Never Again.

This little observation of the Hon. VIII
LIAM LYsoNG STRoNG's. found in his pub
lished expressions of disappointment over
the battle that Is past, calls for thought:
"This may not be the end of the Citizens Union"
On the contrary, the Citizens Union Is
dead. Although known before and des-
tined to be known again, Citizens Unions
cannot be put down in the catalogue of
"annuals." They are new creations every
time, without the principle of continuity
or the possibility Of permanence. Being
founded on the idea of anti-partisanship, a
device of the guileful and trap for the
guileless, if one lives beyond the campaign
for which it was organized it must become
corrupted into a party, and lose its grace.
1t can have no principles but the can
didate, and the bylaws Of its being for
bid the candidate to nave any principles.
The history of the Citizens Union Of
1894 shows the fate Of the Union Of
1897. When it came to electing a sue
cessor to its former leader, Mayor
STRONG, the conglomeration behind him
had collapsed and an entirely new one
was formed through the superior conglom-
Grating ability of Mr.. SETH Low. Another
year may find a statesman of more daz-
cling and plant virtues than Mr.. Low.
Except at times of peculiar stress of the
public mind, every Citizens Union," or
movement independent of the regular par
ties, will be the sporadic m%achination of

The New West Side Police Court.

The opening on Wednesday of q new
police court in Fifty-fourth street, between
the Eighth and Ninth avenues, after years
Of delay and after an expenditure of several
hundred thousand dollars. is worthy of
more attention than 1t has yet received, for
few persons understand how large a part in
the administration of justice in New York
is taken by the police court tribunals.
Approximately, one hundred thousand
persons are arraigned each year in the pc.
lice courts in New York city. Each case
includes also a complainant, usually a po-
lice officer or detective, and In many cases,
though not in all, a civilian complainant.
the victim or alleged victim of some viola
ton of legal regulations. In addition to the
prisoner and the complainant, there is often
a witness or two, and in some cases there
are several--sometimes as many as a
dozen. Taking into account, therefore,
the prisoners, civilian co~mplainants,
the police officers, and the witnesses,
and adding to them the lawyers, for the
more serious cases arraigned in New York
police courts are attended by counsel for
the defence, 1t is apparent hat not far from
half a million persons in a year have, one
way or other, to do with police courts. II
might be supposed reasonably under such
circumstances, that these tribunals would

vember and gives a majority OF about 3d.
600 for the Bryanite Chief Justice.
This great political transformation, this
astonishing political ~fckleness, was mani.
tested In the Greater New York moro par
ticularly. To 1t alone was due the election
Of the Bryanite, Judge PARKER. The
maiorities against him In the outside State
were over 8 1000, and there were petty
Democratic majoritles In Ave counties only.
The transfer of the State from the Republi-
can column, from political conservatism to
the radicalism Of Organism, was effected
solely by the Greater New York.
That is the marvellous result OF the cleo.
ton in the great American capital, the
centre Of American wealth and civilization
and the second city Of the world, and it is no
wonder that BRYAN and the Bryanites re-
joice exceedingly, deeming that their gen.
eral triumph in 1900 is now assured. They
went into the "the enemy's country" and
took complete possession of 1t; while the
appointed defenders Of the citadel were
drunk with Lowism, Organism rushed in
and carried it by q carefully pr%econcerted
assault.
What does all this portendf It portends
a united Bryanite Democratic party in
1900, with the delegation from the great
and pivotal Empire State Of New York sup
porting the reafirmation of the Chicago
platform, against which it stood so solidly
in 1896. It means the unconditional sur
render Of the New York Democracy to Bry.
anism.
That is what has come upon the con.
servatism of a great community as the con-
sequence Of its losing its balance under the
influence of a craze for a clap.trap political
novelty. 1t turned madly from the course
pointed out to it by obvious political pru'
dence, not to SAL principle. and ran head
long into ruinous folly. Now, the mania
spent, it must begin to think Of paying the
cost. And the bill will be heavy.

which now obstruct navigation between
Cairo and tho mouth Of the Red River, q
permanent channel would result therefrom
in which the high and low water paths
would coincide. He believes, also, that the
diminishing slope for all stages of the river
would gradually adjust itself; that the en-.
ergy required to preserve and improve the
channel would be sustained, and the flood
surface be lowered from year to year, and
that ultimately the entire volume of water
would be discharged between the natural
embankments, without overflow, and In
less than one.half the time required to COM
plete the jetty system.

A Short Psychology OF Plagiarism

Against the superstition that in any given
case, when plagiarism is charged, a minis
ter of the Gospel has deliberately and dis
honestly appropriated the language of an
other and uttered 1t as his own, there are
always these strong grounds for the pre-
sumption of innocence:
l. The clear perception Of moral princi.
pies which the professional teachers of
morality in q vast majority Of instances
possess;
2. The probability Of detection and the
immense risk not only to personal reputa-
ton but to the dignity Of the pulpit;
8. The difficulty, in case of detection, Of
making any defence that will satisfy intel
ligent persons.
These are the great safeguards against
systematic or occasional plagiarism by cler.
gymen. That is why 1t is 80 infrequent an
offence. The first consideration Is one of
principle; the second n third Of worldly
prudence. Yet under strong temptation
they sometimes all break down, one after
the other, and the process Of collapse is
somewhat like this:
/. The pangs of conscience are assuaged
by the reflection that SHAKESPEARE and
certain others took what they found when
they wanted 1t, without the slightest COM
junction, and are not the less deemed great.
How can I improve on this ready-made
passage 2" reasons the hesitating plagiarist.
1.-THE main thing is the effect and not the
origin. 1t will do much good to immortal
souls, and 1t should be uttered for the good
1t will do. The effect will be impaired and
the good lessened If l break the continuity
of my remarks by announcing that it is a
quotation. Unfortunately, there Is no way,
by infection of the voice or otherwise, of
attaching quotation marks to a spoken sen.
tence. 1 will, therefore, utter 1t, for the
good that it will do, and let the quotation
points be understood by any hearer who
may happen to recognize the passage"
2. The fear Of detection Is lessened by
the remoteness of the source from which
the coveted passage is lifted. Thus it hap
pens that in most cases the passages sup
posed to have been stolen by ministers of
the Gospel are traced back to the sermons
pamphlet literature, rather than to we'll
known books and the recorded utterances
Of the contemporary pulpit.
8. If worse comes to worse, the detected
~plagiarist car fall back on the plea Of un.
conscious appropriation. That rarely con.
vinces an intelligent and unprecedented
Judge or juror; but it has this advantage.
that 1t cannot be absolutely disproved by
anybody except the accused.

The Georgian Bay Canal.

Our Consul at Ottawa reports that Brit
fish capitalists have taken up the scheme
to shorten the water route from Chicago
to Liverpool by means of a canal from
Georgian Bay to Lake Ontario.
The project is old. and. in fact. at one
time assumed q form still moro novel
and interesting than the present. 1t was
proposed to traverse the route with a ship
railway, like the one which Capt. EAps
advocated for the isthmus Of T~ehuantepec.
The distance to be accomplished was about
sixty.six miles, and 1t would have been a
bold undertaking to raise loaded ships out
of the water with a hydraulic lit at Geor-
gian Bay, and set them down again in Lake
Ontario, after this railroad trip. Mr..
CoRTHELL, who was associated with Capt.
EADs, gave his opinion, we believe, that a
ship railway wa perfectly practicable
over that route.
But the scheme now spoken of is a rever-
sion to the original plan Of q canal between
the two points. A glance at the map will
show on what facts It relies for success.
Georgian Bay is the easterly arm Of Lake
Huron, and in place of the roundabout route
through the whole extent of that lake,
and thence through st. Clair River,
Lake st. Clair. Detroit River, Lake
Erie, and the Welland Canal, the new
route would take a short cut to
Lake Ontario. The start would be, we be-
lieve. near Collingwood. on Georgian Bay,
and the terminus at the mouth Of the Hum
Der, which enters Lake Ontario west Of
Toronto. The shortening of the route be-
tween Duluth or Chicago and Montreal is
obvious, and the main question is whether
the tolls required to pay for the enterprise
would or would not be Offset for shippers
by the gain in time.
1t should be noted that this route would
be designed for that part of the lake traffic
which takes the st. Lawrence route,
whereas that which goes by the Erie Canal
adopts the Lake Erie course. 1t is there.
fore an enterprise which appeals especially
to Canadian interests. 1t concerns us,
however, as an indication of what oul
neighbors at the north are trying to do in
the way of improving their grain routes tc
Europe, and it suggests promptness in i'm
proving our own.
