THE GRAPE PANIC.

The Board of Health appears to have acted
with business and ndiscretion rather than with
good sense in creating panic in the grape
market Great injury to producers has been
caused by precipitate haste in the condemnation
of fruit. The chemical mixture which has been
used in the vineyards for several years for the
purpose of preventing black or dry rot has been
recommended by the Department of Agriculture
after an exhaustive series Of practical tests. 1t
has been employed with conspicuous success,
and there has been "a marked improvement in
the grape crop, az shown by the fine condition
of the fruit in market this year. The Board of
Health, acting impulsively and without adequate
knowledge of the facts, has diScredted useful
method of grape culture and caused needless
apprehension and uneasiness which will dimin-
lsh temporarily the sale and consumption of
fruit
The official statement prepared by the De-
partment OF Agriculture ought to reassure house
holders and consumers, and cOunteract the evil
effects of superficial examination of few con-
signments of grapes by the Health inspectors.
The answer TO the mSchievous com
plants OF the inspectors is that over
a ton Of grapes sprayed eight times
with the Bordeaux copper mixture will be re-
quired in order to furnish poisonous dose for
single individual. This statement, made on
the authority of chemical analysts, ought to be
decisive. The presence of slight traces on the
stems is adequately explained by the dry
weather. In other seasons there have been
copious rains in September and the sulphate has
been washed off. 1t would be most unfortunate
if hue and cry raised against the Bordeaux
mixture were to prevent the future use of an
effective preventive OF fungus and the steady

Improvement of the grape crop in Northern
States.
The effect of the premature and ignorant
action of the Board Of Health has been to make
grapes temporarily drug in the Market anu

low cost by Italian and German wine-makers'

greatly increased in this way. Traces OF copper
are not found on the grapes, but on the central
stems where the action Of dew and rain has not
sntficed for It's removal When wine is made
the stems are treated with the fruit, and what
ever chemicals may adhere to them VIII be as
solved in the juice. The danger of poisoning
will thereby be greater than il the grapes are
eaten and the stems thrown aside. Happily
there is no reason to believe that anybody will
be poisoned either by the baskets OF luscious
Concord grapes now in market or by the de-
coctions of wine which may be prepared from
them. 1t is a senseless panic from which the
good sense of the public will quickly recoil.

MONEY AND BUSINESS.

The past week has been one Of unusual i'm
portance in two respects 1t has exhibited in
strong light the impotence of even the ablest and
most powerful Spectator TO maintain artificial
prices for grain in the face of such crops as have
been grown this year, and consequently exports
have increased. and large amounts Of gold have
been shipped from Europe. But it has also illus
trated the fact that the upward movement of
stocks has carried prices of some beyond the
equivalent of their earning power, so that unload
ing and exposures have naturally followed. The
obvious conclusion is that the upward movement
will have to be more discriminating hereafter. or
cease altogether. In the face of especially favor
able news regarding crops and general business.
stocks sustained a reaction from which q few have
not recovered. Since July 81, when the average
price was S55 90 stocks have risen more or less
every week until the average was $65 "a week
ago. but last week the average declined TO 500 So
only 10 cents per share lower than a week ago.
This fail was mainly due to n loss Of $40 10 in
Missouri Pacific on the declaration that dividends
had for three quarters been paid through personal
advances by individuals. who would make no
further advances for payment OF another dividend
not earned. Wall Street felt it was immoral for
man who does that sort of thing once not to
keep on doing il ever after. and while it has been
well enough known that the road lost traffic
heavily because Of short crops last year. and has

DESPERATE DEVICES At OTTAWA.

The partisanShip of the Canadian Govern
ment in dealing with the disclosures that have
come out concerning corrupt public officials has
reached point where it is not only gross but
immoral We commented the other day upon
its effort to turn Premier MERCER, of Quebec, out
of Office upon the mere suspicion of wrong
doing while demanding Of its followers in Parlia-
ment vote exculpating Sir Hector Langevin,
whose participation in corrupt transactions was
proved by sworn evidence of an indisputable
kind. This incident illuminated the plans of
the Abbott Government. IL was inconsistent
with a just. purpose. 1t threw discredit upon
men such as Sir John Thompson, whom we have
heretofore been disposed to regard as high
minded and honorable. 1t bore witness 10 the
fact that they were willing to 90 to any extreme
of injustice TO retain power. The worst that
can be said Of a Government is that it is willing
to defend rascality committed by its own po-
litcal friends and savagcly to avenge it upon
political enemies on the merest suspicion
The attack upon MIR. MERCER has taken a
particularly outrageous form. Ii cannot be de-
MED that the Pacaud incident is highly sug-
gestive of corruption, but the method employed
to chastise the Liberal leader is much like that
of dishonest judge who, being himself i'm
peached, proceeds to denounce and sentence the
most dangerous of bis foes without the formal
ity of trial. Lieutenant-G Governor Anglers, set
up in Quebec by the Tory Government at Otta-
Wa as the Crowns representative, has under
taken to depose the rightful and popularity
chosen authority of the Province as if his the
oret cal functions were still actual. He has as
sumed that the Crown, and not the Crowns Min
lister, is the real Governor of Canadian Prov
ince and that the power of the central authority
at Ottawa may at its pleasure overthrow the will
of the people OF Province in the choice Of their
rulers. This is dangerous doctrine. Governor
Anglers sustans TO Mr.. MERCER, both theoret-
ically and actually, the same relation which
Lord Stanley holds to Premier Abbott and
Queen Victoria to Lord Salisbury. II Anglers
is empowered to withhold supplies and writs of
election from Mr.. MERCER and to refuse his adj
vice-which means, Of course, to depose him
Lord Stanley can do similar things to Mr.. Alb
bott and the Queen to her Prime Minister Mr..
Mercier's guilt or innocence is a small matter
in comparison with this assertion of autocratic
functions.
Close on the heels of the scandalous vote ex-
onerating Sir Hector Langevin, and the equal
ly scandalous effort to whip Mr. MERCER out of

Like many other benefactors of their kind,
Peter Cooper, when he established the Cooper
Union, builded better than he knew. Few men
who have accumulated wealth have used it more
wisely or more helpfully. Mr.. Cooper has been
dead only eight years, but already an enlarge
ment of the big building erected by him is neces-
sary in order TO accommodate the great number of
students seeking to avail themselves of the privi-
leges which the Cooper Union affords. Despite
its founders liberaity, and although his family
have contributed literally to it since his death,
the institution is now in need of further funds
