The ChivaIry of Then and Now.

4There has been much holding up of
hands and shaking of heads writes
James Payn from London, "over a love
affair in the Black country, where two
young men fought with fists for three
quarters of an hour by a Wednesday,
clock for the possession of fair damsel
who had promised to take as her BRIDE
groom the one who proved himself the
better man; yet in the good old times
nothing was more common. and such an
incident was held to be full of romance.
The whole difference lies in the fact that
in the one case the combatants were
knights in Milan steel, and, in the other,
workinginen in their shirt-sleevrs; and /
am inclined tn think that good deal of
the chivllry Of the middle ages would
disappear if the Milan steel wer,' scraped

THE long continued drought in the
state of Texas is inflicting large losses
on thu cattle interest in that state. A
Fort Worth special of the 3rd says;
General reports received from
throughout the state show that two
great cattle sections of Texas are suf
fering from drought, one west sof the
central part of the state and the other
IN the northwest extending into the
panhandle. These reports give the
most gloomy outlook for cattle and
crops. In the western country the
grass has been completely destroyed.
There is not enough to summer the
herds, aud none to winter them. Cat
tie are no fatter than they were last
spring after having passed through
the winter. The calves have nearly
all died. The grass Is too far gone to
be benefited by rains. In that Sec
tion ranch men are moving their
herds as rapidly as possible, Trouble
has occurred on the trail in New Mex
leo. One hundred and eighty thou
sand head of cattle from the drought
districts Of western Texas are travel
ing northward through Mexico. They
are headed for the Trichera pass,
which has been forced by the local
stock men and Is being defended by a
large armed force. These immense
herds must get through the pass OF
die, as they are too weak to be driven
back into Texas. A bloody fight il
looked for. The cattle men of North
Texas are anxiously awaiting the out
come Of the meeting Of cattle men OF
Kansas City for the purpose, If posi-.
BILE, of inducing President Cleveland
to reconsider the order expelling cattle
from Indian Territory. Texas cattle
men estimate their loss at $1,000, ,0OC
by having their cattle run out of the
territory.

THE greatest confidence man living
is Count Ferdinand de Lesseps. He
is greater, we believe, as confidence
man even than as an engineer. There
appears 10 be absolutely no limit to
his capacity for coinlng the public
the public into money. 1t was gener-
ally supposed that the adverse report
of NJ. Rousseau, the officially accredit-
ed commissioner of the French gov
ernment, upon the chances of the
canal would definitely put an cstopper
upon the scheme. Not a bit of it. The
government appears to be no more i'm
pressed by what NJ. Rousseau says
than Secretary Whitney is impressed
by favorable report upon the Dol
phin. In the face of all that his repre-
sentative has said the government
mas decided to adopt the lottery
scheme-to father it and see that 1t
gets good start in life. De Lesseps
will probably raise the 10000. 900
francs that he wants-fOr there is no
people in the world so easily dazzled
by the magnificent and audacious
scheme. especially If it be located on
the other eide of the globe. as the
French-and that 100, 900, 900 ought to
suffice to demonstrate that the Pam
not probably do much more. But De
Lessep's share in the affair is almost
sublime. 1t was Carlyle, We believe,
who marveled and lamented that no
one had yet undertaken to compile u
history of the greatest of human
sciences-the science of Humbug.
There is task worthy of the energies
ofthe man who cut the Isthmus of suez.

THERE wouldn't be much chance
for an anarchist paper in China. A
Chinese newspaper writer named
Wongtz was recently sentenced to be

trary to court etiquette. Afterward
his punishment was mitigated to de.

Prosperity In business largely depends on
liked values, or, at least, on such changes in
current prices as flow from an honest supply
and demand. 1t Is a bad day for any stock
when Il becomes the foot ball of gambling spec
ulators, because then its intrinsic value ceases
10 have much to do with quotations. But the
evils flowing from stock speculation are slight
compared with those which follow wholesale
gambling In the crops. The practice that has
become so popular among spectators of betting
on the yield of the seasons and then endeavor-
ing to protect their guesswork by manipulating
the market values of crops Is one of the most
damaging TO national prosperity possible. For
eign purchasers will not patronize a capricious
and artificial market If other sources OF supply
are to be found. Hence our exports in the great
cereals have fallen off to n startling extent
since the crops have become the sport of gam
blers- How gigantic this evil has grown TO be
appears from the fact that during last year the
whole yield of petroleum was bought and sold
nineteen times over. The cotton crop was also
sold several times, and the wheat crop three
times over. 1t is a very serious question how
much further Ii Is safe to let this gambling in
the staples of commerce go unchecked.
Han impressive temperance lecture is to be
1ound in report in to-day's STAR OF mere lad
found insensible from drink in the snow on the
Capitol grounds last night, freezing to death.
Numerous other cases are cited where liquor,
generally OF the vilest kind, is sold to minors
on Sunday, to the utter ruin of the vicsims.
The more respectable liquor dealers have
deeency enough to refuse to sell to boys but
others take pains TO encourage this class of Gus
toners. The drinking habits OF society in the
last generation have pretty generally passed
away. 1t is no longer the fashion to keep liquor
on the sideboard and urge callers and friends
to drink. Nor is treating SO common or such
a mark of good-fellowship as formerly. Hence
a youth escapes many dangers of an earlier
epoch. But he is still the prey of those who are
willing TO destroy him for the gains his pocket
money gives them.
