For Billy Moran.

COMMISSIONS Mount went down to Lin.
coin Thursday to see Billy Moran, the late
clerk of the BOARD of county commissioners,
who is now at the insane asylum.
Speaking of his protege's condition TO a re-
porter yesterday, Mr.. Mount said: Billy is
no better. He is allowed, under the rules of
the institution, to receive newspapers and
letters, and these seem to have a derogatory
effect upon him. He received a bunch of
letters from the superintendent the other
day, and Immediately handed them back TO
him, saying; "If there's any news in these
give it to the newspapers" evidently i'm
agining himself back at his desk in the court

The attempt Of some Of the farmers
and butchers In the East TO keep out the
competition Of dressed beef, by getting
upsuch laws as the Pennsylvania Leg
islature last winter failed 10 pass, r. get
ting some very severe knocks In the state
courts. II Is 10 I've sincerely hoped, IN
the interest ofsound government policy,
and wholesome public opinion, that
all such empirical legislation will fail OF
its results. The laws which prescribe
that beef brought from without the state
or county shall I've offered for sale with
out being inspected by local inspectors,
is not intended to protect the customer
from UNIV wholesome meat, but to give the
local dealers monopoly, and to put an
embargo on trade. As such they merit
no consideration. If dressed beef Is not
ms good as that butchered at the place of
market, it will not bring rs much and
if II is better, IL ought to bring more.
The laws of trade, Of supply and demand,
will find for all commodities their
proper level. The attempt to keep out
competition is an effort at the expense
Of the consumer. A fine specimen of 1t
was the Interchangeable legislation in
this state some years ago, for the ap-
proval of which Governor Pattison was
Justly condemned. Another species of
II was the interchangeable legislation
of Congress, which President Cleveland
weakly approved to the discredit of his
almost uniformly commendable admin
istration. II pays governments, state
and federal, to be honest, TO be just and
10 be fair and sooner or later an en-
lightencd public opinion will compel
them TO be so.

A Place for i'itkin,

And SO President Harrison has found
q place for Pitkin, of Louisiana. The
name had familiar sound. 1t recalls
malodorous memories Of the days of the
great electoral infamy of lS76-lS77.
when fraud was made triumphant and
the elect president of the United States
was cheated out of his place. 1t re-
wives recollections of Pinkston and
perjury, of Pinchback and Picket of
Price and Pulcher.
Pitkin, it will be remembered, was the
United States marshal down there who
helped to set up the first job by which
ii was tried to steal the state of Louisi-
ana. The election machinery there
under control of the Kellogg govern
ment was used most desperately To Sc
cure an enormous fraudulent registra-
tion of the negroes and to suppress the
white vote. New Orleans in 1916. ac-
cording to state census, had only
2l,6l4 male negro population, and vet a
year later it had 23,495 negro votes
registered f; while from ID total white
population Of l45,72l only 34,9l3 were
registered as voters. And yet TO cheat
ou' VI theit ilSHtIul IiaJOflty an
elaborate scheme, of which Pitkin was a
part, was devised. The marshal, Pitkin,
holding the place, and postmasters organ
lied their Offices for the purpose. and
their deputies and clerks sent cut 81, 900
circulars with instructions to the carriers
70 return all not personally delivered.
They managed To get in some IL 900 in
thls way, and few days before the elec-
taon they had eleven thousand warrants
sworn out against the persons who bore
1hese names, many of them being lead
3ng citizens who We're thus innocen,Iv
p1eeed In the attitude of violating the
NV. Their names were, on this slender
Apsetext, stricken from the registry books
ond 73s white mems names were thus
okyicken from the lists.
Pitkin has been good while getting
pah for his work. Hayes, not loath to
prOdt from fraud, but not always con-
elDeent in rewarding those who made il
reU0table for him. turned Pitkin out, be-
eAnne the claims Of the notorious Jack
wharton were stronger. He got TO he

Pilots and CAPTAINS.

The Roach built cruiser Boston has
been kept hard at work for some time
past ornamenting the Brooklyn navy
yard, and when the prolonged idleness
of our very few new ships began to ex-
cite the comments of the press, nothing
better could he thought of for them than
series of exhaustive trials in home
waters. These tests could bc Of little
value, because the Roach cruisers do not
in any way approach the high standard
set for our new navy under Secretary
Whitney, and as the navigation of our
ships in home waters must he without
the help of pilots, IL Is pity that they
should be imperilled by useless ma
nnuvres. The rule prohibiting the use
of pilots, may be very charming in
theory, but practice has shown II too
costly. 1t would he n very nice thing
If the officers of our navy could bc forced
to SO thorough knowledge of our coast
that they could run the war-ships swiftly
and safely by dangerous shoals and
passes, and draw IA pursuing enemy on
the rocks or sand bars. This plan of
war would make strong feature of
coast defense of the natural perils of our
coast, but unfortunately IL seems to de
mand more than the best of sailors can
give. a thorough knowledge of our
thousands of miles of coast could not bc
gained by the life study of any one man,
much less by the occasional attention OF
n busy captain. Old ocean moves her
shoals, and all along our shores the lines
of safety change 40 frequently that q
pilot living by guiding ships over short
course, is often puzzled by the shifting
of soundings, and even by the changes
of lights or buoys. The latest penalty OF
stubborn insistence upon this foolish
rule is the disastrous ending of the Bos
tons trial. She ran on the rocks in New.
ports well known harbor, aud whether
her damage is slight or grave has proved
the folly of this attempt 10 do without
pilots. II Tracy is bound To make pilots
of naval officers, let him 20 about il in
some less expensive way than this, that
has almost ended i'm the wrecking of an
eight hundred thousand dollar war-ship.

II Was u Trick He Learned During the
War, ana II served Him Well.
From the New York sun.
From where we sat on the tavern vemnda
we could look right across the Mississippi
river, although at the edge of the river on
our side there was q bluff of 10 feet high,
with % strong current below. All along
this bluli were commons, and we had an
unobstructed view. We were talking and
smoking when goat came around the
corner of an old abandoned warehouse and
began to feed toward us. Five minutes
later an old white-headed darkey, using a
cane To help him along, came ont from be-
hind the same warehouse and stood almost
on the edge of the bluff, and appeared to
gaze across the river.
What fat take that goat has got, if he
only know it, whispered one of the party

who seemed totally unsuspicious of dan
ger, but we didn't. Human nature is Just
that way. lie had been there two or three
minutes when the goat observed him and
began Ia twitch his tail. Ii was none of
his business that the man was there and
no law compelled him TO kick up Il
fuss, but we saw that he meant to do
it, AS he gathered for II run every man
rose up to warn the victim, but no warn
ing was uttered. II was human nature to
want to see the fun. The goat shot away
like flash, and as he drew near he made "a
long jump to give full force 10 the intended
blow. Next instant both had disappeared
aud we ran down expecting To see them
struggling in tho muddy waters. AS we
reached the bluffs the old man rose up
from pit dug within two feet of the edge
and grinned and lifted his hat and said

He pointed 10 the goat, which was swim

down, and one of the party replied:

WHAT think the bold and valiant fisher
men of Lancaster of catching fish s feet
long and weighing l30 pounds with a rod
and reel and line, taking all of three hours
and course of three miles To land him.
Yet this is the sport that many fishermen
from the North find when they 90 to the
southwestern coast of Florida and fish i'm
the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. This
nionstrous fish is the tarpon and is the
king of all fish. From the brilliance of rho
scales, his great size and his uuyiclding
spirit, he is commonly called tho "silvcr
king" There is an interesting article
III ScrbHeT'S NIg1siHs for August,
descriptive of the peculiarities of the fish
and the difficulties of catching him. The
tarpon is something of cross between a
huge herring-to which family it belongs
and huge blue fish. IL ranges i'm weight
from 90 10 200 pounds and in length from
A. TO q feet. \ fisherman who had caught
hve of these monstrous fish in one season
was considered particularly fortunate. and
the most skiiliul can never land more than
one of three that he hooks. Every summer
the famous ports along the coast are
filled with enthusiastic anglers who
go home at the end of the season mos,
happy and proud, If happily they have
succeeded in landing with the rod and reel
but one of these giant fishes. The pride of
tarpon fishermen is like that of the deer
and moose hunters. They despise smaller
game and the vigorous dive of the black
bass and the sudden dart of the lako
salmon are child's play to the heroes along
side of n three hours struggle with "A l3O
pound tarpon.
All this is respectfully referred To the
Mell-known anglers of note and skill in
the lucquan and Bay clubs.
