IT would be little more to the point if the republican organs in their com ments on the Tanner case would explain who, if not President Harrison himself is responsible for the corporars doings. Tanner simply followed the president instructions. His offense, like Dudley $ in the blocks of five business, was in getting found out. Hs-'rison is too respectable" to bes- hss own ssas.

Most of the republican papers now ad- init that the pension bureau was too big a place for Tanner. That's what the democratic press has been telling them ever since he was appointed. And now the president has emphasized the judg- ment of the democratic press. It takes good deal to bring republican organs around to the truth.

PRIVATE DAI FELL is engaged these days in the pleasant occupation of eat ing crow. The private said on the day Tanner was fired: Remove Corporal Tanner Oh, guess not It would cost the republicans every northern state and both houses of congress. Woe be to the republicans if they down Tanner for, by the God that rules and reigns, if they touch a hair of his head we will scalp every man of them" As the privates scalping knife is rather dull he will find it more convenient to keep off the war path. He'll chew carrion.

THE ring that contro's the beef supply

THE ring that contro's the beef supply
 7, the west explains the discrepancy between the high prices of beef and the low prices of cattle by the claim that the cost of meats to the consumer has decreased on all but the choice cuts, and these command big prices because the demand for that quality has increased. In other words, more people eat better meat and are willing to pay for it. And it may be remarked that while they are willing to pay for it the beef ring may

A RIVAL FOR FIFTH AVE.
That is What the Opponents of Only Par.
Iial Widening of Diamond Street Want
How They Could Get II.

That is What the Opponents of Only Par.
Iial Widening of Diamond Street Want
How They Could Get 1t.
While the proposition to open Diamond
alley SO as to make grand street of it seems
to meet with considerable favor, not only on
the street. but elsewhere, the other one, to
open it to a width of 40 feet from Diamond
square to Wood street. is being fought with a
vim by most of the property owners in the
square, that commands admiration even from
their opponents.
The opposers are led by Black & Baird, the
real estate agents. and the members of the firm
say that 75 per cent of the owners will fight it
until they 90 down in the last ditch. 1t is
claimed by these remonstrants that they are
not opposed to widening if it Is to the extent Of
so feet, and all the way from Liberty
avenue at the head of Fifth street to
Smithfleld street and with a connection that
will bring them into direct communication
with Forbes street. They say there would be
no necessity to widen Diamond street above
Smithfield; that all needed there is repaving,
as the street above Smithfield would not be
wanted for commercial purposes; but they say
that 40 feet width from Market square to
Wood street would be worthless, an expense
without attendant advantage.
Mr.. Black says that property on First, Sec
ond and Third avenues is worth no more than
it was so years ago. simply because those streets
are not wide enough to be used for stores.
Fourth avenue, he says, being devoted to f1nan-
cial pursuits, gets along well enough because a
100000 transaction may be performed by two
people without wagons or carriages, while, were
it retail street, it would require the opera
tions of 10000 people to effect the same amount
of business, and not only wide street, but
wide sidewalks would be necessary.
At present the Brooks high license law has
destroyed the value of Diamond alley to a
great extent. Mr.. Black also states that
whereas now IS per cent of the property in in
terest opposes the proposed project, 95 per cent
would support one having for its object the
street so feet wide from Fifth to Smithfeld
and connection with Forbes at the eastern
end of Diamond street. This, he SAYS would
give a needed connection between the East End
and the lower part of Allegheny, when the new
bridge is built.
There seemed to be an indisposition to talk
among councilmen. Mr.. Carnahan shouldered
the inquirer onto K Q. Bigham, Esq, and Mr..
Bigham passed him over to Black & Baird.

BUSY SESSIONS.

Both Branches of Council Indorse Mr.. Ford
for Postmaster.
Both branches of Council met yesterday.
In Select Council fattering resolution
was yesterday offered and adopted, recon-
mending H. P. Ford for the postmastership
of Pittsburg. A copy of the resolution will be
sent to the President. Common Council con-
CURED in the Endorsement.
The Highway Committee presented minor
ordinances for opening streets and sewers, some
of which were passed and others postponed.
The ordinance regulating balls and masquer-
ades was passed. The ordinance granting the
right to the Junction road to erect a building on
Spring alley was also passed; but Lew Emery,
Jr., and W. G.. Caldwell were denied the priyi-
lege of putting down and operating switch on
the east side of West street to their private
property
The health and funeral ordinances lacked
the constitutional majorities and died natural
deaths. The attempt to repeal the ordinance
granting natural gas companies the right to lay
pipes in streets, lanes, etc., met with failure.
The lower end of the sewer on Negley street
was ordered to be built by Select Council and
similar action for sewers in Bayard, Neville
and other streets was taken. The report of the
Board of Awards was approved. except the
amount for gas for the garbage furnace. 1t
was thought the price, So, 900. was too much.

DANGEROUS TO YAWN.
A Young Woman's Jaw Dislocated BY the
Habit-The Doctors Embarrassment
Gguufn0 NTisnloced Another JaW.

A Young Woman's Jaw Dislocafed by the
Habit-The Doctors Embarrassment
Singing Misplaced Another Jaw.
1t was reported that well-known Law
renceville physician had been called this
week to treat woman whose jaw had been
dislocated by asyawn. A DISPATCH re-
porter called. upon the physician and asked
about the truth of the report. He denied
that he had attended any recent case Oh tnls
kind, but related two circumstances which ne
knew of his own personal knowledge.
A young doctor living in one of the suburban
towns was escorting lady friend home from
the Pittsburg Opera House a few years ago.
She yawned desperately as the train got nearer
home. He laughingly warned her 1t was dan
gerous, but in little while the conversation
was apparently forgotten, and the lady yawned
deeper than before. There was a crack IKE
something breaking, and 10! and behold sne
could not close her mouth, while her face as
sumed an expression of the most intense pam.
The doctors experience told him at once pis
friend had dislocated her jaw. To save her
raised his hand and struck her chin ringing
blow. The skillful way he did it put the Jaw In
place at once, but there was sensation! Two
or three people sprang to their feet, thinking
man was assaulting his wife. She, with tears
in her eyes simply gazed at her surgical escort
He quietly explained in a few words to her,
and she understood. But that doctor was a
martyr for his fair companions sake the bal
ance of the trip. He could not explain matters
to the curious and excited spectators with
out making the young lady an object of ridi-
cule. So he discreetly kept silent. More than
one person said he was brute for striking a
woman.
The other case was that of a young lady who
was an accomplished vocalist. Twice her Jaw
became dislocated in her attempt to carry her
voice unbroken through high and difficult
part of operatic music.
In every instance where medical journals and
authorities record these cases they are about
women.

N0TMUCH ASTRIKE
Some Painters Are Working, While
Others Are Locked Out.
A GRADE SYSTEM NOT IN EFFECT.
A Convention Of Railroad Coal Miners on
Friday Next.
A MEETING OF THE OPERATORS TO-DAY

The journeymen painters strike, or lock-
out, whichever it may be called, took place
yesterday morning in some Of the shops in
this city. Among those who are out are the
men employed at L. E. Haid's, on Liberty
street; W. R. Stoughton, of Fourth avenue,
and R. G. Miller, of Third avenue. The
most trouble is at Haid's, where it is sup
posed the employer let his men strike under
a Misrepresentation that the other master
painters would do the same. The latter,
however, did not do so.
A delegation of painters called at The
DISPATCH Office yesterday and said there
had really been no strike at all. The only
trouble they had was lockout at L. E.
Haid's where the latter had asked them to
work the extra hour on Saturdays. The
men refused and would not go to work yes
terday morning.
THE JoURNEYMEN' SIDE OF IT.
The members of the delegation said that
by the grading system the public would
suffer. The employers would keep the poor
mechanics the year round, on account Of being
able to get them for 20 cents per hour. These
men, they claim, have not learned their trade
properly but they can do the work well enough
for the money.
The tr ouble, they claimed. is in regard to the
extra hour on Saturday. The master painters
now want them to work hours on Saturday at
the rate of 331z cents per hour. Heretofore
they have been working hours at the rate of
IS for the day,
The speaker of the party said that each
spring brings any number of painters into the
city from the, country farms. Anybody that
can twist his wrist can handle paint brush.
and these 'daubers" are willing to work fot 20
cents per hour.
The scheme proposed now is to pay uniform
rate of wages to those who could furnish GER
tificates of apprenticeship. Then the good
mechanics would not be afraid of being
crowded out by the cheap men. The former
say they cannot secure more than or months
work in year. and can hardly earn enough in
a year to keep them.
VERY SMALL PROPORTION.
The journeymen claim that there were only
36 master painters out of the 400 in both cities
that wanted to change the present system.
The men at ]. 8. B. Mercer's shop were all
working yesterday. Mr.. Mercer is the Presi-
dent of the Master Painters Association, but
this did not prevent him from breaking the
agreement. He said he had so much work on
hand that it was absolutely necessary to OBJ
viate a shutdown. The same reason was given
by John Stulen, Jr., the frescoer. His men
were all working on the old system.
G. g. O'Brien had only three men working
yesterday; but this was on account of no work.
In a few days he will have SO much that he
cannot afford to fight the matter with his en-
ployes
The strike will not have much effect on the
coming seasons building, as it will probably be
settled by each individual employer within the
next few days.

MILK DEALERS DIFFER.
They Met Last Night but Failed to Come to
an Understanding rs 10 the Price Of
Milk for the Coming Season.

They Met Last Night but Failed to Come to
an Understanding rs 10 the Price of
Milk for the Coming Season.
The milk dealers of Pittsburg and ALE
gheny had a great time last night at the
Keystone Hotel on Fourth. avenue while at
tempting to effect an organization for the pro-
lection of their interests
The Milk Producers Association decided to
sell the milk to the:dealers at II cents per gal
Ion in the summer and Is cents per gallon dur
ing the winter. At conference which they
held with committee of the dealers last week,
proposition was made to them to organize
themselves as well and fix a scale of prices at
which the milk should be supplied to the con-
sumers.
There was so much diversity of opinion
among the dealers last night that perfect
organization is improbable.
"These farmers want too much" some of
them said.
sThe price of milk is high enough already
and do not see why it should be any higher"
remarked Mr.. Hemingway. 1T is only making
the poor man pay more to enrich the farmers,
who are already making fortunes out of their
product"
This gentleman raised his voice very strongly
in opposition to the trust, but there were others
who thought different and they held that an
organization of the dealers was the only way to
establish the milk trade on substantial basis.
However, compromise was at last effected
in the shape of the following resolution:
THAT the dealers of milk in Pittsburg and
Allegheny go into temporary organization and
appoint committee of nine to meet the ship
pers OH March 26 and tell them to postpone
their action regarding the fixing of price for
milk until next October, when we will meet
them again, and if possible make an agreement
for the winter season."
This resolution was unanimously adopted,
and Mr.. William Dilworth, of Allegheny, who
acted as Chairman, appointed the follow
ing named gentlemen on the COMMITTEES:
Messrs. P. Diehl. R. Collenwahn, NJ. Winter
halleT, 81. Erich. William Zeiger, F. McClaren,
w. Wallis, A. Hammel and Paul ID. Martin.
There were about so men present.

stories-"Blue Jackets Under the Stars

Early Life of Abraham Lincoln and a
vast number of original sketches, to say
nothing of the Royal Family of Russia and
the ''Little Peoples" department. 1t was
especially interesting to school children,
who subscribe for it by the thousands, by
reason of the fact they are just now stndy-

PIPE MEN WAKING UP,

Somebody Has Been Cutting Prices In Earn.
est, Says One Of Them.
There is something up in the camps Of the
wrought iron pipe manufacturers. A. M.
Byers, Campbell Heron, Harry Holdane
and Captain Murdoch went to New York
last night to attend an important meeting to-
day. During periods of depression the air is
always full of talk about trusts, and the pipe
men admit that something will have to be
done to bolster up prices. The business has
gotten down to hard pan.
Said one of the manufacturers last night:
81 never saw the trade so dull, and yet there
never was a time when there were more in
Quiries. With all due respect to Mr.. Joshua
B. Rhoades, overproduction is not responsible
for the low prices. l am convinced that some
body has been guilty of cutting the rates, and
it will have to be stopped"
Captain Murdock said: ri think we have
finally reached the trough of the wave, and we
will soon be on the crest again. The pipe in
dustry is one of the sufferers from the general
iron and steel depression.
