SUCCESSFUL AIR FLIGHTS.

II marks a substantial and practical
era in the science Of aeronautcs when
it can be announced by the French
Aerial League that lines of dirigible
aIrships to points in various directions
from Paris Will be organized aud Jour
neys in them projected on commercial
lines. If the French have kept up with
the Germans, and especially with Count
Zeppelin, there can be but little doubt
of the success of those trips. so far as
the management Of the airships is con
cerned. Whether there Will be enough

proposed by the French Aerial League,

though it is sure thing that il Count
Zeppelin should start from the highest
point possible for ships, above Spitz-

either.
There is no doubt but the world is
on the eve of tremendous development
in the line Of aerial navigation. Count
Zeppelin, the foremost, is achieving
great results; and other inventors arc
also almost abreast with him; so that

With respect to the news which
comes from Washington that the Sen

The real debate upon the tariff has not

possibility that the debate upon the gen

but that would be so remarkable an
omission that one could hardly con
