hardly dusky native or emigrant from Jamaica
who will not proclaim himself British SUI
iect and raise a loud clamor for protection. Inc
influence of England has been enlarged in Cen
trail America by its treaty engagements WIN
Nicaragua It's convention with that country
arms it with responsibilities which are pro-
hibited by the Clayton Bulwer Treaty
The Importance of this subject is increased
by the work now in progress on the line OF the
Nicaragua Canal The reservation lies directly
north of Greytown, the Caribbean terminus Oh
the proposed waterway. If the canal is to be
completed British influence ought to be exclud-
ed from the domestic affairs of the adjacent
coast. With the growing probability OF con.
tict in the reservation between the negroes ana
Nicaraguans and of the Intervention OF Eng
land as required by its treaty engagements IN
support of home rule, there is ground for de-
nouncing the Crayton-Bulwer Convention ana
renouncing the obligations of the dual protec-
torate of the canal There is an opening here
for a clear and decisive canal policy on the part
of the United States.

opENTNc FOR CANAL DIPLOMACY.

The anomalous relations of the Mosquito Res
crvaton as described yesterday in our staff CORE
spondent's letter from Bluefelds have direct
bearing upon the diplomacy of the interoceanic
canal. Nicaragua possesses nominal sover-
eighty over the coast stretching northward from
Greytown for distance of about $50 miles
BY treaty engagements with Great Britain
very large measure of home rule is guaranteed
in the Indian reservation. Home rule means
negro domination. There is an Indian chief
at the head of the Territorial Government but
he is controlled by negro Attorney General
and all the officials and judges are blacks. The
reservation makes it's own laws, collects its
own customs revenue, and is virtually indie
pendent of Nicaragua; and these large priv
ileges of self-government are grounded upon
the English treaty. Nicaragua covets this
territory, which is hers only in name. The
Bluefelds River is rapidly becoming the centre
of most profitable banana trade The Great
River leads into one of the finest mahogany
belts in Central America. The streams further
north are reputed to have gold in their beds.
The Mosquito Coast is very valuable one, and
Nicaragua aspires to drive out the Jamaica
negroes and to establish her customs line from

an impending conflict for the possession of the
reservation.
In the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty Great Britain
agreed not to extend her influence nor to make
use of her alliances in Central America. This
was practically the condition upon which the
privilege of uniting in joint protectorate Of
the Nicaragua Canal was granted to England by
the United States. The existing arrangements
for maintaining negro domination in the reser-
| walton constitute direct violation of the con-
diton upon which the joint protectorate was
sanctioned. Great Britain by the terms of the
treaty made with Nicaragua is the guardian of
| the rights of the reservation. If any conflict
arises between the Nicaraguans and the negroes
| an appeal will be made TO England. There is
not a negro family in Buehelds which docs not
| have a British flag reserved for emergencies.

THE ADIRoNDACKS AND THE RAILROADS

The zeal which has recently been displayed
in behalf of the North Woods may be accepted
as indicating the growth of wholesome sentl-
ment. 1t would be a mistake, however, to
imagine that these efforts have been inspired
exclusively by an unselfish interest in the for
ests. Except for the alarm felt by owners OF
railroads now skirting and traversng the will
derness at the prospect of strong competition
most of the determined hostility manifested
against the projected Adirondack and st. Law
renee road would have been lacking. This
fact NAV not be creditable to the people of the
State, who have a noble domain to preserve,
hut il is fact which might as well be aclInowl-
edged. The discussion of DR.. Webb's enter
prise has expressed and stimulated not little
sincere and honest interest in the welfare OF
the Adirondack region, but it has also afforded
an opportunity for the display OF considerable
hypocrisy and vast amount of ignorance.
The Chateaugay Railroad has been perhaps
the most ruthless and destructive OF all the In
yaders of the forests. In fact, it has been so
active and persistent in stripping the territory
through which it runs as to suggest to those who
are familiar with its operations the rather start
ling reflection that the time may not be far
distant when there will be little left along the
line worth transporting. Possibly this consid-
Grafton may account for the rumor that the
principal owners of the Chateaugay Railroad,
who happen also to be largely interested in the
Delaware and Hudson, had strong hopes of
selling it to DR.. Webb not long ago, and that it
was his refusal of their offers which suddenly
opened their eyes to the wanton immortality OF
building new railroads through the woods. 1t
is Just possible, likewise, that disappointment
over DR.. Webb's failure to perceive that pos
session of the Northern Adirondack was essen
tial TO his project may account for some small
part Of the general and laudable uprising in de-
fence of the forests.
But whether there is any foundation for these
rumors or not we hope that the lawful author
tiles will not rest satisfied with single ex-
ample, however conspicuous and excellent of
their zeal and fidelity. Under the decision of
the Attorney General and the Land Board there
seems 10 be no doubt that suits for trespass can
be instituted against at least two railroad com
panies now engaged in despoiling the Adiron-
daclls. If this view is correct no time ought to
be wasted. Now, while public sentiment is
aroused determined effort should be made to
eject these squatters. Let those who have re-

The advocates of Sunday opening of the Mu-

The advocates of Sunday opening of the Mu-
scum of Art have every reason to be gratited
with the result of the first trial of the expert
ment. The Museum was open yesterday from
/ to p. m, and during the six hours about
10, 900 persons entered the building. The at
tendance was not so large as had been expected
for on some holidays it has run up to $4,000 or
moro: but the fact that there were 10000
visitors proves that Sunday opening will meet
an obvious want. The class of people attracted
were precisely those whom it is sought to benefit
by this change Of policy. They were as orderly
and well-behsved as could be desired

The mining and manufacturing development IN
the Southern States does not seem to have wrought
great diminution In the cotton crop. At
Charleston, S. c., the principal point Of export
for this staple, the shipments SO far have been
unusually large, and there are still nearly $4,000
bales on the wharves, against only 500 at tho
same period last year. In Georgia, at least cot
ton is still king and while the planters are slowly
yielding to the advice diversity their crops, 10
is likely that for many years to come the Southern
hills will be white with the opening bols.

again. and Justice Taintor is to be commended
for his summary action in holding the blueooat
for trial on charge of assault. The club is a
good thing rightly used. 1t may be some ex-
cuse for the policeman in this case that he is only
twenty-t three years old and has been on the force
only six months. Obviously he needs severe

The order of the Bridge Trustees to make the
promenade free goes into effect to-day. 1t is
mistake to suppose that the Legislature decreed
the abolition of tolls on this part of the structure
The law passed shortly before the close OF the last
session simply authorized the trustees TO allow
foot passengers to cross without paying Tor the
privilege The matter is entirely in the discretion
of the trustees, and tolls may be restored al any
time if the experiment of a free Bridge does not
result as satisfactorily its advocates expect For
rew days at least the number OF foot passengers
will doubtless be large on account OF the novelty,
and there will be need Of efficient police work to
prevent trouble. The number Of habitual users
of the promenade is, however, not likely to be
greatly increased, since the toll of onehfth OF
cent was too insignificant to be burden on any
one

Governor Hills whitewashing canal investiga-
ton is to begin tomorrow. 1t is evident that
the public in general will be more interested in
the processes than in the results. The purpose
of the appointment Of the committee was to make
it appear that the administration OF the canals
under Democratic Superintendent OF Public
Works has been all that the most pure-souled
patriot could desire. There is moderate de-
gree of curiosity as to how the committee will
proceed to bring this about. 1t is understood
that General Mcmahon intends TO begin as far
back as the time when Mr.. butcher the only
Republican head of the State Department OF
Public Works, was in office. Mr.. butcher served
from 1880 to 1888. The Republican party has
naught to fear from an inquiry into his ad-
ministration.

Some entertaining political gossip relating to
the Democratic side of the house will be found
in an Albany letter printed on another page
1t appears that the tendency of things is toward
the nomination of Mr.. Flower for Governor, and
Speaker Sheehan, who is likely to get the second
place on the ticket, is quoted as saying with
confidence that Flower is the coming man. OF
course the New-York Congressman is expected
TO open his "bar'r' with generous hand, and
under d. b. Hills guidance the big campaign
fund will be used not only in electing the Demo-
cratic State ticket but in returning'a Legis-
lature Democratic in both branches, so that if Mr.
Hill should be nominated for President, his sue
eessor as Senator would surely be Democrat.

The Brooklyn Aldermen, in default Of something
better to do. have been providing themselves

an Alderman should be furnished with directory
rather than a dictionary or an encyclopaedia In

OF the members of this interesting body, which
Mayor Chaplin once described as Intelligent pro-

of the business though, is that the proposition
