PITTSBPBQ, SATURDAY. MAR. 30. 1888.
E0BBEEY EXTBAOBDIHABY.
ttc feat of a bank robber, in walking into
the President' office of a Denver bank, and
forcing that dignified official by the persua
sive means of a revolver to sign a check for
$21,000, and order it paid without kicking
up a row, is the latest feature in criminal
sensations.
The success of such bold robbery is calcu
lated to raise doubts whether the laws are
adequate to protect the public. That doubt
is strengthened by contemplating the less
bold but more wholesale swindles committed
by means of bogus mining stocks, as well as
other forms of fictitious .securities, with
which Denver like other cities is not wholly
unfamiliar.
It is certain that the laws cannot protect
people, unless they will do something to
protect themselves. The public who submit
to one kind of robbery are as much to blame
for it as the banker who has not pluck
enough to make a fight against the other
kind, is for the success of that remarkable
feat yesterday.
PAYNE'S POWEBS OP SPEECH.
It will certainly be a great satisfaction to
the public to observe that the affection of the
vocal organs which has kept Senator Payne
silent in the Senate during five years of his
term has been sufficiently healed to permit
him to make a speech. During all this
time, in the presence of the grave charge
that his seat was purchased, Senator Payne
has not had the strength of voice necessary
to enunciate the four words: "I demand
an investigation;" but when Mr. Halstead's
nomination comes up he is able to make a
speech. The matter of the speech is of in
terest He would like to send Mr. Halstead
to Siberia, if he could; but, as be cannot, he
desperately opposes sending him to Berlin.
This is an interesting view of the way in
which perniciously outspoken newspaper
men would be suppressed under the rule of
the powers represented by Senator Payne.
Unpleasant references to monopolies and
bribery would doubtless be made quite in
frequent if the Payne idea of statesmanship
should triumph.
WUL IT BE EHFOECED 1
It is rather surprising to find our brilliant
cotemporary, the New Tork San, in a vig
orous article touching on the enforcement of
the inter-State commerce law, making the
following declaration:
The Grand Trunk Is still setting the bulk of
the east-hound tonnage out of Chicago, but as
It lies entirely beyond oar borders and control,
and is deaf to the inter-State commerce law as
well as to the sentiment of fair play, there Is no
way to reach it, except by an act of Congress,
which will shut all Canadian lines entirely out
of onr inter-State transit trade, just as foreign
ships are sbutnont of our coasting trade.
This is all the more surprising because
the -Sun, a few days earlier, pointed out that
this road is subject to the law on the busi
ness that it does in this country, and called
for its enforcement In the former position
the Sun was exactly right. It is impossi
ble for the Canadian roads to transport Chi
cago freight without agencies and depots in
the United States. The agents are un
doubtedly subject to the penalties for any
violations of the law they may commit; and
it will be much better to enforce it against
them than to close 30 per cent of the railway
outlets from the Northwest
But the law should not be enforced
against the Canadian roads alone. A very
good way of turning over a new leaf and
showing that it is to be enforced against all
violators would "be to commence with those
eminent railway officials of the Northwest
who, under cover of a pretended agreement
to observe the law, have been really viola
ting it by "a private" pooling arrangement
TEE C0EE WOBEEBS' WAGES.
The report that the organization of the
Miners' Progressive Union in the coke
regions has gone to pieces is probably an
cx-parle statement; but it is certain that the
union has tailed of the main purpose for
which it was organized, namely, that of
establishing a union of the rival organiza
tions which had already been working
against each other. The onion is still con
fronted by the K. of L. workers, and the
consequence is that theunited action among
the coke workers, which is the first requisite
to obtain fair wages,seems likely to be lack
ing. The question of wages will be brought
up next week by the expiration of the Prick
scale and the failure of the other works to
establish wages equaLtoit The coke trade
ought to pay the wages fixed by the expiring
scale; but it would not be strange if the
jealousies of the labor organizations were
utilized by the operators to bring about a
reduction. Perhaps this is necessary to
teach the rival organizations that the in
terests of the workingmen and not the
supremacy of any particular organization
should be their primary object
THAT MEAT QUESTION.
Two points on the much-agitated meat
and dressed beef question are new and
cogent The first if presented by the opin
ion, of the Solicitor General of New Mexico,
on the bill excluding meat killed outside of
the State. He says: "I have no hesitation
in saying that such al.wis unconstitutional.
It is a bad exhibition of States rights."
This merely puts in authoritative form what
The Dispatch has frequently urged, that
the idea of a State's accomplishing by in
direction what. It is directly forbidden to do
by the Constitution, is absurd.
The other point is furnished by a Chicago
live stock firm, which attempts to explain
the remarkably low price of cattle by the
fact that-in the last 17 years, the production
of cattle, as measured by the shipments to
market, has Increased fivefold while the pop
ulation of the United States has only in
creased one-half. Thli isall very- well as
regards one aide) of the problem; but it
wholly fails to give an answer to the querr
why when the price of beef on the hoof has
decreased from one-half to two-thirds there
has not been a commensurate decline in the
price of meat One part of thepublio may
object to the low price of cattle; but the
point that the whole public wish explained
is the enlargement of the share of the pro
ceeds, appropriated by those who take the
beef product from the consume? to the pro
ducer. This is a matter which it devolves
equally upon the local butchers and dressed
beet interest to explain. Bo far there has
been no explanation except on the theory of a
combine to keep up prices in both branches
of the meat trade.
THE SENATORS' .EBB0B.
The action of the Senate pa the Halstead
nomination and the influences which forced
the withdrawal or Mr. Schuyler's name are
alike the manifestation of an Idea that has
long been dominant in the executive ses
sions of that body.
That idea is practically expressed by the
Senators to the effect that their personal
grudges and personal interests are the in
terest of the whole country. That was the
basis of the Conkling-Platt fight, and has
been the basis of every Senatorial squabble
over the spoils ever since.
It is getting to be time for the Senators to
understand that they are placed in high
position to act for their whole country and
not to magnify themselves. Whether they
taboo a man tor outspoken language in de
manding the investigation of notorious cor
ruption, or whether they otherwise serve the
interest of the corporations, the need of the
lesson is apparent
The Senators should learn that their own
personality is separate from ,tbo Senate it
self. The lack of this distinctjjnn may gen
crate a public contempt for hat lofty body.
THE OTHEBSIDE.
The approach of the time when the defense
is to present its case to the Parnell Commis
sion reveals the possibility that the drag-net
which the Timet' lawyers cast into the entire
sea of Irish disorders may be turned to the
advantage of the Irish cause as completely
as was the Pigott jSasco.
The main question at issuewas settled in
favor of Mr. Parnell when the evidence pro
duced by the Times itself exposed the forgery
of the letters which were used to backup the
charges of "Parnellism and Crime." As if
conscious of their weakness at this point, the
counsel for the Timet tried to use the com
mission for the creation of public sentiment
against the Irish by a dreary array of agra
rian disorders. After spending some
months in that way, they approached their
case against Mr. Parnell individually, and
it crumbled to pieces at the first touch.
In addition to this disaster by the Tories
it now begins to appear that their astute
counsel did not recognize the retort which
their array of evidence made possible. By
dragging in the whole subject of boycotting,
the "plan of campaign" and moonlighting,
they make it pertinent for Mr. Parnell'a
counsel to reply with showing the provoca
tions that produced these disorders. This
opens up the "whole subject of rack-renting,
evictions, arrests for using the right of free
speech, and convictions on the testimony of
paid informers. By the time that these
points are brought out fully, a large part of
the present year may be consumed, but the
Times' evidence referring to disorders may
be turned into as much of a boomerang as
that which produced Mr. Pigott to expose
his-own forgeries.
Thus the scheme which was intended to
ruin the Irish cause, bids fair to prove of
the greatest use to it, and ruin, instead, the
party in whose interest the Attack was con
cocted. THE LAB0BS OF LICENSE.
Judge White's announcement that he pro
poses to take two or three days' rest before
he proceeds with the hearing of applications
for license ought to surprise no one. The
extent and monotonous similarity of the
applications already heard are enough to
appall any one. Under any circumstances,
the proceedings of the License Court under
the provisions of the Brooks' law must nec
essarily involve a great deal of exacting
labor for the Judge upon the bench. Judge
White has chosen to add considerably to
his judicial task in this instance by making
the investigation of the character of appli
cants very searching and thorough.
There can be no doubt that those who ob
tain licenses this year will be as nearly.
ideal liquor dealers as can be found in this
county, ideal,that is,according to the stand
ard bf Judge White. This result will not
have been obtained without a really gigantic
expenditure of energy and attention on the
part of the Court and the counsel for the
anti-license party. Probably there never
has been a more distressing exhibition of
the lower side of human 'nature in Pitts
burg than the daily inquisition of the Li
cense Court has revealed.
GIVE THEM A CAGE.
At last the New Tork Legislature has
found a task to its 'liking. Naturally the
poor, honest, hardworking legislators of the
Empire State are tired of investigating their
own committees appointed to investigate
jobbery, bribery and malfeasance of every
sort in which the Speaker and many of the
members have been allegedly involved.
Stirring up the mud is not a grateful busi

Somebody in the New York Senate found
out that the Centennial Committee, which
has charge of the approaching celebration
in New York City, contemplated giving the
members of the Legislature a part of a
stand, to which the general public would
be also admitted at two dollars a head. The
legislators, that is, were to see iheprocession
In company with as many of the common
herd as had two dollars to spare. What a
frightful insult to the legislative dignity
this was deemed may be judged from the
fact that a bill was at once passed in the
Senate providing for the'building of a suit
able stand for the Senators, and that the
House has under consideration another bill
to the same effect and will talk of nothing
else.
It is entirely proper to put the New York
Legislature in a cage by itself. Should the
stand disappear during the celebration it

make it plain that both candidates are un

THE TOPICAL TALKER.
Tho Fate of a Cockroach BoraeNotevvorlhy
Pictures After Kntn A Canine Treasure,
In the copy of that light and frolicsome mag
azine, The Forum, which reached this office
this month, between pageTHl 2 was discov
ered the pallid and flattened corpse of a New
York cockroach, There was" a look of recogni
tion upon the poor creature's attenuated face,
as If it bad felt half happy that snch a death
hid overtaken It. Died)n the pursuit of learn
lag as It were; on one side the- last-page of an
article on "The fithlcs'of Art," on' the other
the first page of Judge Tourgee's question,
"Shall Whito Minorities BuleT" A dreadful
place to die. indeed. Bat it is not given to all
readers of The Forum to die at the end of the
second article; out of eleven. Bo the poor cock
roach has something to be thankful for.
If. BLWtAX has a little collection of some
what noteworthy pictures at the Gillespie gal-'
lery. Some of them are merely valuable be
cause of the artists' names they bear, but a few
are really gratifying to the eye. For instance,
there is a little bit ot landscape rtn early sum
mer, with a very commonplace coir near at
hand, and some other cows suggested merely In
the shadow of distant woods, for life. It has
the slumberous atmosphere of a pasturage in
July, all the same, and In a city house would be
as refreshing as a breath from the scented
meadows and cool copses of some restful
valley. ItisbyTroyou,
A benchf ul of chubby German children, im
mersed in a simple game, by Kleehas, shows
fonr or five charming studies of expression
In tots of 5 or 6 years old. Another remarkable
picture Is from the brush of Bcger, also of
Munich an interior dark and rather painfully
devoid ot life in any form, but revealing In the
carved wooden panels of walls and ceiling an
immensely-clever treatment of difficult details
in color and perspective.
The cunningly contrived contrast ot greens
and grays in J. G. Vlbert's picture of two Ted
coated schoolboys for a lunch basket on the
turf in the shadow of the French monastic
school. Is not its only charm. It has some
vigorous drawing In It. Three or four other
pictures repay the visitor. Bntthe little piece
of dabby mist which is valued at a couple of
thousand dollars because Corot forgot to leave
his name off it, and the rather less dismal pic
ture undoubtedly painted by Diaz it was once
in Mrs. Gray Griswold's collection are apt to
pain those who ask for some beauty in a pic-tare.

Wilmington, Del., "March 79. James C.
McComb, the millionaire, has applied for a
divorce from his wife on the grounds of
violating her marriage vows and of
incompatibility of temper. The plaintiff
is the son of the .lata Henry 8.
McComb, the railway magnate, who was the
partner of the late Commodore Vanderbllt in
many railroad transactions. He inherited a
million dollars upon the death of bis father,
since wbicn time he has lived on bis farm, just
above this city, where he laid out a half-mile
track for his fast trotting horses.
McComb is a handsome man about 33 years
of age. Heconld never be Induced to settle
down to business, and was an active fireman,
responding to every alarm. During the reck
less days of his youth be paid court to his pres
ent wife, a daughter of an ex-policeman
named Wlngate. Mrs. McComb had neither
education, wit nor beauty, and is now quite
deaf. His family made every effort to break
off the match. The couple were married about
20 years ago. Three children were born to
them, and until recently their married life, to
all appearances, was perfectly happy.
The McCombs move In the highest social
circles here. One daughter, Nellie, married
young Lawyer Bangs, of New York, and an
other married into an aristocratic Baltimore
family. The McComb girls are on visiting
terms with the Asters and Vanderbllts, and
their faces are occasionally seen at the Patri
arch and other fashionable balls.

WILD OAT AS A WEAPON.
A Boston Man Tarns One Loose to Fight an
Officer.
Special Telegram, to The Dispatch.
Boston, March 29.-a. wildcat, a revolver,
an infuriated man, an attachment for 1360 and
a frightened keeper are the principal figures in
the events leading up ta the total wreckage
of a South End saloon and the flight
of its proprietor. The attachment came
first and was placed upon the saloon for an un
paid liquor bill. The keeper foreclosed to
preserve the attachment, bnt the proprietor, J
H. Buckley, decidedly objected. In fact, be
became so exceeding wroth as to let loose a
wild cat which he kept in a cage in the rear
room for the amusement of customers.
When the cat landed on the bar with a
blood-curdling bowl, the keeper bolted, while
the cat leaped to the shelves around the walls
and for a while made, things exceedingly lively.
Then the revolver took its turn in the.
hands of Mr. Buckley, and after about two
dozen ronnds brought down the cat with a bul
let in its brain. This was Thursday nlgnc
Buckley held the fort alone until this morning,
barring his doors when the keeper appeared
with reinforcements.
Seeing that they were bound to force their
waym, Buckley took an ax and In a few mo
ments had smashed the mirrors and remaining
bottles left by the cat, chopped the bar almost
into kindling wood, and staved in the beads
of the whisky casks. Then he escapedthroogh
a rear window and the keepers took possession
of what was left.

Special Telegram to The Dispatch.
Saratoga, March 29. Some time ago War
ren Morehouse, an Adirondack guide, living at
Upper Gay, bought a lottery ticket, and soon
after the date ot the drawing be received a cir
cular from New York informing him that he
had drawn 310,000, but that be must pay tSOO to
entitle him to receive the prize. With the aid
of Mrs. B, M. Neal, a relative, who mortgaged
her property for the purpose under a'n agree
ment that she would share equally In the $10,000
worth of good luck, the $300 was raised, and
Morehouse, according to previous arrange
ment, met the "agent" of tbe lottery company
in New York.
After having been required to sign several
papers and pay over his 5300. tbe tempting
prize of $10,000 was counted out to him in crisp
new bills, but on being cautioned by the agent
that it would be dangerous' for him to carry
such a large amount of money upon bis person,
Morebonse was induced to have it sent to his
address by express. Tbe tdonev was thereupon
placed in a box, plainly marked and strongly
tied. The '-agent" took a receipt, and went
with Morehouse to the express office. The
happy man thereupon went as fast as railroad
trains could carry him to his home, but when
the express package was opened it contained
only a orick carefully wrapped in paper.

in bis head. In one of his pockets was found
this letter, written in German:
My Dear Wife I forgive all; I have noth
ing to live for. All goes to my boy Karl. The
last Dread you made was very heavy.
Boethig and his wife did not live very happi
ly together, as the letter shows, and on the 19th
instant they quarreled and the husband threw
a flatiron at his wife. He then gave her a $20
gold piece and drove her from his house. Spe

house yesterday afternoon and found Boetbig'a
body in bed propped up with pillows and in his
lap lay a large revolver. Beside the body was
a picture of Boethig and his wife as they ap
peared on theirwedding day. The remnants of

Mr. Childs said yesterday: "Just exactly
when she will come I cannot say, but it will
Erobably be within two weeks. The colts have

A dead sheep is worth so much a pound for
food. A dead horse has hoofs for glne and
hide for tanning. A dead cat has intestines,
which, being dried and put in place, and swept
by the bow of experience, give forth sweet
songs, melodious and harmonious. But a dead
man, what is he? He is simply tbe remains,
the refuse, to be gotten rid of, as soon as de
cency will permit and custom ordains.
Tbe Price of Ice.
From tbe Boston Eerald.l
The Maine Ice harvest is hardly up to tbe
average, but, with the old ice left over from
last year, there doesn't appear to be any occa
sion for apprehension of an ice famine this
summer. All the same, we bear that the ice
dealers propose to advance their prices con
siderably beyond those of last year. It is a
pretty cold summer when the ice dealers get

Original Bidder Not Cat Oat.
When tbe L. M. Bates Drygoods Company
failed, seVeral months ago, a receiver was ap
pointed to wind up tbe business and sell the
stock on hand. Bj direction of the Supreme
Court, sealed tenders were advertised for the
suck in a lump. B. H.White & Co.. ot Boston,
and James A. Heam & Son, of this city, sent in
bids in compliance with the terms ot the ad
vertisement, but tbe time bad expired when the
bid of Jordan, Marsh & Co., of Boston, which
was $13,000 over that of Hearn & Son, the
higher of the two previous bidden, was re
ceived. The receiver, nevertheless, accepted
It, subject to confirmation of the Supreme
Court. Tbe Court has decided that Hearn A
Son were the legal purchasers at the amount
of tnelr original bid, so they take the cake.
Young Clothesline Thleres Captured
Persons living on the east side ot Central
Park, about half-way between Yorkvllle and
Harlem, bave been losing tbe clothes which
wera hung on their roofs to dry every Monday
for several months past. Detectives searched
for the thieves in vain for many weary weeks,
but at last they arrested one who "peached"
on the rest, and in that way three more were
secured. The clothesline plunderers proved to
be boys of 10 and 11 years old, who live In the
neighborhood. The things they stole tbey
pawned, and then destroyed the tickets. Tho
detectives have received some of the stolen
linen. The boys are locked up, pending exam
ination. A Fat Freak Fined for n Spree.
FJl en Gerrard, a 400-pound fat freak, who has
been on exhibition as different museums bere

One Way of Exciting Prejudice.
Lawyer Ambrose H. Purdy, counsel for

an alleged reproduction of tbe murder In wax,
with a dummy representing Krnlisch wielding
the ax. Mr. Purdy said he thought this was
calculated to create a public' prejudice against
his client. The Superintendent sent his letter
to Mr. Doris. It had not arrived in tbe even

THAT CENTENNIAL QUADRILLE.
Sirs. Angel), orFoxbury, P.. Should be In
vited to Participate.
NEW Yobk, March 29. A lady living at Fox
bury, Pa., is probably better entitled to a place
in tbe opening quadrille at the Washington
Centennial ball than any lady yet named. If the
committee really desires to assign these places
with reference to the dancer's ancestors.
The lady is Mrs. Edmund A. Angell,
tho wife of a clergyman at Foxburv, and tbe is
the great granddaughter of Mary Ball, who not
only opened the Inauguration ball, dancing
with Washingtonacentury ago, butwas General
Washington's cousin also. Mr. Angell, writing
to a New York friend, thus outlines the genea
logical situation.
General Washington's mother was Mary Ball
and sbe married Augustln Washington In March.
1730. Her brother was Colonel Joseph Ball, and
bis daughter Mary, named after Washington's
lngton, at the inauguration ball in New York In
1789. Four years later Mary Ball married Colonel
Alexander Dalrymple Orr, then a member of
Congress from Kentuckv. Tbey had six children.
Tbe eldest or thorn, Mary Ball Orr, married John
Calhoun Andrews In 1819, and John, the
eldest son of tbls marriage, married In 1843. He
left two daughters and one son who are still Ut
lng. My wife. Eliza, Is the eldest child. Tbe
matter, therefore, stands thns: Eliza Angell Is
the eldest daughter of the eldest son of the eldest
daughter or Mary Ball, who opened the ball with
the Father or His Country 10O years ago. These
statements are to be found substantially as I make
them In Dr. BIchard Henry Collin's History of
Kentucky."
Startled the Old Man.
From the Philadelphia Record.:
An Oxford young man called on his sweet
heart tbe other evening, and then tied bis
horse to a post on which the dinner bell bung,
and shortly before daylight the pair were
startled by the tolling of the bell, tbe Impatient
steed having nibbled at tbe rope. Tbe future
father-in-law, imagining the barn on fire,
started down stairs three steps at a time, when
the youth jumped to his team and cut away,
leaving explanations for bis ladylove.
