The MekinI.r I'm IInrt. England

From he New YORK Mail and Express
The remarkable admission is made by
the London Globe that THE Mckinley tar
i'll bill appears to be working more harm
to British commerce than was anticipated. -
and that there is no longer any question
that the trade of the country has lost its
buoyancy.' II says that England can only
retain its foreign trade 10y cheapness OF
production. while the tendency of English
labor movements is to increase the cost Of
production. But the only way to cheaper
production is by lowering wages. Ameri-
can workmen favor the protective policy
because it tends to the maintenance Of fair
wages. and the American people favor the
policy because the more rapidly our manu-
features increase, and the greater the
amount spent for material and wages the
more prosperous we shall be. The tariff is
indeed a tax. but it is a tax on our com
petitors rather than upon ourselves.

President Harrison. Appointments,



Looking back upon President Harrison :
appointments a a whole, the candid critic
will find much to commend. He has not
in every case escaped mistake, and when it
is considered that lac was obliged 20 choose
many thousand men without any personal
knowledge Of them and solely upon the
recommendation Of others. it must be adj
mittel that wholly faultless selections in
all cases We're not to be expected. But it
appears to be the judgment of the people
that the Presidents selections have been
unusually and remarkably good, and that
they have resulted in a public service as
faithful, a efficient and as honorable as
the country has seen under any previous
administration. Indeed. in some depart
ments the service is cOn,picuously better
managed and better conducted than il ever
has been before, as even the most preju-
diced opponents of the President are ready
to admit

The Pronunciation Was Deserved.

From the New York Mail and Express
In an article intended to be very fierce,
the New York times recently attacked the
manner in which Wisconsin legislative dis
trcts have been gerrymandered by ''the
Republican legislature at the last session. -
The denmciaton of the gerrymander is
not misplaced. 1t was most outrageous.
1t was done, however, by legislature that
contained % Democrats and Is Republic
cans, and was designed solely for the ben
eft of the Democratic party. That party
has done the same thing recently in Michi-
gan, Indiana, Ohio, and New Jersey, and
is anxious to do it in New York.

In the general record OF Improvements
in 1891. which occupies SO large a space in
the present issue Of The Phoenix, mention
should be made of what has been done at
Vermont academy. The farm was greatly
improved during the year by the addition
Of a unique set OF farm buildings. which
are built on four sides of a hollow square.
the enclosure constituting the barn yard.
The establishment OF this farm furnishes a
very important adjunct to the work of the
Academy, and is a matter to which Col. J..
X. Fuller, the president Of the board Of
trustees. has given much thought and per
sonal oversight. The foundation and I'M
derpinning of the new library building
have been completed ready for the super
structure. The lumber for the building has
just arrived on the premises. and is ready
for use a. early as the opening season will
permit. Progress has been made in the
improvement OF the Academy grounds, and
the year was in all respects the most pros
porous one in the history Of this successful
institution

The Prussian conservatives are engaged
in n thoroughly congeninl occupation.
They are debating ways and means of
decreasing the influence Of Jews in public
life and especially within the fold OF
conservatism. The Jews will probably
avoid conservatism of their own accord
after this illiberal proceeding. Nothing
it seems can equal their presumption.
They actually get themselves better
educated than their neighbors, md so
win their way to prefcssorial chairs and
to the seat of Justice itself
1t seems rather illogical to give them
the education and then deny them the
advantages which it is intended 10 secure.
Holy ltussiu is more consistent and
keeps them ignorant by limiting their
right of admission to the higher schools.
This discovery of the close connection
between ignorance and virtue is worthy
OF Russin. But Germany is too much
bound by her glorious labors for know
ledge and wisdom 10 adopt it on her own
account.
