The editor of a Spanish illustrated
paper has challenged Senator Mason
of Illinois to a combat at swords
points. He describes Mason as ian
ignoble Yankee senator, who scolds
like a woman and who has not the
valor to fight like a man and who
would take a slap in the face with
out resenting it," We fear the Span
lard is not posted on the recent
Washington hotel episode when he
insinuates that the Illinoisan would
not resent an insult.

AN INDIAN MOSES.

This title seems likely TO become APP
plicable to Colonel Wisdom. United States
agent for the five civilized tribes in the In
dian Territory, whose name is otherwise
suggestive of leadership. The fitness of the
title grows out of the fact that a large num-
her OF Indians are considering the propriety
of emigrating from the United States TO
Mexico, and if they decide to DO so Colonel
Wisdom will lead the expedition. 1t would
be an exodus, but 1t might not end in
reaching land of promise nor one that
flows with milk and honey. The proposed
movement grows out of dissatisfaction on
the part OF many of the leading men of the

The New York Tribune opposes the propo-
sition to change the street names to avoid
duplicates in the different boroughs of
Greater New York, on the ground that it
would do violence to history and local ira
ditions, cause much confusion and expense
require changes in deeds and records, and
all without any compromising benefit. The
Tribune concludes:
Incomparably simpler and preferable in
every respect would 1t be to retain the pres
ent names of streets and simply add to
every address the name of the borough
That would cause no extra work, for it is
exactly what everybody is now doing The
names of the boroughs are fixed upon. the
city. and there is no use in trying to ignore
them. If any New Yorker is ashamed to
have it known that he lives in the borough
of Brooklyn he had better move to Chicago
right off.
AS the charter creates the new city by
boroughs the people may as well adopt that
style first as last.
