was still bruised and discolored and he

charge of the stables in the afternoon,

the stalls of his platoon. Nolan was

and carefully and critically examined
his knees, feeling down to the fetlocks
with searching fingers for the faintest
symptom Of knot or swelling in the ten
dons that had played their part so
thoroughly in the drama of Monday.
Satisfied, apparently, he rose and be-
slowed few hearty pats on the glossy
neck and shoulder. and then was sur
prised to find the stable sergeant stand
ing close beside him and regarding both
him and horse with an expression that
arrested Perry's attention at once.

A MARKED CONTRAST.

A remarkable illustration of the differ
ence between the delays of justice under
certain circumstances and its promptitude
under others was furnished BY the sentence
of man by the name of Templeman in
New York last week, for concocting story
which impugned the official honesty of the
District Attorney of New York and the
indicted on May 81, and would have been
tried on May %. if the press had not asked
what was the need of such hurry. Public
opinion having called halt he was tried on
June 8 and sentenced on June 13, to three
years and nine months imprisonment at
Sing Sing.
Such promptness in the action of justice
would be encouraging, if it were not for
some remarkable contrasts that it provokes.
For instance in the same courts and under
the same officers Ct justice the Doodle trials
have been dangling along for nearly four
years; Ives and Staynor have been under
Indictment for the better part of year
without any movement toward trying them;
and jay Gould and Russell Sage were per-
mitted to secure prompter disposition of
case against them, by sending their counsel
into the grand jury room to argue against
indictment
Is it the case that New York justice is
swift and severe when the officers of the
law are aggrieved and somnolent when only
the interests OF the people are attacked?

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PITTsBURG, MONDAY, JUNE II, 1889.
THE PROJECT REVIVED.

From the Philadelphia special published
in our telegrephic columns, it appears
that the project of a new competing line
from the western terminus of the Reading
road to PIttsburg will not down. The
scheme as now outlined comprises an alli-
ance between Western Maryland and Read
ing corporations to open up the Cumberland
Valley district and thence extend their line
TO Pittsburg.
This is the South Penn in a new form. 1t
aims at the same purpose, runs through the
same section, if not over the same route,
and comprises the Reading as the important
Eastern link, with the addition of the West
ern Maryland, giving the new project an
outlet to Baltimore. The revival of the
project. under new auspices, after the old
one has been strangled, proves, as The
DISPATCH has always contended, that it
contains the basis of a sound enterprise If
the new project avoids the vice of stock
watering and steers clear of the entangling
alliance of the Vanderbilts, it has every
element Of success.
The vitality of the project should sug-
gest to the Pennsylvania Railroad that the
costly railway wars and the notifications
of the Constitution which it has committed
to maintain its monopoly of Pennsylvania
traffic were thrown away, and should now
be abandoned,

TOO MUCH COMMITTEE.

The speck of war which is arising be-
tween the committees respectively presided
over by Senator Cullom, of Illinois, and
Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, illustrates
one of the difficulties that is likely to arise
between the jurisdiction of Senate junket-
tee was authorized to investigate therelation
Of the Canadian railroads to American
commerce, and Senator Hoar's committee
was authorized to investigate the CONNER
cial relations of the United States with
Canada. 1t was evident at the start that
these two subjects we're likely to overlap each
other. Senator Cullom claims that Senator
Hoar agreed that he would not interfere
with the subject where it touched upon the
railroad side of the case. Yet Senator Hoar's
committee has been taking testimony upon
the railroad question in St. Paul, and Sena-
tor Cullom is consequently aggrieved.
The fact is that the supply of subjects for
Senatorial investigation, which can keep
the committees travelling around the coun-
try during the summer, was not equal to the
demand. The subject in this case was not
sufficient for one able-bodied committee,
and the division of it among two rendered it
inevitable that they should cross each other
Senator Cullom should accept this natural
result of too little subject and too much
committee with the philosophical placidity
that the occasion demands.

THE SECOND STAGE.

The consultations with regard to the re-
lief work at Johnstown, yesterday, show
that work to be progressing from the first
stage of relieving the inhabitants of the
destroyed town from the dangers of want
and disease to the second stage of aiding
them to restore their buried city. The first
work was imperative and was discharged
promptly by the Pittsburg organiza-
ton. The second is no less charitable. and
will be materially aided by the generous
contributions of houses from other cities.
The furnishing of a hundred temporary
dwellings for the homeless is anindication of
the way the relief work is tending; and that
is backed up by the promise of temporary
store buildings to be furnished those who
may wish to go into business, With such
aids as this the inhabitants of Johnstown
can proceed more at their leisure to recon-
struct their town in substantial and cred
liable manner 1t is good indication that
this final work will be done we'll and wisely,
that it is already determined to rebuild the
better part of the city on the higher ground
as much as possible.
The most creditable feature of the Johns
town work has been the promptness and gen.
erosity of the relief That bids fair to be
eeualed by the good Judgment displayed in
its application.

PICKLES,

The habit of eating pickles does not keep
exact pace with the mortality lists. That is to
say the number of persons who eat pickles
and of people who die, NAV not be precisely
identical; but the difference between them
is not anything to speak of. The method of
killing men by electricity has not been
properly tested, while the deadly qualities
of the pickle are only too we'll known. We
are surprised that New York State when it
started In to abolish the ancient method of
hanging man with hempen rope did not
prefer pickles to electricity.
Some of our contemporaries have affected
to wonder why Chicago faith-healer re-
fused to treat longer a man who had dyspep-
sia because he would keep on eating pickles.
TO us the faith-healer seems to have pos
sessed more sense than most of her sisters
have. If her patient had merely had an
appetite for chewing carpet tacks or swal-
lowing linoleum which he would not
give up, the faith-healer might have
been blamed for refusing to treat
him. But she knew doubtless that not even
the strongest faith could wrestle with the
india-rubber pickle. The pickle is not open
to persuasion, neither have the gastric juices
the slightest effect upon it if it gets its back
up, as it were, and starts in to make
Viper's nest of a mans stomach.
The faith-healer perhaps had in her bread
and butter days absorbed pickle or two,
and the cicatrices upon her wounded spirit
reminded her that neither faith nor physic
could avail against the petrifaction soaked
in vinegar. So with honesty and wisdom
she told the dyspeptic to abandon pickles
or leave her door. That he stuck to pickles
and died subsequently, in short order, shows
first that he was an obstinate fool, and
secondly that Chicago has faith-healer

THE USUAL PRoBLFM.

1t is rather interesting to find that the re-
port of the National Furniture Manufac-
turers' Association states that the factory
owners realized only three per cent profit
last year on a hundred million dollars
worth Of stock. This sounds rather unpros-
porous; but when we reflect that this profit
may be turned over several times in year,
1t is quite possible that three per cent mar
gin on stock may yield to II per cent
profit on capital actually invested. As the
report also makes an earnest appeal for the
solution of the problem how to deal with
fraudulent debtors, it is a fair inference
that this small profit was caused by bad
debts. In that case, we are very glad to
give our furniture friends the solution of
their troublesome problem. The only way
to deal with fraudulent debtors is to make
them pay cash for their goods.

sERYIA,s DIVORCE RECORD.

AS all the world knows it is easy enough
to get a divorce in America-too easy great
many of US think-but 1t is not so easy to
have decree of divorce annulled without
the consent of both parties. In the latter
respect the two-cent kingdom of Servia un-
doubtedly has the advantage of the United
States 1t seems to be no difficult matter to
secure divorce, and still less difficult to
procure the annulment of decree of di-
vorce in the kingdom which was ruled by a
dissipated imbecile named Milan. An il
lustrious example of the workings of the di-
vorce machine in Servia has just been fur
nished by the spouse of that country's
unworthy monarch, Queen Natalie.
1t will be remembered that King Milan
procured divorce from his wife last win
ter Queen Natalie has now had this de-
cree set aside; and the fair but frail Queen
having been summarily divorced in the first
place is now undivorced with equal
promptitude. What the next act in
this domestic drama will be nobody
knows. Obviously the logical step for King
Milan to take is to have the divorce re-
affirmed by his subservient church, if
he RECEIVERS power once more. Per-
haps he may make compromise with his
wife, and obtain a new divorce. Natalie
wants power and money, and not worthless
scamp like Milan for husband.
Another thing worth noting in the latest
crisis in Servian affairs is that Queen Nat
allie returns to rule the domestic roost at
Belgrade with the mighty arm of Russia be-
hind her, All through her troubles Natalie
has received the Cars support, and in the
audacious mood which at present controls
the ruler OF Russia he is not taking any
pains to conceal his intention to take hand
in Servian politics. Natalie's return in
triumph bodies evil for the peace of Europe.

PHILLIPsBURG, June l6 = If anything

Johnstown for the past ten days it could be
found at the depot in this place during the last
two days on the arrival of every train bringing
workmen from that place.
On the announcement IL days ago that work
men were needed at Johnstown from $50 to 200
miners and Others left here, taking with them
nothing but what they had on their backs, and
many of them eoatless. Now they are return
ing with two and three suits of clothing each,
and carrying bundles containing Women's and
children's wearing apparel, beside other arti.
cles.
1t is related of two men that they were SO
weighted down with bundles of clothing that
they were compelled to secure a wagon to haul
their goods from the station to their homes

sufferers by the flood.

If all who went to Johnstown to work Jared
as well as many from this vicinity, who were
compelled to return after the change went into
effect last Wednesday, the wonder is that the
the relief supply was not wholly exhausted.
Fifteen large boxes of goods were sent from
this place on Thursday for the flood sufferers
these, several hundred dollars in money will
also be sent in the same direction. Several
boxes of clothing, ETC., were sent to Johnstown
last week.

DEATH OF A HERMIT,
An Educated But Eccentric Character Who
Lived the Life of RecIuse.

Lived the Lille oil q hecIuse.
DENNIsoN, TEX, June 16.-An eccentric
character named Joseph Grove died southeast
of the city the other night Grove has led the
life of recluse for period of over 40 years.
He was Virginian by birth, and was educated
at Union College, New York. After graduating
he engaged in the practice of law at Richmond,
Va. Being disappointed in love he left his
home and lived in the Businesses of the Cum
berland range of mountains until the War of
the Rebellion broke out, when he enliste in
Kemper's command of the Army of Northern
Virginia. After the surrender Grove returned
to the mountains, living in rude log cabin,
the nearest neighbor being Is miles distant.
Once a year he returned to civilized life and
received yearly remittance Of several hun
dred dollars from sister whose residence was
at Petersburg. Va
While in the mountains he divided his time
between hunting and reading. He translated
portion of the Iliad and committed to memory
copious extracts from the works of Shakespeare
and Milton Grove came to Texas several
always lived isolated, putting up little shanty
of boards to protect him from the rigor of the
weather. He had great aversion TO the oppo-
site sex, and 1t was rarely that he noticed or
spoke to a woman. He would receive men in
the most cordial manner, and his requirements
made him always companions Bile to intelligent
callers. When he saw woman coming toward
his ,habiration he would either bar the door or
rush rapidly to the brush or woods. The de-
ceased was about 60 years OF age, and died ap-
parently with heart disease. Since he came to
Texas his sister died and the remittance was
cut of, and he was obliged to perform manual
labor

Bulkley, of Connecticut, in vetoing the
ballot reform bill, the New York Tribune
remarks that it would not insult the Cow
ernor "by the suspicion that he has acted
under the stress of the ignoble motives
which controlled Governor Hill" OF course
not. Governor Bulkley is of the Tribune's
own party; and it is against the constitution
of party organs to attribute ignoble motives
to any but the members of the opposite
party, even when the act and motives are
palpably the same on both sides.

Speculative Value.

To the Editor Of The Dispatch;
have read with pleasure your editorials, as
well as the communications lately published in
THE DISPATCH, in reference to single tax.
Permit me to say word in reference to the
term speculative value, the scope of which, to
my mind, you misapprehend.
As understand it, speculative value is that
excess above true economic value which is
added by the speculator in anticipation of the
growth of population and the necessities of the
people, pushing the price always just beyond
what purchaser can afford to pay for it at the
tme-that is, what he can pay for it and get a
fair return on his investment by use. IL is a
value entirely apart from true or economic
value In reality 1t is mere scheme of fore
stalling-a game in which greed plays against
human necessities.
The single tax contemplates the appropria-
tion not only of speculative values, but of eco
nomic values also; not only the values which
the speculator adds, but those which the COM
munity creates and are therefore entitled to,

WHETHER Mr.. Alexander Sullivan was
an accessory to the murder of Cronin or not,
seems to be doubtful; but there is not much
question that the disclosures concerning an
organization which can try its members for
"treason" and direct their removal" with
out regard to the laws of this country, will
produce demand that the leaders of that
order be instructed as to the fact, that the
laws of this land are superior to those of
any organization of foreign character and
purposes.
