Letting Wars out by Contract.
Frank I.eslie's.l


No fight of Mr.. Barnum's genius ever ex-
ceeded the audacious scheme of an English pill
manufacturer, who sends 10 900 copies of
handful to Gen Wolseley and offers $3.50 TO
the first soldier who nails one to the door of
Gen. Gordon's palace in KhartOum. The en-
terprising piller declares that he Is moved by
patriotism in making the offer The idea Is a
good one and might be expanded. Who was
the London halter who years ago offered tc
capture FL Mahdi and fetch him to London
on the payment of a certain sum c. O. d.,
and the privileges of unrestricted advertls
ing.
Money does everything nowadays, and
there is no obvious reason why the wars OF a
nation should not be let out by contract.
Stanley found Livingstone and overrun Cen
trail Africa, not as n warrior but as news
paper reporter Why should not half a
dozen big dailies combine to capture FL
Mahdil Why should not the proprietor of
an nlustrious soap contract to keep the Nj
hiists in order, to quiet Ireland, to settle the
treaties in Madagascar Why should not
some patent medicine man contract to run
Mexico for a term of years, to collect her
revenues pay her debts. and hang her revo-
lutionistsl The war of England with Egypt
could have been far better managed by a
private firm, proceeding to specified end on
business principles. In fact, few business
men manage so stupidity anything committed
to their care as great nations generally do
their treaties and their armies.

A MEXICAN HAT.

Texans and Their Broad BrIms.
baltimore Newsl
A passenger in the Pullman coach from
the west when he boarded the car out on the
plains brought in and carefully deposited in
the drawing-room, on one Of the cushions,
$50 Mexican hat, stif with silver
thread embroidery and circled by
heavy silver cord He was A. j. Adams,
who, though only . years old, is able out of
the profits of his New Mexico ranch to in
dulge in thu luxury of $50 hat, but purely
as piece of interior decoration for an east
ern friends house. Sheriff Ware who was
admiring the hat, said that Cen Valdes
when an exile from Mexico, had with him
hat that cost 5000 and a California saddle
that had cost 81, 800. Both were heavily
embroidered with gold and silver lace, and
the general was very proud of them. It's a
common thing" he added "for these Texans
TO wear hats that cost from SIS to SO In
fact a cowboys hat and saddle cost more
than the whole of the rest of his outfit The
boys get these big hats from the east where
they are manufactured, although they are
never worn. A silk hat is as uncommon out
here as one of these sOmbrerOs is ON Broad
way"
The big hats are the best hats III the world.
They are warm in winter and a shade In
summer The Texans are very particular
about the broad brims. They Will touch
nothing with brim narrower than three
AMI one-half inches, and they want often a
hat that is five and one-half inches in width
of brim. The hats last four or five years,
and some cowmen have a superstition about
them if they have good luck while they
own them, and after they have worn them
long while they will send them off and
have them cleaned, and wear them several
years longer.
Many men here have made all their for.
tunes under one hat. There is not only
economy and durability reasons for the
custom, but there is health in them Have
you ever seen a bald-headed sombrero
wearer! Then the color too, which varies
from light dun to a buff, prev-nts rehec-
ton from the sunlight
"Why are Mexican hats so expensiveP
aThey are made by hand. Unlike the
Texan sombreI os, they are made OF WOO
carefully prepared, and each one Of theSt
costly hats represents several months labor
This hat you will see" he added, as h'
rubbed his hand over the peak, "is as soft a
a newborn baby's cheeks. This silver thread
is laid on by women who are careful to ma
it together. 1t gives the brim a curl, and
keeps the tiny sugar leaf in the center stiff
This pattern is very simple, but you will se'
the cactus, the palm, and the Mexican
grasses picked out in gold and silver Oh
many Of the hats. The true Mexican will in
vest his all III a fancy hat, and clothe tn
rest of his body in dirty rags."

Reception No. 2.

Gen. John Q. Black, commissioner Of
pensions, and party, came IN on the At
lantic express last night, from the G. A.
Il. encampment at San Francisco. The
members OF the Ft. Seward post had been
notified and gave the party an informal
reception at the Northern Pacific head
quarters. After numerous introductions
and hand -shakings ex- Mayor Flint called
the company to order and introduced
Gen. Black who spoke about five MN
utes. The general began by saying that
even though thousands of miles from
home he could address the assembly as
fellow citizens. One of the most lmpol-
tant reflections to him, in regard to the
late civil war was, that, if the Union
army had been unsuccessful, instead of
being one great nation, we would be 8
number of petty states-as many as pre-
dudice, interest and ambition, could
make. Continuing the general said that
this trip had been a revelation to him.

and of Dakota, then considered the Great
American Desert, region where 1t was
SAID that If a crow flew across it he would
have to take his rations with him. Now
he was surprised to find a fertile region
full OF lakes and covered with green YER

the buffalo trails and tepee rings OF ten
years ago he today found thriving towns
and growing cities. The Great American
Desert of yesterday has suddenly been
metamorphosedl into region Of surpass-
ing beauty and world renowned fertility,
inhabited by thrifty and intelligent peo-
Pile, so numerous that they are now ask
ing for admission to the Union. And
when they become full grown he heartily
hoped they would be admitted. Here
the conductor shouted call aboard'' and
the remainder of the gentlemans remarks
were lost. Gen. Logan and party will be
through tonight, word having reached
here to that effect. The great war Gen
eral and favorlte with the soldiers of every
army corps will be greeted with large
crowd here, no doubt, as he has elsewhere
along the road, and may be induced to
make few remarks to the Citizens-for
