DR.. Emil Young. professor Of phys
ioIogy at the University of Geneva,
is in great distress concerning tho
future Of our logs. Hc suggests, ii
an essay in Tho semaine Litterair
that in course of a thousand years
tho human race may have lost the
necessity Of the use Of legs and re.
tain those members Of tho body sole
ly as ornamental suryivals. Men re.
fuse moro and more to walk, though
walking i tho wholesomest Of phys.
ical exercises. Steam, electricity, thJ
rOpo railways, fricyclos and bicycles
have changed tho whole aspect Of
Swiss touring, as he says, in his own
generation. Everybody seems anx-
ious to get everywhere any way ex-
cept by the use of his legs"
In another generation, he supposes,
our travelling balloons win hang out
side our windows, or our electrical
coaches stand outside our doors. They
will be produced so cheaply that ev
cry man win have his own chariot,
Hence our legs win bccome super
huous. Then they villa be crippled

We shall be very fortunate IL the
avarioe Of some of Astoria's leading
citizens does not result in an indefinite
p-ostponement of the railroad. The
loss to the city by the delay already
experienced would have bought all the
rights required by Mr.. Hammond, a
great many times. 1t Is little won
der If Mr.. Hammond Is beginning to
lose all patience. No other city in the
country would have trihed with It's
opportunities as we have appeared to
do from the beginning.

The Monroe doctrine may nave NO
actual or definable existence, but the
fact remains that all the world re-
spected It until the accession of the
present administration. Its traditional
spirit, II not Its qebter, had become a
part OF the common law of i%nternation-
al comfy, and but for the way the
British have split upon and defied us
at Cortnto, Vt may be doubted If its
force would have ever been questioned
by any country. MT. Cleveland's
apathy over England's outrage on the
Nlcaraguan republic win lose this
country all the prestige and influence
gained by the immortal Blaine's pan
American conception. None OF the
Central and South American Spaniards
will hereafter have any incentive to
prefer us to amy other nation in trade
relations or alliances. Cleveland is
known ito be a man OF the most obstl-
nate prejudice and jealousy, and nearly
all the mistakes Of his foreign policy
are attributable to his puerlle and UNI
worthy determination to overturn and
set aside every prominent act OF his
Republican predecessors. The people
Of the Pacific coast have especial cause
to remember dhis weakness OF Mr..
Cleveland. His first official act after
has first inaugural was TO destroy the
Frelinghuyserr arrangement under
which the Nicnrakuan canal would
now be open and in active operation
under the auspices of This government.
Our appalling loss Of trade by the re-
peal of the Harrison reciprocity trea.
dies is another instance OF the presi-
DENTS blind egotism and prejudice;
while hhe trouble over the attempted
reversal OF the Harrison Hawaiian pol
Icy 10 too recent to require reference.
It Is a pity there is no man in the
presidents cabinet strong enough to
prevent these frequent exhibitions OF
passion and weakness. There is reason
to believe that when England com,
menced her bluster against Nicaragua
she anticipated a protest from thfs
country. and expected TO make that an
excuse Tor her failure to ~annlhilate
the Central American republic. To her
surprise no objection at all was made;
and 30. Of course. a holder attitude
was assumed. until she finally effetted
an actual Judgment in the place OF
oil others she wanted, but which the
world never dreamed we would allow
her to occupy. She will undoubtedly
make good use Of her opportunities.
and we may expect very shortly to
rcaiize the extent OF Sne presidents
mistake in the difficulty we shall eNpe-
rience In maintaining control Of the
great canal. and the contempt felt for
US by all the Latin-Amerlcan govern
