We cannot believe the painful re-
mort that the entire force of servants
brought from England by Lord Sack
vile is to be transferred to the White
House, superseding the American
white and coIored domestics now there.
The whole country has been asked re-
peatedly by Republican organs to re-
ioice that an American administra ton
for Americans had succeeded disguis-
ed represents tive of British interests.
And yet this American administra-

which American domestic servants
have yet received. Think of a British
cook, a British coachman, British
butler, British chamberniaids and Brit

Who couid fish when we knew dowT
yonder our father was marching his
men to the tunes of Down to OLE
Quebec, +" "Yaukee Doodle" ETC.? No
we couldn't stand it, but took our poles
and down the mountain we ran, like
frightened deer, until we came to 9
fence dividing my fathers farm from
the street where the soldiers were be.
ing drilled. How we climbed to the
top rail of that fence in full view, and
there we sat and watched. have
often thought our feelings must have
been akin to Moses, when he came in
sight of the promised land aud was not
permitted 10 enter. How we longed to
cross over and enjoy the sight, and
how we sat and talked of what we
would do when we were men, and
would be captains and train our men.
Next to being on the water or in the
mountains with good rifle, is dress
parade.
What grand sight to see thirty or
| forty thousand men in dress parade!
Artillery, cavalry, and infantry! What
a glorious sight / beheld at Benton
Barracks, just west of st. Louis, in the
year lS62-3-a grand dress parade of
40, 600 men, all in uniform. Way off
TO the right, on the crest of long
ridge, the different batteries-some
big, black, wide-mouthed, like bull
dogs; then long brass guns shone
bright as gold. Battery after ba ttery,
for half a mile. Way to tie left. ten
thousand cavelrymen mounted, all in
line, line behind line. Way down in the
lowland, masses of infantry, some in
solid masses, and others in lines long
drawn out. All at once the sound of
bugle is heard. Ah, how those mas
es change and seem to move as one
body. Now you see those batteries
swarm with men. In a moment you
see only two at each gun. Now you
see the fire and smoke belch forth. fol-
lowed by reports like thunder. In a
moment more you see those guns, with
six or eight horses attached, going like
a whirlwind to some other part of the
field. Then thousands OF the horse
men come pouring down upon those
infantrymen in the lowlands. You
think they will be annihilated. What
solid wall of bright steel is before
them-all that mass of humans being
trenched behind that solid wall Of
steel. All at once there is sheet of
fire and wall Of smoke. Such q con-
fused mass!-the horse and his rider
in utter confusion for few moments.
Soon the smoke lifts. You hear the
sound of the bugle-call above the din.
Soon you see, away on another part Of
the field. the horses and riders coming
from every direction. Then, again,
you see them once more in their places,
all quiet, and ready for the another
charge, and way below you see those
solid bodies of infantry forming and
reforming, ready for the next onset.
So the programme changes until each
division withdraws from the scene.
How forcibly all this brings to mind
what Job said of the horse in time Of
battle: Hast thou given the horse
his strength? Hast thou clothed his
neck with thunder? Canst thou make
him afraid? He paweth in the valley
and rejoiceth in his strength. He
goeth on to meet the armed men.
He saith among the trumpets, Ha! ha!
and he smelleth the battle afar off:
the thunder of the captains and the
sboutiug.n II. p. r.

WHY BOILERS EXPLODE.

Blythe explosion of boiler at the works oi
R. Munroe & Son few days ago four lives
were lost. Yesterday the Coroner's jury re-
turned verdict in which the owners of the
boiler and Boiler Inspector William Trenter
were censured for disobeying the law. The
boiler which exploded with such fatal effect
had not been inspected for two years. The
law says every boiler shall be inspected
once a year. 1t is a law which should be
carried out strictly by the officers appointed
for the purpose, and the owners of boilers
should be eager to comply with its pro-
visions, if for no other reason than because
it is in their own interest to do so.
But the public is as deeply concerned in
the matter as the owners of boilers. The
use of steam is now so extensive in this city
and county that everybody is vitality con-
cerned in the punctual and efficient inspec-
tion Of boilers. The inspectors are paid to
lessen as far as possible the dangers at
tendant on the use OF steam. If they fail to
do their work conscientiously they commit
nothing less than crime.
1t is timely to refer to the new provision
of the Federal law as regards the inspection
of steamer boilers, an account of which will
be found elsewhere in this issue. The Sc
we're tests there ordered for aged steamer
boilers would seem to be as applicable to
boilers OF land.

soon as the laws permit II existing laws
are enforced, only those who are. self-sup-
porting can come in. And the labor of such
has productive value beyond what is neces-
sary to sustain them. They eat, wear
clothes, must have houses to live in, become
buyers and consumers in short, and so add
their quota to the activity.of trade and man
ufactures and to the demand for labor Of all
sorts. 1t seems strange that 1t is needful to
recall these facts; but they certainly cannot
have been considered by the authors or sup
porters of the bill now at Harrisburg, whose
idea is that the business of the country and
the labor market would improve if all aliens
were excluded.
With abuses of immigration the United
States Government alone can efficiently
deal. Its officers have been clearly negli-
gent in allowing violations and evasions of
the laws already on the statute book. 1t
is due that the law against impor-
tation of contract labor, for instance, should
be punished as sternly as the smuggling Of
ordinary goods. If the Legislature of Penn
sylvania were to pass resolution calling
attention to this point, it would accomplish
more than it is likely to do by the too
sweeping act which treats all classes of im-
migrants alike, and fails to consider grave
economic questions as to the effect of the
better class of immigration on the business
and labor market.

ovER-REACHING THE MARX.

The Oklahoma boomers seem to have
fallen into the error frequently made by
Western boomers, and pushed their schemes
forward with an utter disregard Of conse-
quences. The result is trouble for them
selves and utter weariness of their actions
on the part of the law-abiding people of the
country. 1t may be true that the Okla
homa district is one of the regions of the
earth most bountifully favored by nature, and
therefore a very desirable land in which to
settle, but it must be remembered that the
territory is not yet opened to homesteaders,
and consequently those who are seeking to
establish themselves there in defiance of
law are endangering their own chances of
securing possession of the much-coYeted
lands.
There are tracts still unsettled in several
Of the new States and Territories in which
the soil is said to be equal to any in the In
dian Territory. Under these circumstances
it is hard to account for the conduct of the
boomers" who are exhibiting such undue
haste and gresorting to such rash measures
to gain foothold in Oklahoma. Mean
time, the misguided boomers are learning
how unwise it is to try to DEFY the authority
of Uncle Sam.

no PANTS, PLEASE!

There are good many men in this neigh
borhood who ride bicycles or tricycles, and
sooner or later the awful question will con-
front them, if it has not already done so, Of
how to define the garments with which their
neither limbs are clad. At the meeting of
the League of American Wheelmen recently
it was discovered by a youth who proudly
hailed from Boston, that these neither gar
ments, usually abbreviated to half the usual
length, had been immorally, profanely and
inaccurately called trousers" in the by
laws of the league. But in the natural ex-
citement incident to this discovery the Bos-
tonian 'eycler cried out: Trousers are long
pants" The assemblage gave vent to deep
drawn sighs at the ''long pants" from a
Bostonian mouth.
The danger of such discussion is appar-
ent. 1t is of course advisable that wheel
men here and elsewhere should understand
correctly what they wear. There is no need,
however, to drag in the heathenish and hid
eous word pants into the controversy.
Whether If be settled to call this article of
attire knee-breeches, as the League of
American Wheelmen has decided to do, or
to coin some new word, such as demi-
trousers, or trouserlets, or to revert to the
old-fashioned term, knickerbockers, we sim
cerely trust that the 'cyclers of Allegheny
county viii abstain from pants long or short
in their conversation.

sALooN-KEEPIEG ETHICS,

One of the interesting features of the
License Court now in session is Judge
Whites running commentary on the ethics
of the liquor business. Yesterday he said:
''Money-making is merely an incident to
the saloon business; the primary thing is
the accommodation of the public"
1t is to be feared that liquor dealers will
hardly coincide with this view of their bus
iness. The man who puts his money into a
saloon, and his labor into serving his custo-
mers, is apt to regard money-making as the
primary object, to which he will render all
accommodation for the public directly sub
sidiary. A good many people will agree
with Judge White that it would be ad-
vantageous, if liquor must be sold, to have
the simple and decent accommodation of the
thirsty set above the making of money.
But to the saloon keeper who wants to make
a living, or a fortune, the principal end in
his view will always be to look after the
dollars first, and anything else afterward.
And the testimony in the License Court
seems to set the saloon keeper above the
plumber, the natural gas companies. and
even the iceman as a coiner of money.

He and Lige Try Their Hands mt a Game
Which Neither Understands.
From the Washington Post.j
Rain prevented President Harrison from
taking his usual constitutional walk on Tues
day, and in his determination to fnd some
kind of recreation, he called Secretary Hal
ford, and the two men began an investigation
. of the ramifications of the White House. They
finally invaded the old billiard room. which
has not been used. since President Arthur's
time. The Private Secretary not knowing any
more about billiards than the President was
nonplussed when he was directed to ''set the
balls" The two men shucked their coats
however. selected each q cue. and began to
chalk the ends of the sticks like professionals.
'Shall it be pocket game or three ball
balkP" asked Mr. Halford
whats that?" asked the President.
II don't know" replied the Secretary, "ex-
cept have seen the terms used in the sporting
columns of the Indianapolis Journal"
The President smiled as he replied: "All
right; let it be three balls, and we will make it
cushion game"
The two men fixed rule that each should
have three times to strike at his own ball with
the cue and four successive opportunities to
hit a second ball with his own after he had
succeeded in punching the white alley" At
the end of an hour the President drew long
sigh, and, putting up his cue, inquired of his
Private Secretary:
"Lige, how does the score stand?'
The Private Secretary put on his Methodist
eyeglasses, and, looking at the blackboard, re-
piled to the Presbyterian President:
II have forgotten to keep the score and don't
see scratch on the board"

EMPEROR WILLIAM AT HOME.
Like His Grandfather He Loves to Live
Simply.

Simply.
A writer In the Berlin TdgebLatt gives some
interesting particulars concerning the home
life of the Emperor, William II. Like his
grandfather. the Emperor loves to live simply,
and, when mis- habits are not interfered with by
the presence of distinguished guests at the
castle. he rises at T. breakfasts at 73O and dimes
with the Empress at the questionable hour of
l. His favorite relaxation is to play with his
children.
Every day he receives, upon the average,
about 600 letters. These are brought to him on
a salyer as they arrive, and he opens those let
ters which bear a handwriting, coat of arms
or postmark which is known to him, or ex-
cites his curiosity. The rest of the correspond
ence goes unopened to the Civil Cabinet, the
members of which deal with it as may be neces-
sary. The majority of the envelopes contain
begging letters or personal petitions. The EN-
peror has only one body servant at time in
attendance upon him, and this man shaves him,
takes care of his wardrobe, and affords him
what assistance he requires while dressing.
Much of the Emperor's time is spent in his
private library, where he writes much and
rapidly. Every new book, and every newspa-
per dealing with military or naval subjects,
whether it be in German, French Russian, or
English, is seen by him; and, besides being
regular b1b1o-maniac, SO far as regards books
on strategy and military history, he is an en-
thusiastic collector of portraits and autographs
of his more celebrated contemporaries. He
leaves the education of his children entirely to
the direction of the Empress, who is not only
strict disciplinarian, but also extremely atten-
tive to the religious training of the young
Princes. This she at present herself under
takes. The children have various masters and
governesses who visit them; but they have as
yet no military governor. nor even any personal
servants or attendants beyond such nursery
staff as might be found IN any well-to-do bour-
geois family in Berlin. At the outset of his
reign the Emperor rendered himself somewhat
notorious for his readiness to speak in public.
Curiously enough, he has the reputation among
his personal friends of being one of the most
silent of men, save on the rare occasions when
he throws off the monarch and gives rein to his
natural high spirits. So much is this the case,
that in his household the saying is, THE EN-
peror never speaks; he only orders"
