Mayor Butts made an example yester-
day of two individuals so-called
"mashers"-who insulted a lady on the
street. The mayor was right, and 1t is
pity that the law didn't permit him to
make the penalty more severe than 1t
did. An active campaign of this sort is
badly needed in the city. and the InteliI-
gencer hopes the police may succeed in
running in a few more such cases.

The Chinese Puzzle.

Recent reports from Peking are so ut
terly irreconcilable with the announce
ments Of Sir Michael Hicks-Beach and
Mr.. Arthur J. Balfour relative TO Great
Britain's policy in the Far East that it
is difficult to give them credence. After
having espoused the cause Of commercial
freedom in China with such a splendid
show of courage the British government
could not withdraw its demand for open
ports in Difference to Russian threats with
out a complete loss of prestige. The Chi
nese trade is one of the most important
interests of the British Empire. and the
British cabinet could rely upon the enthu-
siastic support OF the whole nation, irres-
pective of party, in its determination TO
protect the same. The chance OF Russian
opposition must have been considered by
the Salisbury ministry before the chan
cellor OF the exchequer was permitted to
state bIuntly that Great Britain would go
TO war with any power that should at
tempt TO shut single door to her far east
ern commerce. Nothing has occurred
since this statement was made to lessen
Great Britain's ability 70 back IL up with
adequate force. On the contrary, it has
been made manifest that the powers OPP
posed TO the British policy would in the
eventuality Of hostilitieS be at the mercy
of Great Britain and Japan, whose inter-
coal in that region not owned by their
natural ally Why, therefore, should
Great Britain recede an inch in her cham
pionship of equal commercial rights for
all, and allow Port Arthur and fallen
Wan, and consequently the whole of
North China. TO be Theoretically sealed
to all but Russians by the Cars uncoaled
and helpless fleet?
The most probable explanation of the
recent reports concerning an inclination
on the part of Great Britain to back down
would be that the Picking ends of the
telegraph wires have fallen into the hands
of pro-Russian operators, who have at
tempted to conceal the fact of Russia ;
defeat in a cloud of obfuscatory rumors.
II is possible that the true situation has
been revealed in dispatch to the Man.
chester Guardian (Which appears to have
escaped the notice of the pro-Russian ed
itors of the news from Peking.) in which
it is stated that the Chineze puzzle had
been solved by the opening of Port Arthur
to trade on the same terms as Kiao Chow
and the withdrawal of Great Britians
demand relating to Talien. Wan. In 9TH
er words, Russia's amour proper has been
preserved, like that of Germany in the
case of Kiao Chow, by letting it appear
that the opening of the port in question
was a free concession from the power in
occupancy. Having obtained the right Of
access to Port Arthur, Great Britain
could well afford to withdraw her demand
for the opening of Talien Wan in the
same district as being no longer a mat
ter of Importance. But whether obtained
from Russia under pressure from Great
Britain or in the guise of a voluntary
dedication to the trade of the world. the
opening of Port Arthur as a free port, as
was that of Kiao Chow, will be a signal
defeat of the Continental European policy
OF plumber and partition in China.

A JOKE ON JOHNNY.

America has set about getting con-
troll Of the worlds financial situation
and, incidentally, its commerce and
government, for the power that con-
trolls the wealth of the world rules its
nations. To successfully regulate. and
administer the financial situation 1t
became evident some time ago that
since England must first be absolutely
dominated, as London holds cinch on
that line Of business. To get the in
side clutch America has been shipping
assortments of her most bloated plebs.
to that swell island, consisting OF heir
esses, promoters Of various characters,
and owners of immense volumes OF Sc
curities, with the result that London
stock markets and monetary institu-
tions have already largely come under
the influence of American interests.
Among the later of our expectations
was young Astor. Young Astors head
no less than his bank account are aw-
fully swelled. He has been standing
ready to buy up the whole British sit
uation, including a sprig of royalty for
his family and a title to hook on to his
own name. 1t is now feared that he
has been little too previous and
may have precipitated matters. Our
dispatches of yesterday morning an
nounee that the suspicious of Johnny
Bull have been aroused, his pride
pricked. Astor having possessed him
self Of one of the most advantageous
slightly, valuable and aristocratic es-
tates of the empire, the former lOrdly
owners Of which threw wide open to
the freedom of the British public, is
fencing the place in with high and
frowning wall so that the average En-
glishman has looked upon that classic
al resort of his ancestors for the last
time Our pompous cousin sets up
fearful howl over American impudence,
Waldorf Aston having bought and paid
for the place, to which he holds title,
in fee simple, reaching down to the CEN
ter of the earth beneath and up to the
heavens, we guess about all the ag-
grieved Johnny can do is to growl. He
and his ancestors have, in the name of
Christianity, humanity and civiliza-
ton, gobbled up fully one-half of the
entire surface of the globe for which
they paid nothing, and with which
possessions they do pretty much as
they please. America, in turn, in pro-
posing to take in the island of Great
Britain expects to pay the market
price for it There will be no coercion.
The cash viii be planked down in gold
for every available foot of it, after
which the purchasing party will fence
it in or do whatever else he pleases
with it, and it will be very unpretty
for the party Of the first part, after
he has got guild pro quo in his pocket
to go around abusing and threatening
the party of the second part as he is
now doing in the case of young Aston.

LETTERS LOAD.

There are rumors that Letter has
loaded up with more than he can con-
veniently navigate under. Symptoms
of distress are reported as having been
discovered in the vicinity Of the great
wheat syndicate's headquarters. Not
only Armour, with his millions, who
was pinched by young Letter, but
number of other bloated capitalists are
painting for chance to give an impetus
to any whirI which might promise TO
land Mr.. Letter and his crowd fat on
their backs. But the young man, as
the Cincinnati Times-Star asserts, has
got all of the surplus wheat in the
country, amounting to more than
merchant he must dispose of this wheat
above the purchase price. His first step
is to put the price up to millers from
s1.O5 to S11O per busheL The telegraph
wires are burdened with Mr.. Letters
views on the future market for wheat.
He believes in a great increase over the
present price. But now comes the story
that millers are grinding an inferior
quality of wheat and produce an infer
Tor quality Of flour. This is natural il
Mr. Letter pushes the price of wheat to
such an extent that the millers can not
grind No wheat with profit to them
selves Mr.. Letter is now complaining
that the millers do not buy from him.
The natural consequence of the raise in
the price is to diminish the consump-
ton. If Mr.. Letter holds on a little
while longer the normal consumption
will fall off to an alarming extent,
while he will have additional millions
of wheat to provide for when the new
wheat comes into market. Mr.. Letter
is specializing on the needs of the peo-
pie of this country. He is doing the
very thing which of all others raises
discomfort against large wealth. 1t
would be a great satisfaction if the
consumption should fall off until Mr..
Letter is forced to a realizing sense of
the enOrmity of his crime. Mr.. Letter
is not a bona fide merchant, but a
speculator of the first degree.
