What Bishop Vincent Saysl

BUFFALO, y. Y, Dec. 21, 1888.
"The next few years will witness
a great change in educational ideas.
The possibilities Of sclfcuiure are
to be emphasized, and the means OF
aid and direction increased. After
careful examination of 'Johnson's
Universal Cyclop@dia,' | am con
WINGED that while it is exceller tly
adapted TO the needs Of professional
and business men, IL IL eminently
useful to the earnest, thorough self
educator.
"This work, with Its corps of con-
tributors, offers accurate articles on
the widest range of subjects. To
the value of trustworthy infOrma-
tion is added the Inspiration of
personality associated with great
names. ] heartily commend this
Cycloppdia to all, and especially to
those who are pursuing self-set
courses in the great university of
life." JOHN II. VINCENT,
Chancellor Chautauqua University.
HAND MAsHED.-C. f. Lewis,
center brakeman on freight train
No. ., met with IA somewhat painful
though still lucky accident while
making coupling of box car aud
the engine this morning here. The
work belonged to the head brake
man, who did not happen to be on
the spot and Lewis being there
made the coupling, but in doing so
his hand was caught between the
pin and the tail casting, Which tore
the skin of and bruised he fleshy
part of his hand considerably. The
doctor who dressed the wound told
him it would be quite while be-
fore he would be as good as new.
The lucky part is that it is no worse.

THE COST OF vERBIAGE.

The movement reported to be afoot among
the lawyers, for ridding deeds, mortgages
and other legal forms of their superabund-
ant verbiage, is a good one. The unneces-
sary repetitions with which such documents
are loaded is we'll known. In the first draft
OF the greatness of such instruments, the
extra labor and cost of filling out the blank
forms is not great; but when it is remem-
bered that some one must pay for copying
these records on the county booksit is plain
that the tautologv of the deeds and mort
cages is in the sum total an extre mely e1-
peusive luxury.
1t is certainly movement in the direc-
of nineteenth century reforms to get rid of
the medieval and parrotlike forms that have
fastened themselves on the legal documents
of modern times. Even though the law
yers' movement should bear fruit slowly,
the bringing of this expense to the public
notice ought to have some effect. One half
of the cost of recording deeds and mort
cages is in copying the formal and perfume
tory verbiage. Why cannot this cost be
saved to the public at once, by having the
record books made of printed blanks just
like the original instruments, leaving only
the individual parts of each instrument to
be written with the pen. By doing this the
cost of the old forms would be reduced to a
minimum, and the work Of recording could
be done in one-third the time.

THE PHILADELPHIA FAILURES.

The suspension of the Bank of America
at Philadelphia yesterday is the result of
the financial complications of Senator Nc
Farlane, whose bankruptcy, with the in
volving of the American Life Company, Of
which he was President, has already been
reported by our special dispatches.
There are a great many features about
these difficulties which are not clear to the
public. But the statements that have been
made warrant the conclusion that the whole
trouble is due to remarkable policy of
financial ballooning, in which the funds of
the two institutions were used to support the
widest schemes. That there has been any
actual diversion of funds from these instItu-
tions is not inrimated; but, the list of securi-
ties published as hypothecated with one of
the corporations, may raise the question
whether the loaning of trust funds on such
securities was not grave breach of official
duty.
A failure produced BY such causes can
have no threat to the legitimate business Of
the country. The financial institutions
which have based their loans on solid COM
mercial values, and the business interests
which are engaged in supplying the actual
consumptiye wants of the nation are wholly
distinct from this class of speculative bank
ing. They cannot be more than temporarily
incommoded by the failure of the kite-fying
and ballooning policy of finance.
Nevertheless the failure should not be
without its lesson that the policy of inde6-
mite expansion is bound to end in disaster.
Conservatism and solidity are safe princi-
Piles to stand by in finance.

THE SERVICE PENSION BILL.

The House took issue with the Senate YES
terdsy by the passage of the service pension
bill as substitute for the dependent pension
bill passed by the Senate some time ago.
The House bill provides pension of 500 per
snnum for ali soldiers over 60 years of age
who served 80 days or longer during the war.
This is SO radical departure from the Sen
ate bill that it raises the question whether
the Senate will agree to the new measure,
thus abandoning its former attitude; whether
pension legislation will fail, or whether
compromise will be reached by the passing
of a bill which will include both features.
As the bill passed will balance the S6O, O,O00,-
600 reduction of revenue proposed by the
tariff bill, with 500, 600, 900 increase of ex-
penditures, it is not impossible for the oppo-
sition to imagine that the House leaders
took this course to escape the disagreeable
consequences Of deficiency in the first
years balance sheet of Republican Con-
gress. But. of course, the Republicans will
claim that it was wholly due to their earnest
wish to do their full duty by the soldier.

SIR CHARLES DnKEs VIEWS
On the Questien OF Reducing the Number Of
Hours of Labor.

Hours of Labor.
From the Christian Union.J
Now that the eight-hour agitation has fairly
begun in this country, the manner in which 1t
was carried through In Australia becomes q
matter of timely interest A clear account Of
this is given In Sir Charles Dilke's new volume
on THE Problems of Great Britain" In 1855
an early-closing movement was begun in Mel
bourne for the benefit of the clerks in the
stores. Not until April 10 of the year following
did the mechanics take MP the agitation; but In
IL days they had gained everything they de-
manded. The stonemasons held the first meet
ing. Other trade unions in rapid succession
followed their example, and at union meeting
1t was decided that after April Il eight hours
instead should constitute days labor. Some
OF the contractors, of course, determined 20
fight, but before the evening of the first day
all but two or three of them had given in. In
some instances the workmen agreed to a re-
duction in wages until existing contracts were
completed, but in every case 1t was agreed that
thereafter the wages for eight hours should re-
main the same that they had hitherto been Tor
ten.
During the last few years the Australian
trades unions have gone step further. and
demanded that on Saturdays five hours instead
OF eight should constitute a days work. In
this, too they have in large measure been sue
cessful According to Sir Charles Dixie, 1t is
now the universal opinion among Australians
that the cheerfulness and vigor with which
men work when the hours are short enables
them to accomplish as much work in the course
OF week as when the hours were long.

the Government, or with regard to military
movements, is decreed to be seditious. All
persons connected with the circulation of
such rumors are by a previous decree liable
to be arrested, taken to Rio Janeiro and tried
by military tribunal. Under this decree if a
man makes statement even that reports of an
unpleasant nature to the Government are in
circulation, he can be punished by
military court set up by the Government
for that especial purpose. A more COM
plete suppression of the liberty of speech it
would be hard to imagine.
The characteristic feature of this so-called
republican rule is that the DEGREES which
undertake such absolute control over the
liberties of citizens, which subject them to
rial by courts martial, and which suppress
the liberty of the press, of speech and of the
transmission ofnews, are not even enacted
by a representative legislative body. No
election either for a constitutional conven-
ton or for any form of popular representation
has yet been heard of in Brazil. These
DEGREES are simply the edicts Of a junta which
seized power by a military insurrection, and
which though protesting the republican
principles has been in power nearly half a
year without calling constituent assembly.
There is peculiar interest for the United
States in these reports-which are so far
undisputed-in the fact that on the same
day of their publication comes the report
of the presentation by the United States
diplomatic representative at Rio, of the
congratulations by the United States
Congressto Brazil upon having adopted gov
ernment by the people. Does the United
States wish to leave itself in the attitude of
practically declaring to the world that
constitutional government, representative
legislation and individual liberties are not
essential features of republic?

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

The reports from Harrisburg indicate an
uncertainty of opinion about the signif-
canoe Of the date fixed for the Democratic
Convention by the meeting Of the State
Committee yesterday. One report says that
putting the convention after the Republican
gathering means that Pattison will be the
nominee if Delamater is the Republican
candidate. Another statement is that "the
early date is regarded as favorable to Wal
lace. Perhaps the actual significance is
far less than is supposed, being only that of
following out the general custom to have the
Democratic Convention shortly after that
of the Republican party. The nomination
of the convention will be Influenced more
by the action of the county gatherings than
by the date of the State Convention. The
prominence which Pattison's name has as
sumed of late is a sign that the Democracy,
or at least large share of the party, stand
ready to take advantage of their adversary's
mistakes

THE SILENT SENATOR.

BROOKLYN Standard Union: The expression
of the anxiety of Democrats to get Quay re-
moved from the Craftsmanship of the Republi-
can National Committee furnishes Republicans
an attractive study, but not an alluring in
centive.
PHILADELPHIA Record: Will Senator Quay
kindly inform Governor Beaver of the existing
vacancy in the Third Congressional dis let?
The Governor seems to be waiting to hear from
the Senator, and the voters of the Third district
are waiting to hear from the Governor. Let
the curtain be rung down on this farce.
BosToN Globe: Murat Halstead innocently
refuses to believe that Boss Quay and Boss
Platt are bad men, because I'VE have seldom
met more quiet gentlemen" Oh, yes, Quay
and Platt are quiet. So was the heather
Chinee, and yet for ways that were dark and
tricks that were vain, he could not give any
points to these Republican Tweeds.
TOLEDO Commercial: Democratic effort to
force the resignation of Senator QUAY as Chair
man of the Republican National Executive
Committee is likely to prove unavaIling. He Is
not the man to resign under fire, and no cause
has been shown for asking bis resignation by
anyone other tnaD his defeated enemies. The
possibility of his resignation has not been sug-
gested by anybody except Democrats and their
Mugwump allies.
KANSAS CITY Star: Senator Delamater
Quay's candidate for Governor of Pennsylva-
mia, is charged by the Schuylkill Republican
with making mereh andise of his vote on public
measures in subservience to the interest of
the Standard Oil Company. That is quite as
bad as using the State funds for speculative
purposes. 1t is not often that the henchman
turns out to be any better than the boss" 1t
is a good time in PENNSYLVANIA to sit down on
both.
DENVER NeDs: The charges made in con-
nection with Mr.. Quay and the Pennsylvania
State Treasury are by newspapers of reputa-
ton and responsibility. They are given with
directness. minuteness of detail. and snch
thorough confidence In their correctness, as to
carry strong assumption of their truth. Un-
less Mr.. Quay is recognised representative OF
his party. he must be speedily reiegated to OBJ

BEFORE THE SUPREME COURT
Tho Famous Allen o. Myers Makes q Plea In
His Own Behalf.

His Own Behalf
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcHi
COLUMBUS, o., April 3o-Allen o. Myers ap-
peared before the Supreme Court to-day and
presented an argument relative to his petition
for reversal of the decision of the lower
court, by which he was senten ced to pay . fine
of $3.50 and serve Is days in Jail for contempt.
The fact that he was to make the argument
himself became noised about in legal circles
and attracted an audience, mostly composed of
lawyers. 1t was expected Myers would create
a sensation by his usual boisterousness, but he
surprised all by talking moderately for half
hour or more in which he went over the prin-
clpal points OF the case. He said he had en-
pioyed lawyers for three years to keep him out
OF jail and the result was he had been incar-
cerated and broken up in an effort to pay them.
He recited to the Court an outline of the
famous tally sheet trial. tracing the events
which preceded and carsed the publication by
him of the article which criticised the action of
Judge Pugh ana others. He stated that be-
fore the article was published he had gone in
pursuance to directions from John Mclean,
to the law yers for the purpose of ascertaining
contempt o. couls He was assured by both
that while tLa article might be libelous. no
construction couiu put upon the law cover
ing the case by which It could be contempt.
Ihe lawyers assured me, Your Honors. that
the act would, in NJ sense, be contempt; yet the
Court held differently. 1t is because of the
d1herent construction given the law by the at
torneys and the Court that stand before you
to-day trying to keep myself out OF jail"

The New York Times quotes the remark
of THE DISPATCH that 1T is probably true
that the Sugar Trust succeeded in getting the
S per cent ad valorem margin of protection
allotted to it by the first draft of the bill
changed to the specific duty of 40 of cent"
But the esteemed Times fails to make any reply
to the point raised by THE DISPATCH in the
same article, that the margin as now fixed by
the Mckinley bill is less than half what was
given by the Mills bill, and about one-third of
the margin afforded by the present tariff. The
Times is evidently not going to let its readers
see both sides of the case.
