PITTsBURG. SUNDAY, JUNE %, 1885,
SEVERITY WAS REQUIRED.

Judge Stoves response to the plea for a
light sentence in the case of H. f. Voight,
the defaulting cashier of the Farmers and
Mechanics Bank, was more pertinent than
favorable. Instead of taking the lenient
view, the Judge declared that it was case
for severe punishment, and carried out that
opinion BY sentence of six years in the
penitentiary.
The view Of the Court was certainly more
in accordance with the public requirements
than the plea for leniency. The latter was
the usual one, that the cashier was led into
speculation and fully expected to return the
banks money. But if there is any class
which ought to know that to use fiduciary
funds to speculate with for the hope of pri-
vste gain is breach of trust, it is that to
which this defendant belonged. To treat
such ofenses lightly and to punish severely
the man who steals small sums would be, as
the Judge said, parody on justice.
This sentence of six years to the peniten-
tiary will be likely to put the practice of
speculating with other peoples money out
of fashion, for a time, among bank officials,
at least

AN AEARcHIsTIc EVASION.

Judge Williamson, of Chicago, has given
anarchy a serious set back. If he had not
sent Anarchist Ducey to Jail the other day
for declining to serve as a juror in rob-
berry case because he did not believe in con-
victing people of crime, it is very likely
that the ranks of the Anarchists would have
been swelled considerably.
Everybody knows how great are the OBJ
jections of many of our best citizens to serv-
ing on juries. Many of them are able to
escape jury service, but some get caught,
and in spite of piteous excuses are cribbed
in the box. We can readily imagine how
such unfortunates as these would have
jumped at Mr.. Ducey's conscientious plea
that his principles would not permit him to
convict man, if Judge Williamson
had not decided the excuse invalid
and changed the irksomeness of
jury service to the disgrace of
night in Jail. 1t would have been very
amusing sight to see the bloated bondholder,
and the crushing capitalist, and millionaires
Of all sorts and sizes standing on the plat
form Of anarchy and proclaiming their in
ability to convict any fellow man of crime.

men that will be ready to break out into
acts of violence, evidently for the sole pur-
pose of taking what it wants by the strong
arm without regard to law or rights.
This is the universal rule of corporate
action. Something either in the character
of the legal advice that the corporations OBJ
tain, or in the influences which control
their executive policy, seems to make it
necessary for them to fight first and go to
law afterward. The result is that when
ever two corporations want the same right
of way, or one wants the right of way and
the other does not wish the first to have it,
both proceed to the levying of armed forces
with all the industry and about the same
disregard of public right, that character
lied the feudal barons in the early part of
the dark ages.
Some comment was made the other day
upon the fact that Chicago corporation
proposes to undertake the governmental
function Of execution. In this connection
it seems no more than fair to say that when
corporations undertake to levy war the
addition to their powers of that of killing
off criminals, is somewhat unimportant.

MR. FINKs TROUBLE.

The pending resignation of Mr.. Albert
Fink, the father and executive of the trunk
line pool, creates considerable talk in rail-
road circles. 1t may be pertinent in pass
ing to observe that the sensation is rather
out of proportion to the importance of the
event. Mr.. Fink has before this developed
the habit of sending in his resignation when
the trunk line pool does not run to suit him.;
but the railroad presidents have generally
been able, by renewing their promises of
good behavior, to persuade him to keep on
drawing his salary.
But the cause which evokes this resigna-
tion of Mr.. Fink is of especial interest to
Pittsburg. Being the apostle of the scheme
to suppress competition, that gentleman's
designations have always been evoked when
the forces OF competition prove too much
for the pool. 1t is now stated that the re-
duction in iron ore rates for this section is
what has soured Mr. Fink's existence. The
Pittsburg public is informed that iron rates
are "out of plumb" and that the old rates
will have to be restored, presumably under
the penalty that if this is not done Mr.. Fink
will decline to take back his resignation.
Possibly Pittsburg can reconcile itself to
the latter alternative. If Mr.. Fink's life in
the pool is not worth living, unless Pitts
burg pays double prices for its transporta-
tion, this section will be able to consent to
Mr.. Fink's retirement, and still to cherish
the hope that the railroads will be able to
wriggle along without his presiding genius,
as they did in days of yore.

Hsrald's cable special, that Mr.. and Mrs.
John W. Mackay are going to institute
libel proceedings against some of the Lon
don papers which persist in saying unpleas-
ant things about those bonanza millionaires
is interesting, but the further declaration Of
the Heralds special that "Mr. and Mrs.
Mackay's past is as pure as the origin of
their fortune" is open to criticism from the
standpoint of the Mackays. Inasmuch as
there is little to their past except the origin
of their fortune, the certificate is rather
equivocal. 1t is rendered still more so by
some of the remarkably shady proceedings
which attended the requirement of the mil
lions of all the bonanza kings.

AN EMBLEMATIC BLOSSOM,

The suggestions for adopting a national
flower for this country have occasioned a
great deal of discussion throughout the
various parts of this country. An immense
variety of tastes has been displayed, ranging
from tie sunfower, which is naturally the
choice of that shining luminary, the New
York Sun, to Minneapolis xxx, which is
regarded by the great Northwest as about
the best -four that this country produces.
All these selections practically come to
nought in view OF the obvious fact that the
one flower that can typify the characters
tics of this nation completely is the modern
daisy. Some objections may be made to
this selection of a national flower from the
fact that one of the effete countries of the
older world has selected that flower as its
emblem. But the daisy selected by the
other nation is the modest, unobtrusive and
not particularly imposing blossorn which
has been known for centuries It seems
hardly necessary to remark that the daisy
which typifes the United States is not that
kind of daisy.
The blossom to which we refer is of the
vociferous and enthusiastic character known
to baseball fields and otherwise trumpeted
forth by our national slang. This is an en-
tirely distinct daisy from the modest variety
known to Scotland. The United States
should adopt its own daisy as a national
flower, because this country is daisy.

PUNCHING THE RREAnw1nNERs.

The industry of the Northwestern millers
in putting up the price of -four beyond all
relation to the price of wheat, is shown by
the fact that they have succeeded in ad-
vancing their asking prices for -four so
cents per barrel within the past two weeks.
An attempt has also been made to advance
wheat on the report of short stocks and un-
favorable weather, but notwithstanding all
efforts of that sort the price of wheat has
continued to decline. The millers' eombi-
nation, however, continues to screw up the
price of -four until it is now between 30
cents and 81 per barrel higher than is indi-
Gated by the relative price of wheat. Of
course, the inevitable result is that con-
sumers will buy less -four, and that the mill
ers who sell their products at reasonable
margin will hold the market until the
Northwestern crowd begin to see the advis-
ability of decent respect for the laws of
trade. In the meantime, the supply of
breadstuffs is artifcially enhanced in price,
and an attempt is made to impose an Excess
sive charge on the cost of life for the benefit
of the few, by the stereotyped trust method.

GRAMMAR AND AGRICULTURE,

We regret to observe that the students
of the Michigan Agricultural College
are not disposed to accept the broad
and liberal view of elastic grammat-
ical rules that appear from some in.
dications to be characteristic of the day.
They demonstrate this fact by petitioning the
Governor OF that State for the removal of
one of the professors of that institution be-
cause he habitually uses such terms as 81

OUR BELLIGFRENT POWERS.

The regulation corporate warfare has
broken out in Jersey City, between the Erie
and the Delaware, Leckawanna and West
ern Railroads, over the question which shall
occupy certain streets in that city, which
were originally dedicated to the use of the
public. 1t is instructive as we'll as wonder
full to observe how exactly these fights
duplicate each other and how invariably
they all terminate in the levying of petty
warfare by the corporations.
In this case, as usual, one railroad dis
covered that it wanted to occupy certain
streets with additional tracks, and obtained
permission Of the City Councils to do so.
OF course as soon as that permission was
granted the other railroad discovered that
it wanted the same street itself, and pro-
ceeded by the use of municipal influence to
obtain the same permission that the other
railroad had got. Consequently when one
Of them set its men to work laying the

piles of the fact that great men can fracture
the English grammar and still be great.
If this Michigan professor, therefore,
holds position in the instruction of agri-
cultural science that does not bear directly
on grammar, he may be still permitted to
hold his position. For instance, if it is his
duty to instruct the rising Michigan agri-
culturist on the scientific method of clean
ing out stables or killing hogs, his gram
matical eccentricities may be not only over
looked but even tolerated as in harmony
with the subject. Some of the best lights in
the agricultural world on the subject of
slaughtering hogs or shearlng sheep take
exactly the view of grammar that he does;
and the practical results in pork and wool
are not a whit injured thereby.
These considerations should induce the
Michigan students to take liberal view of
the grammatical question. The rules of
grammar may not be elastic. but their ap-
plication in practical life generally stretches
them good deal.

MIR, HuNTINGToE's PHILANTHROPY

The statement that King Leopold, of Bel
gium, in order to secure the construction of
a railroad from the West African coast to
the Congo region above Stanley Pool, has
obtained from Mr.. c. P. Huntington, of this
country, subscription to the stock of the
railway of $500, 600, creates a good deal of
interest. Mr.. Huntington is reported as
saying that he subscribed for that stock
purely out of philanthropic motives.
This may be the case, but an intimate
acquaintance with Mr.. Huntington's phil
anthropic principles in the matter of rail-
road investments, strengthens the opinion
that Mr.. Huntington is confident of getting
very good and material return for his
philanthropy, and not after many days.
The scoffers will be likely to incline to the
opinion that the opportunities in the con-
structions of the Congo Railroad. for rich
returns in the line of construction
contracts and stock watering operations,
will permit those who get upon the
ground floor of the enterprise to
make their $500, 600 worth of philanthropy
yield them about $50, ,OOO, 900; which is about
the proportion of profits on philanthropy
which Mr.. Huntington and his associates
considered the correct thing, in the matter
of that other philanthropic enterprise, the
Central Pacific Railroad.
The Congo Railroad will be a great benefit
to Central Africa; but we would not like to
guarantee the Congo traders and shippers
against the chances that they will have to
pay large-siSed dividends on Mr.. Hunting
toms philanthropy

AN EXAMPLE FOR OUR CITIZENS,

The supply of number of public drink
ing fountains to PiJtsourg by an eminent
and apparently philanthropic citizen of
another city, makes good the lack which has
long been prominent, but not especially
creditable to the Iron City. The fact that
the utter lack of public fountains here has
been remedied by extraneous aid might
stimulate our home capital to efforts in the
line Of supplying the other lack in which we
have undesirable prominence, namely, the
total lack of parks and boulevards. We have
abundance of practical sites for parks in the
range from the Point, over the hilltops to
the open spaces of the East End; but so far
the money for improving them has been
lacking. When New England capital
gives us fountains might not Pittsburg cap
ital give US parks, or at least a start for one
on condition that the city will undertake
the work of improving it.

An INGENIOUS DEVICE.
The New Signul to Warn Trains of Another
One in Advance.

The New Signal to Warn Trains of Another
One in Advance.
Special Telegram to The Dispatch.
NEW YORK, June 22-Frank Robinson,
Superintendent of Motive Power of the Maine
Central, at Bangor, has invented a railway
signal to warn one train when another has just
preceded it. Mr.. Robinson's signal, one of the
ordinary kind. is set by the passing of train,
the wheels operating upon strong spring
placed alongside the rail. and after given
number of minutes (the time can be regulated
to suit) it Is returned TO its original position by
force of gravity. This force is obtained by
means of two iron bulbs or globes, one of which
is filled with alcohol, connected by tubes and
unevenly balanced upon horizDntal shaft.
The action of the spring in setting the signal
brings the globe filed with alcohol to such a
position above the empty globe, which is the
smaller of the two, that the liquid begins to run
into the latter through small tube. the air
thus displaced passing to the upper globe by
means of a large tube. When the smaller globe
has received the greater part of the alcohol 1t
swings by its own weight and required momen-
tum around the axis to point above the larger
globe, thus turning the signals, when the alco-
hol quickly runs back to its original receptacle
through the large tube and the two spheres re-
sumo their original position.
