The Collector Was Wrong.

BOSTON, Nov. 1.-THE Supreme Court
of the United States has reversed the
decision of the Circuit Court here, and
set aside the ruling of the Collector of
Customs in the case of the American
Net and Irvine Company. Plaintiffs inn
ported some Irvine which was classed by
the collector as linen thread The firm
brought suit in the Circuit Court,
claiming that the Irvine should be
classed as gilling Irvine. The Circuit
Court, upheld the ruling of the collec-
tor and the case was taken to the Su-
preme Court, which holds that the
Importation is gilling Irvine and sub
ject to-15 per cent less duty than as
sessed. More than 800, 900 are involved
n the case

IF confidence were votes, all of the
candidates for speaker would be elected.
1t is noticeable that the fighting be-
tween the friends of several of the lead
ing candidates has again taken on the
vicious and personally abusive style that
was SO much deprecated by the cool
headed friends of all the candidates
when it was first begun several months
ago. These hot-heads seem to lose sight
of the fact that when they abuse a
candidate every word they say is treas
ured up by the republicans for future
use against the entire democratic party.
The great mass of the democratic party
has no favorite for speaker; all t ask
is that the man selected be sound upon
the fundamental principles of the party.

MR. HARRISON is usually very careful
Of the language he uses in his public
S, g 4ches, but he made a break in his
speech of welcome to Senior Montt, the
new CHILEAN minister, that will be
snickered at in diplomatic circles all
over the civilized world. After telling
the minister how glad he was to receive
him, he told him of the policy of this
government in dealing with it's
neighbors unfortunate enough to suffer
from internal dissentions and civil war.
Said he: at is our policy to preserve an
honorable and strict neutrality, as was
done during the late war in Chilli.
Tempting commercial and political adj
vantages may be offered for our aid or
influence by one or the other Of the con-
tending parties, but this we have not
deemed to be consistent with the obliga-
tions of international honor and good
will" 1t surely must have been difficult
for SCnor Montt to keep his face
straight while listening to this high
flown talk, in view of the very short
time since the newspapers of the entire
world were ringing with charges of bad
faith made by this government against
Hipolyte, the present president of Hayti,
because of his refusal to cede the Mole
st Nicholas to the United States, in
keeping with the promise he had made
to obtain the support of this govern
ment to aid him in driving President
Legitime out of Hayti, and in assuming
the presidency thereof himself. That
was an odd sort of honorable neutrality,
wasn't it? And Senior Montt must have
wondered if Mr. Harrison considered his
bargain with the Insurgent Hipolyte
consistent with the obligations of IN
ternational honor and good will" Even
Mr. HarrisOn's friends admit that he
made a mistake in the phrasing of this
speech, short as it was.

THE petition which has been presented
to the selectmen, asking that a town
meeting be called for the purpose of
taking such action as may be thought
advisable in reference to making altera-
tions in the City hall building, fixes the
hour at 8 a. m. A forenoon town meet
ing will be novelty for Waterbury.
Only those belonging to upper tendon
will be present and the plan to demolish
the old City hall will in all probability
go through with arush. So far, so good.
But it would be safe to wager that after
this is done another meeting will be
called and the matter of providing court
accommodations will be given such a
setback that it will not be able to show
its head for long time. We all admit
that improved court facilities should be
provided, but the rights of the people
must he respected. The holding of a
town meeting at a time when fonr-
fifths of the voters of the town are I'M
able to be present, is wrong.

Thors are some men who oil their

While in their hearts lie blacklist

Some steal in stealth and win the

Some boldly dare, and win q fell

When talk assaults, its deeds are
very slow
TITS subtle silence strikes the quick

We may often estimate the charac-
ter of persons by noticing what they
admire and love the most, il the
grand, sublime and beautiful, we may
rest assured 1t is the reflection of their

The "COrsair."

Rice's "Corsair" company, of which
much has been said and written, and
which has had long runs in New
York, Chicago and nearly all of the
cities of the country, will be seen at
the Grand Opera house tomorrow
night.
The "Corsair" is one of the most
brilliant burlesques of the day. While
it may may be making a somewhat
reckless statement to say that Mr..
Rice has surpassed himself in this
production, yet, in point of stage
mounting and costuming, the state
ment would doubtless be true. The
burlesque is richly and beautifully
staged. There are ten scenes, and all
of them are gorgeous and brilliantly
effective in combination of colors.
The notable scenes are the slave ba-
zaar. the pirates grotto, the gardens
of the Pasha, Conrad's ship, the
Grover of the Seas"; thd harem
STAN boul by Moonlight, and the fin
ale transformation scene, the palace

RELIGIOUS.

BY j. s. SKEET.
The real foundation of all religious
creeds is the alteration and worship
of q comprehensive or Incompetent
sible deity, according to the minds of
mankind, it matters not what each
denominations definition of this
majestic and wonderful power is.
From this standpoint ali are correc
at the basis, it being the object to
attain the same purpose under their
respective forms, which all feel most
conducive to their own theories,
honesty and conceptions.
In this respect, religions have q
solid foundation to promote the glo-
rIous benefits emanatin & from the
one great source. Few persons
oppose the foundation, but many deny
the building. There are many
instructors with good intentions Of
benefitting their belief, but work ca, b
ia opposition to their sectarian inter-
est by ridiculing those who cannot see
though the same dogmatic spec.
tacles as themselves, and by arbi-
trary measures trying to force upon
others the forms and discipline best
adapted to their own minds, natures
and ideas. True Christianity will
never try to impedes the search for
truth, nor will it force itself against
the sincerity of the heart. There are
no faults In the fundamental princi-
Piles of religion, only where over
Jealous, narrow-minded compulsory
teachers are found, there is where the
error lies. Persuasion to the truth is
one thing, forcing mankind against
ing on earth that will draw con-
verts to truth quicker than by
having respect and liberality tor
others thoughts and feelings. Free
thought Is the father of wisdom and q
powerful detective in the employ Of
truth; with these two comb ined,
religion will never find better SER
wants. Bigotry Is merciless
tyrant enchanting and enslaving
its many subjects, mind, body,
and soul. Free thought and liberty
are god.like rulers, striking the
shackles of prejudice, arrogance and
fear from off the struggling slaves of
forced superstition, and wherever the
rule, Christianity will never be the
loser. BY erecting a noble building
upon its grand foundation it would
attract thousands by its magnificence
that now willingly turn away be-
cause honest ideas, others may
not be in sympathy with are
treated with scorn and contempt.
Christianity's spsre will never be
complete until the bars of free thought
and liberality form the cross sur
mounting the cathedral of her re-
ligion. 8. J. SKEEr.
