Hadshi Izzet laid aside this habit once. One

By the pasha washing his hands after the
greeting, ana determined that he should not
be so treated a second time if he could poss:-
bly, prevent it. The consul was a thorough
master Of the Turkish tongue and for this
reason had great advantage over many of
his colleagues. When the servants Of Hadshi
Izzet received him at the palace threshold he
spoke as follows In voice which he knew
would reach the ears Of the governor in his
office near by
go and tell thy master that I wish to
speak to him. Say to him that shall also do
honor

tempts to wash his hands after shaking

The servant started away to announce the
visitor to his master But the governor had
already heard the message and came smiling
toward the daring consul While he placed
his right hand in that of the foreign repre-
sentative he said: THAT was right You

The hands were not washed until the coun-
sui had left the palace. The incident gave
him notoriety in the;consular corps at Adrian
Ople.

Interesting Facts About the Bonds.
From the New York Evening Post Ind)

The reason why Secretary Carlisle offers
the 5 per cent bonds described in the act of
1870 instead of the 4Ias or the is is that they
have the shortest time to run, l. e., ten years
1t is easy to compute the price at which these
bonds ought TO sell in order to be equal to a
3 per cent. bond running the same length of
time. The secretary finds it to be ll7.223
Every per cent, bond for 81 600 therefore,
must bring to the treasury not less than
G,l7223. But the human mind is so consti-
tuted that, although the 5 per cent. bond al
HEB and the per cent. bond at par are the
same thing in an economical sense. nine men
out OF ten will not only prefer the lat
ter but will pay a considerable bonus
for II, The premium of II per
cent. which is required for the 3
per cent, bond will deter many bankers from
bidding The reason for this is that they
have some doubt whether the next conner will
pay this premium Experience has taught
them that the public do not like to pay pre-
mlums, and as bankers usually buy in order
to sell again, they take this psychologist al
fact into account. Probably the government
could save one-quaFter or one-hah per cent
per annum in the rate of interest, for the
whole ten years, il 1t we're not for this pre-
MUM In other words, the government could
sell 2ls or pa per cent bond at par as easily
as per cent bond at IA. 233, The premium
is bugbe but everybody knows that bug
pears nave commercial standing. They
count for something in the world Of finance.

The Nictherov. pynamiter.

The Nictheroy, Brazilian cruiser,
formerly the American merchant steamer
FL Cid, has been in Brazilian waters for
more than month now. She was turned
over to PeixOto early in December, at
Pernambuco, where she has been off and
on, for one reason or another, ever since
From the standpoint of the persons who
sold the ship, the guns and the other
things necessary to the transformation of
the merchantmen into a man-of-war, the
zeal was great success. But from the
standpoint of the purchasers, who
wanted something that could fight. and
fight hard, the outcome must be great
disappointment. For the NictherOy has
as yet been nothing to Peixoto but a
source Of expense and annoyance. Her
crew, consisting at first altogether,
and at present in considera BILE
part, of mercenaries, picked up
in New York, has been in constant state
of disaffection. Outbreaks of insubordi-
nation were frequent, because of disa-
greements about pay so long as the alien
seamen were in the majority Native
Brazilians have predominated in the crew
for some two or three weeks But there
IS nothing to indicate that they are an i'm
provement upon the old crew. The com
mander has never dared to take them
within sight of one of the enemy's yes
sells.
But, had the Nictheroys crew been
composed of heroes, into the war from
motives of patriotism solely, it is doubt
full if she would have been sent against
he enemy, in his powerful armored CRUZ s.
ers., The fact appears to be that the Mic
theroy, as dynamiter, is a failure-a
worse failure than our Vesuvius-and
that the Brazilians have found it out. At
the Port Royal tests of the Vesuvius'
guns, the gunners were able to place
shot within a few feet of a
target made of two or three
barrels, one time after another, at the ex-
IRENE range claimed for the guns. Dur
ing the practice with the Nictheroy's gun
since she went south, the only thing the
gunners have succeeded in striking is the
ocean. AT distance of 1000 yards they
fired at rock l 900 yards long and 800
feet high-an object as big as would have
been Mello's fleet, punched and placed in
a convenient position for humiliation by
the Nictheroy's discharge of dynamite.
But the proiectile missed the rock by 300
yards, and lost itself in the sea. The eff
fort, by the way, disabled the gun for FIVE
days. That was during December. Since
then it has been announced that the gun
is in good order. Nevertheless, when the
commander of the Nictheroy, at Pernam-
buco the other day, saw a
thread of smoke on the hori-
zon to the southwark, and had
weighed the suggestion that it might be
a cruiser, he put to sea at full speed, and
ran away and hid for two days The
smoke was from cruiser, sure enough,
but it was British cruiser.
If the improvised navy of the Brasil
ians offers the nations of the world any
lesson, it is that a make-shift ship, manned
by scrub crew, cannot be depended upon
to wipe out the enemy in short meter.

mississippi,s Conviets.

The Mississippi legislature is at work
upon a bill arranging for the abrogation
of the convict lease system, as required
in the new state constitution. The time
for the change of penal systems is fixed
by the constitution, which orders the
state to assume charge of its convicts i'm
mediately upon the expiration of the
leases under which they are now en-
ployed by contractors. The new peniteu-
tiary bill provides for the establishment
Of farm, or farms, for the safe keeping
and employment of the convicts. The
farm contemplated by the bill is one of
5000 acres. No provision is made as to
the crop to be planted, but it is presumed
that food crops will be cultivated, mas
much as it is the purpose to make the in
stitution self-supporting without coming
into competition with honest labor. It is
estimated that to equip and start plan
tation of the size proposed for the state
farm an outlay of Sl250O0 will
be necessary. But, large as the amount
is, the people of Mississippi, in justice to
themselves and humanity to the convicts,
win not object to the outlay. The profits
on the farm will go to recOup the state for
the outlay. and when the debt has been
discharged the profits will be used to es-
tablish other farms, until the peniten-
tiary is in possession of enough land to
give employment to whatever number of
convicts it may have.
Mississippis example in the matter of
convict control is one that should be fol-
lowed by the other states in which the
lease system is retained The details of
the Mississippi plan might be improved
upon, but the general proposition that the
state should itself control its convicts
should be adopted. The MORNING NEWS has
for long time been urging Interrogation
of the lease system in Georgia. 1t is our
idea that the convicts should be put to
work at improving the public highways,
retaining state lands, etc, enough of
them, probably, being employed on a state
farm to feed the whole. However, we
have been, and are, welded to no plan,
but would be pleased to see some good
law passed abolishing the lease system,
with its cruelties and scandals. Within
year there have occurred in the convict
camps in Georgia incidents sufficient to
damn the lease system forever.

Baltimore has an ordinance defining
precisely where street cars shall stop.
They must stop on the near side of cross
ings with their front platforms on a line
with the sidewalk, or on the far side with
their rear platforms on a line with the
sidewalk. The carmen have of late been
careless about obeying the ordinance
with the result that several accidents
have occurred. To bring the men and
the companies up with a round turn, and
with incontrovertible evidence, the police
have been standing on the corners with
kodaks, photographing the cars that
stopped in the wrong place.

not without their utility. They serve to
bring out very clearly the real purpose of the

An exception in the case of those industries
in which mischievous monopoly is made
possible by the tariff is not only reasonable
but is in accord with the protested desire of
