policy means war remains to be proved.The general opinion in Europe seems to be that war between matter what the result of the German elections may be, CLEARING the snow off the roofs of the houses is a-work that should bedone as often as it is needed, and it should be done at the right time.The law provides that the roof clearing shall be done before nine o'clock in the morning, but many householders defer this necessary work until later in the day.much to the inconvenience and danger of police to see that the law is vot violated in this matter, but they are very lax in its performance.They allow careless householders to throw spow on the streets at all hours of the day with impunity.Tt is neither pleasant nor safe for the foot passengers, to avoid the falling snow, to be obliged to turn out every mow and then into the Toad way.The snow too when thrown on the street late in the day cannot be removed by the City Surveyor's men until the next morning, so it has to re

line appear to be in earnest in taking measures for the defence of thelr country.They have The tall talk of their own senators has directed their attention to their defenceless condition.Sensible men both at home and abroad have laughed at tthe war speeches of Senator Ingalls, amd theother bellicose legislators of the (reat Republic, and told them that before they threatened so loudly they owight to see that they were in a position to fight.The contrast between the threats of the senators and the country\u2019s ability to execute them was 40 great and so striking that for very sh.ame sake the Senate was obliged to take measures to put the country into something like a warlike attitude.Although the United States was at peace with every civilized coun try in the world and although there was not the remotest sign of war in any quarter except tive fiery speeches of its own senators on the fishery question, the Senate appmopriated within the last few weeks the: immense sum of $58,- 000,000 for Nation al defence.This appropriation is to lhe distributed as follows: Coast defence hill, providing for steel for ordnance and armor and a zun factory $ Also, fortification A simular bill a pot that the ordnance is for naval p Ten protected storsl eruivers, with f frog, $2,000,000 , to \u2018inerensed speed (Cameron bi} 21,800,000 Floating baterids for cosat defence.gunboads, torpedo boats

ten new.ones just provided for, make a very respectable fleet of nineteen steel war vessels.Besides the armaments mentioned ir the appropriations, the construction of two iron clads been authorized.It will of course take time, and a good deal of it, to carry out the intentions of the Legislaj.ure and to spend the money which har; been appropriated.And, after all is done, it will be by no n8 Œs:rtain, not that the defence will be adequate, but that the ships aud guna and batteries and torpedor:s will be fit to do the work expected Hf them.The performance of the new steel cruisers is not by any means satisfrictory, and the experience of the Amey ican Government in their dealings with contractors lately has not been -eonfidenee -in the strength, durability and general effi- ciesicy of the new works to be under- tal:en.The performances of the new sty:el cruisers are admitted by Mr.Whitney in his report to be disappointing, ind there is too much reason to fear that he vessels and other structures provided .or by the fifty-eight million appropria- \u2018tion will be constructed more with the \u2018view to profit the contractors business of keeping the winter side- \"walks clear
