Tho scries of articles which ?pe Tribune Is now printing in its Sunday edition on " Tho Experience* of a House-Hunter ¦ cannot fail to ¦trike a responsive chord in the boeoin of thou Bands our readers. The problem of living in tho metropolis is a perplexing one for peo¬ ple of moderate incomes. The vexations of one sort or another which they experience in their attempts to solve it they will find sym¬ pathetically touched upon in these articles. ¦written by one of their number from the point of view of experience. If McLaughlin's gang did not have the pros¬ ecuting officers of Brooklyn so tightly in their grip the exposures of the Assembly Committee tn regard to the electric light franchises would certainly cause them serious trouble. Mr. Pope's testimony is most damaging, and was not weak¬ ened yesterday by anything Chief Nevins said. Indeed, when this unhappy official declared that he couldn't find his deposit-book for 1S84 nor hi· return checks, he offered to the public the strongest kind of moral evidence that he was guilty, both of bribe-giving and bribe- taking. It is the seme old trick of every de¬ tected and unmasked wrong-doer.can't re¬ member. And what makes the spectacle more pitiful, is Nevins's ability to remember every¬ thing that he thinks might do him good. It is not quite clear why the Vatican, at this late day, has chosen to protest against the law of Franco which refuses exemption from military service to youths studying to be priests. For at least six years it has been tbe law, and Boulanger really is not responsi ble for it It is part and parcel of the policy laid down by Clemenceau and the anti-religion party of the Republic, which Boulanger is trying to carry out. If it appear later that the Pope has recently found his position so strengthened by friendship with Germany that be is not afraid to cross swords with the French Government to try their strength, no one need be surprised. It is certain that the Vatican's influence in European affairs grows more powerful as these days of tension roll by. Members of tho Manhattan Athletic Club lire not puffed up, being young men of good common sense ; Lut if they possessed los of this most uncommon gift, their excellent ree orde in games might be to them subjects of boasting. As it is, their friends do the lofty talking, and request all doubters to be present at the leading events in which the club will be interested this season. They are not es¬ pecially numerous, as may be seen by the art¬ icle on this subject elsewhere in this impres¬ sion, but they promise capital amateur sport. When the club secures a boat-house, it will be as complete an institution of its kind as there is in America. a The powerful political "pull" which that scandalous prize-fighter and bully, James Dunne, bas upon the authorities of Brooklyn Iras well illustrated yesterday in the ease with which he had bis trial for assaulting Inspector |f cKellar adjourned. It is a fair wager tbat he trill never be more than nominally punished ¿or that crime. Is the first place, poor Mc- Kellar did not prefer the heaviest charge tbat he might have made.that of interfering with .at officer, which is a felony ; be was obliged (apparently under political pressure) to be con- tMat with accusing Donne of simple assault. Probably he will he finally induced to with· draw the charge entirely, and then Dunne can proceed to carry out his threat to kill Muldoon, the property clerk. How long will the decent people or Brooklyn tolerate the performances of this ruffian f ¦ .a ¦ The Emperor of Germany is ninety and Bis¬ marck is seventy-two ; no wonder that specu¬ lation is rife concerning tbe next ruler of the Empire. Will he be the Crown Prince, or Prince William his son ? The probabili ties are discussed in an excellent letter from Berlin printed on the twelfth page of this issue. There was truth, it seems, in tbe report telegraphed to this country some weeks ago that the Crown Prince had a cancer somewhere in his throat. The chances of Prince William's early succession to the throne are thus greatly in¬ creased, and the future of Germany depends upon him perhaps more entirely than upon any other person. He is not a young man of per¬ fection ; but he has intelligence, a strong will, and applies himself severely to bis duties. If he keeps free from entangling alliances in his private life he promises to be just the kind of a ruler his country needs. FISHERIES IN TWO OCEANS. The utterances of tbe State Department respecting tho Alaska fishing grounds aro as ambiguous as a Delphic oracle. Several months ago it was currently reported that the Secretary had informed the American Minister in London that the British sealing vessels seized last summer in Behring Sea had been released, and that damages would- be paid for their de¬ tention. He immediately denied having writ¬ ten any dispatch of this nature ; but the vessels were released, and subsequently tho report that compensation would be made was eemi-official¬ ly confirmed. The Attorney-General was credited in Washington dispatches with assert¬ ing in an official opinion that tho British seal¬ ers were outside the three-mile line, and were therefore well within their rights "according to tho construction the United States Govern¬ ment had always insisted upon.* These contra¬ dictory reports have caused much confusion on both sides of the Northern frontier. Tho Canadian officials have been anxious to ascer¬ tain whether British sealers on the Pacific would be liable to seizure this year, but have not received any responso to their communica¬ tions transmitted through the English Foreign Office The State Department, in explaining tho delay in answering a plain question, now sends out an oracular statement that admits of two opposite interpretations. It professes to be anxious to preserve the exclusivo rights of the united States Government in Behring Sea. and at the same time assumes that there cannot bo two constructions of fisheries law and that any decision reached by the Department must apply equally to Atlantio and Pacific waters. That is equivalent to saying in one breath that tho three-mile rule shall not and that it shall be cnfoiced in Alaskan waters. The Stato Department, wo apprehend, is making a serious mistake in coupling two questions which should be kept entirely dis¬ tinct. Each tub should be allowed to stand on its own bottom. Tho American Govern ment has historical rights in the Canadian fisheries wlhich were recognized in tho Treaty of Peace and subsequently restricted by the Treaty of 1818. Tho three-mile linn is de¬ fined by treaty law, and while the method of measuring it has been constantly disputed, the principio is accepted by both Governments. Tho Russian Government, on the other hand, had historical rights in Behring Sea which the United States acquired by purchase. Those rights aro defined by treaty law, and the three- mi lo rule is excluded. On the Atlantio sea¬ board deep sea fishing throe miles from shore is permitted, while in Behring Sea it is pro¬ hibited. Each arrangement is sanctioned by ticaty law, which admits of a double construc¬ tion. In each caso the Government has only to ground its action upon tho stipulations of tho convention regulating jurisdiction over the waters frequented by fishermen and «caler?». It is not necessary that any position assumed by the Stato Department in this matter should apply equally to Atlantic and Poroifio waters. It will bo a .National misfortuno if Secretary Bayard, for the sake of justifying hin argu ment respecting the deep-sea fisheries on the Atlantio, surrenders the cicchisi vo rights to tho land-locked Behring Sea, which were pur¬ chased from Russia. Tho Czar retains control over one-half of Behring Sea, and will resist any attempt on tho part of other nations to poach upon his preserves. The other half of thoso waters belongs to the United States ; and the prosperity of the seal fisheries, a property of enormous value, is dependent upon tho maintenance of rigid supervision over the land-locked sea. As the British Provinces bor¬ dering on the North Pacific increase in popula¬ tion, tbey cast covetous eye* upon tho North¬ ern fishing ground. Their own fislieriee arc of limited extent. They cannot get seal on their coast and they havo no eoi fisheries worthy of tho name. In Behring Sea they havo the chance of interrupting and ruininjr tbo richest seal-fisheries in the world ; and at the samo time of finding moderately good ood- fishing. Their claims to full maritime rights in that quarter should not bo recognized at Washington._ MEXICAN CIVILIZA TION. Tho accourt« of the first bull fight under the electric light in tho City of Mexico is de¬ cidedly suggestive, but by no means in direc¬ tions flattering to Mexican civilization. That tho first use the electric ligbt should be put to is tho illumination of a bull-fight is a tolerably conclusivo proof of tho slow progress of hu¬ manizing ideas in the sister Republic. Tho bull-fight under any circumstances is so brutal, disgusting, mean and cruel in its every aspect that only barbarians could by any possibility tako pleasure in it. The fact that in Mexico and Spain women as well as men delight in tbe revolting amusement is a much moie trustworthy gauge of the progress of the peo¬ ples concerned than any amount of statistics. It Is not until such savage recreations arc entirely outgrown by the more advanced classes of a nation that it can be said to have fairly emerged from barbarism. Our own ancestors who delighted in bear and bull and cock fight* wore in most respctcts barbarians, and the small remnant that still clings to such "spurts " has no claim to be considered civilized. As tbe effect of tho electric light upon tin· Mexican bulls was to make them abnormally tierce, and as their fury resulted in an unusual number of casualties, killing of horses and wounding of picadors, no doubt the spectators were enraptured,, and concluded that the new illuminant was peculiarly adapted to tlio pur¬ poses of tho arena To say that the sport of the ball-ring is brutal is indeed to libel the brutes, who never indulge in deliberate cruelty. It is only man who is capable of the descent into diaoblism which the deliberate torture of inno¬ cent and helpless animals involves· a kind of cruelty so base and mean tbat one can easily understand why certain sectaries in India re¬ gard the abuse of animals as one of tho cap¬ ital sins, which entails tho sternest and heaviest penalties hereafter. The spectacle of tho head of a State sanctioning by his presence and that of his Cabinet so ghastly a display as the etoctric-lightcd bullfight at the City of Mcx loo was one which the clvili-ed heroes of the Land of Anahuao will some day be heertiij ashamed of, THE CITY'S BRILLIANT FUTURE. The dulneas which characterized the real ostato market for a timo last year has entirely disappeared. There is a wholesome and steady demand, reaching the dimensions almost of a '.boom." Property long considered un- marketable is now easily sold at good figures. The new buildings for which plans were filed during tbe first three months of this year ex¬ ceed in number and value those of any pre¬ ceding quarter in tho history of the city. During tho corresponding period last year 1,079 plans were filed, and tho estimated cost was $17,488,643. This year the plans number 1,421, and the osti mated expenditure is $22.347.170. There wore 722 plans filed for new fiats and tenements at an estimated cost of $13,624,000. Property for rent is in good demand, and the number of outside corpora¬ tions and firms with oiTicos in tho city continao· to increae. In fact, almost every commercial establishment of much Importance in tho conn- try has an office or representative in this city Despite high taxation and misgovcrnment Investors show a preference for city real es¬ tate. This result is in some degree due to tho prosecution of tho "boodle" Aldermen, the punishment of Anarchist Most, and other ex¬ hibitions of the supremacy of tho law. In¬ vestors now have no fear of land confiscations or of mob rulo. Tho city has a strong and well-equipped police force, which has no diffi¬ culty in enforcing the laws whenever so inclined. Mayor Hewitt shows a determination to do his part in that direction, and altogether so far as tho city government is concerned there is hope of improvement. This gives confidence to in¬ vestors in real estate. With bettor rapid tran¬ sit facilities, such as underground railroads, improvement of the water front, modern pave¬ ments and other necessary publio improve¬ ments, together with homes which men of moderate incomes can occupy, Now-York will take her proper place in the highest rank of tho cities of the world. Including Brooklyn apd other suburbs within a few miles of the City Hall, there is now an estimated population of 2,500,000. Who shall say that this popula¬ tion will not reach 4,000,000 before tho end of the century ? ??? TYRASNY OP FASHION. The extent to which fashion controls tho existence of a large proportion of tho modern world is not less interesting than curious. Mr. Tyler, tho learned author of " Primitive Culture," has brought together a mass of fact·* illustrating tho influence of convention upon tho savage mind, or what passes for it But he appears to think that the race has outgrown such weak neis, whereas all tlio evidence to be had points to quito another conclusion. As a rule, wo pay little attention to tho tyranny of fashion. It is when it decrees tho general adoption of some habiliment or practice which is particularly ugly or deforming or opposed t<i hygienic lawn that it becomes a subject of dis cussion. Tho fashions of women change offn¬ er than those of men. and are apt to be more startling. It cannot bo said that UatJ are ninth moro defiant of all the principles of art and common sense, however. The women may go far liefere they exceed in prcpo-itorous- nes-i the male headgear which is vulgarly known as tho "stovepipe" hat, while the masculine garb of festivity, calieri evening dress, is grace¬ less enough to warrant an anthropoid ape in disowning his posterity. Yet lovely woman, it must bo admitted, sometimes contrives to cause more disturbance and troublo by her changes of fashion than it is given to the sterner sex to do. Tho present tell hat*, are In point, and an iho spring and summer styles are evidently i ? tend td to carry the height of theso ama/ing structure* far beyond any elevation yet inflicted upon an anguished tin atro audience during tho winter, tho prospect js anything but cheering. Considering the natural courtesy and self- sacrificing tendencies of women, the injuries this new fashion causes them to inflict upon their innocent and help'ess neighbors must lie regarded as a fitriking proof of the weight ?G tho tytanny under which they suffer. For that is clearly an overmastering influence, which cause·» women to go contrat-,' to all their habit/» and predi lections, to make of themselves offensivo nuisances in public places, and to forget every dictate of tho commonest polite¬ ness and consideration for others. That they should bo made by fashion quite indifferent to tho ridiculous aspect* in which they often pre¬ sent themselves while olicying iU despotic bo- IicsUj, is perhaps not wonderful, seeing that they keep ono another in countenance. Tho profound gravity with which women parade the most astounding deformities, the most aliominablo ugliness of form, color and combination, is Indeed calculated to delight tho philosopher, though it may aggravate and givo point to tho sarcasm of tho oynic. It is alno open to question, from an ethnological and evolutionary point of view, whether tho sur¬ vival in bo robust and vigorous a form of thoso primitivo foibles which characterized tho first emergence of our ancestors fiom tho bar¬ barous condition, does not run counter to the flattering self-estimate of our progress in civilization with which we arc wont to solace ourselves. At bottom, in fact, tbo difference l«-»twoon tho dwellers on the Hudson, tho Thames, the Seine and the Congo perhaps re¬ mains less than wo like to admit. TORNADO CAVES AXD CRUSIIERS. The eminently practical tendencies of the American mind have lieen recently illustratati in two quite original directions. An insurance company of Burlington, Iowa, has offered a reward for the beat plan of a tornado cave, and publishes the prize plan as a first rate ad vertir-ement ; and an inventor has derated a ma¬ chine for employing the principle of the tornado in reducing ores and hard substances generally. The people who inhabit the tornado region are adopting tho cellar refugo quite generally, it having by this time Wen fully realized that no refuge can bo had from those furious storms in any structure which rises above tho ground level. This conclusion once reached, tho next step is to determine what is the best model for tho only kind of retreat available, and so compétition is invited to develop the ideas of architects. The Burlington prize plan has been publisher] by "The llawkeyc." It is not an alluring apartment, and does not ap¬ pear to differ greatly from an ordinar}' cellar save in tho general solidity of its structure. This is made necessary by tho contingency that tho adjoining dwelling may I*· blown over on to tlio cellar, which must tlicrcforo strong enough to bear a heavy weight. The other day a tornado cave was wrecked by cows walking over it. That evidently was not a prizo cave. « At this stage of tlio process of evolution the storm refuge is simple arai crude. But it seems reasonable to expect that with the in¬ crease of population in tho exposed region the aggregate of damage to property from the tornadoes will mount, and that as timo passes tho constant danger will lead mon to risk less aboye ground and geek more shelter beneath the surface. Thus wo may look for the develop¬ ment of subterranean dwellings, and just as the continual danger of explosion in powder mills has resulted in the building of such structures as lightly as possible, so the samo kind of danger may lead to tho disuso of solid materiaLs in the house anchitecture of tho tornado regions. By degrees, too, tbe custom of furnishing above-ground edifices in an expensive way would be abandoned, and as tho underground cave was extended so the employment of tho subterranean apartments for tho keeping of all costly articles, Including furniture, would bo likely to come into favor. Perhaps ultimately something like the Japanese form of domostio architecture might be adopted for all exposed apartmenta, and the enlarged cellarage bo used for continuous winter res¬ idence as well as for purposes of temporary refuge. In this way a new race of Troglodytes would arise, and all manner of modifications in habite and ways of living would follow in duo course. The American inventor, howovor, is not satisfied with protection against tho tornado. Ilo must harness and put tho elemental forces to work. The apparent suocese of tho earliest oxperiment In this direction, as shown In Erastns Wiman's cyclone crusher will no doubt encourage research in this direction. Wc shall have bold investigators setting out to capture the nascent tornado and chain it down before It can develop too much power. Fail- Ing that, perhaps some ono, remembering tho method employed on the prairies for fighting fire, may invent a counter tornado ; an artificial storm to be generated by man and set against the offspring of nature. Should such a plan as this, however, ever be carried out, Mr. Barnum or 9omo of his competitors will be sure to want to add the excitement of a tornado duel to the attractions of the greatest show on earth, for there is no limit to the enterprise of the American showman, as there is none to the temority of the American inventor. Indeed. no ono need be astonished if before another half century has passed somebody does not oomo forward with a patent for applying tho Great American Tornado to National defence by letting it loose upon an enemy either on land or sea. It Is an encouraging sign when public officials give personal attention to the details of the work of their departments. Excise Commissione.

Tho scries of articles which ?pe TribuneIs now printing in its Sunday edition on " ThoExperience* of a House-Hunter ¦ cannot fail to¦trike a responsive chord in the boeoin of thouBands oí our readers. The problem of livingin tho metropolis is a perplexing one for peo¬ple of moderate incomes. The vexations ofone sort or another which they experience intheir attempts to solve it they will find sym¬pathetically touched upon in these articles.¦written by one of their number from the pointof view of experience.

If McLaughlin's gang did not have the pros¬ecuting officers of Brooklyn so tightly in theirgrip the exposures of the Assembly Committeetn regard to the electric light franchises wouldcertainly cause them serious trouble. Mr. Pope'stestimony is most damaging, and was not weak¬ened yesterday by anything Chief Nevins said.Indeed, when this unhappy official declaredthat he couldn't find his deposit-book for 1S84nor hi· return checks, he offered to the publicthe strongest kind of moral evidence that hewas guilty, both of bribe-giving and bribe-taking. It is the seme old trick of every de¬tected and unmasked wrong-doer.can't re¬

member. And what makes the spectacle morepitiful, is Nevins's ability to remember every¬thing that he thinks might do him good.

It is not quite clear why the Vatican, at thislate day, has chosen to protest against thelaw of Franco which refuses exemption frommilitary service to youths studying to bepriests. For at least six years it has beentbe law, and Boulanger really is not responsible for it It is part and parcel of the policylaid down by Clemenceau and the anti-religionparty of the Republic, which Boulanger istrying to carry out. If it appear later thatthe Pope has recently found his position so

strengthened by friendship with Germany thatbe is not afraid to cross swords with theFrench Government to try their strength, noone need be surprised. It is certain that theVatican's influence in European affairs growsmore powerful as these days of tension roll by.Members of tho Manhattan Athletic Club

pecially numerous, as may be seen by the art¬icle on this subject elsewhere in this impres¬sion, but they promise capital amateur sport.When the club secures a boat-house, it will beas complete an institution of its kind as thereis in America.

The powerful political "pull" which thatscandalous prize-fighter and bully, JamesDunne, bas upon the authorities of BrooklynIras well illustrated yesterday in the ease withwhich he had bis trial for assaulting Inspector|fcKellar adjourned. It is a fair wager tbat hetrill never be more than nominally punished¿or that crime. Is the first place, poor Mc-Kellar did not prefer the heaviest charge tbathe might have made.that of interfering with.at officer, which is a felony ; be was obliged(apparently under political pressure) to be con-

tMat with accusing Donne of simple assault.

Probably he will he finally induced to with·draw the charge entirely, and then Dunne can

proceed to carry out his threat to kill Muldoon,the property clerk. How long will the decentpeople or Brooklyn tolerate the performancesof this ruffian f

The Emperor of Germany is ninety and Bis¬marck is seventy-two ; no wonder that specu¬lation is rife concerning tbe next ruler of theEmpire. Will he be the Crown Prince, orPrince William his son ? The probabili ties arediscussed in an excellent letter from Berlinprinted on the twelfth page of this issue. Therewas truth, it seems, in tbe report telegraphedto this country some weeks ago that theCrown Prince had a cancer somewhere in histhroat. The chances of Prince William's earlysuccession to the throne are thus greatly in¬creased, and the future of Germany dependsupon him perhaps more entirely than upon anyother person. He is not a young man of per¬fection ; but he has intelligence, a strong will,and applies himself severely to bis duties. Ifhe keeps free from entangling alliances in hisprivate life he promises to be just the kind ofa ruler his country needs.

FISHERIES IN TWO OCEANS.The utterances of tbe State Department

respecting tho Alaska fishing grounds aro asambiguous as a Delphic oracle. Several monthsago it was currently reported that the Secretaryhad informed the American Minister in Londonthat the British sealing vessels seized lastsummer in Behring Sea had been released,and that damages would- be paid for their de¬tention. He immediately denied having writ¬ten any dispatch of this nature ; but the vesselswere released, and subsequently tho report thatcompensation would be made was eemi-official¬ly confirmed. The Attorney-General wascredited in Washington dispatches with assert¬ing in an official opinion that tho British seal¬ers were outside the three-mile line, and weretherefore well within their rights "accordingto tho construction the United States Govern¬ment had always insisted upon.* These contra¬dictory reports have caused much confusionon both sides of the Northern frontier. ThoCanadian officials have been anxious to ascer¬tain whether British sealers on the Pacificwould be liable to seizure this year, but havenot received any responso to their communica¬tions transmitted through the English ForeignOffice The State Department, in explainingtho delay in answering a plain question, nowsends out an oracular statement that admits oftwo opposite interpretations. It professes tobe anxious to preserve the exclusivo rights ofthe united States Government in Behring Sea.and at the same time assumes that there cannotbo two constructions of fisheries law and thatany decision reached by the Department mustapply equally to Atlantio and Pacific waters.That is equivalent to saying in one breaththat tho three-mile rule shall not and that itshall be cnfoiced in Alaskan waters.The Stato Department, wo apprehend, is

making a serious mistake in coupling twoquestions which should be kept entirely dis¬tinct. Each tub should be allowed to standon its own bottom. Tho American Government has historical rights in the Canadianfisheries wlhich were recognized in tho Treatyof Peace and subsequently restricted by theTreaty of 1818. Tho three-mile linn is de¬fined by treaty law, and while the method ofmeasuring it has been constantly disputed,the principio is accepted by both Governments.Tho Russian Government, on the other hand,had historical rights in Behring Sea which theUnited States acquired by purchase. Thoserights aro defined by treaty law, and the three-milo rule is excluded. On the Atlantio sea¬board deep sea fishing throe miles from shoreis permitted, while in Behring Sea it is pro¬hibited. Each arrangement is sanctioned byticaty law, which admits of a double construc¬tion. In each caso the Government has onlyto ground its action upon tho stipulations oftho convention regulating jurisdiction over thewaters frequented by fishermen and «caler?».It is not necessary that any position assumedby the Stato Department in this matter shouldapply equally to Atlantic and Poroifio waters.

It will bo a .National misfortuno if SecretaryBayard, for the sake of justifying hin argument respecting the deep-sea fisheries on theAtlantio, surrenders the cicchisivo rights totho land-locked Behring Sea, which were pur¬chased from Russia. Tho Czar retains controlover one-half of Behring Sea, and will resistany attempt on tho part of other nations topoach upon his preserves. The other half ofthoso waters belongs to the United States ;and the prosperity of the seal fisheries, a

property of enormous value, is dependent upontho maintenance of rigid supervision over theland-locked sea. As the British Provinces bor¬dering on the North Pacific increase in popula¬tion, tbey cast covetous eye* upon tho North¬ern fishing ground. Their own fislieriee arcof limited extent. They cannot get seal ontheir coast and they havo no eoi fisheriesworthy of tho name. In Behring Sea theyhavo the chance of interrupting and ruininjrtbo richest seal-fisheries in the world ; and atthe samo time of finding moderately good ood-fishing. Their claims to full maritime rightsin that quarter should not bo recognized atWashington._

MEXICAN CIVILIZA TION.Tho accourt« of the first bull fight under

the electric light in tho City of Mexico is de¬cidedly suggestive, but by no means in direc¬tions flattering to Mexican civilization. Thattho first use the electric ligbt should be put tois tho illumination of a bull-fight is a tolerablyconclusivo proof of tho slow progress of hu¬manizing ideas in the sister Republic. Thobull-fight under any circumstances is so brutal,disgusting, mean and cruel in its every aspectthat only barbarians could by any possibilitytako pleasure in it. The fact that in Mexicoand Spain women as well as men delight intbe revolting amusement is a much moietrustworthy gauge of the progress of the peo¬ples concerned than any amount of statistics.It Is not until such savage recreations arc

entirely outgrown by the more advanced classesof a nation that it can be said to have fairlyemerged from barbarism. Our own ancestorswho delighted in bear and bull and cock fight*wore in most respctcts barbarians, and the smallremnant that still clings to such "spurts "

has no claim to be considered civilized.As tbe effect of tho electric light upon tin·

Mexican bulls was to make them abnormallytierce, and as their fury resulted in an unusualnumber of casualties, killing of horses andwounding of picadors, no doubt the spectatorswere enraptured,, and concluded that the newilluminant was peculiarly adapted to tlio pur¬poses of tho arena To say that the sport ofthe ball-ring is brutal is indeed to libel thebrutes, who never indulge in deliberate cruelty.It is only man who is capable of the descent intodiaoblism which the deliberate torture of inno¬cent and helpless animals involves· a kind ofcruelty so base and mean tbat one can easilyunderstand why certain sectaries in India re¬gard the abuse of animals as one of tho cap¬ital sins, which entails tho sternest and heaviestpenalties hereafter. The spectacle of tho headof a State sanctioning by his presence and thatof his Cabinet so ghastly a display as theetoctric-lightcd bullfight at the City of Mcx

loo was one which the clvili-ed heroes of theLand of Anahuao will some day be heertiijashamed of,

THE CITY'S BRILLIANT FUTURE.The dulneas which characterized the real

ostato market for a timo last year has entirelydisappeared. There is a wholesome andsteady demand, reaching the dimensions almostof a '.boom." Property long considered un-marketable is now easily sold at good figures.The new buildings for which plans were filedduring tbe first three months of this year ex¬

ceed in number and value those of any pre¬ceding quarter in tho history of the city.During tho corresponding period last year1,079 plans were filed, and tho estimated costwas $17,488,643. This year the plans number1,421, and the osti mated expenditure is$22.347.170. There wore 722 plans filed fornew fiats and tenements at an estimated costof $13,624,000. Property for rent is in gooddemand, and the number of outside corpora¬tions and firms with oiTicos in tho city continao·to increae. In fact, almost every commercialestablishment of much Importance in tho conn-

try has an office or representative in this cityDespite high taxation and misgovcrnment

Investors show a preference for city real es¬tate. This result is in some degree due to thoprosecution of tho "boodle" Aldermen, thepunishment of Anarchist Most, and other ex¬hibitions of the supremacy of tho law. In¬vestors now have no fear of land confiscationsor of mob rulo. Tho city has a strong andwell-equipped police force, which has no diffi¬culty in enforcing the laws whenever so inclined.Mayor Hewitt shows a determination to do hispart in that direction, and altogether so far astho city government is concerned there is hopeof improvement. This gives confidence to in¬vestors in real estate. With bettor rapid tran¬sit facilities, such as underground railroads,improvement of the water front, modern pave¬ments and other necessary publio improve¬ments, together with homes which men ofmoderate incomes can occupy, Now-York willtake her proper place in the highest rank of thocities of the world. Including Brooklyn apdother suburbs within a few miles of the CityHall, there is now an estimated population of2,500,000. Who shall say that this popula¬tion will not reach 4,000,000 before tho endof the century ?

??? TYRASNY OP FASHION.The extent to which fashion controls tho

existence of a large proportion of tho modernworld is not less interesting than curious.Mr. Tyler, tho learned author of " PrimitiveCulture," has brought together a mass of fact·*illustrating tho influence of convention upontho savage mind, or what passes for it Buthe appears to think that the race has outgrownsuch weak neis, whereas all tlio evidence to behad points to quito another conclusion. Asa rule, wo pay little attention to tho tyrannyof fashion. It is when it decrees tho generaladoption of some habiliment or practice whichis particularly ugly or deforming or opposed t<ihygienic lawn that it becomes a subject of discussion. Tho fashions of women change offn¬er than those of men. and are apt to be more

startling. It cannot bo said that UatJ areninth moro defiant of all the principles of artand common sense, however. The women

may go far liefere they exceed in prcpo-itorous-nes-i the male headgear which is vulgarly knownas tho "stovepipe" hat, while the masculinegarb of festivity, calieri evening dress, is grace¬less enough to warrant an anthropoid ape indisowning his posterity. Yet lovely woman,it must bo admitted, sometimes contrives tocause more disturbance and troublo by herchanges of fashion than it is given to thesterner sex to do.Tho present tell hat*, are In point, and an

iho spring and summer styles are evidentlyi ? tend td to carry the height of theso ama/ingstructure* far beyond any elevation yet inflictedupon an anguished tin atro audience during thowinter, tho prospect js anything but cheering.Considering the natural courtesy and self-sacrificing tendencies of women, the injuriesthis new fashion causes them to inflict upontheir innocent and help'ess neighbors must lieregarded as a fitriking proof of the weight ?Gtho tytanny under which they suffer. Forthat is clearly an overmastering influence,which cause·» women to go contrat-,' to all theirhabit/» and predi lections, to make of themselvesoffensivo nuisances in public places, and toforget every dictate of tho commonest polite¬ness and consideration for others. That theyshould bo made by fashion quite indifferent totho ridiculous aspect* in which they often pre¬sent themselves while olicying iU despotic bo-IicsUj, is perhaps not wonderful, seeing thatthey keep ono another in countenance. Thoprofound gravity with which womenparade the most astounding deformities, themost aliominablo ugliness of form, color andcombination, is Indeed calculated to delighttho philosopher, though it may aggravate andgivo point to tho sarcasm of tho oynic. It isalno open to question, from an ethnological andevolutionary point of view, whether tho sur¬vival in bo robust and vigorous a form of thosoprimitivo foibles which characterized tho firstemergence of our ancestors fiom tho bar¬barous condition, does not run counter tothe flattering self-estimate of our progress incivilization with which we arc wont to solaceourselves. At bottom, in fact, tbo differencel«-»twoon tho dwellers on the Hudson, thoThames, the Seine and the Congo perhaps re¬mains less than wo like to admit.

TORNADO CAVES AXD CRUSIIERS.The eminently practical tendencies of the

American mind have lieen recently illustratatiin two quite original directions. An insurancecompany of Burlington, Iowa, has offered areward for the beat plan of a tornado cave,and publishes the prize plan as a first rate advertir-ement ; and an inventor has derated a ma¬chine for employing the principle of the tornadoin reducing ores and hard substances generally.The people who inhabit the tornado region areadopting tho cellar refugo quite generally, ithaving by this time Wen fully realized thatno refuge can bo had from those furiousstorms in any structure which rises above thoground level. This conclusion once reached,tho next step is to determine what is the bestmodel for tho only kind of retreat available,and so compétition is invited to develop theideas of architects. The Burlington prize planhas been publisher] by "The llawkeyc." It isnot an alluring apartment, and does not ap¬pear to differ greatly from an ordinar}' cellarsave in tho general solidity of its structure.This is made necessary by tho contingencythat tho adjoining dwelling may I*· blownover on to tlio cellar, which must tlicrcforoI» strong enough to bear a heavy weight. Theother day a tornado cave was wrecked by cowswalking over it. That evidently was not aprizo cave. «At this stage of tlio process of evolution the

storm refuge is simple arai crude. But itseems reasonable to expect that with the in¬crease of population in tho exposed regionthe aggregate of damage to property from thetornadoes will mount, and that as timo passestho constant danger will lead mon to risk less

aboye ground and geek more shelter beneath thesurface. Thus wo may look for the develop¬ment of subterranean dwellings, and just asthe continual danger of explosion in powdermills has resulted in the building of suchstructures as lightly as possible, so the samo

kind of danger may lead to tho disuso of solidmateriaLs in the house anchitecture oftho tornado regions. By degrees, too, tbecustom of furnishing above-ground edifices inan expensive way would be abandoned, andas tho underground cave was extended so theemployment of tho subterranean apartmentsfor tho keeping of all costly articles, Includingfurniture, would bo likely to come into favor.Perhaps ultimately something like the Japaneseform of domostio architecture might be adoptedfor all exposed apartmenta, and the enlargedcellarage bo used for continuous winter res¬

idence as well as for purposes of temporaryrefuge. In this way a new race of Troglodyteswould arise, and all manner of modificationsin habite and ways of living would follow induo course.The American inventor, howovor, is not

satisfied with protection against tho tornado.Ilo must harness and put tho elemental forcesto work. The apparent suocese of tho earliestoxperiment In this direction, as shown InErastns Wiman's cyclone crusher will no

doubt encourage research in this direction. Wcshall have bold investigators setting out tocapture the nascent tornado and chain it downbefore It can develop too much power. Fail-Ing that, perhaps some ono, remembering thomethod employed on the prairies for fightingfire, may invent a counter tornado ; an artificialstorm to be generated by man and set againstthe offspring of nature. Should such a planas this, however, ever be carried out, Mr.Barnum or 9omo of his competitors will besure to want to add the excitement of a tornadoduel to the attractions of the greatest show on

earth, for there is no limit to the enterpriseof the American showman, as there is none tothe temority of the American inventor. Indeed.no ono need be astonished if before anotherhalf century has passed somebody does notoomo forward with a patent for applying thoGreat American Tornado to National defenceby letting it loose upon an enemy either on

land or sea.
