AMERICAN SHIPS AND OTHERS.

There was recent announcement, which was
received in this country with pleasure If not
with eXultation, that a new steamship line was
TO be established between Brazilian ports and
New York The statement we believe was cor
rect The new line will create competition with
the one now existing, it will improve the direct
passenger and freight service between the
United States and Brazil, and it will further
lessen the need of travelling by way of Europe
In getting from one country to the other.
In all this there is reason for qualification
But there would be far greater reason if only
the new line were to be American under the
Stars and Stripes. Instead, it is a Brazilian
line, and the existing line with which it will
compete is British line. So. while Americans
can go TO and come from Brazil directly with
out a European detour, they must do so under
either the British or the Brazilian flag. Great
Britain seems to be more interested in traffic
between America and Brazil than is America it.
self. Brazil seems to be better able than the
United States to establish and maintain an In
ternational steamship line.
Another pleasant announcement Is that of q
new steamship line from Peru northward to
Panama, and perhaps to Mexican and Califor-
nian ports, which will, even under present cir
cumstances, facilitate and Increase commerce
between America and Peru. When the Panama
Canal is completed. it is understood, that line
and for the first time there will be direct traffic
between New York and Callao without the long
journey around Patagonia. But, again, 1t would
be far more gratifying if the new line between
Peru and America were to be American Instead
of Peruvian.
We note that Argentina also, is to have an
other fine new steamship line, giving her direct
access to some important European ports, which
Will be equipped with at least four first class
double screw turbine ships. That is a crafty
ing outlook, upon which Argentina is to be con-
graduated. But 1t would be more gratifying to
Americans If, Instead Of Argentine line to
Europe, it were to be an American line TO Ar
gentina.
It may be observed incidentally, before dis
missing the subject, that all these lines are being
made possible through government aid-subven-
ton, subsidy or whatever it may be called.
That fact marks the difference between the
United States and those countries They grant
subsidies and get ships. The United States
grants no subsidies and gets no ships.
New-York tribune., 1906-11-18
THE AMERICA'S CUP.

There will be widespread satisfaction over the
decision of Sir Thomas Upton to compete once
more for the yachting trophy which he has
hitherto vainly sought to capture. Though it
was known that he was strongly disposed to
make a fresh venture-and even contemplated
doing so this year-there some doubt about
his finding the new rules Of the New York Yacht
Club entirely acceptable He now approves them
heartily.
Sir Thomas shows an extremely gracious
spirit in following up his previous lack of sue
cess with another challenge Other British
yachtsmen appear to consider the recovery Of
the Americas Cup difficult that they are un-
willing to undertake It, Sir Thomas evidently
thinks that It is possible to build better
Shamrock than his three others, and to reduce
the disparity between his boats and those with
which he has competed. Nevertheless he gives
expression to his hopes in a modest fashion
The outcome Of Sir Thomas's next visit to these
shores will be awaited eagerly by thousands
besides the owners of yachts on this side of the
Atlantic

PERILOUs TRANSPORTATION.

Mr.. Herbert Parsons president of the Re-
publican County Committee in New York, is
said TO be intent on initiating vigorous cam
paign against abuses in local transportation. A
committee Is TO be appointed. composed of rep
resentat1ves from every Assembly district in
the boroughs OF Manhattan and The Bronx,
which shall investigate the matter and formu-
late speclnc plan for securing relief from the
Legislature
Inc movement certainly contemplates a much
needed reform. 1t is doubtful whether ot tho
present time the people of New York suffer
from any more distressing evil than that which
comes from the overcrowding of surface cars
and the trains on the elevated road ana in the
subway Not only mere comfort, but decencv.

who live In the crowded district there are many
whose sense of right is warped through
years of oppression, and that petty crime is the
result They know also that agnosticsm has
made and is making great inroads in American
Judaism but there seems to be doubt as to
who is the better able to combat the situation
in the interest of the human family-the Chris
tian missionary or the Jews themselves. The
Jews have erected AMI are maintaining educa-
tional and other institutions for one of these
classes, and they hope to bring about change
for the better by Americanizing all those who
come under their care. For the other class
learned teachers have gone into the field and
have started on q campaign directed toward
recaiming those who have seeded. It will be
difficult TO bring them back into the fold. and
it may be no easy matter to make Christians of
them, for, despite the lack of education of one
class and the dissatisfaction with Judaism OF
the other. they are still Jews. of whom DR..
Rosenau says
Before they can become Christians the con-
vel siOnists must change the Jews who,e nature,
blot out their entire past. extending over CEN
turies and recast the philosophy giving shape to
their ives
Both sides, one represented by the Christian
missionary intent on making converts and the
other by the Jewish leaders striving to stamp
out ignorance and to stem the stampede to the
camp of the agnoSticS have only the good OF
their fellow men in mind and 1t will be inter-
esting to note which will make the greater prog
ress among the people of whom, according to
DR.. Batten, there are more in New York than
there are members Of the Protestant Episcopal
Church in the United States.

Sanitary experts have traced the typhoid
epidemic which created havoc in Middletown,
Conn, to oysters allowed to 'fatten"-that is,
soak up fresh water-for few hours near the
mouth of a sewer after being taken from their
healthful natural bed. When will consumers
learn to avoid pufred up and freshened oysters
and teach dealers to stop that senseless and
dangerous method of preparing oysters for
