A LITTLE TALK ON BUTTERINE.
Some Points That Will Knock out

The growing tendency in this district
to use only the higher grades of butterine
is very pleasing. and the indications are
that people, approaching the value of high

the soldier struck over the head.
One of the mastering officers assigned
to The work of mastering out the Maine
Artillery wrote TO Judge Norwood a few
days ago setting forth reasons why the
sentence might, in his opinion, be supend-

officer and with the consent of the solic-

now at the camp of the artillery and will
be mustered out with his comrades.
The assault committed by Moore was on
Dec 6. The affair was given considerable
publicity at the time, and considerable

fire from the mixture which blazed up.
Her clothing was almost entirely burned
from her body though prompt assistance
was rendered by several young men and
neighbors who heard her cries for help.
Mrs. Thomason's injuries were very severe,
the burns extending almost over her entire
body. 1t was hoped, however, that while
painful the burns had moi been deep, and
when inquiry was made at the house yes.

doing well and with a prospect for recov-

A turn for the worse was taken about 10

where he went TO report TO the war de-

Fort Pulaski as a sort of camp of deten-

in the Morning News, was reported to the
department. and it was decided to adopt
Col. Bellinger's suggestion.
Vessels bringing troops from Cuba will
not enter the harbor. They will dis
charge the troops to lighters a the mouth

THE CANAL ISSUE.

If England and America prove
to have settled their differences
over the canal clause of the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty, as is reported,
another great step will have been
made toward harmony. AS it
stands, neither can take position
on the isthmus save by mutual con-
sent. Since this treaty was made,
the position of the United States
has altered, and England can con-
sent to canal built and controlled
by the United States without loss
of material interests or national
dignity. This conclusion will prob
ably be reached, and would certain
ly be, but for the opposition of Can
ada. A. complete settlement of
the various differences with that
colony is probably impossible.
There is at present no prospect of it.
But if the canal issue can be- adj
justed, both Great Britain and the
United States will profit. The Pres
ident has yet to appoint the Com
mission provided by Congress to
decide on the best canal route.
There is good reason to believe
that he will supplement the present
Canal Commission, two of whose
members are committed to the Nj
caragua route, with engineers of
the first rank, impartial and uncom-
mitted, so that next December
Congress will have before it an
authoritative expression of opinion.

Dearth of material at present is
driving the Tokyo press to tax its
ingenuities to the utmost, so as to
get up some attractive devices. A
usual device of picking up quar-
rels with each other has been tried,
the Mainichi and the Koknu,in hav-
ing been conspicuous in this respect.
The doughty Mainichi is now de-
termined to offer challenges all
round, the challenge consisting in
caricatures representing what that
paper considers salient features of
each of it's metropolitan confreres.
The first cartoon that appeared was
directed against the YoroSu, rep
resented by picture of bully in
its popular tableau on the stage.
Then came the turn to the Nippon,
the cartoon this time being a half
length portrait of a man with his
hair dressed in an ancient fashion,
that is with top knot. For the
thid caricatural representation, the

nately, men are inventive, and their
ingenuity will devise some means
OF overcoming this. When that
has been done the era of the horse
less-man will begin. SO passes
away the friend OF thousands of
years. While the horse at times
may seem to have been lacking in
intelligence, it should be inscribed
on his tomb that he had one dis
tinctive virtue in that he never ran
away with any one in more than
one direction.

cal nets.
The Jeffries Fitzsimmons fight
ought to be notice to the NAVY
department which has planned the
new cruisers to run at 164 knots.
Probably Fitzsimmons is the
stronger man and no doubt has
more resisting qualities than Jeff
ries, but Jeffries had the speed. The
same was true when Corbett whip
ped. Sullivan. Admiral Farragut
used to say that when a boy he
saw candle shot through a board,
and he believed he could crush,
with the old wooden Hartford"
any ironclad in the world if he
could only get speed enough on.
Fighting ships to be fighters, in
deed, ought to be little speedier
than any ships of the same class
that the enemy could possibly
bring against them. 1t is strange,
too. that our Navy department
should take such departure.
Speed has always been the great
desideratum of the American peo-
pie. Many steamboat has been
blown up racing. Horse racing is
a national sport. Every engineer
or stoker on any railroad knows
which is the swiftest locomotive on
the line. Even great many Amer
lean women are very rapid with
out being fast. Men are still bet
ting on the voyages of clipper ships
between New York and San Fran
cisco and China. 1t extends to
every trade and profession. Brick
men dispute over the length of
time necessary to lay thousand
brick. Blacksmiths gamble on who
can make horse shoe or shoe
horse most quickly. Speed is the
one thing which most attention is
paid to, and that Our naval con-
struction board should 60 to work
to plan ships absolutely obsolete
as regards speed, is a disappoint-
ment to the whole Nation.-E.r-
change.

cotirtesan who has overgrown the

For the Nichi-Nichi we have a por-
trait of Baron Ito and a mask. it
being believed that the paper is un-

are the cartoons that have been pub
lished thus far, so that there still
remain quite large number, as Our
contemporary is reported to deal in
a similar way with all the Metropo-
Titan papers and perhaps the prin-
clpal periodicals. SO far only the
lorosn has taken the trouble of re-
turning THE courtesy. 1t has rep
resented its caricaturist with a
figure of an old man with bent back
and walking by the aid of a stick.
This is intended to mean that the

papers in Japan, is now verging on
dotage. Surely these exchanges of
journalistic courtesies are amusing

upon the lately increased value
which he has attained. In the
market place he fetches better
price than he did, but his day of
usefulness is as nearly over as ever.
AS yet we cannot do without the
horse. For purposes of luxury, in
deed, the horse is as indispensable
as ever, but no one can be blind to
the merits of those Internal inven-
tons that come buzzing along on
asphalt pavement with the celebrity
of scorcher on his wheel. Much
as we love the horse, we confess
that he cannot compete with this
animated sedan chair, this fune-
real-looking thing with wheels
four sizes too fat for it, and a
youthful engineer in charge, whose
perfect control over it keeps it
from running away when you
know it ought to, and stops it
when you know it ought to be top
ping people over in all directions.
Indeed, Our ideas about that mild
social dissipation called taking
drive" must be absolutely and radi-
cally changed with the advent of
this new device. There was an ele-
ment of uncertainty about horse
which made driving mild form of
sport, deemed sometimes hazard
GUS. The risk, however, is totally
different with these new mechani-
cal things, and the old rules don't
apply. 1t is not yet known how an
obstreperous motorman, who has
been given his head, is to be treat
ed if inclined to runaway, and it
will take years of experience to lay
down rules with regard to this,
which will be thoroughly practi-
cable, because the motorman, if so
inclined, could run away with you
in any one of three directions
ahead, astern or in circle. 1t certain
ly will not do to hold on to some
thing and yell "Whoa" at him; nor
is it likely that any soft words will
avail, even if you felt you could
utter them. He has you so COM
pletely at his mercy that he can
hold you up for any ransom he is
pleased to ask until his source of
powers run out. With horse YOU
are dealing with a senseless crea-
ture, and you can guide him against
stone wall or picket fence, where
he will proceed to dash himself to
pieces with the utmost CELEBRITY, and
you can extricate yourself from the
ruins if your head has been longer
than the horses. This is not a
habit which you can depend on in
a motorman of ordinary capacity,
unless he is under the malevolent
influence of liquor, and even then
it would be hard to drive him to
form of self-destruction from which
you yourself could be sure of es-
cape. Fortunately, we have as yet
advanced but little into the art of
controlling the motorman and his
carriage. and we still have orr ser
