The spirit Of personal honor" still
registers as high among Georgia states
men as of yore. Two cases have arisen
from debates in the state legislature
wherein ii became necessary to resort to
the code for a settlement of the griev-
ances. The first one eliminated in a
harmless passage at arms on the Ala
bama border some three or four weeks
ago. and the latter, between two men,
bers OF the same body. ended as igno-
miniously Tuesday as the other, one of
the principals touring off in the opposite
direction from the place selected for the
battle. In the first case there was a
mutual vindication of honor. though no
blood was drawn, and no official action
was deemed necessary to vindicate the
law. nor yet the dignity of the
legislature, of which only one
OF the combatants was a
member. In the latter case, however,
both the state of Alabama and the legis-
lature Of Georgia felt justified in inter
fering in their respective vindication.
One of the principals and his second were
arrested in Alabama and placed under
bond to keep the peace in that state,
while the legislature has taken steps 70
expel both OF the principals from that
body. Duelling is discreditable relic
of antiquity and has no place in the civ
.ilization of the present era. II never
was anything better than bully's de-
vice and in its fatal seqUels proved moth
ing bevond the expertuess of the parties
concerned IN the use of deadly weapons.
The Alabama officials and Georgia
legislature are TO be congratulated upon
their acts in the premises, tardy as thsy
were.

The most interesting feature Of Judge
Peters interview, published in yester-
days dispatches, concerning Louisiana
affairs as observed by him during his
recent visit to that state is that pertain
ing to the sugar industry. The possible
ity, moi to say probability of the develop
ment of the industry in that state to the
extent of supplying the home demand is
most gratifying and encouraging infor-
maticn, Despite the Democratic incon-
sistency on the tariff question in this
connection it is not likely that the I'M
portant industry will suffer from lack of
reasonable encouragement from the gov
eminent.

In the case~ot the state of Kansas vs.
William P. Higinbotham, which has
been in progress of trial in the district
court of Riley county for the past week
the Jury returned verdict Monday Of
guilty Of grand larceny" The case,
which grew out of shortage Of 800, 900
in the Blue Valley bank, of which Hig-
inbotham was proprietor, has attracted
much attention, and the result is some-
thing of a surprise. The Kansas City
Star thinks it may be explained upon
the ground that such a termination Of
the trial would not have occurred any
where outside Of Kansas. This case is
not an exceptional one in this state, as
the court records will show. The I'M

remark is appreciated. though it is
hardly deserved. for several instances
are recorded of like results in similar
cases, one of the more notable Of recent

There is renewed interest in agrlcul-
ture in the New England states, SAYS the
Hartford Post, if the success of the New
England fair now being held in Wor-
cester is anything of a criterion. The
entries of stock and other agricultural
exhibits are more than double those of
last year. This is probably accounted
for by the fact that New England feels
the grip of the industrial monopoly, long
and firmly held there, slipping out of its
hands. Agriculture in that section as a
source of profit looks like forIorn hope;
still for those who cannot leave it beats
absolute idleness.

The death of S. S. Cox is an event
that arrests the attention of the whole
country and is viewed in the light of a
public calamity. Few menin this coun-
try who have attained to the prominence
and have been as long before the public
as he have enjoyed such universal re-
spect and confidence. Although par
tisan and an answering advocate and
defender of his party principles, he was
none the less a patriot and champion of
his country's honor. Although in public
life for more than third of a century,
filling number of important and respon-
sible positions, he never, SO far as we
now recall, had the suspicion of a dis
creditable act cast upon him. If his
party could find such another to succeed
him in congress little objection would be
raised on account of his politics. In the
death OF Samuel Sullivan Cox ends the
career of an honest man.

New County and Doubled Taxes
The Santa Ana papers seem to have

New County and Doubled Taxes.
The Santa Ana papers seem to have a
queer notion on the subject of the rights
and duties of a Los Angeles paper in
discussing the question of county divis-
ion. The HERALD has taken the position
that the erection of the new county of
Orange out of Los Angeles county will
greatly increase the rate of taxation
in the seeded portion. We first
made carefully prepared figures ourselves
which showed that our position was cor
rect. The Supervisors then promulgated
an official statement of the cost to the
taxpayers of the new county, and the
HERALD's figures were not only justified
but in some cases augmented. We are
charged W ith making fight against the
new county; and it is intimated that we
have no right to discuss the ques-
tion at all, as it relates solely to the
people in the proposed new county. As
to the first charge, we deny that we are
making any fight on the subject. We
are merely showing the taxpayers that
{ he new-county luxury will about double
{ heir tax-rate, and then letting them de-
eide for themselves. II they want to
saddle themselves with separate county
establishment at this cost, they have a
perfect right TO do SO. But as to the as
sumption that We have no right to enter
into this division discussion, it is simply
the height of impudence. We have not
only the right, but we shall always as
sumo the right, TO discuss in these col
umns all questions that interest the
public, whether they relate to this county,
any portion of it, or any other county.
The people of Los Angeles have an es-
pecial interest in the discussion, and we
do not propose to ask anybody IS
leave to take part in. The boy
totting spirit developed by our
neighbors is not one that we can
admire; but we care nothing for it. Our
right of discussion cannot be boycotted
away, and we intend to exerciGe that
right in fairly presenting to the people of
the whole county the strongest
reasons we can urge against
the contamination of division. The
figures we have given of the cost of
establishing and maintaining the new
county have not been successfully con-
troverted. They stand as fair index of
what the experimen will cost the tax.
payers. 1t is well worth while for the
email farmers of the southern end of the
county to consider whether they are
ready to double their taxes to crafty
local pride, county seat ambition and
lust for office.

THE San Francisco papers are over
hauling the financial feature OF the Sam
Jones meetings in that city. 1t seems
that J. D. Hammond, chairman of the
Jones committee, has asked the Trustees
OF the Mechanics Institute for rebate
on the rent bill. The usual charge is
500 per day for the great hall; but the
Trustees reduced this charge to $50 per
day, and Mr.. Hammond now asks for a
further rebate. The Trustees OF the In
stitute have refused to comply. The
Chronicle figures up that the receipts
amounted to IS, 900, and that the amount
expended could not have exceeded s., 500,
including $1,000 paid to Jones. The
question naturally asked is, What became
of the difference? and the Trustees are
anxious to know into whose pockets the
rebate for rent would go if it were al
lowed. At each and every meeting a
loud cry went up from Jones and his
managers for Money Money Money
and it was poured into their sacks with
unwonted liberality. If the Chronicles
figures are correct, the Jones engagement
has been very successful speculation
and somebody has got away with pot
of lucre.

Our great men who have been abroad
to teach the effete monarchies of Europe,
the almond-eyed Chinese of Asia and the
gwarthy Bengalese of India, the great
American game of baseball, have made
their home run, and arrived yesterday at
New York. They were accorded an en-
thue;astic reception. The United States
will take more exalted place
in the estimation of foreign peoples after
this. The exhibition of agility and
muscle of our distinguished representa-
tives will show them that Americans are
not the weak and effeminate race they
took them for. The physical develop
ment OF our double-nine has doubtless
created wholesome dread abroad of
nation which can produce such admirable
specimens of muscular perfection. Per-
hars there is one baleful effect which
may follow this tour of distinguished
citizens. When the people in the down
trodden, pauper-wage countries where
these twirlers have exhibited, learn that
the highest salaries paid in any profess
sion in this country is to those who excel
in The art of baseball, many of them will
learn how to play, perfect themselves by
practice, and come over here and glut
the baseball market. Then will our
highest and best" have to come down
from their Presidential salaries to ordi-
nary actors wages.

THERE lie before us as we write num-
Der of fish cased in bottle that perhaps

without m oney and without price, into

the 5th of April, in the current year of
grace 1889. Unfortunately, they we're in
n decom posed state, and were not at all
calculated to enhance the purity OF the
water of that neighborhood. The Water
Company which furnishes this fluid en-
joys a very valuable franchise, it has been
of great service to this community, but
it is not too much for the consumers to
expect and exact square and faithful
service from this company. There should
be system of filtration which ought to

will inevitably be great deal of sickness

No ONE is astonished that the President
has already given signs of breaking down
under the tremendous work pertaining to
his Office. Mr.. Endicott, who has just
interviewed Mr.. Harrison, is convinced
that some means will have to be devised
to relieve the Presidents of the terrific
pressure brought upon them by Office
seekers. To dispose OF the Executive
patronage is something that no constitu-
ton is strong enough to 90 through with
unscathed, and it is simply absurd for
any man in the Presidency to undertake
to exercise personal attention to appoint
ments outside of his Cabinet, the heads
OF Departments and the most important
Collectorships and Postmasterships in
the country. Whatever time he spends in
making other appointments will be at the
expense of his higher duties in directing
the policy of his Administration in it's
domestic affairs and foreign relations.

PHILADELPHIA, April 6. = Secretary
Tracy, of the Navy Department, to-day
inspected the rbor OF Philadelphia,
and afterwards visited the League Island
Navy Yard, making the trip on the city
tug "William S. Stokely." AS the Sec
retsry and the Stokely passed the new
cruiser,ss the Veruvius, the officers upon
that vessel saluted the Secretary with
dynamite guns, the first salute of the
kind ever given, and the first regular fir
ing Of the guns OF the cruiser. The usual
salute of nineteen guns to the Secretary
OF the Navy was fred, and the Stockley
responded with her whistle. At the Navy
Yard Captain Seeley, eommandant of the
station, received the Secretary and his
party. After inspecting and admiring
the new cruiser Yorktown, the Secretary
was shown over the island. The party
first visited the iron plating shop, where
the small boats of the Yorktown are be-
ing made ready, and then saw the mill
and steam-engine building. After in
specting these buildings, the Secretary
inspected the plans of the island and
Yacht.
