Summer Plans of the Nation al
Fish Commission.

r
WASHINGTON. May 6.-To an Asso-
ciated Press reporter to-day Col. Nc
Donald, the fish commissioner, set forth
in detail the plans proposed for him for
the summer. At the request of the
Ohio fish commission the United States
commission this spring added to it's reg
ular programme the distribution of
eggs and fry collected and Matched at
Sandusky. About SO,OOO,OOO eggs were
secured and these are now being
planted in the waters of the Illinois,
Ohio, and Western Pennsylvania. The
trip of the distributing car to Illinois is
reported TO have been one of the most
successful ever made. There are now
being taken at the Fort Washington
station, ten miles down the
Potomac river, about 2O,OOO,OOO shad.
During the summer. the cars will
be engaged in the collection and plant
ing of indigenous fishes in the Missis-
sippi valley in the states of Nebraska,
Kansas, Illinois. Ohio, Indiana, Mis-
souri, and Michigan. The several
steamers attached to the commission
have their summers work laid out for
them, and it is of great Importance. The
AlabatrOss will leave San Francisco
about June 1, going as far as the Priv
ilow islands in Behring's sea, where
a study will be made of the seal
fisheries, in accordance with resoIu-
ton of congress adopted last session, as
we'll as of the general fisheries along
the Southern Alaska peninsula. On the
way up. the Albatross will leave party
of Investigators in Alaska, who will ex-
anime into the salmon fisheries there
under the terms of another congress
sional resolution. The new hatcheries
are to be located at Put-in-Bay island,
Lake Erie, which will be the largest
fish hatchery in the world, having ca
pacity of 500, 10000 900 eggs year.

THE PIONEER JURIsT.

Among the many interesting occur
rences of yesterday in connection with
the ceremonies in celebration OF the
opening of the new court house, the
most notable incident was the presence
of Gen. SHELLEY and his remarks to the
bar association.
1t was notable because Gen. SIBLEY
is the Oldest and most illustrlous OF the
few surviving pioneers.
But it was especially notable because
Gen. SIBLEY was the first person to
hold judicial office west of the MisSls-
sippi river.
At the time of his appointment to a
judicial station his jurisdiction extended
from Prairie du Chen to the British
line, EN- bracing territory as large as
the French empire. His judicial Office
also invested him with the power OF a
monarch, for his word was law, and
there was no appeal from his decisions.
He had no written code for his guide,
but in his judicial administration de
pended alone on his natural sense OF
what was right between man and man,
and upon a judicial disposition inner
tied from his father, Hon. SOLOMON
SHIRLEY, chief justice Of the supreme
court of the territory of Michigan.
Gen. SIBLEY was likewise the first
foreman of the first grand jury ever I'M
paneled west of the Mississippi.
Wonderful man! And what wonder
full events have been crowded into the
space of his lifetime.

under the immediate supervision of
Henry Ganett, the chief of the di-
vision of geography. He has about 1875
men in the Office at Washington to
whom he assigns yearly the locality in
which their field work is to be prosecut-
ed. The maps prepared as a result of
these surveys are made on the scale of
one inch to the mile in the northeastern
section of the country; on the scale of
one inch to two miles in the southern
portions of the country and the Missis-
sippi valley, and an inch to four
miles in the thinly settled re-
gions of the west. Counter lines
indicating equal attitudes are
shown, thus making it comparatively
easy to detect the undulating character
of the country from the mountains to
the sea. This work of the geological
survey has been carried on during

about 100000 square miles of the cOun-

region of about 10000 miles in the
extreme northwestern section of the
country, which was surveyed by the
Northern Pacific railroad company, and
which is accepted by the government as
a satisfactory survey. Thus there is

WASHINGTON, May 6.-There is
thick streak of harmony one hundred
and fifty feet long and about forty-fiye
feet in diameter between the White
house and the department of state.
This harmony is generated wholly by
the man who wears George Washing
toms seat and his grandpa's cOronet.
Honor bright, Ben Harrison is not
small man intellectually. but he is not
big man. He has more than ordinary
ability. He could not have lifted him
self to eminence and power by the
straps of his boots, the boots Of Tippe-
canoe. Yet, after all, he is small
man. always admired him when he
was IN the senate, and would respect
him now if he would permit it; but ne
won't. He is Jealous and fearful Of
Blaine, and he is small enough to show
that feeling to the very teeth of the
great man from the Pine Tree state.
That is a small trait in a president.
James G. Blaine is made to feel, more
and more. that he is merely an executive
clerk to Harrison, just as Pruden and
the other fellows of the clerical force at
the White house are Harrison is MAX
ing Blaine candidate in 1892, in spite
of Blaine's earnest and honest desire to
let all ambitions of that kind bury
themselves with the dead past.

frmation. Last week resignation was
called for in Kansas. Tue Democratic
official was personal friend of Sena-
tor Plumb's, and he will not need to
resign. There is not any need of howl
ing down Windom-not yet. He will
make greater mistakes, probably, later
on, and then will be the time to pound
him. No man can be secretary of the
treasury four years without making
mistakes,

LOTTERY INVESTMENTS.

By some recent computations it is
found that Chicago people yearly sink
s1,5OO,OOO il lottery schemes, the bulk
of it going to that octopus in Louisiana
operated under state auspices. The
laws in Illinois prohibit the sale of
tickets, as in most other states, but are
constantly violated. A tax of So head
for the support of the sleek bene-
ticiaries in the distant state would not
be paid very cheerfully in any locality,
but there is hardly city or town in the
North that is not large contributor to
this purpose. Thousands of dollars go
from St. Paul every month. Men of
small means set apart a fixed sum each
month for the lottery sharks, probably
more than they pay the preacher. At
tempts to prohibit the use of the mails
in the matter meet little success, as
they are easily evaded, and in fact most
of the money is sent by express. There
seems no way to effectually cure people
of this folly, except by costly expert
epce.

Coup's Equescurriculum.

At the jackson street rink last even
ing w. c. Coup gave the first perform
ance of his celebrated equescurriculum
to a crowded house. No one can real
ize without seeing this marvellous en-
tertainment to what a nicely horses and
dogs can be trained. After the funny
shadowgraphs the horses go through a
school performance in the most realistic
manner. The names of cOlOrS are
called from the audience and the horses
pick them out. while one of them does
the same with numbers. The battle
scene is thrilling in it's intensity; the
horses fight regular battle, firing can
non and answering the word of COM
imand by their actions. When the audi
ence applaud they bow nicely. Another
marvellous horse is known as Gen. Sher-
man, who walks, trOts, gallOps, waltZeS
and polkas at the word of command.
The trained dogs are quite equal to the
horses, going through regular military
drill. During this one of the animals
steals collar, is arrested, tried, con-
victed and sentenced to death. The
other dogs erect scafford without as
Sistance, and not only hang the delin-
quent, but place him in a wagon, cart
him Off and bury him. Miss Ida Clark.

A COSMOPOLITAN DISEASE.

Diphtheria is one of the cosmopolitan
diseases. 1t cares little for climate or
geography, and will get in its work al.
most anywhere that it can find the faint
ed elements upon which it feeds. No
season or atmospheric condition dis
courages its pernicious activity. nor is
any age or sex exempt. 1t is fostered
by bad air, filth, and dampness. but
easily extends its ravages among those
who seem to have the most saluborious
surroundings. 1t is perhaps more fire.
Quent in cities, but its most fatal work
is at times done in the country. The
Boston board of health recently issued
a circular containing useful informa-
ton in regard to the disease, its favor
ing conditions, and the means of dis
Infection. 1t is pronounced contagious
and infectious. 1t may be communi-
Gated by kissing, coughing, sneezing,
or the use OF infected articles, as
towels, napkins, etc. A recent report
gives the deaths from this disease in
one week as a in New York, 26 in
Chicago, Ill in st. Louis, and % in
London.

PERPLExED DEMOCRATS.

The Democratic leaders find them
selves suddenly confronted with ques-
ton almost as perplexing as the con-
duct of national campaign. 1t is the
question of who shall be chosen to sue
coed Mr.. BARNUM as chairman of the
national committee, for upon the choice
depends very largely the chances of
Democratic success in 1892. In the last
election the national Democracy had the
misfortune to be under the leadership
and management of men who did not
believe in its principles and policies,
and the wonder is that it came any
where within sight of victory. If the
party makes the same mistake next
time it doesn't need wide stretch OF
prophetic vision to tell what the result
will be.
Zeal is worth great deal in a political
campaign. 1t is difficult to see how a
man, or a set of men, imbued with pro-
lection ideas, can be Jealous i'll the
cause of tariff reform. That was the
trouble the Democrats had in the last
election. BRICE, BARNUM and COR
MAN, the three prominent leaders, were
all identified with the mining and
manufacturing interests, and were con-
sequently in favor of protection. The
Democratic party stood squarely Oh the
CLEVELAND platform for low tariff,
and yet trusted its destiny into the
hands of men who were opposed to its
policy. Surely, no such mistake ought
to be made second time, and yet there
is possibility that it will. 1t is under
stood that Senator GORMAN and Mr..
RANDALL are plotting to capture the
Democratic organization. with the ex-
pectation of reversing the party's posi-
ton on the tariff, apparently unmindful
of the fact that the tariff is the only
live question in our national politics.
President HARRISON is conscious of the
fact, and with singular fidelity to his
convictions and to the interests of his
party he is giving office only to protec-
tionists. He is careful that his party
shall not make the mistake the Demo-
Gratis did under the CLEVELAND admin
istration.
If the Democrats possess the wisdom
of the Republicans in the management
of party affairs, they will remove from
the national committee every member
who is not in full sympathy with the
low tariff movement, and fill their
places with men who will be Jealous in
the cause and will not be using their
positions to play the JUDAS IsCARIoT
in politics.
IF a protectjOnist is chosen to succeed
Mr.. BARNUM, it will be poor encourage
ment for the tariff reformers in the
party to persevere in their effort to
overthrow the monopolists. The dis
couraging effect of such folly would
be apparent in the next election, and as
the Democrats have no margin for risks,
the wise thing to do is to close up their
lines and complete their organization OIL
the only issue that will be available.

POTTER,s SERMON.

1t is noteworthy fact that all the
brilliant oratory at the centennial cele-
bratiOn has been forgotten except one
address. Mr.. DEPEw's great speech,
President HARRIsoN's appropriate re-
marks, the responses to the banquet
toasts, have all passed out of the public
mind; and yet everybody is talking
about Bishop PoTTER's centennial SER
mon. The bishop is not half so noted a
man as the president, nor is he one
fourth part the orator that Mr.. De-
PEW is.
The reason that his sermon is remem-
bered, and is so much talked about, is
because he said something the people
wanted to hear. And he spoke it, too,
in plain old English language that
everybody could understand. The very
things that he talked about were upper
most in the public mind, and the people
were wondering if there would be any
one in New York on that occasion who
would have the manhood to speak the
truth as it ought to be spoken.
Bishop POTTER is the only one of the
many eminent men assembled there to
do reverence to WAsHINGToN's men,
DRY that rose to the full dignity of the
occasion and completely filled the meas
ure of public expectation. No matter
if his remarks were offensive to those
in high station, they were none the less
truthful or timely. They were indeed
words spoken in season.
1t is hopeful sign for the republic
that the bishops sermon has attracted
such universal attention and elected so
much commentator. 1t is an evidence
that, Notwithstanding the corrupting
influences of the times, the popular
heart is still right. The masses are
not worse than they were hundred
years ago. They are just as honest and
as liberty-loving as they were in the
days of WASHINGTON. The merchant
able quality of modern politics is to
be of short duration. The people have
taken into their heads to reform the
ballot system. and they are going to do
it in spite of the powers that be. The
evil that Bishop POTTER rebuked is a
national sin, but it does not imply a
degeneracy of the people.

THE SIOUX COMMISSION.

The Sioux commission met at Wash
ipgton yesterday to receive instructions
and probably learn something as to who
the people are with whom they are to
negotiate, and what commissary stores
will be needed for their sOjourn in the
district, where first,class hotels are not
numerous. There are no indications of
the haste in this work shown in putting
the postal department in state of eff
cheney by the expulsion of the off-color
people in politics. 1t is to be hoped that
the patience Of the residents of the
country about the reservation will not
be needlessly tried further. The map
prepared for the commission leaves 49,
4,627 acres for the Indians in the six
new reservations Of Standing Rock,
Cheyenne, Crow Creek, Lower Brule,
Rosebud and Pine Ridge. This will be
not far from an average of $500 acres to
each family. on which most white peo-
pie could manage to live without being
fed by the government. Upwards of
100000 acres will be opened to the
whites for settlement.

VIGOROUSLY DENIED.
The Catholic University Not a
School of Monarchial Ideas.

NEW YORK. May Gin the CONNER
cial Advertiser to-day appears an
article on Bishop Keane and the
Catholic university, alleging that
he has imported a foreign
faculty with monarchial and reaction
airy ideas to teach young Americans;
that there is no Americanism In the
university; that there is a feeling of
OF New York at his course; that
they will not meet with the approval
val of most of the other bishops. etc. In
an interview tonight Bishop Keane
said: ''This article is mOnstrous alb
surdity. I did not individually have
the Selec ton of the professors. Moth
ing was done without consultation with
the sixteen bishops and archbishOps.
We have many able men among the
bishops and priests of the United States,
but they are engaged in their dlOceses
and seminaries and could not be spared
for the particular kind of teach
ing required in university; a
training which is certainly not to be
had in the busy life OF parish work.
The only man so equipped here at pres
ent is Manager CorcOran, of Philadel-
phia, and he was one of the first asked to
join the faculty. he declined on account
of his age and health. While we have
drawn from abroad, it is the earnest
desire of the bishops. as we'll as of the
pope, that we should use American brains
entirely as soon as possible. The asser-
ton that the professors were
selected because of their monarch
ial tendencies is contemplate absurd
ity. Every one who knows me knows
that my opinions are the opposite of
monarchical, that am an out and out
American, thoroughly imbued with the
doctrines of our American democracy
and the principles of popular SOW
ereignty established by our American
constitution. Every cardinal in
Rome. and the pope himself, is sure
OF it, There is no functiOnary in Rome,
and least Of all the pope that has the
slightest wish that we should make
tendency to monarchical teaching, for
he fully appreciates that the American
constitution contains the highest form
of government for our country. In all
details and characteristics the UNIVERSE
ty will always be thoroughly Ameri-
can"
