Arbiters Of War.

1t used to be said that no first class
European power could afford to go to
war without receiving the sanction Of
the R%othschilds. Today, according to
a writer in the New York Journal Of
Commerce, it a be said that two
groups of New York financiers virtu-
ally dominate the larger financial at
fairs of this country. and woe betide
those who seek.to try conclusions with
them. j. P. Morgan s. Co. and the
Standard Oil interests. including e.
81. Hartman and Kuhn, Loeb & Co,
today occupy the same place In the
United States that the Rothschilds
held and to a considerable extent still
hold in Europe. The Goulds have
made q stubborn fight to preserve their
independence. but with disastrous con-
sequences. and as every fresh victory
adds to the power of the dominating
combination the chances Of successful
opposition diminish. "'Tis true tits
pity; pity tits tits true" There is not
an important railroad in the United
States that does not come under the
influence Of these fnanciers, and the
evidences are that the scope Of this
community Of interest is steadily Wild
ening. l>

MEXICAN wARsHIp SAILS.
Destination Said to Be the Republic
Of Honduras.

City of Mexico, Aug. 26.-Relations
between Mexico and the republic of
Honduras have reached a crisis.
War between the two republics may
be expected any time, according to
the latest reports.
The trouble has practically come
out of a clear sky, as up to date the
two nations have been on an extreme
~ friendly basis.
Manned by a double e the Mex
lean gunboat Bravo left the port Of
Vera Cruz under sealed orders.
The Bravo has been equipped with
an extra supply of ammunition and
double guard of marines. Several
small field pieces were put on the
craft and every preparation made for
q boarding expedition.
Mystery surrounds the cause OF the
sudden trouble between Mexico and
Honduras. All that is known is that
the Mexican authorities are much
aroused over certain events that have
occurred in Honduras and will demand
satisfaction to the fullest extent Of
international law.

The Unwritten Law.

Long ago the duel was prohibited by
law, and the world was well rid Of 1t.
In its stead, in certain cases all. too
common. we have today an appeal to
the unwritten law. The newcomer
seems fully us Objectionable rs its pred
ecessor, more SO in certain Instances.
In the old days when the duel al a
popular method of settling affairs Of
honor a Jealous husband could chal-
lenge the man he believed had vio-
lated his home and seek revenge at
the pistols point. His enemy, guilty
or guiltless Of the .offense charged.
then had at least a chance for his life.
The unwritten law method is far
safer for the husband who is actually
aggrieved or who merely fancies he Is.
BY an appeal to the unwritten law a
man may make sure that his honor
will be satisfied without even a sug-
gestion of peril to himself. All that 1t
is necessary for him to. do is to pro
cure a pistol and, after testing It
thoroughly. find his Intended victim
under circumstances %precluding either
explanation or resistance. One or
more shots will then meet the require
ments Of the Ease.
In New York recently two brothers.
one Of them an army officer. the other
a novelist who had already killed his
man, hunted up the alleged yiolator OF
the officers home. The brothers were
well armed. and one Of them had come
to slay. The victim vas unarmed. de
f~enseless. unsuspecting. he was mur-
dered in sight Of his wife and friends.
who were as powerless to aid him as
ne was to aid himself.
Now the unwritten law. aided by q
plea of insanity. will be invoked by
the murderer in order to escape the
electric chair. Harry &. Thaw sue
