Iv nn article in tho current number of Harper's Monthly to England l'llFl.cs supports the position held by Mr. 11lai:i-- in tho ISehring sea controversy. Mr. Fhk.I-I'- s began di-plomatic negotiations in the contro-versy, and had about induced the I'rit-is- h government to admit the American claims when Canada interfered and caused negotiations to bo broken off. lie is thoroughly informed on every point in the subject under controversy, and the article is said by authorities to be the best on the subject yet pat in print. Besides throwing light on several phases of the qu. stion it should have the effect of silencing the snarling criticism of Mr. Blaine's position by par-tisan democratic papers. The value of the article in silencing such criti-cisms will bo very great. "A nation divided against itself cannot achieve diplomatic success," Mr. Piiki.i-- says, find calls attention to the fact that abroad thu mere suggestion "that the government might he prejudiced in conducting the discussion silences at once the tongues and pens of both par-ties " So long as a part of the press of this country opposes the policy of the administration in the controversy Great wall paper, modelers In clay, brans fin-ishers and so on? They are, v.ith some exception, Europeans. They have horn-ed how to do their work io other conn-trie- s, and como hero to exercise their crafts. Formerly these mora artistic trades could not be, learned in the United Htates. Thin is no longer the case. The industries have beuu established in this country to mull an extent that nearly all of them may be learned by the process of apprenticeship and in the technical Bchools scattered thronnh the country almost every branch of industrial art is taught. But when one day I asked a largo em- -' plover of (skilled stone carvers how many of his men wero American born ho an-swered, "Not ono in ten is American born. "J. E.

Most of the people of Chicago have given up the big ideas that they once had about the exhibition, and even the boomers have grown hoarse. I don't seo how it can bo a iirst cl.iss thing." Such amLsimilar flings are kept stand-ing in the metropolitan papers out of pure spitii. There is no truth in thorn. What dilliculties were experienced in the beginning, however mueh aggravated by boomers, wero due entirely to inexperi-ence. Jt was inevitablo that, wholly new to their work, tho World's lair directors should have made some mis-takes at lirst. Hut we have conlidence enough in thfl enterprise of Chicago to bolieve that her exhibition will be tho largest ever held in any city In the world, ami it ill behooves New York to throw obstacles in the way of this con-summation simply because she failed to get the show. Since the fair has been made a national enterprise it should at least not Immaligned as it is for foreign nations to take notice and perhaps warning of. That is petty work from a petty town, notwithstanding her big size. JK ALOIS MCW YORK. In tho New York Sun of tho 53d we fad the following interview: "I ra over the Chicago exposition," said a Chicagoan yesterday, "and go lire lots of other people in Chicago. Its managers complain of all sorts of Almost everything goes SuME of the mummies already com-plai-that the city council proposes to pave too many sidewalks. As tho prop-erty owners have the right to remoit- - strata, it will be well for tho mummies to leave the matter to tli.tm. Wo can-not have too much paving. QUALITIES OF THE JAPANESE, KUr Kit win Arnold's I'.nthnslasHa Opin-ions of Japanese feupl. As for tho people, I am and always shall be of good St. Francis Xavier's feeling, 'This nation is the delight of my soul." Never have I passed days jnrrre happy, tranquil or rWorative than among Japanese of all classes in the ties, towns and villages of Japan. Pcm--! sibly that is because 1 have had no liess relations with my kind and pleasant Niponese friends, and have never talked very much metaphysics; but it seems certainly nn twy way to keep on the right side of folks to let philosophy and theology alone. Moreover it is, no doubt, necessary for such experiences to go a littlo behind that sort of Japan which you find on the llatobas of Yokohama or Koine, in the Yoihiwaras of those and the other open ports. At very littlo distance from the surface, which we civilizing westerners have done otir best to spoil, will be still discovered the old, changeless, high tempered, generous, simple and sweet mannered Japan of old. I frankly confess it has entirely chann-p- d me; and therefore what I Bay of this Japanese nation, and their manners and customs, must be received with the proper caution attaching to tho language ' of u friend, and even a lover. But where j fl.it! in the world does there exist such conspiracy to be agreeable; such a wide-spread compact to render tho difficult rs of life as smooth and graceful as circumstances admit ; such fair of fine behavior fixed and accepted for nil; such universal restraint of the coarser impulses of speech and act. such pretty pictiiresquenesa of daily existence; such lively love of nature ad tho embellisher of that existenw; bucIi sincere delight in beautiful artiatio things; such frank enjoyment of tho en- - jnyablc; such tenderness to little chil- - dn n; such reverence for parents and old persons; such widespread refinement of t'late and habits; such courtesy to strang-ers; such willingness to please and to be pleased. Sir Edwin Arnold iu Scriluier'a. Iv examining a number of recent business failure the fact obtrudes it-- self that dishonesty in some cases and j culpable mismanagement in many others is largely responsible for them, Sknatou 1'ai.mkk is reported as say-ing that ho would not accept tin) second place on the presidential ticket. The fate of Am.kn (!. Tin 'km as is evidently still fresh in the general's mind. Is Arkansas and Tennessee, the bills appropriating money for the World's fair wero defeated yesterday, and it wasn't because of the Loim.k election bill, either. Salt Laki.'s lire record compares favoralily with that of the most favored city in the country, why should not her insurance rates do the same thing? If anything is to hu done with the Salt Lake stock yards now is the time to do it. Where." is W. C. I!.

Notwithstanding the patriotic prefix to his patronymic, William Hakuishn Mauiin, coiigiessinan from the second diinct of Texas, is not republican in politics. Nor is ho a man of great worldly experience. Indeed when ho lirst came to Washington ho camo very uear making it his last visit by blowing out the gas in his boarding house and narrowly escaping asphyxiation. Vet the Texan has made, a record for him-self which, liourhon and ignorant though he be, many of his colleagues might well imitale. Elected to the fif-tieth congress he succeeded in saving duriiii; the lour years expiring with the tifty-liis- t congress $17,iiiMI out of his sal-ary, with which he returned to his Texas ranch. All tho lima he w as liv-ings littlo better than at home but still, he declares, he kept his expenses within J.10 a month. That is $'.M0() in thefouryears of his servieo which de-ducted from his salary of $','0,000 gives tho amount of his saving. Wo do not know what good Mr. Mahtis accomplished during his two lei ins in congress for his constituents. Probably not much, but in giving this example of modesty and frugality to his colleagues he may have given the start to a needed reform. Not that parsimony is to be commended, bul that the extravagance of the average congressman to keep up false appear-ances is becoming proverbial and in-deed dangerous. Most congressmen spend more than their salary whether they can alTord it or not and the desire to keep up tho deception leads them into temptation. Mr. Maktiv with all his shortcomings is at least honest, hon-est enough not to mako a show of him-self when he is not able to sustain it. Representatives aro elected to represent their constituents in congress and there is no other reason than false pride why they should change their nnulo of life when they reach the capital. Mahtin may blow out the gas, but for all that he is not half tho fool that some mem-bers are who know all about modern illumination. Crab Are Fighter. Crabs particularly aro fighting ani-mals; in fact, they will fight anything. I have seen a crab, in conflict with a lob- - eter, catch tho latter over tho fore part of the head, where tho shell is hardest, and crush it in by ono effort. And it rather bears ont my idea that tho cluws of these creatures are particularly wean- - ons of war; that the moment ono of them receives severe injury in a daw it drops it off by voluntary (imputation, severing its connection with the body at tho shoulder by un act of its own will, It teems to it;o probable that if the claw wero necessary tor feeding nature would rather seek to euro an injury to it than let the animal discard it altogether. The species of crab which is most a fighter is the hermit crab. Its first idea of independent life is to cat a harmless whelk and occupy its shell; its next notion is to give buttle to every crab of tho same persuasion as if self that it comes across. Altogether hermit crabs are undoubtedly tho most quarrelsome creatures in existence. Interview in Washington Star. railva ties. " The highest average speed attained hy S locomotive is ou tin Michigan Central railroad, where tho averagu running f.pced is 4"iJ miles jier hour. Tim International Railway congress, which is to he held in St. Petersburg in ISO?, will ho tho third of the kind, the lirst having liei n held in Brussels a few years ago. W. H. Mills, land agent for the South-ern Pacific railroad, says ho has reliable information that syndicato has been formed for tho purpose of buying up timber lands on tho Pacific coast. Articles of incorporation have been filed in tho recorder's olliee at Lewiston, Ills., for the St. Louis and Northern rail-way. The proposed line runs froni Hock Island to tin) Illinois river opposite Ha-vana. The big locomotives on the New York Central, The Albany Argus says, are to lie abandoned, as they have not proved the success anticipated. Tho West Shore will, it is paid, discard its consolidation engines as fast as worn out. A man named J. L. Cherry has turned tip in Sa Francisco with a scheme to build 1,200 miles of railroad in South America miming from tho Pacific to tho Atlantic ocean. He says that 10,0IKI,(KH) at capital has been subscribed. The New York Central is unable to do much with the track troughs during the winter in supplying tho bigen;,'ines with water. Nearly all of the scoops aro a mass of ice, and tho track tanks freeze over, causing tho n.-s- of water tanks. Tho property of tho Augusta, Talla-hassee and ( IniC railroad has lieen pur- - chased by parties who have organized t lie Carra belle, Tallahassee and Georgia Kailroad company. The road is built a distance of eleven miles, and the new company proposes completing it to the Georgia state line. 1'ilurittlnn la tlie Argentine. There aro two universities, one at Buenos Ayres and oueiit Cordoba, which together counted !Hi:i students in 18!), and delivered 2;i I diplomas, including 81 doctors of law, S3 doctors of medicine, and 11 civil engineers. In the wholo j republic there aro sixteen national col-- j leges, with a teaching corps of 404 pro--' fessors and an attendance in 18'j of 2,59!) pupils. In the capital and tho provinces there are thirty-fiv- o normal schools, with l'.'.O'.' t pupils of both sexes, who beeomt) professors and teachers, chiefly for the primary schools. In Buenos Ayres in 18.il) there were H5 primary schools, directed by 1,57,4 teachers and attended by 0 1,509 children. In tho provinces there were 2,719 pri- -' mary schools, with a teaching staff of 4,5:W and an attendance of 205,1H(5. To resume, the results obtained were .1.0(2 primary cehools, (i,10!5 teachers, 2.VJ.(i95 pupiis, 2,!!7;i primary schooliiouses in tho whole republic.

Bex-Bu- n started work on the Kmitsford hotel there were liuinv people who doubted whether ho was in earnest. The mummies said it was a paper scheme to boom certain real estate. Of course the mummies did notkuow YY'k.n-Iiki.- Hknson. Heing tiorn in Maine ',d not in Mauti and being only SI years old instead of a century, they co'iid not appreciate him at his true value. However he has gone ahead aud within another mouth Salt Lake will have a new aud modern first-clas- s - Jiutel. That it is needed the crowded condition of all the houses in this city even in the winter prove. More than that, thu men identilied with the hotel Interest and who therefore aro most competent to judge the matter, believe that with tho Kmitsford and Teniplcton tho supply will not yet exhaust the de-mand aud the latter, after an existence cf only a few months, finds it already advisable to propose au addition to Its present building. Meantime work on the Ontario hotel has been resumed and it is to be pushed to an early com-pletion. Wo believe that Salt Lake has use for all the hotels now open as well as for those yet to be opened or built. The stream of visitors is setting this way with ever greater volume, and with larger and better aconiniodations the incent-ive for tourists to stop and stay here will' be greatly enhanced. There is no " other point where the beautiful, health ful and unique combine in the same degree, where scenery, climate and. history afford so much that is strik-ing. And that does not include the unrivalled material advantages we offer. AVe expect that during the summer all the hotels will be taxed 1o their utmost as they were last year although we shall have moro of them. There is every reason why eastern peo-ple, whether bent on business or pleas-ure, should come to Salt Lake City. The hotels will help in bringing them here. Si.natok Tki.i.f.ic expresses the belief that the president will sign the silver bill which will inevitably be passed by the next congress, lie goes further and states that the bill will probably pais over the veto if it be votoed. The Col-orado senator is high authority on this subject, aud his confidence iu an early and favorable termination of the light for silver should stir up western people to renewed effort in behalf of the cause. The benelits that would accrue to the people of every section of our country from tho adoption of freo coin-ag-by this governmeut cannot bo esti-mated. It is not at all probable that the mining regions would secure any greater advantages than tho corn and w heat producing regions. In tho ag gregate the benefit to tho latter would be many times larger than those reaped by the silver producers, because their interests aro so much more extensive. But the farmers, as a rule, do not fully understand the im-portance to them of the agitation that is going forward, and it devolves upon the miners whoso interest in tho matter is, perhaps, more direct, to lead the movement. If it bo true that froa coin-age will be secured during the next session of congress, the fact means that tho price of every bushel of wheat and every bushel of corn will soon bo increased. It, means also that the price of every ounce of silver will be advanced at an early day to the coinage figure, that every mine will be increased in value, aud that every foot of real estate in every city between the Alleghanics and the Pacific will be enhanced in value. Particular-ly is this true of such cities as Salt Lake where the effect will first be foil. Adviineo of Vnlilio Sentiment. j As an incident of the woman's suffrage movement, it is impossible to pass over the election of Lady Sandhurst, Miss Jane Cobden and Miss Cons as members of the London county council. As bos- - tile suits are now pending for heavy pen-alties, against the ladies to test their right to sit and vote, it would bo nnbe- - coming here to do more than wish them success in their brave fight. Their pros-- j ence at the council board, their useful work on its ciiinmittees, has already so justified their election that even if the t law bo interpreted Jiostilely against them there is littlo doubt that publio opinion would compel early legislative action iu favor of the right they claim.; Charles Dradlaugh in JJoston Tran- - j script STRAY BITS.
