Yankee Blade


Any one in the habit of perusing old let
tiers is struck with the tone Of great humil-
ity and Difference which pervades the CORE
spOndence of our ancestors. A few speci-
mems Of the style of beginning and ending
letters may prove interesting as In striking
contrast TO the laconic yours obedientiy,"
faithfully" or truly" of the present day.
1t would certainly be difficult TO match the
following subscription OF letter from the
Duke of Shrewsbury 10 Sir Thomas Ham,

very much value, your friendship, being

frequently one meets with bellieose sub
scTiptons, as In the case OF the Earl OF

General Cadogan, the officer la command
against the rebels In 17l6, writes to the
same countess, threatening her tenants
with military execution unless they deliver
up their arms, and concludes: 81 have the
honor to be with the greatest respect and

Yet, Notwithstanding his serviity, he
does not hesitate when writing TO the Sec

acterize the countess as q ''veritable she

FARE MORE JUDGES NEEDED?

We are evidently a very ltigious people.
when, in city of 500, 0O0 inhabitants. we
have dozen Superior Court Judges, be-
sides a number of other holders of the
judicial Office with a lower jurisdiction.

talent, business is greatly in arrears in some
of the courts, and attorneys are clamoring

and an agitation Of this kind ought 10 be
resisted until it is proved that the bench is
deficient ia strength. A rearrangement of
business, and rigorous insistence upon
cases being proceeded with, would probably
mend matters considerably. At present the
Judges are too apt to listen TO excuses. One
attorney is absent. and his brother
attorney mentions the fact, and the
proceedings are delayed. A lax sys-
TEN has grown up, which encourages
adjoUrnments of cases, aud even of the
court itself. upon very slight grounds 1t is
regrettable that there is so little fnality in
decisions. Appeals are carried from court
TO court on very frivolous grounds, that
strong Judges would frown upon. Should

in remarkable degree. Our present jury
system Is on its trial. Before enIarging the
Judiciary Of city already so well equipped
1t would be well 10 study the situation
thoroughly and find out how time is FILTERED

the practice of the Judges relying so much
upon shorthand transcripts Of evidence and
arguments is good one. A sound Judge

BAD POLITICS.

Concerning the selection of Tammany
leader for Senator the New York Herald
saws:
1t Is very bad politics, because, however strong
aud well intrenched Tammany may think itself.
u can't oppose public opinion with IMMUNITY. A
day Of reckoning comes "like a thief In the
night" and Tammany is just as dependent on
the confidence and votes of our citizens es any
other political organization Ii can't afford TO
play the despot In a matter Of this kind. If it
persists in It's present obstinate course II does SO
at its own peril.
The Herald is giving Tammany good ad-
vice. No political organization is so strong
that 1t can command the support OF the
public much longer than it deserves such
support. Murphy. the Tammany candidate
for Senator. is known mainly as one OF
Senator HIPS able assistants. lie Is past
master in modern politics. The Herald,
which by the way is friendly TO Tammany,
has discovered a current Of public opinion
against the selection of another Tammany
chief for Senator. Probably it would be
hard to find another 100000 voters in the
United States so easily controlled as the fol-
| lowers of Tammapy. Most of them obey
orders somewhat as soldiers do Still.
1ammany is not above the necessity OF
shaping its course somewhat in Difference
TO public opinion.

TO be largely defective in quality or mad

The Weapon of the Mafiaites.

Speaking of ,he Mafia," said A, L.
Rogers OF New Orleans, who is at the
Southern. there is a general belief that
their so-called favorite weapon, the s.iletto.
Is very dangerous kind of knife. The
true Italian and C0Tsican stiletto is prob
ably the most ineffective penetrating wea-
pom In the world. II has long blade, but
there is no edge at all, the steel being
round. and terminating ia a fine point The
blade can be compared to a very large
needle.
The fact that IL has no edge renders IL i'm
possible TO inf1ict cuts with it and it can
only be used for thrusting. Ii is also very
difficult to infict deep wounds. for the
blade cannot cut a passage for itself, but
must be forced through the tissues by main
strength. IL Is not too much to say that a
thrust delivered by any other kind Of knife,
the force OF the blows being equal, would
be more dangerous than stiletto wound
The Italians have at last recognized this
fact, and stiletto is a rare weapon among
them. They use knife that has long.
thin blade. but Is a dagger and not still
etto. In effectiveness il is not for an in
slant TO be compared with the American
bowie. Its one advantage is that great de-
gree OF penetration can he secured by a
weak blow, and as few OF the Italian roughs
are athletes. this probably Is the reason why
the long, narrow-bladed knife is used"

THE EXPERTS DEPARTURE

Colonel Morgan, whom the Railroad Com
missoners selected as an expert to report
on the fares and rates OF the Southern
Pacific, has wound up his business in
California and is on his way home.
The report with which he endeavored
10 edify the public, as well as the
Railroad Commissioners, might just as well
never have been written. No more useless
or failacious document was ever laid before
public body protesting to be DESTROYS of
Information. Il was evidently drawn up
with studied design Of assuring the public
that they have no grievance against the
railroad; that the company treats its GUS
toners fairly and might Justly increase its
rates. and that the Commissioners are quite
right In drawing their salaries and doing
nothing. An expert who takes this view of
the railroad situation In California merely
converts himself into a special pleading
lawyer for the company, and he does not
deserve to be paid dollar by the State for
his services. The railroad company should
pay him. not ths people. and 1t may be
hoHed that the Board Of Examiners will
have the courage to resist any raid Upon the
treasury.
The true criticism to pass upon this re-
bort is that it ignores the net cost for which

paralleed. If this could be done at one
third of the assumed cost OF the Southern
Pacific, which has lis stock very copiously
watered, then fair rates would mean a re-
turn upon the smaller amount Of capital.
1t is preposterous to mention that because
railroad has diluted its capital two or
three times over the public are to be
squeezed out OF all the traffic will bear to
support this jngglery. The Southern Pacific
contends that it cannot lower the rates. bat

Panama Railroad steamers are running In

our merchants the benefits of genuine COM

only one-third to one-fourth the weight of
the latter. Their cost is certainly greater,
but this is to some extent compensated for
by the facts that very little charcoal Is re-
Quirei in shoeing, that there Is no loss In
weight, and that the value OF the old ma
terial is the same as that of the new. In
making the shoes some skill is required. as
