OBEDIENCE TO THE LAW.

The reports from Iowa that the Des
MONIES river settlers, who have been elected
from the lands which they have occupied
for many years, are resisting the United
States officers and have practically defed
the action of the law, shows at once the re-
suit of gigantic wrong, and resort to
methods on the part of those wronged which
are wholly unjustifable.
The Des Moines river evictions present
one of the typical crimes of the day. 1t is
the robbery of the people for the enrichment
Of a corporation which gives no considera-
tion for its stolen possessions. 1t is shame
to this country; but the evicted settlers are
not justified, even by the greatest wrong, in
defying and overriding the laws. They only
invite disaster to themselves in so doing.
They should rather testify their obedience to
the law by accepting the injustice that has
been done them, and appealing to the law to
rectify its own wrong.
What this country needs is to have every
body respect the law themselves and demand
an equal obedience to its letter and spirit
from all others-the rich and great as we'll
as the humble and obscure

GOVERNMENT AND C1RCUsEs.

A rather surprising development of the
functions of government, and at the same
time an indication of determination to keep
up with the progress of the age, is evinced
BY the formal announcement of the Director
of the Philadelphia Department of Public
Safety that hereafter no one-horse circus
need apply for license there.
This governmental declaration of pro-
scription against the one-horse circus is par
ticularly impressive at this season of the
year, when the circus poster enriches the
rural landscape with its gay colors in ad-
vance of the flowers of the spring, and the
circus procession follows at a greater or
less distance behind the pictorial represen-
tation of its thrilling scenes. But the atti-
tude of the officers of the law brings up one
difficulty at the outset. What is the legal
definition of ''one-horse circus?" Will
the time-honored combination which travels
from town to town by wagon, fall within the
prohibition, or will the limit be drawn by
requiring a fixed number of wild beast
cages, or a standard of startling qualities in
its roadside adornments? If the term is to
be construed literally and the Philadelphia
police official is determined to exclude every
circus whose equine possessions are summed
up in a single horse, we cannot sufficiently
applaud the determination that henceforth
Philadelphia will abandon its placidity and
indulge only in the whirl of pleasures held
out by aggregations owning two or more
horses.
But presuming that the legal standard as
to circuses will be drawn somewhat higher,
the official declaration that Philadelphia is
going to keep up to the progress of the age
on circuses suggests many interesting varia-
tions of the same idea. Why should not
the Philadelphia police department also
suppress one-horse dramatic concerns and
one-horse variety shows? Or by the easy
transition from the circus to the rings and
ringmasters of politics, if the Department
of Public Safety at the other end of the
State should suppress one-horse politicians
and one-horse Legislators it might make a
vaster reform than even the elevation of the
circus standard.
But suppose the circus interests should re-
taliate on this rule with the announcement
that they will not play in one-horse cities?
The effect of such mutual boycott in re-
ducing Philadelphia pleasures to the ex-
citement OF kite-fying in Fairmount park
is something too soothing and soporifc for
contemplation.

THE GnVERNnR,S POINT

The Governors veto of the bill to provide
for the sale of the old county buildings is
likely at the first blush to strike every one
as hair-splitting, but full reading leaves
the lawyers of the State Executive depart
ment rather on top of their Pittsburg
brethren. 1t seems to have been taken for
granted here, not only that authority for
such sale was lacking, but that special
legislation was needed to secure it. The
bill being passed in accordance with that
idea, the Governor steps forward and first
shows that such special legislation is un-
constitutional because a general law can
very easily be passed to reach the same end;
and, secondly cites a law of fifteen years
standing allowing County Commissioners to
sell such property, upon the approval of the
Court of Quarter Sessions. This outcome
will probably induce our lawyers, before
they next ask for special Legislation, to ex-
anime the statute-books thoroughly and find
out whether the general laws do not meet
the requirements.

FUN ON THE OUTSIDE.

The columns of Mr.. Murat Halstead's s
paper, since the rejection of his nomination
by the Senate. present very good illustra-
tion of the remarkably stimulating inhu
ence which it has upon an Independent ed.
itor to be on the outside.
Mr.. Halstead has not more than got his
batteries into position; but he has found
time to produce large number of interest
ing facts tending to show that Senator
Bvarts is an attorney and the creature of
the corporations; that Senator Teller ran the
Interior Department, when he was at the
head of it, especially for the benefit of
the land grabbers; that Senator Quay
operated the Pardon Board of Pennsyl-
vania for the exemption of Kemble
from punishment for bribery; that Sen
ator Plumb, while Provost Marshal dur
ing the war, was partner in a conspiracy
to extort money from a man who was in his
official power; and that Ingalls, and Farwell
got their seats IN the Senate by much the
same means as Payne.
We need not at present discuss the evil
dence adduced to substantiate these interest
ing allegations; but Mr.. Halstead must feel
while making them how much more fun it is
to WELD the free lance of independence than
to dwell in the tents of diplomatic innocu-
BUSINESS.

THE SINKING FUND LoaoMAoHy

The very warm divergence of opinion,
developed between the Controller and the
Finance Committee of Councils, at the
meeting of that body last night, contains a
promise of future interesting and lively dis
eussions. The average citizen may find
some difficulty in understanding exactly
what it is all about; but he will know that
it is dispute over city administration.
Lively discussions on that topic are always
interesting, and generally advantageous, to
the taxpayer.
Leaving the issues OF fact between the
Controller and the committee to be decided
by the public, question of policy presents
itself in connection with this dispute. One
of the main arguments in favor of the adop-
ton of the new charter was that it would
take the administration of public affairs out
of the hands of Council committees, and
vest it, instead, in the responsible heads of
departments. That there is anything in the
past record of the Finance Committee,
which entities it to an exception from this
rule of executive responsibility has not yet
been argued; but II seems that such an ex-
ception is claimed in the management of
the sinking fund
Whatever foundation there may be for
that claim, and without threshing past
disputes, it seems that the theory of the
charter would be more clearly followed by
putting the management of the sinking
fund under control of board consisting of
the Mayor, Controller and Treasurer. These
are the officials whose duties and position
would naturally enable them to discharge
the work properly and the personal compo-
sition of the Board would be wholly satis-
factory to the public.
At all events, it is to be hoped that
Board so constituted would be able to dis
charge its financial duties without mutual
assaults upon the yeracity of its members.

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH
PITTsBURG, WEDNESDAY, APR. 10, 1889.
A LEGISLATIVE DODGE.

The House yesterday showed its ability to
find more ways than one to get around an
inconvenient measure without voting on it.
Mr.. Wherry's anti-discrimination bill
having been made a special order, in an un-
guarded moment, and Mr.. Carnegie's speech
having forced the Importance of the issue
upon members, it would have been very in
convenient to vote against the bill. With
that dilemma staring them in the face the
patriotism of the members induced them to
dodge the special order by adiournlng to at
tend celebration of Lees surrender and to
use their railway passes in going to Milton
for that purpose.
1t is to hoped, for the credit of the legis-
lators, that they will not permit the measure
to be finally sheIved in this way. They
cannot fail to see that the public mind Of
the State is becoming thoroughly aroused
on this point. Merchants, manufacturers,
farmers and labor organizations are united
in the demand that the corporations of the
State shall not discriminate against the in
dustries of the State. This demand will
make itself felt by the Legislators sooner or
later; and they must recognize the fact. 1t
was not inappropriate to bear in mind the
fact that yesterday was the anniversary of
the surrender of the rebel army; but that
recollection should inspire the representa-
tives of the people to hasten the day when
the corporate creature of the State shall
surrender to the Constitution and laws and
yield its allegiance to the interests of the
State which give it sustenance.
1t is asserted by some that this Legislature
will not pass any anti-discriminatiOn bill;
and the readiness to accept almost any
excuse for lodging a vote, lends color to
that idea. 1t will be well to press the issue,
and find out whether the corporations haYe
such hold upon our Legislators as to defeat
bill against which no valid objections can
be urged and which does not fully enact all
the requirements of the Constitution.

An Accurate Picture of Russell B. Harrison
The Naval secretary's Sacrifice, and
Gossip of All sorts.
A GOOD deal of Republican gush and Demo-
cratic depreciation has been printed concern
ing the Presidents son, Russell B. Harrison,
but what sort of a man he is have not been
able to gather from the printed descriptions Of
him.
Yesterday. however, met a man who has
had plenty of opportunity to study Mr. Russell
Harrison. and to hear all about him from those
who have known him since childhood. asked
him to describe the young man. He said; ''Mr.
Russell Harrison is not an eccentric character,
nor is he a tame and uninteresting young man,
He Is a fair type of the leVel-headed young
American, with good deal of his fathers de-
termination. His physical makeup suggests
his mental caliber. He is about the middle
height; stocky and well-knit in frame. The
lines of his face are strong and well marked.
You can tell before he speaks word that he
has " i'll of his own and energy enough to sup
port it. Personally he is agreeable, but you
would not call him affable as a rule II he
knows who you are he can make himself very
pleasant to you.
ut is the custom to say that Mr. Russell B.
Harrison is fond of being interviewed; and his
own family and friends joke him on that ac-
count. In reality he does all he can to avoid
reporters, but he is so perpetually hesieged
by them that he cannot avoid talking to some
of them. He certainly does not deserve to be
accused of trying to spread himself on the coat
tails of his father"

THE DAKOTAS, DUTY.

Some time ago we had to reproach the
Dakotas, North and South, and at that time
territorially one, with the possession of too
many picturesque liars. At the time we
speak of, these champions of the imagina-
tion had been piling up perjuries about the
summer joys to be had in that region at
Christmas time. Since then the average
number of billiards have taken place, and
cold facts have frozen out even the remem-
brance of the summer weather and open-air
picnics talked of by the romancists.
In fact the truth is what we complain of
now. North and South Dakota have been
admitted to the sweet sisterhood Sf
States. The dignity and expense of
Statehood has been granted by Congress
70 the Dakotas with characteristic lib
erality. Both States now contemplate
the joys of having more State Offices than
they need, and yet not half enough to go
round among the patriots. And yet in
spite of Congress kindness, and the friendly
advice which the olderS States have showered
upon them, both North and South Dakota
have done nothing, absolutely nothing, to
improve their respective atmospheres. We
hear of hurricanes and prairie fires in South
Dakota and billiards and famines in North
Dakota. OF course the Dakotas are but
young things. They do not know perhaps
what is expected of them as States There
fore we have spoken of the matter. They

OAttto uuu lliVb DbDChs
LA INQUIRE, OAK, April 9.-August Gliffe,
who came TO this county from Wisconsin a few
years ago, secured $50 in the summer of 1887
from young man with whom he was lahoring,
for which he agreed to deliver up to him for
wife one of his girls. who was then in Wiscon-
sin. In due time the family of Gliffe, including
this young lady whom he had bargained away,
came to this county, and shortly afterward the
girl fell in love with another young man and
desired to marry him, while 1t Is said by others
that this second young man paid IS for her.
However this may be, this second young man
secured the girl and married her, When the
$50 young man found that he could not get the
girl, he demanded his money of the old man,
and, not getting it, gave him sound thrash
ing.
About this time, Also some of his neighbors
objected to his shotgun policy, and the old man
thought It would be healthier for him to live
somewhere else for a time and took his de-
parture for Brown county. He still had an eye
for business, however, as he soon returned, and
