Two Fastidfous Gentlemen.

1t is related of Hamlin Garland, the
apostle of realism, says the Chicago Rec
ord, that upon one occasion, while he
was dining with distinguished friends in
Washington, he was asked whether he
was an admirer of Charles Dickens
works. To this Mr. Garland made an
swer: When l was a boy 8 years old
1 once read three pages in one of Mr..
Dickens novels-I forget which novel it
was
Upon hearing this answer another
guest at the table remarked that Mr..
Garland's experience reminded him of
a story told of Beau Brummell. 1t seems
that being once at an ostentatious feast
with a noble company the Beau was
asked by one who noticed that his Beau
ship declined certain dishes: "And is it
possible, sir, that you never eat vegeta-
bles?'

The New York World does not think-the
governor Of Texas showed much wisdom
in calling the legislature Of that state to-
gether 20 enact law TO prevent the con-
test between Corbett and Fitzsimmons.
Il says the legislators who hesitated to
enact the emergency law 10 prevent a
prize-Gght displayed more sense than the
governor. who called the special session.
Continuing. the World says: There has
rarely been seen In any American state
such a ridiculous instance OF dispropOr-
ton between the thing TO be done and the
Instruments and agencies brought into ac-
ton to accomplish 1t. It is, besides.
bit OF hypocrisy and humbug. With its
murders lynchings and other frequent
deeds OF actual and criminal lawlessness,
Texas is made to seem absurd by the hys-
terical activity OF its governor in stopping
a 'fstic encounter
We think the World takes a very mar
row view of the matter. If the only pur-
pose the governor had in view in conven-
ing the Legislature was the preventing Of
the Corbett-Fitzsimmons prize-hght. there
might be some ground for the kind or
criticism of his action in which the World
INDUCES. There are reasons for thinking.
however. that the governor had a mucn
greater purpose in mind. He wanted TO
announce to those OF the people of Texas
who are disposed to be lawless that Texas
is no longer an arena for lawlessness,
that the state is no longer a paradise for
those who take pride in treating with con-
tempt the laws for the protection Of hui
man life and the preservation Of peace.
that Texas no longer pays great
or homage to the pistol-toting
bully than to the order-lov-
ing and industrious citizen and that pub
lie sentiment in Texas in respect to all
matters of a moral nature is abreast OF
that OF the best sentiment to be found
anywhere in the union.
In itself the action Of the governor in
stopping one prize-hght is not Of so much
consequence, but the moral effect of that
action is tremendous, not only for good
in Texas, but elsewhere. The people OF
step forward. and consequently they will
regard with less liberation every kind
Of 1awlessness. Outside of Texas there
will be a feeling that the state is advanc-
ing along the right lines and the move
ment to seek homes within ner limits win
increase
The Texas governors action has had its
effect on President Diaz of Mexico, who
says the Orbett-Fitzsimmons fight shall
not take place on Mexican soil. and also on
the United States authorities, who will
not permit the fight to occur in the In
dian territory If they have authority to
prevent II. The course pursued by the
governor of Texas is not matter for
ridicule. as the World seems to think. but
for the highest commentator. The
Worlds view is a narrow one and will not
commend itself TO thinking people

Some one writing for Harper's Baza-
has taken the trouble to Jabulate a num-
Der Of proverbs in order to show their un-
reliability of application. For instance:
visitor was lamenting the hayward
ness of young friend, and concluded by
saying:
After all, it but proves how true are
our old proverbs, "One man can take a
horse to water but twenty men can't
make him drink"
You can't prove anything by a pro-
verb, answered the lively girl who lis
tened. Or rather, you can prove anything
upon earth you wish. Here's a proverb
that answers yours back, "A bird that can
sing and won't sing must be made to
sing"
Try it again." laughed the first speak
er. "A rolling stone gathers no moss"
Easy enough" answered her compan-
ion. "A sitting hen never gets fat When
you tell me, "A penny saved is a penny
earned, answer, You may be penny wise
and pound foolish And II you say

can reply, "A word is better than a wink
to a blind horse"
And what do you say~to this?' asked
the other. demurely. Proverbs are the
wisdom OF nations"

Ex-Congressman George D. Tillman is
correct when he says that the adoption
by the South Carolina constitutional con-
vention of an ordinance discriminating
against persons with amy negro blood, ;"
in the marriage laws, viii make trouble.
1t is worse than useless to attempt to dis
guise the fact that there are in the south
numbers of persons passing as white who
have one-eighth or less of negro blood in
their veins. Many of these persons are
well.to-do and have good social positions
and the fact that there is dip of the tar
brush in the family history is seldom re-
ferred to among their acquaintances. Ir
South Carolina were to adopt the law pro-
posed, and it were to be strictly enforced.
some very startling disclosures would be
made by its operations. In this state
the law is that any person with one-eightn
or more Of negro blood shall be cIassed
as a eolored person, for legal purposes.
and that persons with less than one
eighth of negro blood shall be classed as
white persons. So far as we are in
formed this law operates in satisfactory
manner.

Too Many Americans.


1t IS not quite safe to criticize Ameri-
cans in the higher circles Of British So
ciety, unless the critic has studied tho
roughly the pedigree of those whom he ad-
dresses, says the Youths Companion So
many Of the American girls nowadays are
becoming a part of the "effete'' aristoc-
racy of the old world
Not long ago, at a reception given in
Rome, at the British embassy, an Italian
baron, who was presented to the Duchess
Of Manchester, sighed deeply, as with re-
lief, and said to her:
"Ah How glad / am to get away from
those Americans there! We come across
them everywhere. don't we, duchess? You
can't imagine how happy 1 am to con-
verse with you; there is such contrast
between the manners of English and
American wOmenp'
The duchess let him go on as long as he
liked in this way and then said, with a
gracious smile:
Perhaps you are right, baron; but be-
Ing myself an American ] am no doubt
incapable of judging
The baron wished that the floor would
swallow him up and reflected that he
should have known, as everyone else did,
that the Duchess of Manchester was a
New Yorker.

From the Baltimore Sun (Dem.).

The reelection of Maj J. C. c. Black,
dem, over Watson, pop, for congress, by
a majority of 1,6i1. is interesting, as show
ing the drift of political sentiment in
Georgia. In the polling just held Watson
lost votes heavily. In his own county he
lost over 100 votes from his number in
November, 1894. This seems to show a
change of sentiment in Georgia since that
time. With cotton higher without free
coinage the argument that free silver must
precede higher prices has lost its force

A correspondent of the st. Louis Re
public asks that paper: This is the sea-
son of tine year when the great fannilv of
the curious are interested in the question
of how and why fruits change color Can
you give a logical answer to the above %
The editor in reply says: l will not at
tempt a logical answer on my own
hook" but will give a summary of the
opinions which have been advanced nv fFe
leading scientists of the world. First-It
is known that as fruits come TO maturity
there is process of absorption of material
cell growth within the fruit itself Sec
ond-That the absorption of oxygen, and
the giving off of carbonic acid gas is an
action strictly analogous to the act of
respiration in animals. Third-That there
is a transformation of vegetable fiber into
sugar and water. the rapidity and perfec-
tion OF this process depending principally
upon tine amount of sunlight to which the
fruit in question is exposed while this
change is taking place. 1t is a curious
fact, which We annually see demonstrated
before our. eyes, that the outer membrane
of most all fruits changes to a positive
color during the Tipening process 1t is also
a fact (out not 50 curious as lamentable)
that the most rigid and painstaking re-
search has utterly failed in telling us ex-
actly why one plum is green and another
blue, and one apple red and another vel
low. That the primary change is due to
some of the reasons given under the three
heads above there is not the least doubt
put ,e1actly why or how no man know
eth When a certain species of fruit has
changed all its fiiOers to sugar and water
nature checks the absorption of oxygen
by cutting of the supply of light and air
This is done by nature closing the rlores
of the skin of the fruit and changing the
hue of 1t to some color best calculated to
the needs of the fruit as a nonabsorhan Mt
of the two elements referred to- If light
and air are allowed to still enter the sinh
stance of the fruit after the final change
to sugar and water, as through an abra-
sion in the skin the next chemical cha noe
involves decomposition and the ''rottinsS''
process sets in. This is about all that is
known about the exact mode of oners :
tfon in the coloring and ripening changes
which fruits undergo, and while it~does
not pointedly answer the question. II
