, INSPIRED FOR REVENGE.

Russians Are In the Proper Condition for
the Commencement of War.
San Francisco Chroncle.1
The acts of brigandage in Russia bear q
remarkable resemblance to those which ac-
companied the breaking out of the French
revolution. They seem to be more inspired
by desire for revenge than to secure plum
der. 1t is hardly conceivable that men SIM
ply bent on robbery would have murdered
% occupants of two houses as was the case
in Elizabethpol. "he opportunities to pro-
cure information from Russia are so limited
that the outside world rarely obtains an ac-
curate knowledge of what is going on with
in the boundaries of this vast empire, but
enough has leaked out to create the impress
sion that affairs are bordering Oh anarchy.
In any other country such condition
would surely breed revolution and result
in the overthrow of the existing Govern
ment, but the extraordinary ignorance of
the Russian masses seems to preclude all
ideas of such an attempt. Indeed the
wretchedness of the people may be seized
upon by those who control the destinies of
Russia to strengthen despotism, for in times
of great scarcity an appeal to take up arms
is met with more enthusiasm than when
peace and plenty prevails. If the war party
is ready now is its time to strike, for all
classes of Russians must feel that there can
be no greater evils in store than those which
the masses are now suffering from.

CANALS AND LOW RATEC

The competition between canals and
railroads in New York State has had a
remarkable result; for the first time the
canal rate for grain from Buffalo to Chi
cago exceeded the rail rate, and more
grain was transported by rail than by
water. The rate by railroad was three and
seyen-eighth cents per buShel, and by the
canal four and One-quarter cents per
buShel. The result was that the railroads
moved from Buffalo 5000, 600 bushels of
grain, while the canal moved 1900, OOO
The railroads presumably find the bust
ness profitable, although the margin must
be small Would there he anything like
spch low rates if the competition between
rail and water had not forced them?
In New York State the enlargement of
the canals, the introduction of steam
canal Ioats, and other Improvements are
contemplated, and with their introduction
the waterways will doubtless once more
cut the rates. The advantage of such
facilities as New York enjoys in the way
of canals might be Pittsburg's if the Ohio
and Erie Ship Canal were pushed with
vigOr

THE OPPOSING THEoLoGIANs.

The pronounced attitude of Prof Vim
cent. of Union Seminary, in support of
DR.. Briggs permits no doubt of the widen
ing Of the breach between the two schools
of theologians in the Presbyterian Church
Prof. Vincent, indeed, is even more eX-
plicit than Dr.. Briggs in rejecting some of
the interpretations put upon the Bible by
the authors of the Westminster Confess
sion of Faith. and in claiming the right of
Independent Judgment upon the meaning
of the Scriptures. He affirms, of course,
the devotion of himself and of other SYM
pathizerS with Dr. Briggs TO the Scrip
lures; and goes the length of claiming that
this devotion is best proved by their pro-
test against accepting as conclusive the
dictum Of theologians who lived several
centuries ago.
The division upon the Briggs heresy case
has been no accidental one: nor is it based
on personal motives. When Dr. Briggs
views were under discussion at New York
last spring it was manifest that not few
of the clergy sided with him. DR.. Park
hurst, the well-knOwn incumbent of Madi-
son Square pulpit. in his defense of the
Union Seminary professor, far exceeded in
his criticisms of the old school of theolo-
gians anything which DR.. Briggs had
written or said.
The action of the General Assembly in
condemning Dr. Briggs will doubtless be
followed this fall by suspension of his
relations to the church Meanwhile Union
Seminary indicates that it is disposed to
array itself with the alleged hereticf and
the rivalry between Princeton, the seat of
the orthodox and triumphant party, and
Union, is so strong as to give little hope of
a compromise. The result of the division
cannot hurt the cause of Christianity so
long as each party is honest and sincere in
his views. Even if two sects should be
formed, where hitherto there has been but
one, the event can only result in COM
petltive effort as to which can do the most
to spread the religion of the Founder of
the church according as it is understood
by each. But the dream of the period
when all Christian worshippers might
unite in single body, with the same
tenctS seems distinctly farther off through
such DIVISIONS. Upon essentials there is
unity: upon what seem like nOn-essentials
there is wide diversity of view

MEXICAN TROUBLES.
They Will Be of short Duration and Diaz
VIII Remain President.

They Will Be of short Duration and DiaZ
VIII Remain President.
Chicago Herald.
"All talk of any successful revolution in
Old Mexico is not to be credited for mo-
ment. The present attempt of Catrino Cara
and General Ruiz Sandoval to organize a
revolution strong enough to overthrow Diaz
and establish new order of things will not
amount to anything more than a border
skirmish on the frontier similar to dozens of
incipient revolutions which have been
nipped in the bud in the last Is years. Cara
and Sandoval will be surely captured and
shot, and that will put an end to their re-
bellious proceedings at once" said Thomas
Hardcastle, of the City of Mexico.
"This attempted revolution of Cara and
Sandoval," said Mr.. Hardcastle, "willbe only
child's play for the Diaz Government to put
down. President Diaz has the most power
full factions of the people, the army and the
navy and all the machinery of Government
thoroughly and securely under his control,
and he will soon squelch that little rebellion.
1t is nonsense to say that DiaZ is afraid of
the strength of the revolutionists. Circum-
stances are different now from Is years ago.
Before any railroads were built in the
country q revolution in the border States
could gain a strong headway before the Gov
ernment could transport its troops to the
spot and suppress the rebels. But now that
railroads traverse the country in all the
principal States it is only q matter of a few
hours until the Government can mass
enough troops at any point to suppress a
revolution. The present trouble there will
be of short duration.

PRAISE FOR THE TARIFF.
1t Is Forcing Scotch People to Come to the
United States.

SHlteu StdtcSs
San Francisco Chroncle.l
The Mckinley bill could have no better
testimonial than was given it yesterday by
Alexander Garvie, of Leith, Scotland. who is
at a downtown hotel. Mr.. Garvie, who is a
member ofa firm of Wholesale tea merchants
in Scotland, is en- route to Honolulu.
'The exporting business in the part of
Scotland that live in has been very seriously
injured by this new American tariff If
seems to me this measure is q yery unwise
one for the United States, for it will force
the people here to go without the best En-
glish and Scotch goods and put nm with
goods made in America. On the steamer I
was on crossing the Atlantic was the owner
of the largest tannery in Glasgow, perhaps
in Great Britain. He was coming to America
to establish branch factory to tan the
leather required for his export trade to this
country. The worst part of it was that he
found he would be forced to employ Ameri-
can workmen. because some contract labor
law they have here would not permit him to
bring his own experienced men from Scot
land. He said there was no way for him to
get around building the factory in America
for he could not possibly pay the OUTRAGEOUS
tariff and sell his goods here in Competition
with goods made in the United States. MANY
other manufacturers have determined to
build branch factories here for tine some
reason. To my knowledge there are several
in Glasgow and more i'll other towns and
besides, of course, there are great many I
do not know anything about. One other
man on the steamer was lace manufactnrer
at Nottingham. His name was Camnbell
He was coming here to begin manufactnr
ing the kinds of laces that the tariff nre
vented his shipping into the country from
England. In my line, of course, the tarirT
makes no difference. We do not ship tea
here"

few water-colors by Mr.. Walter Satterlee, of
New York, which visitors to their gallery
will enjoy for short season. They are
strong works done in Mr.. Satterlee's charac-

Two life-like deer's heads, together with
some beautiful renderings of the pink skin
of the mountain trout, represent the result
of a recent visit to the Adirondacks "The
Head of an English Skipper" and "a Bit of

England. Few, if any, painters have sue
ceeded in painting the celebrated beauties
of Arle, village in the South of France,
where the ancient blood of Greece and
Rome mingles with mod m French. But

to pose tor him anda charming picture, "a
Woman of Arle," is the result. Young

before. What so likely, then, as that he
should demand change in the free trade
system, which plainly has not availed to
keep wages up to living point? Such a
change is what many British statesmen
are expecting, and evidently trying to
anticipate.
The interest Americans have in the
outcome lies in the likelihood of the i'm
position of tax upon food prod
ucts, and raw materials, such as cotton,
which we export to England, and which
large party of English economists think
could be obtained with greater reciprocal
advantage from British colonies, which
would in return admit British manufac-
lures free.

BRAVE FISHERMEN ALARMED.
The Sea Serpent and a Huge Shark OFF
Flemish Cape.

Flemish Cape.
GLOUCESTER, MASS, Sept 25.-Fishermen re-
turning from the far-off Flemish Cape Fish
ing Bank to-day tell of q mammoth sea SER
pent and strange marine monster seen on the
banks this season. A sea serpent over 80 feet
in length, resembling giant squid, was seen
one morning while the crew were engaged
IN hauling their travis. 1t was also seen by
the men aboard the vessels. 1t made q noise
similar to the rumbling of train of cars,
and plowed the water before it like an ocean
steamer. Two enormous horns projected
from its head, and it is described as OF an
uncanny appearance. The monster was
seen but once, and was evidently bound
north.
The schooner J. II. Carey and other
schooners report that huge shovelnose
shark, estimated to be over 40 feet in length,
perpetually haunted the dories of the fisher
men while hauling their travis This cir
cumstance gave the fishermen much uneasi-
ness, because their frail dories were con-
stantly in danger of being capsized, and an
accident of this kind meant death. The
shark appeared on the Flemish Cape during
July and remained until the departure of
the fleet.
The fishermen state that they have never
observed so large number of huge fish of
prey on the Flemish Cape before. and at
tribute this to the fact that these fish have
followed the gulf stream further northward
than usual this season.

COOPERATIVE WORKSHOPS.
They Have Taught Workmen q Lesson
Not Otherwise to Be Had.


Not Otherwise to Be Had.
Toronto Mail.]
The cooperative workshops in Great
Britain-in connection with the great CO.
operative societies-have now increased in
number from SO in 1888 to Ill. The member
ship is 26, ,925 and the aggregate capital f766-
OG0. The sales have risen to f2, 2,6O6, 900 per
annum, and the net profits to 6 81, 1853. This
shows profit OF II per cent on the capital
and per cent on the turnover. As was
stated in these columns a few days ago, the
net profit on the sales OF the cooperative
stores was 81 per cent. The rate of profit
in the workshops is, therefore, considerably
less than in the stores. If instead of CO
operative societies thera had been Ill en-
ployers the average profit would have been
Ell. 1875 each, being a return of IL per cont on
the capital employed.
After allowing, as is customary in England,
5 per cent interest on the capital, this would
give II per cent for labor business anxiety.
and responsibility. The moderate profit of
5 per cent on the turnover of the cooper
&tiye workshops Is instructive to the work
ing classes, who, misled by professional
get large profits, and their work people but
a small proportion of the gross profits. AS
it appears by the official report that there
are about 10000 people employed in these
various workshops, it is plain that If their
wages had been increased by only 81 25
each per week there would have been no
profit whatever. If the average weekly
wage was S., then for every SIS received by
the work-people the employer got only 81 Is.
