A POLICY of RetaIintion.

It looks very much as if this country
would have to adopt pol
icy OF retaliation in dealing
with France and Germany. Both
of those countries are discriminating
against our agricultural products. and
they give the nimsiest of reasons for doing
so. They are reasons which we should
not for a moment think of accepting.
They take from us a little more than
we get from them. stin, we can better
afford to have our products shut out by
them than they can afford
to be shut out of our mar
kets. During the last fiscal year
we received from France and Germany
merchandise of the value Of $11S,0Oo,OOO,
Of which $S6, 100000 was dutiable. During
the same period we exported to France
products valued at S53,OOO,OOO, and to Ger
many products valued at s9O,OOO,OOO. max
ing a total of Sl4S,OOO.OOO
If France and Germany continue their
unfair discrimination this country will
undoubtedly adopt the policy of retalia-
ton. A discriminating duty will be put
on the articles we receive from them
and it will be large enough to practically
shut them out of our markets. They will
then realize that it is much the better
policy to deal fairly with us. Without
an entrance to our markets a good many
of their industries would cease to be
remunerative. They would be ruined. Be
fore the people of those countries would
submit to having good per centage of
their most profitable factories closed
they would force their respective gov
ernments to cease their unjust discrim-
nations against this country. There
ought to be no unnecessary delay in
making France and Germany understand
what orr purpose is

Ner orIenn., Labor rrouhIe..

The labor troubles I'm New Orleans
/ have reached the lawless point. II was
+ evident sometime ago that they would
reach that point before there would be a
permanent settlement OF them. They
have existed pretty much all winter. and
] in consequence Of them New Orleans has
lost a large amount Of traffic.
The troubles have been badly handled
from the beginning by the authorities.
The way has been open at all times for
the lawIess element TO commit lawless
acts. There were no police on hand yes
terday al the points Of disturbance until
after the shooting was practically over
The Iawareakers had ample time 10 do
what they intended and escape: The
mayor must have known that there was
strong probability that lawless acts.
and perhaps murder. would be committed
on the levee at any time during the last
six or seven days, and ne should have had
an ample force of police on hand to
check any outbreak that might occur. He
does not seem TO have thought it his
duty to take precautions TO prevent vio-
leuce.
Since the labor troubles began several
people have been killed, and numbr
wounded. We have not seen it stated that
any Of the rioters have been punished.
The weak policy of dealing with lawless-
ness amounts practically to an invita-
ton to continue IT.
In the meantime the commerce Of New
orleans is suffering. Shippers. ship
owners and ship agents have lost heavi-
~. Almost all winter they have had to
contend with serious dimculties-dificul-
ties that tend 10 drive the trade Of the
port elsewhere.
And the worst Of it is there are no
signs Of an immediate settlement Of the
troubles with a weak city government
and a divided public sentiment they may
continue into the next cotton season. A
city does not appreciate the value Of
firm and courageous municipal govern
ment until the want of it is felt.

How Langtry Crushed High Roller

According to a sweet morsel of Cos

Plttsburg Dispatchs New York Letter
AS has been noted before Antonio Terry,
the rich Cuban whom Sybil Sanderson
says will marry her as soon as he gets
divorce from his wife, paid marked at
tention to the Lily during the grand opera
season. She didn't reciprocate worth
cent. After much coaxing, however she
consented to accompany him in brough-
am to a jewelry store, where he asked
her to pick to her hearts desire. so far as
a bauble of great price was concerned.
Here was her chance to teach him a les
son. She chose bracelet, the coStliest one
in the shop. Then Tony" became en-
barrassed, as he remarked to both seller
and recipient, that his remittance had

the Jewel providing the jeWeler would
come down to his pile, naming the sum.
That was out of the question, and the
pair left for the hotel. Mr.. Terry all the
while expressing regret because his spare
change was not equal to the emergency
Mrs. Langtry laughed it off, but when
Tony" left her presence she returned to
the jeweler, drew her check for the differ

The opinion of Judge Richter Of New
Orleans on the Louisiana glove con-
test law, noted in our dispatches yes
terday, is all right as far as it goes,
but unfortunately it does not so far
enough. The judge handled the legisla-
ture in an altogether admirable manner.
When the opportunity for scrimmage
arose he. went into it without gloves,
and raised a welt or blackened an eye
with every blow. Legislative fraud and
mendacity," is what he called the act to
legalize prize fighting. 'Mendacious leg
islative frauds" therefore, is what he
calls the people who passed the act. How
ever, while the judge has laid out the
legislature neatly, the melancholy fact
remains, that he has not laid out the
law. The law remains, and under it
prize fighting may boom in Louisiana to
as great an extent as it ever did in the
palmiest days of the manly art" The
pity is that the judge couldn't smash the
law at the same time he was lambasting
the Legislature.

The North Sen Canal.

The Baltic canal, which the German
government is to open with so much
pomp and ceremony in June next, is a
great engineering work of direct CONNER
cial. as well as naval, importance. By
it the North sea and the Baltic sea will
be joined and ships may pass from one
to the other without the long, tedious and
dangerous voyage through the narrow
channels between Denmark and Sweden,
and rounding the Jutland peninsula. From
point to point the canal is siXty-one miles
long. Its eastern terminus is at Bruins
buttel on the river Elbe, and its western
terminus is at Holtenau, a little north of
the city and harbor of Kiel, the kaiser
famous Baltic naval station. At the sur
face the canal is 200 feet wide, and it's
depth is twenty-eight feet-deep enough
to permit of the free movement of the
largest ships in the German navy. There
are double locks 500 feet long and eighty
three feet wide at each end of the canal.
The system of lighting is said to be per-
feet. AT distances of 500 feet apart,
throughout the whole length of the canal,
there are two incandescent electric lamps
-one on each bank. The lights are on
poles twelve feet high. and are each of
acknowledgements power. 1t is estimated
that no less than 1880 vessels will pass
through the canal during the first year.
The work required eight years of time,
and the expenditure of $4000O,000. 1t is
noted in recognition of German accuracy,
honesty and energy that the amounts of
time and money required are within the
original estimates and contract which
facts present a striking contrast when
compared with the jobbery in some other
great engineering works - the Pacific
railroads. the Panama canal, and others
that might be mentioned.
The expected has happened. Catarina
Cara has been killed again. To most peo-
pie it is very embarrassing to be killed
even once. Therein, however, Senior Car
"a demonstrates his superiority over the
ordinary mortal He doesn't seem to
mind the demonstration of his mortality
at all In fact, from the plurality of his
deaths, it would appear that he rather
enjoys it. 1t is so grand and heroic to die
with ones boots on and lighting; and
Cara never dies any other way The
recent career of this extraordinary NOR
tuary mountebank suggests that there
may be method in his proceedings. He
may be preparing himself for realistic
renditions of romantic drama, in which
case he really by this time ought to
know how to do the climax fetchingly.

A measure before the New York legis-
lature proposes an extension of the law
authorizing Imprisonment for debt Ac-
cording to the New York World, under
the law as 1t stands only women are al
lowed to have their debtors imprisoned
to force a settlement" That being true,
the legislature ought either to extend
the law so as to permit of the imprison-
ment of all persons and sexes for debt,
or to repeal it altogether. And the latter
course is the only civilized course to pur-
sue Imprisonment for debt is a relic
of barbarism that should be left behind

A Missouri man has invented eontrlv-
ance to foil train robbers. Probably a
thousand other Missouri men have done
likewise. but not one of the thousand ex-
hibited a trace of the genius of No. 1,OO1.
His contrivance consists of a number of
shafts, cogwheels, etc, whereby the COM
bination lock of the safe in the express
car is connected with one of the axles in
such a way that the safe, after being
locked, cannot be opened again until the
axle shall have revolved a certain num-
Der of times. With the continuance the
express messenger sets the lock to travel
the number of miles TO the next station,
and it cannot be opened until the train
has gone the distance designated. Had
the inventor continued his contrivance
so as to put distance lock on the pas
sengers also, it might indeed be called
hold-up discourager. -------->-------.

One railroad that enters Topeka has
issued 1893 free passes to members of the
Kansas legislature and their friends, ION
account of legislation" since the current
session was convened. 1t may be de-
pended upon that all of those favors
were not given without the assurance of
a pecuniary return. The state will be
made to foot the bill in some manner. The
republican legislators of Kansas are al
most as bad after free passes as the
populsts were.

Both Are Correct.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch (Rep).

The Fifty-frst congress which was re
publican; the Fifty-second which was half
republican and half demOcratic; and the
Fifty-third which was democratic, stand
practically alike in having appropriated
each about the billion-dollar total These
totals being $l00.000,000 to Sl50000,0OO in ex-
cess of the record of previous congresses,
the congressional pamphleteers have,
when their figures are fully understood
succeeded in convicting both parties of
ineXcusable extravaganza. One showing
made by these controversialists is indis-
putable. The democrats accuse the repub-
Leans of extravaganza the republicans &C
cuse the democrats of the same offense. In
those both are en- irelN right

1t is possible that the Ashland, Ky,
dispatches, telling of a new, peculiar and
fatal malady that has appeared in the
Mud river section of that state. are fakes;
at the same time it may be that there is
truth in them. If there is, the bacteriolo-
gists will be called upon by public senti-
ment to bring out their germ incubators
and their strong glasses and determine
speedily what it is that is choking the
people of the Mud river section to death.
The Mud river physicians appear to be
powerless to deal with the disease; then
some physicians who are not of the Mud
river brand ought to take hold of the
matter and investigate it.

That demonstration down in Savannah

a capital thing, most instructive in several
ways. 1t cost only q glaciers bin for put

I think the affair shows those Georgians

for law, order, and liberty strictly on
principle, beating down strong, anarchic
forces and that in a singularly unpopular
cause. The right of this eX-priest TO cap
italize his experience in a sacred function
was surely about as uninspiring a stand
ard as could be set UP to rally round; and,
moreover, those who gathered behind it
knew what to expect at the polls next
November. But a position for fighting.
