Although the eagle may figure officially Is
tho National bird of this country, there are
many patriotic citizens who are inclined TO
doubt as to whether it should not be supplanted
by the canvas back duck. The latter certainly
appeals more strongly than the eagle to their
palate, their heart-an organ closely connected
with the digestion to their National pride
II is therefore with interest that the readers OF
THE TRIBUNE will peruse in to-days issue
letter dated from Havre de Grace the Mecca
of the canvas-bsck hunters, In which one Oh
the latter discusses the rival merits OF "sneak
hoy, and :" sink box" the superior advan-
tages of iron decoy ducks over those made OF
wood, and the unsportsmanlike device of shoot
ing the fowl with cannon mounted upon a
swivel instead of with fowling-piece. Can
vas-backs are becoming every year rarer and
more difficult to obtain, and brace OF these
shy birds furnishes greater cause for pride
to sportsman than almost any other kind Of
feathered game.

TIE xEyENuEs OF congo.

while the illustrious founder of the State OF
Canon Is renewing his acquaintance with his
sountrymen and resting from his labOrs, the
U,,,e itself is passing through serious crisis,
'.aor the issue of which its future welfare in
oreat measure depends There is now in session
- BRUSSELS Technical Commission, which is
Considering and is to decide the question
,rhether or not the State shall be permitted 10
mise by means of customs upon imports the
revenue necessary for its governmental func-
lions In this Commission are represented adj
the Powers that signed the Congo Treaty at
Rerlin in 1885 except Holland, which is strong
10 opposed to the tariff and has asked Belgium
m propose a subsidy scheme instead. What
will be the outcome of the Commissions de-
liberations it is impossible to predict. But
,his seems certain, that unless the Congo State
he promptly provided with an adequate reve-
rue its interests will be impaired, its progress
checked it's good fame furnished, and the cause
of civilization in Central Africa intellectually
injured.
This is the situation The work Of found
inc the State cost the King OF the Belgians
81 75O, 900; and for nearly six years he has
pel sonaIly borne the expense OF maintaining
Il minus about 100000 year from export
dnes. The cost of maintaining the State has
never been less than $4O 900 in one year, and
the building of new stations and new roads and
the extension of the police system have swelled
the sum now to S85O,O00. To meet this the
King of the Belgians can give only 100000
and the Belgian Government 100000. Ii
we add to these sums Sl25, 900 export dues,
there is still left deficit of 1925, 900. Nor
is this all The recent Anti-Slavery Congress
at Brussels imposed upon the State the duty
of making greatly extended efforts to suppress
the slave trade, to do which, will, OF course,
cost much money. Where is the money to
come from?
There are those who oppose the imposition
of tariff. They are sticklers for preserving
unaltered the Treaty of 1885, which forbids
the levyng of duties on imports for space OF
twenty years and as a substitute measure they
propose subsidy to be subscribed by the
signatory Powers. But why? And why not
give Congo the right to establish tariff sys-
TEN? Such right is enjoyed by the great
chartered companies whose territories surround
the Congo State British, German, French and
| Portuguese. All these colonies enjoy sus-
| tanning revenue from customs on imports. Why
not let Congo do likewise? Why not, in brief,
| invest it with all the powers, as well as impose
| upon 1T the responsibilities of independent
| Statehood? Mr.. Stanley, the greatest living
| authority on African affairs strongly fayOrs,
we believe, such course. 1t is to be hoped
that his counsels will prevail at the Belgian
capital.

WHAT rs AND WHIT IS TO BE.

One of the closest and most interested OBJ
servers of the election, its accompaniment and
consequences. has doubtless been the accom-
plished Englishman who has mastered the in
tricacies of American politics more thoroughly
than any other foreigner of his generation
Professor Bryce has had the good fortune to
witness at close range one OF the most CON-
plete transformations ever accomplished upon
a public stage in time of profound peace.
He has seen the party in power defeated by
an overwhelming. majority of voters, and he
has seen this unparalleled reversal accomplished
without excitement and accepted without Bit
terness. SO far as we have observed, not the
smallest explosion of wrath has been recorded.
In fact, millions of the disappointed have found
that there is not little humor in the situation.
The Democratic majority is so large as to be
grotesque, and Republicans meeting for the
first time since last Tuesday are pretty sure
to laugh before they speak.
This sort of good-natre, which accepts an
accomplished fact in politics and government
cheerfully, and even contrives to extract O
sunbeam from the cucumber, will Impress Pro-
lessor Bryce as most admirable quality we
may be sure. This striking exemplifcation of
the National temperament will not compel
him to revise any opinion which he has already
formed and expressed but it can scarcely fail
to deepen his appreciation OF American candor
and common-sense Popular government is
perfectly safe in the hands of q people who
pay such loyal devotion to the fundamental
principle Of their own institutions.
| This good nature which accepts the verdict
of the polls without repining, and which is alto
gether praiseworthy, is very different thing
| from the negligence which leaves millions I'M
represented or only negatively represented in
| that verdict, and which is in every respect
worthy of condemnation and the two ought
never to be confounded. In many districts OF
the country the great Democratic majority OF
votes cast last Tuesday signifies change OF
public sentiment only indirectly, since 1t does
not include majority of the votes that
| might have been cast. The tens of thou.
sands of Republicans who chose to express
their discomfort or their Indifference by stay
| ing at home would have been deserving
Of more respect il they had gone to the polls
and helped to vote their party into retirement.

1t would seem that Chicago ought to revise
and amend her police force before she throws
omen the doors of the Worlds Fair and invites
all the world to enter. People have prejudice
against a city whose official guardians are not
trustworthy, and DR.. Mcpherson, OF Lyons
this State, brings a serious charge against the
Chicago police force, which demands ptompr
and thorough investigation.
