Chinese Curios.

An interesting company of society con-
noisseurs has visited a new collection of
Chinese rorcelains, jade and .curios at the
Fifth avenue galleries. The collection was
made up by H. Ballauf, e%1-consul of Nor
way and Sweden at Tientsin, China. The
exhibition was one of the most interesting
of its kind ever seen in this city.

Docking consista in cutting way a por-
ton of the horses tall joints SO that that

that they do not propose to wage war
against the servant who actually perform
the docking operation, but rather upon
the gentlemen who order it done. Messrs.
Widener and Elkins own some of the finest
horses to be seen On the park drives.
They offered to pay any fines the magis-
trate might impose, but the society Of
fcers protested, and the case will go to
court.

sylvania for the offense charged, and the
law provides that on conviction the Of

law as to the docking of tails. the arrest
having been made under the general Law
relating to cruelty to animals.

There is no end of the visions that might

Tha sonfh American Troubles

II IA almost impossible 70 foreshadow

como OF the troubles IN South America,
either as regards the fate Of the United
States Of Brazil, or The effect upon the
States bordering that republic. me
factors and Influences operating upon the
situation are complex in the extreme.
After sitting the conflicting news that
reaches ia, however, one thing Is reason
ably apparent. The revolt in the
State Of Rio Grande do Sui has. reached a
stage which, as well in It's object as IN us
proportions. carries it beyond the sphere
Of the average South American rebellion
II Is also reasonably apparent that fron
the standpoint Of racial constitution no

ents OF the confederation, and at hrs'
blush, il would seem, wisdom would nave

ended the troubles of the Central Brazil
ian Government? Hardly. The truth Is
the greater part Of South America seems 10
be in Volcanic condition. The bloody war
in Chile had not ended before widespread
d.saaection manifested itself in Brazil
and right on the heels Of the actual out
break in Rio Grande do Sui we have ru-
mors of other Brazilian States preparing

incipient rebellion in Uruguay. In TACT.

a new map, not only of Brazil but OF
much Of the contiguous country. Nor is
that all. IL is not impossible that with
the new map may come, at least so far as
Brazil is concerned, the realization that
the people were never more prosperous
and happy than when under imperial
government. In thelight Of recent events
il seems unquestionable that the prophets

1t is pleasant to think and talk about the
public debt. A week ago it was dull, If
not painful. subject. All is changed now.
The future OF it seems as bright as the
past has been gloomy. The people are
breathing an exhilarating atmosphere, and
congratulations are coming in from all
quarters,
II is particularly cheering to find that
the country people approve the settlement.
They compose the majority OF our voters
and pay the larger part OF the taxes OF this
Commonwealth, and no adjustment can be
final which meets their disspproval. Here,
however, q basis of agreement has been
reached which takes up the great accumu-
lations OF past-due interest, and yet i'm
poses no heavier burden upon us than dld
the oft-accepted RmDLEBEIGER BILL In
deed. Lieutenant-G Governor TYLER, who is
n uractical man of business besides having
had much experience in public affairs, says
that he can convince any Virginia audience
that il is a better bargain than the RIDDLE
BERGER bill
1t was. at any rate, the best arrangement
possible in view of all the circumstances.
The State consented to give the bond
holders all that she could spare out OF hei
revenues, and they agreed to meet hel
half way. That, ct least, is their view OF
the case.
We do earnestly believe that what has
been done is to the best interest OF oil the
taxpayers, and that if it Is ratified with
the hoped-for unanimity there never will
be anything about it to regret.
The letter OF General MALONE to which
we referred yesterday was probably writ

The Difference.

We would say 10 the Spirit OF tie TdIIey
that we are Of thu opinion that if we had
lived in the days of HASnLros, MADISON.
and their contemporaries we should have
said as they did, that conditional ratih-
cation Of the Federal Constitution would
DO no ratification at all And vet we
should also have held after 1888 that Viz
ginia had reserved the right to withdraw
from the Union. A conditional ratihca-
ton would have been nothing but q
promise to ratlfy. The work Of rati6cs-
ton would have been left 70 DO done after
the conditions of ratification had been
complied With. But the right TO secede
would have come into existence at the
time of the ratification Of the Constitution.
Il is as II man should agree 10 enter Co
partnership with another man upon con-
ditions. Ii would be after the conditions
hsd been fulfilled before he could be called
upon 70 enter into the co.partnership
But il be entered INTO co-partncrshir
and specified no limit to the time Of its ex
istence and made no provision for the
termination Of tho co-partnership he could
withdraw from Il at any time.
