THE DECADENCEOFT THE DUELLO.
Nearly everybody views with appre-
hension the decadence of the duello in
South Carolina. Time was when gentle
lcn controlled public affairs in that State
and shot each other as a mcars OF inciting
thirst for The seductive mint Julip. The
allegation, "Youah no gentleman, sab"
was considered sufficient provocation to
engage the services OF an undertaken and
jearse. but since the -'wah" South Caro-
lima has fallen from The throne OF drellistic
grace, and a mans honor there now is no
more eacred than it is in Patagonia.
Witness the recent alterations between
Senator Tillman and his counter shining
light, ex-senator Butler. The curriculum OF
invectiye has been exhausted since their
Ear of words, and instead of settling their
difficulties at twenty PAGES with hair
trigger pistols, they have tried annihilaiiOn
at long range with blood thirsty epithets.
1t is sad that a great State, which had
the honor at one time of being the home Of
the duello, should become SO humiliated. but
perhaps this once honorable custom has
given way because OF a desire for settling
disputes by less dangerous methods.

the presence of those who seek to free
Cuba from Spanish rule is suspected.
As the State Department is too dignifted
to move rapidly, and the head and front
OF the Administration gives more thought
TO rod and reel than to Cuba, no American
citizen whose soul is In the least degree
animated by the spirit of the Revolution
ary Fathers would regret it for moment
II energetic Cubans or Americans In Florida
should pitch these spying ''consuls" into the
Atlantic or the Gulf, and thus force an in
ternationai Complication which would
arouse the sluggish minds OF the Admin
istratioD to some recognition OF the strug-
gle that is IN progress In Cuba.
Some sort OF action on the part of some
body should surely rebuke this inpudeDt
action of Spain. If four additional ''con-
suis" may be sent to Florida alone, a tipu-
sand may be sent. and every part OF the
Atlantic and Gulf coasts patroled by these

sTREETPAvING MANIPULATION.

STREETPAVINGM MANIPULATION.
Requests of Chief johnson, OF the Bureau
OF Engraving and Printing. for the paving
OF Fourteenth. street below the Avenue.
and The reply of the Commissioners that the
schedule for new paving Is not yet com
pleted, suggests that these annual
schedules are often peculiarly lacking in
evidence of good judgment. Why certain
streets secure fine pavements, which
are neglected for lnng years which, by
reason of their traffic. demand the best
Of paving. Is one of the things in municipal
government that no fellow can find out
except those who may be In the secret.
Paving is now in progress on streets
which for whole blocks have scarcely
dwelling or building of any kind. These
are but illustrations of many similar per-
formahces running throughout a long period.
No observant citizen has failed to notice
and the public press has frequently criti-
cised, the laying Of wafer mains and con-
struction of asphaltum streets through
barren suburban lands, owned by specu-
lators. Such improvements have multi
piled many times the value OF such property.
and the speculators by that one act enabled
to make fortunes.
II is 10 be hoped that the honorable
Commissioners. In making up their new
schedule. win not only provide for Four
teenth street, which, with the exception of
Eleventh, is the most important avenue for
heavy traffic between Northwest and
Southwest Washington, but for many other
streets for which paving has been asked in
vain for long years by the bouseholders
who live on them; and that the influence Of
specuiators, W ho wish to enhance the value
at public expense of their unimproved prop
erty, will be for once ignored.

The Times Has the Largest Bona-Fide
Circulation.
Notwithstanding the vigorous efforts OF
: contemporaries to keep up with The Times.
that popular newspaper still heads the list.
The total circulation Of the Star last week
was 1T ,s33, while that Of The Times
for the same period was 21s,71s. or
40,ss6 more than the Star. The actual
gain OF The Times over Its circulation for
last week was 6,334, which indicates
a prosperity never before known in Wash
fDgton newspaper circles.
The circulation OF The Times is bona -fide
and is not padded. 1t gives advertisers
better display, wider publicity. and hence,
larger returns.
