A New Chess Champion.

Chess is not a game for the masses. 1t
is the amusement and pastime of the few.
1t is the most scientific of games and re-
quires deep and tedious mental process
for the solution Of the problems it pre-
sents. Nevertheless, there are thousands
of people in this country who play chess,
and other thousands who do not, but who
are interested in the great chess tourna-
ments that take place from time to time
All of these viii be pleased with the sue
cess of the young American. Pillsbury
who has just won first prize in the inter-
national tournament at Hastings, Eng
land.
Mr.. Pillsbury, who was born in Massa-
chusetts and resides in Brooklyn. is only
% years old. Among his competitors at
Hastings were such players as Stelnitz,
from whom he wrested the trophy; Tschig-
orin, Tarrasch, Gunsberg and Champion
Lasker. Mr.. Pillsbury's victory does not
make him the international champion
That honor remains with Lasker, but
there is no doubt that the two will soon be
brought together to test their powers,
when it may transpire that the young
American will prove a worthy successor to
that American god of chess" Morphy.
Mr.. Pillsbury's play is said not to be bril-
liant, but slow, painstaking and with al
most unerring judgment A match be-
tween him and Lasker would be watched
with profound interest by the whole chess
world, and by an immense audience of
witnesses who know hardly more about
the game than that it is something very
hard to understand, and whose chief anx-
iety would be for the American to best his
antagonist.

ton.

The surgeon general of the marine hos
pital service takes a most hopeful view
OF the report that the steamer Belgic
from China, which vessel is supposed
to have introduced cholera into Honolulu,
was permitted TO land her passengers the
other day AZ san Francisco without de-
tentIon or rigid investigation. although at
the time Of her arrival she had three dead
Cinnamon on board. There is an epidemic
Of cholera in several Of the Chinese cities.
and in Japan there have been more than
1900 deaths from cholera within the last
two or three months. If II is true as stated,
that persons landed at Honolulu by the
Belgic died in that city Of cholera it
would seem as If her passengers, particu-
larry the Chinese and japanese. ought
not to have been permitted to land after
steamers arrival at san Francisco until
it was determined by a very thorough
investigation that neither the steamer
nor any of her passengers or crew were
infected.
The announcement sent out from Wash
ington that cholera has never got into
this country by way Of the Pacific coast
seems 10 be sort Of excuse for permit
ting the Belgic to land her passengers
before a very thorough inspection of
them had been made The United States
health officer at san Francisco says that
the three dead Cinnamon, whose bodies
were on the Belgic when she arrived.
did not die Of cholera. But if they did not,
it doesn't follow that there was no need
for precautions in the Belsic's case on
the arrival Of that steamer. In view Of
the prevalence Of cholera in China and
Japan the presence Of dead bodies on The
steamer ought TO have suggested the ne
cessity for a very careful examination.
But why is it that no apprehension is
entertained of the introduction of cholera
into this country by way OF the Pacific
coast? Because the disease has never
been brought to this country from the
Pacific side it doesn't follow that it never
will be. There are now regular lines OF
steamers between ports of China and ia
pan and Pacific coast ports, and there is
no good reason why it should not get into
this country through the Pacific ports
that does not apply to the Atlantic ports.
1t would be a great mistake to assume
that there is no danger of the disease
being introduced through the Pacific
ports. As great precautions should be
taken at these ports against the introduce
ton of the disease as at the Atlantic
ports. Many of the Cinnamon who Were
passengers on the Belgic departed on the
railways for different parts Of the coun-
try Immediately after they landed in
san Francisco. and if they were infected
they carried the germs of the disease
with them

A Couple OF Assertions.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat has
a great deal to say on the silver question
Il deals mainly in assertions. 1t ought 10
give a few reasons for its assertions. The
fact that II doesn't give any justihes the
conclusion that it hasn't any. and that it
would be well for it TO study the silver
question little more thoroughly. If Il
should do that conscientiously 1t would
have less TO say about il. probably.
IN a recent article il makes Two asser-
tions that it doesn't attempt TO support
by reasons. one is that the low price Of
silver is due TO the closing OF the minis
10 the unlimited coinage Of that metal and
the other is that if the minis were re-
opened 70 silver at the ratio Of 16 to 1. the
commercial ratio would at once return to
that ratio. The Times-Democrat has,
therefore settled the silver question TO its
own satisfaction. In fact, according 10 its
view the question is such a simple one
that it is remarkable that the world
should be troubled by it.
But what makes the Times-DemOcrat
think the low price OF silver is due to the
what it says is true, it will render the
world a great service. Is it not 4 fact that
the minis are closed 10 silver because Of
the low and constantly fiuctuating price
Of that metal? According to the figures
it prints the ratio Of gold TO silver dur
ing loo years of the Roman
Empire was Il TO / The price
Of silver, therefore. was much high
er then than it is now. and why? Simply
because silver was scarcer in comparison
with gold. If the Times-Democrat will
look into the question little more care
fully it will find that the present low price
of silver is due TO the enormous produc-
ton of that metal
And what makes the Times-Democrat
think that if the mints were opened to sill
yer, the commercial ratio of silver to gold
would become 10 10 /? Was that ever the
commercial ratio for any considerable pc
riod? If so, what period?
Was it not because of the impossibility
of keeping both gold and silver in circu-
lation at that ratio that the minis were
closed to silver? OF course it was, and the
Times-Democrat assertion will hardly re-
ceive a moments consideration from those
who are familiar with the facts connect
ed with silver legislation. The Times
Democrat ought to have more regard for
the intelligence Of its patrons than in
dulge in unsupported statements in such
an important matter.

There is a very strong effort being made
to have the county commissioners appro-
pirate g. 500 for the Atlanta exposition ex-
hibit. The city has appropriated that
sum. which, if judiciously expended,
should cover the expense Of the exhibit.
Aside from this reason, however, there is
a grave doubt that the commissioners have
the authority to make an appropriation
of the peoples money for such a purpose.
Their authority is limited by the law un-
der which they hold office and it is quite
certain that the giving away of the peo-
pies money is not one of their specified
duties.
A petition is being circulated urging the
commissioners to give the foregoing
amount TO the committee, and, as usual
in such cases, it is being signed by a
great many people, a majority of whom,
as rule, sign anything that is presented
to them which does not take money out
of their pockets.
1t is safe to say that if the petition re-
quired the signers of it to pay any con-
siderable part of the money for which it
calls. the names of many who appear as
sgners would not be there.

The Savannah marksmen at Sea Grit
have won glory and something more sub
stantial as well. And there is every reason
TO believe they will do even better shoot
ing next year than they did this year
Savannah has now as fine rifle range
as there is in the country-a much finer
range than even that at Sea Girt-and
her marksmen will get the training they
have heretofore lacked. The excellent
range here, Furthermore, makes 1t GER
tain that some important matches will
be shot in this city. 1t seems that there
might be arranged a match to be shot
on the Savannah range during the time
of the visit of the Chicago military next
month. The probabilities are that many
of the marksmen who met the Savan-
nahians at Sea Girt could be induced to
come down for such an event. 1t may
be depended upon that the Chicagoans
would put up a strong team.
