raised how the question OF honor stands be-
tween them, and which, according to s'the
CODE" should challenge the other; and which
viii be dsgraced If he does not challenge We
should say that hOnOrS are easy between them,
and that they have diSgraced or distinguished
finging. That two public men of the high per-
sonal character, dignity. and ability Of Messrs.
Lamar and Conkling should descend to such
billingsgate personalities is astounding, and can
only be accounted for upon the theory that the
excitements OF the night had been especially
perturbing TO the temper and balance OF the
distinguished Senators. The question of 'shon-
or" had better not be raised at all In relation to
the parts they took, respectively in this dis
creditabe performance, and In which each was
betrayed into using epithets that he must feel
are absurdly unjust. MIR. Lamar does not be-
heve that Mr. Conkling is a liar and con-
tempt1ole person. Mr.. Conkling does not be-
neVe that Mr.. Lamar Is a liar, BLACKBOARD and
coward. These epithets will not stick to either
OF them, and each should make haste to redeem
himself by withdrawing his words. The country

There Is a growing feeling OF impotence
among the people at what Is considered the ex-
travagances OF the "higher educational" system
In public instruction, and the corresponding
lack of thorough and complete rudlmentary
teaching. The governors Of New York, Penn
sylvania and Massachusetts, have called atten-
ton to the condition OF affairs in their respec-
tive states. Whatever opinion may be held as to
the proper scope of public education, every one
VIII be ready to allow that the few branches of
study which are universally conceded to fall
Within It's limits should be thoroughly mastered
at the outset. Wherever the outlay upon other
branches which are thought by many to be also
rigntly Taught In the public schools, has pre-
vented the doing of full justice to the rudimen-
tary studies, there is frst-class evil tn he

The eaters Of human flesh, like the cannibal-
1stic John Smith, and the drinkers or suckers of
human blood, like Helreifel, the New York
tailor, are brought to the front at a time of ex.
cellent dizziness with many papers. But as
long as Congress is In session and disposed tn
Wrangle, Washington newspapers with limited
space at command must protest against forcing
the season for such items. With Senatorial
man-eaters, thirsting for one another's GORE
and sprlnging at one another's throats there Is
no need to hunt up tailors or imaginary John
Smiths with furtive longings for blood. Let
them be postponed until hot weather or the
adjournment OF Congress makes items scarce

1t is claimed that the New York police are
not so stupid, but more polite than has been
believed. Their Intelligence Is thus indicated
at the expense Of whatever virtue it Is that
urges men to bring criminals to justice. 1t Is
asserted that the police were on Mosher's track
-FOUR days after Charley Ross was abducted;
that there Is little doubt In any policeman's
mlnd That MI. Stewards remains were recov-
cred, and that 1t is police secret, well-kept
and we'll understood, who killed Mr. Nathan.
1t might have been added that the way In
which the Manhattan Bank robbery was car
lied out relieves at least one policeman from
the charge of stupidity.

In seems that In spite OF the immense uuan-
titles Of ice cut this year the prices will remain
about the same. The New York Ice men ex-
plain that their crop has been imperfectly
slowed away, so that the sun has been and is
now converting much Of it into water. Thus
appears another evidence OF the power of
human ingenuity to turn all things to its ad-
vantage. The sun becomes to the tce-dealer as
precious boon as the frost Is to the peach
