Scarcely a day passes that the press
does not contain an item from some part
of the Union illustrating the evils that
grow out OF the reading of pernicious pa
pers and stories by children. Probably
not one instance OF depravity in thous-
and, resulting from such literature, gets
into print. Girls and young women are
doubtless affected more than are boys and
young men, because they have more time
10 read and less employment to divert
their minds into useful and instructive
channels.
1t would be great exaggeration to say
that all or nearly all readers of dime
novels, and flashy sensational papers and
magazines so to the bad. A very large
proportion do not become CRIMINALS or de-
scend into the slums, but their views of
tue responsibilities and duties OF life be.
come dwarfed or distorted so as TO render
them unhappy,and they become the cause
OF much unhappiness to all connected
with them either in the family circle or
as friends.
IL is not necessary that young people,
and children especially, should have their
reading matter limited to the goody-goo1y
books that in some respects are as Obiec-
ti0nable as dime novels. There are many
excellent books, magazines and papers
now published especially for young peo-
pie that are not only highly interesting,
but are instructive, and tend to develop
the moral character as well as the mind
1t is the duty Of parents to know what
their children-smau or large-read, to
forbid the reading of Objectionable mat
ter, and to provide for them wholesome
literature.
The daily ~ well as the popular weekly
paper is largely read by children and
youths. While it is objected that much
is published in such papers that should
be kept from the eyes Of children it is the
duty OF parents to teach them to separate
the good from the bad. Moral Lessons
may be taken and strength OF character
developed from the accounts daily pub
Ished of great and even infamous crimes.
The worthy parent teaches his or her
children TO avoid bad company
and TO pay no attention to improper
language heard on the streets. The con.
scientious newspaper gives daily his
tory Of tho world, the good and the bad,
yet presenting the bad in such man
ner as to bring it into contempt, and to
hold the doors OF the evil up to public
scorn. The evil cannot be ignored. Let
it be recognized and condemned.

The Mexican War Cloud.

The voice Of Texas is for war. Texans
think that Mexico ought TO be taught that
she cannot inflict iudignities on Ameri-
can citizens with impunlty, and that is
the sentiment, doubtless, Of nIne-tenths
Of the people OF this country.
The trouble is about Editor Cutting, an
American citizen Of FL Paso, Tex, who
has been seized and thrust into a Next
can dungeon at Paso del Norte without
good reason. The latter place is just
across the Rio Grande from FL Paso.
Secretary Bayard has demanded the
unconditional release of Mr.. Cutting, and
Consul Bingham and Minister Jackson
have had occasion to- take part in the
matter. Mr.. Bayard has shown himself
to be very firm, and even peremptory,
where the liberty of an American citizen
is concerned, and Mexico, if she is wise,
will not hesitate about releasing Mr.. Cut
ting.
1t will be remembered that Ecuador a
few months ago was slow in needing Mr.
Bayard' demand for the releaseIof Santos,
naturalized American citizen, but when
an American war vessel appeared to back
up the demand his prison doors flew open
very quickly.
Mexico appears to be stubborn about
releasing Mr.. Cutting. 1t can hardly be
possible that she wants to have trouble
with this country. She certainly has
nothing to gain by it. There are enough
men in Texas alone who would like moth
ing better than to be authorized to 90 to
Paso del Norte and batter down the Jail
in which Mr.. Cutting is confined. They
would regard such an undertaking as a
sort of a picnic.
The dispatches indicate that there is
considerable excitement in Texas and in
Mexico. Within the last day or two a
large body OF Mexican troops has been
quartered at Paso Del Norte. This would
seem to Indicate a determination to hold
on to Mr.. Cutting. Mr.. Bayard
can be depended upon to stand firmly
by the position he has taken. He has
been criticised for what has seemed to be
tmidityin the fishery matter, but the fact
that That matter is a complicated one, and
cannot be dealt with In a peremptory
way, has been to a great extent over
looked. There need be no fear that in
this affair with Mexico he will pursue a
policy which will be open to the criticism
OF being timid.

The board of designators, whose duty
1t Is to select an Inspector of HuIls for
this district, did not meet last Thursday,
as it was expected it would Why it
didn't nobody seems to know. 1t is COM
posed of the Collector of this port and
the Supervising Inspector, Mr.. Curran.
The Judge of the United States District
Court is member of the board, but it is
probable that he will not act in this case,
He was not present when the board met
some days ago, and it received instruc-
lions to proceed without him.
AS Is we'll known no decision was
reached. Two candidates were examined.
one from Savannah and the other from
jacksonville. The Savannah candidate
passed the better examination. and the
Collector voted for MIN. Mr.. Curran did
not vote at all because, it is understood,
he had instructions from Washington to
support the Florida candidate, ana to
have followed his instructions would
have produced deadlock. No inspector
for this district, therefore, was chosen.
When the board adjourned it was with the
understanding that the Supervising In
spector would be in this city again on
July -, and that then he and the ColIec-
tor would settle the matter.
But he did not make his appearance on
that date, and there is now no date fixed
for his return here. When the facts are
understood III this case they appear to be
! rather remarkable. The law points out
the way in which the Inspector shall be
chosen, and yet, If the facts are as re-
| ported, deliberate attempt is being
made at Washington to control the ap-
! pointment. Why is it that the bureau at
Washington, which has control OF the In
spectors of Hulls, is 80 anxious to con-
troll the appointment of Inspector for this
district? Why should the bureau prefer
Jacksonville man TO a Savannah man
when the Savannah man is much the
better qualified for the placer Why
should a Jacksonville man have the place
at all unless he have extraordinary merit,
since the duties of an Inspector of Hulls
are chiefly at Savannah?
Mr.. Curran, OF course, has to obey the
instructions of his superiors, but wouldn't
it be better for his superiors to let the APP
pointment be made in accordance with
the law. 1t doesn't look well, to say the
least of it, for a supervising inspector to
act as a member of board of designa-
tors, with instructions to vote for a GER
tain candidate even though other caEdi-
dates have superior qualifications.

Fro,a DC WaSAinoton Critfc.


The President sat at his desk this morning
with his head resting on his hand, and with
several unused vetoes lying around handy.
"Danel,' he SAID in tone 50 earnest that
there was sadness in 1t.
"les, sire, responded Daniel
'Dtd your wife ever take dog to raiser"
"l es, sire"
"When, Daniel|
"When she was much younger than she IS

YES, sire. 1t slept IN our room as a watch

The Presidents face lighted with look Of
relief.
Ibid it curl itself up and sleep right in the
middle of your back, Danel2"
"Of course not, sire. Why do you ask such
a strange question:
The light left the Presidents face and the
earnest look came back again,
"Oh, he said, assuming an AIR of indifler-
ence, there WAS no particular reason, Daniel.
Just happened 10 be thinking about house
dogs in their domestic relations. that was
all"
Then there was silence, and the President
stuck His pen through n veto and held il poised,
ready to stick it on the first bill that looked
suspicious.

Ira Holmes Wheat Deal.


Ira Holmes has the reputation of being the
biggest trader on smallest margins in the
West. II have often had $500 shares of stock
for lra," said a broker to the writer vester-
day. with only s., 900 margins, anu always
came out whole" Holmes Is the man who
made $3.50, 900 OF $3.50 inside OF ninety DAYS.
As that is abont as rapid aggregation as is ever
heard of, his method ought to be made public
1t was Handy's wheat deal when Ira was
broke. He took a $3.50 check to John T, Lester
and bought 3 900 bushels of wheat. | don't
suppose that Lester would have bought 2h 900
bushels with only cent margin for everybody
but it is part of the courtesy of the HE that a
gre It trader who pays in thousands n com mis-
slons when in bad luck Is entitled to attention
on the thinnest possible margins Just as
soon as the price Of that wheat advanced l%c.
a bushel Holmes took down his original mar
gin, gave Lester stop order at nc. from the
market, took the check TO another house aud
bought 3d. 600 bushels more wheat. That $3.50
check, 1t is said, went through twenty differ
ent houses, the same procedure being fol-
lowed in every case. Wheat Kept on advanc-
ing. That was where Holmes was lucky
There were no halts and no breaks. At each
half-cent advance he had q, 900 more wheat
bought. There were, perhaps, few cases
where he was frozen out. That was TO be ex-
pected. After the price had gotten up Ave
cents he had credit enough to double up. That
10 the way Ira Holmes made S250O00 out of a
$3.50 check. IL wonld have m ade him famous
If he had not been famous before,
