THERE is wisdom in the determination
of the Czarowitz to go travelling about in
Europe. A member of Russia royal
family is safer in almost any other part of
the world than he is in the land of the
Romanoffs. Probably if the Gar would
90 off travelling and agree never to return,
the Nihlists might be willing to give him
a chance to die in bed, which is lore than
he has now.

of sturdy sense and independence among

New York Central is a good employer, and

The American fishermen of the north

unfairly treated. They are excluded from

ing to Mr. Blaine, belongs to Uncle Sam,
while Englishn.en and Canadians take ali
the seals they choo,c This, they think,
rather poor way of protecting AmerI-
can labor or Of building mp our decayIng
marine service But they do not sell
their ships or give them away, nor do
they scrupulousy respect the rights of the
Alaska seal company. 1t is very easy in
deed to register their sChOOners under the
Canadian law, and then with the British
flag flying they become as fearless pOaCherS
as the best of them. Under Uncle Sam 5
flag they are liable to seizure and contisca-
tion but under the Canadian flag they are
safe, even if owners, crew and commanders
are American. SO much is settled since
Sir Julian told Mr.. Blaine to keep his
hands off British fishermen. This con
dition of things is said to very largely
prevail, and some authorities have ii that
this unlicensed fleet of seal hunters is two
thirds of American ownership. If this be
the case SaIisbury's Difference to the Can
adian protest against closing the sea seems
grotesque, and the traditional Yankee
sharpness is again vindicated.

NEW YORK CENTRAL OUTLOOK.
Much Uneasiness Is Felt by the Railroad
Ohiciais.

NEW YORK. Aug. 19.-An air of un-
easiness reigned about the Grand Central
depot this evening. and for the first time
in several days Webb and Voorhees,
are spending the night in the depot. The
emergency had evidently arisen
to induce the New York Central officials 10
anticipate developments that might re-
quire their attention at any moment. The
cause of their anxiety, which appeared
clearly in their unusual aversion
to making comments on the situation, was
explainable BY the events Of the forenoon.
This episode was an interview between
Vice President Webb and Chief Sargent
of the brotherhood of locomotive fremen.
In this conference Webb was placed In
the situation of doing most of the talking
In a cordial manner he cOmplimented

the latter was the head, for the manner IN
which IL had remained true to the Central

every opportunity TO say that
the fremen appreciated the compliment
and would continue in the future as In
the past. true 10 the interests Of the rail-
road and not join the ranks OF strikers,
but the wiley chief engineer did not say
ANYTHING There was an APP
pearance OF unwllllngness 10 tax al
any length on the part of the sergeant.
This interview caused uneasiness. Neither
Webb nor Voorhees, had much to say this
evening. Nothing further has been
heard from Powderly or the leaders of the
knights Of Labor.

ST. PAUID Mimi. = This is a great
crop year for Minnesota. Besides the
raising of forty three million bushels of
wheat. Minnesota will raise fifty million
bushels of oats. Oats is an important
item this year to Minnesota farmers,
for while this state had big yield of oats,
there is big shortage in the states south,
and the result is that Minnesota oats sell
already this year for 40 cents per bushel
or 35 cents net to farmers, as against only
16 cents net last year. The yield of corn
is estimated at thirtv-one million as
against twenty-five million last year. Bar
ley nine million by fifty five thousand;
potatoes six million and fax two million.
The estimated value of these crops is

FRANCE does not propose to permit it.
self to be injured by such law as the Nc
Kinley bill would be- Having heard of
the increased duties on its products which
that bill seeks to impose, it has set about
little retaliation in advance Upon grain
it imposes an i'm port duty of fifteen cents
bushel, unless it comes from the United
States, in which case the duty is thirty
three cents busLel. Now, as it has
been carefully explained 10 the western
farmers by the tariff economists that the
duty imposed on our imports really comes
out of the foreign producers, they will
easily understand that this high duty
which France imposes on their grain will
come out of their pockets. If the truth
has been told them by their teachers and
leaders, grain will be no higher in France
because cf this duty If the rule is good
for anything it is bound to work both
WAYS. OF course the effect will be to ex-
clude American grain from France, to
lessen by so much our foreign market for
breadstuffs, to increase the home staying
surplus and to decrease the price at the
farmers expense And so it comes about
that the stump orators who argued that
duties on silks and satins could not affect
plain farmers whose wives and daughters
wore calico and gingham, misled their
hearers most previously.
