experiment with barrel like that which he
proposes to use himself last Sunday after
noon. The barrel was smashed to smither-
eens at the foot of the falls. The barrel
was Mr.. Grsham's property, and he had
perfect right to destroy it if he so willed.
Had he travelled inside the barrel and met
a very disagreeable death under the huge
cataract, his fate would have not moved us
very much, although we believe the law
ought to prevent nominally sane people
from insauely risking their lives.
But we do most heartily protest against
the mean cruelty of this man Graham. He
put Newfoundland dog in the barrel, and
of course it was dashed to pieces with the
fiimsy craft Afraid to venture his own life
in a crazy act from which he alone could
possibly benefit, he took the life of a poor
dumb brute There must be few men at
Niagara Falls who have hearts, but they
seem to be sleeping. They ought to pack
Mr. Graham and his crotchets off to Jail
without days delay. The Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals ought to
act if the people at Niagara Falls will not
do their duty. 1t is bad enough to allow moon
struck mountebanks to convert the falls
into circus arena for their cheap feats.
They must not be permitted to put dogs to
death in the most cruel fashion imaginable.

PITTsBURG, TUESDAY, JULY %, lsSs
HUNTING AMIRAGE.

Further details with regard to the settle
ment of the factional troubles among the
Virginia Republicans go to show that it
is not such clean sweep for Malone as
was gathered from the first reports. Brady,
Langsten and Wise, anti-Mahone men, are
to get administration pIums, while Malone
must be satisfied with administration sup
port for the Governorship and Senatorship.
1t certainly is more indicative of intelli-
gence and fairness on the part of Quay and
. Clarkson, as agents of the administration,
to make this division of the spoils than to
dump them all into the Malone grab-bag.
But the fact that the scheme includes the
election of Malone to the Governorship and
Senatorship by the people and Legislature
of Virginia indicates that even our astute
Matthew Stanley is led away by hope
which has long been the ignis Jutuus of Re-
publican administrations.
In view of the jeers which have been ex-
pended on the Democratic chairman as q
rainbow chaser" would it not be we'll for
the Republican leaders to suppress such
jests until they have ceased to pursue that
alluring but fugacious mirage of Virginia
as Republican State?

ATEA-POT TEMPEST.

The concurrence of Select Council yester-
day in the ordinance for the widening OF
Diamond street disposes of the matter SO far
as the city is concerned. If any grievance
grow out of it, the. Court must settle such.
But if the parties in interest act fairly all
round there will be no grievance. That it
will pay to act unfairly is by no means
clear. The facts about the ordinance are
simple enough. They were made very plain
by communication signed Property
Holder" in yesterdays DISPATCH. Virtu-
ally they amount to this, viz, that property
on Diamond alley which never brought over
$500 to $500 per foot became suddenly sal
able in the market at 81, 200 per foot
so soon as the widening was spoken
of, and will be held probably at
s., 800 to 81, 900 per foot when the widening
is done. The Viewers estimate of damages
runs somewhere from S4Oo 70 $500 per foot.
1t will be seen that the abutting property
can well afford to pay for the widening and
still have handsome surplus of value at
the new prices. The city will also gain in
the increased value of the property for tax
able purposes, not so much as Property
Holder" claims, but still largely. As
sessments lately were an average of prob
ably not over 5000 to $500 per foot, if
so much. If they increase to $4,000
per foot, as is not unlikely in the event of
the widening, they will bring an additional
$40, 900 per year or SO to the city treasury in
taxes. So evident is the further consider
otion that a u;da tborouobfara in r,1ooa of q
narrow alley, will be public convenience,
that everybody admits it without argument.
All now remaining to be guarded against
is any attempt on the part of the persons
who have got the widening through to shift
the paying of damages to the city. Through
their agents, they disclaim any such pur-
pose. But even if they were to try, they
should not be successful. The Viewers have
declared their intention of assessing the
cost upon the property on the street which
is so enormo usly benefited, and the Courts
will doubtless sustain that view. Moreover,
it is not sure that any contest will be made;
and if the benefits are to exceed the dam
ages In the volume which those interested
advertise, any attempt at evasion by them
would be in exceeding bad grace.
As for paying fair price for the prop
erty taken to widen the street, that is the
one point on which there is least liable to- be
injustice. The Viewers will have the mar
ket to 60 by; and if the Viewers do not give
enough the Courts stand ready to rectify
errors aud make fair valuation in this,
just as in any other such case.
So it will be seen that there is precious
little in the teapot tempest which has
been brewing with a froth of adjectives over
the ordinance, unless the abuttors who
petitioned for and urged the improvement
have a deep and dark design to saddle the
cost on the city; which would be SO ex-
tremely fresh, considering their profits and
their protestations, and so hopeless, as
against the pledge of the Viewers and the
sense of justice in the Courts, that on the
whole We do not think such an unhand-
some trick will be attempted.

WE DON'T WANT 1T.

1t may be uncertain how much founda-
tion there is for the report that President
Harrison sternly suppressed a project of
Secretary Blaine's for the annexation of
Hayti, but there is no doubt that the posi-
tion credited to the President by that report
is exactly the correct one. Whatever ac-
QUESTIONS may be desirable for the United
States in the way of new territory, there is
one thing which we do not want, and that is
the addition to our population of people
whose theory of political agitation is to cut
the throats of the entire membership of the
opposite party.
Recent events in Hayti should be sufi.
cient to convince any thinking Americans
that the absorption of this population to our
citizenship would be something which we
could not afford to accept as gift with the
Dominican Islands thrown in. We are in
no such need of territory that we must ac-
cept with it a half-civilized and ignorant
population, notoriOusly ready to resort to
civil war, and possessed of a record which
warrants serious doubts of its capacity for
self-government. The United States does
not want any fresh territory at such price.
If Secretary Blaine had been urging such a
project, he has committed worse blunder
than he did in connection with the Peruvian
guano fields

THE INFLUENCE AGAINST CANALS.

A very striking example of the influences
which have led to the abandonment of canal
transportation for heavy freights was fur
nished last week in connection with the
Chesapeake and Ohio canal. A committee
from Williamsport, Nd, visited the man.
ayers Of the canal, urging the repair and
reopening of an abandoned section of the
canal between Williamsport and Cumber-
land. The managers, however, we're of
opinion that this could not be done, as it
would cost S50,0 ,000, which could only be
raised by the sale of bonds that have de-
preciated to 10 cents on the dollar. To this
the committee responded by offering to
make the repairs for S25, 900 and to look to
future receipts for reimbursement, if allowed
to operate it themselves. But this was also
refused on the ground that the company
had no power to turn over the canal to out
side parties.
The true motive back Of these excuses is

THESE ARE OUR FAILURES.

The path of the United States Govern
ment to naval greatness does not seem to
be altogether strewn with roses. To bal
ance the high laudstions of the Baltimore,
as a frstclass fighting vessel, comes the
fact that the new gunboat Petrol, which has
just had q trial trip. is a comparative
failure, having shown only Is knots
as her top rate Of speed, while vessels of the
same class are being built abroad that make
from 20 to 25 knots under similar circum-
stances.
The disappointment over the failure of a
vessel or two like the Petrol and the
Charleston need not discourage our nation
in the work of building a navy. We
can afford q few failures. But it
seems necessary to warn the naval construct
ors and their friends who report the trial
trips, that 1t will not do to lie about them.
Glowing reports of the trial trip of the
Charleston, inspired, possibly by the
champagne on board the vessel, were sent
East only to have it discovered in due
course of time that the be-puffed ship was q
failure, at least till alterations were made.
A little more discretion was used with re-
gard to the Petrel's trial trip, but it took
several days to let the fact out that she is q
very slow coach. Since the truth is bound
to come out sooner or later, why not tell 1t
at once, and shame the constructors of slow
vessels?

TIE CAPACITY OF SENATORS.
Good Story That Was Told by the Late
Simon Cameron.

Simon Cnmeron.
From the New York Tribune.1
Early in the year 1877 and Just before his
resignation Of his seat in the Senate, General
Simon Cameron was asked by an intimate
friend to give an opinion respecting the COM
parative ability shown by the average" Sena-
tor at the time of his first election and that
shown by his colleagues of the later date.
"Well,"replied Mr.. Cameron, tin my opinion,
the average standing and capacity of Senators
now are much higher than found when first
entered Congress. Our population has vastly
increased; our business relations. both between
ourselves and with foreign countries, have
widened almost beyond belief; new questions,
both social, political and national, of magni-
tude hitherto undreamed of, are constantly
arising; in fact, Senator Of the present day.
VINO worthily fills his chair, must be many
sided man, and legislator of marked ability.
And mere the old gentleman smiled, with
roguish twinkle in his eye as he proceeded:
1T dldn't take very much of man TO NIL
that particular bill when was first elected to
the United States Senate, and your inquiry re-
calls TO my mind the views expressed upon that
very same subject by Senator Blank many
years ago. Coming up to me one afternoon
after somewhat heated debate he remarked:
ell, Cameron, when / first came here. TO
Washington, and was sworn in. gazed wonder
1ngly around upon our magnificent surround
fngs, and noticed all about me men who bore
noble names and of national celebrity. whe re-
upon 1 modestly asked myself How in the
After L had filed my chair, however, for
several months, all that sort of thing seemed
changed to me, the gilt was worn off the ginger
bread, so that placidly surveyed the gang

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
SYRACUSE. N Y, July 22-Hiram Hoyt, a
young man whose home is in Onondaga Valley,
has been working for several weeks for Milo
Shattuck, farmer on the road between James
vile and Pompey Hill. Shattuck has q good
looking daughter, Mamie, to whom Hoyt is
said to have made advances Hoyt pretended
to be sick on Saturday morning. and Mr.. and
Mrs. Shattuck were coming to Syracuse in the

in with him, and when they came to a secluded
spot Hoyt asked her to marry him. threatening
to shoot her if she did not consent Hoyt then
proposed to go to Manlius and get married. The
ing short time in Manlius, Hoyt concluded TO

OUR HELP FROM OUTSIDE.

The DISPATCH always appreciates its
esteemed local cotemporaries according to
their varying deserts, but never more than
when they contribute generously of their
time and energies to the correction of any
error Of type or sense, real or imaginary, bi G
or little, trifing or important, which they
find in their constant evidently careful scan
ming of these columns.
1t is by such careful supervision and
prompt attention by our neighbors, next to
ourselves, that we are enabled to printa paper
from day to day which, while containing such
vast quantity of news on all subjects from
far and near, is habitually so accurate that
q mistake on any point becomes at, once q
subject for comment and surprise.
How much our esteemed contemporaries
stimulate us to the watchfulness which Sc
cures this result, we hesitate to say, but it
is highly gratifying that they 50 fully rec
ognIze how important it is that The DIS
PATCH shall always be right. That is cor
rectly esteemed the first of all considera-
tions. If in their zeal 10 promote this object
they sometimes blunder themselves,
correct" most generally things in THE
DISPATCH which are already right, and
volunteer on their own part as right sugges-
tions which are absurdly wrong, even that
is no matter. Motive, not capacity, is
to be considered.
THE DISPATCH is so busy with time and
space that it has no room for separate
acknowledgements to its esteemed cotempo-
raries, but it bows its thanks to one and all
just the same We hope they will continue
giving us the benefit of their serviceable
talents in making this paper as nearly per-
feet as it is possible for a newspaper to be.
That is the standard aimed at

An Article in Russell Harrison's Paper
Aroases the ConEressman's Ire.
WASHINGTON, July 22-In dispatch from
Mammoth Hot Springs, Wyo., to his private
secretary here. Congressman s. s. Cox says he
10 about to leave for Helena, Mont, in accord
ance with his plans, to call on some relatives
there, but that he is in doubt about stopping at
Helena, because Russell Harrison's paper has
made bitter attack upon him. 1t is evidently
because Mr.. Cox made the Fourth of July
Grafton at Huron, OAK, that Harrison's paper
has attacked him. 1t was an entirely nou-par-
tisan GRAFTON and delivered at the invitation and
to the evident satisfaction of the people of
Dakota, irrespective of party, and Mr.. Cox
feels so much chagrined at the unjustifable
attack made upon him by President Harrison's
sons paper that he apparently contemplates
denying himself the visit which he had in
tended and which would have been purely of q
personal and domestic nature.
Considering what he has done in Congress
FOR all the Territories, and the fact that for
years he has been an intimate personal friend
of President Harrison, Mr.. Cox feels keenly
aggrieved for the uncalled-for attack made by
young Harrison's paper. Mr.. Cox carefully
arranged his trip SO as to avoid any possible
contact with the Constitutional Convention or
with the internal politics of Montana.

well known. Powerful railroad influences
are interested in the abandonment of the
canal, and their opposition to its restoration
is what convinces the managers of the canal
that their duty to the company requires
them to let the canal 60 to ruin rather than
accept outside aid in repairing it. The
same influences were powerful in securing
the abandonment of the Western Pennsyl-
vania canals; and will be active in oppos-
ing the Ohio and Lake Erie canal project
But should not the activity of railroad
influences in opposition to the cauais be a
very strong argument to show the public
interest in the revival and improvement of
canals for heavy freights?
