St. Mary’s Schoolship.

The schoolship St. Mary’s has be-
come one of the cherished institutions
of New York, says the Recorder. Now
that there is a promise of the revival of
our mercantile marine and a prospect
that the saucy Stars and Stripes may
fly once more at the monkey gaffe of
American clippers as well as at the flag-
st-afl's of great Atlantic liners, every en'-
couragement should be given to the ed-
ucation of young New Yorkers with a
view to qualifying them as officers. The
St. Mary’s has turned out some of the
smartest young officers that ever paced
a quarter-deck or stood a watch on the
bridge of a steamship.~ No cheese-par-
ing policy should be permitted to in-
terfere with the utility of the school-
ship. The sturdy old craft is in need
of repairs and badly wants a new suit
of sails and double topsail yards. There
seems to be a disposition on the part of
the Board of Estimate and Apportion-
ment to behave shabbily. to the ship
and not put her in a condition for a.
winter’s cruise. This policy is wrong.
The American merchant marine should
be fostered, and such grand work as
the St. Mary’s has already accomplish-

ed should be centinued. Of what use '

is it to spoil the ship for the sake of a
h’ap’orth of tar ?

 

 

An Enormous Enterprise.
Steps are at last to be taken to utilize
the great water power of Niagara. A
gigantic tunnel, beginning a mile and
a half above the Falls and extending to
the water level below, has been bored

through the solid rock 160 feet below .

the surface. A canal brings the water
to the mouth of a pit which leads down
to the tunnel, At the bottom of the pit
tremendous turbine water wheels are
placed, by means of which the head
power of the water is utilized. The tun-
nel serves as the tail race through
which the water escapes after it has
done its work.

The proposition is to furnish power
for shops and factories whose output
will be equal to that of fourteen of our
largest mill cities in the United States
—and then 96 per cent. of the power
available will remain unutilized. In ad-
dition to all this, it is expected that
power can be conveyed to Buffalo,
eighteen miles distant, sufficient for all
electrical and manufacturing purposes
for that city. ,

.The enterprise is controlled by New
York capitalists, but the stockholders
are representative men from all parts
of the country. There is no doubt of
the success of the Company, which will
soon make of the country between Buf-
falo and the Falls the largest manufac-
turing center in the United States.

Things to be Remembered.

While the Democratic leaders are
making up their minds as to whether
they will give the people the tariff re-
form for which the latter have asked
in unmistakable terms, they must not
forget that the country has of late
years adopted a good, strong, vigorous
foreign policy with which it will be
well for them to get in line.

Reformation of the "tariff is a ques-
tion of domestic policy. \The Demo-
cratic party has for the last quarter of a
century proclaimed itself the champion
and exponent _of reform, and at last
the people have determined to give it a
trial, says the Washington Post. It is
for that party'to decide whether it will»
redeem its promises by prompt and
effective action, or discredit itself by
faint-hear ted procrastination. But the
matter of our foreign policy rises above
party politics. It involves national
sentiment, national dignityand honor.
Democrats joined with Republicans in
applauding the firmness and wisdom,
and courage with which Mr; Harrison
asserted the country’s manhood in the
Chili'an affair, the Bering Sea affair,
and in the various complications with
our cantankerous neighbor beyond the
lakes. No President and no party, no
matter by what overwhelming major-
ity installed in place and power, can
afford to ignore the profOund and pas-
sionate feeling of the nation in that
respect.

Mr. Cleveland’s administration will
find much work that is both delicate
and momentous awaiting it. Affairs in
Samoa are not satisfactory. Germany’s
course in that part of the world has in-
volved us in distateful and unwelcome
entanglements; and has borne its legit-
imate fruit in the shape of most disas-
trous conditions among the people
themselves. The United States should
see that the islands are free from the
tyranny and avarice of foreign pow.
ers and reinstated in their autonomy.
In Hawaii we have great interests at
stake. Foreign intrigue, '- foreign
greed, and foreign schemes of seizure
and appropriation are at work there a1-

 

 

; so, this time in the person of Great -
Britain.

,. The success of those schemes
will mean not only'the subjection of a
’ helpless people, but the serious if not

 

’;.the permanent destruction of our ”com.

 

mercial and political influence in the
Pacific. The United States should
interpose a stern and emphatic veto
there, also. And finally our patience

has been well nigh exhausted by the

persistent unfriendliness andunfairness
of Canada at almost every point of con-
tact between the two governments.
Our treaty rights have been flagrantly
violated in the matter of canal tolls, if
not in other and more serious respects,
and generally and in all directions we
have encountered theisullen, deep-seat-
ed, and scarcely veiled hostility of the
Deminion. Mr. Harrison is fully war-
ranted in dwelling on this topic, and in
intimating that . a satisfactory adjust-
ment of our relations with Canada will
require the most vigorous measures.

These are considerations of which
the incoming government should not
lose sight. The people might overlook
a little delay in the reformation of our
domestic and economic policy, but
they will not, and they should not, for-
give the very smallest compromise of
our national dignity before the outside
world.

A gossip in the New York Evening
Post tells this story of the cause of the
rupture between Mr. Gladstone and
Mr. Chamberlain: At the commence-
ment of the campai n of 1885 Mr.
Chamberlain actually ad the audacity
to go to Mr. Gladstone and tell him
that he was really too old to lead the
party, and that it was for .the best in-
terests of the party that he should fie-

r.
Chamberlain must have required all the
splendid andacity and coolness with
which he 18 credited to .make .such a
request as this. Art-indignant and con-
temptuous refusal, coupled with the
answer that he would suit the conven-
ience of his party, not ~‘Mr. Chamber-
lain, was Gladstone’s answer..-

VOTED TO PAY.

All Informal Meeting Of Masons.

A Subscription Taken Up.

 

At an informal meeting of some twen-
tLV-five members ofthe late St. John’s

odgo held last night in the ante-room,
Worshipful Master Mead called the
brethren to order. and Mr. B. W.“Ma-
pies was placed in the_ chair, and
Charles E. Tucker chosen secretary.
The question of paying Old Well Lodge
its claim of $192 was discussed at length
and a vote taken, which resulted five
for to five against. A second vote fol-
lowed and was also a tie, seven to sev-
en. Then Mr. Maples expressed the
opinion that it would be wisest to pay
the claim and extinguish that part
of the lodge’s difficulty and so cast his
vote in its favor and" thus it was carried
eight to seven. He also handed Mr.
Mead $10 as his share of the assessment

.and some forty dollars in all, were sub-

scribed on the spot. Secretary Tucker
was then authorized to circulate a sub-
scription paper among absent members
to collect the full amount. This action
is viewed variously by different Masons.

OPERA HOUSE.

Mrs: Lester Franklin, formerly
known as Lillian D’Alve of the cele-
brated D’Alve Sisters, who’s records
show them in the past to have been un-
der such managers as Col. Sinn, Harry
Miner, Tony Pastor, Harry Williams,
Wm. Emmet, Daniel Shelby, John
Stetson and other first-class managers,
is now making a decided hit at every
performance of “Right Side Up,”
says the Dramatic News. Her acting
and singing in the part of Posy Blow-
hard is delightful and so natural that
one actually forgets being in a theatre;
her every move is grace itself, her
voice melodious and her face full of
expression. . We congratulate Mr.
Franklin, whom we have known for
the most versatile
American actors, upon his good for-
tune in winning so clever a help-mate.

"Right Side Up” will be at the N or-
walk Opera House next Monday even-
ing.

MUSIC HALL.

The old-time crowd was on hand
last night to witness “A Cold Day, or
the Laplanders,,’ a musical comedy in
which Messrs. Fisher and Sheehan ap-
pear and extract much fun. Perkins
D. Fisher makes a very comical Dutch-
man, as Jacob Blow, and John Shee-
han as his partner, Able Effort, keep
the audience in a roar while they are
on the stage. The play does not lay
much claim to any plot but has been

' written to give the company a chance

to make the audience laugh. The
action of the play is at Long Branch,
aboarda steamer at sea. During the
play, the Misses Carlotta, Marcelles,
and Haynes, and the male members of
the company, sang a number of popu-
lar songs, amon which ale “Put on
Your Bridal Veil,” “Chicken Pie,"
and numbers of the “Mikado” and
“Adonis”. Miss Carlotta also intro-
duces her specialty, “I’m so Shy.” “A
Cold Day” is altogether one of the
funniest plays of the season, says the
Pittsburg Leader.

Next Tuesday evening at Music Hall
our people will have a chance to wit-
ness the above production.

The Senatorship.

Governor Bulkeley has never yet led
his party to defeat. He is in touch
with the people, and knows what they
want. He has the genius of success,
the statesmanship of vigorous action.
If the Republican party ever needed
that quality in their public men they
need it to-day, when the country at
large is strewn with the wreckage of
the storm aroused by the fatuouser-
rors of some of our national leaders.
It is perfectly manifest that this state
is drifting hopelessly into the Demo-
cratic column unless leadership of an
aggressive type. is obtained from some
source. The time has come when the
Republican party must build on its
younger and progressive element and
send to the front leaders who are of
this type.——Willimautic Journal.

The Cause of Rheumatism.

An acid which exists in sour milk and
cider, called lactic acid, is believed by
physicians to be the cause of rheuma-
tism. Accumulating in the blood, it
attacks the fibrous tissues in the joints,
and causes agonizing pains. What is
needed is a remedy to neutralize the
acid, and to so invigorate the kidneys
and liver that all waste will be carried
off. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is heartily
recommended by manv whom it has
cured of rheumatism. t possesses just
the desired qualities, and so thorough-
ly purifies the blood as to prevent oc-
currence of rheumatic attacks. We
suggest a trial of Hood’s Sarsaparilla
by all who sufi'er from rheumatism.

Fire Alarm Boxes.

Superintendent Hoyt of the fire
alarm system, accompanied by A. Chin-
ery chairman of the fire committee,
tested the fire alarm boxes yesterday,
and found box 36, (near the armory,)
and box 56. (at the corner of Main
street and North avenue.) out of order.
They were taken down for repairs.
They are known as the “new” or Stev-
ens boxes, and there are five of them.
It is almost invariably the case that
when there is trouble with a box it' is
found to be with one of these five box-
es. The Gamewell boxes give excellent
satisfaction.
