TWO KINDS OF LAW.

1t is hard to convince the people that the
rich and the poor before the law are alike
when State Treasurer ArcheFyet Maryland
gets five years imprisonment for stealing
more than a hundred thousand dollars, and
q poor wretch in New York City is SEN
tenced to fourteen years Imprisonment for
stealing fifteen cents. The monstrous
difference between these two SEN
tences is q harder blow to our in
stitutions than a ton of anarchistic
dynamite. There must be something
wrong with a system that permits such un-
righteous judgments. The State official
who betrays his trust and deliberately robs
the men who honored him with their con-
fdence is surely vIler and more dangerous
criminal than the beggar whose hunger
tempts him to steal few cents. Ii the
rascal in purple had been retired behind
prison walls for fourteen years, and the pun
ishment of the ffteen-cent defaulter had
been cut down to a few months, justice
would have been better satisfied.

NOISE, NOT WAR.

British war ships are gathering in the
neighborhood of the Behring Sea seal
fisheries. Five sloops of war have
anchored in Esquimalt harbor where but
one has been seen for months. If reports
are to be trusted, this naval squadron is
being put in shape for very active service,
stress being laid upon gun practice. Ad-
miral Holham will arrive on the scene in
the biggest man-ot-war ever seen in those
waters before the end of this month. The
British Columbians say with gusto that
he is a fighter But the Scoops
of war, and the terrible Warspite, and the
fighting Admiral need not terrify the
American fishermen who are working under
the protection of the Stars and Stripes,
There will be po fighting about the seals if
the statesmen Of this country and England
exercise common sense and stick to justice.
1t would be crime to let such a question
embroil two friendly nations.

A PHASE OF CHEAP LABOR.

a striking phase of the labor question, to
which very little attention is generally paid,
is set forth by the report of the Massachu-
sets Commissioner of Labor. That docu-
ment furnishes statistics to support the con-
viction of the commissioner "that women
work harder and more hours than men, and
get much less pay" This assertion is made
concerning the factories of that State, in
which the proportion OF female labor is 507
per cent, or little over half; while the av-
erage wages earned by their labor of ten
hours daily is S. 81 per week.
This does not take into consideration the
labor either of paid domestics or of women
who do their own housework. No accurate
means exist of calculating the hours of labor
or the wages received by the latter class; but
the statistics furnished in the Massachusetts,
case are enough to show that labor organiza-
tion in Massachusetts, has not been able to
raise the remuneration of the class of oper-
atives furnishing more than half the factory
labor of that State to an average of one dol
lar per day.
1t is evident that this is not only great
1HJ US'iNS 'oASn SAnP4t Dg ltS0i-, Dut ou oO-
solutely depressing influence on wages at
large. When the law of Massachusetts, cut
down the hours OF women and children's
work in factories to ten hours, the influence
on mans labor was to produce a natural
shortening of mems hours to the same ex-
tent 1t is obvious that the same process
works in the other direction, and that the
payment of less than SIX dollars a week TO
more than half the effective labor in Massa-
ehusetts must have an indefinitely depress-
ing effect on wages at large. The trades
unions will do big work if they can solve
the problem of securing decent pay for fe-
male operatives.

TIL FUNERAL PRERoGATIyE.

II is rather surprising to observe from the
proceedings OF Select Council that a
majority of that body takes position against
any attempts to lesson the obstruction of the
routes of rapid transit, caused by funeral
professions. 1t is hardly possible to believe
that the able members of that body should
virtually vote that undertakers shall not be
asked to turn their vehicles out of the track
to let a cable car pass them, merely out
of sentiment of antagonism to the cable
companies 1t is therefore to be concluded
that they had reason for their action; and
it becomes necessary to inquire for the
reason as a curiosity of human ratiocination
The opinion of Select Council appears to
be that due respect cannot be paid to the
dead, unless the entire street along which
given funeral passes shall adopt the funeral
pace The scriptural authority for weeping
with those that mourn, has evidently i'm
pressed the municipal fathers to the extent
of sanctioning a compulsory addition of the
passengers on the cars to the funeral cor
tege; and, so far from accepting Mr.. Robert
sons modern and possibly agnostic idea of
decreasing funereal show and expense, the
vote OF the Select Councilmen is to the effect
that the cable cars must join the procession,
even although the frame opioned produced
in the passengers thereby will be the reverse
of reverential.
That no other construction Of the munich
pal attitude is discernable may be seen from
the facts of the case. Three cable lines lead
out of this city and one electric line passes
through Allegheny, all of which are more or
less frequently used by funeral professions.
Of these routes every one is paralleled by
streets along which funeral professions can
pass if they choose without interference
from the transit lines, and over most of
their lines there is ample room either for
carriages to turn out on the outside of the
tracks or into the track opposite to that on
which the car wishes to pass them. With
these facilities by which funeral professions
can keep out of the way of cable and electric
cars, the vote that they shall not be required
to do so must be based on the conviction
that it will be useful as penitential meas
ure to force the passengers on those lines
AhVO on An'OAuAeoAy PoihSiPo1A0n WAN oAA
the funerals they may come across, and to
permit the dignified funeral director to hold
all perniciously rapid cable cars in his train
while he proceeds at a leisurely pace from
Eleventh to Fifteenth streets.
1t also appears that the proposal for cut
ting down the pomp at funerals is not popu-
lar in Select Councils. Poor people may
cripple themselves for years to pay tor the
display of funerals, but no such extraneous
considerations are to interfere with the
solemn duty of obstructing the streets with
funeral pomp. 1t has been thought that
the transit corporations were unduly power
ful in the streets; but when the question of
permitting their duty to the public of fur
nishing rapid transit TO infringe on the
prerogatives of the funeral director, it be-
comes evident that the undertaken is on top
of all,

ARE WE so wICKEDs

The observations of an intelligent stranger
are always valuable and interesting to his
hosts. What Mr.. Griffith, President OF the
Maryland Prisoners Aid Association, has
to say in such a capacity is no exception to
the rule. Mr.. Griffith bestows great deal
of praise upon divers of our city and county
institutions. The Allegheny Workhouse
impressed him very favorably; in fact, he
thinks it the best institution of the kind in
the country. The Court House, the Jail
and the Western Penitentiary Mr..
Griffith commends with some reservations.
He advocates the separation of the sexes
more completely in the jail. This would
be an improvement, no doubt. But the
point which we are most interested in noting
is Mr.. Grifith's comment upon the per-
centage of prisoners to population in Allie
gheny county. He says that it far exceeds
Maryland's percentage. We have not the
figures at hand to examine, but we are not
sure that Mr.. Griffith has rightly interpret
ed them. Perhaps he failed to consider
that the Riverside Penitentiary receives
prisoners from Western Pennsylvania.

KEEPING COOL

All questions are paling before the vital
one: How to keep cool? There is nothing
humorous about heat like that of yesterday.
The hundred degree mark is too close a
neighbor to the mercury for human health
or comfort There has been a steady rise
in the temperature since the brief cool spell
which rounded off last week so pleasantly.
Unhappily to-day promises to be as hot or
hotter. There is large supply Of
answers to the question which we
have referred to. Our readers can
take their choice in the columns
of suggestions which our pages contain to-
dav. They can wear flannel shirts and
eschew cucumbers, or array themselves in
linen and devour watermelon, as the spirit
moves them. The DISPATCH wishes it
could guarantee to keep everybody cool.
But it is matter which Congress even is
powerless to handle, and mass meeting in
protest would only result in perspiration.
Perhaps the best advice is: Keep calm and
do not labor too hard to keep cool

BACK-ACTIoN REFORM.

The position assumed by the Democratic
convention in its ballot reform plank is
emphatically criticised by the Philadelphia
Press, because it fails to fully meet the de-
mand that the Constitution shall be
amended so that ballots shall no longer be
numbered as they are cast. 1t intimates
that the failure to do this shows that the
influences in control of the Democratic con-
vention are not in favor of genuine ballot
reform.
In other words, the Press has decided to
emphasize the issue of repeating the provis-
ion in the Constitution inserted there to
prevent the ballot-box stufing by which, for
years, Philadelphia turned out majorities to
order. What will be put in its place is not
specified; and, SO far as can be perceived,
either from the Republican platform or the
columns of the Press, it is not regarded as
important what the new provisions are, so
that the present safeguard against the SUBJ
stitution of fraudulent ballots are entirely
removed.
Both parties are agreed upon the general
principle of ballot reform; but some of the
disputants need to be instructed that it

aid, who lives in one of the remote parts of
settlement at Molus River, provincial town,
was absent from home few nights ago, hav.
ing left his wife and sister as the sole defend
ers Of his household. Just at dusk the two
women, who were busy about their household
duties, wire suddenly attracted by believing
among tha cattle in the barnyard. Without the
slightest hesitation the women armed them
selves wiqh the only weapons on hand-an ak
and pitchfork-and sailed forth. Only few
steps has been traversed before they saw an
enormous black bear, that stood aggressively
awaiting them. At either side of him lay an
OK. which had fallen under his heavy blows.
while the rest of the cattle were huddled
closely IN one corner OF the yard believing
pteousy iii their flight.
Mrs. Mcdonald, excited at the sight of the
dead animals, rushed at the bear with pitch
fork thrusting it deep into his neck. A roar
of mingled rage and pain followed and with a
sweep of his paw he struck the weapon from
her hands The other woman struck at the
bear with the ak, disabling one of his forward
legs Mrs. Mcdonald ran for her pitchfork,
recovered 1t and the two plucky women then
went at Bruin hammer and tongs. Mrs. Nc
Donald wounded him with the pitchfork in
tion with the ak. The battle was short and
sharp, and the bear was dead in few mo-
ments He was very large and old. The
women had their clothes badly torn, but be.
yond a few scratches and the fright suffered
no injury.

AN ANOMALY IN STRIKES,

The unique aspect of force of policemen
going on strike against their superior
officers, which was presented at London on
Monday, has been terminated apparently
by the perception of the anomalous results
90 which it led. The right of police force
10 exist is based on obedience TO authority
and maintenance of the laws. If the men
<ho have taken the obligations of police
aen upon them defy the authority of their
toperiors and join in acts which imply both
defiance Of the law on their own account,
and permission for the lawless to ply
their trade uninterrupted the public reason
for the maintenance of such force is taken
away.
1t is evident that the law cannot tolerate
any such steps as the defiance by policemen
of the orders of their officers, or forcible re-
sistance to the means taken by the authori-
ties to supply their places when they re-
fuse to serve. But the denunciation OF such
steDs by the law does not by any means
terminate the problem. Military law can
not any better tolerate similar acts on the
part of soldiers. Yet the history of the
world is fail of examples where military

LABoR's COOPERATION WANTED.
An Interesting but Poorly Attended Meeting
of the W. C. T. u.


Yesterday afternoons m Getting of the County
W. c. T. o., held in the Third U. P. Church,
was but slimly attended, owing to the extreme
hot weather. The meeting was presided over
by Mrs Spencer, and was opened with prayer
by Mrs. R. H. Jones. The report of the Treas
urer, Miss Matte Mcconnell, shows that during
the past month $50 was expended. and that
there is in the treasury a balance of s2S5 81.
Mrs. DR.. Page, who has charge Of the
library work. read an address prepared to be
sent to local unions. The address urges the
unions to select superintendent who will
unite with the General Superintendent in car
rying out the work of the department. 1t is
desired that, in accordance with the wish of
the State Committee, special attention be
paid to all labor organizations. Mrs. Page
argues that the recent actions of the labor
organizations of the country have been to
unite with the temperance movement and
form an independent party. The State society
dorsed and that was to urge employers to pay
on Monday and make Saturday half holiday.
Mrs Page also urges that coffee rooms be
established where workmen can spend pleas
ant evening outside of saloons.
The address was literally applauded, and
vote of thanks rendered to the writer. Mrs
Spencer called attention to the fact that the
W. G. T. U. of this county was practically with
out headquarters, and as there was urgent
necessity for one just at present, the different
unions were advised to take the matter up and
see if something could not be done looking
toward the establishment of such place.
Mrs. r. n. Jones was requested to prepare
paper on miners work for the next meeting,
and the meeting adjourned with prayer.

a REMARKABLE FISH.
II Builds Itself Cocoon TO Live nt the Bot

IL Builds Itself n Cocoon TO Live nt the Bot
tom of Rivers During DrouRhts.
From the Leisure Hour
Africa is the home of many extraordinary
animals, but there is no more remarkable
creature than the mudfsh, which inhabits GER
tain of the rivers of Western Africa, and, as its
name implies it turks at the muddy bottoms OF
these rivers. At present. however, it is not
necessary to 90 to Africa to see this fish, as 1t
can be seen by any one who has the time in the
reptile house at the Geological Gardens.
At first sight there is perhaps nothing es-
pecially striking about this animal: it looks
very much like an ordinary fish. except for its
curious, long slender fins. visitor who knew
nothing about the creature would probably go
away with the impression that he had seen
nothing out of the common. When the fishes
arrived each one was encased in ball of dried
mud. lined with mucus from its body and per-
forated by small aperture to admit OF breath
ing This "cocooD," as it is sometimes called,
on account of its analogy to the earthen case
fabricated by many caterpillars in which to
undergo their metamorphoses, on being placed
in warmlsh water was dissolved and the fish
liberated.
an earthen chamber of the mud at the bottom
of the river is a most wonderful provision Of
nature for the eXigcncies of the climate. The
rivers which the fish inhabits are liable to peri
odical droughts When such 4 drought is i'm
minent the fish retires to doep water and exca-
Yates a Dit, in which it lies covering itself over
with q thick layer of mud 1t can suffer with
impunitY the complete drying up of the river.
But the most interesting fact about the crea-
ture is that during the time of its voluntary
Imprisonment it breathes air directly through
an aperture left in the cocoon, by means of
lungs, just like land animal When the re-
turning rains dissolve the mud and lberate
the fish it breaths by means OF gills, just like
any other fish.
