NEW ORLEANS, La, August 27.-Ihe
betting has begun mere but Is still very
light on the individuals because OF a
difficulty in coming TO an agreement

Is slightly the favorite to-day on &C
count OF eastern backing. Dixon Is the
favorite at 3 TO l and more asked, aud
Sullivan Is > 10 l. A good deal OF
money was put up IN the pool rooms to-
day, mainly on the combinations, out
generally in small bets OF from So
10 500.
Some money Is coming here from the
north TO invest in bets. Mr. Theodore
Peterson, ex-President Of the Olympic

PATRIOTISM MISUNDERSTOOD.

There has been great deal of ridiculous
and mistaken talk about patriotism in the
papers supporting the bellicose party in
the Chile question. The writers would
have us believe that patriotism consists In
an attempt to bully and browbeat state,
infinitely weaker than our own, into an
unqualified and abject apology for an
incident still under its consideration and
already described by it as deplorabie.
They maintain that in this high-handed
way alone can the national honor be
satisfied.
Patriotism is love of ones country
involving sincere effort for what IS
ultimately conducive to the national well
fare The Chilean Government is serl-
ously investigating the affair, the Chilean
newspapers are all for peace, and if there
is party in Chile desirous of war it is
only the dregs of the populace and will be
disregarded in the decisions arrived at.
Misrepresentation have been made to
our Cabinet and there are those among US
who are anxious for strife for the further
ance of their own ends. All this should
lead true patriots to weigh well the evidence
on both sides, and to remember that dig
nifty is never enhanced by hasty action.
We are great enough to stand before the
world in calm expectation of redress, and
those who wish to hurry matters unduiy
are prone to lower the standard the
Nation has set up for magnanimous set
tlement of international disputes. We
can well afford to give Chile time for an
honorable settlement of the points at
issue; since the longer this period OF
quiescence is the greater becomes the
chance of peaceful finale, and if war
must come the more complete will be our
preparations. The enormous expense of
money and life involved in war, even
against Chile, cannot be too seriously con-
sidered, and the greater the amount OF
considers ton it receives the more promis-
ing is the possibility of its avoidance.
If the journals so Justify giving vent to
war whoops would devote little of their
superfuous energy TO the redress of
serious internal evils, they would be more
patriotic and their aim would be worthy
of attainment.

TNJUSE 10 WHISKY

1t is unkind and Inaccurate of the New
\ ork Commercial AdUeTtiser to insinuate
that the Presidents alleged bellicusity is
the direct result Of his acquaintance with
the barrel of Scotch whisky which Mr..
Carnegie sent TO the White House re-
Gently. According to tie practical and
theoretical evidence accumulated Oh the
subject, the effect of good whisky, taken
in that moderation which We feel sure
characterizes the Presidents potations, is
to enlarge the heart and swell the bunp
OF beneyolence. 1t does not matter
whether the whisky shall have been dis
tiled IN Scotland or Ireland or beside the

has happened-so long as it is the genuine

WISELY ABANDONED.

There is satisfaction in the news that
the latest variation Of tie Arctic folly, in
the shape of Nordenskjolds expedition
to explore the Antarctic polar regions, has
been given up. The degree to which the
expedition took shape was in the PROPOSE
ton of GOthenburg manufacturer to
give $4,000 to it provided $4,000 more
was raised in Australia. The practical
Australians declined to spend money in
risking the lives Of brave men on profit
less search-perhaps because no provision
was made for the obvious necessity of
rescuing the explorers.
The Antarctic scheme has therefore been
given up, and that is the best termination
possible for it Wilkes and Ross in their
explorations told all that is necessary to
know Of these regions. Each found
vast field of ice, beyond which both be-
lieved there might be continent And
while the continent is decided uncer-
tainty the ice-pack is hard, cold and
tangible fact which abolishes the
duty of surmounting it. There is
even less justification for Antarctic
exploration than for Arctic. For some
centuries navigators penetrated the latter
region in pursuit of the hoped-for North
west Passage by which commerce might
reach the Pacific without the twenty
thousand mile voyage around South Amer
ica The Southern passage has always
been open, and the centuries of explora-
ton from Hudson down to Greeley have
demonstrated that there Is no gain to the
sum of human knowledge to be wrested
from those frozen regions equal in import
ance to the loss of life it costs to discover
it.
The people who sent out the exploring
party, now in the Arctic, should provide
for bringing it back, and after that the
Polar regions North and South should be
left undisturbed in their icy splendors

THE LATEST FRENCH FARCE.

French Deputies must be sadly wanting
in sense of hunor or they would abstain
from such ridiculous foliies as make them
the Laughing stock Of the civilized world.
The Guello is now regarded by most peo-
pie of sense as an obsolete and foolish
custom; yet it is still recognized by French
politicians and journalists.
When mans sense of honor permits
him TO hold a Geographic consultation
with his party chief, and then to issue a
challenge in opposition to the advice Of
that chief, nothing is left but to laugh at
him. When he goes further and sends cut
challenge in which he himself chooses
the weapons and conditions of the
meeting, one can cniy pity his iEiatuation.

severely wounded and he musG De either a

APARISIAN PUZZLE.

The verdict of Paris upon Mascagni'S
"Cavalleria Rusticana" is a surprise.
Paris thinks the opera which almost all
the rest of the world has praisedis rubbish.
A couple of nights ago "Cavalleria Rusti-
cana was played for the first time in
Paris. 1t was received with derision, we
are told, and the critics declare the music
to be trivial aud vulgar and the orchestra
tion worthy only OF pupil in the Paris
conservatory. The artists are said to have
been entirely competent, 80 that the failure
of the opera cannot he attributed to the
cast What IS the matter with Paris or the
public CT he great cities where "Cavalleria
RuBtioana" has been hailed as master
piece? Who are the critics of weight?
The Italians will attribute the unfavorable
reception Of Mascagni in Paris to national
envy and hatred, but that will hardly do,
for Paris accepted "Lohengrin" from the
still more odious Germans.
There has been singular difference of
opinion in sundry matters relating to Mas
cagni's work Some singers have de-
clared lis music very difficult, and other
singers of equally high standing have said
that they wished for no softer relaxation
than they found in "Cavalleria. But
about the popular acceptance of the opera
in this country and in the old world there
is no doubt whatever. 1t is as opposed to
this consensus Of approval that the
Partisan attitude becomes interesting.

WINTER, AT THE OLD STAND.

The cold weather will be fatal to a
theory which has been made a good deal
Of pet in these parts Of late. The theory
in question is that this continent no longer
was to be visited by extremely cold win
terS with much snow. Before it is forgot
ten it is well TO revert to the positive de-
termination of the climate question but
a brief while ago by lots of weather ex-
perts. They showed us conclusively only
last fall that an old-fashioned winter was
no longer possibility. The precise cause
for the radical change in the climate sci
entists and seers could not tell, but they
patched together very pretty set of con-
tributing influences, including all sorts of
oceanic and atmospheric currents. The
moon was accused of having "a pull" with
the weather, and as for the sun the mean
est insinuations as to his irregular habits
were banded about
Now it is condition and not a theory
that confronts us. A gigantic surplus of
trigidity is in the treasury, so to speak,
and unlike most SURPRISES it cannot be
dissipated with ease. The quality of the
weather is calculated to satisfy the stern

est stickler for low temperature as trade
mark of genuine winter. The thermome-
tiers in all sections of the country have
had their bulbs full attending to business,
and below zero has no longer an unfamil-
lar sound in this vicinity. Forty degrees
below zero in the Northwest, deep snow
over large part of the continent, an un-
usual cold wave in the Southern States,
and more or less ice and snow from the
Texas border upward-these are convinc-
ing symptoms Of winter in its pristine
shape There is no mistaking January
snow for May, as has been possible in the
past three or four years. The idea that
mild winters had become national insti-
tuition is exploded.
Perhaps, as accurate records of the
seasons accumulate, it will be found that
the variations of the climate proceed un-
der a system as well defined as that OF any
other part of the universe, but at present
all we can tell with certainty is that the
weather is mighty onsartain" thing.

UNSTABLE EQUILIBRIUM.

The insecurity of government in Rio
Janeiro may be judged from the amount
of alarm caused by the success of a
hundred and sixty convicts in escaping,
overpowering their guards, seizing the
weapons of their late controllers, captur-
ing two forts, and demanding the REIN
statement of Dictator General da Fonseca.
This gentlemanis, so far as known, entirely
free from responsibility for the outbreak
and is not likely to be proud of his latest
supporters. But the fact that escaped
convicts, instead of being content to secure
their freedom, should have the audacity
to take aggressive measures for political
revolution throws a bright light on the

THE BLUE LAW CRUSADE.
what OF Good win Resute

fl-t 10
Warren Mirror.l *
Supposing that the Law and Order Society
should win the victory in the fight against
the Sunday newspapers Of Pittsburg-whas
will have been gained by the triumph VIII
the city be any better of on that acconntS3
Will the people be beneftedf II so, in what
respectf About the only thing that will have
been accomplished of any consequences will
be to deprive the publishers of their profit,
and the loss of considerable revenue TO the
newsboys. Their ringing voces will have
been silenced, and perhaps, in that respect
order will have been established. The agi-
tation may result in the repeal of law,
which, a century ago, could be enforced be-
cause public sentiment, to greater degree
than now, supported it. And in the event OF
a repeal of the law, the Law and Order Soci-
ETY. will have done, indirectly, service to
the State.
With the present demand for the Sunday
newspapers, an attempt to prohibit their
publication will be futile. When 1t no
longer pays to print them their circulation
will be discontinued. And that will be.when
there is a public sentiment against the pub
lication and sale. No doubt the majority of
the people care little whether we have Sun
day papers or not and other thousands de-
mand them. In case of q test, the former
would undoubtedly unite with the latter.
What good can come of the agitation does
not readily appear. To carry ito its logical
results would overturn our social fabric for
it would have extended farther than to the
mere publication of a newspaper, and might
affect the social and family relations of the
individuals who are members of the Law
and Order Society. While we favor the
preservation of our Sabbath intact we be-
lieve that all such movements in which the
Law and Order Society OF Pittsburg is en-
gagged are calculated to create q sentiment
against the Sabbath.
