OFFICERS AND GENT LINEN

The Judge-AdvocGte-G General has decided
that officers Of the army who will not paw
their debts cannot be arraigned under the
Articles of War for conduct unbecomine
officers and gentlemen. This ia decision
which we presume will be received with
relief in certain army quarters, but it is
singular decision. Of course the question
what constitutes conduct unbecomiap an
officer and a gentleman is a broad one.
and naturally covers, or can be made TO
cover, great deal of ground. It is also
true that in some countries officers in the
army have habitually been disposed to dis.
sipation and the mourning of debt. But
would the udge-Advocate-G General be pre-.
pared to say that the line of conduct com.
planned of is peculiarly becoming in an
officer and a gentleman A gentleman is
supposed to be, among other necessary
qualifications, a just man. He certainly
cannot be cheat, swindler, habitual
liar. a promise-hreake=. Yet it would
seem impossible for an officer TO be in the
position of man who will not pay his
debts, without being liable to some if not
all of these charges. Fer the man who re-
fuses to pay his debts must be assumed to

matte College. under such conditions as
would render it useful tender to the
stage. Perhaps the endowment of q
theater, after the style of the Francois,
would be still better. But certainly there
is great present need of some help to the
recovery of that school and art of really
fine acting which is well nigh lost, and which
every year now seems to be burying
deeper under the dreary load of vulgarity
and flippancy which has taken possession
of the stage. The drama can and ought
to be instructive as well as amusing. To
witness really fine acting is distinctly bene.
fetal to the mind. 1t is an art study, a
lesson III refinement and intellectual sub
tlety. But SO far as any usefulness is con.
cerned, the drama of the present day is
very little superior to the old Miracle
Plays which pleased our coarse ancestors
three hundred years ago. A movement
for the reform of the drama at this time is
called for, and it is one of those reforms
which the profession itself could do much
to set on foot.

Or if he is not capable OF paying them,
then ne must have contracted obligations
while knowing at the time that he could
not meet them and that is not honest In
fact it is quite impossible to reconcile any
theory of gentleman: hood with the case of
man who refuses to pay his debts. Such
a man may be an officer, but he cannot be

THE FoRFIFTCATloNs OF PARIS.

A recent dispatch appeared to be to the
effect that the Municipality of Paris had
voted for the removal of the Notifications
which encircle the city. We should say
that there must be some error about this
statement, The Municipality of Paris has
no jurisdiction over the Notifications, and
therefore would not be likely to take
vote on the irrelevant question of removing
them. The Government and Parliament
would certainly not listen to any such pro-
position, for immense sums have been ex-
pended since the close of the war with
Germany in repairing, improving and ex.
tending the external defenses OF the CAPT.
tai. In fact, it is difficult to comprehend
the drift of the telegraphic statement re.
ferred to.

be arrived in the city with his fam.
lily in the morning from Georgia, and
boarded the M. e. G. train for Little
Rock. While in the car, handsomely
dressed and prepossessing stranger
who had preyiousl y made himself very
agreeable to The emigrant, came up TO
him hurriedly and stated that he had
immediate need for 5000. He told
the victim that he was a merchant
at Chattanooga, and gave his name as
Morgan, adding that ho was also On
route to Little Rock and was very
happy that he would have such de
lightful company. The farmer were
loathed to let him have the money.
whereupon the stranger pulled out a
check on the German bank of Little
Rock for $500 payable TO himself,
stating that he had tried in vain to
have the check cashed, and needed
the money before the train left. He
gave the farmer the check as a colIat
eral and received $500 in crisp cur
rency notes, adding as he took them,
that he would return in a few moments
and expressing his deepest gratitude
for, the favor. He then left the depot
and has not since been seen.
The farmer, after waiting until the
train was about to pull out of the de-
pot, grew suspicious and reported the
case to Depot Policeman Driscall who
at once assured him that he had been
duped. He stated that be could not
believe that ar gentleman was lyin'
to him, and made up his mind if he
did not meet him in Little Rock to 90
right to that ar bank and have the
check cashed.
When that ar" farmer leaves
that ar" bank in Little Rock. he will
be sadder, but wiser man.
The same game was played on a re-
turning emigrant about two weeks ago,
bogus check on a Chicago bank for
$500 being used, and he was swindled
out OF $50.

The men to bo elected to morrow
have nothing to do with the settling of
the old city debt. Mr.. Chase, we
know, is opposed to ever paying more
than fifty cents on the dollar, but as a
member Of the Board Of Police and
Fire Commissioners, he would have
no moro authority in the matter than
as a private citizen. 1t is about as
reasonable TO call this a bondholders'
ticket as an Ed Shaw ticket. When
Shaw was a candidate for Office the
LEDGER paid its respects to him. He
is not running now and We shall not
go aside or backwards to abuse him.
The occasion and the interests of the
people do not require it. Shaw has a
right to his vote, his opinion and the
expression of his preference
the Same as any other citizen.
The next legislature may do something
with regard to the old debt. The last
one provided for the appointment Of a
Commission with the authority to
settle at 33j cents on the dollar. But it
takes two to make bargain, generally,
and the bondholders have not come
forward to accept the offer. The debt
will have to be faced eventually, and
the sooner we do it the better; but the
Police commissioners will have moth.
ing to do with it Those who are fighting
the Independent ticket so vigorously
had better try something else. The
people cannot be misled or deceived.
