A rather good story is told, says the Wash.
ington Post, of an occurrence at swell society
residence in one of the fashionable quarters OF
Washington, few evenings ago. The lady OF
the house was showing visitor of her own sex
herself leader of the upper crust-some very
handsome photographs While engaged in
this way fresh caller arrived, and the hostess
asked the lady who was admiring the pictures
to excuse her.
"oh. don't mind me-" said the other. 81

IT is produced as demonstration of the
Republican fealty to civil service reform that
the Republican ward associations in Brooklyn
have Endorsed Secretary Tracy's navy yard re-
form. One association had the matter brought
up in the form of a resolution condemning the
Secretary's order, but voted it down by q to s..
1t would be pleasant to believe that this shows
the Brooklyn ward workers TO be earnest re-
formers; but such practical unanimity among
them is calculated to inspire doubt Is it not
possible that the wire pullers in the vicinity of
the navy yard have concluded that, notwith.

Sir Moreu Mackenzie Contributes an Inter-
esting Paper to The Dispatch.
Sir Morell Mackenzie, the great English
physician. has written special article for THE
DISPATCH, upon the amount ndcharacter OF
physical exercise most condutive to health and
longevity. He begins with babyhood and pre-
scrbes general rules for each of the seven
stages of human life.
The article is a carefully prepared epItome of
the results OF a lifetime of experiment and OBJ
servation on the part Of one of the foremost, if
not the foremost. man of his profession. II will
appear in The DISPATCH next Sunday. This
number willeclipss past efforts.

The London Tory papers are successfully
displaying their ignorance of American ques-
tons. The GrGphic's recent statement that
reciprocity will strengthen the propaganda of
the annexationists in Canada and Newfound-
land" is a hard blow for Sir John Macdonald
and Sir Charles Upper, who have been nego-
tiating for reciprocity between Canada and the
United States. The Globes assault on the edu-
cational system of public schools is a still more
determined effort to win the championship as a
demonstration of what the Tory organs do not
know about the United States.

IT is rather singular testimony to the
judicial abilities of one member of the United
States Supreme Court that both the Bering
Sea and lottery cases went over because Justice
Bradley had the grip. 1t was well known that
the vigorous old jurist had large supply of
judicial brains, but it was hardly supposed he
had such a monopoly of that important article
in the Supreme Court that important cases
cannot be heard without him.

THERE has been good deal more par
tisan slang-whanging at the Hon. Henry w.
Blair for his speech comparing the Chinese to
pestilential disease than the occasion calls
for. But when Mr.. Blair throws the somer.
sault from that ola position--implied in re-
cent speech declaring the United States to be
'Chinas natural ally" and "unselfsh guide
and counsellor"-he makes himself fair
target for such shots. The protean change of
Blair from one character to another is alto
gether too dazzling.

IT is again reported that the Illinois
farmers have perfected a plan to corner the
wheat market. The report is probably fig
ment of the imagination. Enough corners
have been tried in that State for the farmers
to know that if they should attempt it the end
would be they would have both the experience
and the wheat. while the other fellows would
have the money.

Judge Carpenter could not get fair hearing
before such a meeting. and he pledges himself
to brin- the case ''before the proper tribunals,

This is supposed to indicate an application to
the United States Supreme Court; but it has
stronger smack of Impeachment before the
Senate. At all events. it shows that Butler is
by no means suppressed, and promises rich
store of liveliness in future.

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PITTsBURG. WEDNESDAY. APR %. 1891.
NOT 4 SERIOUS MATTER.

The idea is now advanced that the new
street bill is detective because the phrase "a
majority in number and interest" fails to
define who are parties in interest. There
NAV be a doubt whether the lessee of a
property on a long ground lease, or the
owner, is the party in interest, and the
doubt on this point is thought by some to
indicate deficiency in the bill.
Even supposing this point an important
one, the difficulty it presents is minlmIzed
Dv the fact that its restriction will permit
the improvement of comparatively few
streets. except where the demand is so i'm
peratiEe as to command practically unani-
NOUS support for the improvement. But the
doubt is not serious one. The terror criti-
cised has been in use in street legislation for
wears; ana ii there are no cases in which its
exact meaning, as between owners aud lessees,
is defined, it must be because there has never
been any real dispute as to its significance.
Even Ii the doubt should arise in the
future, it would not invalidate the bill. 1t
will simply present case for the judicial
construction. There is no such radical defect
in this case as there is in the supplementary
charter legislation over the question whether
the legislature can ignore the constitutional
restriction on the increase Of city debt.

VICTIMS OF MISPLACED CONFIDENCE.


The members OF the Philadelphia delega-
tion who voted almost solidly against
placing the anti-discrimination bill on the
calendar nave pathetic grievance against
Mr.. Fow. Ii is now stated on their behalf
that Mr.. Fow urged that the entire delega-
tion should testify their fidelity 20 the cor.
porate cause By voting solidly against Civ
ing the bill thG empty show OF a place on
the calendar. OF course, they were willing
to display the collar in this way under Mr..
FOw's guidance. and on the understanding
that they we're to have his company. Judge
Of their surprise and injured indignation,
there lore, when Mr.. Fow at the last mo-
ment voted in favor OF putting the bill on
The calendar, thus leaving the Republican
members in the attitude of testifying a
while the willy Fow posed as supporter of
the bill.
If this vote could be taken to indicate a
change oi heart on the part of Mr.. Fow, the
public woulj be apt to overlook the cruel
deception Of his confding Republican col
leagues from Philadelphia. But Mr.. Fow
has served as legislative agent for the prin-
ciple that corporations are above the Consti-
tuition too lOrg FOR any one to accuse him, as
the Philadelphia Record says, "either of an
intent to desert the railroad interests or de-
sire to fulfil! his oath of Office" His vote
can simply be counted as a trick to make a
little cheap capital, and no corporation will
ieel any uneasiness over the probability that
he will use his legislative talents in pressing
the bill 10 actual passage.
As ior the betrayed Philadelphians, their
complaint is not calculated to arouse very
much compassion. According to their own
statement their readiness to serve the cor
porations, rather than support the Constitu-
ton, did not require very much urging to
stimulate it into action. Possibly the fact
that they permit themselves 20 be guided by
the advice Of Fow NAV explain the tendency
they have shown for voting on the wrong
side o. almost-eyery question. If they learn
wisdom by experience, and interpret that
statesman's advice by the rule of contraries
they may wake up some morning and find
themselves famous tor having once in their
lives voted right

Especial Cor. to State Chronicle

Especial Cor. to State Chronicle
LoUIsBURG, n. c., May 1S.-In the
report of the proceedings Of the Episco-
pal Convention, contained iu Saturdays
issue of the CHRONICLE, and claimed by
you to be digested from the baskerville
Citizen" there occurs a mistake that
should be corrected
In your report you used this language:
Judge Philips, of Tarboro, introduced
a resolution requiring that $500, be ap-
propriated from the general missionary
fund, for the maintenance of rector at
the North Carolina University at Chapel
Hill.
There was no such resolution intro
duced Judge Philips did offer a resolu-
ton to appropriate $500 for the main
tenance Of rector at the Chapel of the
Cross at Chapel Hill. That Church
has no more connection with the Univer.
sity than has any other church in the
village. The Episcopal Convention
would hardly have usurped the prerog-
alive of the State and University officials
| by attempting to send minister to look
after the spiritual needs Of the institu-
ton. The report is inaccurate and un-
just, and reflects upon the intelligence
of the convention aud of the gentleman
who offered the resolution, besides doing
material injury to the University.
Very truly,
+. s. SPRUILL.
| The CHRONICLE account was copied
from the usually accurate and correct
report Of the Asheville Citizen. We
take it that it was understood by all in
telligent readers that the resolution
simply intended to assist the few Epis
copalians at Chapel Hill to have an able
rector. The Presbyterians and Metho
dists assist the local churches, and w<
think that the Baptists also do or diJ
help to pay the salary of the pastor o.
this church. 1t is impossible for The
members of any church in Chapel Hill t.
pay salary sufficient to get the bes
talent; and every church in the Stat
ought to have one of it's best preacher
at the University -EDITOR
