CHINESE NO FOOLS.

Their Adroitness in Smuggling Themselves
Across the Canadian Line.
Interview in Detroit Journal.l
"These Cinnamon who attempt to cross
the border are, in great part, comparatively
well to do. They have some system of
credits or exchanges-I don't know what
by which they can raise money when they
need it. If a Chinaman comes across the
river and has spent all his money he can
soon raise more. They frequently get
busted by having to give upall their money
to be ferried across, but in a day or two they
are flush again. There are lots of fellows
in Windsor who are ON the lookout for
Cinnamon who wish to cross, and as soon as
a strange Mongolian appears ON the streets
he is followed by from one to dozen snug
glers. The smugglers row them across,
land them on the deck get their money
sometimes as high rs Sl00-and row away,
leaving the poor Mongolians to take their
chances OH being run in. The Cinnamon are
beginning to tumble and now insist on
better arrangements. One smuggler took
Chinaman out in Il boat, rOwed him around
in the dark for u couple of hours and landed
him in Canada again, about two miles below
the starting point. The next morning the
Chinee spotted his man in Windsor and got
back enough money to pay his fare to To-
ronto, where he had friends.
"Nearly all the Chinese are well posted on
all the points of the exclusion law, and USE
all sorts of means to evade it. My experiI
ence has been that they are great dea
smarter than they appear to be-"

sAvAGERY IN CIVILIZATION.

The story of that Chinese and Indian
feud as it comes from the West, where a
Chinaman was recently killed by the
Piutes after being acquitted by the courts,
sounds like transcript from the records
of some savage country First, the Indians
kill a Chinaman; and the Chinese, unable
to secure justice, retaliate by horribly MUIR
dering several Indians; and so on until
the present situation, when the Indians
hold that they have got to kill several
more of the Chinese to get even. All this
might be attributed to the commingling of
half-civilized races if it were not for the
mixing up of the futile forms of law in the
feud. The savage combatants seem to have
had the idea that it was their duty to give
the law chance; but if it did not yield
the result they wished, they had the right
to take the law into their own hands. As
this is exactly the ground taken by the
leaders of public opinion in New Orleans,
it leaves the doubt whether civilization in
some spots is more than name.

he might have committed the murder un.
der excitement. But the real foundation
of this verdict, as of all other compromise
verdicts, was that the jury thought the
evidence pointed to guilt, but were not
quite sure enough of it to condemn the
man to lose his life.
The fact is that the evidence was of
doubtful nature. 1t was not only circum.
stantial, but it turned on scientific points
concerning which there was the usual dis
pute of experts. The notorious and alb
horent nature. of the crime disposed the
jury to make an example; but they were
not sufficiently sure that the prisoner CON-
mitted the crime to send him to death. So
they adopted the illogical, but comfortable,
course of sending him to prison for life,
with chance, if there is a mistake, of
having it rectified. Such is the nature of
juries

MARES NEST VENTILATED.

1t is to be hoped that the tempest in a
teapot over the letters and calls OF
Rev. W. C. and Rev. W. H: Roberts to
Lane and Allegheny seminaries, respect
lively, will be definitely settled by the
statement of the fofmer gentleman pub
Ished elsewhere. The statement is backed
by assertions of others so definite as to en-
tirely absolve him of any discreditable ac-
ton in the premises.
The facts in the case make a very frail
foundation on which to erect scandal.
A letter intended for Rev. w. H. Roberts
was delivered by mistake to Rev. W. G.
Roberts, sounding him as to his acceptance
of possible offer of a professorship in the
Allegheny Seminary. Shortly after, the
latter gentleman received an offer
of a similar position in Lane Sem
mary. To jump to the conclusio n,
as some people have done, that the Allie
gheny letter was used to secure the Lane
appointment is to accuse the Lane Trus-
tees of governing their action by the most
inadequate reasons. Fortunately, Dr. w.
c. Roberts is able to show that there is
nothing whatever in the charge, and that
the Allegheny letter had no part in the
Lane appointment. That the Rev. W. H
Roberts never got the letter intended for
him is one of the misfortunes attendant on
having a name SO similar to that of an
other man in the same profession
All of which leads to the hope that the
mares nest being duly exploited, the mat
ter will be considered as settled, and the
theological circles affected may pursue the
even tenor of their way undisturbed by
any further breath of scandal.

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PITTsBURG, MONDAY. JULY 6, 1871.
APPROPRIATION STRUGGLE.

The situation produced by the attempt
to suppress the liquor traffic in Alliance
Ohio, as reviewed in our correspondence
elsewhere, presents some interesting
phases. At present the peculiar aspect OF
the case is that in profeSSediy prohibi-
ton town of 5000 inhabitants there are
ninety places for the retailing of liquor in
defiance Of law.
At first this would be taken as merely a
case in which law was passed and left to
enforce itself. as has been the case with so
much preceding liquor legislation. But
on examination it proves to be the history
of the case that urgent efforts are made to
enforce the prohibition which the people
of Alliance have twice voted,
while the liquor men are keeping their
business going by an admiXture of
secrecy and fighting in the courts.
With that statement of the fight it does
not look to be so much fight between pro-
hibition and the use of alcoholic beverages
as a struggle whether laws passed by the
repeated approval of the majority of the
people shall be obeyed
The contest illustrates the difficulty of
enforcing prohibition legislation; but the
people of Alliance can comfort themselves
with the reflection that they are not alone
in this experience. During the same
period in which Alliance has been fighting
this fight Pennsylvania has been trying the
experiment of high license. While We
have been satisfied with the result as
whole we have had to recognize that there
have been periods when the speak-easies
or illicit liquor saloons have been abundant
here, with profusion hardly less marked,
when all things ara taken intO-cOnsidera-
ton, than in Alliance.
The fact is that all attempts to either
regulate or prohibit the liquor traffic stimu-
late the law-breaking propensities of
certain class, who regard such legislation
as an infraction on personal liberty. EX-
perience proves that regulation is gener-
ally more successful in conquering this
spirit than prohibition: but that presents
no reason why thoughtful citizens should
not wish TO see the laws obeyed as long as
they are laws.

INCREASE IN BEER DRINKING.
Comparative Figures for the Two Years
Ending with April 80.


Ending with April 80.
New York SUM-
The following statement shows the guam
titles of beer sold in the United States by
States and Territories for the years ending
April 80, $780, and April 30, 1891. The total
for the latter year was 30,O2I,O79 barrels,
against 20, 6,S20,95 for the year ended April 80,
1890, an increase of 3,2OO,l26 barrels. New
York leads in the sales for 1S90-9l, with q
total of 9,0SS 100 barrels, which is nearly three
times the quantity sold in any other State,
Pennsylvania being second with 3,11S,24s
barrels, and then follow in order: Ohio
1855, ,66S barIels; Illinois, 2,60S,9l6 barrels;
Wisconsin, 2, ,403, $40 barrels; Missouri 03S 1893
barrels, and New Jersey, I609, $50 barrels.
These are the only States in each OF which
more than 1,000,0C0 barrels we're Sold and the
total in these seven represents more than
three-fourths of the entire aggregate. Michi-
gan stands tenth on the list the sales in this
State amounting to 6C4 557 barrels. There
are only six States III which no sales are re-
ported. These are Arkansas, Florida,
Maine, Mississippi North Carolina and Yer
mont The figures indicate the extent of
the brewing industries in the respective
States and territories but do not show the
consumption of beer in each. The aggregate,
however. shows that on an average through
out the United States nearly half q barrel of
beer per capita is consumed.

They will touch no more punk to full DOW

BYLO LAND.

WRITTEN FOR THE DIsPArCu,l
When out of the West long shadows creep
And the stars peep out, shining band,
Our baby, weary of fun and play,
Goes out thro' the gates to Bylo Land
Oh, which is the road to Bylo Land?
BY the way of Grandpa's easy chair,
Or, better. by mother's loving arms,
With kisses pressed on the shining hair.
She nestles down with a weary sigh,
While the lashes touch the rounded cheek,
With her arms clasped close round mothers neck,
Who kisses the love she cannot speak,
o, wonderful spot Is Bylo Land,
To judge by the smiles on baby's face:
The angels must surely weave her dreams,
And lend to her of their wiusome grace.
o, baby, weenvy thy sunny lot
For we that older seldom see
The fowery path to Bylo Land,
Or meet the Angels that talk with thee.

their master in Rome. Public opinion within
that vast communion is being nodded con-
cerning this supreme question of the day

cular. 1t is well that we outsiders should

all these multitudes of the faithful are being

ONE of the features of the Fourth of
July celebration in Philadelphia strikes the
impartial observer as better in the breach
than in the observance. 1t consisted of
reading the Declaration of Independence
with sentences from it chanted by a chorus
The idea does not seem at all in harmony
with the character of the document. The
distinctive nature of the Declaration of
Independence is its sober, vigorous and
straightforward language. To interline
chants of its terse Anglo-Saxon is to reduce
it to the operate level, which is an incon-
gruity more inexcusable in Americans than
Verdi's location of "Un Ballo in Mascheran
in the Puritan town of Boston.

ONE GOOD INDIAN.

A Dusky Worthy in Real Life Who Equals
Any of Cooper's Heroes.
Fairfield (Me.) Journal.J
For many years John Sabattus, the last of
the Norridgewock tribe of Indians, lived
at Vassalboro. Here he spent the latter
portion of his days, and acquired the high
esteem of the white men far and wide. He
was tall man, over six feet in height, and
possessed of great strength and power of en-
durance. When General Arnold marched
his army on his celebrated expedition north
ward through the woods of Maine, John Sa-
battus was his guide The services he thus
rendered are by no means slight.
When this expedition was over he made
Vassalboro his home, and here is his grave.
No stone marks his resting place and it Is only
few of the oldest people around that can
identify the spot. Had some James Feni-
more Cooper written of him as Cooper did of
the Last of the Mohicans," doubtless an i'm
posing monument would have lowered above-
his remains.

Referred to the ID. p. 5.

To the Editor of The Dispatch,
would like to ask why citizens and tax
payers of the Twenty y-second ward are not
allowed police protection? II there is a
ward in the city that needs such protection,
1t is certainly the Twenty-second. Since
Schen1ey Park has become resort for loaf
ers and thieves the ward is overrun with
this class and people living near the park
should certainly be protected. As they
pay for such protection, 1 cannot see why
they should not ask that some of the "subs," !"
who stand on corners to see the Fifth ave-
nue. cable and Duquesne Traction cars run
into each other, be taken Off and placed
where they are of some use. II you can
answer this question, you will confer great
