Between that measure and the law which My, Cleveland declared to be an act of perfidy and dishonor and would not sign there is almost as wide a gulf as between the isting law and the republican tariff act of 1800, under which there w unprece: dented pro ty until the election of a democratic president and congr on a platform declaring protection to be unconstitutiol and demanding its abandonment, alarmed the industrial in terests of the count and precipitated a panie. The existing tariff law, as the lowa platform declares, is not a measure which the republican party would her, but with all its nlts and defects it is less harmful to the country and to the national treasury than the Wilson bill would have been. The democratic Cincinnati Enquirer pointedly says: he men who were rampant for the Wilson bill and hotly indignant at the amendments are not entitled to wear feathers in their hats and earry banners in the est-home procession of this year.” Let it be candidly admitted that some recovery from industrial and business depression would doubtless have taken place in any cvent, but it is equally certain that had the congressional ele tions of last year not returned a ma jority of republicans there would be no such improvement as has taken place during the past six months of those elections, evidencing the most sweeping change of sentiment in the history of American politics, not only led o halt to the free trade move- ment, but demonstrated that a vast majority of American voters believe in the policy of protection and intend that it shall be maintained. Just as two years before democratic success w almost immedintely followed by the ecurtail ment of industrial activity, the re- publican victory in 1804, carrying reas- surance to all the business interests of the country, was in a brief time fol lowed by a vesumption of industrial activity, and the fact that improvement is going steadily forward is in no small degree due to the general belief that a republican president and congress will be elected next year, of o of | Bee | i | to A i | om othi classes | ot 1 | | an tha ives | be cas sho deo nes ever abo to ¢ you citk the pro senate tari Ro be Wi mo and Cu THE BUSTIS EPISOL There will be no disturbance of the friendly relations subsisting between Spain and the United States in conse quence of the remarks attributed to Am- bassador Tustis by a French paper. The Spanish authorities are understood to be entirely satisfied with the expla nation given by the American minister at Madrid, which was accompanied by the assurance of the friendly attitude the United States toward Spain. The remark ascribed to our ambassador to IPrance, to which the Spanish authori- ties took exception, was to the effect that the sympathies of the American people are in favor of the Cuban insur- gents, who find in the United States, without the knowledge of the govern- ment, assistance of Kind. M. Bustis denies having said any such thing, but he might have done so with entire truthfulness, and if he did not the writer of the interview in Figaro, with whowm he admits having held a conversation, is astonishing well in formed for a European journalist as to American sentiment regarding the men who are fighting for Cuban independ- ence. It seems hardly edible that the representative of a French paper would put in the mouth of the American nm- , who had honored him with an andience, a statement so accurately representing American feeling unless he had been given a substantial basis for it. It is said that the *“boulevard press” of s is especially addieted to mendacity and that Pigaro is the worst of the lot in this respect. It is also said that th papers have a particular fondness for misrepresenting foreign ministers and fabricating interviews with them. This is doubtless all true, | but when a paper so truthfully states a fact as in the case of the purported interview with Ambassador Eustis it is not easy to believe that it is pure fab- rieation. The incident is not of jons im- portance, but it may be of value in su ting to other diplomatie representa tives of the United States the wisdom and expediency of “not talking with verybody they meet on matters affect- ing the international relations of their country. As to Mr, Eustis, the lesson will undoubtedly be a useful one. Here- after, it is to be presumed, he will con fine his unofficlal talk to commonplace affairs and not attempt to air his opin ions about matters of an international character. It must be very humi to him to have been thus entrapped by a designing French newspaper man, Tt )E, In Tr eve every the the sel in tro in ref 1 Ro ! tric the o con fac in | me has been suggested that if the State de partment were to begin in the French courts the npecessary sweps (o hola l be t of all that | Bee has rec will main offices to be filled by forelgn-born men of whom are Catholies. false Y vantage. plans offices.

It Is certainly a large eclectorate to be canvassed, rallied, fired with party fervor and polled all in twelve working days. A striking pecu liarity of the pending general election is the large variety of small parties or factions which are seeking to establish themselves as independent groups, recognizing no al- legiance to either great party. Manifestoes have been issued by the National Reform unfon, which repudiates Rosebery's leader- ship as too moderate and demands sweeping reforms, of which the abolition of the House of Lords is a leading feature; also by the Welsh nationalists, the local option- ists, the Publicans’ assoclation, social ists, the Agricultural union, the independent | labor party and by two antagonistic sections of the Irish home rulers The labor department of the British Board of Trade has issued a report on the employ- ment of women and girls, which sets forth that in Great Britaln women compete less with men than ever they did. There has been an increase in the actual number of wemen employed in the trades and other oc- cupations, but that Increase has been pro- portionately much less than in the case of men and boys. Statistics of several trades and other employments are given to prove these conclusions, as in the employment of clerks of various kinds it is shown that while the increase among male employes has been at the rate of 272 per each 100, 000, among women and girls the Increase has been only ninety-six to the same num- ber. These figures cover the decade 1881- 1891, There is not a single trade wherein the employment of women has increased faster than that of men, and where the number of male employes has fallen off the number of females has fallen off in practically the same proportion. The reason given for this state of things is that as the earning power of men increases they usually pre- fer to keep their wives and daughters at home, but whether this be the reason or not there seems to be little room for doubt- ing the fact. conven- o Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria appears to be playing a double game in connection with the disturbances in Macedonia. That, at any rate, the impre which has been created throughout Europe by his suspicious behavior in connection with the matter during the last three months. It would be difficult to con ceive a more insane policy and one which i more calculated to result in disaster for him- self and his principality. He cccuples an anomalous position, international treaty stipu lations standing in the way of his official recognition by the powers. The illegality of his situation has been tolerated so long as it was manifest that Bulgaria, which may be re- garded as the offspring of the international congress of 1878, was prospering under his rule, and so long as it was seen that his presence at Sofla constituted a guarantee of peace and honest government. Since Stambu- loff, however, who was for 8o long his mentor, has been ousted from office, the country has been rapidly drifting into insolvency, its progress has been arrested, and Sofia seems to be developing into a source of intrigue, disturbance and conflict—a crater, in fact, of the everlasting and troublesome eastern ques- tlon, which has been the cause of so many sanguinary wars. Prince Ferdinand's unde- niable encouragement of the risings against Turkish rule in Macedonia—bands of armed Bulgars crossing the frontier at numerous points to asist the insurgents—is attributable, of course, to his anxiety to please the czar's government, which has hitherto constituted the principal cbstzcle to his recozni:ion by the powers, That Russta is interested in these risings is clear from the summons to St. Petersburg of all the chief Muscovite consuls in Macedonia for the purpose of receiving the fullest kind of instructions from Prince Loba- noff himeelf, and likewise {rom the tone of the Pan-Slavist press at Moscow and on the banks of the Neva. 15 sion e It is evident that the international geo- graphical congress, which will meet in London on the 26th inst., will provide many features of popular as well as scientific interest. Among them will be a serles of maps showing the development of English cartography from the earliest period. There will also be an interesting series of portraits of explorers and geographers from the thirteenth and four- teenth centuries down to the present day. Mr. Ravenstein is constructing a serles of globes which will show the progress of the knowl- edge of the earth's surface from the remotest historical period. The cartographic depart- ment will contain some very rare and inter- esting old maps and other geographical curios- ities. The pictorial department will contain a very large collection of photographs and pic tures representing types of scenery in all parts of the world. A large special building has been erected in which to arrange the instruments which will form an important part of the exhibition. Besides a complete collection of the most recent instruments employed for various geographical purposes there will be an historical series showing the forms of Instruments used at various periods. In this department also will be arranged sam ples of travelers' equipments, including com- pletely furnished tents and other objects of interest. Exhibits are arriving from all parts of the world, and altogether the meeting promises to be exceedingly successful. Iy A speech delivered in the Austrian Reichs- rath, during the debate upon eastern affairs, by Prof. Suess, a prominent political econo- mist, Is attracting a good deal of attention. After speaking of varlous commercial crises and their causes, and the general advantages of a liberal policy, he proceeded to say that whenever eastern Asla was opened up to trade the war would be no longer against agricultural products, but against manufac- tured goods, and the struggle would be { carried on by the two empires, comprising a population of 500,000,000, The importance of the treaty of Shimonoseki did not lie in its territorial conquests, but In its moral consequences.

St. Louls Globe-Democrat It is a surprising fact, stated by Mr. Joseph Choate in a recent address, that Eng- | land, with her 80,000,000 of people in round numbers, does not have so many judges to | attend to her legal controversies as any onc of our larger states. She finds thirty-two of the first cl ample for all her wants, while New York has 140, and Iilinois 178, | There is not so much litigation in England | as in our country, to be sure; but the fact | remains, after making all proper allowance | in this respect, that our supply of judges is excessive by comparison, and that the courts over there dispose of cases more rapidly than those of the United States. The explanation lies largely in the complicated nature of our Jjudicial machinery, the fa- cilities afforded for appeals and new trials, and the indulgence granted to lawyers who make it their business to delay and defeat justice. We boast of the practical way in which we do things, and yet our laws and forms of legal practice are such that it is impossible to secure a prompt devision In any case where it is to the interest of either party to prolong the proceedings. In the enforcement of an ordinary contract, whe there is really no dispute about the fact, the final result is often unveasonably post- poned, and the costs thereby unnecessarily | increased The truth is that in our anxiety to pro- vide ample means for the adjustment of legal difficulties, we have made our judicial system a source of endless trifling with the interests of the people. Our multiplicity of statutes is directly_conducive to litigation, and the courts attach so much importan to precedents and technicalities that the law yers can keep a case in course of trial al- most as long as they please. In England, where there is supposed to be much more formality than in the United States, the ordinary practice is far less slow and un- cortain than that which prevails here. We have so many judges and so many different tribunals that a case may be taken from one to another on various pretexts, and the expense is apt to exceed the amount involved in a majority of cases. There is certainly great need of reform in this matter. It should be easier for the average citizen to obtain a decision from some court of full and final jurisdiction, which is to say that it should not be so easy for the lawyers to protract all sorts of lawsuits. Too many | of our courts exist solely for the purpose of giving solemn and leisurzly consideration to technical and unimportunt pleas. The whole system ought to be simplified, in short, with a view to saving time and money by removing all chances for cases to be con tinued and transferred except for sound and conclusive reason 2 tled.
