NOT WITHOUT POWER.

The fact that number OF applicants for
wholesale license were refused by the Court
is raising a storm of objections. The de-
cision of the Supreme Court last year
that the Judges had not discretionary
power to refuse license of this description
has been relied upon by many applicants to
secure them wholesale licenses; and there is
no room for reasonable doubt that a good
many of those who applied for both kinds
of license intended if they failed of getting
retail license to conduct business of retail
description under cover of the wholesale
license.
The fact that the Court has not discretion
sry power does not prove that it has no
powers at all. If every application carried
with it the right 10 a license independent of
the judgment OF the Court, the hearings
would be wasted time. The Court is to de-
eide whether the applicant has established
the statutory qualifications, prominent
among which is that of good moral char
acter; and the discovery is now likely to be
impressed upon the public mind that the
man who makes practice of breaking the
law by illicit sales of liquor fails egregiously
in establishing a good moral character.
While it is not certain that the Court was
infallible, it is likely to be found that the
bulk of reflections of wholesale license were
well founded both in reason and in law.

NO DISPUTE NECESSARY.

There is room for suggesting the nee0
of restraining the tendency to make the
gifts of our public spirited people of wealth
the subject of unnecessary disputes. With
out more than alluding to the Carnegie
Library matter, it is pertinent to say that
the dispute over the donation of Mrs. Schen-
ley of a site for the Blind Asylum can be
avoided. Mrs. Schenley having seen fit to
offer particular site to the institution, it
certainly was not the function of the man.
ayers to reject the offer or to say that they
would prefer another location. Another
site might be preferable; indeed it seems as
if for that purpose rural neighborhood
would be better. But the managers of the
asylum were certainly acting within their
rights to take what Mrs. Schenley offered
them.
On the other hand the interests of the
city need not suffer at all. If the location
is needed for the main entrance to Schenley
Park, the city can condemn the property,
and with the money paid for the land
needed, the asylum managers can find
ground for their institution somewhere else
1t should be recognized that here are two
organizations each acting within their own
rights for the public welfare. Their inter-
ests may conflict somewhat; but the law
provides so clear method for settling any
such conflict that it ought to be possible to
get along without disputes. When such
splendid donations are being made to the
public it is not a matter for congratulation
that a quarrelsome spirit should arise
among the disputants.

POT HUNTING IN AFRICA.

The feat of some of the gilded youth of
our country in journeying to the interior of
Africa and returning with proud record of
two hundred elephants slain and left on the
plains of Masai-land, indicates that the
United States is repaying to the older hem
isphere the extinction of its buffalo by
European pot hunters which took place
after the opening of the Pacific railroads.
European comment is not unnaturally
quite severe upon the sportsmanship which
takes delight in destroying animal life for
no purpose except that of indiscriminate
slaughter. 1t is clear that if this sort of
hunting is kept up, the elephants of Africa
are as surely doomed as the buffalo of our
plains Hunting for ivory, to be used in
commerce, or to supply food for the popula-
tion of the district is legitimate. But, as
Stanley has pointed out, the ravages of hum
tiers have already driven the big game from
vast tracts of African territory, and is e1-
terminating what might be preserved as the
food supply for railroad labor and the popu-
lation of Africa Tor future years.
The civilized taste for wholesale slaughter
as sport ought to be restrained; but there
is degree of poetical justice that as the
Old World sportsmen helped exterminate
our buffalo, the Nimrods of the New World
are paying it back by wiping out the ele-
plants of Africa.

A HEALTHY SHOWING.

The figures as to the transfers of property
in Pittsburg and the recording of mortgages,
compiled by the Real Estate Record of last
week, give a gratifying indication OF
legitimate activity. During the first three
months of the year there have been 3,093
conveyances of real estate with total
valuations of 50, S63, 900. The average of a
little over $4,000 apiece shows that this
business was nearly entirely for the building
of homes with very slight element of
speculation. This is borne out by the
record of mortgages, which show that they
were largely 10 secure debts incurred for
Improvements. The total o the transfers, in
valuations, nearly equals that for the
last half of 1889, which was S11, ,S27, 900,
while the number of conveyances in
the former period was $40 against 1908 in
the three months just closed. These figures
demonstrate the legitimacy and healthiness
of the real estate movement, beyond a
possibility of question.

A WARNING.

The story told by the lady whose marriage
to an alleged Italian Count only q short
time ago, furnishes one of the local SEN
sations, by the multiplicity of its sensations,
completes the sensation by its revelation of
postnuptial experiences, with the reputed
nobility of Europe.
The object lesson thus furnished on mar.
riages for the sake of titles, on one side, and
money on the other, is powerful one. The
disclosures of greed and brutality and the
discovery that even the title which furnished
the sale recommendation of this adventure,
was not genuine. may not be reproduced in
every international match. But the case is,
nevertheless, a remarkable example of the
results that are possible from the pecuniary
notions that furnish the sole inspiration of
titled heiress hunters.
1t is certainly al impressive warning to
American girls, that marriages in which the
thorough acquaintance and mutual knowl-
edge that can only make marriage safe are
thrown aside for sordid or silly notions, bring
fearful hazards in their wake.

TRIuMPHs nF INVENTION.

Persons who think, as some do, that the
era OF progress in inventions must come to a
stop may find reason to change their orin-
ion from two OF the important inventions
reported in this issue of THE DISPATCH.
The first is Edison's invention for record
ing and reproducing waves of sight just as
the phonograph does with vibrations of
sound. The invention of the kintograph,
as the new instrument is called, is not yet
developed sufficiently to determine the full
range of its possibilities, but it can be pre-
dicted that the instrument will play an i'm
portant part in the civilization of the next
generation. The possibility of reproducing
both the voice and the appearance of one,
who at distance addresses you by this in
strument would be remarkable addition
TO the great inventions of the age.
Not less interesting and hardly less i'm
portant is the local discovery reported to-
day, by which one of our city physicians
claims the ability to determine and an
alyze stains of blood on steel. In the de-
lection and punishment of crime such dis
covery will be of immense Importance. DR..
Mundorf is a scientific man who does not
usually claim more than he can demon
strate; and it is fair to believe that his
analysis of blood stains on steel is an ac-
complshed scientific fact.
Two such inventions reported simulta-
neously are enough to show that the flights of
invention are at once more daring and more
successful then ever.

A COLD TEA PARTY,

There is a proposal before Congress to ap-
point Congressional Commission to inves-
tigate the liquor traffic. 1t is one of those
proposals which Congress is prone to regard
favorably, for the simple reason that it
means a junket for the commissioners at
the public expense. These Congressional
commissions are becoming more numerous
every year. They afford such pleasant
and cheap way for Congressman to get a
holiday tour through the country. The
very best of everything is not too
good for a committee of Congress.
They dine, wine, travel in palace cars,
smoke expensive cigars, receive the at
tention of local dignitaries with rare
condescension, and occasionally make casual
inquiries into the matter they are supposed
to be investigating, That is what the in
vestigation of the liquor traffic all through
the United States by Congressional COM
mission would mean. Congress is putting
on economical airs; cutting down highly

THE VALUE OF WATERWAYS.

The opening of the season of lake and
canal navigation is not only accompanied
by stimulation of business in the cities
along that line of transportation, but it also
shows its influence On the conditions of
trade and agriculture. With the water
route open there is no likelihood that the
farmers whose grain can be shipped that way
will be forced to burn up their products for
fuel, or prove unable to ship the most i'm
portant staples to market. The effect of that
great waterway is an example of what
might be done by an adequate plan of con-
Meeting the headwaters of the Ohio with
the seaboard. Such a route would give
cheap water transportation all the way
from the Missouri to the East. Under such
circumstances Kansas would not be re-
quired to burn its corn for fuel, nor would
the coal of Pennsylvania be restricted by
railway discrimination in seeking markets
either to the East or West. The project is
one of national Importance and should not
be lost sight of.

THE PORK CORNER

The pork corner, which jumped the price
of that staple yesterday from about $40 to
over S14, furnishes an example of the vice
of speculation. 1t was not necessarily deal
ing in futures that caught the fellows who
are to be pinched by the corner, but it was
dealing in futures without any intention of
filling the contract except by selling the
differences, or paying the bet, that made it
possible for the unwary shorts to be squeezed.
Another point thrusts itself on the at
tention. This corner would be impossible
unless the supply OF pork were somewhat
depleted. For the last few months the
country has heard a great deal about the
over-supply of corn, and the hardships of
the Western farmers by reason of the de-
preston of the price of that staple. THE
DISPATCH has suggested that matters for
the farmers might be improved if they con-
verted their corn into pork, instead of burn
ing it up. The conclusion is pretty well
demonstrated by this advance in the price of
pork.

UNPROPITIOUS WEATHER
Enables Queen Victoria to Put In Her Spare
Time on Tint Uniform.

Time on Tint Uniform.
IBY CABLE TO THE pIsPArCHi
LONDON, April 12-The clerk of the weather
has had SO many worries in America of late
that he has quite forgotten the fact that Queen
Victoria Is sojourning for the benefit of her
health at AK Les Bains, and has allowed her
rubicund royal features to be rudely nipped by
piercing cold winds instead of sending the
invalid Majesty the balmy breezes for which
she had bargained and to which courtiers con-
slider she was entitled. The court news man,
in the course of his daily duty, has been more
than once compelled to inform the world that
Her Majesty has felt the cold, and wall of
sympathy, with an undertone of loyal indigna-
tion against the clerk aforesaid. has been
heard through the length and breadth of Great
Britain. But il the weather in Savoy has
smacked somewhat of the North pole. it has
not been altogether without compensatipg ad-
vantages, for it has enabled Queen Victoria to
give more attention to the manufacture OF the
new uniform which she proposes to wear in
denance OF the unmilitary mold in which
nature has cast her, during her approaching
visit to Darmstadt, in virtue of her rank as Col
onel OF regiment of PrussIan dragoon guards.
Particulars as to the shape, color and texture
OF the uniform are discreetly withheld from a
tunic, which, we are graciously permitted to
know, is OF bright blue cloth, with red collar
adorned with gold stripes and the Queens
monogram in bullion. 1t cannot be denied that
this description is incomplete and unsatisfac-
tory. For the sake of the ladies who read The

the German tailors are working upon Colonel
Victoria Reginas uniform, but SO far he has
ANONYMOUSLY failed.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.i
SYRACUSE, April 12.-The Syracuse Confer
ence of the Wesleyan Methodist denomination
held its session near Chittengo station this last
week, and at the close of the morning service
four young men were ordained elders. After
the laying on of hands, according to the usual
custom, prayer was offered, during which
beautiful white dove few in at the door which
had been left open for ventilation, and alighted
on the open Bible on the pulpit. From there it
flew to and rested upon the heads of two of the
young men who were being ordained, then
upon the head of the eldest member of the
Conference, who was present, and then back to
the Bible. In few moments it arose and
rested upon the head of Rev. A. w. Hall.
financial agent of the denomination, and while
the Rev. E. W. Bruce, of Rome, was extending
the right hand of fellowship to those who were
ordained and expressing to them words OF
welcome and encouragement, it lighted upon
his head and remained there until he had
nearly concluded the ceremony, when it flew
back to the Bible and remained there until the
service closed. It was not at all frightened,
and all its movements we're voluntary.
1t is tame dove which had been raised in
the neighborhood, but had never been in the
church before, and came at that time of its
own accord. Its presence and movements pro-
duc1d feeling of deepest awe among the
congregation, and the scene will never be for
gotten by those who witnessed it.
