SATISFACTORY THOUGH TARDY.

Those gorgeous FLOATS" which were to
illustrate the procession of centuries" at
the inaugural ceremonies at Chicago
have been suppressed Satisfaction over
this sensible act is only partial, however,
because the ''float'' idea should never
have been entertained to the extent of in
vesting Exposition money, hard-earned
by the workers at Washington, in it; but
it is pleasant to perceive that some one in
Chicago has a correct idea Of the proper
scope of the enterprise, and is able to
quash the project Of going into lllustra-
tons of the rudimentary grotesque and
medieval style known to the admirers of
Mardi Gras tomfoolery as 't1oats."
The float business should have been
stopped before it cost the enterprise S7O,-
600; but even that loss is better than start
ing it on the level of circus parade or
Yelled Prophets show.

CLIMAX OF FREE TRADE LOGIC.

There is nothing like carrying your doc
trine to its legitimate conclusion. For
that reason we are disposed to rejoice over
the energy of our ultra free trade cotem-
porary the Chicago Herald, which discov-
ers that the Mckinley bill is responsible
for the cholera. The logic of the Herald
is to the effect that as the Mckinley bill
shuts out the products of foreign working
men from the United States they must
flock to this country, bringing the cholera
with them. The fact that they have not
brought the cholera in yet and are now
practically excluded makes no difference
to the energetic Herald What it means
is that if the cholera had been brought in
the Mckinley bill would have been to
blame for II.
This is not much worse reasoning than
good many other efforts Of free trade
logic. 1t involuntariiy disc!oses the un-
derlying conviction of our free trade CO.
temporary that protection has made wages
good in this country. If wages were not
good by comparison with Europe these
immigrants would not come, and if pro-
lection were not the cause of good wages
it would not be responsible for their COM
ing. The Herald is careful not to admit
that it is the prosperity of labor under
protection that brings immigration here;
but that fact rests at the bottom of its
entire argument
A little inconsistency like that, how
ever, is no obstacle for wild Western free
trade organ in search of theory OF which
to howl against Mckinley.

A PROPER ORDER,

The order of the Philadelphia Board of
Health that John A Clark, the local poll
tician who was permitted to leave de-
tained steamer by favoritism, shall be re-
turned is referred to by the dispatches as
peculiar. The peculiarly is alleged to
nconsist in the fact that the steamer has
been passed as safe since the favored pas
senger was taken Off
Only those who have very slovenly
idea Of the importance of impartially en-
forcing the law can see any peculiarly in
this action. The safety of the whole coun-
try depends on maintaining the legal safe
guards without fear or favor The per-
son in question made use of political influ-
ence to secure the breaking down of the
law in a way which robs it of all value.
The fact that the steamer was not in
fected does not at all mitigate his otfense
in using illicit means to avoid waiting till
the assurance of safety was established.
Ii is necessary to assert the efficiency of
quarantine by Furnishing those who vio-
late it, If Mr.. Clark, of Philadelphia,
does not return in accordance with the
orders of the board the least that can be
J done is to post him as an offender against
the public safety.

MR.. BLAINE GIVES TIMELY ADVICE.


Nobody will feel surprised at the ex-
preston of views by Mr. Blaine that the
President has the power to stop immigra-
ton in the face of the dangerous menace
of the cholera, and that it is his duty to do
so. Mr. Blaine justly says that there is no
possible loss from the temporary suspen-
sion of commercial relations with other
countries that is at all comparable to the
safety of human life. He thinks the situ-
alton grave enough to break silence; and
he voices with his usual perspicacity the
common sense of the country.
In the face even of any perverseness,
stupidity or consideration of political
phases of the question at Washington, the
public will always hope for the best. But
the iteration and reiteration from all
quarters of the opinion in favor of shut
ting down upon immigration must weigh
heavily upon the conscience of the ad-
ministration hereafter if the luck of es-
cape upon which it is banking eventually
fail and disaster follow.
The warning of Mr. Blaine reinforces
the general public opinion. 1t would be
well for President Harrison to hearken to
it, as the judgment of a statesman whose
opinions may be said to have the habit of
going direct to the heart of difficult situa-
tions, and of being almost invariably right.
Mr.. Blaine is a better adviser for the
President in this matter than either of the
Secretaries Foster.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6-The Bureau of
the American Republic has been officially

No higher duties or charges of any kind
are to be levied on German articles of COM

favors not extended to Germany except by
special agreement: but when such an agree

THE LIBERAL PROGRAMME.

The programme to be adopted by the
Liberal Cabinet has been the subject of
much discussion in England. No official
light is thrown on it further than Mr..
Gladstone's declaration that home rule
must come first and the unoffi clal report
that the bill is already framed as regards
its main features. But rather strong
indication of the course that will be taken
can be drawn from the utterances of Mr..
Labouchere on one hand and Mr.. Nc
Carthy on the other.
Neither of these gentlemen is authority
as to what the Liberal Cabinet will do;
but their relation is such that their diver
gent views may be taken to comprise the
possibilities of the Liberal programme
Mr.. Labouchere strongly urges that En-
glish reforms shall take precedence
of the Irish, supporting his position
with the assertion that this is the
way to secure the latter The pc
cuIiar position of Labouchere to the
Gladstone Cabinet, however, permits a
suspicion that, like famous editor of this
country, he is outlining policies for his
party with view to making trouble.
Mr. Mccarthy on the other hand, while
agreeing with Mr.. Gladstone that home
rule as the leading issue of English poll
tics must come first, represents sensible
position on the part of the Nationalists
by suggesting that the English reforms as
to lone man one vote' and the new sys-
TEN of registration can follow before an
other general election. He does not re-
gard it as imperative that Gladstone shall
dissolve Parliament when the Lords re-
ject the home rule bill. He proposes that
the Commons shall pass the English meas
ures and thus put the Peers in the d.
lemma of rejecting two very popular re-
forms or accepting them with the GER
tainty of Strengthening the Liberal party.
This being done, 1t is not considered by
Mccarthy necessary to hold another cleo
ton at once. The home rule bill
can be introduced at second ses-
Sion, with the prospect Of a decided
Liberal victory staring the Peers in
the face. If they should still
prove fractions, Mccarthy points out, as
THE DISPATCH has done heretofore, that
Gladstone has within his power lever
which has been before used in English
politics with unfailing success That is
the creation of new Peers enough to en-
sure that the House of Lords shall do as
the Ministry directs. Mr.. Mccarthy
thinks that the mere threat of such step
would bring the Lords to terms.
With this course outlined by the Nation
alist leader, and Mr. Gladstone's assur-
ance that home rule is to be the leading
measure, the Liberal programme is toIer-
ably clear. The real struggle is to be
when the House of Lords opposes itself TO
the Ministry. 1t will be matter Of world.

and Philadelphia have not yet arrived
here, but have been seen off Cape Race.
They generally make two trips every year
and sometimes three. They have been ice
bound on the southwest coast of Greenland
since June l. but have not been able to clear
the field drift, which lines the coast as lar
as the eye can reach from the highest
mountain peak. The steamer Fox managed
to clear the ice and report the vessels loaded
on her arrival at Copenhagen.
1vigut the crvolite traders loading point
is 500 miles south of Peary's ice-bound home
Ii the Kite should reach this high point,
which is considered doubtful, the return
trip would be even more hazardous. An
open winter in the far North has sent down
such a mass of bergs and field ice as to not
only endsnyer every vessel running there,
but threaten the fast liners, having drifted
into the routes used by the regular liners
many miles further south.

He Would Favor . Complete Suspension
of Au Traffic With Other Countries.
BANGOR, Me, Sept. 5.-Mr. Blaine has re.
what the clear duty of the Government in the
matter Of the cnolera danger, and what the
President and Congress should at once un-
dertake. An attempt was made last night
to secure a complete interview with him on
the subject, but it partially failed, owing to
the arrival from New York, at the Bar Har-
Dor residence of Walter Damrosch, the SON
in-law of Mr.. Blaine.
Mr. Blaine said that at the time of the
seizure of the fishing schooner Adams, just
after Harrison became President, his
foreign policy in all things was thought TO
be a strong one, and that he ought not to
express himself before the President ha a
chance to act. But this time, he says, the
duty is clear and the path plain. In sub
stance 1t is to close traffic between the, old
country Canada and the United States to
everybody and everything, save the mails
and citizens of this cou ntry now abroad,
and to admit these only after perfect pre-
caution.

cannot be commercial relations which for a
moment are to be considered in comparison
to safety to life. He has always held this
country to be dependent on no other, save
for some of the luxuries of life, and he thinks
that while we may lose and may cause loss
in some quarters, such matters can be easily
adjusted. He wants everything now on the
water on the way from the Old World kept
from the land and discontfnuance of all
foreign railroad traffic across the States.
Then he would have the border policed to
perfection, rigid examination in all cities
and towns of fruit, and he believes President
Harrison has the power to so order by proc
lamation, AND that there are no treaty rights
to prevent it.
MIR. Damrosch somewhat startled Mr..
Blaine by telling HIM that he rode Saturday
night from New York to Boston with two
persons who had then just left one of the
ships on board Of which deaths had occurred
by cholerine, and it will be some days before
Mr.. Blaine becomes entirely serene in mind.
