The dives are determined to defy de-
cency and the law. Not even the shooting
of one of the proprietors of den on
Wednesday phases the effrontery of these
resorts for the lswless. Some of the worst
places which operate as a barricade
across streets at certain hours, openly
manifest their contempt for protest
against the infamy. The dive-keepers
cannot do better than adopt the con-
temptuous policy. To have such de-
fiance flung in the faces of the people
may arouse them to the settling of the
question-"Who rules, the people or the
keepers of thieves resorts?' In no other
city,swe venture to assert, would such
holes as those referred to be permitted for
a single hour upon the chief business
streets. They would at least be driven to
back and disreputable streets, where
their nightly spewing out of ruffians,
Migrants and criminals would not prove
an obstacle to passage by the wives and
daughters of citizens. How the business
men on business streets can calmly
submit to have the blockade of the ave-
nues to their shops continued passes COM
prehension. AS it is now, high stone
wall across K street would not more
effectually cut off foot travel through it
on the part of women and children. Yet
K street is supposed TO be a chief business
highway of the Capital City.
Since the above was written the Police
Commissioners have taken up the dive
question, and decided to ask the Board of
Trustees to revoke the licenses of four of
the worst Of these dens. This action merits
and will receive the warmest commenda-
ton of all decent people. The board could,
without difficulty, name several other
places almost as bad as those designated.

Their idea is said to be to establish there
a mammoth gaming establishment, under

SOME of the San Francisco newspapers
have just renewed their old line of def
ance regarding the advertisement of lot
teries. For two or three years past they
have not so boldly defied the law as pre-
viously. Now. however, under the thin
nest of DISCUSSES the advertisements of a
so-called ice company are being pub
lished, which, however. clearly indicate
that they are lottery advertisements and
intended to advise where tickets in lot
teries can be purchased. The law MAX
ing it crime to advertise lotteries is still
upon the statute books of California. 1t
is so clear and explicit that evasion of it
is hardly possible. 1t remains to be seen
if the San Francisco authorities, which
pursue lottery ticket sellers and Chinese
lottery operators so sharply, will have the
courage to prosecute the newspapers also,
which on one page complain so bitterly
Of non-observance of the laws and the
contempt of the people for them, and
upon another page proceed to fiagrantly
break and defy law of the Penal Code.
How can the people be blamed for law
lessness when these opponents of public
opinion defiantly set the laws at naught
IT is incomprehensible that the Gar
of Russia is blind to the famine
distress in his country. Here we have
the officers of his army raising funds to
relieve the starving, the United States
preparing a ship of the navy to carry
over the supplies donated by our own
people, and Germany directing its Con-
suls to afford relief, yet the Gar angrily
declares that there is no suffering, except
such as is caused by shortage in crops
in limited districts, and that his Govern
ment is able to relieve by transfer of
produce from districts having surplus.
If the Gar is sincere and really believes
there is not sufficient cause for the exer-
else of the charitable impulse in behalf Of
the peasants of southern Russia, it goes
to prove that he is, as has been so often
charged, hedged in by his Cabinet and
household officials, that he is kept in
ignorance of the physical and political
condition of his subjects - practically
sequestered from his countrymen, though
living in their midst. If that is his real
condition it goes far to account for great
deal of what has been termed stubborn
ness and indifference in his character.
THE death of Sir William A. White
English Minister to Turkey-last week,
removed one of the most accomplished di-
plomats and courageous men in the serv-
ice of Great Britain. He was man born
to politics and diplomatic service, for he
possessed all the elements from early
manhood that go to make up the model
foreign minister.

The Road Question,

A reader OF the INrELLIGEScER, writ
ing OF tho important subject. OF good
roads,, makes some strong points,
among them that road building should
be under the supervision Of competent
engineers, that q good foundation is in
dispensable, that wagon tires must be
wide.
A lawyer would not be expected to
make good shoes. It is as unreason-
able to expect q farmer to know how to
lay out goodroads. Nobody thinks Of
building a house without suitable
foundation. Until recently almost
everybody thought unnecessary to lay
q foundation under road. Thenarrow
tire IS the enemy Of any good road. In
Europe, where the best roads 'arc to be
seen, andthe heaviest burdens are hauled
with the least horsepower and Mt the
lowest cost generally, wide tires arc re-
quired and there is no appeal.
Town and country arc alike interested
in this subject, which in this country is

POINTS

Ex-Secretary Hugh McCulloch, when:
in the treasury, bought a farm in Nary
land, about ten miles from Washington
where the family life is largely spent.
Mary McCulloch, tho child OF his old
age, inherits the same taste for outdoor.
and country life that her father and:
mother have always had. She is not.
only a capital horsewoman and pro-
ticlent in outdoor sports, but is a lover
OF nature and studious observer Of the
curious and unfamiliar life OF beasts,
birds, insects and plants.
The princess OF Hohcnlohe shares
alike with all members, OF the class in
the school for the training of military
nurses established by her in Strasburg,
in everything they are called on to do
from binding q broken leg to answering
the test questions OF the examining
corps OF physicians. The princess is 4
woman Of sixty, OF. strong nerves and
splendid health, an excellent shot, be-
ing especially fond of a bear hunt, and
q fine horsewoman.
Among the confederate veterans at
the New Orleans reunion was Gen. John
Mcintosh Kell, who was second in COM
mand under Admiral Scmmcs on tho
Alabama, and is now adjutant general
of Georgia. Although an old man, no
is still young in spirits and brisk, in
movement. He wns in the United
States navy for twenty years before the
war.
The tribunals Of Paris have been
again occupied with the complicated
relations existing between Georges
Hugo, the grandson OF the poet, and the
money-lenders to whom he had been an
easy victim until his family put his
affairs in tho hands OF a judiciary coun-
Gil.

sundry UNDERSTANDINGS.

1t is now understood that the Presi-
dent and General Alger understand
each other. The understanding seems
to be that the President will be nomi-
mated at Minneapolis. OF course this
carries with it the other harmonious
understanding that General Alger will
not DO nominated at the'samo time and
place for the anne office.
General Algcr is all right, but tho
country has need OF the Presidents SER
vices for four years more. His address
will be Executive Mansion, Washing
ton, D. G., until March 4, 1897, by
which time another great and good Re-
publican will DO on hand to relieve him
OF the cares Of his high office.

BREAKFAST BUDGET,

According to a Boston man who has
been therc, hundreds Of Americans
who went to tho Argentine Republic
at the time Of the boom thore aro com.
ing homo disguised. About five years
ago, when tho golden era seemed to
iavo struck the Republic, thousands OF
adventurous young mon and young wo.
men wont there from tho Now England
and other Eastern states. Tho high
wages offered presented a temptation
which lured oven tho specialized New
England 'schoolmarm' from her native
hills, and she, too, joined tho process
sion. Buenos Ayres and other cities
were not overrun with women, and
many Of the American girls were wood
and won by native Argentines. But
most OF them have come, back. Tho
country is in an almost chaotic condi-
tiou, and all lines of employment are
overcrowded and underpaid.
The vexed question Of what is the
highest mountain in North America
has been determined in favor OF st.
Elias. For a time it seemed as II ORR
zaba, in Mexico, was to carry of the
palm, and there were loud claims on be.
half OF Mount Whitney. the Hottest
summit in tho Sierra Nevadas OF Cali.
fornia. But by trigonometrical meas.
urements, in which there is not moro
than q mere ~trining error, St. Elias has
been fixed to be 1900 feet high, thus
disposing Of tho vague guesses which
estimated its loftiness all the way from
$4,000 feet to 10000 feet. :
An Australian pioneer has Just died.
Mr.. Wren Ellis was the first. man to lay
a brick in South Australia, while no and
his wife were the first jewellers in North
Adelaide Their abode consisted OF d
square hole dug i'll the earth some three
feet deep. and tho roof was made OF
PUSHES. Mr.. Ellis followed farming pur.
suits for some time, making a speciality
OF dairy produce. Afterwards, in AIDE
laide, he turned his attention to build
ing operations, and Of course amassed q
considerable fortune.
Considerable swindling has been per.
petrated in connection with the open
ing OF the Sisseton Indian reservation.
Persons calling themselves attorneys
have advertised all over tho country
that for sos they would obtain farms for
their customers without the necessity
OF settlement. There is so little knowl-
edge OF the land laws in the East that
neutrality-suspicious. have been caught
in this snare.
Mrs. Annie Roush, an old woman OF
West Virginia, who has just died at the
age OF LOG years, is said to have been the
head of the largest family in the world,
having had at least 1000 descendants.
Her grandchildren Numbered 1876 and
her great-grandchildren 500.
Prolonged borings have failed to dis
cover any rock under the site for the
newpublic library building in Chicago
and there is grave doubt whether d
foundation can be constructed which
will uphold the proposed building.

THE PRICE OF SUGAR.

Also tho Profit OF tho Combine-Tfe
Trust May Hoar Something Drop.
Philadelphia Pros.
The reduction Of $40 Of n cent which
has taken place in the past two months
on tho raw material OF the trust would
amount on its annual MEETINGS to $lO,.
100000 at the lowest estimate. II
allowance is made for the increasc OF
consumption, tho removal of compe-
tition and tho reduced cost OF manufac-
ture duo. to Capitalization, we do not
believe anyone would place the current
profit due to this reduction in the
price OF raw material at less than q
round 100000 4 month. Continued
through the year, such profits would be
double the past dividends Of tho trust,
and be equal 10 l6 per cent on its
capital. 5,e
Most people would be. satisfied with
this profit. Anyone ought to be. Since
negotiations began for the purchase OF
the retineries in this city, the price OF
refined sugar has, however, advanced
half a cent pound, or from 4 to ~
cents'a pound. r
This is an addition to the profits OF
the Sugar Trust on its annual MEETINGS
OF $lG,S00,0O a year, or Sl,400,OOO a
month. In all tho reduction in tho
cost OF raw material and tho advance in
the price ofgthe finished product stand
for q profit OF from s., 000, 900 to S2,400,-
O0O,!a month, or for a year to about SO
percent on the capital OF the trust.
To the reduction in the cost Of the
raw material, falling as it does on the
planters OF Cuba and the West Indias,
no one is likely to object, but the trust
makes, a very serious blunder, if it
imagines the advance in refined sugar
will not DO resented. A profit OF a
quarter OF q cent a pound, or twice tho
profit under competition in 1890, would
be a heavy gain, and the reduction in
raw sugar joined in the old profit would
give this. A profit OF from three-quar-
tiers to a cent a pound is certain to raise
the question as o the size Of the present
duty on refined sugar.
