Icebergs and their Journey from the
North

1t does not seem likely that more than
one or two hundred large icebergs make
their way each year in the only practica-
BILE path that can take them beyond the
Arctic Circle-that which is afforded by
the current which sets out of Davis
Strait, and down the Labrador shore, and
then eastward into the Atlantic. AL
though we have as yet but little decided
information concerning this ocean-stream,
save that afforded by the movements of
the berg and foe, we can readily see how
it effects the journey of these wandering
fragments from the vast Greenland glac-
iers. Though somewhat inconstant, this
current is a tolerably steady stream,
setting south through the wide channel
which separates the shores of Greenland
from those of the many islands which
beset the northeast coast of the Ameri-
can continent. BY this southwark
ing water ice is propelled out into the
open sea. The stream continues to the
south, but widens and diminishes in the
energy of its flow. 1t shortly comes in
contact with the Gulf Stream, which it
sometimes affects, and by which it is
much affected. A part of southwark
setting current passes down along the
shore of Labrador as a superficial stream
of no great width or speed, Another
and perhaps the larger, flows beneath the
Gulf Stream, and in time joins the great,

its fiction. A timely article on Fox
hunting in the Genesee Valley, by Ed

most attractive features. Laurence Hut

papers descriptive of his unique and ex-
tensive Collection Of Death-Masks, which
is fully illustrated from photographs.
Theodore Child concludes his very valua-
BILE series of articles on Literary Paris
with notices and portraits of many of the
famous living French writers. A charac-

This is the comment of Mr.. Henry
Watterson, author of the tariff plank of
the Democratic national platform, on the
attempts of Eastern Democratic news
papers and leaders to make it appear that
that plank is not declaration in favor of

Watterson knows probably as well, if not
better, than anybody else what the tariff
deliverance of the Democratic platform
means and was intended to mean. And
in effect he says in the extract from his
journal that it was intended to hurt
somebody and something" Who is
the somebody and what is the
something? Perhaps the resolution
which was rejected will throw light
on that point. That resolution declared
that in making reductions in the reve-
nue. it was not proposed to injure domes-
tic industries" This was voted down
and for it was substituted the resolution
which MI. Watterson declares was in

jure somebody and something" Evi-
IDENTITY the something that is to be
injured is our domestic industries. The
resolution that was rejected declared that
swhen customs taxation is levied upon
articles of any kind produced in this
country, the difference between the cost
of labor here and labor abroad fully
measures any possible benefits to labor"
This was tantamount to a declaration
that benefits might accrue to the labor
ing man from protection, and that the
Democratic party was willing to indulge
in so much protection at least as would
secure those benefits. But under the
lead of Mr.. Watterson the convention re-
pudiated any such intention. Does not

body to be hurt is the man whose wages

When Canada promised to abolish the
rebate granted to Canadian vessels on
the Welland canal at the end of the
season she practically admitted that
she had been discriminating against
our vessels in violation of the treaty Of
Washington, and that our complaint was
just. Having confessed that she ought
to abolish the rebate at once, her fail
ure to do that has caused the President
to exercise the discretion given him by
Congress and impose a retaliatory toll
upon Canadian vessels going through
the St. Mary's canal. The Presidents
course is eminently just and proper, and
will be approved by all American citi-
zens. The allegation of some of the
Canadian papers that the Presidents
proclamation is an indication of I'M
friendliness on the part of the United
States is untrue. 1t is merely, a re-
Spouse, and the only response that a
self-respecting nation could make, to the
injustice of a neighboring people, after
every means of an amicable arrangement
had been exhausted.
