socialism if proposed here is accepted as
a matter of course in that highly indi-
TidualiStic country This difference is
due 10 the fact that England all along
kept clearly in mind the duties and OBJ
legations OF a public service corporation,
while the people of this country were
overlooking them. The IDEA that such

The iawlessness that existed III this
country never existed there. From the
first the English authorities watched
with jealous eye 10 see how the rail-

fer which they were created. The result
IS that those who are charged with the
duty Of railroad regulation there can
look upon this country's advance in reg

DITCH TARIFF REVISION.

The Free Trade Congress meets III an
appropriate place and at Il fitting time.
Antwerp is not. indeed. in the Neither
lands. but it is next door TO 1t-qulte
near enough to be point of advantage
from which to view proceedings in the
latter country: and these just now are
,,ucommonly well worthy to be viewed
with all possible attention by that
congress.
Hitherto Holland has ranked among
the few countries of the world which
have practised nominal free trade. 1t Is,
saws The Statesman's Year Book,
free trading country. \ few duties are
levied. but they have only fiscal, not
protectionist, character. Moreover, the
Dutch are proyerbially conservative, and
sudden. inpulsive or unconsidered
changes are not TO be looked for among
them. Yet at this moment they are upon
the verge of a most momentous change
which the congress at Antwerp may not
RELISH, but which 1t must recognize.
Fer some years the sentiment for tariff
reform has been growing and making it,
self felt. but not until the present has
il beer dominant in legislation. The
last general elections, however returned
to each house Of Parliament majority
in favor of tariff reform, and the change
is accordingly about to he effected. A
new tariff bill is being drafted: 1T VIII
ne recommended in the speech from the
throne at the opening Of the new SEES
sion. and there is every reason to ex-
pect its prompt enactment.
This measure will frankly he based
upon the principle of using the tariff
system for the protection and promotion
of the nations industry and commerce
It will enable the government to do
what IT is now quite powerless TO do,
namely. to adopt retaliatory measures
or rates against any country which lin
poses abnormaIly high duties upon inn
ports from Holland. 1t will also more
than double the present revenue from
customs, even without the application
of retaliatory duties. Incidentally, 1t is
to be observed that it will commit the
matter of deciding the duties upon dis
puted articles not to any political func-
tionary. but to d special commission Of
commercial experts
Holland. along with Great Britain, IS
tending away from the improbable
vagaries Of Cobdenism and toward a
prudent and rational fiscal system. With
these two great commercial countries
going over to protection. there comes
truly nathetic note into the echo Of Cob
dens famous and more than cocksure
prophecy, that as certainly as the rising
of the sun the whole world would speed
lily become converted to free trade. If
they break away, who will be left to
maintain the pure faith once delivered
at Manchester?

to keep an almost continuous watch, IN

when large money prizes are TO De
awarded 1t is desirable to have the
trustworthiness of the barometer ascer-
tanned bv competent persons. These can
be found at the central office or the ha'
tional weather bureau. Another pre-
caution which it would be cxped1ent TO
adopt is to lock the case of the lhstro-
ment before a fight, the key being re-
tanned by the judges. Thus the possi-
bilitv of tampering with the instrument
while aIoft would be precluded. Inc
ma iority of aviators who care for their
reputa tons would doubtless be glad TO
have both of these steps taken

NEW RECORD FOR HEIGHT.

Mr.. Drexels aerial performance on
Friday was interesting not merely be-
cause he reached an elevation several
hundred feet greater than that attained
by Broosins few weeks ago, but also
because exceptional means have been
employed for verifying his belief that he
assembled 6,150 feet above sea level. Mr..
Drexel employed barometer to measure
height, but the instrument he used diff
fered in form from the one In favor with
mountain climbers. 1t Is designed auto
matically to register changes in air press

paper especially ruled for the purpose
and mounted on a slowly revolving cyl
inder. Now, barometer which Is per-
fectly accurate where the variations or
pressure do not exceed an inch or so, as
at q weather observatory, might be less
trustworthy where the cnange TO be
recorded is much greater. IT MI
Drexels instrument was carried UP more
than six thousand feet the pressure must
have fallen at least six inches. In order

An interesting novel point in law or
equity is raised through the contention
that throwing eggs is no offence pro-
vided the eggs are fresh AS d rule, we
believe, overripe hen fruit is sought and
preferred by those who pay such deli
cate attentions to the objects of their
dislike, though we should think that
even the freshest of newly laid eggs,
if soundly smashed in an eye, or, indeed,
on any portion of the person, would
give legitimate cause for annoyance.
But if witnesses were to be called to
testify and jurors to decide the precise
degree of freshness or Of staIeness of an
egg after it had been hurled and
smashed-that way madness lies.
