Some Serio-comic episodes all based on
the code of honor, have recently been
agitating the chivalry of New Orleans to
q very remarkable degree Some time
since there appeared in one of the local
papers an article touching certain repor-
torial Investigations into the election re-
turns in the case of Geo. w. Smith, the
recently-seated Republican member Of
Congress from the Fourth District of
Louisiana. Upon the publication of this
ment from the office of the Secretary of
State qualifying certain assertions in the
report. Mr.. G. f. Whitney, the reporter,
subsequently visited the office of the Sec
rotary Of State, and, engaging in an ami
mated controversy with Mr.. George Drury,
an official therein, gave him the lie,
whereupon Mr.. Drury struck out from
the shoulder and knocked Mr. Whitney
down The code was promptly appealed to.
the weapons chosen We're tour-sided small
swords. After several passes Whimey's
sword penetrated the sleeve of his oppon-
ent's coat, but shortly atterward he himself
received wound in the left arm. The
seconds thereupon expressed themselves
as satisfied, and the parties withdrew. The
pnblic got wind of the affair, and both du
ellsts were laughed at tor not having dis
played more courage in settling their diff
ferences on the field. A full report of the
bloodless ARRAY appeared in the Times,
and no sooner had this appeared than the
writer thereof received a note signed by
attorneys representing the duelsts, setting
forth that he had sought to joke with an
affair Of honor. Taking this view of the
report, the principals invited the reporter
to indulge in similar joke with either of
them at his own selection, and promised
to afford him all the fun and sport that the
circumstances would admit of, even to the
delight of writing his-own epltaph. The
sequel to this spirited correspondent has
yet to appear.

1t is generally believed that the case OF
the government against Jordan, Marsh &
Co, of Boston, has no foundation in JUS
tice, hut viii be proved to be parallel with
the oppressive prosecution Of Phelps,
Dodge Il Co., of New York. In that case
a clerk, discharged for dishonesty, became
informer and although there could be
made to appear, in all the immense i'm
portations of the firm. only an error of
about $1,000 in the invoices-still double
the amount OF the whole invoices was
taken as penalties, amounting to about
$500, 900, of which the intormer got one
fourth. There was no intentional fraud
on the part of this finn, and vet the absurd
revenue laws place honorable merchants
at the mercy of any scamp who may
chance to ferret out comparatively trif-
ing error. 1t is time that such things
were stopped, and the government cease
to ally itself with dishonest sneaks

The surrender Of the Virginius was by
no means the first ceremony Of the kind
in American waters. In 1915, the MeXi-
can Consul at San Francisco was indicted
for enlsting troops in the United States
for foreign service in violation of law.
The French consul, Nj Dillon. who was
also implicated, reused to appear in
court, and was arrested for contempt OF
course, the French Government took the
arrest in high drdgeon, and demanded
ample PREPARATION. Mr. Marcy, at that
time American representative. succeeded
in soothing the wounded honor by the
promise. that when 4 French ship or
squadron should appear in the harbor OF
San Francisco, the United States authori-
ties there, at an hour specified shall salute
the French flag, borne by such ship or
squadron, and that the salute be returned

WHEREFORE ?
The Duluth Minnesotia,. has made

The Duluth Minnesotiaas has made
a sudden and most remarkable dis
covery. 1t is this, that "the caucus
system is the touch-stone Of party pu-
rity." Somehow, the Republicans in
Ben. Buffers district didn't seem to
think so. Ben. had all the "purity"
of the caucuses on his side, but was
terribly beaten in a strong Republi-
can district. aud the country said,
Amen! And, if our memory serves
us right, and we think it does, the
Minnesotian itself didn't seem to think
so . very few weeks ago when it
urged Republicans in the First Dis
trict to bolt Mr.. Dunnell and vote for
Judge Waite, although Mr.. Dunnell
had the undisputed nomination
through this system which is "ths
touch-stone of party purity" Why
this change, Mr.. Mi'mesotian' If tho
caucus is good one time why is it not
another? and if it is not good one
time why should it necessarily be an
other? We leave these little conun.
drums for your philosophical medita-
ton.

Pennsylvania manufacturers owe
more to- protective tariffs than any
other capitalists in the United States.
We should expect, if the principle of
protection is sound, to see them bearing
up in the time of commercial depres-
sion better than their neighbours. The
facts are not so. The iron-makers of
that State are in great straits, as are
also the coal-miners; and to-day We
publish the news of strike among
the carpet weavers to avoid rsduc-
ton Of wages. It will soon begin to
dawn upon the minds of manufactur-
ers that high tariff eventually slim
ulates production beyond the legiti-
mate demand; and, when this state Of
things has been reached, everything
is in readiness for panic. The. tar
if is as largely responsible for the
panic of last fall as any other single
cause.-Chicago Tribune.

From, the New York Herald.
The recent reports Of tho Board Of
Health show rather alarming figures
in regard to diphtheria. Old and
young are in danger, but moro es-
pecially children between the age Of
4 and Is. The causes Of diphtheria
are chiefly want Of proper nourish-
ment, pure air, etc.
The best preventives are cleanli-
ness, frequent bathing, pure air, and
good, wholesome food. It is hardly
necessary to dwell on the danger of
diphtheria, but what renders it espec-
tally dangerous is the rapidity with
which it may attack large surfaces, as
well as the mechanical obstacles
which it may offer to one of most i'm
portant functions of life and the OBJ.
stinacy with which in resists the the
rapeutical resources which generally
modify other inAammations. Thus,
although it is generally not very dan
gerous to the skin, it becomes so when
it attacks the mouth and the nasal
foss@, but it is most frequently: fatal
when it attacks the pharanx, and, I'M
less it is Immediately attended to, it
scarcely every spares the patient when
it has once reached the larynx and
the bronchial tubes.
Diphtheria is at present alarmingly
prevalent in this city, and appears to
ravage the crowded districts. The
victims for the most part have been
children, residents of close, confined
tenementchouses and attending public
schools. The very greatest caution
should be used to prevent the spread
Of the contagion, and Immediately the
nature of the disease is ascertained
tho patient should be strictly con-
fined and kept apart from other hu-
man beings.
