrRIcIrY vs.. CABLES.

An opinion prevails Mt the East that
horse railroads are doomed, and that in a
very few years they will be replaced by
. roads on which the motive power will be
electricity. Facts in support of this belief
are published in an article in the last
ScribHer by Joseph Wetzler; and the
belief is Endorsed by such newspapers as
the Chicago Tribune, the New York Times
and the Boston Commercial Bulletin. The
American Street Railway Association, at
Its late meeting at Minneapolis, came TO the
same conclusion. II pronounced electricity
superior TO horsepower or the cable system,
and condensed its views IN the terse SEN
tence that electricity increases traffic, re-
duceS expenses and converts a loss into a
profit. These opinions are based on reports
from electric companies in ST. Paul, Mime
apolis, Cleveland Washington, Scranton,
Richmond and elsewhere.
These views will be regarded with sur
prise by the managers OF cable roads in this
State. For four or i've years experiments
OF an elaborate and costly nature nave
been conducted 10y the Market-streeI Com
pany and the Sutter-street Company in this
Guy with a view to testing the relative
merits of the cable system and the electric
system. Several gentlemen of scientific
at;ainments have devoted time to the in
curry. ana the owners of cable lines have
seen TO ii that their investigation was
not hampered by want of money.
But the conclusion TO which the COM
panies came in every instance was that
the cost OF generating the electricity
to haul city ears would be greater
than the cost Of hauling them by cable, and
so very reluctantly, the idea of adopting
the new power was abandoned. 4 very
thorough examination Of the question was
instituted before the Castro-street line was
opened, and it is understood that Colonel
Croker was quite anxious TO give electricity
trial. But there was no gainsaying the
figures which showed that in the present
state Of electrical science it would be more
expensive to use electrical power than TO
haul cars by cable, and the chances of in
terruption to the running Of the cars would
be increased.
1t has been pretty well demonstrated
that the cable system is difficult in cities
which are liable to heavy snow-storms, and
where moisture is converted into ice, and
remains CONCEALED for weeks together
Hence the prospect of the adoption of that
system in New York, Boston, Cleveland or
ST. Paul is not brilliant, though it works
well enough in Chicago, where snow and
ice are not altogether unknown. 1t would
not be surprising to see a general system of
electrical street railroads in those northern
cities, notwithstanding the expense of work
ing the dynamos. But it will require con-
siderable Improvement in electrical dyna-
mics to induce our companies to abandon
their cables. 1t is not too much to say that
our cable-cars afford more convenient, more
rapid and safer transportation than any
other city in the world enjoys. They will
not be given up until it is quite sure that a
substitute will be an Improvement.

the last five years paid the Sheriff over
$4,000 as fees and eompeEsations, which
the law allowed. The report covers period
Of twenty years, during which the affairs of
the Sheriff's office have been administered
with entire disregard of the obligations I'M
posed by law upon the Sheriff. No proper
record has been kept of his official acts, of
the manner of executing processes or of the
amount of legal fees received by him by
virtue Of his Office. If the Grand Jury is
puzzled over the amount of legal fees the
Sheriff has received, it is appalled, at in
dications Of illegal fees it has caught
glimpses of. The deputies. it says, are per-
mitted to eXtort any sum of money they
please from persons on whom they serve
processes. The doings of the Office seem to
be dark secret of the most Opaque kind.

A little excitement was created yesterday
at the scene of the tldal-canal excavation
by the actions &c one of the laborers. He
seemed to have been seized with a sudden
attack of insanity, and throwing his shovel
to one side commenced to yell and gesticu-
late in n wild manner. Some of his fellow
labOrers endeavored to restrain him, when
he ran away and sought refuge under the
machinery of the steam-sh0Yel. He was
taken out of his hiding place, but suddenly
broke away and started on fast run
toward FruItvale. No one followed him
and the fate of the unfortunate man could
not be learned.
The Fire Department was called out
Saturday night for fire in storehouse
near the foot of Park street. Thompson
Hose Company was among the first to re-
spOnd and stretched its hose, but it was not
sufficient TO reach the 6re from the nearest
hydrant by several hundred feet. After
the lapse of a considerable length of time,
during which the house was burned to the
ground, another hose-cart arrived and its
hose was coupled TO that of the first. a
stream was then turned on the embers, but
the force was not sufficient TO throw the
water more than five feet. BY good work
the flremen managed to prevent the fire
from spreading to the other buildings in
the neighborh0od. While Whidden Hose
Company of the West End was going to the
fire John Schuler and Martin Owens were
run over pS tne Cait, ana the IOTintr re-
ceiyed serious internal injuries.
