TO one Frenchman. who is in a position to know,
the places left vacant by death among the large
French importers are not being filed UP by
arrivals from the other side. and the older resi-
dents of French extraction becoming daily
more thoroughly American. This more culu-
waited class retains the national French liking
for Meyerbeer's Les HuguenOts" and GoUuod's
"Faust"-the French persist in regarding Meyer
beer as a Partisan. Delbess Sylvia ballet IS
another French preference which the American
climate has not affected. But anything like a
national bias is strongly discaimed; Massenet's
LIE Cid has more drawing power for the
New-York French than it would have il any
other composer had fathered Il. and the only

ties with the opera going French. but that is

not because Paris is practically their home or
because of the French inability to see any dIf-

by loud ard heated debate. In an English

surely have meant a difference of opinion about

condemned. Nor could any such war of words

Two of the special articles in the
April number of McCmro's Magazine
are very fitting to this season when
the new life of nature in the spring
draws our thoughts from cities, mer-
chaudise and men to field aud wood.
The first of these Is II wonderful story
of the beaver, written by William
Davenport Hubert after n long study
OF the animal In It's homo amid the
wilds. The authors account of IL is
made complete by series of pictures
drawn by A. Radclyilo pugmore, an
artist sent into the hoaver-country for
this purpose by the magazine. The
second article is by Martha McColloch
Williams, and In It she gives us u

Is borne 10y the magic of her sympath-
etic art into days life on the farm,
with scent OF clover, song OF birds
CLINT of sun aud sweet smell OF fresh

lightful Ms they are distinctive.
In another direction this number of
the magazine Is equally attractive and
valuable. "Walks and Talks with
Tolstoy,n an illustrated article by
Andrew u, White, Ambassador to
Germany, affords vivid picture Of
the Russian genius character and
personality.

The provision for paying subsidies to
foreign built ships Is in itself contrary
TO the avowcd purpose of the measure.
1t is utterly in conflict with every idea
ever put forward by the advocates of
subsidies for American shipbuilding.
Nevertheless. If subsidies were given
to ships bought abroad by any and all
Americans, say, for the next 20 years,
on the sole condition that an equal
number of ships of the same kind
should be built in America, 1t is con-
ceivable that this would add considera-
ably to the number Of ships owned by
Americans and to the number built
here. That is not what this bill does.
1t gives subsidies only to the ships
built or contracted for prior to the LIST
OF January, 1900. For what reason
such peculiar and valuable privileges
should be directly conferred on any
class we do not know, nor have we
seen any rational explanation of 1t by
the advocates of the plan in congress.
1t Is easy enough to understand how 1t
was proposed by the gentlemen who
would reap the profit. but how any re-
sponsible man in public life could nj
low himself TO be implicated in SO
transparent a prostitution of the pub
lie authority for private gain passes
our comprehension.
We believe that this feature OF the
bill will produce its defeat. We do not
think that congress will have the hardi-
hood to resist the strong public opinion
that has sprung up since the true ma
ture of the bill has been made known.
But II the scheme should, by the means
open to the wealthy corporations inter-
ested in II, be pressed through con-
gress, we shall hope that the president
will veto II. 1t is a shameless attempt
TO peryert the principle OF protection
70 American industry TO which he has
lent the force OF his advocacy, and TO
foot the treasury for private interests.

camille marine, he should kill it.-New
