Tnxnx is room for suspicion of ul- terior iofluence in the constancy with which the British government seeks to make King Oscar, of Swe- den, its arbiter in all international disputes. In the arbitration treaty with the Unived States he is named as the ultimate umpire. In the Venezucian treaty, just signed, he is to name the umpire in case the four arbiters selected fail to agree upon one, Ir looks very much as if the Mis- souri legislature would abrogate that portion of the common law which prevents recovery from the corpora- tion (master) for an injury sustained through the carelessness of a fellow servant. ‘Two bills that have passed the House will be reported favorably by the senate at once.

Apparently we have to permit our children. to learn a different kind of philosophy from that which we studied. —_——_ The Paducah “News” is greatly exercised because Phil Lynn was sent to the penitentiary for killing a ne- gro. The average Kentuckian can never see any harm in killing a ‘nig- ger.’’ Had the killing occurred in Paducah a race war would have been declared and the slaughter of ne- groes would not have stopped until every brave Paducahite had killed his negro. In Massav county justice is meeted out to whites and blacks alike and judgment is not given through prejudice. —Metropolis Dem- ocrat. Has not the‘‘Democrat,’’ incensed ‘at the unreasonable strictures of our contemporary, allowed itself in anger to do injustice to its near neighbor? Could it not have defended the action of its own courts without sbusing the good citizens of Paducah. C ily the editor of the ‘‘Democrat’’ in his sober thought will not stand by the harsh and woreasonable judgment he has passed on the people of Paducah and promulgated to the world through his columns, —___ Ir seems the Nevada legislators have an eye to the enjoyment of the big show, for which they have pro- vided a way and threaten to repeal the law unless the fight shall be pulled off at Carson. A movement has been projected to have it take place just within the borders of the state and as near Salt lake as pos- sible. This the legislators, who have taken sc much interest in the preser- vation of the good name of their state, object to, and say that unless the mill takes place at Carson they will repeal the law. It is presumed they all expect complimentary tiek- ets and do not care to pay the ex- pense and endure the fatigue of a trip to the border. They hold the trump card, and the fight will take place at Carson. They can rest in peace. They will all be able to wit- ness it. There is no danger of an adjournment of this learned body before the 17th of March. They will ali be on the ground and will all see the perfurmance, if theirconstitu- ents do pay for it. cisco on the arrival of the steamer Tue ‘‘Register’’ is exercised over the ‘gross provincialisms’’ that ap pear inthe Sun from dayto day. The Sun does not set itself up as a model of correct and elegant diction. It bases its claim toa standing be- fore the public on its effort to give all the news, unbiased and unvarnish- ed, in language the people can at least understand, and on a disposi- tion and desire so to conduct its edito- rial coluwns as to give justice to all. That its efforts in this direction are duly appreciated is evidenced by its large and growing circulation and influence, The self-gratulation in- dulged in by the ‘Register’ on the alleged ground that ‘the intelligent population will live and die in blissful ignorance,’ etc., based on {the pre- sumption that they do not read the Son, is laughable in view of the half life ave without blemish. But, ele te ed asa Republican on the regular carried himself as to justify the con- Ovr morning contemporary makes 8 feeble attempt to justify its course in the shape of editorial comment on the actions of the members of the bands, The only argument brought in support of its course 1s the asser- tion that other journa's do the same. Does the editor of the ‘Register expect to go to Heaven because some other people commit as great sins as he does? The commonest kind of common sense should teach any man that in the news columns of a paper should appear only an unvarnishad statement of facts. The opinions of the editor as to the motives actuating the persons involved should be re- served for that department of the pa- per specially set apart for that pur- pose. When editorial comment is mixed with the news, it may have undue influence as purporting to be fact instead of the mere opinion of the editor. Aun il'ustration of this is the necessity the ‘ Register" found itself under of surrendering to Col. Husbands almost a column of its space to defend himself from an ap- parent statement of fact. Had only the facts with reference to Col. Hus- bands’ decision been simply and plainly told in the news columns, avy strictures the editorial columns might have contained would probably have been passed unnoticed as merely the opinion of the editor, wnose force de- pended on its reasonableness. Not 80 when it is given as part of the “snews."? Or all the bible stories the one most commonly attacked by the clergy of liberal tendencies is that of Johah and the whale. Concluding a discourse in which he examined and commented at length on this chapter in the bible narrative, Rev. Dr. Ab- bott, of Brooklyn, says: “I am sorry that my simple statement that the psalm was composed in the belly of the fish made you laugh, I did not wish, and I do not wish to raise a laugh respecting avy religious faith or any book of the scripture, Nevertheless, I can but think the fact that that simple statement caused amusement shows the incongruity which lies in the very nature of the narrative. Some of you may thivk this history, some of you may think it a myth, some of you may think, as I think, itis parable cr fiction, told for the purpose of put- ting the narrowness and pettiness of even a preacher over against the graciousness of God. But whether you think of it as history.or myth or fiction, you can uot fail to see in it this one great transcendent revelation regarding God—in the salvation of the pagan sailors, in the salvation of the penitent prophet and in the sal- vation of the repentant Nineveh. At least 300 or 400 years before Christ said: ‘Many shall come from the East and the West and sit down in the kingdom of heaven,’”’ at least 2000 years before Faber wrote: “There is a widerness in God’s merey like the wideness of the sea,’* the unknown writer of the story of Jonah wrote this story, by its quaint bamor, by its satire of a narrow prophet, by its splendid illustration of {the wideness of the mercy and grace of God, to illustrate what only later Israel partially understood that God is more than judge, more than king—is the father and Savior of the whole human race.’” THE VENEZUELAN QUESTION, The Venezuelan treaty signed in Washington yesterday by representa- tives of the English and Venezuelan governments, Sir Julian Pauncefote credited with no less than fourteen! column devoted to an answer of|*24 Senor Jose Andrade, respective- murders, wll committed for money.}the Svn’s criticisms. ither the| !¥> ems to assure the early and sat- He would entice his intended victims] «pogister’? makes @ statement it|i#t8ctory adjustment of the diplo- foto the country for the purpose Of! knows to be untrue, or it classes its| M4tic differences that have separated showing mining property, or on other! own readers as without the category the two governments and threatened pretense, sud kill them, taking their! of the ‘intelligent population,” | Bostilities for « number of years, ‘The effects, In his trunks were found) which we leave to ite readers to | T@#ty provides that the tribunal shall Watebes, books and clotuing of his judge. consist of five jurists; two on the latest victim, asea captain, He is a —— part of Great Britain, nominated by man of fair education and only about 27 years of age, — We boast of our enlightenment and » + of our Christian civilization, but that des not prevent the most blood curd- * ling crimes in the annals of the world being committed daily. state, only a day or two since, # man “deliberately aud without the smallest lo our ow 4 unoffending schoolboy, apparently ‘, , ‘3 Provocation shoots down an innocent, for no other reason than the thirst for blood.

So long as the ‘‘Register’’ keeps within the lines of legitimate journalism the Sew will not be found criticising it. We do not desire a newspaper Controversy, preferring to live at peace with our contemporaries, and believing our matters of general public interest. But when it becomes necessary in the defense of prominent citizens or otherwise to utter criticism, it will be fearlessly done.

The diamond-backed terrapin is an aristocratic denizen of Chesapeake bay, and worth almost its weight in gold to the epicure of the fashionable cafe. The diamond-backed terrapin is only another naine for a small species of turtle, and time was when the colored people of Maryland ate them after roasting them in thgir shells, and never @reamed of their value as food for a royal menu. Now, a terrapin farm isa mine of wealth to its possessor. A true story is told of @ poor negro fisherman who chanced upon a nest of diamond backs near Tangier island in 1893. In four hours he took out $1,200 worth, and stopped only when too ex- hausted to work. Terrapins “in pound” present an in- teresting, but by no means an appetiz- ing appearance. The pound {s a place where the fishermen keep the turtles vatil they are shipped to some city to the markets. The farms where they are cultivated are flooded with sea wa- ter, so that the little object preserves its delicatessen qualities unimpaired. There are certain rules understood by those who purchase terrapin. ‘They are careful to observe that the extreme tip or muzzle is not injured, that the bottom of the feet is not worn off, that the head is prettily shaped— small, thin and pointed, and the eyes brilliant. The feet should be smal! and slende: Cooking terrapin properly is such an art that only @ cbief or a Marylander hould be permitted to give instruc- tions. To begin with, the first rule is @ challenge to the humane society: “Plunge the terrapin alive into boiling water.” Then “boil until the skin and toenails come off.” When the rudi- menteries and vitels are dispased of, the rich, sweet meat, which is better than chicken or canvasback duck, or frogs’ legs, is stewed and prepared with an affinitive sauce, and a “dish of Madeira,” or “a little good sherry,” and in one recipe a pint of pale brandy, to which @ match shall be set when it is turned over the terrapin,” are added to make the delicacy complete. The only people who can cook the terrapin es it demands are the Mary- land cooks, who learned from the col- ored people, and their secret of success is to handle it aa little as possible and to serve it from the dish in whith it was cooked, thus preserving its native juices and aromas, The dash of wine isan in- novation of art. On the terrapin farms of the Cheaa- peake @ peculiar sport is indulged in by the men, called “terrapin racing.” The turtles are let loose in a room, where at one end a hot fire is blazing, protect- ed by aguard, They all begin a ecram- ble for the light and warmth, the men betting on particular ones. They bave no continuity of purpose, and are like- ly to ete ey gr Hl devious routes, but the terrapin that first puts its nose against the fire wins the race. Terrapin are rated value with a family pedigree tag, which simply gives the name of the state whence they come. First on the list for its terrapin is Chesapeake bay. Next comes Long Island. Then Virginia, Charleston and Savannah, Florida, Mo- bile and the gulf follow, Mississippi end North Carolina and other points eouth furnish excellent terrapin. Now for prices, Eighty dollars » dozen is not considered high for chaice terrapin at certain seasons and on spe- cial occasions, A modest housekeeper saw one crawling over some lobsters in a fish market, and out of curiosity in- quired the price. “What tipee is it?” asked the market- man, looking at his watch. “You may have it for three dollars, but if it was ex o'clock toni, and Lonly had that one, I should have to charge you more. I expect some in at ary moment.” Detroit Free Press. ‘The Clever Bengalees. Two Bengalees have lately attracted much attention, One, named Bose, a physicist in Calcutta, has made some researches in invisible electricity which have excited admiring astonishment in Lord Kelvin, while anether, named Chatterjee, has come out far at the head of the competitors for the Indian civil service. A third, Lieut. Biswas, ig said to have displayed extraordinary gallantry in Brazil, but though his name is Bengalee we should like further information as to his lineage, and the causes which led a Bengalee to accept * commission in Bouth America, The first two stories do not surprise us, who have always maintained toes the Ben- galee is the most intellectual of Asiat- ics, and far the superior of most Eu- ropeans both in subtlety of thought and the power of acquiring information. Indeed the superiority of his brain, at all events until he is 80, is @ political diffeulty. If admitted to office by a fair aystem of competition, he would in ten years monopolize office and ren- der the administration of Indie impos- sible, The other races of India will not obey him, and e@ a rule he does not possess the kind of morale which is ex sential to the work of government,— London Spectator.
