The combination OF luck and adroitness
by which the hopes Of President CARNoT's
rivals and enemies were dashed. continued
operative up to the very eve OF the election.
Had the massacre OF upward Of hundred
Italian workingmen. which occurred at
Agues-Mortes on Thursday. taken place
but week earlier. the reprisals against
Frenchmen In Italy and the resultant diplo-
matte recriminations would have placed
the DUPUY Ministry In predicament
which could hardly have failed to in1ure the
prospects OF their party friends at the bal
lot box. Had they promptly signifed a
willingness to offer apologies and an in
demnity for the wrong done to natives
OF Italy, they would have been &C.
cused OF pusillanimity: while, had they
refused reparation. they would have been
charged with exposing for selfish ends
their country to the risk Of war with the
Triple Alliance. AS it was. only two days
interviewed between the massacre ut Aigues-
Mortes and the election, and the Govern
ment took care to defer the revelation OF
the facts by circulating reports which mis-
stated the cause, of the riot and mnimized
the number Of the murders. Now that
President CARNoT and his advisers are GER
tain OF commanding a majority in the new

unfortunate affair in the proper spirit. and
make adequate amends to Italy for the
wholesale slaughter Of her citizens.

The Washington Post wants us to explain
why during the last Presidential campaign
THE Sun so persistently declared that the
tariff was not an issue" We can't do II. be-
cause THE suN never declared any such thing.
We maintained throughout the canvass that
the most important issue OF all was the force
bill: that the tariff was OF small Importance
in comparison. and that In order to defeat
the force bill We would admit any doctrine re-
specting the tariff that might be found In the
platform. BY that pledge we hold ourselves to
be In honor bound and now that the tariff has
become the most important OF American ques-
tions We propose to stand by the platform on
that subject without any variation or any
shadow OF compromise.

Dunrayen Forever!

According to the Figaro. the reason why
Lord DUNRAvEN refused to sail the VAL
kyrie In any more races in England this
summer, was because Of the ungentle-
manly and consequently unsportsmanlike
conduct" Of the Emperor OF Germany
SILVER our timbersl Can 1t be possible
that the imperial skipper Of the Meteor
isn't a gentleman But in order that our
own heightened salts may test the affair
on and off the wind. We reproduce the evil
dence as presented by the Figaro and par
TALLY corroborated by our cable dispatches.
In the race for the Queens Cup the Val
kyrie was ahead and the Meteor hopelessly
behind: but In turning one Of the buoys
she held it on the port hand instead of
the starboard hand. By this movement she
lost more time than she gained. and under
the circumstances 1t certainly made no
difference to the Meteor. But two hours
after the victory OF the Valkyrie. Emperor
WILLIAM sent in q protest. and the COM
mittee sustained him and gave him the cup.
Then DUNRAvEN got dreadfully angry.
and. according to the Figure. swore that
Emperor WILLIAM II. was no gentle
man: and several Of the Oldest members
Of the Royal Yacht Club expressed the
same opinion. In addition to this. they
blamed the committee for the decision
which was rendered. claiming that the rae
ing rules Of the Royal Yacht Club called
simply for turning" the buoy, without
specifying the hand upon which it should
be kept. In this we suspect the Figaro is
mistaken. But at all events. the imperial
protest on technical grounds tended to give
the affair something OF the appearance or
nature Of donkey race: the last boat won.
Whether Lord DUNRAvEN's anger went so far
as to induce him to refuse to sail In any
race in which the Kaiser's Meteor was a
competitor is yet to be proved. However.
DUNRAyEN Is a manly fellow. and it may be
that. when 1t comes to racing. he treats
Emperors just as he treats other mortals.
When he comes here. no American SOW
ereign will take any more advantage OF
him on technical grounds than he is abso-
lutely forced to take in order to preserve
the proper discipline Of sport. Lord Dun
RAVEN has a splendid yacht. and no doubt
we shall have splendid race with him.

Some OF the Aldermen Develop an Objection
to thnt Kind OF Pavement.
Several members Of the Board Of Aldermen
have developed an unaccountable opposition
to asphalt pavement. and members Of the
Board who have become aware OF this an
tipathy have withdrawn resolutions calling for
asphalt and had them amended to provide for
granite block pavement instead. Alderman
Owens Of the Twenty-seventh district failed to
do this with ono Of his general orders calling
for asphalt pavement In 18th street. east Of
Lenox avenue and when he tried to secure its
passage Mt the meeting OF the Board yester-
day he was. surprised at its defeat. Aldermen
Baumert. keahon. Mcclure. O'Bfen. and Rim
voted in the negative, and as there were not
twenty:four affirmative votes tho resolution
was defeated
Alderman Owens urged that the gentlemen
change their vote as an asphalt pavement is
about to erect an engine house in the street.
His appeal was without avail. and Alderman
U'Brien declared that There's plenty Of pave
ment as good as asphalt"

Canadian Eggs.

Our esteemed contemporary. the Union
and Advertiser. In the course Of some excel
lent remarks on the tariff question. makes
q special attack upon the duty which the
MCKINLEY tariff levies upon eggs
coming from Canada. That duty, 1t
appears, Is five cents dozen: and
our contemporary says that in effect
it Is prohibtory. Yet let us observe that
some duty upon Canadian eggs is inevita-
BILE. To admit them free of duty would be
to tax the people who do not use Canadian
eggs. for the benefit of the few who have oc-
casion to use them. Besides, five cents a
dozen Is not SO serious an impost. At
Toronto. according to our contempt
rary, eggs are worth II to 12% cents a
dozen. A just and equal revenue tariff
bearing upon all articles alike, and without
favoritism toward any class Of citizens.
would require duty upon Canadian eggs
of from rs to 80 per cent.-that Is to say. or
4 cents a dozen; and thus tho utmost reduc-
tlon that ought to be made would be to
charge say four cents duty instead OF five.
There Is another point Of view which ought
not to be neglected. If Canadian eggs and
other farm products are to como In free Of
duty. then the Canadians will enjoy all
the commercial advantages of being In
the Union. without any Of the responsible
ties. This would not DO right. We should
be delighted to communicate the benefits
Of the Union to Canada. but this should be
done only upon the conditions upon which
we ourselves enjoy them. Let Canada
come into the United States. and we will
share with her all the glories and all the
privileges OF those envlable conditions.

THEY WANT BETTER TARIFF RITES.
Delegates from the Bermuda Assembly Talk
with Secretary Cnrlisle.


WASHINGTON. Aug. 22.-Samuel A. Masters
and Thomas J. Watson, delegates OF the
House OF Assembly OF Bermuda. are in WASH
ton making an effort to have the duty on gar
den truck imported from Bermuda lowered.
The delegates had an interview with Score
tary Carlisle this morning. They reported
that the statistics OF the trade OF Bermuda
show that the Imports from the United States
for the year 1892 exceeded the sum total ofthe
imports from all other countries by more than
fifty per cent. and that Notwithstanding
ninety four per cent. Of the exports was
shipped to the United States the value OF tho
Imports from the United States exceeded the
value Of the exports to that country by nearly
half a million dollars.
The duty paid for the same period on the
products Of Bermuda under the Mckinley tariff
amounted to sum equal to $40 per head OF
ceeded the sum derived BY Bermuda from its
entire tariff BY moro than SIS. 900.
In view Of these facts. and in consideration
also Of the fact that the products OF Bermuda.

tween April and June 10. 9 period OF the year

The Ex.Sherif's vvifo Says It Is Worthless

Lawyer Charles Benner was arrested yester-

an action brought by Abbie E O'Brien. wife OF
ex-sheriff James O'Brien. to recover 49, 500

She purchased from Benner last November

War and Religion.

The other day a woman speaker at the
Peace Congress at Chicago took the ground
that the newly established religious asso-
Citations OF young people are frequently and
dangerously stimulating the taste and
passion for war by being organized on a
military system. and by using battle cries
to arouse youthful enthusiasm.
If there is anything In what she said. 1t
applies to the whole history of Christianity
and not to those organizations specifically.
The use OF military metaphors prevails in
the Bible and in the religious discourses and
exhortations Of all periods OF Christianity.
The Christian is described as q soldier and
the body OF Christians as the army of the
Lord. GOD Is pictured as the GOD OF bat
ties. The spiritual contest Is likened to
material warfare. Satan Is to be overcome
in great and final fight. The Bible in
both the Old and the New Testaments Is
crowded with military images.
Hence in adopting such terms and utiliz-
Ing the military organization. these ASSOC
Citations Of which the good woman at Chi
cago spoke are simply following course
to which they are directed by the highest
religious precept and example, Thus,
too. they appeal to the instinct for fight
ing which Is in the human race and
has tended to the preservation OF its vigor.
The Salvation Army. with its mill
tary organization and discipline. is the
type OF these associations. and its
successful progress indicates that it
touches a prevailing human sentiment.
1t goes forth with drums and the insignia
OF war to fight under the Captain OF our
Salvation for tho subiugatlon Of the devil.

That was enough TO settle the opinion Of

cents. the silver dollar being worth over
forty cents less than the gold dollar. The
