The Ethics OF Cannibalism.

No doubt, long before man was quite
determined as a species or q genus,
there existed among his progenitors the
same vaguely defined tribal idea
which is so marked in the balloons, and
which, to q certain extent, influences
the condition of most species of apes
and monkeys. The Advantages and
duties OF combination must have been
even more evident and understood by
him-by his very yaison d'etre-than
they are by the intelligent African ba-
boons, who, in their little tribal
communities, protect and assist one
another, though they may attack and
kill strangers from other alien families
or tribes.
Early man, compelled for purposes of
self defence and effectnal attack to sub
ordinate individual rivalry to a com
bination of his brothers and sisters and
cousins against the attacks OF wild beasts
or Of hostile fellowmen, or carry out n
successful raid ON coveted feeding
ground, or TO pursue and do to death
some elephant or wild bull, would soon
acquire the conviction that it was mex
pedient-and consequently wrong-to
CONTINUOUSLY murder fellow tribesman,
unless under overpowering individual
provocation as the attempt on the
part of an uncle TO share hoard oil
oysters, or the too marked attentions OF
cousin to ones courted bride.
Consequently social condition would
be reached similar to that of most exist
ing savage races, wherein there is nor
mally peace and security among the
members OF the tribe, but where no
obligations to humanity in general, to
extra tribal mankind, was recognized.
1t, therefore, follows that in this stage
of morality it is not wrong to kill q
fellow human ii he does not b Along to
your community. Nay, more, it is
meritorious; for pristine man and the
existing savage was and is penetrated
by vague understanding of this terri
Bile struggle for existence in which we
are involved, and 80 far from framing
such proyerb as 'the more the mer-
rier," he would find satisfaction in kill
ing stranger by the feeling that it
meant one more rival out of the way
one more competitor for food and space
aud the right TO reproduce got rid of.
Once you have killed your man, reasons
the modern savage, aud no doubt re-
fected primeval humanity, once the
initial crime, IL crime, is committed,
why neglect such good food why not
eat your slain enemy? These human
types would be as little influenced by
sentimental considerations at first as
a hungry lion or half starved hyenn.

THE bill viii h Judge Horton has
drafted for the amendment of the di-
voroe law ough to be PASSED by the
Illinois General Assembly without
serious amendment. 1t proposes to
increase the discretion of the Judge
hearing divorce cases SO as to dis
courage collusiYe applications and bar
the way to collusive DEGREES. Its
adoption would also remove many of
the temptations and incentives to di-
vorce by empowering the Judge to de-
cree that the guilty party in case
shall not be permitted to be married
within a certain time, varying from
one to tea years, according to the cir
cumstancas of the case. The passage
OF this amendment would do much to
relieve Chicago from the unenviable
notoriety of being the divorce center
of the universe. 1t ought to have the
active support of all members of the
Legislature.

 Snrfue Tannia Tnurnamenk.

The YaIe.Harvard Game To-DaY-The e Spring Tennis TOurnamenr. This afternoon Yale. plays Harvard at the Field for the fourth championship game of the season. It promises to be very exciting game and certainly will be no wa1kover for Yale. The Harvard team has developed wonderfully since the first game that Prince ton defeated her so badly, and Bates place seems perfectly made good by Downer, around whom certain vague rumors of TO- fessionalism center. That large crowd will be present is attested by the one fact alone that every grand stand seat was sold after the sale had been opened a few hours, and one cannot be had now for any considera- tion.
 The spring tennis tournaments will take place next week, each class of the academic and Shelf. departments having it's own tour nament, the first and second of which in each to take part in the university tournament The winner of this Is to play Geo. A. Hurd go, the present champion, for the university championship.
 The college has been canvassed for sub- scribers for the Nation by man from the Harvard Law school.
 Brown go, who left college last fall to take charge of parish in New Bedford, has re. turned in order to take the examinations with his class.
 Yesterday the Mott Haven team left for New York to take in the Intercollegiate games on the Berkeley Oval. For this con- test more than 150 men from the different colleges have entered, of which number Yale sent twenty eight, and Harvard about the same number.
 The Freshmen played a fine inning game with nine from the Black Hall School of
 Lyme at the field yesterday afternoon, de- feating them 21 to 0.

A Yachting Souvenir.

James Gallagher, jr., the tobaeeonist, has in his store window a very pretty collection or photographs, representing several views of interest to local yachtsmen. The large frame holding them is appropriately embellished with carved gilded cable.
 One of the pictures is the club house; one of the Ceres at Thimble Islands; one, the Rajah off Brenton's reef in & strong breeze with housed topmast; two are groups of New Haven yachtsmen, one taken at Ouset Bay, where the club formerly cruised, the other group was taken at Branford Point opening sail day last year, both have the yachts at anchor for a back ground. Another and perhaps the prettiest of the collection ia the Rsiah and the cruising squadron at Stony Creek the year her owner, James G. Beecher, was commodore. This picture shows the cutters completely and properly bedecked in holiday trim, with colors from the outer bowsprit end to truck, then to the end of main boom. This picture will bring to the mind of every enthusiast the halcyon days of that successful year.
 Of the other pictures the most interesting is that of the Wayward, the yacht that won the Block Island race. She was then owned by 0. B. Warren of Haddam and enrolled in the New Haven fleet. She is now the proper ty of Fred Belz, Esq, of the Atlantic Yacht club

A MANAGKR,s WOES.

Pays Bp she Salaries and Now Ean- EuIshes ia Jail. NEW YORK, May 24.-The office of Edward E. Rice, the well-known burleseue manager, 1 at 1, 267 Broadway, has been the centre of earlier part of this week. The fair chorus maidens and the agile comedians in groups have scaled the stairs which lead to Mir. Rice's sanctum, each bear ing in his or her hand a promise to pay for services rendered in presenting the classical "Adonis,' and signed by Rice. MT. Rice failed to respond at the first meeting with the necessary ''plunks, ," as dol lars are sometimes denominated in the pro- fession, but pasted notice upon his office door stating that he would be there on Thursday between the hours of 9 and 6.
 The opponents of classical comedy were and from the smiling faces and general air of content with which they emerged from Mr. Rice's office 1t was easy to see that the ''ghost had walked"
 The notice which Mr. Rice had posted served to attract two other visitors, whose presence was not entirely agreeable. About 4:S0 in the afternoon Messrs. McGonigle and Young, deputy sheriffs, dropped in and arrested MT Rice for contempt Of court. Mir. Rice, it appears, failed to snswsr certain questions that came up during tho supple mentary proceedings issued against that gen tleman by Mr. J. R. Jennings, who was c partner with Rice in 1881 in a summer music garden in St. Louis. Jennings was saddled with huge debt, which he sought to have borne by Rice.
 The courts gave Jennings judgment of $7,O0O against his partner, but so far Mr. Rice has only paid over $500.
 MT. Rice spent last night in Ludlow street jail and was still there this morning, bail not having been forthcoming. He declined to see any newspaper men until he had consult ed with counsel.

Hut she House Passes 1t Again ever the Veto.
 HARTFORD, May 24. Especial Correspondence of the JOURNAL AND CoUR-
 IER.I
 Governor Bulkeley to-day vetoed the olso- margarine bill. The house passed it over his veto by vote of 79 to 52, and the fight will be made against the bill in the senate, where it is understood the governors veto will be sustained. Governor Bulkeley's message was partly as follows:
 ''The fair interpretation of the proposed bill is to prohibit either the manufacture or sale of an article of food commonly known as "oleomargarine, the use of which AS 8 healthy, satisfactory and economical substi- tute for butter has become quite universal amongst the industrial and laboring classes of our most populous communities. The fraudulent sale of this article is abundantly guarded by both national and State laws more generally and vigorously enforced than is usual, and attended with severe and in- creasing penalties for their violation. The admitted fact that the dairy interests of the State are unable or fail to furnish the needed supply of butter is convincing to my mind that their interests will not be jeopardized or prejudiced by the continued sale of this arti- cle, which has already found for itself place in the domestic uses of the people of this State, and that the proposed legislation is unnecessary"

ARGENTINE CATTLE INDUSTRY.
A Bounty Gwen Ky the Government to
 Revive It.

Revive It.
 WAsHINaToN, May 24.-E. l.. Baker,
 United States Consul at Buenos Ayres, in a report to the Department of State, says that the cattle industry of the Argentine Repub- lie is in such languishing condition that a law has been passed offering guarantee of D per cent for ten years on the capital em- l ployed in the business of exporting fresh or preserved beef. The report says it is under stood that several establishmente are prepar- ing to take advantage of the guarantee pro- vided by the government, and are going into business on a large scale, with special stesm- CTS fitted up for the traffic and warehouses in England and France.
 Great things are expected from this bounty law by the Argentines, but Consul Baker says he does not believe the law will hurt
 United States beef-shippers much until new methods are adopted for the preparation Of beef for exportation. Stall-fed cattle are quite unknown in the country, and all bull
 locks for the market are taken directly of
 the erass the meat, of course, being soft and
 watery. The Argentines, it is thought, will
 not cut much of figure until they learn that
 dry food is absolutely necessary in order to prepare fresh meat for very distant foreign
 markets.
 nc tObh1 uUmDcE O4 Suc0p Ill tue AIX6Q- tine Republic is estimated at 80, COG. .O00, and of horned cattle at 20,000,0 GOO. It has been customary to slaughter the surplus cattle and keep the stock down by the preparation of jerked beef for Brazil and Cuba, and the shipment of the bones and tallow to Europe. These shipments have been steadily decreas- ing in the last ten years, and the stock of horned cattle has increased from 15 : 0OO 900 to 20, ,000, 900 head. Ten years ago nearly half million cattle were slaughtered annually in the province of Buenos Ayres alone. Last year the number did not exceed 100, 900, and many slaughtering establishments have been compelled to close up. The cattle industy has also become greatly depressed from this di- unfinished demand abroad and the value of the carcasses of horned cattle has fallen from $12 to $20 head, until they are now a drug in the market at from $3 to $6 head, or lit tie more than the value of the hide.
 It was in response to the frantic appeals of the cattle men that something be done to sti- mulate their industry that the law was en- acted giving 8 bounty to fresh beef exporting establishments.

The safety and strength of our nation must ever rest in the homes of its people In the log cabins of early days our fathers lived. Simple homes they were, but from within their mud chinked walls there sprang hardy race of men, full of love for home and liberty.
 Strong in bedy and mind, they laid the foundation of America's greatness. Well was their work performed, for upon that solid rock has grown, as years have passed, the imposing structure of cherished inde- pendence.
 Stately and grand, it is worthy of its de- l1signers.
 Though the heroes of that time have long since passed away, they have left us rich by Whilst our fathers were planning Ameri- cas- future destiny our sweet mothers were not idle, for in their ever mindful care for
 the welfare of their loved ones they discov-
