MEXICO AND chilli.
A Rumor That the Former Favors
the Insurgents.

n hunOr InaC the FORMER FaVOrS
the Insurgents.
New YORK, May ga private letter
received in this city to-day from the
City of Mexico, written May 10 by a
business man who has ample facilities
for getting correct information, says
there is much reason to believe that the
Mexican authorities are quietly giving
aid to the Gillian insurgents. The ES-
meralda had been able to get all the coal
she wanted, and private 'adyices from
MaZatlan reported that war materials
brought from San Francisco had been
transferred there early this month to
ships belonging to the Gillian insul-
gents. The same letter mentions ru-
mors of secret treaty between Mexico
and San Salvador against Guatemala.
CITY OF MEXICO, via Galveston, May
26.-The Diario del Hogan publishes a
letter from Acapulco which says that
the CHILEAN inSurgent steamer ESmeral-
da on entering that port Saluted the
Mexican flag and that the Mexican gov
eminent in return Saluted the ESmeral-
da'S flag, thus making it an open ques-
ton whether this was recognition by
Mexico of the ChIlian insurgents. The
captain of the Esmeralda, in an interview
at Acapulco few days ago, said that it
was not his intention to take coal by
force, or ne would have done so before.
He also said he was not in hurry to
leave the port, but was waiting for
further instructions. One of the other
officers of the Esmeralda, in a converse
ion held in coffee house, said: eve
have some coal. and will soon have
more. The captain has a reason for
waiting, or he could and would have
gone ere this. The captain received a
number of long kilograms some days
ago."

AN ATTORNEY CAUGHT.

There was picnic in Judge Brills court
yesterday afternoon. The case on trial was
Steeg against The City Railway Company:
the witness on the stand, Mary Mitchell, and
the attorney interrogating, Harry Horn. 1t
was on cross-examination, and Harry was
plying the witness with all sorts of questions,
some of which Mary thought were what the
lawyers would term irrelevant and imma-
terial. On the direct examination Mary had
shown disposition to be irritable. and when
the cross came she was in fighting trim. She
had testified that she had been on the car
which brought about the accident to the
plaintiff, and that she was on her way down
town at the time.
Where were you going, ma'am?" inquired
Harry in his own blunt, suave way.

Mary.
Harry admitted that he was not, while
blushing under the warmth of Marys rising
choler.
Now, wasn't you going down town to
have a good timer piped Harry.
What do you name, sir!' shouted Mary,
visibly indignant.
Now, mas am, were you not going down
town to have good time:" responded
Harry.

he had Mary cornered.

THE MASSACHUSETTS IDEA.

The Massachusetts legislature has re-
pealed the law requiring the use of
tables, chairs, and some suggestion of
food in the use of intoxicants, although
the prohibition element opposed it. and
threatened to bolt the Republican ticket
in consequence. The statute was adopt
ed number of years ago, but was not
enforced until the past year. Its en-
forcement was more to interest the Pro-
hibitionists, and keep their active
minds from pressing annoying meas
ureS upon the dominant party, than for
any reformatory end. A singular fact
is brought out i'll this connection. The
investigation by the legislative commit
tee shows that the consumption of liquor
was larger in Boston, and the arrests
fewer, the past year under the enforce
ment of this law than they had been
previously. Still, the liquor interests
are credited with securing the repeal of
the law, and the opponents of the traffic
oppose it. The figures of the enlarged
traffic are not lmpeached. Observation
and experience show that men will
drink more when comfortably seated
than when rushed at sloppy counter,
especially when crackers or other eat
ableS are used between drinks. The
use of free lunches is to induce larger
absorption of the liquids. Then why
should the temperance element wish to
continue a process that promoted
drinking? Perhaps they concluded
that the reduction in open inebri-
ETY. that was shown in the ar
rests was some gain, but more
likely they opposed the repeal because
1t was favored by the liquor dealers.
Reformers frequently have that sort of
basis for their impulses. No explana-
ton is given of the dislike of the deal
ers to the law, unless that it involved
more expense for furniture and attend
ance. Some three thousand young men
who served as walters are to be in need
of other occupation in consequence.
But there are new lands open to settle
ment out in Dakota and other sections,
and it will be the making of these
young fellows to go out there and grow
up with the country. Possibly the
most weighty element IN this revival of
the bar in Massachusetts, is its relation
to the free lunch. That is the reliance
of an exceedingly temperate class.

DOES NOT WORK WE'LL.

The Peoples party is yet too young to
be accountable for acts, but the cast of
its mind, as observed, is toward increas-
ing the scope and duties of the govern
ment. That is the wrong direction for
this side Of the water. at least. In the
management OF railways, for instance,
the illustrations scattered about the
world are not encouraging. The argu-
ment that the government should be
able to operate railways as we'll as the
postal department. and that 1t can COM
mand capable agents as we'll as any cor
poration, may be defenSible; but the al
legged experience of other countries, if
the trials have been had under
favorable conditions, should be worth
more than a plausible theory. No
reference is had to the objec-
tons growing out of an enormous
extension of government patronage.
AS a business proposition only. it is be-
iieved to be found, as rule, that the
government control does not produce
satisfactory results. Most of the rail
roads in Australia have been operated
by the government with very unfavora-
bic results, both as regards the charac-
ter of the service and returns upon their
cost. That land has been showing its
appreciation of the Improvement in gov
eminent affairs, and it is to be presumed
that the officials average we'll for hon
esty and capability; but they have failed
to make the roads pay interest on the
capital invested in them. The most re-
cent data obtainable show that in
Victoria the railways paid $50 per
cent on money borrowed at 4.2O per
cent; in Queensland they paid 2.1O on
4.21 per cent money; in New South
Wales $50 on money borrowed at 3.9l
per cent; South Australia is the only
one that seemed to have left a margin,
with 5.26 per cent on 4.0S per cent
money. The sparseness of population
may have had something to do with the
result. 1t is not, however, understood
that the watering of stock is an extern
sive feature III railway matters there.
1t is not insisted that the experience in
Australia is quite conclusive as to the
efficiency and economy of government
control, but the Squint is in that direc-
ton. 1t is on the line of the old pater-
nallsm in government, like the protect
i've tariff.

DEGENERATE SENTIMENT.

At one of the recent gatherings of re-
ligious experts in the East to doctor up
ailments in the creeds, the clerical
manager urgently importuned all the
ladies to bring homemade cakes, for the
refreshment, ostensibly, of the assisting
clergymen and delegates in their fields
of labor. Some of the grossly secular
outsiders find vent for their depravity
in the odious insinuation that the lives
of the visitors would be doubly endaD-
gered. Attempts to consume the pro-
auctions could not be graciously
averted, and this would peril their
stomachs. Then, in the heat of debate
over dogmas and definitions of the I'M
movable, these culinary products
might become flying arguments, Undue
ing fractured heads. The fact that
such imputations appear in the East
without protest shows the low state of
domestic and theological sentiment that
prevails there.

PLATFORM RATIFICATION.
Kansas Alliances Will Vote on the
Cincinnati Work.

TOPEKA, Kan, May 26.-The Farm
ers' Alliance of Kansas is making prep
arations for grand ratification of the
Cincinnati conference work. 1t is not
to be in the old-time way, of a grand
mass meeting with brass bands, orators,
aud torchlight professions; but at the
regular meeting of 5000 sub-alliances
of the state this week and next, the
work of the Cincinnati conference will
be discussed and the various planks of
the platform will be separately consid-
cred; vote will then be taken on the
platform as whole and the report will
be forwarded to headquarters and to
reform papers. The object of this form
of ratification is to show the other
states the loyalty of Kansas to the third
party movement. The sub-alliances are
charged to be very deliberate in their
action and to give every proposition a
thorough examination and discussion,
and not to take the vote until the whole
work has been thoroughly canvaSsed.

The Jews of Russia.

To the Editor of the Globe.
Is it not about time that the civilized
world should protest against the brutal.
inhuman and un-Christian conduct of
tht Russian government as shown in
its treatment of the Jewish people of
that country?
Many years ago it was customary for
all countries TO protest against the
wrongs of human slavery in America,
but the cruelty and wrong inflicted
upon the slaves was no more unjust and
brutal than the treatment awarded the
Jews by government professedly
Christian. The only crime committed
by these people is the entertaining of

tablished church, They are peacable.

High-Priced Deceit.

CHICAGO. May 26.-J. Blackburn
Jones, a lawyer, to-day began suit
against Patrick Ii. Rice, capitalist, for
$4,000 damages, for deceit. Jones al
leges that Rice told him that he had an
option on the Valentine Blatz Brewing
c0mpany's plant, at Milwaukee, for
$4,000, 900, aud that if he (Jones) could
sell the property for more than sum,
they would divide the profit. Jones al
leges that he negotiated a sale for
s., 900, but that the Blatz company
repudiated Rice's alleged option and
sold the property for s., 100, 900, and
that Rice allowed his suit for commits
sions on the sale to be dismissed, hence
