anybody is 10 make money out Of that
industry no one else has 50 good right

Wrights did, but for one reason or an
other they abandoned effort before
achieving complete success II was the
persistence Of the Dayton inventors

stopped thar demonstrated the feasibil-
ity Of fight with a different type OF
airship from the dirigible balloon. But

or tried 10 improve the aeroplane

company intends 10 train novices In the

OYSTER "FATTENING.-

Some agitation of mind las been
caused in New Jersey ny a reported
ruling of the United States Pure Food
Commission against the "fattening" of
oysters, or at least against the ship
ment and sale Of such oysters in inter
state commerce, and there are those
who say that execution OF the order
viii mean the destruction of fOur-tifths
OF the oyster industry OF the state
II is the practice Of some dealers to
take the oysters from their beds in the
tidal bays and lay them down for a
short time in fresh or partly fresh
water at the mouth Of creek. As Il
result the oysters are whitened and
blOated. and in that condition they are
shipped 10 market 1t is supposed that
they sell more readily and for higher
prices than they would in their natural
gray color. and, Of course. t does not
take SO many Of them to measure a
quart after they are bloated-
Whether the federal authorities are
right in regarding this as "adultera-
ton" need not be discussed here. The
question will be authoritatively disposed
Of in due time. Sanitarians will, how
ever, observe that NO better way of in
fecting oysters with typhoid fever could
well Ice devised than by thus laying
them down at the mouth Of Il stream
which is an open sewer for towns and
cities, while consumers should not need
10 be- reminded that il destroys the natu-
RAJ favor. We are glad 10 say that this
foolish and harmful practice is less COM
mon than il was a few years ago.

FRAKcE. CHURCH And SCHOOL.

FRANCE. CHURCH And SCHOOL.
Mr. Brands noteworthy parliament
airy triumph of last week strengthens
the likelihood that the question Of the
Church aud the schools will be foremost
in the coming general electoral campaign
in France That Will be because the
Pope and the French bishops have indi-
Gated il rs The issue on which the Cler-
icals and Royalists viii make their tight.
and because il now seems certain that
the Republicans have no cause 10 shrink
from IT, but. on the contrary, may well
regard il rs the issue most acceptable 10
them
II has been charged by Mr.. Eugene
Iavernier. who states the case for the
Roman Catholic Church with authority
ana force that the present seculariZa-
ton Of the schools Of France j. the out
come ~ the legend Of the schoolmas-
ter which arose generation ago. After
the war Of 1866 ii was indeed commonly
said that the battle Of Sadowa lad been
won 10y German schoolmasters. and
few years later the successes Of Ger
man arms and the disasters Of France
were attributed 10 the contrast between
the educational systems Of the two coun-
tries, and especially 10 the secularism
q the German and the clericalism of the
French schools Therefore the idea
arose or was sedulously propagated.
that the welfare of the republic de-
pended upon the secula rizatiOn Of the
schools, and a vigorous movement was
organized 10 that end.
Mr.. Tayernier and the Clcricals gen
orally hold that this was a delusion or
a deception and was part OF deeply
laid conspiracy OF free thinkers. Jews
and Freemasons against the Christian
religion. ON the other hand. il has been
declared that Clerical teaching I'm tho
schools was really royalist or imperial
Is: teaching, and that In suppressing il
The republic was simply suppressinc Sc
dition. II will occur 10 most observers
that some color is given 10 this charge
AT the present time by the openly an
nounced coalition between the Clericals
and the monarchisis for the coming
campaign.
Mr.. BRAND now tells the Clericals that
they enjoy the fullest liberty of belief
''and worship, and the clergy never had
''freer exercise OF their prerOgatiyes.
The separation Of Church and State
has given the clergy liberty which
they never enjoyed before" To this the
Clericals reply that just 30 Mr.. Ferry
IN 1879 said 10 them: Teaching by the
religious orders. reduced 10 legitimate
proportions, VIII still continue. You
have complete and absolute liberty
You can found az many UNCONVENTIONAL
schools az you like" And yet, they
point out. since then the UNCONVENTIONAL
schools have been abolished and the
teaching orders have been expelled or
suppressed. OF course. the Republican

CLEANLINESS AND THE TARIFF.

CLEANLINESS AND THE TARIFF.
If cleanliness is indeed next To- gCdli-
ness, what is 10 be the portion of those
who would increase the cost of il by
increasing the cost of soap? That queS-
ton Will arise in the minds Of many if
the Southern resin producers are al
lowed 10 have their way and a recent
decision of the Treasury Department
stands the test Of judicial examination
The producers have induced the Treas
ury officials 10 accept their reading Of
Paragraph ~ IF the tariff act. which
calls for a duty of 10 per cent dd
rGiOrcm and one-quarter of cent
pound on the imported gum. and the
soap manufacturers, who use most of
the imports, are in a state of mind.
Gum resin has been on the free list for
more than a quarter of century and
they claim that as it was free under
the Dingley act il was not the intent
of the Payne act 10 subject il To a duty.
asserting that the new tariff has made
no change in the status of the article
OF course the Southern congressman
and the representatives Of the resin in
dustry are united on their side Of the
case, but no more solidly than are tl-a
big soap manufacturing houses. which
nave appointed a committee 10 look
after their interests. Whatever the
legal outcome of the dispute may be. and
il is practically certain that il Will be
fought out in the courts. the soap max
erS will have a powerful moral infiu-
ence ON their side for there is more
than "A possibility that the increased
cost Of soap following the assessment
OF the proposed duty would be used by
many as an excuse for joining the ranks
of the great unwashed." whose num-
Der Is quite large enough as il is.
