Another Russian Blunder.

The reported firing of the Baltic
fleet on the fleet of British fishing
vessels has naturally excited more
or less indignation in the British
public. According to the press
dispatches there seems to have
been little or no excuse for the
act. an u it can be explained only
on the ground of the grossest sort
of carelessness. The target prae
tice theory seems flimsy to a de-
gree. That was neither the time
nor the place for target practice.
The theory advsnced that it may
have been an accident is qually
unfounded The aim of the Rus
SLAMS and the deadly effect OF
their fire leave no doubt that they
intended to damage their targets
According to the reports all rea-
sonable effects were taken by the
fishing vessels TO make known
their identity, and the strange
part OF the unfortunate affair was
that after disabling several OF the
British boats and killing and in
juring a number of the occupants,
the Russians quietly stole away
without efforts to ascertain the
effect of their work or to offer
assistance. This looks ugly, and
is calculated to accentuate the
British feeling against them.
Especially interesting is the
incident in view of the fact that
Russian warships recently de-
tanned and searched British
and were promptly
required to apologize. At that
time the Russian government
expressed its regrets at the mis-
take, snd promised that their
naval officers at sea would be
more careful in future. Now come
this second and even more
grievous offense right in British
waters. Evidently the Russians
have blundered seriously, an
they will doubtless be required
to apologize and make amends
Whatever feeling may now exist
towards the English by reason of
their sympathy for Japan in the
Eastern war the Russians realize
that this is no time for additional
entanglements, and they would
be slow to offend so great a ma
val power as Great Britain.
The reasonable assumption l.
that they realized their serious
blunder and then got out of the
way as soon as possible with the
hope taat their identity may not

JUDGE PARKER ON rHg TARIFF.

In his address Saturday at
Esopus Judge Parker gave a
comprehensive review of the tar
iff and its history in this country
from its beginning in 1889. The
speaker refuted the arguments
based upon the Hamiltonian the
DRY of over a hundred years ago,
and declared that in his advocacy
of a tariff Hamilton said that his
object was to promote such man
ufactures as ''as will tend to rem
DER the United States indepen-
dent of foreign nations for mill
tary and other essential sup
plies" Judge Parker asked:
docs anybody say that We have
not reached that condition? Have
we not frequently heard the note
of alarm in Europe at the Amer
can invasion of the worlds mar
kets by our manufactured goods
and especially those of iron and
steel?'
The speaker showed how va
rious situations such as the Civil
War were taken advantage of by
those pecuniarily interested in a
protective tariff to have it in
creased until it had grown from
s IL per cent. in 1889, when
many of our industries were real
ly infants, to a scale of over 30
per cent, while the So called in
FAINT industries have become col
lateral. Said he:
Hamilton said that the iron
and steel industry was already
in flourishing condition in his
time. He was willing, never
theless, to give 1-2 per cent of
protection to steel. It now pays
ST SO per ton on steel rails. and
steel pool sells them to Cana
dians at SIC per ton. but exacts
S2S from American purchasers.
1t ia enabled by the tariff TO do
this, for without the tariff it
would be obliged to sell at home
at the price at which they could
be imported."
Judge Parker showed how
greatly had been abused the old
cry of "Infant Industries" until
they have been built up to pow
erful combines earning enormous
profits at the cost OF the con-
sumers and controlling prices
under federal patronage. Said
he:
ssThe tariff beneflciaries and
the stand patters' have aban-
doned arguments. They vir-
tually say to u now that high
protective tariff is q good thing,
and ought to last forever, and by
this they mean the present Ding
ley tariff. So far have the old
arguments been abandoned that

LEAP YEAR.

OF course everybody knows why
''leap wear comes to be necessary
in or measurement of time. 1t
was not always so. The earliest
astronomers Of our history counted
an even 800 days iii a year, and Let
il 50 at thai. But the consequence
was that they lost about day III
every four years, or nearly a month
in a century. Confusion ensued.
Autumn came i'll the summer. 10
correct this, julius Caesar consult
ed an Egyptian sage, who advised
him to add a day to every fourth
year. He also added so DAYS to
the year III which the calendar was
changed, in order to restore the
spring equinox to its proper date.
As time passed however, it was
found that the Julian calendar was
imperfect, too, for year is not ex-
actly 365 days and hours, but 800
days, ) hours, IS minutes and As
seconds. The Julian year was,
therefore, a fraction Of all hour too
long, and by the year 1882 it was
found that the spring equinox had
receded from March %, where Tuli-
us Caesar had put it, to March II.
Fourteen days had been added.
Pope George XIII then undertook a
second reformation by suppressing
ten days. Since it was known that
the error i'll the Julian calendar
to three days in 400 years
the Pope ordered the extra day of
February to be omitted from all
years except those that
are multiples of 400 Thus 1900
was a leap year, but 100, 1900
and 1900 were not. England adopt
ed the Gregorian calendar in 1852,
but it has not yet been adopted in
Russia. III that empire the last
three centenary years have been
regarded as leap years. Hence the
original ten days divergence be-
now increased to thirteen. 1t is
not to be supposed that the Gregor-
ian civil year is exactly coincident
with the solar year. 1t is about 26
seconds too long. But it is near
enough to cause no Inconvenience.
