Nothing that that man Richie, the

PITTsBURG. MONDAY. SEPT. q 1890.
THE INDEPENDENr MOVEMENT.

The movement of the outside petroleum
producers to organize competition against
the Standard is steadily crystallizing in the
direction of definite organization. Inter
views with the operators show the opinion
to be universal that the oil interests outside
of the Standard must organize to secure
competing pipeline facilities, the only diff
ferences of opinion being as to the form of
organization required.
With that object steadily held in view,
and with the producers fully determined
that the Standard emisSaries shall not swerve
them from their purpose, the solution of the
difficulty is certain. Every one who stud
les the oil situation knows that competition
in pipeline transportation is the key Of the
situation. Any plan which provides that
fully, will release the producers from the
Standards supremacy. To provide pipe
line competition reaching TO all parts of the
field, will require combined action on the
part of the producers, although different
companies might be organized for different
districts.
With pipeline transportation provided,
outside of the Standard, individual enter
prise would doubtless engage in the indie
pendent refining interest. If an inde-
pendent interest, refining 20 per centsof the
product, can exist with the Standard in
control of pipeline transportation, what
doubt is there that with competing pipe
lines, the independent interest would very
soon refine so per cent of the output? The
producers would doubtless strengthen their
position by owning refneries that cannot be
sold out without their consent; but they may
also be certain that with equal chances pro-
vided for the transportation of petroleum,
the independent reineries will spring up as
if by magic.
Pittsburg's interest in such projects is
clear and definite. When the city was not
by any means such center of oil produc-
tion as at present, it was the third refining
city of the country. If competing pipe
lines should center the production of the
southern districts here, the refining indus
try, which has been twice crushed out by
the Standard, would be revived into new
activity and give a fresh impetus 10 our
population and prosperity.

RESCUING THE CANAL,

The efforts to stop the surrender of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal to the railway
interest is gaining so much force that there
is good hope for the preservation of the canal
as water highway. The hearing at Hagers-
town, Nd, Saturday, brought out the
strongest expressions OF opposition to the
bargain vet heard. Leading lawyers, rep.
resenting important interests, presented
propositions for the preservation of the
canal which would put it in running order
by April next. With the matter put in that
shape, it is difficult to see how the courts can
refuse to preserve the canal for the original
purpose of its charter. But the railroad in
fuences are mighty, and we cannot be sure
that the canal is safe until it is in operation
once more.

short Tails Defended.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
Wants to Know, You Know" in your Mail
Pouch" doesn't seem to know what he wants
to know, you know. BY what process the
horses tails become docked In England, or any
other country for that matter, is simple
enough. A joint or two is taken of with a
knife in surgical way, as the horses tail is
too big for a joint two to be chewed
of as is done by brutal dog fanciers on the
tails of dogs, or cut of with scissors as some
brutal dog fanciers who think they can i'm
prove on Gods bandiwork. cut of a large por-
ton of dogs ears to make them look smart
don't you know. Well, in most instances the
tails of horses, especially draught horses, are
not docked, but the hair plated and tied up as
tight as the tail will allow OF, because England,
Scotland and Ireland is such damp country,
SO much rain, drizzle and fog; the roads. both
in town and country, get SO dirty and muddy
the teamster's or groom's time would be almost
constantly employed washing the horses tails
and taking of the mud accumulated on their
bodies by the swishing thereof.
In very few instances in big cities like Liver
pool, where the finest draught horses in the
world are to be seen, are the tails docked, but
the hair simply plated and dressed by the
teamsters in the most wonderful fashion, and
with the same care and taste exhibited by a
frst-class hair dresser on the mead of young
each year in procession trimmed with ribbons,
rosettes and artificial flowers galore. Hunting.
racing and sporting men in the Old Country do
actually dock or take joint two OF the
tails and trim the hair accordingly, thinking
their horses look smarter and their appearance
improved. MUD.

This sketch of the leader Of the Repub-

tanned in New York, making bargain with
the Democracy for the creation Of useless

addition that the Fassett investigation was
brought about, not for reform or the pun
ishment of dishonesty, but for vengeance
because the Republican leader was cheated
out OF his share of the political swag is an
object-lesson as to the necessity of cutting
loose from all political cliques in order to
secure any reform.

A STRING TO IT.

The educational qualification adopted by
the Mississippi Constitutional Convention
provides that after January 1, 1896, no person
shall be qualified to vote in that State unless
he can read a passage in the constitution of
the State. This very commendable provis-
ion is modified by the following rider: "Or
be able to understand it intelligently when
read to him." This provision puts the con-
vention in the attitude of prescribing an ed
ucational qualification, and then providing
loop hole by which it can be nullifed in
favor of those to whom the party in power
desires to give the right to vote. A passage
from almost any State constitution can be
selected which would tax the powers of an
Intelligent man to understand when read to
him at random and without fhe context;
and on the other hand, one could be selected
ofwhich the most ignorant man might profess
an understanding. Perhaps the Mississip.
plans think that this provision of the con-
stitution cannot be understood intelligently
by the majority of the people. 1t is to be
hoped that the spirit of civilization will
have force enough in Mississippi to require
an impartial educational qualification.

INVOLUNTARY USEFULNESS.

Some people may have been inclined to
regard Col. Elliot f. Shepard as presenting
a puzzle, like that of the flea or mosquito, as
to the purpose OF a wise Providence in
creating him. His most characteristic per-
formances indicate that his function in pub
lie affairs is to blurt out pieces of information
which are more instructive than attractive.
The old adage that children and fools
tell the truth" is a familiar one. The pious
owner of the New York Mail ana Express
is not a child; but he has proved that he
comes within the purview of the proverb by
letting out some choice statements of facts,
which the public would have lost had they
been in the CUSTODY of a stronger brain.
Col. Shepard's famous declaration after the
election of 1888, that $50, 900 was expended
to purchase votes in New York which really
did not pay for the investment gave a rather
startling picture of the practice of politics
among the ultra-P Pharisaical plutocracy.
He has just added a companion picture to
this aprop0s of the divisions of New York
politics and the necessity of keeping clear
OF alliances with reform Democrats.
The very religious editor frankly tells
how the leader of New York Republican
ism made bargain with Mayor Grant by
which the number of police justices was to
be increased to fifteen, and Mr.. Plat was to
have one of the new justiceships for follower.
On this agreement, Plstt secured the passage
OF the bill, but the unscrupulous Grant

THE HOME OF INCIDENCE.
REV. eEoReE HODGES DESCRIBES THE
CITY OF GoNDoLAs.

Features Which Are Most striking to the
Eye of the Wandering American st.
Marks With Its Magnificent Music and
Stately Ceremonia1s.
WRITTEN FOR THE DIsPATcH.1
THERE are no cabs In Venice. You get out Of
the train into a gondola. There is no other
place like Venice anywhere and Venice begins
even at the door of the railway station, Down
you go marble step or two, and you are at the
water. and a gondoIa is waiting. 1t is like
crossing the threshold of dream. We spent a
week in Venice, and when we came away and
leftthe palaces and canals behind us. it seemed
as if we had been out OF the world somewhere,
and were just getting back again into the
nineteenth century.
All visits to Venice begin and end in gon-
dola. You take gondola to your hotel; and
when you are ready to depart, and the land
lord, and the PORTER. and the head waiter come
out to bid you an affectionate farewell (and to
receive your parting fees), you look your last
upon them from the cushioned bench of gon-
dola. The best thing in Venice is the gondola.
From rowboar, Venice would lose half its
charm. But to sit softly in this gently swaying
cradle and be propelled by the silent oar of the
gondolier, and look up at the marble palaces on
either side, is to enjoy sensation worth trip
across the ocean.

A STRIKES FAILURE.

The last echo of the New York Central
strike was heard last week in the statement
that the late strikers were hocking back to
the positions have been filled. THE DIS
PATCH gave full attention to the refusal of
the New York Central management to arbi-
trate, and to its violation of the principle
professed by Mr.. Depew, that employees
should not be discharged for belonging to
labor organizations. 1t is pertinent, in
view of the fact that the strike has lost some
$500 men their positions, to point out the
illustration Of the principle often stated in
these columns. that a strike without good
assurance of success, is an ofense against
the interests of labor.
The New York papers are teeming with
the moral lessons of the strike and the folly
of striking. They carefully conceal the
fact brought out by the inquiry of the State
Arbitration Board, that men were dis
charged for their prominence in labor
organizations, contrary to the profess
sions of Mr.. Depew; but they are
not the less correct in saying that the
SeQuel SHOWS Tue sLTlke W nave Uteu WTOuS
Labor leaders should understand the re-
sponsibilitv that rests upon them, not alone
to be sure that strike is founded in justice;
but, beyond that, to refrain from that species
of industrial war unless there is at least a
reasonable prospect that it will succeed.
In this case, while the aggression on the
part of the corporate management has been
pretty well established, the strike has been
even more hurtful. The men vino went on
strike have lost wages, and the majority of
them have suffered the more irretrievable
loss OF employment. Nothing was gained
by the strike to offset these losses. What
ever construction may be placed on Mr..
Powderly's letters in other respects, he was
night in the view that if the Knights of
Labor were Obliged to fight the New York
Central, they should wait until they could
make the fight to the best advantage.
The failure of the New York Central
strike is a new illustration of the rule often
demonstrated before, that in the interests of
labor strike should be not resorted to till
every other means fails, and then only when
there is fighting chance of success.

o tie Cattle Shows God-send
To the man who goes a-gunnlng
For an office! o it's funny.
When q candidate is cunning,
Just to see what execution
He can do-in what short order
He can bag his votes by dozens
And with nothing but ''soft-sawderir
Mark how eloquent he wakes
O'er the beauties Of prize pumpkins,
How he kisses all the babies,
And hobnobs with all the pumpkins;
How he praises up the bed-quilts
And the cabbages and onions,
While he asks with accents tender
All about the farmers bunions,
With what rapture he enlarges
On the trauscendental heifers!
How he hangs In 10y ecstatic
O,er the hog-pens, while the zephyrs
Blow unchidden thro' his whiskers,
Laden, evrry breezy yagrant
With an of ring for his nostrils
That is anything but fragrant!
How he raves o'er rutabagas.
How he takes on o'er tomatoes,
With what reverence he gazes
On big squashes and potatoesl
ohe's reckless with his tafy!
But the biggest hit that'smade is
And he spreads it on the thickest-
Whenhe compliments the ladiesl
To the ''agricult'ral int'rest"
His devotion ills utter.
Hear him blow about his battles
In the past for 'honest butter!'

To see what fond affection
Folks develop for the farmer
Just before the fall election.

A Description of the Graf.

a GoNDoLA is a long and rather large boat
of the color of pirates flag Every gon-
dola in Venice IS as black as black hat. Some
centuries ago it seems the rulers of the state
noticed, with concern, that there was great en-
ulation among the citizens, each trying to make
his gondola fairer than his neighbours, and to
that end spending noIittle ill-oonsidered money
upon gay paints and trappings of metal and
embroidery, whereupon a law was passed that
all gondolas should be henceforth of sober
black, and black they have continued to this
day.
The station is left behind, the voices of the
legion of idlers on the bank beside the station
door grow pleasantly dim in the distance, the
gondolier stands in the stern and rows in his
miraculous fashion with a single oar. On
goes the long boat between the great old
palaces, whose glory is now long departed;
beneath the Rialto interesting for its associa-
tion with certain Merchant, who bartered for
pound of flesh once here in Venice, and got
deservedly defeated; around the sharp corners
and sudden turns of the tangle of lesser canals
which intersect the city in every direction;
under the Bridge of Sighs at last, between the
palace and the prison, and SO out into the open
water where the la2oons meet the Adr1atc,
and up to the steps of the hotel. There is no
journey equal to this IN any itinerary. The
Rhine is nothing to it. The Grand Canal is the
finest river in the world.
