PRINCE AND PEOPLE.

The unpopularity of the German matri-
monial connections of the English royal
family, and the disgust which Queen Vic
toria's liking for Germans has excited
among her subjects, are no new things. The
anti-German feeling in Great Britain has
not been diminished by the lack of flial
respect shown by Emperor William to his
English mother. But it is only recently
that the anti.German sentiment has received
the Endorsement Of the Prince of Wales.
Why the Prince, who is very polite per-
bears no good will toward his German
nephew and the German royal family is not
clear, but he has certainly permitted such
an impression to be made upon the public
mind.
1t is said, though the authority is rather
doubtful, that he will not allow his children
to seek husbands or wives among the Ger
man royalties, and that he intends to drop
the name of Albert when the Queen dies,
and reign as Edward VII. The latter re-
port is not at all worthy of credit, and as to
the former it is not very easy to see whom
his children are to marry if the German
princes are barred. Children of reigning
monarchs are not plentiful in Europe.
The marriage of English royalties to sub
jects has not been popular with the latter
since the Marquis of LOrne committed matri-
monial suicide.
But there is considerable significance in the
Prince of Wales actions of late. He point
edly rebuked the English Government for its
discourtesy to France by taking his family
to the Paris Exposition. In his attitude at
home he has delighted to show an unusually
democratic spirit. 1t looks as if be were
preparing to play a new role in England
to be the darling Of the masses rather than
the classes. Perhaps his common sense, for
which he has always been noted, will prove
more valuable than rarer mental gifts might
have done.

A POLITICAL ENTFRPRIsE-

Further reports in regard to that summer
trip of the two Republican lights, Senators
Platt and Alger, to Alaska, reveal the fact
that the lease of the Alaska Commercial
Company of the seal fisheries is to expire
within the next year. Messrs. Platt and
Alger have doubtless duly pondered the
fact that numerous millions have been made
by the holding of that lease in the past, and
have perceived the conclusion that the pos
session of the lease for a term of years for
the future would be very nice reward for
their political services in the past campaign,
which, in their view, have not received the
recognition they deserve. Consequently, it
may be well for them to go and look over
the ground. There is no doubt that the seal
fishing monopoly is a very rich bit of
plunder, or that Platt and Alger would
willingly forego the glory of legislative
fame for the sake of the millions which they
could make out of that piece of spoil. But
other political millionaires are interested in
the ring; and with the probability of COM
petition for its possession, there is possi-
bility that the public interests will get a
little show.

SHEPARD CAN GO.

The appointment of Colonel Elliott F.
Shepard as Minister to Russia is objected to
by the esteemed New York World, on the
ground that this country cannot spare him.
The nation is on the brink of a new out
break of the Civil War, as is very we'll
known by those who have followed the
Colonels literary efforts; and, therefore, the
World thinks that the country should not
deprive itself of the presence of a fighting
man of so much pugnacity as Colonel Shep-
ard.
This might be cogent argument if it did
not ignore the weil-known fact that all the
pugnacity of the present juncture is stored
up within the breast of the good editor.
Other Americans had their appetites for the
pomp and circumstance of war fully salts
fed during the struggle of couple of
decades ago, in which Colonel Shepard was
prevented by circumstances from bearing
any part. This accounts for the gallant
Colonels surplus and superabundance of
bellicose spirit; and it also indicates that
with the Colonel safely housed at st. Pc
tersburg, the peace Of the country will be
secure until he returns.
In view of the fact that the nation can
keep out of war if it deports Shepard, we
think that it can safely afford to let the re-
ligious editor go to the Muscovite capital.
Besides, the missionary work which that
eminent diplomatist can find to do in the
way Of forbidding the Cars Sunday re-
views, is something that should not be neg

Philadelphia case is decided by local law
of Allegheny county alone.
As this apparent anomaly is corrected by
the fact that the general law of 1856 uses
the same language with regard to the quail
ication of wholesale dealers as is to be
found in the local law which the court
cited, it is less important than another ap-
parent measure in the logic of the ruling.
The Supreme Court lays down as neces-
sary qualification for a license of any sort,
American citizenship, temperate habits and
good moral character. Having done this,
in the course of this decision, it takes up
the Philadelphia case, in which a corpora
ton is the applicant for license, and after
severely and somewhat sarcastically criti-
cising the course Of the Philadelphia court
in inquiring into the moral character of a
corporation, decides that the corporation
must be granted its license.
In this case the court evidently oversets
its own argument by a false conclusion.
Starting out with the clear statement that
a good moral character is requisite, ii then
proceeds to ridicule the idea that corpora
tion can have any moral character at all.
The inevitable conclusion from these prem
ises would be that the corporation, being
destitute of the necessary requisite, by the
the very condition of its being, is debarred
from the ability to receive a license under
the law.
Of course, the mistake that the court
makes is in failing to perceive that while
corporation, as such, may not have q moral
character, the manner in which it transacts
its business can possess such a character,
and that for its course in the sale of liquor
the corporation is legitimately responsible
under the license law.

A LEGAL EXAMPLE,.

Mr.. Chauncey M. Depew, in his address
before the Yale Law School, placed consid-
cradle emphasis upon the fact that the
moving spirits in the Revolutionary move
ment that created this country were law
yers.. When we consider the prominence in
that struggle of men of the character and
calling of Washington, Gouverneur Morris,
Benjamin Franklin, and the host of "em-
battled farmers who fired the shot heard
round the world" the exact accuracy of the
assertion may be questioned. But ad-
mitting that the lawyers of the revolu-
tionary era bore very prominent part in
upholding the liberties of the colonies, it is
worth while to remember that there are
lawyers and lawyers.
Mr.. Depew was correct in holding up the
example of the lawyers of Revolutionary
fame for the emulation of the embryo
lawyers of this day. 1t is much better ex-
ample for them than the quality of some
lawyers who are prominent in the present
day. The lawyers who advise rich eorpor-
ations as to the devices by which they can
override public policy and nullify consti-
tutional obligations. are not of the class of
lawyers that would lead a weak and strug-
Cling colony in upholding its liberties
against powerful Government. There may
be more immediate profit in legal services to
enable the powers that be to disregard law and
right: but there is more fame in the public
services of the lawyers of Revolutionary
times, than in the fortunes that may be
gained by perverting the laws so as to make
corporate aggressions safe and easy.

PITTsBURG. WEDNESDAY, JULY 8. IS
A START AT THE PARKS.

The action of the Committee on Public
Works in recommending the ordinance for
the improvement Of the grounds about the
Herron's Hill reservoir, to be known as the
Herron's Hill Park, is a step toward the
establishment of park system that is pleas
ant to note.
Some acres of space are available at that
point, which is comparatively accessible to
large share of the working population, and
will be more so when the Central Traction
road is completed. In availability to
the class that most needs parks it is far
superior to the grounds at the Hiland reser-
voir, which can only be reached by those
who have horses and carriages. 1t COM
mands one of the most striking and expan-
sive views in Western Pennsylvania, and if
the grounds about the pumping house, on
the eastern side of the hill, are included in
the improvement, it will make very neat
and attractive addition to the permanent
open spaces of the city.
This is a gratifying start, but the work
should not be permitted to stop there.
Other open spaces are available on hill tops
close to the thickly built up city, and the
grand and expansive park which is to
decorate the Pittsburg of the future should
not be lost sight Of

NO USE TO ARGUE,

The learned license judges of Philadel-
phia and Allegheny counties, who were
overruled by the Supreme Court decision on
wholesale licenses, seem disposed to take it
rather hardly. Some indications have been
reported that Judge White was not well
pleased with it; but the delivsrance of the
Philadelphia judges given in our special
dispatches makes our own Judges reception
OF the reverse appear by comparison like the
most philosophical calmness. There does
not seem to be much use in recalcitration by
the lower courts. The Supreme Courts de-
cision may not be wholly above criticism,
but the philosophy of the old courtier who
declined to dispute with a monarch who had
an army of half a million men applies in
this case. 1t is of no use to argue adjudi-
Gated legal questions with the Supreme
Court

THE DRUGGISTS AND THE LAW.

The report which is developed in our local
columns that the druggists of the city are
preparing for new struggle over the ques-
ton of selling Sunday soda water and other
cooling beverages, indicates the danger that
the struggle may be waged on false basis.
1t is our opinion that during the heated
term the sale of mountaineering beverages
to the heated people on our streets should
be permitted. 1t is as much of a necessity
as the delivery of milk and bread on Sun
day; and in some cases, where people are
suffering from thirst and can get nothing
but the questionable hydrant water, it is
even more so. If the druggists will adopt a
policy for the purpose of testing the law
anew and carrying it to the highest court,
they will command the public support. If
defeated in the movement, an appeal for the
amendment of the law to permit the sale of
such beverages under such necessity as in
the present weather will be assented to
by the vast majority of liberal and intelli-
gent people.
But if the course is taken of nullifying
and blocking the law, as is intimated else
where, the people adopting that policy
place themselves in antagonism, not only to
the extreme view of the law. but to all en-
forcement of law whatever. They cannot
afford to take the course OF overriding the
administration of law. That is very big
undertaking tor any person; and in the case
of business interest dependent on the law
for protection, it is one in which success
would be more disastrous than defeat.
Properly construed. the law should not be
held to forbid the sale of soda water on Sum-
day. But the efforts of the druggists should
be in the direction of securing proper con-
struction and not of defying the law alto
gether.
