THE VETOED ME VSDKE.
Mayor Gourley sent three well con
sidered and forcible vetoes to Councils yes
terday. Two dealt with the ordinance
prantinj large and valuable franchises in
the already crowded streets of the city.
The other was based on the plain business
proposition that when Municipal Hall can
be lighted with jjas for nothing the city
ousht not to pay 310,000 per year to have
it lifihted by electricity.
The Mayor's argument on the street
railway ordinances is so detailed and con
clusive that it should be read by every
cit:zen. One ordinance gives up a street
alr-ady notoriously insufficient for its
traffic without the slichtest excuse for it
in ueceasit. The other establishes a loop
running through the, business part of the
city in such a way as to multiply the con
fusion and danger existing at the present
crossing. If there was any attempt to
improve the situation by bringing all the
linrs around a single loop, equally open
to the ue of nil, with any approximation
to c mpeiifatioii for the privileges granted,
tin- measur would have some claim upon
pi'lilic toleration. But as it is the climax
of the lo"s"iicss, confusion and favoritism
which Iiavr presided over the entire busi
ness of granting traction privileges, the
Mayor will receive public approval for
using hs official power to call a halt
The vetr.es 01 such measure1, based on
grounds of jnbiic policy, and having in
view only the rublic good, deserved a
more respectful treatment in Select branch
thin the stereotyped one of parsing
them over the veto. When Common
Cu-c;! meets in special session on Thurs
day til" railway vetoes will doubtless be
oierri Wen there, in spile of the claims of
the opponents of the ordinances that they
crn muster a force sufficient to sustain the
M.ijor. This is the usual fate of all
measures in the interest of the masses.
Sn long as the people are satisfie 1 to elect
Councils of the character which insists on
preferring the interests of corporations to
the publ'c welfare, it will have to he ac
cep'edasthe natural result of our politi
cal system.
Til T. CLEVELAND KEMONSTR ATION.
The anti-snap convention at Syracuse
yesterday was principally significant in
Its energetic elevation of the Cleveland
banner and its opposition to the Hill
methods. Of course its platform con
ta ns a full supply of denuncia
tions of Republican extravagance and
tariff legislation; but even in it the
most incisive features are the praise
of Cleveland and the declaration that he
must be the Democratic standard-bearer
in Xcw "Fork.
All of which is very interesting as de
veloping the vigor and enthusiasm of the
Cleveland wing of the Xew York Democ
racy. But there is still plenty of room for
cogitation as to its effect on the ultimate
result A Cleveland delegation from New
York may in view of the preponderance
of the Cleveland sentiment in the Chicago
convention gain the contest as to its ad
mission. The chances of Cleveland's nom
ination are well-nigh beyond doubt But
will the sending of an opposition delega
tion and a contest at Chicago harmonize
the Hill and Tammany interests with the
nomination? If Cleveland is nominated
after a fight which leads to rival conven
tions, must not his supporters make up
their minds either to secure his election
without New York or to suffer another
defeat
We do not think the fight of which this
convention is the exponent puts Cleve
land's chances in a light that Is at all rose
ate. If it has any result it will be rather
to reverse the result of 1884.
THE SIMPLER WAT.
Representative Bryan's bill for the sus
pension of duties in cases where the. pro
tected industry is under the control of a
combination or trust, embodies a principle
which sincere protectionists and revenue
reformers can alike agree upon. Bat the
methods which the bill prescribes for put
ting the provision into effect are cum
brous and inefficient
Mr. Bryan's bill provides that when a
Circuit Court of the United States shall
find, in a case under the act against trusts,
that there is a trust or combination con
trary to the act in an article on which a
duty is laid, the finding shall be trans
mitted to the President, and the President
shall issue his proclamation, fixing the
date, not exceeding 30 days from the re
ceipt of the finding of the court, after
which such article shall be admitted free
of duty. The delay that would be pos
sible in the working of this machinery is
illustrated by the fact that two years after
the passage of the act no Circuit Court
has yet reached a finding, which is the
first step in this process. The means
which a powerful combination like the
Sugar Trust might command for delaying
or shelving the transit or creating other
excuses to prevent the proclamation might
prove serious.
A more direct and simpler method is to
make it a valid defense against the pay
ment of duties if the importer can show
that at the time the articles are imported
similar articles of domestic production are
monopolized by a combination. This
would leave the work of finding and pro
ducing the proof with those whose inter
tst it would be to doit; and the repeal
would tae effect at once upon the finding
of the fact by the jury. So long as com
binations continue to defeat the purpose
of protection, the fact would bring the
penalty; when they ceased that attack the
defense against the payment of duties
m
would no longer be valid. This would put
the principle of the bill in its most direct
form, namely, that, apart from the gen
eral issue between protection and free
trade, illegal combinations are not en
titled to the benefits of the protective
system. ,
WELL QUALIFIED CANDIDATES.
Local politics were enlivened yesterday
by the sessions of the various district con
ventions; but except as the absence of
contest expresses the eminent fitness of
the gentlemen holding the important posi
tions for which nominations were made,
the proceedings were very quiet It was
a foregone conclusion that Mr. Dalzell and
Colonel Stone would be renominated for
Congress and that Judge Stowe would be
nominated for another term as President
Judge of Common Pleas No. 1. The
policy of renominating incumbents was
also followed fn the majority of cases for
positions of lesser importance.
This policy is a good one where the in
cumbent has worthily discharged his pub
lic duties. This Is especially the case with
regard to the leading nominations. Mr.
Dalzell has for the first time in many
years given Pittsburg that representation
in Congress which the magnitude of its in
terests and its prominence as a Republic
an stronghold require. Fully equipped
to present her cause in every form, alive
to her material interests, and prompt in
the advocacy of whatever will advance her
growth, Mr. Dalzell has been an ideal
representative; and Pittsburg will serve
herself best by keeping him in his place so
long as he shall desire. The same credit
for able representation and activity In
the interest of his district is to be allotted
to Colonel Stone, and the recognition of his
services is clearly made in the entire dis
appearance of the opposition that accom
panied his first nomination. Judge
Stowe's eminent judicial abilities and his
undisputed standing on the bench make
his continuance in his place a foregone
conclusion, except for the question
whether Allegheny county should not
urge him for a higher place.
It is rare that Allegheny county con
ventions have so easy a task before them
or present candidates whose qualifications
are so universally admitted. With regard
to some of the Senatorial and Legislative
candidates criticism might find something
to say; but a day's work that gives us
Dalzell, Stone and Stowc for Congressional
and Judicial candidates is so satisfactory
that minor slips may be overlooked.
A PANIC IN A PAKAD15E.
Again Honolulu is in a state of keen
political excitement. Twenty-five men
have been arrested on a charge of con
spiring to dethrone Queen Liliukolani in
order to establish a republican govern
ment. Of course, our sympathy should be
with the prisoners, since monarchies are
entirely wrong in the abstract and repub
lics are no less right But unfortunately
the men arrested, or their leaders at
least, have a reputation for such
methods and motives as does little to guar
antee that any change made under their
control would be an improvement How
ever, it is difficult to treat seriously any
political levolution in an island with only
a few thousand inhabitants and in such
romantic surroundings as those to be found
in the operatic scenery of this beauty snot
of nature. The allied conspirators will
probably be dealt with In a fitting manner,
and so long as American citizens are un
molested we shall do wisely to let well
alone.
MORE DISCRIMINATION NEEDED.
Food for reflection Is found in the
decided partiality with which appropria
tions for improved waterways are dis
tributed. A decided illustration is pre
sented by the comparison of the $25,000
item for the survey of the ship canal from
New York to Philadelphia with the 510,000
assigned to the survey for the Ohio River
and Like Erie canal. The same quality
is reflected in the large appropriation for
the 20-foot lake channel without any
preliminary survey whatever.
TnE DisrATCH has always recognized
that the comprehensive scheme of inter
nal improvements must take in the needs
and capabilities of all practicable routes.
But the different projects should receive
notice in the order of their importance
and necessity. No one can for a moment
suppose that it takes two and a half times
as much to survey a canal across New
Jersey as to survey the routes from
the Ohio to the lake. Nor can
there be any idea that there is half
so much need to give additional
facilities where ocean and lake transpor
tation already exist to create a new route
from the industrial regions of Western
Pennsylvania to the lakes. When West
ern Pennsylvania is asking for a 16-foot
water route it is rank favoritism to lavish
20-foot channels on interests that already
have the lakes and ocean at command.
The unevenness of the thing shows the
need of energetic work on behalf of
Pittsburg. That effort should raise the
subject beyond a competition at impor
tunity by insisting that all waterway
projects shall be taken up and carried out
on the policy of taking first those for
which there is the greatest need.
TVKLCOME, JCNEI
May has left us, and her sister Jnne fol
lows on her footsteps. Smiling May has
of late years achieved a reputation for
fickleness that is well borne out by her be
havior on this last visit But the damsel
is as strong willed as she is coquettish,
and a scolding will do little to improve her
manners on her next appearance. After
all, though, she is wonderfully fascinating,
and with all her faults we love her still.
Her smiles are the more appreciated from
the charming contrast they make to her
tears, and her chilly coyness is forgiven for
the delightful moments of her affectionate
warmth.
And now comes June, the lady with a
warm complexion and a hot temper, but
with spells of tranquility that express the
depth of her emotional character. Will
she be kind on this visit, and allow stormy
tears and accents loud of thunder to over
come her only when necessary to clear
away any apparent misunderstanding?
Time alone can tell, for we are helpless
alike to chide or condole these maidens of

boasts that its inhabitants were the only
law abiders in' Ireland. Now that Home

same gentlemen are indulgingin threats that
they will defy the law If their wishes, which
are those of the minority, be overruled.
This sort of behavior makes it evident that
affairs have hitherto been managed in a very
one-sided way in Ireland. It is easy enough
to obey constituted authority when the
latter does nothing contrary to one's w isb.es.
A sewing society for yonng men has
been started" in Paris." It is supposed it is

Common Couneil still has a chance to
override the Mayor's veto and kill a few pe

ence many more, on Market street. Let us
hope, however, that for once the rights of
the waylaring public will be recognized
now that attention has been drawn to the
matter in no doubttul way.
Those Indiana people driven from their
homes by a delude are in a fit condition to
appreciate Harrison's feelings.
It has been decided that the plumbing at
the Capitol is in very bad condition, but that
the collection ot sower gas is prevented by
the excellence or the ventilation. There is,
however, a gas of another kind whose pres

spicuous than It is uncontrollable..

GAS MAGNATES GIVE WAT.
They Compromise With Cleveland and the
City Beaps an Annual Income.
-Clxvelasd, O., May 3L Special. The gas
light which has been waging in this city
almost a year ended to-day in a compromise
by which the.clty gains most valuable con
cessions. Last June the Council attacked
the gas companies by passing an ordinance
reducing the price of gas from $1 to 60 cents
per L, KO, cubic feet. The regulation of price
by the Council is allowable under the
companies' charters, but the ordinance was
contested on the ground that so gi eat a re
duction amounted to virtual confiscation of
property.
For six months the case has been in the
Federal courts, and during the past four a
hearing has been in progress under Clerk
Belford ns reforee. Only the companies'
side had been heaid, but enough was devel
oped to show that the city had a fair case,
though it was doubtful if it could prove so
great a cut Just. For some time the com
panies have been anxious to compromise.
An agroement was reached to-day and up
proved Dy Council to-night by which tho
price of gas is fixed at 80 cents. 6f per cent
of which goes to the city. The company
also agrees to settle the city gas bills stand
ing since tho passage of the 60-cent ordi
nance for 80 cents, and to pay all the costs of
litigation. Under this agreement gas nets
the comptny only 74.8 cents per thousand
and tho city will receive about $50,000 a year.

SHERMAN ON SILVER.
He Considers It a Local and Not a National
or Pnrtlsan Measure-Ills Speech in the
Senate Attentively Listened to Yester
day Important Mining Law Decision.
Washington, May 31. Mr. Sherman's
speech in opposition to the bill for tho free
coinagoof goldnnd stiver was the feature
in the Senate to-dav. Tho first two hours of
tho session wore uiven.as usual, to the morn
ing business and to tho consideration of
bills on the calendar ofwhlchabout 30 were
passed, few of them, however, of any pub
lic importance. During this two hours' ses
sion the usual ilstlessness prevailed in the
Senate, the average number of Senators
being not more than 25. But that Ilstless
ness disappeared and the Senate chamber
filled np as Mr. Sherman proceeded with his
speech. All around him on the Bepublican
side ot the chamber his colleagues settled
themselves in their chairs and faced him
with an air of marked attention. It was tho
same on the Dmocratic side. During the
two and a hair hours that Mr. Sherman spoke
buttew Senators left the chamber. Fully 70
of them remained in their seats nearly all
the time, paving close attention to the argu
ment. Mr. Sherman's manner was forcible,
his voice clear and strong, and he spoke like
one who felt deeply the impormnce of
carrying conviction to his hearers. Al
though he was interrupted on several oc
casions he did not allow himself to be di
verted fiom the course which he had
marked out lor himself.
rive -States Interested in It.
Mr. Sherman prefaced his speech on the
silver bill by saying that he did not regard
it as a partisan measure of as a political
measure on which parties were likely to di
vide. It was largelv a local measure. There
was no question to be compared with it in
the importance of its effect on the business
interests of the country. Five States were
largely interested in the production of sil
ver, and were ably and zoalously repre
sented in the Senate. The South seemed also
lolmvecau?lit somothingof the spirit that
actuated the mining States because it de
sired not exactly free coinage of silver, but
expansion of currency, cheaper money, a
broader credit. It wns also represented
largely in the Senate in favor or tho free
coinage of silver, and so in other parts of
the conntry. He repiesenting n State
nearly central in population had tested the
sense of the people ot Ohio, and he believed
they were by n lnrgo majority, not only in
tho Republican partv, but in thoDemociatlc
party, opposed to tho fieo coinazo of silver.
They believed that it would degrade the
bodv of tie currency, l educe its purchasing
pow'er one-third, destrov the bl-metallic
svstom oi the country, and reduce the coun
try to the sinslo monotaiy stnndard of sil
ver measured at tho late of 371 xrains to the
dollar. He went on to dofend tho financial
action of the Republican party and his own
part in it.
As to tho National Banks.
In a passing allusion to tho national bank
ing system, Mr. Sherman iaid that those
banks would soon pass away not because
they were not the best banks in the world,
but because tho United States bonds on
which they tested would be paid off. No
man had ever lost a slnglo dollar on the
notes of a failed national bank: depositors
had lost something here and there, but very
little. The system, thoiofore, had fully
Justified itseir. Coming to the dropping of
the sliver dollar from the coinage in 1373, ana
the substitution ot the trade dollar for it, he
said that it wus done on the representations
and petition of the Legislature of California
the people of that and tho other silver
mining States wanting to transport their
ilver to China. The total amount of silver
dollars coined, from the foundation of the
Government up to 1873. had baen only a little
over eight million dollars; and at that time
the silver dollar was obsolete, dead and
hurled. No one wanted it. It was therefore
unfair and unmanly to arraign the gentle
man who had charge or the bill which bad
demonetized silver. Tho only trouble about
that law Mas tiiat Senatois weio not as wiso
a tho Almfghtv, and could not see ahead.
If it had been known that silver was going
to fall asiapidly nslt did, he would have
kept the silver dollar and put it on the same
footing as the fractional silver. Tho suspen
sion ol silver coinage by the Latin Union had
given another blow to sliver, and the in
creased production of silver had given it
another blow. It was not true that he was
unfriendly to silver.
The Bill Dltterly Denounced.
Mr. Sherman then went on to denounce
the bill under consideration as wrong in
principle, wrong in detail, wrong in every
asrect, a fraud on the creditor, a deception
to the debtor-and a demonetization of gold.
The very thieat of the liee coluage of sliver
he said was doing more than anything else
to disturb the Dusuiess interests ot tne cnun
tiy. At this point in his speech Mr. Sher
man yielded to a motion to adjourn.
The postofflce appropriation bill en
grossed attention the ontire day in the
House. Little prozress was made, how
ever, In its consideration: and but half a
dozen paragraph were disponed of. On mo
tion of Mr. llendeison, or North Carolina,
a resolution was adopted revoking all leaves
of absence evcopt those granted on account
of sickness, and directing the Sergeant at
Arms to telegraph absent members that
their attendance Is necessary for the trans
action of business.
An Important Mining Law Decision.
Secretary Noble to-day rendered an im
portant decision in the case of Hyde and
others against vtarien ana others, Involv
ing the validity of a location of lot 1 and the
Northeast quaiter of the southwest granted
township 63 north, range 11, west in the
Duluth land district, Minnesota, made by
James H. Warren, with Chippewa half
bieed sciip, under the seventh clause of
article two of tho treaty of September 30,
1854. Secretary Noble holds that the scrip
is not astgnablo and anv location made or
attempted to be made by an alleged pur
chaser is invalid and cannot be sustained.
Ho also holds that tho scrip location is tho
subject ot content under tho act of Congress
approved May 14, 1S80, that the contest
affidavit of one Kmll Hartinan was sufficient
in lorm and substance, and having been
first duly filled must be held to take pre
cedence over allaither applications to con
test. This decision overrules the Commis
sioner, who is directed to older a hearing to
determine the truth of the nllesrations of
Hartman's contest affidavit. The land In
volved is said to contain very valuable
mineral deposits.
Brigadier General D. S. Stanley, com
manding tho Department of Texas, will bo

reason on the 24th proximo. The successor
of General Stanley will be either Colonel W.
R. fchafter. First Infantry; Colonel E. A.

An attorney of San Francisco was at the
State Department to-day and had a con

action in the matter, with a view to provid

At least eight European governments
have accepted the President's invitation to
participate in a monetary confeience, and
there is no longer any doubt of such a meet

Congress on the subject in a few days, and
will probably tiansmit the correspondence.

forth that the immigration records show
that'in 1891 203,000 people came to this coun
try lrom Austria, Russia and Italy, but a
small proportion of which can either read,
write or speak the English language, and
are wholly ignorant of our laws and the
principles of our Government, and that the
great majority of them remain In our large
cities, forming colonies, where thev live by
themselves, speak their own language, and
follow their own customs apart from tne
life and influence ot the American com
munity. Second That a practice seems to have
arisen on the part of persons anxious to se
cure votes at our elections to procure the
naturalization of great numbers of these recently-arrived
immigrants, and that there
seems reason to believe that immediately
prior to the last election in New York State
this practice was in New York City accom
panied by gicat irregularities and extensive
frauds the public journals of the city re
porting that in a single court of this city
during the flrstIO days of October, 1891. there
were 6,871 naturalizations, of which 5,850
wore by a single Jndze; that the court re
ferred to sat but five hours a day, and these
new citizens were manufactured at the rate
ofaboutonea minute; that a single Judge
in three days naturalized 1,683 allon", or at
the rate of about two a minute for the en
tire session of the court.
Third That It is obvious that the system
of naturalization which can produce its re
sults with such startling rapidity must be
defective, either in its provisions for ascer
taining the facts upon which the right to
citizenship depends, or in tho execution of
those provisions, and that there is reason to
believe that the results were in lact made
possible by wholesale perjury, false persona
tion and official indifference, if not official
malfeasance.
Fourth That unless some remedial meas
ures are adopted to check these evil prac
tices, we may apprehend not merely the ad
dition of a most undesirable element to our
community through loose immigration laws,
but the degradation of American citizenship
through processes which treat citizenship
as of no value, as woll as the surrender of a
material part of our power of self-government
to men who are really aliens, ignorant,
venal and wholly unfit either to govern
themselves or govern us.
In conclusion, they ask for the appoint
ment of the committee.
OHIO IN THE BLAINE COLUMIf.
Great Change of Sentiment of Late In the
Backeye State.
Columbus, O.. May 31. SoeciaL The de
nouements and change of sentiment in v. aio
in the past four days show that the State of
Grant, Hayes and Garfield is going to vote
for Blaine at Minneapolis. The Federal
functionaries, the constant work and watch
ing of tho Sherman phalanx and the great
name and patronage of Governor McKinley
are all powerless to stem the overwhelming
tide that has arisen tor the Plumed Knight.
When the Republican 46 delegates were
chosen they were elected on the basis ot
Sherman and Foraker men, standing 26 of
the former and 18 of the latter. All of the
Foraker delegates were for Blaine from the
start.
Since the universal upheaval over the
country for Blaine, the feeling has extended
to Ohio, and to-day over half of the dele
gates elected as Sherman men are out
spoken for Blaine. A State officer to-night,
a Republican leader who has twice carried
Ohio, said that if the ballot at Minneapolis
came down between Blaine and Harrison,
the former would set, as matters now stand,
28 out or tho 46 Ohio delegates, and most
piobably the solid delegation.
Among the Farmers' Alliance men the
magic name of Blaine has opened up new
visions of prosperity in the great plan of
reciprocity. The old soldiers too have
caught the fire and among the young Re
publicans no other name than Blaine's is,
heard. There has been a mightv effort all
over Ohio by the administration officehold
ers to silence the Blaine move and hold
down the delegatos, but they don't cower or
back down worth a cent. Letters of Inquiry
addressed' To editors or 149 Republican Ohio
papers have been received lrom 115 as fol
lows: For Blaine, 85: Harrison, 26: nominee,
4. Were the conventions to select delegates
to Minneapolis to be held this week every
one would Instruct for Blaine, sueh Is the
advancing tide to the great Secretary.
