THE INSULT TO THE FLAG.


The American flag has been fired on in
Honduras. The accounts at hand to this
date show the offense to have been with
out any seeming of justification. A Hon
duras rebel took passage in Guatemala
on an American passenger steamer. and
the Captain refused to surrender him
when coming within Honduras waters.
Thereupon the steamer was fred upon
several times and one of the shots took
effect. This case is about parallel with
that of Barrundia. They are alike in the
fact that Barrundia, like the Honduras
rebel, boarded the American vessel in
neutral waters and was brought within
the jurisdiction of the Government which
claimed him as prisoner.
In Barrundia's case the American Min
lister directed his surrender on condition
that he be accorded trial and that his
life be spared. In attempting to arrest

THEY are fixing up an elaborate insan-
ity plea for the assassin of Mayor Har-
rison. That was to have been expected.
But the fellow was not too insane to plot
and plan for the killing of Mr.. Harrison
in manner to make his work sure. He
is not too insane to hang. That he is sus-
ceptible to fear and shame has been dem
onstrated by his behavior in court and in
prison. Punishment, therefore, has re-
straining influence upon his kind. He
was diligent reader of socialistic books
and a warm supporter of Governor Alt
gelds assault upon the court that tried
the anarchists. He had reason to encour-
age his belief that if convicted. Altgeld
would pardon him, and that he would be
considered something Of hero, his crime
excused by the belief in his mental in
trinity, and therefore. that he would be
pitied, but not punished. No, the right
thing to do with Prendergast is to hang
him; he is sane enough to feel the keen
ness and disgrace of capital punishment,
and his taking off in that manner will
serve to restrain others of his kidney.

ject, From Calcutta to the Himalayas," 4"
illustrating it by stereopticon views.
The excitement of the election diverted
the attention of the people from the lect-
ure and only moderate house greeted
him, but those who attended enjoyed a
rare treat in listening to what he had OBJ
served in his travels, told in an unpre-
tentious but effective manner. His de-
scription of the quality of the sacred
water of the Ganges, which is drank by
the inhabitants, would almost reconcile
Sacramentans to drinking our river
water-if they were not going to have a
much better article.

A VICTORY FOR CLEANLINESS.

The new Board of Trustees chosen by
the people of Sacramento at yesterdays
election is so composed that the people
have every reason to congratulate them
selves on having seconded the clear pur-
pose of the New Charter, which is to pro-
mote cleanliness and independence in
city government, and to free municipal
affairs so far as is possible from the con-
tamination of ward politics and sixpenny
bossism.
The composition of the board is such
that the belief may be confidently enter
tanned that city patronage will not be es-
teemed reward for party service, or a
means to the forwarding of selfish de-
signs and low ambitions. We believe
that the new board stands for victory
for cleanliness, progress and economy,
and as the enemy of wastefulness and the
reward of political servitors by city pat
ronage. and especially as foe TO the pros
titution of municipal offices to un-
worthy ends.

stand how to get the largest possible
amount OF free advertising out of the
press for nothing. Ali this backing and
filling by the two bruisers about terms;
all this chatter about the place of the
fight; all the vaporing talk about the
prowess of the men. is simply and solely
promoted to work the public mind up to
the right pitch of excitement and ex-
pectancy, so that the profits of the mill,
when it takes place, will be large. I'm
mediately thereafter the winner will
avail of the free advertising he has

Mics Hilda Brassey, or as l should
call her now, Lady s%ettrington, is the
eldest surviving daughter Of the late
Mr.. Henry Drassoy. OF Preston Hall,
and q niece consequently OF Lord Bras
sey. She is very wealthy, her father
having left personal property to the
amount OF about SIS, 000,0 600.
Her grandfather would certainly have
starod to think OF his sons daughter
ever becoming O Duchess. Notwith-
standing his vast wealth, he bequOath'
lug 10 each OF his three sons an indie
pendent income OF over S500,000 q year,
he used to live quietly in Lowndes
Square, at the rate OF u few thousand
pounds n year, leaving to their eldest
boy, now Lord Brassey, tho duty Of do.
ing all the entertaining for the family.
This eldest son has been created u
peer on the nomination OF Mr.. Glad
stone, and ia not only himself married
10 u lady OF the bluest OF blue blood
she is a granddaughter OF the old Earl
OF Essex-but his son has become the
husband OF a member Of the illustrious
house OF Nevill, which figures in almost
every page Of English history, whilst
one OF his daughters is the ViScountess
Cantolupe, and will in course Of time
blossom forth into u Countess Of de la
War;.
The family OF the duke OF Richmond,
into which pretty Hilda Brassey has
married, is one OF tho most powerful
and influential in Great Britain, the
duke being one Of the fow men in the
empire who ventures to speak his mind
to tho queen, and who is therefore ire.
~ouently consulted by her very imper-
ious majesty in all matters Of difficulty
both Of II domestic and OF u national
character.
He likewise is not afraid Of pointing
out to the prince Of Wales the error OF
his ways when no deems 1t necessary,
and on ono occasion at Goodwood adj.
dressed bitter r%eproaChcs to his future
king in tho presence Of n number Of his
guests for having started u game OF
baccarat after the duke had retired to
rest, and in defiance OF his express re-
quest that 40 gambling oil any kind
| should be carried on under his roof.
The scene will never be forgotten by
those who were present, and three
wears elapsed before tho prince again
resumed his annual visit TO Goodwood
during tho race week. ! may add that
he has never played baccarat there
since.

That was a good story which Rev. @,
]. K. Jones, OF Louisville, told in a Bos-
ton pulpit the other day. He said;
AN alarmist always reminds me OF a
friend OF mine who was q commander
at the battle of Round Mountain. 1t
was a hot tight-one OF the hottest Of
the war. At u particularly intense
part OF the action my friend stood be-
side his horse scanning the field with
his glass and directing his troops. He
told me it seemed as if the dire OF the
whole C~onfederacy was contred on him,
the bullets flying thick around him,
Suddenly ne heard q mimic ball
singing in the air and he felt some
thing strike his leg. But the occasion
was urgent and he kept up his glass.
There was another 'ping,g-g' aud he
felt another strike. And 30 II con
tinued.
"Ihe captain at last lifted up his
hand and prayed: ., Lord, l can go
home 10 my wife and children without
either Of my legs, but, o Lord, let me
get home
"Finally there came the shouts OF
victory. The battle was won. With u
long drawn sigh the captrin turned.
He shouted to his orderly at a little
distance, I'm wounded, Jim. Come
and help me on my horse; l must go
homo. It's my last battle
"No, l guess not, replied the or
derby.
"iWhats the matter2 Come, hurry
up, I'm wounded
'".If you want me to help you, come
here sung out the orderly,
"But what's the trouble2 Why can't
you come here? Don't you see I'm
wounded and almost dyingH"
"on no, you arc not" sung out the
orderly again.
"Come ghero instantly, you rascal,
shouted the commander.
"No l don't, That's the biggest
nest OF yellow jackets l ever saw in my
life,' was the final laughing reply Of
the orderly.
1.-THE storming swarm OF jackets
were the only mimic balls that had
| struck him.
