A COSTLY INVESTIGATION.

Some points have recently been broughtout
with regard to English railroads which will
give rude shock to the theories of those
advocates OF the combination policy who
have framed the argument that English
railway regulation has reached the stage OF
perfection, and therefore, as it includes pool
ing contracts, the latter must be the solution
OF the same problem in the United States.
This is obviously en- attempt to reason
from a set conclusion to establish the neces-
sary premises: and the fact is made rather
clearer from the question in Parliament re-
Gently as to whether cost of the railway rates
investigation was $4,000 per day, and Sir
Michael HIcks-Beach's reply that if it was
which he did not admit-the public purse
would bear only small part of it. This
can only mean that the railways are ex-
pending large amounts in counsel fees to
fight off the investigation of the rates es-
tablished under this alleged ideal system.
That an investigation fought at such ex-
pense should promise some interesting dis
closures is evident, and it NAV be worth
while for Congress to await its full reports
before passing the bill legalizing pooling,
on the argument that it is the way things
are done in England.

rALLEYRAND ON BuNAPARTE.

The memoirs which come down to us
from the early part Of the century do not al
ways develop humorous qualities. 1t is an
agreeable exception, therefore, that is given
to the close of the century, from a character
of its beginning. in the form of some al
legged extracts from Talleyrand's memoirs,
which, after having been kept secret for 81
wears, are to be published this year. An
extract published in the London Times
gives Talleyrand's view of Bonaparte as
follows: "This man then was a very great
intellectual force, but he did not understand
the nature of true glory; his moral strength
amounted to very little or nothing"
This is as excruciatingly funny, coming
from Talleyrand, as If Jay Gould should
complain of Vanderbilt that he did not
properly comprehend the public obligations
of railway fnanciers. 1t may describe the
first Napoleon, but it certainly describes his
facile tool who sold himself to the First
Consul and betrayed the Emperor; who
took part in the Revolution and won power
and fame by helping to restore the Bour-
bons; and whose only steadfast principle
was to render that service which would keep
the Prince of Talleyrand and Perigord at
the top of the heap. Many witty sayings
have come down to this generation from the
unscrupulous diplomstist, but none OF them
equal the sublime because unconcious
humor of the condemnation of Bonaparte
by Talleyrand because he was deficient in
moral strength.

FOR THE BABIES SAKE.

President Harrison's s refusal to kiss baby
of this city is attracting the attention of
many of our contemporaries. Some applaud
Mr.. Harrison's selfdenial, and some do not.
We are not inclined to censure the Presi-
dent Why he refused is not known. 1t
may have been for particular reasons or
upon general principles. He has the repu-
tation of being fond OF children, and Baby
Mckee has achieved national fame through
his grandfsther's affection for him. It was
not through lack of kindliness, therefore,
that Mr.. Harrison refrained from kissing
the Pittsburg babe. However he was actu-
ated, we think Mr.. Harrison did right. The
practice of kissing babies promiscuously is
not wholesome or beautiful. Do the babies
like it? Our recollections upon this point
are hazy, and the babies of to-day cannot
intelligertly voice their convictions. Cir
cumstantial evidence indicates, however,
that kissing, if maternal kisses be excepted,
Is not relished by most babies. The contact
of a scrubby beard, at all events, could moi
be agreeable to any infant.
1t is highly probable that if the baby who
was not kissed by the President could ex-
press its views they would be found to be
strongly anti-kissing. AS an act of mercy
to the baby Mr.. Harrison's refusal merits
our approval. 1t would be an unspeakable
relief to the infants of this broad land if
their OSCILLATION for political purposes sunk
into desuetude. And candidates for Office
would not be sorry either.

riage last evening in the First Lutheran
Church, on Grant street. The ceremony was
read by Rev. e. Belfour, and witnessed by q

were seated by the ushers, who afterward led
the bridal party to the altar. They were Messrs.

THE HOT SPELL.

This year we are to have a summer in

earth is little trying to our tempers and
disastrous to our collars.
But the community has nobody to thank
for the heat but itself. The prayers for
clear skies, sunshine and dry roads have
gone up necessarily. Heard or not heed or
not, the weather asked for is now on hand.
The grumblers are not consistent.

RE The BUSINESS OFFICE of THE DIS
PATCH has been removed TO Corner OF
SmithFeld and Diamond Streets.
ANATIoNAL OPPORTUNITY.

Making due allowance for the exuber-
rnce of Mr.. Chauncey NJ. Depew's imagina-
ton the speech made by the mellifuous or
ator OF New York yesterday on the subject
of the Worlds Fair struck the big nail
right on the head. As THE DISPATCH has
maintained from the day that the Fair went
to Chicago, Mr.. Depew insists that the
Columbus Centennial is not the affair of one
city, but of the whole nation. 1t is we'll
that the leader of the forces OF Chicago's
greatest rival in the contest tor the Fair has
come forward to enforce this view.
1t is generous of Mr.. Depew,
but after all the patriot who
cannot see beyond the borders of his back
yard, as it were, is not far-sighted. The
year 1892, as Mr.. Depew remembers all the
time, will see a President nominated and
elected. The flowers the little children pre-
sented to Mr.. Depew yesterday were sweet
no doubt, but fairer far and sweeter a thou
sand times are votes to practical politician.
Aside from this personal issue the argu-
ments of Mr.. Depew in Chicago's behalf
are very strong. The American people can
not afford to let this opportunity slip TO
show the world the measure, quality and
variety Of their resources, their substantial
achievements and wonderful progress in all
directions. At Chicago the opportunity
occurs; upon that city the whole nation
must concentrate its forces.

times when courts of equity so fully help
out the deficiencies of the law, the prosiness
of the existing forms is wholly uncalled for.
1t is curious that it is the necessities of
practical business which suggest and in
measure compel the local reform. The
committee OF the Bar Association, which
has ably investigated the matter. finds that
the Recorders Office will be quickly over
crowded by volumes unless the phraseology
of deeds and mortgages is cut down. Yet
where there are 37S words in the form of
deeds now used, the committee has been
able to substitute one equally binding in 96
words; and a man may efficiently mortgage
his property in 2S5 words by the new form
where $50 were used up by the old. The
local Bar Association will score another
point for the profession and the public by
inaugurating the change.

TOO MUCH ART.

Boston, in common with other great
with variety of atrocities In the shape of
statues and monuments. To put an end to
this accumulation of horrors in stone and
metals, upon her streets and public places,
Boston has obtained from the Massa-
chusetts Legislature a Municipal Art Com
mission, whose duties are to see that only
creditable works of art are erected within
the city limits. The creation of this COM
mission has given dire offense to the Boston
Board of Aldermen, under whose auspices
the public art treasures have increased and
multiplied hitherto to an appalling degree.
All the Aldermen are, of course, con-
nolsseurs of art Aldermen always are, and
it is very painful to them to see other men
step in and steal from them their field OF
action in the pursuit of concrete beauty. 1t
is not surprising that the Aldermen are
deeply incensed. They freely announce
that they will not allow the commission to
perform its duties, and an interesting
struggle is expected.
Pittsburg has no particular works of art
to bother about in her public places yet,
and the City Fathers have had very little to
do with such manifestations Of artistic taste as
we may boast of in the Court House and
other buildings of note. Very luckily for
her, Pittsburg has escaped the infiction of
statuary such as Washington and New
York would give anything to be rid Of
When the Schenley Park is an accom-
plished fact it will be time enough to con-
slider whether we might not adopt the plan
Boston is trying to guard nature from out
rage in the form of cheap and hideous
works of so-called art.

COLONEL BAYNEs WITHDRAWAL.

PHILADELPHIA Times: The Allegheny
county political row and the hot season came
in together. The Signal Service prophets had
nothing to do with either.
HARRISBURG Patriot: Colonel Thomas M
Bayne created somewhat of sensation by de-
clining TO become a candidate for renomina-
ton to Congress, and ex-United States Dis
trict Attorney William A. Stone was chosen in
his stead.
HARRISBURG Telegraph: The retirement
of Tom Bayne from Congress was the political
surprise of the week. The unanimity and en-
thusiasm with which the Republicans of his
district supported him for denomination must
have been hard to resist. He has, however,
found politics anything but pleasant pastime,
and quits it without regret.
PHILADELPHIA Ledger: Representative
Bayne, of Pennsylvania, declines a nomination
after he has obtained it, and Representative
Vandever, of California, declines to be renomi-
mated in a district that would assuredly re-
elect him. II is not often that Congressman
etire except on some kind of compulsion, but
there is nothing of the kind in either of these
cases.
FRANKLIN Citizen Press: Hon. Thomas NJ.
Bayne was on Tuesday last unanimously re-
nominated for Congress, his competitor at the
primary election, Hon. George Shras who re-
ceived less than one-third OF the vote, with
drawing. To the surprise of the convention
and Republicans generally. when escorted to
the platform he made a speech declining the
nomination. Efforts were made to have him
reconsider his decination. but he refused to
do so. The reasons for Colonel Bayne's declin-
alton have not been given. but it is presumed
that he aspires to higher political honors.
WASHINGTON Post: There are numerous
attempts being made to explain Congressman
Bayne's unexpected declination of Congress
sional nomination in a district which has never
failed to indorse MIN at the polls. Whatever
may be the motives which actuated the ALE
gheny Congressman. it is quite certain that his
constituents will lose an able representative by
his retirement, while the Republican party
will miss his safe and valuable advice on and
off the floor of the House. Mr.. Bayne is a Wig
orous man, and his IA years experience III Con-
gress well qualify him for the position he now
occupies. AS before stated, whether Mr..
Bayne's retirement be forced or otherwise. he
is not the heaviest loser by the operation.
