opponent who felt his honor disfigured

handed the written challenge to Gen
Houston, who read 1t, and taking up his
pen wrote something across the back of
the FOLDED paper and placed it in a pigeon
hole of his desk. He then went on to en-
terrain the bearer of the challenge with
the pleasant conversation for which he
was noted. After a time the man began
to grow impatient, and reminding the gen
eral of the challenge, asked him if he was
going to reply.

To-day promises TO be big day in New
Orleans. The whole population of the
city is expected to be present in the city
park to witness a sham battle between
opposing forces of the militia and to
contribute dimes and quarters towards
a fund for monument to Gen. Beaure-
CARDS memory. Gen. Beauregard was
highly appreciated in New Orleans, par
ticularly in the French part of the city.
If the weather is fine in New Orleans to-
day he will have a monument very soon.

Many years ago the wild deer that
roamed through the forests of England
used to dig holes in the earth with their
fore feet. They paved it out sometimes
to the depth of several inches, SOMETIMES
a foot or more. These holes were called
"scrapes," and travellers at dusk or night
or those who We're careless about their
footing tumbled into them. Thev were
laughed at for their heedlessness when
they came home covered with mud and
as this frequently occurred after they had
been imbibing a bit they were said 10

bridge students took up this expression
and thus It came to be applied TO people
who had gotten into difficulties Of yari-

Why is it that we see nothing in the sill
verite papers nowadays that silver
controls the price of cotton. When
cotton was > cents a pound they howled
themselves hoarse to the effect that cot

coined in unlimited quantities at the ratio
OF l6 to J. They don't say that now. Were
they mistaken or were they INDUCING in

Under the circumstances there does not

The Banner-Times can see no dire neces-
sity for a good citizens league such as
Mr.. S. e. Nicholson, author of the bill
bearing his name, is preparing to organize
over Indiana. The Republican party of In
diana has given the people of Indiana wise
and efficient temperance laws, and provided
for such enforcement of them as will place
the liquor traffic where it should be. 1t is
now a mistake for Mr.. Nicholson to assume
the position of leader and go over the State,
as he proposes doing, to organize and re-
cruit a new political parity expecting to get
about two-thirds of such recruits from the
Republican party. One of the objects of the
new league is to create a moral sentiment
in favor of liquor laws. That feature is all
right, but the new society does not stop
there; it goes too far, and, it is said, pro-
poses prohibition. That is too much ingrati-
tude to the party in power, which passed
the present laws. Whenever Republicans go
to hobnobbing with such side issues they
invariably get the worst of it. The Nichol-
son bill is all right, but Mr.. Nicholson
should now retire TO private life and attili-
ate with the party that placed him in
prominence by indorsing his measure, and
not self-constitute himself a leader of a
movement that can only bring harm to the
Republican party. Greencastle Banner
