DELAYING THE INEVITABLE.
Mr. Mills is like the President, In that
he refuses to learn anything about the tariff
from the returns of November. Yesterday
the Texas member went to the trouble of
discovering that the Republican tariff pro
posals do not amount to anything because
their bill "originated in the Senate," which
is contrary to the Constitution. Inasmuch
as the Senate put its plan in the shape of an
amendment to a House bill, and not as an
original bill of its own the point is not yet
quite clear that Mr. Mills' objection is con
cl alive.
It is not, however, any fear that the cons
titutionality of the Senate amendment
would be questioned by the country which
moves Chairman Mills. Opposition to the
Republican way of reducing the snrplus,
and adhesion to the Democratio ideas of
tariff reduction is the sole motive for conten
tion. As the Republican policy is bound
to be tried anyhow, for all practical pur
poses the present House might as well af
firm the Senate measure as leave it to the
succeeding House to do.
The tariff is rightly no more a partisan
question than it is a local issue. It is a
matter of business expediency, upon which
the country has just passed in a most un
mistakable manner; and what leading
Democrats have to gain for their party by
continuing to antagonize the verdict of No
vember is in no degree clear.
"WHAT FEAKCE NEEDS.
Unless some man with strong right arm,
stout heart and balanced brain, who will
put his country above himself, her interests
above his own, shall arise within her coun
cils, France, the Republic, will fall before
many more months have flown. Whether
France will fali a victim to Bou anger's
ambition or merely crumble into ruin amid
the wars of partisans, is a question time
alone can answer. It is certain, however,
that France's need for a patriot strong enough
to be her savior has never been greater than
it is to-day.
It is very hard to understand how the
Floquet Ministry came so suddenly upon
defeat yesterday. The assertion that M.
Floquet himself expected to be beaten on
the question of a revision of the constitution,
and saw in such a defeat a safe way out of
his embarrassment, must be taken with a
grain of salt niter the event. Probably M.
Floquet was as much surprised as his oppo
nents were, and that the latter did not ex
pect a victory is plainly shown by their
failure to follow it up.
It was hardly intended to fulfil such a
purpose, but at present it seems as if the ex
position at Paris might prove the salvation
of the Republic till the summer at least is
over. Every Frenchman wants to see the
exposition succeed, and to effect this result
a sort of armed truce between the enemies of
the Republic and its friends may be tacitly
agreed upon.
A QUESTION OF METHODS.
A band of pickpockets in Chicago is re
ported to hare devoted its exclusive atten
tion to relieving ladies returning from shop
ping of their purses. Commenting tin this
the Boston Glole remarks that Chicago la
dies must be very different from Boston
ladies, the latter seldom having any money
in their purses when they return from
shopping. Perhaps after all the difference
may lie in the methods -of the shopkeepers.
, In Chicago, possibly, the storekeepers in
stead of cleaning out the customers' pockets
in the conventional way, have organized
the band of depredators in question to se
cure any stray driblets of cash which their
salesmen have failed to extract. In such
matters as these we shall always expect to
see Chicago ahead of Boston, as regards
originality and boldness of plan.
v
OVERDOING THEIETASK.
If the investigation into the inner work
ings of the Home Rule party of Ireland
were not already the most remarkable pro
ceedings in modern political history, the
quality of the evidence now brought for
ward to damn Parnell and his associates
would certainly entitle the affair to that
unique distinction.
Obviously, to any mind not completely
occupied by prejudice, the proper proceed
ing from the first in regard to Parnell and
his companions was to indict them, if the
Government believed it had testimony to
connect them with crime. That this was
not feasible was clear from the failure of
the Government to take that step. Who
doubts that Balfour, who imprisons the
Irish: members for venal offenses, would
be glad enough to lay his hands on Parnell
and his lieutenants for greater trangres
sions, and would have taken the risk of
proceeding long ago, if there was a gleam
of hope for success? But though trials and
convictions of other persons for offenses
have been plenty asblackberries, and though
the Tories have had the whole machinery
ot the Government at their disposal, they
never found a pretext for calling Pajnefl
into court as an inspirer or accomplice in
crimes of violence.
Failing in this, they set up the Special
Commission as a fishing inquiry with full
power to go into details of everything done
by everybody claiming to act as a member
of the Home Rule party. Paid spies and
informers were then plentifully introduced
to couple in some way or another Parnell's
name with plots and conspiracies. The
slightest incident was not too little to serve
as a basis for this business. The preseuce
of men in meetings at which Parnell spoke;
the fact of his giving his autograph to one
fellow, or shaking hands upon introduction
to another anything was good enough to
make him an accomplice as to dynamite,
arson and assassination. Nothing could bo
worse than the logic of this poor pretense of
proof, unlets indeed it were the character
-of the witnesses by whom il was offered.
Bat there is probably an end to the string
now. The chief accuser of Parnell, the
man whff furnished , the letters, now de
nounces Labouchere' also, claiming that the
eminent English Liberal tried to bribe him
with 1,000 into false testimony. There
must be some point at which even the
Tories will cease to credit such confessed,
rascals as have been their mainstay so far in
these proceedings. "We judge ft is reached
when these charges are made -against a man
of such note and reputation for integrity as
Labouchere is. After a few more distin
guished Englishmen are slandered by the
suborned witnesses against the Home Bute
party, all England will feel disposed to cry,
"hold, enough."
THE REVOLT AGAINST BOODLE.
One of the questions of public interest,
which is at present being discussed more or
less by various State Legislatures, is that of
reforming ihe ballot. That there is a grow
ing popular sentiment against what Is
known as the boodle method in politics can
not be gainsaid. That the evil for which
a remedy is sought is widespread none eit
cept the willfully blind or corrupt will
deny. No section of the country is alto
gether free from its contaminating influ
ences, while in some cities and towns, and
even in wholo States, it is charged, if not
proven, that boodle is king, controlling ap
pointments, appropriations, legislation and
the administration ot the laws.
There Is a class of politicians who are
not troubled by consciences, who look upon
bribery, forged returns and stolen offices as
excellent jokes, providing these practices
succeed without bringing the originators
into unpleasant prominence. It is to this
class, as well as to the bribe takers and
bribe, givers, that legislators should turn
their attention, if they would frame laws
that are to be effective. la other words, the
punishment should be made to fit the crime,
and there should be left no loophole through
which the actual criminal can escape, while
his ignorant hirelings pay the full pen
alty. In all States there are laws
which make bribery a crime, punishable
either by fine, imprisonment or disfran
chisement; but the infrequenoy with which
convictions ore made under these laws
shows that they are cither defective or else
the officers charged with their enforcement
are neglectful of their duties. In many
cases both conditions probably exist. To
deal with the subject successfully is exceed
ingly difficult, and the highest degree of
legislative wisdom is necessary to frame
laws that will be an improvemcnt.on those
now in force.
But the evil exists and must be cured, or
the degrading of rthe ballot, now confined
chiefly to thickly populated districts, will
become general. "We do not believe that
complete reform can be brought about by a
change in the laws legislative cure-alls are
the hobbies of cranks and quacks; but some
thing may be accomplished by intelligent
effort in this direction, and vastly more by
an awakened public conscience. That
there is a revolt against political corruption
and boodle politics in general is proven by
the public interest aroused Jjy the present
discussion of the question in many parts of
the country. Let us hope that good may
result
COURTING HISS CANADA.
It is said that a nice little party of four
hundred there seems to, be a i pell about
that number of Canadian grandees has
been invited to come across the border and
see what sort of a place the United States
is. Some generous gentlemen among us
have, in fact, bade the whole Canadian
parliament -make a tour of the Middle,
Southern and Eastern States at their ex
pense. The party will invade the United
States about May 1, in Pullman cars, armed
with the latest brands of cigars and any
amount of champagne. To expound the
mysteries and point out the lions of our
great cities, and to help get rid of the wine
and cigars, members of the two houses of
Congress will be in attendance.
Pittsburg has a personal interest in this
Canadian tourist party, for this city is
naturally included in the list of places to
be visited. Her Chamber of Commerce and
her manufacturers will be asked to exhibit
Pittsburg's resources and exceptional gifts
to our Northern neighbors. What the pre
cise object of giving the Canadian legis
lators such a delightful junket is has not
been yet explained. It is, however, sup
posed to have been conceived as a means
whereby Canadians may be made to see how
desirable it would be for them to ask Uncle
Sam to take them to his bosom. It can
hardly be that Canada is to be supplicated
to annex us.
Perhaps the tour will give pleasure and
rest to the Canadian legislators and our
own fatigued Congressmen, but that de
pends in some measure upon the quality of
the cigars and the quantity of thewine.
That it is a dignified or useful action on the
part of American citizens, and one to be
indorsed by Congress, we take the liberty
of doubting. The United States is pot so
terribly anxious to acquire Canada and her
casket of debts, after all. If the Canucks
do not know or cannot see what a gain it
would be to them far greater than to us
to have all the barriers commercial and
political, between us removed, it is hardly
likely that a free junket through the States
will clear their brains and open their eyes.
We can wait until they are ready to dis
cuss the question; and in return would it
not be well to allow them to wait in like
manner?
SNUBS BADLi CLASSIFIED.
A gentleman vaguely described as an
attache of one of the foreign legations has
been telling a Hew York Sun reporter
about the brainless youths he has met at
receptions and balls in Gotham, and inci
dentally he remarks that "One can afford
to be snubbed by a duke, but nobody will
swallow an insult from a man who has not
social position, wealth or wit- to reepmmend
him."
In this confession may be observed one of
the essential differences between a repub
lican and a man brought up amid the snob
bish notions of monarchical court life. An
American would resent a snub from a duke
with as much heartiness, wc may be sure,
as he would tho sneer of a snob in Xcw
Xork City. It reminds us of the story of
the man who boasted that the King had
spoken to him, and who, when asked to re
peat the substance of this regal condescen
sion, replied: "He told me to get out of his
way!"
A PBOGRESSIVE PEOPLE.
Eor a long time the Japanese (govern
ment has been sending to this country each
year a number of its brighiest young men
to be eduoated. Theso students have been
quick to conform to our ways, and many of
them have given evidence of scholarship of
a high order. It would bciinpossibletodeter
mine how far thn study of our political insti
tutions has been instrumental in bringing
about the change in the form of government
lately adopted in Japau; but that it has
had its effect will scarcely be. questioned.
The ,Tnpaaese,' whatever -erroneous options
may be current to 'the contrary, are really a
people of quick intelligence, and far mere
progressive than most Asiatic nations.
Within the last 25 years they havo ad

constitutional government, a parliament
similar to that of Great Britain, and an ex
tension of the right of suffrage to all men 25
years of age and over who pay a tax of not
less than $25 yer year. Moreover, the coun
try has a postal system, public schools, an
army and a navy, modeled after those of
America. Its commerce with the rest of the
world is growing.rapidlv, arid railroads are
being constructed which will surely aid In
developing the internal resources of the em
pire. For a heathen nation this is not so
slow. '
Oil is just moving up and also down
enough to make the tender lamb sigh for
the fields of his former fleecing. And the
brokers sigh, too, because the lambs are
neither so numerous' nor so ingenuous as
they were in the sweet long ago.
A cotempoeabY suggests that a pro
cession of the "original Harrison men" be
made a feature of the inauguration day
ceremonies. This might be interesting, but
it wouldn't be fair. The original "Harrison
men are so numerous that if all of them
should attempt to parade at once there
would be no room for anybody else in the
procession. They have had glory enough
and ought to be willing to stand back and
give the soldiers a chance.
A New York weekly called Lies will

TnE essential difference between Mr.
Mills and the late Mr. Christopher Colum
bus is chiefly to be found in the fact that
the latter's discovery of America was a
benefit to tho world, while the gentleman
from Texas discovered a mare's nest, which
will not oven beflefit himself. Why docs
not Mills discover his proper vocation in
life?
The half-breed Indians in Bartlett

Edison said in a recent interview that he
believed the phonograph might be success

the night.

THE TOPICAL TALKl'R,
More Cable Car Incivility Odd Paces From
n, Notebook of To-Day's Filling.
Is there any reason why tho conductor of a '
caniocarsnouiuuot ue as civil as any otaer
like official in his dealings with the public?
Two serious comDlaints of cross Incivility on
tho part' of the cable car Conductors have
reached The Dispatch office. In one case a
dapper young conductor, with' a light mus
taoho, was asked to stop the car it was on the
Citizens' traction line at Penn avenuo and
Eleventh street. It was about 11 o'clock on
Thursday night and the car was crowded with
people going from the Bijou Theater. The
conductor heard the request, bnt before the
people who wished to get out and reach the
Union depot could uako their way through the
crowd In the aisle tho conductor started the
car. The gentleman of tho party.again asked
the conductor to stop, and he replied:' "I did
stop once you're too blamed slow."
On another car of the same hue a few mln
'utes later the conductor did not stop at
Eleventh street as requested, and a lady was
carried two blocks beyond, -and missed her
train at the Union depot. The conductormade
an insolent remark to her also.
I have the names and addressos ot all the
complainants in these cases, and the Citizens'
Traction Company ought to attend to the mat
ter at once. It would bo well for the aggrieved
parties to note the number of the car on which
they have received 111 treatment, .for then the
punishment of the, offenders, can easily bo ef
fected. .

V
There was a curlons cloud phantom in the
heavens last night. About 7 o'clock while the
full moon flooded city and field with Its won
drous light there slowly rose in the south
western sky some long filmy fingers of white
cloud. Venus shone brightly in this quarter of
sky, though a halo hung about her.
The long ringers ot white cloud, through
which the pale wintry blue of the firmament
beyond could plainly be seen, rose steadily-till
near the zenith. At this point they seemed to
converge toward the horizon until they formed
an exact image of a gigantic hand, spread
open, with thumb and fingers in proper propor
tion. This strange semblance stayed intact for ten
minutes or more. A few hundred years ago
such a 'thing would have brought to the be
holder prophetic warning of some stirring shift
of fortune. Even at this late day the heart of
man cannot but feel a touch of the ominous
when the clouds above him take such graphic
shapes.

claims, involving an indebtedness to tho State
of 5300,803 42, of which he collected and paid
into the State Treasury $113,036 42. In addi
tion to these claims, collections were made in
tho years Indicated on other previously certified
Claims, aggregating $182,623 61, making the
total amounts recovered $3C5,68o 08 In 1S87 and
18S9. On these claims the Attorney General Is
entitled to 5 per cont commission, not exceed
ing $7,000 a year, which netted him, in addition
to his salary, 314,000 for two years.
In deciding cases involving the taxation of
gross receipts, the Attorney General intimates
that tho SuDrema Conrt of the United States
has Deen guilt;
r of InconststenoT. as he alleles
that in a case
decided in 1ST2 that tribunal held
that tho tax
on gross receipts for transporta-
tion of goods or passengers from other States
Into or through Pennsylvania, or from Penn
sylvania into other States, was not in conflict
wun tno Federal constitution, while since the
Conrt has rendered decisions that taxation by
States of grots receipts of transportation or
telegraph companion, so far as they arise from
inter-State business, Is a regulation of
commerce and prohibited by the
National Constitution. In view of
the failure or tho Commonwealth to
collect this tax the past few years, the account
ing departments now confines the tax on gross
receipts to business done within the State.
The largest amount collected was from the
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company,
charged with a tax on gross receipts of $175,.
900 35, of which 3100,000 was obtained on a com
promise made by the Board of Accounts. The
next in amount was the claim against ex-Treasurer
Bally and his securities, amounting to
$70,000 80. This money has been deposited In a
bank which suspended while it bad the money
on deposit. Other claims collected ran from
$1 63 to 513.410 46, tho latter having been
paid by the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany. Nearly SOO appeals were pending at the
cloee of last year, amounting to about $2,000,

QUICK WESTERN DIT0ECES.
A New York Jndgo Thinks Thex Should
Not bo Recognized.
fSrZCIJLL TILXQIUlil TO THE DISPATCH.!
New York, February 15. Cora DeHadley, a
pretty brunette, was arraigned In the Adams
Street Police Conrt in Brooklyn to-day, ac
cused of bigamy, having, as alleged, married
Gilbert M. Atwood with the knowledge that he
had another wlfo living. The fact that Miss
DeHadley had been married to Atwood on
January 1 by tbe Rev. S. B. Halliday was not
disputed, but the point was raised in her de
fense that she thought Atwood had obtained
divorce. She told how sho had become ac
quainted with Atwood two years ago, while
they wero fellow clerks In a Fulton street dry
goods store, and of calls which she mads on
his wife at their house. She knew of the trou
ble between Atwood and his wife, which re
sulted In his trip to the West and of his re
turn with some papers, which be declared con
tained a judgment of divorce obtained in Colo
rado. She made no secret whatever of her marriage
and was careful to have a notice inserted in
the papers. She would not hare thought of
marrying Mr. Atwood if she thonght his first
-wifo had any claim upon him. Justice Walsh
severely commented on the failure of Miss
DeHadley to consult Mrs. Atwood about a
matter of so much importance to each. "Every
one," he said,."knew with what easo a divorce
is procured in the West A man jumps off a
train, sees a lawyer, pays his fee and gets
aboard again with his divorce papers In his
pockets. Such divorces should not be recog
nized." He decided to bold the defendant to
await the action of tbe grand jury, and she
was released on furnishing $500 bail. Atwood,
who was out on bail, has been rearrested, hav
ing been surrendered by his bondsmen.

TIOTMONICS;
la Ihe Art ol Forgettlns Stare Valnah'le
Than That' of Remembering? When it
Would bo tJseYoI Worry Would be a
Thing of tbo Past Sufferers Might Pass
Their Dismal Hours In Dllrth and
Hevelrx.
From the London Globe.1
That tueful and indispensable machine, the
memory, is noted for the difficulties which it
causes to those who try to manage It It in
sists on having lta own way as to what it, will
forget or remember, and there is no knowing
at what moment a freak may not seize it, and
make It Incurably obstinate. In view of this,
certain sanguine and enthusiastic persons are
forever trying to invent artificial ways of re
membering things. There Is an art of memory
which has its professors and Its students, though
whether it confers degrees, and how far it has
yet fallen into the vice of examinations, are
matters on which tbe public has no certain in
formation. But why, we may reasonably ask, do the pro
fessors who offer to teach us to remember (on
payment of a reasonable fee) never turn their
attention to what would be an equally useful
object the. art of forgetting? Many people
wonld be glad to pay a large sum' to be
able to forget things at will. To remem
ber the dates of the kings of England-It
Is this sort of things to which
the professors of memory help us is a chaste
and noble pleasure, and the pedigrees in the
Bible, recited by aid ot a memoria technics,
may afford refreshment in the intervals of
business. But what, after all, are these intel
lectual enjoyments compared with the delight
of forgetting .what you do not wish td remem
ber? It is quite true that ordinary f orgotf ul
ness often involves great Inconveniences. But
tbe professors of memory do not greatly hclpns
to get over these. They do not assist us when wo
have forgotten tbe name of a person wbom we
are Introducing or the number of the house at
which we are going to call. They cannot re
mind tie nervous customer of bis own initials,
or bring back to the tipsy wayfarer the recol
lection of his address. Indeed, many of these
things may be managed by the simple expedient
of writing tbem down; and even the humble
assistance of the knotted pocket-bankerchief
may in small matters supersede the lectures of
the professor.
Bow Hard It Is to Forget.
But the art of forgetting Is far more difficult,
and worthier of the attention of science. To
make a list of things to be forgotten, or append
to tbem in your diary a mark to that effect, is
of little moro value than the rival process of
pot putting them down at all. Neither of these
is found to Insure forgetfulness. And thongh
cudgeling tbe memory often has the same ef
fect as cudgeling that serviceable animal So
largely employed by costermongers, and makes
it stop altogether, it cannot be used, in a re
verse process, to make it forget at will. It
would, therefore, be valuable if some ingenious
person conld hit upon an antlmemoria technica
and enable the human mind to get rid, with a
little ordinary care, of its disagreeable recollec
tions. This might well seem impossible, if it were
not for facts constantly occurring in every
one's experience. Far from this art being im
practicable, there appear to bo persons who
have secretly mastered it and are constantly
using it The art of forgetting already exists,
but those who practice it conceal its rales, and
do not allow the public to benefit by them.
Though perhaps we cannot expect them to re
veal the mystery, it is an encouragement to the
investigator to know that such there Is. If
there were not, bow can we acconnt for tho
regularity nnd precision with which some per
sons forget things obviously not agreeable to
tbem? ft is simply unscientific to put this
down to chance; it Is far better to stva them
credit for the skill which they undoubtedly
display.
Anti-Mnemonics Applied to Dills.
Watch one of these artists in contact with
that unostentatious, but yet somehow not
altogether welcome little composition which
occasionally crops up in the letter-box, and is
familiarly called a bill. Everything may seem
to be against bis success, and yet a skilled
practitioner may do wonders even with a rather
memorable bill. Memory depends a good deal.
on vivid impressions; and to see a distasteful
envelope larking amid tbe innocent and pleas
ing objects of tho breakfast table, is a likely
way to gain a vivid impression of the envelope.
Tho apparition is hardly less striking when tbe
enemy enters abruptly on a salver, altera
rather irritable ring of the street bell, or when
It is poked into the band out of doors by an in
sinuating person In shabby clothes. But the
trne artist can overcomo all these ob
stacles. In spite of them all. he can, by
tho marvelous control of memory which be
possesses, succeed in entirely forgetting
that bill. If he is a genius, and has complete
self-confidence, he may even, in spite, of tbe
awful risk of receiving too deep an Impression
from the process, give the envelope and its
contents the personal care and attention of
tearing them up into small bits over tho fire,
and so bestowing upon tbem the final honors
of cremation, and yet come out so triumphantly
successful as to completely forget tho circum
stance. Tradesmen, who may venture to refer
again to this person in regard to their so
highly honored communications, get tbe
authority of his own word for the fact that
every trace of it has been obliterated from bis
memory. This is surely a very Important in
stance in favor of the possibility of an art of
forgetting.
Tho Masterly Skill of Some People.
There are other examples of this practice,
not affecting public business, which are equally
encouraging. Promises and. engagements of a
private nature, which become onerous to
the person who has made them, are
often found to havo been forgotten,
when those who have forgotten them are
persons otherwise of good memory and business-like
habits. Something of the same sort
brings on the fate to which borrowed books are
notoriously liable. Statements, again. Indi
cating a point of view from which the speaker
bas subsequently departed, are fonnd to be
forgotten with unfailing accuracy by the
memory. Science cannot afford to pass over
these things. At tbe bottom of them all Ilea
the unmistakable craality ot masterly skill.
Such persons can never, perhaps, be got to
formulate and publish the methods by which
such training and control of the recording fac
ulties of the mind have been laboriously at
tained. But their results are an adequate
ground for science to advance from, in the
construction of an art of forgetting.
Yonr Trouble.
Tbe value of this is so obvious to tbe least re
flection, 'that it is perhaps scarcely necessary to
enlarge 'upon it Business people, from Job
downward, have been recommended by philo
sophical friends, when complaining of the re
verses which keep their thoughts employed,
and themselves awake on the pillow, to take
courage, and forget their trouble. But Job,
and the succeeding very long family of suf
ferers, have, in the absence of an art of for
gettlug, invariably found this an im
possible task. What a triumph on the
appearance of the worry, . to confront it at
once with the resources ot the art, and utterly
suppress it If this succeeded, sufferers might
go on to further victories. Shakespeare re
marks that no philosopher could ever bear tbo
toothache patiently. Modern science would
improve on philosophy If it could teach us to
foriret toothache. Aided by the professor of
I anti-mnemonics, tbo sufferer might pass the
dismal hours of that disease in mirth and
revelry. All doctors, inuceu, might get ac
customed to find tbelr patients sitting in easy
chairs, convulsed with laughter over works of
wit and humor, with a memorandum jotted
down In readiness for the medical arrival, re
minding the sufferer that be was the victim of
toothache, gout, angina pectoris, and so on
ailments which (for convenience and ease) he
bad decided, to forget until the doctor should
eome.

Captain James Meredith, of Clearwater,
Fla., came near losing his life at DeSotoafew
nights since, under circumstances tbe like of
which has perhaps never been recorded. He
was shot for a jack-'o-lantem. The other night
just after dark, Captain Meredith fixed a bunt
ing lantern on his head and came ashore to
shoot raccoons, alligators, or any such game as
be might find along tne beach. His light was
seen from a nearby house, and was construed
to be something unaccountable, no one being

would be suddenly very brilliant and then as
suddenly gone, the result of Meredith turning
his head in different directions. One of the

hastened along the beach In the direction it
bad been last seen, hoping to be in its neigh
