THE SIAKDABD'S LAST PLAx
The report of the gobbling of the Lima
oil field by the Standard, and its intention
to use that odorous fluid for refining, in yes
terday's Dispatch, evokes a variety of
comment In (Standard circles the state
ments are met by half denials, which are
little less than admissions.
The refining story is all nonsense, we are
told; but the building of a pipe line from
Lima to this section is correct. According
to Standard authority this is to be done for
transporting oil to Kew Torte, to be used
there as fuel. The multiplication of declara
tions that the Standard would never refine
Lima oil would meet with more credit, if it
were accompanied by explanations of the
extraordinary steps which that combination
has taken to prevent anyone elce from re
fining Lima oil. If only loss and failure
were to be attained by that attempt, why did
not the monopoly let its rivals work out
their own extinction by free effort in that
direction.
A more salient criticism of the story is
that it is old news. It is true that the pol
icy which it discloses is that ontlined by
the acts of the Standard for the past two or
three years. Its whole course showed that
it intended to gobble the Ohio field and to
use that as a lever to secure its hold on the
Pennsylvania producers; but the ele
ment of the news was in the indi
cation of the triumph of that policy
afforded by the new and mammoth-pipe-line
project. The substantial truth of the report
is shown by the Standard admissions and by
the corroboration from Lima published to
day. This was the danger which The Dis
patch pointed out in connection with the
shut-down -movement a year ago. The per
tinence of the suggestion was- indicated by
the unanimous barking set up at that time
by the journalistic agents of the monopoly.
APPEOACHTHG A COMBUJE.
The milk dispute has reached a point
, where the dealers express a willingness to
pay the farmers their price, and the ship
pers' agent loftily declares an intention to
ell the milk direct and give the consumers
the benefit of the dealers' profits. This
sounds very much as if the dealers were pre
pared to come down and the shippers were
going to .scorn their advances in
the interest of the dear public; but there
is sounder reason to expect that when the
dealers have made their full surrender they
will be permitted to charge what they please,
so long as they pay what the shippers please.
The declaration of an intention to make
business unprofitable always signifies an in
tention that the public shall pay for it in
the end. In this case the intention will be
defeated by the stimulation ot fresh supplies;
bnt it is interesting to notice how the stereo
typed forms of combination have been re
produced in petto.
AEJ0E SAY Am) HCTSBUEG.
A week from to-morrow has been desig
nated by the Governor of Pennsylvania as
Arbor Day, for the beautification of streets
and homes by setting out plants and trees.
The plan has been so far addressed espec
ially to the schools of the State and in some
towns it has been very successful in pro
ducing a marked addition to the attractive
ness ol public grounds.
In Pittsburg comparatively little has
been done, on account of the circumscribed
surroundings of the schools. Brick court
yards do riot afford first-class facilities for
setting out trees, and the absence of parks
has shut off the other vent for the energies
of the scholars on Arbor Day. But the
purpose of that festival should not be lost
sight of. In the adornment of our streets
by trees there is a work that could keep the
whole population busy on Arbor Day for
several years to come.
During the period of coal smoke the
trouble of keeping trees alive was so great
that the idea of shade trees along the city
streets was pretty well abandoned. In ad
dition to that the confined space and en
croaching pavements of many of our streets
has added to the difficulty. But with the
moke gone it should be possible to find
room for foliage; and the work of supplying
the city with them is about equal in magni
tude and importance. Every tree that can
be made to grow on our streets will ado
Biaterially to their attractiveness, and there
fore to the value of the property in the vi
cinity. If Pittsburg can be made a city
of trees, its beauties will be increased by a
high exponent.
This is a possibility of Arbor Day which
should be recognized here. The city author
ities and the public at large should take it
in hand to encourage work for the orna
mentation of the city.
KB. WILLIAMSONS TITLE,
Some pretty high-strung critics have been
making a great to-do over the tact that the
appraisement of the personal estate of the
late L Y. Williamson, the Philadelphia
philanthropist, shows that he had 'no
clothes nor books worth mentioning.
Though one of these commentators has
striven to show that because Mr. William
son's wealth did not procure for him fine
raiment, therefore the Philadelphian might
just as well have not accumulated ten
millions of dollars or more, and though sev
eral others lament the faet that the ap
praisers did not find any books worth put
ting a price on, in.Mr. Williamson's library,
yet we do not, considering all" the circum
stances, think it necessary to shed tears on
either account.
Mr. Williamson's life was usefully spent
If he did not encourage the tailors, he did
put life and hope into the hearts of number
less widows and orphans. Again if his
tastes were not of the kind that discover
gratification in the formation of a gigantic
library, it is certain that he built a better
monument for himself in schools and hos
pitals. It is not at all certain that it would
be conducive to the world's happiness or
prosperity if all its rich men spent their
millions in sartorial extravagances, and in
the accumulation of books.' The world is
better for the bibliophile tendencies of a
certain percentage of its inhabitants. But
there are many other admirable pursuits,
not essentially demonstrative of culture,
perhaps, but inspired with the infinitely
more valuable breath of Christian charity.
Mr. Williamson without books and with
no store clothes, was of much greater benefit
to his fellowmen than a great many million
aires whose houses have oostly libraries,
and whose valets guard huge stores of fash
ionable garments.
AQUEOUS FEETHITY.
The large proportion of inorganic, but not
wholly innocuous matter which has been
furnished to some parts of the city in the
water pipes, is arousing considerable discus
sion. The public is very apt to jump to the
conclusion that it has paid money enough to
secure clear drinking water; but the officials
of the water bureau are equally prompt to
explain that they are not responsible for the
profitless expenditures of years ago, and
that they are doing the belt that they can
with their present facilities.
There is evidence that clear water can be
famished by an adequate system of settling
and storage reservoirs, in the pertinent fact
that while the rest of the city has been com
plaining of a high degree of alluvial tritur
ation, the sections supplied from the Her
ron Hill reservoir have been enjoying
perfectly transparent water. That it would
cost a good deal of money to build an ade
quate settling reservoir is beyond question,
but it is not beyond question that it would
be worth the money.
Jar the meantime is it certain there is
nothing that can be made to serve the pur
pose? The Dispatch has several times
urged the cleaning out of the Bedford ave
nue basins, and their use as storage reser
voirs when the direct supply was unavail
able. An experiment of that sort would
not be expensive, and might prove to con
tain more desirable qualities than the river
water does at present
QUAY AS A EEF0EMEE.
The plaint in which Senator Matthew
Stanley Quay is reported as indulging, in
an interview yesterday,is calculated to raise
the hope that experience will convert our
junior Senator into a civil service reformer.
That would be a remarkable metamorphosis;
but it is nevertheless the legitimate deduc
tion from the fact that the Senator is dis
gusted and overwhelmed with his experi
ence in the role of spoils distributor.
Senator Quay declares that half of the
horrors of the state of siege from office seek
ers has not been told. He asserts that they
attack the fortress before breakfast and keep
up the assault till the small hours beyond
midnight Many of them are, in the opinion
of the Senator, insane on the subject of get
ting office; and it is calculated to grieve and
injure the ambitious patriots who have been
desirous of serving the country, to learn that
the Senator regards the greater number of
them as "not representative members of the
party, but rather the scum of it" Such
expressions sound so mugwumpish as to war
rant a suspicion that a remarkable revolu
tion is going on in the mind of the recent
commander of the Bepnblican forces.
The premises stated by Senator Quay are
certainly such as to warrant some very
sound conclusions. It is clear that a states
man like the Beaver Senator, who should
be permitted to give his exclusive attention
to great subjects of legislation, and who has
to consider laws, not only for the nation but
for the State, should not be the subject of
persecution from half-crazed office seekers.
It also is plain enough that a system of or
ganized importunity which shoves forward
"the scum ot the party" is not calculated to
produce a good condition of the public ser
vice. Senator Quay is in a fair way to per
ceive the falsity of the theory that Senators
should have an appointing power; and even
to go further and concede the virtues of a
system that shall do away with all this
place-begging by awarding positions on
tests of ascertained fitness and making pro
motions in accordance with the records of
ability, fidelity and industry.
Is the Senator going to become a civil ser
vice reformer? He certainly seems to lay a
pretty good foundation for that sort of opin
ion, by his statement of experience.
CABLE CBAETEES.
The decision of Judge McPherson, in the
case of the Lafayette Traction Company, of
Easton, that charters under the act of 1878
are invalid, furnishes a possible explanation
of the urgency with which legislation for the
cable companies has been asked at tbis
session. The inference that all the com
panies in the State are affected by this
ruling, would certainly warrant the man
agers of all of them, in being very desirons
to have a legal definition of their status.
Of course the question will be taken to the
Supreme Court; and, beyond that, the cable
companies will be diligent in asking for a
law under which they can organize, if Judge
McFherson's decision is sustained. No xne
will dispute that corporations performing
such an unquestioned publio service as the
cable companies do, are entitled to valid
charters; but if legislation has to be enacted
for them, it will afford a splendid oppor
tunity to provide against the abuses of
stock watering and combination to which the
business seems especially prone at present
It is stated that "a blow has been given
to bimetalism" by the demonetization of
silver in the little kingdom of Boumania.
If the silver interests find out that Boumania
has given a blow at them they will be likely
to boycott that small Danubian monarchy.
The pathetic case of General Bigel, ru
ined and disgraced in his position of Pen
sion Agent by the dishonesty of his sub
ordinates, ought to teach the lesson that
putting veteran soldiers in responsible posi
tions is not even a kindness to them, unless
they have the business ability to make
sure that the work is properly and honestly
done. .
The Honse, at least seems to be in a fair
way for doing something in the way of abol
ishing wildcats, loxes and minks. Small
favors are thankfully received.
An example of popular looseness1 in dis
cussing the Inter-State Commerce law is
afforded in an editorial declaration of the
St; Louis Globb-Dcmocrat, that "Judge
Cooley's decision that railroad companies
have no right under the Inter-State Com
merce, law to make, excursion rates, maybe
technically correct out it is certainly not
warranted by the general spirit and purpose
of the act" The allegation would be perti
nent if the Globe-Democrat supplied
the information, first, as to what decision
Judge Cooley has made to that effect; and,
second, how it could be "technically cor
rect" when.the twenty-second section of the
act expressly provides that "nothing in the
act shall prevent the issuance of excur
sion tickets."
One of the unexpected and'eompensatory
benefits ot the New York Centennial 4s in
the recently developed fact that the newly
discovered relatives of Washington are
rather more numerous than the former mul
tiplicity of Ms body servants.
Ait interesting specimen of free trade
logic is furnished by the esteemed Chicago
Herald. It makes the rush oi settlers into
Oklahoma, a foundation for the question:
"If the contention that protected monopo
lies enrich the farmer is true, why is it that
so many people are thismoment getting as
far away from these cormorants as possi
ble?" Our lively cotemporary seems un
able to perceive the recoil of this question,
in the query: If the free trade contentions
be true, that protection is at the expense of
the agricultural interests, why do not the
people who are rushing for new farms, in
Oklahoma,, make a more decided rush into
the industries that are protected by the
tariff?
The variety of deadly instruments which
have been imported as a feature of the settle
ment of Oklahoma, suggests that perhaps it
is the intention to start a new agricultural
industry by planting settlers on disputed
claims.
The learned demonstrations of the naval
building experts in Washington, that not
enough water could possibly have gotten
through the hawse pipes of the wrecked
Trenton to extinguish her fire, because the
hawse pipes were furnished with patent
rubber stoppers, is interesting in view of
the manifest faet that the water did get in.
Some time ago Mr. Dodd, of the Standard
Oil Company, made a beautiful argument
that monopolies could not be created in this
country, because the laws were opposed to
them. The Washington experts seem dis
posed to rival Mr. Dodd, scientifically prov
ing that the things cannot be done; which
have been done.
The reported'new departure of the Stand
ard Oil Company into the refining of Lima
oil.may reveal to the Pennsylvania producers
a possibility of another and more prominent
shut-down movement
The reported construction of a "bicycle
locomotive" is announced as intended to
"create a revolution in railroading." If
the new invention has the capacity of its
prototype for producing- headers, it will
create a great many more revolutions in
railroading than the traveling publio is
anxious to see.
The recently reported disappearance of
Senator Quay warrants an anxious inquiry
whether he was among those Beaver fishermen
upon whom the game laws have recently
laid ruthless hands.
Me. Bbovtx'b resolution for a ship canal
survey trom Lake Erie to1 the Ohio river,
might be productive of a great work, if it
was guaranteed that the Beaver member
would not kick, if it should be found that
the best route was by the Allegheny river
and Lake Chautauqua.

Bnt when a positively ugly middle aged man

it in such a way as to occupy the best part of
two whole seats, and then throws off the bur
den ot moving that basket to allow the egress
of passengers upon the unfortunates sitting
opposite to him in the end seat of the car, he
is such an unmitigated, impudent greedy nuis

shaking and Baby Kissing-.
Washington, April 17. Mrs. Harrison has
shown her pluck and a due regard for her
health most emphatically by announcing that
the custom of handshaking at publio receptions
is, so far as she Is concerned, vetoed. She be
lieves that handshaking had as much to do
with her recent illness as anything else.
Mrs. Cleveland saved herself a great
deal of the physical pain of con
tinuous, handshaking oy reaching out
and grasping the hands before their owners
had a chance to squeeze her slender fingers.
It was this shrewdness on her part that made
each caller think that especial clasp was meant
for him, together with the bright glance which
for the moment he was fool enough to appro
priate. Mrs. Harrison cannot grasp the hand
in this masterful way, because her own hand is
too small.
The good sense of the first lady in the land
Is evident in another particular. She will not
allow any one to kiss the White House babies.
Benjamin, Marthena and Mary are an unkissed
trio, and they have their grandmother to bless
for it Benjamin has been trained. When a
caller rushes to him with a gurgling "I'm doln'
to put a kiss wight on ooritty mouf," Master
Benjamin rushes to the nearest lap and buries
his r,itty mouf." When he thinks the danger
is over he looks around at grandmamma, wno,
quite on the sly, smiles approval at her grand

LOVES OF GREAT MEN,

Bona Writers and Composers-Walter
Scott's First Iove Sobabert's Dream of
Passloa Daudet's Wife. ,
.One Sunday young Walter Scott ofleiedWfl
umbrella to a young lady of much .beauty who
was coining out of church during a Shower.
The umbrella was graciously accepted and
Bcott fell In love with the borrower, who turned
out to be Margaret daughter of Sir John
Belches, His attentions to the lady continued,
for about stx years, when she married a banker,
who proved to be one of Scott's most generous
friends when his time of troubles came. The
story of this, his first and only deep passion, is
recorded in the diary that Scott kept in 1827,
from which it would seem that there may have
been some misunderstanding between the
yonng people.
Probably it was pride which led him to en
gage himself, within a year, 'to Mademoiselle
Charpentler, or Miss Carpenter, as she was
usually called, the daughter of a French Roy
alist who had died early in the revolution. She
made, on the whole, a very good wife, only one
to be protected by Scott from every care, and

et Mrs. Scott was not devoid of spirit and
self-control. For instance, when Jeffrey, hav
Ing reviewed "Marmlon" in the Edinburgh
Hetieu, in that deprecating and omniscient
tone which was then considered the evidence
orcritical acumen, dined with Bcott on the
very day on which the review bad appeared.
Lady, then Mrs. Scott, behaved to him through
the whole evening with the greatest politeness,
but fired this parting shot m her broken Eng
lish as he took his leave: "Well, good nlgbt,
Mr. Jeffrey dey tell me you have abuse Scott
In de Review, and 1 hope Mr. Constable has

The French writer, Alphonse Daudet, had
determined to remain a bachelor, because he
was afraid that if be made a wrong step In
tn2rriage he might dull bis imagination; but
on being introduced to Mademoiselle Julie Al
lard, who loved literature and was a charming
writer and critic herself, his fear was removed.
The nnlon proved a very happy one, and the
picture of the two at work Is an attractive bit
of biography. "She has been," says his brother,
"the light of his hearth, the regulator of his
work and the discreet counselor of his inspira
tion. There is not a page that she has not re
vised, retonched and enlivened; and her hus
band has borne witness to her devotion and In
defatigable collaboration in the dedication of
'Nabob,' but she would not allow this dedica
tion to appear." Once, it Is related, he had a
sentimental and dramatic scene with his wife,
concerning which he remarked: "This seems,
my dear, like a chapter that has slipped out of
a novel," "It is more' likely, Alphonse," was
the reply, "to form a chapter that will slip into
one."
The Countess Caroline, an enthusiastic. girl of
great beauty, Decame the object of Schubert's
romantic passion. His exterior was anything
but that of an ideal lover. Bude, unshapely
features, thick nose, coarse, protruding mouth
and a shambling awkward figure were re
deemed only by eyes of uncommon splendor
and depth. The inexperienced maiden, belong
ing to a haughty family, hardly understood the
devotion of the humbly born genius. Only
once ha was on the verge of a full revelation.
She asked him why he had dedicated nothing
to her. With abrupt, passionate Intensity of
tone Schubert answered: "What's the use of
thatt Everything belongs to yon." This
brink of confession seems to have frightened
him from any further intercourse with the
family, yet he never forgot his beautiful dream
or loved another woman.
Beethoven used to speak in passionate utter
ances pf a certain countess, Glulietta Guic
clardi, calling her his "immortal beloved," "his
angel," "his all," "his life." It was to her that
he dedicated his song "Adelaida," which, as an
expression of lofty passion, is world famous.
The charming countess, however, preferred
rank, wealth and unruffled ease to belnz linked
even with a great genius If, indeed, the affair
ever looked in the direction of marriage. She
married another, and Beethoven doe3 not seem
to have been seriously disturbed. It may be
that, like Goethe, he valued the love of woman
not for Itself or lu direct results, bnt as an art
stimulus wblcb should enrich and fructify bis
own Intellectual life.

H. D. EDSELLE'S SOCKET.
The Latest Flying Machine a Dead Boll-
Invented by Billy Florence.
Front the Chicago ews.J
Our valued friend, Mr. William J. Florence,
the comedian, is a gentleman whose humor is
ofa peculiar kind. He loves a practical joke.
and he enjoys it most when its authorship re
mains a dark, impenetrable mystery. It is ai
rways a pleasure to betray a friend who takes
such delight in selling his fellow mortals, we
take Immense satisfaction, therefore, in expos
ing the practical joke which Mr. Florence has
played with more or less success upon several
communities wjthln the last five years.
.Mr. Florence's scheme has been to advertise
the "ascension of a human rocket," and to at
tract tocethetat a given time at a stated place
an enormous crowd of people anxious to see
the sight of a man who, tied to an enormous
rocket, blazes away from earth to a preposter
ous height and subsequently descends safely br
means of a paraohute. Our ingenious friend
told us all about this hoax when he was last in
Chicago, and he gave a graphic description of
the crowds that waited patiently for the "hu
man rocket" that never came. This was Mr.
Florence's Idea of an ideal joke. While he was
in the Northwest last winter the Minneapolis
Tribune (January 13) printed a long and bar
rowing description of the human rocket, and
gave several woodcuts of the alleged machine
in operation. The description and illustrations
purported to have come directly from the in
ventor of the rocket, Prof. D. Edaelle, at that
time said to be a sojourner in Minneapolis.
Mr. Florence has now reached-Northern New
York, and, of course, his hoax is with him.
Yesterday morning the daily papers all over the
country printed telegrams from Buffalo, giving
information about the remarkable Invention of
a Prof. D. Edselle, which was to be exhibited
at the International Exposition.
Well, of course thousands of credulous peo
ple will believe tblsiyarn and willponr into Buf
falo for the purpose of seeing D. Edelle and
his preposterous machine. And Mr. William
J. Florence will meanwhile laugh, laugh and
grow fat. It seems strange that so few folk
sbouldbave recognized the "dead sell" in that
peculiar name, D. Edselle.

TSxw Yoke, April 17. The loan collection of
portraits, relics and silverware ot Washington
and his time, which will be one of the pleasant-

AIDING TBE NEWSPAPERS.
Trainmen Allowed Hereafter to Carry Spa
clal Correspondence on Any Trala.
Washington-, April 17. The Postofflce Do-.
partment onclals have rescinded an order is
sued during tbe last administration, having for
its object the discouragement of the practice
by trainmen of carrying special newspaper cor
respondence and other matter on other than
mall trains. It is said at the department that
there are a very large number of small towns
throughout the country which have meager
telegraph facilities. In many of these villages
the post and telegraph offices close early, and
to prohibit trainmen from carrying to the
neighboring town or city small packages con
taining, -possibly, information of the highest
general Importance, is regarded as unwise and
unjust.
The newspapers of the country, it is main
tained, should receive every possible facility
for obtaining and disseminating the news of
the day, and to this end trainmen will be en
couraged to lend their aid.
