Il. Mitchell, an English manufacturer,
fresh from asthree months' visit TO our
country, addressed the Textile Society,
OF Bradford, England. He was here in
the interests OF trade. Hence, what ne

%po.tance," he saya, "of America as a
trade outlet was very obvious. 1t had
100000 people who spent more money
on dress than any other people on the

the wonderful development which had
taken place there, the possibilities, he

BY the foregoing testimony the
people OF the United States are enabled

reached in the United States as com.

greatest competitors are teaching con.

Referring TO the foregoing, the Ian.
guags OF a man who is not in any way
under the influence OF the Republican
party OF the United States, one who is
neither Republican, Democrat or Popu-
list, ought 10 be considered competent
testimony Us TO the effect OF q System OF
restraints used by n nation OF people
against the entertainments OF the peo-
pie OF another nation. This testimony
ia the more valuable because Mr.. Foster
speaks for the people OF Canada. de
challenges contradiction OF recorded re-
sults; declaring that jus. as capital in
yests itself and industrial establish
menss multiply, internal competition
takes the place OF external competition,
owing to equal conditions OF production
\ transportation.
This testimony is also valuable be-
cause it is the voluntary affirmation OF
one OF our great rivals. Surely no
Democrat will deny the words Of an
Englishman, for the party who are now
trying 70 destroy the great industries OF
the United States are only carrying on.

But other British testimony is avail
able as corroberatiye evidence OF the
great error into which party leaders
have fallen. Alr. ]. Stephen Jeans, y
British free trader, writes in December.
1882: America has for years enjoyed
an amazing degree OF prosperity, so
much so indeed that to use the elo-
quent words OF Edmund Burke, 'gener-
alities which in all o,herca 8 are apt to

here a tendency to sink il. Fiction lags

OF the matter is that in this country q

An original farce, written by Edward

ENGLAND,s LOVE FOR AMERICA

Admiral Daniel Ammen in a recent maya
zine article congratulates himself and his
country upon England's supremacy on the
sea, and predicts a continuance of this SUI
premacy. There is some truth and a good
deal of humanity in what he says, but our ex-
p~erience teaches us that the best way to
make John Bull s'tote fair" is to be perfectly
Independent of him. Another war between
this country and England is SO nearly impos-
sible as to be practically out Of the range of
argument; but we have every historical rea-
son to suppose that in the event of armed hos
tilities between the United States and almost
any other leading power the ''kinship"
of the British, of which sundry Anglo
maniacs and hopeful humanitarians so love
to speak, would be shown chiefly by the
energy with which Albion would fit out
war vessels for our enemy and carry his
under the Union Jack. The
American Eagle is quite willing to be on
amicable terms with the British Lion. but
does not consider it wise to place too much
confidence in his gentle purring. Public
men who pretend to speak for America
would do well to note this.-Blue and Gsdg

A JAPANESE RECEIPT.

Fish is the chief article of diet of the
Japanese; drled and sailed, it is, with rice,
the only fond of the lower classes; but every
is very food of fish, and there are a thousand
ways of dressing it daintily. Grabs are kill
ed by making them swallow a bumper of
sake, which is probably anything but.pleas-
ant to them, but gives them a very delicate
taste. The spirit called shoya, which is made
of the fermented juices of several different
kinds of grain and which tastes like Liebig's
extract diluted with brandy, seasons large
fishes admirably, bnt generally the Japanese
prefer to eat them raw, and they are not al
together in the wrong. No hors d'anure can
beat that obtained from the following re-
ceipt:-ssTake out the bones of a very fresh
dorado or sole; cut the flesh into very small
-pieces-almost mince it, in fact; cut into thin
Slices a few fresh gherkins; add salt and pep
per to each layer; sprinkle over the whole a
little vinegar n the juice Of q lemon; let
the dish stand for a few hours before serv-
ing.p Try this receipt and you will see.-

SPEED OF THE BARTHs JOURNEY.

The earth does not travel at the same rate
all through its journey. Its orbit being
elliptical, it must at some time approach
nearer to the sun than others, n will take
less time in moving through one part of its
path than through another. In winter the
earth is nearer the sun than in summer II
moves through space more rapidly. On
January /, the earth is about 5000, 900 miles
nearer the sun than on July l, and, as the
velocity of aplanet increases with its nearness
to the sun, the earth passes over one-half of its
orbit in less time than over the other halt.
Between the vernal equinox, which happens
on March 21, and the autumnal equinox,
which falls on September %, the earth is 1856
days in accomplishing that half of her jour
ney round the sun, while the other half oc-
cupies only ITO days. 1t has been said that,
owing to the friction caused by the tides and
other reasons, the earth is moving more
slowly than it used to do, and that the days
are consequently lengtheniug; but as this is
only to the extent of half a second in a cen
fury it will be a long time before there will
be any apparent difference Brooklyn

TO SAVE THE PALISADES.
william Walter Phelps Plan 10
Establish q Private Park.

A movement which, it is said, will result
in establishing a private park on the Pals
AIDES, is now being developed under the
agency of William E. Bond of No. 2 Wal
street, New York, the confidential represen-
tative of Judge William Walter Phelps.
The purpose is to include all the Palisades
front for ten miles north from Coytespille,
through Ridgeield and Englewood Town
ships, to the Palisades Township line, and
reaching back about one mile from the
Hudson, in a great private park, with re-
strictions which shall protect it from the in
PRODUCTION of common nuisances or influences
detrimental to general or individual inter
ests. The plan has been suggested by the
fact that the Palisades Railroad, which will
be built along the mountain top to Engle-
wood this year, is calculated to bring IN
land boomers and auctioneers, who will buy
up tracts of land and sell them off in lots.
This, it is felt by the owners of suburban
homes on the Palisades near Englewood,
would be a highly Objectionable feature, and
they desire to ~fOrestall it. The Palisades
Railroad is now built almost to Fort Lee.
The park scheme originated with the late
George S. Coe and Judge Phelps. The ex-
tensive estate of Judge Phelps has a large
frontage on the Palisades, the scenery OF
which he and his neighbors are DESTROYS OF
preserving in its rugged beauty. To accom-
plish this an agreement is being circulated
for signatures to form an unincorporated
association of mutual benefit, the members
agreeing to work together for the improve
ment Of their lands within the territory
specified, and to pay an annual assessment
OF 81 per acre to maintain and improve the
property.
The consent of every owner o. the long
strip will probably be got, as about one
fourth the number a signed the agree
ment during the brief period it has been in
circulation. The woods, groves, ravines and
bold landscape of the Palisades are to be
preserved, and their natural beauty, SO far
as possible, enhanced by the building of
drives, lodge gates, etc. AS the entire sec
ton is traversed by public roads, the park
NAV become a fayorite driving ground.

COMPANY AS RECEPTION.
Gallant Soldier Boys Crowd Has
brOuck Hall.

The reception of Company A, Fourth Regi-
ment, held last evening at Hasbrouck Hall,
was the swell military event of the season.
In fact, it was the most noteworthy event
ever held in this handsome hall. There were
over 256 couples on the dancing floor, and a
large number of people watched the gay
scene from the gallery. Handsome officers
in handsome uniforms intermingled with less
| gaudily-attired p~rivates, n the scene was
dazzling to say the least. Among the uni
| forms noticed on the floor were those of the
Seventh, Twenty-second and Seventy-first
Regiments of New York. First Sergeant
| William Maxon, the hustling Chairman of
the Entertainment Committee, deserves spe-
cial mention for the success of the affair.

E 70 BLAME.
Mr.. Andrew J. Corcoran argued that times
were not so bad as manufacturers tried to
make people believe they were. He saws
business men scream hard times when there's
no occasion for it. He maintained that the
whole fault was with the moneyed men who
tied up their money and kept it from circu-
lating.
"Some manufacturers make use of these
cries of hard times by working half time and
reducing wages. 1t is not necessary. The
progress of our glorious country annot be
checked. The demand cannot be stopped.
Manufacturing must go ahead, and it is more
possible to dam upa river and give it no out
let thar to stop it," Mr.. Corcoran then
argued that the city should push all public
work. He referred particularly to the
Ravine Road sewer, which he said should
give 1000 men work.
MONEY APPROPRIATED
DR.. Gordon insisted upon taking the bull
by the horns. He introduced a resolution
appropriating $500 of the boards funds, $3.50
to be placed in charge of Poormaster Hewitt
and $3.50 in charge of a committee appointed
by the chair. The resolution prevailed and
the committee to take charge of the funds
consists of DR.. Gordon, Messrs. Edward
Hoos and H. V. Condit.
Subsequently it was decided to ask the
public to contribute to a fund with money,
food, articles of wearing apparel and
everything OF use to poor people. TIC
gives the fund a start DR.. Gordon
gave $25, Andrew J. Corcoran gave $25
more, John D. Carscallen gave S25, and a
like sum was given by Edward Hoos, John
]. Voorhees,, B. l.. Stone. Paterson & low
land gave $40; Joseph A. Dear, s.; E. R.
Vessels. IS; Thomas Egan, IS.
Prior to adjournment DR.. Gordon read a
letter from "Poet" DAILY, in which he sug
gested that all the city employees give so per
cent, of their wages to the poor. He main
tanned that if they did this all the time they
would be receiving about what they were
worth.
