THE FRENCH DUEL.

A. recent occurrence has gone far to
relieve the code duellO as practiced i'll
France from the imputation of harmless
burlesque and empty grandiloQuence
which Mark Twain and other humorous
writer's have cast upon it. A duel has
been fought and a man has been killed
"a very serious thing for the man who
was not of the victory, and quite a
thorough vindication of the danger
lying in sharp swords and loaded pistols
in the hands of eXcitable Frenchmen
whose honor has been wounded. But
though this vindieation may be very
satisfactory to the great body
of dueling Frenchmen, it can
not be very satisfactory to the
man who has lost his life in bring
ing it about. In fact, the possibility of
recurrence of a similar episode will in
all likelihood do more to bring the art
of duelling in dIsfavor in France than
all the argument which has ever been
brought to bear. But if some means of
aVenging honor which has been dam
aged must exist, there is yet a means
whereby that end may be attained with
out the unpleasant risk attending the
use Of sword or pistol. The recent visit
of distinguished BoStonian-SULLI-
VAN by name-should have given the
French the cue to this substitute.
Let them replace the rapier with the
boxing gloves as the weapon of the
duelist, and the dueling art, which
now bids fair to anguish. will be re-
stored to its pristine vigOr without ac-
companying danger, while decidedly
more fun will be afforded the numerous
spectators, including the representa-
tlves of the press, who are a necessary
adjunct of every properly conducted
French duel.

legal ability of the highest order, is the

legal ability of the highest order, is the
peer of any jurist in the land.
1t has too frequently been the habit of
self-satisfied Eastern men, men of bust
ness or professional men, to sheer at the
West as Nazareth out of which no
good thing can come, viewed from an
Eastern standpoint. The fact is that in
every branch of commerce, in every pro-
fession, the West possesses men who
not only can teach their Eastern breth-
rem a thing or two, but do it every day
in the year.
1t is not creditable to Eastern intelli-
gence that this incredulity and igno-
rance regarding anything Western
should continue to exist, and the APP
pointment of Chief Justice FULLER
may do much toward removing it.

AGAINST THE RAILROAD.
The Northern Pacific Downed by
a DEPARTMENT Ruling.

WASHINGTON, May THE secretary

Railroad company VS.. Il. S. Martin. of
the Fargo, Oak, land district, in which
he holds that the government had
right to create a reservation for military
purposes from lands lying within the

and that this act of reservation by the
executive department, excepted the
lands from the grant and they were
therefore public lands. The reservation

USELESS BOOMING

Even if the fact that all Wall street.
which dominates the Republican wire
pullers, who in turn will dominate the
Republican convention, is dead set
against the nomination OF Judge GREsH-
AM for president, were not sufficient to
throw him completely out of the race,
there is another reason which would ac-
complish that end.
Judge GRESHAM holds the opinion
that this country, with its wealth of de-
veloped and undeveloped resources, is a
country for the people and not for the
monopolists. He does not believe that
the producers, the men who earn their
living by the sweat of their brow, and
whose energy has made the country
what it is, should pay tax for the priv
ilege OF living to the idle monopolists.
He believes not only that the burden
some taxes should be reduced, but that
every article which the producer desires
to use, whether in the way of necessa-
rieS or Of comforts, should undergo no
artificial increment in price. In other
words, he is an out and out free-trader.
The Republican platform, on the
other hand, must be so formulated as to
meet the approval of the monopolists
upon whom the managers must depend
for the sinews of war. 1t must declare
i'll favor of the continuance of the tax
which the people have paid until they
have become almost desperate. 1t must
assert, under specious pretenses, the
right of the few to tax the many. 1t
must, in short, continue to be as it has
always been, an expression hostile to
every interest of the people.
Upon such platform Judge GREsH,
AM would not stand if he could. That
one fact wilin be found all-suficient to
preclude the possibility of his becoming
the nominee; and the greater honor is
his because of it.

New YORK, May THE proposed re-

motion among Yale men throughout the

here who have undertaken to secure the
delegation from this county and con-
gressional district favorable to Blaine
for president after giving Rusk a COM
plimentary vote, have made a canvass
of the delegation to-day. 1t is found
that several are willing Rusk should
have complimentary vote, but in every
case it is stipulated the vote shall be
strictly complimentary. Two think it
foolish to weaken the influence of the
delegation by the favorite son business;
one only is out and out for Rusk. Sew
eral of the delegation express admira-
ton for Blaine, but only two desire to
see him nominated. The preference is
largely for Gresham, with some prefer
ence for Depew and John Sherman.
