Bkitish statesmen are evidently very •earnest in their endeavors to stop short the ruinous practice of catching seals in Behring sea during tlie propagating sea son. Only prompt measures can prove effective, and the United States should act with equal expedition in doing a fair share. * Tins New York World says; ‘‘College boys who ‘'cannot get along without a wine closet are reserving no pleasures for middle life and are using premature ly the staff and comfort of old age." The World may be right, but even the World can’t turn modern American life hind end foremost. Geoiiqe W.

The baccarat scandal brought to light one man in England who is not afraid to treat the Prince of Wales as he would any other man under tlio circumstances. Sir Edward Clarke's speech beforo tlie jury developed the fact that lie is not afraid to defend bis client against tlie whole of the royal family, and tlio peo ple of the British empire will admire him for his pluck. The stolid London Times is “almost' humorous when it says; “\Ye almost wish the Prince of Wales had also signed a declaration that he would never touch a card again.” “Almost wish” is deuced funny, ydr know. Doubtless, good Queen Victoria and the honest masses of the English people do not “almost," but sincerely, wish the heir apparent would sweaf off from baccarat and wine.

Here was one which, from the opening of the lir.-.t act at Trauby Croft to the fall of the curtain at the altar, teemed with un usual incidents and denouements. Actually touching the greatest throne the son ever shone upon and, on the other hand, embracing the citizen from the plainest walks, the drama was a picture of royal life such as those out side of it rarely get’a gUtnpse of. The progress of this drama, too,was watched attentively by au audience as large a* the Euglish reading word Of all the interesting features the most striking was the final climax—the marriage following the verdict which pronounced the plaintiff guilty and not entitled to recover damages against the defendants, who said tiiat lie had cheat- on at cards and proved it. Miss Garner is not declared to be au adventuress and it is taken for granted that she is a true woman. Her faith in Sir Gordon was steadfast and not to be shaken. Though the world must be lieve him to be a dishonorable man, she w ho loves him says that he is innocent and she prefers to ‘•Walk by Ills aide an outcast—live upon the light o! on-; kind smile from hi » — ihau wear the crown the Bourbon lost.” The case has few parallels either in literature or life. Woman braves pover ty for the divine passion a thousand times every day, but if slitf has not lost the appreciation of honor she shrinks from dishonorable association. In life, instances occasionally occur where a cultured, impulsive girl elopes with a coachman, and au intelligent but erratic woman weds a condemned murderer.In novels, knights and heroes constantly seek out poor maidens, but ladies of high position seldom woo an ostracized man. Elaine would not have had so much as a headache for one of her father’s curls, though she died heart broken for Sir Lancelot. As the bee upon the flower, so hung Pauline upon the honey of “Prince” Melnotte’s eloquent tongue, but her blood froze in her veins, she said, when she discovered that In was a gardner’s son. True, Leonora was devoted to her gypsy Manrico but that is in opera, and song does not count in a question of this kind. Poor, patient Griseldis was wooed by a knightly lover, but if their posi tions had been reversed, she would not have taken notice of his virtues. And thore is the case of Camille. Suppose she had been a lady of rank? Old Boo- caccio has a story—but we’ll let that go. Be iky Sharp would not have mar ried Sir Gordon Comming—after he was convicted of cheating. C’himene married the wooer who killed her father in a duel, but slie could not bring herself to do so for a long time. Lalla Rookli did not know she was fall ing in lovo with a real prince, but she did know be was a charming young fellow. Dido said that the mind pro claims the man. She liked .Eneas be cause he was noble and heroic, and she thought honorable. Had she believed that he would ring in loaded dice in a game, she would no more have esteemed him than she did after he jilted her. Desdeniona loved Othello for the dan gers he had passed. Romola tfould have scorned.Tito from the first had she sus pected that he would care nothing for her father's wishes about the library. But search literature and you tiud few’ instances where women have been so brave as to link themselves to a man dis honored before tlie world. A woman can not raise a man bv marrying him. She goes down to his level. She can rise to her husband's but, however, noble and true she may be, she can not raise a man to her position. Miss Garner sacrifices a brilliant life for love of a man who is disgraced. Per haps the secret of her affection was pity, which, “of all the paths that lead to woman’s love,” is said to be the Ktraightest. leeply , and been | implanted in the breast *: <i liberty- when the loving people which c.tu-.es them in thunder stiuctively to sympathize with any pe» - ith its caressing pie that is struggling against oppression. It is difficult to understand the merits of the civil war in Chili, but is well under stood that one party is led by the mili tary dictator, Balinaceda, while the other supports the Chilian congress. One one side is the executive branch of the government and on the other the legislative. The congress is certainly streets as a \ curding to tl woi k was no The peoph but a faint c< that exists ii the sacre ! the frost, or drouth, or the rain, or the ,ew.

Vet the congressional ists are recognized at Washington as insurgents or rebels, and are treated as such. Is it right that our government should assume such an atti tude? Balmaceda’s attitude toward the Chil ian congress seems to have been much like that which Andrew Johnson as sumed toward our congress soon after his accession to power, one of stubborn opposition. Johnson intimated that, being general in chief, as lie was nom inally, of the United .states army, it lay in his power to proclaim himself dicta tor and dissolve congress. If he had possessed tlie boldness of Balinaceda, and if he had had sirch people as the Chilians to deal with, we should proba bly have seen our country torn asunder again. Johnson might have had the support of his cabinet, and might have controlled the treasury, and a portion of the army and navy might have ported him. But the majority of the people would have adhered to congress and the nation would aiway thought hard of any foreign power that might have treated the congressional party as insurgents and given aid and comfort to the usurper Johnson. This suppositious case may not be al together analogous to the situation In Chili, but if the conflict lies between adherents of congress on the one hand aud those of au arrogant president on the other, as Is manifestly the case, the people of the United States will no countenance any overt acts on the part of our government expressive of sympa thy with Balinaceda. The Harrison ad ministration is trying to make the peo ple believe that it Is wedded to a bold foreign policy by its bullragging of other nations, but it is careful not to venture beyond the danger lines. The affair with Chili will for the present cost little more than the coal fmsumed by tho Charleston, but it will give rise to a desire for retaliation on tlio part of the Chilians which may cost this country dear in the future. It must appear somowhat ridiculous to foreign nations that one of our best war ships—one of our boasted fast cruisers— should have been dispatched four thous and miles after a Chilian supply ship, and then should have failed to overtake her. It Is generally regarded abroad as an ostentatious display of our newly ac quired naval strength. That a Chilian vessel should have been loaded with military supplies at San Diego, and should have made good her escape, while the Charleston was lying at San Francisco, was calculated to cast re- proaoh on our government-for its laok of vigilance, but in pursuing the escaped vessel four thousand miles over the high seas it has displayed a ridiculous excess of energy. The affair will probably lead to no good result, while It will increase the ill will towards the United States which has long been manifest in Chili. According to a brief but excited dis patch from Albany a blast of gigantic proportions will take place at Callahan’s New York quarries at South Bethlehem next Tuesday that will give the whole state a shaking up. About 5,00) pounds of dynamite are to be used. This will be distributed in ffOO cartridges, which will bo placed in 150 holes bored in the rock. That is perhaps the greatest quautity of dynamite that has ever been exploded at one time. Caps that were made in Germany will cover the cart ridges and will be connected with a dy namo by heavy copper wire three miles long. An agent of Edison is to be in charge of the explosion. Just what all this is for is not stated. Possibly it may be intended to give the next hope ful Hill boom a great scud off.

Another monument to the Confederate dead was erected Wednesday at Fred- ericksbtirg and thousands of officers and veterans of the lost cause were present and participated in the ceremonies at tending the unveiling, and a number of eloquent and patriotic speeches were de livered. The southern people are erect ing more monuments to their dead than those of the north, and w’e suppose that this is the reason why Harper’s Weekly is disposed to utter a protest against the action of the south in honoring its dead. It does not want to see a monu ment to the memory of Jefferson Davis, and declares that if oue is built that the monuments to Grant and Lincoln should be overthrown. Harper's Weekly may as well understand now as any other time that in the matter of monument build ing in the south its wishes will not be consulted for the oest of reasons, and that is, it is none of its business. If the people of the north see ftt to pull down tlie monuments erected to the memory of their leaders they can do so, but we of the south, as the Atlanta Constitu tion aptly remarks, intend to put up monuments to our dead from one end of the southland to tlie other, and the grandest monument of them all will be erected to perpetuate the memory of Jefferson Davis, the great chieftain of the Confederacy. voudoo rites as do the savages of Africa, ful, fragrant and refreshing, and their general condition would be I The Times-Ukc order takes pleasure tiiat of African savages, but for the fact j In recounting these facts.

As to the political condition of Hayti, it seems that matters have reached such a pass that enlightened nations should interfere, even if they have to subjugate the island, or that portion of it that is controlled by the blacks. It is now in a condition little better than that of the interior of Africa, which has been so cooly appropriated by European coun tries. As tho United States lias had no slillre in the partitioning of Africa, it is no more than her due that she should be allowed to take possession of Hayti. That would put a stop to the barbarous practices now witnessed there. The civilizing of barbarous countries is the manifest mission of the white race Hayti has become a reproach .to the civilizing tendency of the age. Let the United States send a white minister to Hayti, then acquire by purchase that long desired coaling station, and then the whole island can be brought umier our control and civilization restored to it. editor, who may be put to tlie painful necessity of accepting John Smith’s last two years’ arrearage of subscription in a cartload of melons that lie can never hope to devour. But as for the rest of us. we are proud that the watermelon is an American product and that we are vouchsafed the common privilege of en joying one occasionally. ANOTHER RICHMOND IN THE FIELD The politic^} situation in the west is getting n^xed as time goes on, and it now appears that in Ohio the prohibi tionists are about to joinTiands with the third party people and to support their platform. In that state the talk among tlie prohibitionists shows that* they are In favor of uniting with the farmers on a farmers’ and labor platform, but in Iowa the prohibitionists liaye nominated a state ticket and demand the free and unlimited coinage of silver, the Austin lian ballot system and the abolishment of tho internal revenue system,- as the object of it is to encourage the liquor trffic. Up in Minnesota a new party has been sprung which calls itself the national association, tho purpose of which is to better the condition of citizens in public and private life. Forty canvassers are to be sent out into the state immediate ly, and the leaders of the latest political outfit declare that/hey will have things in such shape as to enable them to nom inate a presidential ticket next year. The indications are that there will be a large crop of cranks in the campaign of 1892, and tiiat their stamping grounds will be the western states. THE SPLIT IN OHIO. Prominent leaders of the democracy have reason to be alarmed at the hostile attitude of the Cincinnati democrats to wards Governor Campbell. It appears •that Johnny M’Lean, of tlio Enquirer, who is at the head of the Cincinnati fac tion, is leading the opposition to Camp bell, aud, as he is an unscrupulous poli tician, the general impression is, that if he fails to prevent the nomination of Campbell in the convention, he and his gang will try to defeat him at the polls. The leaders of the democratic party feel satisfied that if the party can be united McKinley will be de feated this fall, but up to the present time every effort to bring the factions together has failed. While tlie action of tlie Cincinnati democrats may endauger the success of the state ticket it is now pretty well understood that it will not prerent the nomination of Gov Campbell as the better element of the party in the state are supporting him loyally, and his friends believe that he will win enough farmers’ votes on the tariff question to offset the loss of dem- cratic votes in Cincinnati. Intercourse with the Black Republic has been shut off entirely at Washing ton. Although yippolyte became presi- deni largely through tho friendly inter position of the Uni ted .States i nil uence he is said to have flippantly repudiated his pledges aud otherwise acted in the most unscrupulous manner. Therefore Uncle Sain intends to ignore him unless he does something to merit punishment. But he is apparently as sCupid ami crafty as he is black. Holy John, the pious leaven of the presidential cabinet, is again showing the cloven foot in the Keystone National Bank scandal in Philadelphia. He in duced Comptroller Lacy to withhold the appointment* of a receiver for many weeks while Holy John and Marsh, the piesident of the wrecked bank, were trying to “rehabilitate” the assets. “Re habilitate” is a good word, in fact a good large word, and sounds well along side “Legitimate Campaign Expenses,” a phrase invented by Holy John to cov er up the rottenness of his $400,000 con tribution to the Indiana “Blocks-of- Five” business by which that state was bought for Harrison. The Keystone Bauk matter is on a par with the “Blocks-of-Five” scandal, and both of them would disgrace a Bhwery thug. The Knoxville Tribune says the com parison of the people’s party by Senator Petfer to a western cyclone is^jot good, because the western cyclone usually leaves a barren waste in its destructive wake.” We beg leave to differ with the Tribune. The comparison is most ex cellent. “A barren waste” is just what the people's p/rty would leave behind it, If in power. AFRAID OF THE RESULTS. Upon returning to Kansas from the Cincinnati convention the leaders of the third party movement issued a circular, which was sent to the sub-alliances throughout the state, requesting them to give an expression of their opinion of the work done by the convention. Aboui fifty sub-alliances have beeQ heard from, and here is a sample of their replies : Whereas, The south was not represented In the Cincinnati convention; and, whereas, we believe a third party will disrufft the repub' llcan party to the benefit of the democratic party; therefore he it V Resolved, That we abundon the third party to return to our past affiliation. This kinder throws a damper upon tlie third party politicians, and it begins to look like the nest will be broken up be fore the egg is fairly hatched. The great-grandaddy of all the Geor gia “crackers” has been seen in Dalton. The North Georgia Citizen describes him as “a little old man, very old, with long, snow-white hair—a ‘one gallus’ chap, smoking a cob pipe and driving a diminutive bull yearling hitched to a tw'o wheel cart, loaded with hides and peanuts.” Some of the more ignorant of tho writers on the “cracker” subject would do w’dl to go down and see a “cracker.” They may never get another chance. , Memphis is becoming alarmed at the rapidly increasing volume of its delin quent tax list. And Memphis should become alarmed. Next to Birmingham, it has more land within its corporation, which evidently the people do not think worth paying the taxes on, than any city in the south. Birmingham leads iu that respect, however. Olt in Mississippi the are organizing the society of “The Daughters of the Confederacy.” A good idea—a fitting companion society to “The Daughters ofj the Revolution.” We should like to see every community in the south have a branch of “The Daughters of the Con federacy.” The practical joker is very of tea guilty of acts for which he ought to be lodged iu jail. A few nights ago, at a point on the New- York Central railroad, two bicyclists with red lamps on their machiues flagged an express tram as it came dashing around a curve. The en gineer believing when he saw the danger signals, as he thought, Hashing ahead of him, that certain death awaited him, reversed his eugine aud prepared to jump from tho cab, but before he could do so the engine sped by the red lights and he heard the mocking shouts of the Jokers. The fright of the engineer was so great, however, that his hair turned white and he is now Uttle better thaa a nervous wreck. At the time the train turned the curve it was running at the rate of fifty miles an hour, and the chances are the engineer would have been instantly killed had he jumped from his engine. The detectives of the New York Central road are now work ing on the case, and the chances are the two jokers will spend a term In prison as there is a state law against flagging a train without a cause. Ben fliLL, Jr., has for some time been writing a life of his illustrious father, and some extracts from the ad vance sheets just published,"are causing some stir by reason of tlieir criticism of Senator Joe Brow-n, the political rival of Senator Hill. These extracts contain parallels between the lives aud charac ters of the two great southerners and a general review of their records from the time that they became antagonists in the political arena before the war. Mr. Hill claims to criticize Senator Brown only lu so far as is necessary to do justice to the truth of history concerning Senator Hill, whose lack of judgment was first announced by your Uncle Joseph him self. The latter refuses to reply to the criticisms of Mr. Hill, stating that the erdict of history is already made up. Make » Note of It.
