The boorishness Of Mr.. Frank
Plxley at the recent banquet given
BY the Bohemian Club, to George
Sala, . journalist, is still question
which agitates the press of San
Francisco. All over the civilized
world there are recognized customs
Of etiquette and canons Of propri-
ety, which are SO seldom broken,
that . single breach of them in
vokes . wide discussion. For
thousands of years even the semi
barbaric nations held these in re-
servance, and after you have eaten
salt or broken bread with the Or
ientalist, you are certain of cour-
teous treatment. The guest is
privileged person and the moment
you stretch your legs under mans
mahogany, you are entitled to every
mark of consideration which the
hosts knowledge of the necessities
and courtesies Of life can bestow.
If. however, the dinner-giver makes
a boor of himself it is not mat
ter for discussion, but better be
passed by in silence. Sala was the
guest Of the Club, and any viola
ton of table etiquette, not proper
in private house, at private din
ner, was not proper there. The
best way to dispose of the matter
according to our notion of think
ing, is to treat it from the stand
point of silence. You cannot beat
points Of table etiquette into man
as old as Pixley, if he has not al
ready acquired them
The trouble with Pixley is that
he has sat down too many times at
the tables. of wealthy men, who
we're not refined men, and is doubt
less melting out to others the same
sort of consideration he has re-
ceived at boards of former hosts.

The Reveille has no desire TO act
IS an alarnist 1t any time, and es-
pecially upon no serious ! subject
a. the question Of the presence Of
smallpox aneng the Indians. We
have published all We have been
able to learn concerning the rumors
30 far. The Indians deny it
Whether this is because they are
afraid Of being guaranteed and
lose food or whether they are hon
est in their representations, is an
open question. It is now stated
that the Big Greek Indians have
the smallpox in a very violent form
and that three have died within =
week, and that the rest are thor
oughly alarmed. These are the
stories that reach us, and our
duty to the public demand that
they be published. An investiga-
ton should be made by the doctors
and the result made known. If it
exists the people ought by all
means to know it, aad if not they
will be glad to have their con-
fidence restored. There is every
thing to gain and nothing to lose.
The use Of the Reyeille columns
will be freely given to publish any
thing of importance pertaining to
the matter,-Reveille.

ARMY CORRESPONDENTS.

Gen. Lord Wolseley has seen fit
since his last campaign to charac-
terize them as a race Of drones who
are an encumbrance to an army
who eat the ra5ions of fighting men
who do not work at all and should
be restricted as much as possible.
But in the meantime, almost while
he was inditing his anathema
against the travelling gentlemen"
two newspaper correspondents lost
their lives and one was wounded in
an encounter with the enemy.
These correspondents were among
the most conspicuous in bravery in
the heat of the conflict. One rep
resented the London Standard in
the field of action, one the London
Morning Post and the wounded
survivor the Daily Telegram.
The field enterprise for war cor
respondents has neither advanced
nor refrigerated since the days of
eur Civil War. War correspond

One should be ever ready to find
religious scruples cropping odt in
new and unexpected places: but it
stagge7s one somewhat to find them
looming up in the prize-ring. 1t
transpires that Mr.. Ryan, the pugil-
list, has declined to meet Mr.: Sulli-
van in New Orleans during the
Lenten season, as he has religious
scruples which prevent him plac-
ing . mans head in chanccry dur
ing the season Of fasting, prescrib
ed by the Church. Although the
werdly minded ascribe to Mr..
Ryan more of a desire to train
longer than to observe the Lenten
fast, it is but fair to give him the
full benefit of q credit for con-
seientio1sness in his motives.
Strange as it may appear, there
is q large class of people who,
while regarded by the world as
walking a long ways below the
plane of righteousness, are never
theless very conscientious in re-
gard to the observance Of religious
customs. There are plenty of bal
let dancers in New York who will
not twist toe during Lent, and
many leading actresses observe
the same rule. In New York there
10 just nov dearth Of amusement
because the Lenten season has
driven the leading actresses off the
boards. The only actress of any
note now playing in New York,
is Mod ieska who is a Jewess.
