The announcement of new novel by
the far famed author of ''The War of the
Worlds" will be of interest to a large nor
ton of the reading world that took
pleasure in that eccentric, fantastic. and
delightfully."- impossible flight of fancy.
The publication of 'The War of The
Worlds" won Mr.. Wells his fame and
placed him in the front rank of novelist,
of his kind. He stands on a higher plane
than Jules Verne, and it is safe to say
that he has given and will continue 20 give
pleasure to more readers than tie great
French novelist has done. This new
novel is entitled ''When the Sleeper
Wakes, and is to appear as a serial in
Harper Weekly during 1899.

An Argument for Immortality.

To THE EDITOR OF The SUN-Sir: You say
to-day that only in the dogmatic assertion OF
the authority OF revelation from God. OF
wholly supernatural communication. has any
body any ground for assuming. as the Rev.
MIR. Savage assumes. that the dead come to
life again in another state OF existence"
Now. by practically common consent the
whole world admits that all life Is continuous
in some form The instructive hope and desire
OF all races for Immortality is in itself strong
argument for its realization. Every other in
stinctive desire in the human breast has it's
logic In the possibility Of qualification. Should
the universally instructive desire in this par
tlcular be the exception?
In other matters we reason by analogy and
no one questions conclusions arrived at In this
way; provided the ratioclnation Is not faulty.
hence we must reason that, the invisible spir-
itual entity exists prior to the outward visible

Liners and Meters.

The anglers may now begin to hustle in
earnest Weakfish are biting ravenously
in the Raritan Bay and at all the neighbor-
ing points of the Jersey and Staten Island
shores, especially in the Great Kills. At
the latter place, Capt. PETE TRAYo Of the
Cigale opened the season for good yester-
day morning with twenty-five beauties.
which he captured in something less than
two hours, using an extremely light rod.
The water is still rather cold, but that
seems to make little difference; the fish
have come to stay, and II they are not all
scooped up in pound nets and purse nets
principally for fertilizer, there will be a
wholesome fresh supply in the market and
plenty Of sport for the knights OF the hook
and line, among whom Governor RoosE-
WELT Is now enrolled
There has been great deal of misunder-
standing In regard to the dispute between
the net men and the line men. The newly
formed anglers league is not the crea-
tion Of fools who would interfere with
the reasonable and legitimate rights OF
the netters. Everybody knows that nets
must be used to supply the markets
but few people believe that only a
fourth Of the choice game fish caught
In nets should go to tho market and the
rest allowed to SPOIL to be tossed over
board, or converted into material for ma
nuring potato patches. It Is against this
shameful waste of food fishes. that the
anglers are now leagued. OF course, the
spelling Of their sport has much to do
with the position they have taken. This
they admit frankly like honest men, and it
Is not at all improbable that compromise
may be made between them and the net
ters, by which the latter might endeavor
to limit their operations to the neces-
sary market supply. For instance, they
might stop netting to some extent
at least during the spawning season,
and raise their pounds and stop working
the purses for one or two days every week
during the summer months. That might
benefit themselves in the long run and
satisfy the anglers, the hotel keepers and
the shore railroad companies.
The theory that the food supply OF the
sea can never be affected by any device OF
man is perfectly sound in regard to outside
deep-sea fishing; but the notion that the
inshore run OF game fish cannot be turned
back or affected by miles OF pound nets
stretching out in echelons along the coast is
simply absurd. Evidently there ls little too
much netting. 1t should be limited and it
would be better to have the change for the
better made voluntarily by the dealers
themselves than to have it forced upon
them by State Legislature.
Meanwhile The SUN salutes the league OF
salt water anglers and wishes them all
manner OF good luck.

Russian policy is undoubtedly to cause
the populations Of that part OF Asia to look
to Russia as the dominating power in all
those regions north Of the great plateau OF
Thibet in which the Yang tse Kiang, now
definitely recognized as within the British
sphere Of action, takes its rise. What may
be the value OF the vast territory between
the present frontier OF Siberia and Thibet
no one knows as yet, and II must be many
years before its resources whatever they
are, can be opened up. What Is essential In
the matter is, that, through the agreement
between England and Russia, the develop
ment OF 1t will be OF a peaceful character
and by means Of the cvilizing influence Of
the iron rail.
Chinese authority in western Mongolia
and Turkestan will not long survive the
corrosive influence OF the steam engine and
Russian enterprise, and the mysterious and
once populous regions that poured their
hordes into Europe will receive back in
European civilization the means OF render
ing them again At for human habitatlon.
The Sriet OF st. Petersburg, in an article
In which 1t opposes the suggestion OF a
junction between the Transcaspian and
Indian railways as tending only to pro-
mote British trade in central Asia and
encourage political agitation, remarks:
Russia should occupy herself exclusively with
establishing munication between her possessions
in Central Asia and the Indian Ocean by means OF
railway trayersing Persia. This line aud the Trans
siberian Railway would then constitute two gigantic
arms. with which Russia would encircle all the
spheres Of British interest in Asia and would not
allow England to extend her influence indefinitely
at the expense of Russian interests. The line In
question, connecting Russia by way OF Persia with
the Indian Ocean. would be OF real use to Russia.
while the junction Of the Russian and Indian lines
would be specially advantageous to the British Gov
ernment."
From this article and similar ones that
have appeared In the Russian papers at
different times, it is evident that the final
struggle between Russia and England in
Asia, whatever form 1t may take, will be
over Persia through which Russia Is in
evtably bound to have right Of way for
the commerce Of her central Asian posses
sions to the sea. But to obtain this does not
necessarily involve resort to arms.

Canadian Politics.

MONTREAL. May 22-Parlianlent at Ottawa is
in the throes OF another wordy discussion over
a new Redistribution bill introduced by SIR
Wilfrid Laurier. The object OF 1t Is to bring
back the limits of the electoral constituencies
TO the old county lines, out OF which they were
gerrymandered years ago by the Tories with
the purpose OF securing to their party per-
manent tenure of Office at Ottawa. In this
they were fairly successful, and had 1t not been
for their mismanagement OF the Manitoba
school question in 1893 and their in
ternal divisions after the death of Sir
John A, Macdonald they might have been
in power still. The bill mostly affects the
province OF Ontario, where the gerrymander OF
the Tories had been the most tiagran Il y carried
out. The passage OF the bill. with perhaps a
few amendments Is pretty certain, and the
opinion is that general election will follow
at no very distant date The common saying
is that Sir Wilfrid Laurier Is the new Conser-
vatve leader. for while the really liberal Liber-
ais are falling away from him, Converted"
Tories. as they are styled. are taking their
position which Is developing at Ottawa and In
the country. and will show Itself at the next
election, will be composed OF the extremes OF

White and Black Politics.

Governor NoRTHEN OF Georgia made this
remark In the course Of his long address on
the Southern negro question at the Congre-
gational Club at Boston on Monday:
Negro politics. in my judgment a. taught dur
ing reconstrucon and continued to the present day,
seeking to dominate the white people OF the South.
are responsible for most Of the blood that has been
spilled. the outragos that have been perpetrated.
and the sorrows that have come to the whites and
negroes Of the South. The course Of the Northern
press is responsible for much of the remainder. The
South is white mans country. and II will never be
delivered over to negroes whatever the power and
influence brought to bear to force this fearful end
Why might not Governor NoRTHEN have
white politics2' At any rate, is 1t not in
the political separation Of the two races by
a sharply drawn political liner
The negroes Of the South are universal
ly Republicans, as it was inevitable they
would be after their enfranchisement by
the Republican party. They cannot be
accused Of Q desire to dominate the
whites on that account. Any people en-
franchised by one political party against
the opposition OF the other party would
support their liberators as a matter Of
course. In the South the whites continue
to be Democrats; there is substantially no
political division among them; and conse-
quently the negroes, being naturally Re-
publicans, are on one side In politics and the
whites on the other.
That Is the cause Of the trouble. AS a cti-
zen, white or black, in the North or the
South, has a right to ally himself with
whichever party he prefers, how can it be
removed under our political system? OF
course, every voter for party wants to
dominate to the extent Of securing politi-
cal control for his party; that is why he
votes for it.
The political situation at the South is
unnatural in this division of parties on
race lines purely, and evil results, neces-
sarily. The bitterness Of political hostil-
ity is aggravated and intensified by race
animosity. Instead Of undertaking to lead
the negro voters, as intelligence In the
long run can always lead ignorant voters,
the whites have organized themselves in
solid political opposition to them. They
have the right to do it, but Is it wise? Is
there any reason Of national policy why in
the South alone the whites should be con-
soidated in single party2
We do not say this to inveigh against the
Southern whites. for their political attitude
is natural enough, unwise and unfortunate
for them and for the whole country though
1t be. But il they themselves insist on
getting together politically as race, how
can they reasonably find fault with the
negroes for doing the same, under the i'm
pulse Of inevitable attachment for the party
by which they were enfranchised3 Thus
there comes up problem at the South
which will have to be worked out with fear
and trembling.

The New Canal Commission.

There is every reason to believe that the
engineer board which is soon to visit the
Isthmus for the final review OF the inter-
oceanic problem there, will be able to fur
nsh Congress all the information it re-
quires for practical action next summer.
The care and deliberation with which
Congress has proceeded in this important
matter are most commendable. When
the Maritime Canal Company found it
could not carry through the canal en-
terprse unaided, and the United States
Government was asked to undertake it. the
Ludlow commission was sent to Greytown,
under the action Of Congress. Its, report
