a picture which Jovius had placed in q
gallery of notable people which he had
formed in his villa at Lake Como. The
collection is now scattered, but the por

An Englishman named GEORGE MoRHAu.
who spent last year In tho republic OF Hondu-
ras. has loft that country with a great con-
tempt for its people. The worst thing he has
to soy against them is that they are a very con-
oeited set. and that, like the Chilians, they
imagine their country the greatest on earth
and themselves the greatest people," But
surely Mr.. GEORGE MoREAu must have OBJ
served. in the course Of his travels. that there
are several other countries besides Honduras
In which the people entertain the same kind Of
opinion about themselves. Take the English.
for example. or. to give still further illustra-
tions. take the French or the Germans or the
Italians or the Spaniards or the Russians or
the Turks. Travel as far as Asia and take the
Chinese. not to speak OF the Thibetan3 and
other nations. While advancing to yet another
continent. look at the Uruguayans the Para
guayans. the Braziians. Ecuadorians. vene-
zuelans. Colombians. Peruvians. and Argen-
tines. Aye. even the people OF the United
States Of North America think something Of
their country and Of themselves and OF the
great continental metropolis of New York.
Let not Mr.. MoREAU. therefore. DO too hard
upon the Hondurasians for taking patriotic
views Of the republic OF Honduras and its
galantuomos.

Mr.. ROBERT LOWE. 1t had the effect OF
upsetting the GLADSTONE Cabinet. but the
DERBY DIsRAELI Ministry which succeeded

that entered on by Lord HARRINGTON and

Taxing LOtteries.

The bill introduced In the House OF Repre-
sentatives by Mr.. JOSEPH ]. LITTLE OF the
Twelfth Congress district Of this State. for
the purpose Of weakening the Louisiana
Lottery Company. is well-meant but GER
tainly vicious legislation. Mr.. LITTLE pro-
poses to use the taxing power Of the
Government for the sake Of restraining tho
business and diminishing the profits OF that
lottery and all other schemes Of distribute
ing prizes by the determination OF chance.
His main purpose. Of course. Is to attack the
concern which is now fighting for Its exist
ence In Louisiana. For that purpose his
bill provides for an internal revenue tax Of
70 per cent on each sale. issue. transfer. or
delivery Of lottery ticket or receipt. Ii
censes must be taken out by all persons en-
gagged In such transactions. and the ex-
treme limit Of the penalty Of violation Of
the provisions OF the proposed act Is two
years OF imprisonment and fine OF $4,000.
Informers are to receive two-thirds Of the
fines collected from penalties in cases Of
conviction resulting from their information.
Now. the Louisiana Lottery Company Is
an institution that we should be glad to see
abolished. but tho Federal power Of taxa
tlon ia not a proper means OF attaining that
object. Either the existence Of that con-
Germ Is against good morals and public pol
10y or 1t is not. In the former case the
police power OF the Federal and State Gov
ernments should be used In every constitu-
tional way against 1t; IN the latter case the
Government has no justification for dis
eliminating against 1t. To tux 1t. assumes
it to be legitimate business. and throws
away the chief arguments OF its opponents
The Oleomargarine act Of 1886 introduced
the detestable principle Of taxing one in
dustry for the purpose Of hindering that
Industry and helping another. The LITTLE
bill would be precedent for legislation
directed against any business. But from
the point of view Of most Of the opponents
of lotteries the fatal objection is that the
LITTLE plan legitimatizes a business which
they believe to be immoral and against
public policy

The Pinto and the Prat.

The disclosure that the Presidente Pinto
instead Of being on her way to Valparaiso.
IL still at Toulon. may have decided infiu-
ence on our naval movements. 1t shows
that the Captain Pratt has a consort to aid
her. and probably 1t increases the chances.
though these are still small. that Chill may
seek to prevent operations against her own
coast by O demonstration against ours.
The Presidente Errazuriz. a sister ship OF
the Pinto. Is now in CHILEAN waters and out
Of the problem.
The contracts for building the Prat. the
Pinto. and the Errazurz were made In
1883 and 1889 with tho Societ6 DIES FORCES
OF Chantiers de la Mediterranee. who were
to furnish tho vessels. and the Canet Arma-
ment Company. who were to supply. the
batteries. When the civil war broke out In
Chill last year. the Errazuriz was hurried
OF. but the struggle was over before she
reached Valparaiso. The Pinto also left
Toulon to complete her outfit elsewhere.
but was stranded. and returned. AS this
occurred so long ago. 1t seems to have been
popularity assumed In the United States
that she must have already followed her
mate to Chill. But 1t now appears that her
battery, like the Prat's. was behindhand.
although now ready for mounting. Should
tho Pratt be hurried Off with her four prin-
cipal guns unmounted. or. II mounted. with
o crew not trained to handle such ordnance.
/. che might hardly be in q condition to fight
Q ship OF O less formidable character, but
fully prepared for combat. both Us to guns
and crew. Hence 1t would DO natural that
the Pinto. even II ready to start, should be
detained to act as her consort.
Should Chill undertake the bold step OF
attacking our Atlantic seaports by way Of
!. relieving the pressure on her own coasts.
the Pinto would still DO valuable as the
4 oonSort OF the Prat. And here the fact may
- recalled that several OF the best of Chili's
vsssels. including the Esmeralda. set out
recently from Valparaiso on o cruise south
ward. Tho Chilians represent their pur-
pose to DO simply that OF recruiting
men, while another supposition is that
they may DO intending to dispute

To.Dayi

The Democratic State Committee meets
in this city to-day for the purpose OF
fixing Tho timo and place for the meeting
OF the Convention which will choose
delegates to the National Convention Of
June 81 in Chicago. The general expecta-
ton Is that the State Committee will fix
an carly date for the choice Of New York's
delegates, and already few excited indl-
viduals are submitting schedules to show
that an early Convention in New York Is
against tho ordinary Democratic usage.
The Albany Argus. conspicuous In every
dreary task, has compiled data to show
that May is more popular month than
February for the meeting Of the State
Convention to appoint Presidential del
egates. But why should there not be
an early Oonventionp Why should the
Democracy be continuously on the defen-
sive9 Why should not the representatives
of the overwhelming majority Of this State
take the lead In the preliminaries Of the
Convention. as they expect to take the lead
in the election Of the candidate nominated
Why should custom which prevailed in
days OF Democratic defeat be invoked as
the inilcxible guide Of the party when 1t
Is marching to victory2
For every argument advanced In favor Of
a late Democratic State Convention in New
York. there are dozen superior argu-
ments for an early meeting. As the result
Of a protracted contest. NOW crowned with
the assurance Of victory. the Democracy is
in absolute control In New York with the
Governor. State officers, and both branches
of the Legislature. The negotiable and un
just superintendent which has barred the
party's path, is about to be done away with;
and the last OF the Republican holdovers
are about to be superseded by repre-
sentatives OF the majority. At the recent
election the aims and principles OF the
party were approved. and being we'll known
to all men. the Democracy Of New York. in
full battle array. and in the vanguard for
successful fight. stands prepared to partici-
pate actively in the national contest. Why,
then. should not the party here hold an
early Convention to declare its sentiments.
renew its pledges. choose its delegates. and
prepare to win?
What good reason is advanced for delay
Only the shallow and unsubstantial one
that something may turn up in the mean
while! 1t may indeed. The Republican
party In New York may turn up. or rather
get up. and any delay of tho Democracy
ut this iuncture would aid it to do SO.
This Is not tho time to temporize. but to
force the fighting. An early Democratic
State Convention. unanimous delegation
from New York. and the thirty-six electoral
votes OF the Empire State for the candidates
to be nominated in Chicago: that Is what
the situation demands and the Democrats
Of the country expect. To-day's meeting
will not disappoint them!
