having occasion to use the machines has
serious cause of complaint. 1t is difficult
to say whether the fault is in the manage

better service is universal THE GAZETTE
does not care picayune about where the
fault lies, but it does want it remedied, and

An Erroneous Statement.

The Kentucky Advocate of July 5, pub

which needs correcting. Referring to the
death of F. B. McBrayer in this city some

having been '.foully murdered" Mr.. Nc
Brayer, as is known in Fort Worth. was
not murdered at all, but came to his death
from injuries contracted in falling from the
tin roof of one-story building, where he
was in the habit of sleeping in hot weather
1t was supposed that he was intoxicated,
and in a state Of somnambulism fell from
the roof to the alley, where he was found

LAW AND ENFORCEMENT.

Representative Stewart has taken an
early start, in view of the reports about
the appearance of bogus coffee in the
market. He has introduced bill impos-
ing a fine of not less than $500 or imprison-
ment for not less than year, or both at
the discretion of the court, on any person
who sells an imitation or counterfeit of the
coffee bean, or who mikes any other in
gredient in ground coffee This is intend
ed as a warning to the coffee counter
feiters that if the people of Pennsylvania
pay for coffee they have the right to get
coffee.
The principle of the bill is uneXception-
able; but one or two practical questions
arise with regard to its application. First,
the thought suggests itself that it is no
worse to sell people bogus coffee than
to sell them bogus spices or any of a
thousand food and drug adulterations. If
a special act is needed in one case why not
in all of them? That brings out the
second suggestion in the fact that the
State already has statute forbidding the
manufacture or sale of bogus butter; and
vet that commodity is sold in all our lead
ing cities by the thousands Of pounds
This makes it very pertinent to inquire
whether laws to protect the people from
swindles Of this sort are likely to amount
to anything more than an addition to the
large volume of dead letter legislation.
The two considerations together present
the following pertinentinquiries: Is there
not already law enough on our statute
books to prevent the sale of food adulter-
ations and counterfeits if it was enforced?
Would not a legislator who desires to pro-
tect the public against such swindles ae-
complish most by directing searching in
quiry into the question why the laws are
not enforced?

ALLIsONs FINANCIAL IDEA.

Senator Allison's last interview on the
condition of the United States Treasury,
and its ability to pay off the remnant of
the four-and-a-half per cents, is an inter-
esting indication of the way the financial
minds Of the last Congress are letting
themselves down easily. At the close of
Congress the Republican assertion was
that the appropriations and disbursements
of the coming year would leave balance
of about $50, ,OOO, 900, which could be used
to retire this debt.
Senator Allison makes no such rash
claim as that, now. On the other hand, he
places the surplus in the Treasury at the
beginning of the fiscal year at about
$50, 600, 600, and he proposes to stretch this
to pay S5O,OOO,OOO of bonds, by the
following ingenious means: A large share
of these bonds are owned by the national
banks to secure circulation. When the
banks surrender them they must deposit 80
per cent of their face value in the Treasury
to redeem the national bank notes. The
Treasury, according to Senator Allison's
policy, can use these funds to make up
what is necessary to pay off the bonds, and
thus avoid encroaching on the greenback
reserve or other trust funds. 1t is true, as
the Senator admits, that these deposits are
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1891-05-18

intended for the redemption of national
bank notes instead of bonds, but the ma
tional bank notes come in slowly, and be-
fore they are all redeemed the Treasury
can make up the amount from some other
source.
Only two comments are necessary on
this remarkable proposition. The first is
that the deposits to redeem national bank
circulation are trust fluid as much as the
greenback reserve or the deposits back of
the coin certificates. The second is that
if any amount of them are used to redeem
Government bonds the encroachment can
only be made up in future by an excess
of revenue above expenditures. The
Senator's fine plan therefore brings out
two facts: First, that the extravagance
of Congress has brought the Treasury to a
pass where it must use money belonging
to others if it redeems its maturing bonds;
second, that this resort will only lead from
bad to worse, unless the policy of the last
Congress is reversed and expenditures are
cut down to a less amount than the reye-
nues.
There is really no question that the re-
sources of the Treasury are ample to meet
all demands on it. But Senator AlliSon's
remarkable plan for getting through the
next fiscal year is a striking indication of
the direction in which public extrayagance
is leading us.

PITTsBURG, MONDAY, MAY Is. 1891.
THE PTCN5C MURDER AGAIN.

The picnic cutting affray and murder
puts in an early appearance this year. A
tragedy of that class, at McKeesport, forms
one of the leading items in to-day's news.
Affairs of that sort may differ in the de-
tails: but the vital features can nearly
ALWAYS be predicated merely from the state
ment that one has taken place. A gather
ing for what ought to be pleasure, is Stimu-
lated by excessive liquor; drunken ARRAY
breaks out; concealed weapons are brought
into use; and if the fruition is not muir
der it is due to a merciful interpositlon OF
a kind providence.
Such murderouS affairs, occurring with
a grim periodicity, take on rather hope
less tinge. There does not seem to be
any way of cutting off the inspiring causes,
and vet with those causes at work the pro-
portion of murderous affrays goes on as II
i'm obedience to natural law. 1t will not
do to forbid outdoor gatherings for enjoy
ment, but when that is granted the idea OF
a certain class that every festive occasion
requires drunkenness and brawling, is in
vincible. Given those factors and GER
tain percentage of murders is the result
as inevitably as a certain percentage OF
fruit from the blossom.
OF course the penalty of law must follow
such crimes: and there is a faint hope that
the infliction of such penalties will check
the crimes But there is at present, among
those who indulge in picnic brawls
and murders, a sublime faith thai the law
will never reach them.

THE WEATHER AND THE FRUIT,

The frosts of the last two nights have
again aroused the interest and anxiety as
to their effect ON the fruit crop. After a
wear in which the fruit crop was practi-
cal failure, the public has keener under
standing of what the loss Of fruit crop
means than ever before, and awaits with
keen interest the results of each adverse
event Investigations, the details of
which are given elsewhere, show that more
harm was done on Saturday to the grapes
than to any other kind of fruit. Near the
river the damage was heavy; farther back
the amount of fruit killed was not serious.
Other fruit as rule is too far advanced to
be injured by ordinary frost; and SO the
prospects are favorable for good fruit
yield, so far this year. At present the
danger to fruit and agricultural crops from
the prolonged dry weather is greater than
from any other sources. If we can have
rains, the frosts will soon become COM
paratively trivial matter.

One of the Fat Mans Miseries.

Perhaps there are O great many people
who know great many things who do not
know how fat man sits down. We lean
people, says the Detroit Ne,os, who, unless
from an aesthetic motive, do not have to
make study of the art of sitting down, cam
not appreciate the difficulties fat man may
have in placing himself in q chair. He can
not, as we do, swing himself to any frail
seat, turn with an easy motion, and, with
general and graceful collapse, be seated E.
W. Voygt whose known weight is SlS pounds,
was recently carefully watched as he en-
deavored to seat himself. AS he approached
the chair he measured it carefully with q
trained eye. Then he backed up to it as he
would back up to cart. Looking over his
geographically correct. Then, with droll,
uncertain expression on his dumping
face, he bumped his shoulders and
scrooged up the small of his back, thus
his hands at his sides little back Of him
and firmly grasped the arms of his chair, ana
a pleased expression came over that chubby
face. He leaned his whole body forward,
breaking at the hips, the chair presenting q
rear elevation something like the compli-
Gated caves of the roof of house or the
broken section of a cantileyer. He braced
himself for a mighty effort and began tug
ging resolutely at the chair. 1t was like pull
ling on tight boot, and this chair was q
very close fit indeed. But presently it went
on with snap, and again the clouds cleared
from his face. Slowly and carefully he set.
tied back on the floor, pushed himself well
back in the heel, and the fat man was in his
chair. Getting up Is another task for this
fat man. He must not arise with thoughtless
celerity, for then he will prance about the
room with the chair firmly attached, pre-
senting anything but decorous appearance.
He firmly grasps the arms and removes the
chair as he would pull Off a congress gaiter,
and then the fat man is free again.
