EUROPEAN MUTTERINGS.

Notwithstanding that st. Petersburg

the effect that the governments OF
France and England are striving in
every way and in the most friendly
manner to smooth over all the difficult
ties existing" it is known that the re-
lations between the two powers are
badly strained.
Fin2nciers in France as well as poll
ticians, have made up their minds that
England is trying to humiliate France
or to force a war. It is reported that
the feeling even extends to the masses,
which accounts for the phenomenal
Withdrawals from the banks of France
during the pass few weeks
Ever since the Fashoda incident
French statesmen have been extremely
sensitive, a feeling which the subse-
quent remarks of the British ambassa-
dor in Paris did not by any means al
lay. French newspapers may be re-
sponsible, in a measure, for the spread
ing alarm among the people, but not
for the opinions Of financiers and
statesmen, which they follow rather
than direct.
In London the matter is not regarded
so seriously, although reports
from Madagascar have aroused
some Of the English journals
and sown seeds of resentment
among the people A strong sup
porter of the British government is
quoted by the London correspondent of
New York journal as saying that it
is folly to allow French protectorates
to be established in regions open to
British trade, as French promises of
fair treatment are not worth the paper
they are written on
Just why the censors of st. Peters
burg should permit the impression to go
out that England and France are pre-
pairing to smoke the pipe of peace is
not, clear, owing to affairs in the far
east, but it is more than likely that the
czar would lull every other power to
sleep with the purT' Of his peace pro
posals and his friendly services in the
disarmament of Europe.
If he can only induce the British lion
and the French lamb to lie down to-
gether and the Turkey to come down

Art of Lying.
CNew York Herald.)


seem TO have had a rather large ac-
quaintance with liars, and 1 find that
they divide themselves naturally into
four classes, says David Christie Muir
ray, the writer. There is the cruel and
scandalous liar, who makes mischief
in your home or among your friends,
and who is one of the greatest curses
of social life. There is the man who
lies for profit and he also IS a danger
to the trustful and unwary. Then there
is the man who lies because of his own
exaggerated sense of self-importance,
and the constant craving to astonish
or interest other people. He is almost
harmless, and is generally man of
excessive .amiability. Then there is the
purely humorous liar who is an una
dulterated boon and blessing.

COURTMARTIAL EAGAN.
Eagan is either an ass or a lunatie

Eagan is either an ass or a lunatic.
He talks like a wild-eyed storm
starter. In trying to revenge himself
upon General Miles he sows the seeds
OF discord and disaster broadcast in
the army.
At the head of the commissary de-
partment during the late war with
Spain, Eagan demonstrated his utter in
efficiency. Now he shows the reason
He is more of a maniac than an i'm
beetle, more vicious than foolish, and
yet too much Of both.
He ought to be marched through
Pennsylvania avenue with & placard on
his back, bearing the inscription,
''Eagan, the ASS led by fifer and
drummer, playing THE Rogue's
March" and followed by a crowd Of
hoodlums, the like of which he is fitted
by birth and education to lead.
His sword should be broken over his
head. his shoulder straps ripped from
his coat, his head shaved, and ball
and chain fastened to his leg.
AS a rebel, as a mutinous instigator
of INSTRUMENTATION in the army. as a
dangerous fool in responsible posi-
ton, as a blackguard incapable of con-
Quoting himself either as an officer or
a gentleman; as a disgrace to the army,
to the nation, and to civilization,
Eagan, the commissary general, de-
serves the severest punishment that a
courtmartial has it in its power to in
fict.
Els words reflect the foul-mouthed,
ape-headed, rotten-hearted moral, men
tai and social degenerate that he is.
People may hear language like Eagan
uses in his statements concerning
Miles, printed in this mornings dis
patches, without needing it; but when
a subordinate officer in the United
States regular army delivers himself
II such a manner, referring to his SUI
perior. what more serious infraction Of
military discipline could be imagined?
Many a poor private is serving his
term in a government prison, or feed
ing the worms in a dishonored grave,
Cor less than Eagan, to whom soldiers
look for example, has said and done.
Are courtsmartial held solely for the
punishment of ignorant, inexperienced
private soldiers, or for men who have
been educated at the governments ex-
pense as we'll?

PARENTS AND THE PUBLIC.

The Herald is in receipt of a COM
munication advocating the enactment
of state cdrfew law, the purpose of
which is to keep children Of school age
and under off the streets of cities and
towns after 9 O'Clock in the evening.
AS there Will be a great many I'M
necessary bills introduced, anyhow,
there is no particular reason why such
a one should be added to the list.
If it were intended for husbands who
stay out Of nights, excepting newspaper
men, of course, it might be worth con-
sidering. Compulsory home going
would be more justly and benef1cially
applied to fathers than to children.
The world is rapidly advancing to such
point, anyhow, and the quicker it
comes the sooner the dread of it will
pass.
Whenever it becomes necessary to
make children good by legislation, the
law might as well go step further and
force them to stay good. There is some
doubt as to whether, in the long run,
the best results are obtained by the
public assuming a responsibility that
oil CcAy OG4O4iS5S " Tic pdIGnl.
It may make better citizens of boys
and girls to drive them off the streets,
but this is questionable. If parents
are unable to keep them at home with
out the aid of policemen, they will not
be able to keep them from congregating
elsewhere, in secret places, where the
influences are fully as bad. Nor does
the arrest of children contribute very
largely to the good morals or good or
der of the community.
A plan to fine parents for not taking
better care of their children, for not
keeping them within certain bounds,
for not teaching at home the lesson
they would have patrolmen teach,
would be more sensible. The response
bility in such cases ought to be fixed
where it belongs.
The notion that state legislators or
city councilmen can supply by law or
ordinance the deficiencies of home
training, is somewhat chimerical.

SHOULD AL TAKE TRIPS.

President Mckinley knows very lit
tie about the west. Like President
Cleveland, he is ignorant of the condi-
lions, requirements and wishes of the
people who occupy three-fourths of the
great empire of which he is supposed
to be the head.
His cabinet was largely selected from
timber that grew up in the same wood
pasture. Secretary Bliss made his first
trip west when he accompanied the
presidential party to Omaha last spring.
His successor however, has been in
China and Russia, which may not en-
able him to know any more about In
dian affairs and mineral lands than did
Mr.. Bliss.
Secretary Long was never west of
Chicago in his life, and never south of
the Potomac river until ne made his
recent tour with President Mckinley.
There are a number of New England
and other eastern statesmen who have
a potent influence in shaping legisla-
ton and outlining a course for the
youthful west to follow. and it wouldn't
be a bad idea to make up purse and
have a special trainload OF them sent
over the country. While it might be
money wasted on these who have sworn
TO never change their minds, with
others it would be bread cast upon the

CORNERlNG COPPER.

Periodical announcements are made
of desire on the part of the Roths-
childs to corner the worlds copper.
While no one questions their inclination
to corner anything in which there is
money, copper properties are SO extern
sive, scattered and desirable that it
would require a greater expenditure of
money and labor than anyone who is
already doing fairly well might feel dis
posed to make
But now the word comes by cable, via
New York. that Paris, the most active
market in Europe for refined copper,
credits the latest report that some of
the leading financial concerns Of the
two henisDheres contemplate the for
nation of a syndicate to secure con-
trolling interests in the principal COP
per producing mines Of the world.
The chief promoters of the scheme
are said to be the Rothschilds and t5e
Rockefellers, but many other million
aires are counted upon to follow The
leadership of these houses on their re-
s9ective sides of the Atlantic.
Some credence has been attached by
newspapers and mining men in this
country to the alleged movements in
the direction of amalgamating the cop
per interests of the United States They
are accepted in Paris as lending color
to the Rothschild-R Rockefeller combina-
ton.
But this rather common impression
is not shared by the highest French au-
thority on copper mines and copper
markets. The gentleman to whom this
distinction is accorded was interview
ed the other day by the Paris CORE
spondent Of the New York Tribune. and
he stated his belief that no corner was
contemplated. Among other reasons for
his opinion he gave the following:
There is an unusual demand now for
the Durest electrolytic copper Tor cleo
trical construction work. The worlds
supply of this material for 1887 was
only $1,000 tons, of which 10000 tons
came from America. The present price
of standard copper is considered re-
munerative and satisfactory to produc-
ers, and, if maintained, is likely to
bring numerous partially developed or
silent mines which exist in Tasmania,
Norway and all over the world into the
list of producers, and thereby cheaper
the price of copper. These considera-
tons are sufficient to prevent clear
headed capitalists, whether in France
or the United States, from Alternating
to push any amalgamation schemes to
a point which would cause a corner or
MONOPOLY
Still, it is known that the Rothschilds
have recently increased their holdings
of copper securities immensely; that
the Standard Oil people are investing;
that the development of copper prop
critics is watched with greater interest
than almost any others, and that it Is
very difficult to buy share Of stock
in well established copper mine.

ADJUSTMENTS.

A house filed to the top greeted
Frank Daniels in 1.-The Idols Eye" at

Not only was every seat filled, but
each occupant seemed overjoyed that

The singing is not an important con-

HEALTH OF TEACHERS.


Every patron of the public schools is
interested in legislation which tends to
improve the school system, and to pro-
teet the health and morals of the chill
dren. The measure introduced yester-
day in the state legislature of Utah to
provide for a medical examiner for
schools in cities Of the first and second
class, was conceived in a spirit Of real
devotion to the welfare of the schools,
no doubt, ard is intended to strengthen
some apparent defects.
But the bill, from the synopsis at
hand, seems to cover ground already
covered in the code. to single out a
class for the special application Of
rule which, under existing laws, now
applies TO the whole people, to teachers
and to everyone else.
It provides for the appointment of a
medical examiner, whose duties shall
be to inspect the sanitary condition of
the school buildings, a most important
duty to be sure, and to inquire into
the general health Of teachers and pu-
pills, making recommendations for their
wen-being, and otherwise looking out
ii would require some little time to
get accustomed to doctors calling at
the school-rooms, looking at the
tongues of the youngsters, feeling the
pulses of teachers, and testing their
temperature and lung expansion, it
might all be for the ultimate best.
That part of the bill which requires
that a teacher who develops a con-
taeious or infectious disease shall for
felt his or her teachers certificate" is
a trihe unreasonable. People may have
measles, diphtheria, or even smallpox,
and come out of the ordeal as much
entitled to their certificate of intellec-
tual standing as to a certificate Of
character; and they are apt to be as
healthful when recovered as are those
who were fortunate enough to evade
the contagion or infection-they are
certainly immune from such maladies
thereafter.

Advantage of Red Hair.
CNew York Press.)


Red-headed men and women enjoy a
decided advantage over their fellow
mortals with hair Of other colOrs, in
that they are less subject to badness.
Scientists have pondered over this con-
dition without finding a satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION for it. Generally speaking, the
mental and physical tendencies CT the
Titan element are not different from
those OF ether people, at all events not
sufficiently SO to account for the more
durable growth of hair.
A physician with a bent for investi-
CATION has made a study Of the sub
ject, and explains that the red-headed
person mas the advantage because red
hairs are thicker than other kinds, and
it takes fewer OF them to cover a scalp.
He finds that one red hair is as thick
as five blonde Or three brown hairs.
Thus, a scalp is well covered with 3d.
600 red hairs, While it would appear
to be bald with the same number of
blonde hairs. His investigation shows
that it takes 10000 blonde, or 105,000
brown hairs to cover an average head
adequately.
