this remedy in high license. Ii they
have many of their distinguished fell
low citizens in the holy cause, it is
not from IGNORANCE of the great dan

to compromise the sacred interests OF

which were sometimes found to be

solved that high license is the only
feasible and peaceful means of exter-
minating the deluge of vice and crimes

source. Licenses should be put SC
high as to make it practically pro

by stature and should not be allowed
near church or school. Licenses
should be given only to persons Of
tried character. Ogden Standard.

Settling an Old Difficulty.

The following dispatch from AL
buquerque, New Mexico, tells its own
horrible and inhuman story: "The
particulars of singular duel, recent
ly fought in Taos county, have just
come to light An Indian and Juan
Verega, a wealthy Mexican cattleman,
repaired to spot about six miles
from the town of Taos, just at the
break of day, to settle an old grudge.
The weapons were butcher-knWes,
and, by the method of fighting agreed
upon, each man was to submit his
hand to his opponent and have one
finger cut off, the cutting to be done
alternately, and the man who first
evinced signs of pain to be stabbed
to the heart.
1.-The Indian by toss secured the
first cut, and deliberately taking the
hand of his opponent, with quick
strike severed his forefnger. The
Mexican never uttered sound. The
Indian reached out his hand and off
came his thumb This continued in
silence until the cattleman had lost
four fingers and the Indian four also.
When the Indian reached for his foes
left hand the latter's second, becom-
ing scared at the fearful flow of blood,
sent bullet through the Indians
heart. The affair is one Of the most
inhuman ever heard of in any land,
and all parties to it will be prosecuted
1t is thought the cattleman will die. =

In AIaska's WlIds.

ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. 1S.-Letters
have been received in this city from
John e. McGrath, one of the chiefs
of the government expedition for the
survey of Alaska, dated August 19
and 81. That part of the expedition
which McGrath commands had at
that time nayigated the Yukon river
farther than any steamer ever went
before and will, during the winter,
travel through the unexplored land.
Mr. McGath speaks of the miserable
poverty and filth Of the Indian inhab-
itants. Game and fish are very abund-
ant. 1t is difficult, he says, to believe
one in an artic land when you observe
the luxuriant forests, green grass,
flowers and warmth of the days. But
dig down ten inches anywhere and
the ground will be frozen hard. Mos
quitos are plentiful and ferocious.
The two parties separated at Fort
Yukon July 2, Turner going up the
Porcupine river and McGath making
his way up to the boundary. The
miners, says McGrath, are miserably
poor The storekeeper at Forty Mile
creek had SIS, 900 of bad debts in his
books this spring and still, says the
latter, men without money are getting
as good treatment as those who have
the cash. The storekeeper gets his
money if the miners make it, and If
they don't he loses. Times have been
dreadfully hard with the miners. 1t
rained nearly all spring and summer
and the mountain steams had become
torrents, washing out everything and
preventing the miners from working
Wages are So day, but the men are
able to work so little they would
/ prefer 81 per month and food. Me
Grath don't expect to get any more
letters to the post until next summer.

The Revolution in Brazil.


With the revolution in Brazil the
last of the monarchies of the Cont
nent has been overturned and an I'M
broken line of republics stretches
from the great lakes to Cape Horn.
There are dependencies of princes in
North and South Americans Canada
in the former section and Guiana in
the latter-but no crowned head any
longer bears direct sway over any
portion of the Western Hemisphere
The crisis in Brazil has not been al
together unexpected. Suggestions of
its approach have been heard frequent
~ in the past two or three years, but
especially since the recent emancipa-
ton of slavery in the empire. 1t is
known, too that the royal family ex-
pected it, and we're preparing for
fight or acceptance of the situation
when the rising came which they saw
to be inevitable. But nobody either
in or out of Brazil imagined that the
storm would come so soon.
For decades past the Brazilian Gov
eminent has been an anachronism.
Surrounded on all sides by countries
with whose traditions, prepossessions
and aspirations the monarchical sys-
tenn is at war, Brazil has, by reason
of its moral and social isolation, been
an object of peculiar interest to stu
dents of politics. From the moment
when the last of its neighbors struck
off the royal yoke, that country has
offered especial and particular prov
oeation for the uprising which has
occurred. The considerations and in
fuences which postponed the revolu.
ton to this date were the personal
Ipopurity of the Emperor and the wis
dom and progressive spirit which he
manifested in welding power. Con
trary to the experience elsewhere, re-
form in the Brazilian Governmental
system began at the top, and not al
bottom. 1t was the monarch and moi
| the subjects who devised and carried
them into execution. Still, although
the scepter has been taken from one
of the wisest and best of princes, the
action is creditable both for moral ant
political reasons. Brazil has taker
step forward in social and materia
development, and the Independent
nations of the Continent welcome i
on its entrance into the fraternity 0.
republics. :

In duration of nominal reign Dom
Pedro was the oldest of monarchs.
He went to the throne fifty-eight years
ago, six years earlier than Queen
Victoria, and had come within less
than two years of equaling the period
of sway of George IL, the sovereign
whose rule extended over longer
time than that of any other monarch
in English history. Pedro's power
began, however, when he was only
about 6 years of age, and he is still
six years younger than Britain's
Queen.

POINTS OF ETIQUETTE OBSERVED AT THE LEGA-
TON or THE FLowERY LAND.
From Table Talk
When the Chinese minister gives a formal
dinner to any OF his own countrymen of sufficient
rank to be thus hOnored or to japanese Wis
TORS he never fails to go through curious
form of etiquette. Before taking his seat at
the head of the board he approaches the
guests, who stand in line around the table,
and without uttering a syllable pushes each
tenderly and playfully and points significantly
to the unoccupied post at the head of the
table. 1t is etiquette for the guests to observe
a rigid demeanOr, neither speaking nor NOV
ing. and demonstrating by their intiexibie at
utude their unwOrthiness to occupy the place
d honneur. This over the minister sinks into
his chair and no doubt would have been greatly
surprised had anybody taken it. No one
speaks until the minister drops a remark
which is finally taken up and commented on.
Then the chief speaks again. and more OBJ
servatiOns follow, SO it may be said that the
chairman i'll measure supplies subjects fol-
conversation.
Another curious custom at these formal din
mrs is that after the fish is eaten they all rise
simultaneously and dust their chairs with then
napkins. The bill of fare is pretty nearly the
same as would be served at any of the other
foreign legations, with one or two special
Chinese delicacies by way of tidbits. Chinese
gentlemen prefer Burgundy and claret to any
other wines.

German Editors to be Banished.

HOW THE KAISER SEEKS 10 NOZZLE THE PRESS
Berlin Special To New York World, April6
The bundesrath, at a plenary sitting to-day,
reconsidered the press laws and RENTED them
to the commission with important modifca-
tions. The commission had previously reported
that they were divided on the proposals, and
that there was no possibility Of their reaching
an agreement. The representatives Of Saxony
and Bavaria protested that the operation Of
the law, II the proposed measure should be
passed by the reichstag, would create discon-
tent and imperil public order. The opposition
combined with the Representations of Herr Won
Bennigsen and other national liberal leaders
appear to have induced the emperor to assent
to Prince Bismarck's urgent request for a re-
modelling of the law. The articles designating
as penal offense hostile criticism of the gov
ernments, the monarchy, the institution Of
marriage, the rights Of property and the church
will be amended. The exact form Of the new
law will not be revealed until the commission
have finally reported. Prince Bismarck, in an
interview with Herr Miguel and Herr Won Ben
nigsen, indicated that the bill, in the form in
which 1t would probably be presented to the
reic hstag would leave free for discussion social
topics, such as the family, religion and prop
erty, and permit theore teal analysis Of po-
htical questions, retaining the articles making
II penal ofensc to incite hate OF or contempt
for the government and the calumny of OIL
cials. The clause providing for the suppression
OF offending papers and the expulsion from the
country Of condemned editors: viii also be re-
tanned. The reichs6 K will not consider the bill
until after Easter. The expulsion clause meet IA
with fierce opposition.

A Cashier Skins.

HE Is SAID TO BE THIEF TO THE AMOUNT OF
SlOO0O0-A WOMAN THE CAUSE
=. L. Pratt cashier of the First National
bank at Anoka, Mimi, has gone to Canada, and
an examination of his accounts shows that he is
a thief to the amount Of nearly 100000. The
directors will place the bank in the hands of the
bank examiner, and he will appoin. receiver
to settle the affairs close up the business. 1.
is impossible to tell how great has been Pratt
villainy as the banks correspondents in both
Chicago and New York allowed him to over
draw to the amount of $4,000 1t is probable
that ne has drawn to the full limit of both
banks. They have been telegraphed to refuse
payment on all checks signed by Pratt. Pratt
was also specializing in the Minneapolis ex-
change and had loaded up the bank with con-
siderable bad paper of a lumber concern,
though part of it was Endorsed by a solid citizen.
The cause of his downfall is said to be in
tlmacy with handsome young woman of doubt
ful antecedents, on account of which his wife
took her two children and went to her brother
In Boston. Still Pratt kept up his intimacy
with the woman, who Is supposed to have had
a child by him. There was quite a contest on
the part of directors at the January meeting
over his election on account of the domestic
scandal A compromise was finally effected
the unders landing being that he should close
up certain business matters with which ne was
familiar at a reduced salary. From that mo-
ment, 1t would seem, he went deliberately at
work to steal all he could. The president OF
the bank is II. l.. Tickner, one Of the pioneer
citizens OF the northwest The capital stock
was $4,000. Most of the holders were local
business men. All the money taken on deposit
yesterday will be returned in full, but that pre-
ylously deposited will have to await settlement.
Unless m alters prove worse than expected, the
depositors will pr obably be paid in full.
