WELCOME VISITORS.

With what uncommon joy President Har-
rison must have greeted the delegation of
school girls that waited on him yesterday!
Here were dozen hearty, healthy, and we
will be bound, handsome young women,
who came simply to crafty their natural
feminine curiosity and express their respect
for the Chief Magistrate of the Nation.
They only asked for shake of the hand
and look into the Presidential face. They
were granted both readily.
Very few of Mr.. Harrison's visitors nova
days can be so easily accommodated. On
the face of almost every man who enters
the Presidents library is an air of desire
and deep expectancy. A penchant for post
Offices and craving for consulates are the
prevailing characteristics of their converse
ton. But these jolly school girls ate candy
all the time, and if they said anything
beyond murmurous how-d'ye-do and good
by, we will venture to say it was some
pretty speech such as the free and independ-
ent maidens of Texas are famous for. They
were delighted with everything they saw;
and the President did not give sigh of re-
lief when their trim dresses whisked out of
the door. Perhaps he heaved a sigh when
he thought how few and far between the
visits of angels are.

THoRNs AT THE oUTsTART.

In taking up journalism in the wild and
woolly West, Russell Harrison has been
doomed to an early acquaintance with some
of the thorns in the path. A miserable
slander of peculiarly mean and cowardly
sort, affecting Washington lady, found its
way to Buffalo, was there printed and
strayed into the paper which Mr.. Harrison
publishes in Montana, before Mr.. Harrison
was yet connected with its direction.
Though he caused retraction of the story, it
seems that a personal apology on his own
part was further insisted on, and in default
he was yesterday subjected to criminal
prosecution in New York.
The case has no Importance beyond its
personal bearings, excepting in so far as it
adds another illustration to the possibilities
of procedure for libel. If the original
libeler were punished, or even the party
who copied the story at secondhand, only
justice might be done; but it is pretty
rough experience for Russell at the
threshold Of his career to have to imply by
personal apology that he was personally
cognizant of an offense Of which he knew
nothing, or else enjoy the scarcely less disa-
greeable alternative of being adjudicated
upon by New York Alderman.

EASTERN CRITICS BEWARE!

A considerable portion of the West is
growing extremely sensitive upon the point
of its literary standing. In Minnesota,
Iowa, Nebraska and other Western States,
we have recently seen signs in plenty of
dissatisfaction with the air of superiority
which the East, and more especially Boston,
is still in the habit of putting on when deal
ing with literature or art originating in the
West. And this chatting seems to be very
fairly justified by the products which West
ern authors have exhibited, not only in the
local fields, but in those of the nation, and
sometimes of the world.
The Omaha Herald is the latest to voice
this insurrectionary feeling against the lit
erary patronage of the East 1t seems that
in the last number of the Book Buyer it is
insinuated rather vaguely that Miss Alice
French, better known under her nomme de
plume Of Octave Thanet, who lives at Dav-
export, Ia, owes her picturesque vocabu-
larry, delicate discrimination, and admirable
style to the fact that her father occasionally
went through Boston on the cars This has
provoked the Herald to recite the names of
a score of deservedly famous authors of
Western or Southern birth, and suggests
satirically that they all owed their literary
ability to some chance visit for a week to
New York or Boston.
1t is painful to see the truly great critics
of the East set up In the pillorY. But
needed reforms are seldom brought about
without pain to somebody. We can witness
the crucifxion of Boston critic with a
feeling that is fearfully near to joy.

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PITTsBURG, FRIDAY, APR. Il 1889.
TURNING THE TABLES.

Judging from the report of Sir Charles
Russell's speech before the Parnell Com
mission yesterday it is not unreasonable to
believe that it is the intention of Mr.. Par
nell and his colleagues to ask for the ap-
pOintment of a royal commission to inves-
tigate the Times conspiracy, if the present
commission decide that it is beyond their
statutory powers to make such an inquiry.
This is an intimaIion of Mr.. Parnell's re-
solve to complete the rout of his dastardly
enemies, which will be hailed with joy
wherever freedom and fair play are held in
high esteem.
The eloquence of a great pleader was
never better employed than is Sir Charles
Russell's in the extraordinary trial now in
progress. Already it is plain that he will
leave the conspirators lurking under the
sorry shadow of the Times, not a plank to
stand on, before he resumes his seat, Yes
terdsy the suborners of perjury and forgery,
as well as their wretched tools, felt the
stinging lash of Sir Charles tongue. A
most dramatic scene indeed, though the pro-
ceedings before the commission have been
strangely fruitful of such. The court
crowded but hushed into solemn silence,
while the rope OF logic and hard facts is
winding about the malignant prosecutors of

CARNEGIE AND THE RAILROADS.

SCRANTON Republican; Mr.. Carnegie might
with great propriety have directed some Of his
shafts at the Legislature as well as the railroad
corporations.
WHEELING IntelHgencer: That is not a
wise management which says to the people
that no law can reach railroad company de-
termined to have its own way. What if the
people be determined to have their own way?
PHIkADELPRIA Times: We are glad that
the Legislature. 1t may not accomplish just
what he hoped to attain by it, but it must be
productive OF general good.
BALTIMORE Herald: AS troublesome and
perpIexing problem, Mr.. Carnegie's statement
Of the case is vivid enough, and its solution re-
quires the wisest and most far-reaching
thought of the scholars and statesmen Of our
day.
PHILADELPHIA Record: The Pennsylvania
Railroad Company should instruct its repre-
sentatives at Harrisburg that the time has come
to enforce the Constitution II they could
earn the appreciation of the company without
a violation of their oaths to obey the Constitu-
ton, why should they be perjured without
cause?
HARRISBURG Telegraph: Discrimination in
freights is subject that will continue to de-
mand attention until something equitable Is
secured from the Legislatures Of all the States
lying between the West and the seaboard, but
a law that will be fair to all will not result
from discussion in the temper Of the ad-
dress of Mr.. Carnegie.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-04-12
AN UNSUCCESSFUL MANEuVER.

The evident attempt to switch off from the
clear main track of the admitted discrimina-
tions against Pittsburg to the convenient
siding leading to Mr.. Carnegie's personal
motives will mislead nobody. Whatever
the motives Of the Braddock manufacturer
he has thrown an instructive and timely
light on a subject which every succeeding
day will more strongly show to be of vital
importance to Pittsburg. Whether what he
has so boldly said, backed by the corrohS-
rative testimony of so many other lesaing
shippers, will or not insure State Commits
sion, or even the passage Of the mild
anti-discrimination bill now before the
House, or stimulate movement for a COM
petitive line, is to be demonstrated further
on. That the public are enlightened by
the discussion is undoubted. That even the
Pennsylvania Railroad officials may be
brought by it to a fsrther-sighted policy TO-
warG this section is even within belief Mr..
Carnegie has pressed home upon them the
vital fact that they derive their greatest
profits from Pittsburg and the adjacent ter
ritory. He has showed that the railroad ton
mage of Pittsburg shipments is greater than
that of any other city in the United States.
He has suggested the pertinent inquiry
whether 1t is not better business policy for
the Pennsylvania Railroad to develop this
gold mine at its terminus here by equal

PuRE PATRInTISM-

The Legislature took the fine old war
horse Patriotism out of its stall yesterday
and gave it rousing gallop in the Capitol
at Harrisburg. 1t is hardly necessary to
add that this inspiring scene was incident
to debate on proposed jaunt and jollifca-
tion for the Legislators at the States ex-
pense. 1t is really wonderful how patriotic
legislator can be when his fingers are in
the peoples purse.
Well, the result of this particular exhibi-
tion of patriotism is that the entire Legisla-
ture, Senators and Assemblymen, and the
Governor and his staff, will all take part in
the Centennial celebration at New York,
the necessary expenditure for transportation
and hotel accommodations to be betrayed
by the State Treasury.
A few Senators were outspoken in theirop-
position to this use of the States money, but
it was finally approved by a vote of 20 to 13.
The patriotic Legislators will therefore as
sist in the extraordinary proceedings
planned by the great McAllister and smiled
on by every individual in the immortal
-Four Hundred.
when the Senate's concurrence with the
Houses resolution was reported to the latter
body if>was hailed with natural enthusiasm,
to which the erudite W. Fow, of Philadel-
phia, contributed witty inquiry as to the
identity of George Washington. All the
Representatives present were thus enabled
to astound Mr.. Fow, and possibly, their
constituents, with the lmmensity of their
knowledge revealed in the reply that WASH
ingtOn was first in peace, first in war, and
first in the hearts of his countrymen.

rates, in place of taxing it specially to keep
up non-paYing competition for the benefits
of points afar of, like Chicago.
In bustling, active city like Pittsburg,
and in times like these when enterprises and
the men behind them move with such 10
mentum, it will naturally happen that some
people jostle some other people. The toes
that are never trodden on are few and far
between. This may produce personal likes
and dislikes, but such should have no place
in questions which affect the prosperity Of
the whole city. AS THE DISPATCH stated
at the start, the matter of freight rates is in
no sense personal issue; and il Mr.. Car
negie is to be answered at all it must be
upon the merits of his contention. not by the
befogging irrelevancy of guessing rightly or
wrongly at the immaterial point as to his
motive.
1t is the truth and the force Of what he
says that has to do with the case-not his
motive in the sayiug of it.

PEOPLE OF PROMINENCE.

Ex-ATToRNEY GENERAL GARLAND has
hung out his shingle and will spend the rest of
his days in Washington practicing law.
JOHN s. BUTLER, messenger in the State
Department. has been designated to accompany
the Samoan Commission as q messenger.
HIRAM WILLIAMSON, one of the 600 who
rode into the VALLEY of Death" at Balaklava-
in 1854, has just been made chief porter at the
Boston postofice. He is 20 years of age.
SENATOR SPooNER, of Wisconsin, is the
smallest in stature of the members of the
United States Senate, but one Of the brainiest
men in that body. When he first went to
Washington he was subjected to no end of ridi-
cule about his size. which touched his sensitive
nature not little.
GOVERNOR R1GGs, of Delaware. owns
dozen peach farms, is heavily interested in sew
eral railroads, and is the possessor of wealth in
other forms. He does not show this in his
dress, however, for he wears q swallow-tail
coat low-cut vest, and wide trousers, all of the
style of 40 years ago, while a high white hat
covers his head.
ONE of the earliest recollections of the late
Lewis Hayden, the well-known colored man of
Boston, was an amusing experience that he
had when he saw Lafayette. He was perched
on a fence, joining heartily in the enthusiasm.
He attracted the attention of the distinguished
Frenehman, who looked directly at him and
lifted mis- hat. This SO frightened the little
follow that he fell backward off the fence.
WHEN Attorney General Miller first arrived
in Washington he looked like plain country
lawyer on an outing. His suit of rusty black
had an questionable cut and set. He wore a
rundown collar, with shoestring necktie.
and the high top boots which allow the trous-
ers to find refuge when the snow is deep. Strag-
Cling and untrimmed whiskers fringed his
honest face Now he has changed all this. In
the Riggs house the other night he wore an
elegant full dress suit of fine material fashion
able cut and perfect fit. and he looked thor
oughly at home in it.
THE oldest Episcopal clergyman in Massa-
chusetts, and one of the oldest in New En-
gland, is Rev. DR.. Thomas r. Lambert, of
Boston. He is nearly so years old, and has
retired from active service, but his mental
faculties are well preserved. He held pleasant
social relations with General Jackson, Daniel
Webster, Edward Everett, General Cass, Sena-
tor Benton and other prominent men of 40
years ago. For 20 years he was chaplain in
the navy, and he has been Freemason for
nearly so years, the thIrtY-third degree being
conferred on him in 1859.
LIEUTENANT PARKER, of the navy, will
accompany the Samoan Commission, which
sails from New York Saturday, in the capacity
of Secretary. He has been attached to the
Adams for three years, and it is expected that
his knowledge of Samoan affairs, acquired DUR
ing the stay of the Adams at Apia, will be of
assistance to the commission. Lieutenant
Buckingham, now naval attache at the United
States Legation at London, but lately attached
to the Berlin Mission in a similar capacity,
will join the commission at Berlin, and also
act in the capacity of Secretary.

MAKE THE COLONEL CONSUL.
Why Editor Shepard Should Represent
Uncle Sam at Jerusalem.

Uncle Sam at Jerusalem.
From the Washington Post.1
We nominate Colonel Elliott F. Shepard, of
the New York Moil and Express, for Consul at
Jerusalem. 1t is most surprising thing that
the eminent fitness of the appointment has not
occurred to the State Department long ago.
A Jerusalem edition of the Mail and Express
would be great thing. At the head of the
editorial page Colonel Shepard could print a
column Of fresh, juicy paragraphs out of the
Bible and put them into as many languages as
a patent medicine almanac. Again would the
money changers be driven from the temple,
Colonel Shepard could show the benighted
ones how much better the business could be
conducted ON regular Sstock exchange. 1t
would not be six months before a crowd of
lean, nervous 'bulI" Pharisees would be
climbing over the benches and ''bear" Sad
ducees, yelling "Dead Sea and Jordan consoli-
dated. seller 40, seller SO. seller 3S3z" dan to
Beersheba short line, here'y'are 20 n'arf, n o
quarter, 25 for thousan', yah!'
Obi it would be great times for old Jerusha.
The good editor would put stained glass
window in the temple in commemoration OF his
lamented father-in-law, and have the best choir
of bowling dervishes that money could hire.
And then that Monday morning edition-but
why pursue this fruitful suggestion furtherf
By all means let Colonel Shepard be recognized
by the administration. He is more than a
genius; he recognizes geniosity.

WALsH,s LITTLE CHAPTER.

Some day a full history of how the Lon
don Times conducted its conspiracy against
Psrnell will be written, and it will make a
narrative at once terrible and amusing.
While Sir Charles Russell israpidly destroy
ing the last standing stones of the wall that
the Times worked so hard to erect about Par
nell and his colleagues, from outside sources
almost daily we are having the new details
of the attempts made by the Times instru-
men.
Yesterday Thomas Walsh revealed an
other chapter of the miserable story. He
was to have been witness before the Par
nell Commission for the Times, but slipped
away the night before he was called.
Walsh had been confined in Jail for long
term for participation in Fenian plots.
While a prisoner Scotland Yard officials
tried to induce him to testify that Mr.. Par
nell had been implicated in Fenian conspir-
acies, but he refused. After he had been
liberated on ticket of leave, however, he con-
cluded to pretend to help the Times case
and in reality to help it to destruction.
Mr.. Soames, the solicitor of the Times,
accepted Wslsh's assistance with innocent
joy and sent him to hunt for dangerous doc
uments in ireland. Walsh hunted indus
triously so long as Mr., Seames kept up the
supply of ten-pound notes. of course he
found nothing, unless it were that Mr..
Soames was willing, nay eager, to swallow
any absurd cock-and-bulI story so long as it
was hurtful to the credit of the Home
Rulers. Finally, as is well known, Walsh
disappeared, and part of the Times struct-
ure FELL in.

DUTY HAD TO BE PAID.
Imported Steel Plates for Tunnel That
COuldn't Como In Free.


WASHINGTON, April I1.-Application was re-
Gently made to the Treasury Department for
the free entry on steel plates imported Tor use
in the construction OF the international tunnel
under the st. Clair river at Port Huron, Mich.
The plan for the construction Of this tunnel
involves the driving of hollow iron cylinder,
with sharp steel dredges, under the bed of the
river by hydraulic pressure. Two of these cylin-
ders are to be constructed and driven from op-
posite sides Of the river, to meet and join mid
way, and viii be left in that position, to form
the outer shell or shield of the tunnel. Inc
imported plates In question are for use in the
construction OF the cylinder on the American
side, and Will be attached as fast as required.
The importers claim that the plates are en-.
titled to free entry under previous decisions OF
the department that materials to be used on
the river in the construction Of an interna-
tional bridge are not considered importat1ons
into the United States within the meaning OF
the law, and therefore are not subject to duty,
The Collector at Port Huron reports that 1t
will take about three months to put the plates
together in the required form, and that they
will be put into an excavation l., $50 feet from
the river, from which point they are to be
forced forward at a rate of speed which, &C
cording to the engineer in charge, will take
from two to three years to bring about the
meeting OF the two cylinders or shields.
In view OF this statement the department, &C
ccrding to Assistant Secretary Tichenor, is Of
the opinion that the ultimate projected use OF
these plates as part of an International tun-
mel is too remote and uncertain to warrant the
application of the rule laid down in the deci-
sfons above cited. The Collectors assessment
OF duty was therefore affirmed.
