Wearing Twelve Hats at Once.

"Thc Indian agents" said a well-in-
formed woman who has spent much Of
her life in the far West, "when they do
not steal, distribute supplies to the tribes
in q most reckless fashion. I remember
on one occasion consignment of white
felt hats was to be distributed to tribe
near our station, and the agent, instead
of seeing that each member OF the tribe
received hat, handed over pile of a
dozen to one of the chiefs, who, suppos.
ing they formed one highly ornate hat,
the tops fitting closely into each other,
gave them to his favorte squaw, who.
in turn, placed tho whole dozen upon the
head of her Oldest boy. The effect was
ludicrous enough, but when we consider
that eleven suffering red men went
through the winter with bare heads in
consequence, the joke was not altogether
so laughable as the agent seemed to
think. '-Nep York Sun.

THE seizure of Pacific Mail steamer
by San Salvador authorities may involve
the Government in serious dispute with
the Central American State. The steamer
was taken for departing from port with
out permit. This she did because the
authorities by refusal TO permit natives to
work in loading the ship at night, broke
up her schedule time and gave undue adj
vantage to her rivals. Indeed it is asserted
that had the Captain not departed as he
did, and refused to load certain goods
which would have consumed too much
time if handled only by daylight, he
would have forfeited his mail carrying
contracts. The action of the San Saliva
dor authorities was petty, and deserves to
be spoken of and acted upon by the
United States Government with some
severity. These little Central American
States have very frequently taken occa-
sion to air their limited authority to the
detrimeut of our commerce. OF course
the Captain of the steamer violated port
regulation, but not one of special impor-
tance, and it was seemingly necessity
that he should do SO. The imposition of
a fine he probably expected and was pre-
pared to meet. He was between two
dangers and chose the least, but his
offense scarcely merited such severe
penalty as has been inflicted.

The New York Herald is alarmed at
the increase of murders. 1t asks, "Is
the penalty of the law for the crime no
deterrent? ?" 1t proceeds to answer the
question by saying, ''Yes, when the
punishment is inflicted with celerity, but
it is the laws delay that shears the
penalty of the terror it ought to inspire"
That the Herald is sound in this ex-
preston is true. But that is not all; the
penalty has been negatived very much
by the publicity and sensationalism of
the executions. 1t is easily shown that
the method of carrying into effect the
judgments of tho courts in murder cases,
in most of the States, inspires very little
fear-indeed, that it invites men of GER
tain grade to pose in dramatic attitude,
and that in consequence the scatfOld has
few terrors for the hardened classes.
| When, however, as is now done in New
York, the execution is made rigidly
| private, sensational reports of it are pro-
hibited, and all opportunity for the con-
demned to strike attitudes and invoke
sentimental sympathy is cut Off, the
| death penalty becomes truly deterrent.
If the New York system is adopted in all
the States we believe that the effect will
be to greatly decrease the aggregate of
murders in this country.

skirt and other dress evils. The result
has been that our women have been laced
up the tighter, malformed the more by
the imperious dressmaker, who refuses
to fit dress except over corset indeed,
our women have been forbidden to open
their ears to medical wisdom, and as alb
ject slaves of fashion they have obeyed.
No, the resolution at Chautauqua to
wear short skirt reaching halfway be-
low the knee, with riding-boots or over
CATERS, will not amount to anything A
few, very few women will appear in
the costume for few days and that will
be the end of it all. There is but one de-
cree that will prove effective and it must
emanate from the throne room offashion,
from that mysterious chamber, the up
per house of which is in Paris and the
lower house of which sits in Vienna-the
autocratic power, whatever it is, that
issues the edicts of fashion. Until that
does obeisance to the doctors, neither
Chautauquans nor other reformers need
entertain hope.

THE correspondent of one San Fran
cisco paper writing from "all along the
lines" in Chile, declares that unless the
insurgents can muster 10000 men well
armed, they cannot even scratch the hide
of the Government army; that Balma-
ceda is admirably equipped to crush the
rebellion; that his army is loyal, strong,
we'll armed and full of anxiety to fight:
that the rebel forces are weak, poorly
armed and disheartened; that, indeed, all
indications point to Balmaceda's speedy
success. On the same day another jour
nal of the same city publishes notes from
its Iquique correspondent declaring that
the insurgent forces are in admirable
condition, finely armed, full Of enthusi-
asm, well disciplined, believe God to be
on their side, and that the army is being
constantly swelled by volunteering, and
is ready for an assault upon Balmaceda
with all the prospects of success appar-
enr, while Balmaceda's forces are weak,
dispirited and ready to desert. The read
ers of news with such conflicting state
ments made are in the position Of hung
jury. The conflicting tales remind us OF
the contradictory reports that SO per-
picked the people during the American
Rebellion. How presumably impartial
| correspondents on the same ground can
send such dissimilar reports of matters
open to both, is unexplainable on
grounds compatible with the honor OF
both men.

KENTUCKY AND THE LOTTERY.

Kentucky for some thirty-five years
licensed lotteries. She tried the expert
ment in all its ftlllness. Lotteries under
the wing of that State were run in several
OF the chief cities, and no limit was put
upon them beyond the percentage for
charters that they paid to the State institu-
tions.
1t is certain, therefore, that the people
OF Kentucky know all about the lottery
business, precisely its effect upon COM
munities, just what can be said for
license system and all that can be ad-
vanced against il. With this intimate
knowledge and long experience they
went to the polls ten days or so ago, and
voted upon the adoption of a new Con-
stitution. One of the clauses passed upon
was prohibition of lottery drawings or
the sale of lottery tickets in the State.
The section is so framed that it is self
executing, and it is impossible for the
Legislature by neglect or action to neg
ative the provision, or prevent its en-
forcement. This strong provision which
largely usurps legislative function, at
least elbows the Legislature out of the
way, was adopted by an overwhelming
majority-in fact, it was adopted with
practical unanimity.
The Constitution of Kentucky, there
fore, shuts lotteries of all kinds out of that
State, no matter how much of disguise
they wear. Nothing can reinstate them
except a constitutional revolution-an
amendment, or the adoption of new
State charter. To those who have advo-
Gated the licensing of lotteries in this and
other States, as the best regulative means,
and because of the alleged ''impossibility
Of suppressing this form of gaming," the
testimony of the Kentucky election must
come as a complete refutation of their
ideas and theories. If there is any
answer to be made to people who have
tried lottery liberty for nearly two score
years, and have by overwhelming vote
declared it evil, and its chartering a huge
folly, we should very much like to hear
what it is.

A RATHER amusing phase of the Behr-
ing Sea involvement is developing on the
Russian side ofthe water. Poachers in that
portion ofthe sea the Russian revenue ma
rine pounce upon promptly and marshal
them into port for confiscation of their
cargo and boats. There is no halting for
diplomatic correspondence on the subject
between st. Petersburg and London.
There is no agreement to a truce pending
adjustment of claims. In fact, England
does not even think of proposing to Rus
sia to keep hands off. Now just what
difference the supposititious line from the
center of Behring Strait to point short
distance from the westernmost land of
Copper Island makes in the seal-taking
matter, we cannot discover. East of that
marine boundary, marking out our pur-
chase of 1867, no nation makes any claim
of right to take seals without Russian per-
mission. 4 single inch this side of the
boundary, and there are all sorts of impu-
dent assertions by Canadian shippers of
right to take seals, and when the United
States warns them to desist from their
poaching, the two great nations, England
and the United States, enter into tiresome
diplomatic correspondence and conten-
tion, and wind up with an agreed truce
until an examination of the situation can
be made. How is it that the Russian
seizures do not roll British blood? How
comes it that there is so much sucking
dove miIdness in the one case, and such a
roaring Of lions in the other? For assur-
edly the waters are the same; the juris-
dictions of Russia and the United States
are as alike as two peas; the seals are the
same in origin and habit; the methods of
taking them do not differ. In fact, the
only difference in the poaching is, appar-
emily, that it is Russia that objects in the
one case, and the United States in the
other
