TILE CONTRAST At PdRIS.

Sir Charles Russell shares Shylock's views
of law and morality. His position before the
Behring Sea Court Of Arbitration is essentially
this That international law is for all prac-
teal purposes code; that ethics and equity
have nothing at all to do with il that it is
precisely what may be cited and defined from
the admissions and practice OF nations and
that it is incapable of growth except as all
civilization may agree. No matter how sound
in sense or just in morality proposition may
be, if it is net down in the textbooks, line
for line and word for word, and if there are
not exact presidents in the practice of nations
to sustain it, according to Sir Charles Russell,
speaking for the Government of that nation
which yields to none in its high claims of good
purpose and fair dealing, it is not the law.
1t may be in conformity with the conscience
of mankind, it may express all that is sanest
in human judgment, but if it is not written in
the books and justified by exact precedent it
is not the law. Mr.. Carter's elevated and
ennobling sentiments Sir Charles laughs at.
Very pretty, he says; very fine and extremely
worth while, but they do not appear in the
correspondence of Cabinets, they are not con-
frmed by practice, they are not the law. Eng

TO demonstrate so marked a superiority as she has
long exhibited I'm the domain Of Wagner's lyric
dramas. 1t was. nevertheless most gratifying last
night to note how honestly she strOve to do Justice

It is evident that the question of opening
the Worlds Fair on Sundays is speedily to be
brought before the courts, Attorney General
Olney having given instructions to the Federal
attorney for the district embracing Chicago to
apply for an injunction or other legal process
TO prevent the violation of the laws OF the
United states, in case an attempt at Sunday
opening is made The importance OF obtaining
an early decision on this question is seli-evl-
dent. The question is whether Congress has
the right to do in a roundabout way what 1t
has no power to do directly. This, however
is a matter apart from the moral right OF the
Fair management to accept an Appropriation
On a certain condition, and then disregard the
condition while holding fast to the money.
