style which aims at effectiveness In reach
ing its purpose. sttss
1t is interesting in this connection to OBJ
serve that the authority quoted as most
crushingly condemnatory Of newspaper
style has wholly disavowed the opinion
attributed to him. He has given on the
contrary a very laudatory opinion of the
literary style ofleadIng newspapers. This
critic evidently has the common sense to
perceive that style in writing, as in any
thing, lies in suitability to its. purpose,
and that the literary style winch does not
exist solely for effecting some end is as
empty and false as the. personal style of
Mr.. Turveydrop.
The Archdeaeon of Carlisle has better
excuse than the American critic for oppos-
ing newspaper reading. If the English
clergy read the newspapers much they
may be led into speaking evil of dignita-
ries; and from the standpoint of the church
magnates that would be one of the greatest
disasters imaginable.

RELEASES MIGHT DO GOOD.

The fall of Rome is not to be compared
to the fall of the Pittsburg baseball team
from the dizzy heights of second place to
a fight for rear guard. The team went
away every man wearing shining crown
of glory, but now all the stars in the ag-
gregation would not furnish glitter enough
to attract the eye Of Zulu chief. Some
thing is decidedly wrong. Mr.. O'Neil,
the pirate King" should look after his
buccaneers, or they will ere long be SO
well fortified in their present position, or
one notch lower, as to withstand all at
tempts to dislodge them.
Pittsburg people love baseball, as the
crowds at the games this season illustrate,
but the team must win an occasional
game. If drinking is the cause, the drink
ers should be rooted out at once. If
trouble is caused by internal dissensions,
the dissenters should get their releases
and all be taught that they have a man.
ager whose authority is supreme. Pitts
burg's ball team causes smile to spread
over the entire country.

A GUBERNAToRIAL MISTAKE.

It is to be regretted that Governor Pat
tison has allowed his frame of mind in the
direction of regarding legislative measures
with suspicion to lead him to veto the bill
authorizing cities to regulate or prohibit
the production of smoke. THE DISPATCH
has warmly commended the policy Of the
Governor in giving all bills careful scru-
tiny; but in this cease he has carried his
adverse attitude to an undue degree in
vetoing an entirely unexceptionabie meas
ure.
The veto is based on the belief that
cities already have the power "to prevent
practices noxious to public health and
safety" and the public has protection in
law and equity from public nuisances.
This may be true; and yet it is the fact that
the machinery by which these powers can
be enforced are inadequate to cope with
an evil of such widespread extent as
smoke in Western Pennsylvania cities.
We have in this case public menace of
distinct and peculiar character inficting
general injury, most positive in its pecuni-
ary character, and which the testimony
of experience shows to be capable of sup
pressiou only by such special machinery
as was applied in Chicago
The opinion of the Governor that the
bill is ''wholly superfuous for needful and
sanitary purposes" being thus erroneous,
the assertion that eff it is intended to
effect any other it ought not to be allowed
to become law" is an imputation against
the sincerity of Its trainers that should not
be made unless there is some foundation
for it in the provisions of the bill There
is some excuse for the Governor In the
ill-judged and unfounded suggestions,
made without sight of the measure, that
'it might contain snake" But as copies
of the bill show that any such misuse Of
the legislative power is carefully guarded
against, the imputation of ulterior motives
should at least have been accompanied by
a specification of the provisions that could
serve them.
An executive who faithfully performs
the duty of scrutinizing measures sub
mitted for approval is of course liable to
err; but it is very unfortunate that the
Governors error should have been made
with the result of killing a measure SO
decidedly in the public interest as this one.

A COMMON CARRIER QUESTION.
The Big Three Stockmen Seeking to Com

The Big Three Stockmen Seeking to Com
pei the Use of q Private Track.
CHICAGO, June 9.-The fight between Ar
mour & Co., Swift & Co. and Nelson, Morris
& Co. on the one side, and the Union Stock
Yards and their transit company on the
other, was taken up this morning by Judges
Tuley, Collins and Horton. The litigation
came up on a motion for an injunction made
by complainants to compel the stock yards
and transit company to allow complainants
to use defendants side tracks for the delivery
of live stock direct to complainants' private
yards, which can be reached in no other
way. Compiainants claim that, in so far as
it owns and uses tracks, the stock yards and
transit company is a common carrier and is
Obliged to allow the use of its tracks to any
one who will pay reasonable charge there
for.
The object of complainants in hav-
ing their stock delivered at their private
yards is to avoid the payment OF the alleged
excessive yardage charged by the stock
yards company. Defendants claim that
their tracks are solely for their own private
use and benefit; that they are in no sense
common carriers, and that they have right
to refuse the use of their facilities to per-
sons who are, in effect, their rivals in busi-
ness

ton, with view to proceeding against Mr..
Eust1s, who will be liable to a fine of 1000,
In case 1t Is shown that he violated the alien
contract labor law. As this law makes no
special provision for the return of pro-
hfbited immigrant after he has landed and
entered the country, the Treasury officials
are puzzled as to how they can now accom-
plish the return of Hewlett. One method
suggested Is that he be made party to the
proposed suit against Eustis, in which case
ne might be arrested under regular legal
process.

victory of last Saturday, called the conven-
tion to order, as he said for the last time.

remarks, stated the order Of business. This

the last hours of the campaign, concluded to
run as q delegate to the Constitutional Con-
vention, Notwithstanding the bill has not
become law. He wished the convention
to allow him the privilege of making an ex-
PLANTATION, which it finally did. The Chair,
in reply, said that the convention had no
power to take action in the matter. This
decision of the Chair prevented what would
have ended in big row, had the matter

WASHINGTON, June 9.-Superintendent
Backus, of the Genoa, Neb, Industrial Train
ing School for Indians, reported to the In
dian Bureau that some time ago he arranged
with the Oxnard Beet Sugar Company, of
.Oxnard, Neb., TO give employment to num-
Der of Indian boys of the school in pulling
weeds from their beet fields. The boys were
to receive the same wages as white help.
Since making this arrangement, ,:however,
Mr. Backus has learned that on June q
meeting of laboring men was held at Nor
folk, at which resolutions were passed pro-
testing against the employment of Indian
sor any other alien labor" as contemplated.
Since learning of this action Mr.. Backus
has decided to keep the boys at the school
and asked the Commissioner to approve his
action. The Commissioner, however, disap-
proved of his action in surrenderfng his
agreement and expressed his surprise at 1t.
The Commissioner, in speaking of the mat
ter to-day, said 1t was the policy of the Gov
ernment to make the Indians self-support-
ing as soon as possible, and when an oppor-
tunity offered whereby the Indian boys could
earn Something for themselves he thought
the opportunity should be made the most of.

holism Now in Litigation.
CHICAGO, June 9.-Some weeks ago a man
named Charles II. Dunham, reputed to be a
wealthy dealer in railroad supplies, but
about whom little was known, died Of alco-
holism at the Washington Home. Dunham
had lived in Chicago for some years, but it
was said that he came of good family in
New York, and that he'was wellknown in
society circles in Baltimore and Washing
ton. In his dying hours he was nursed by
an attractive young woman who claimed to
be his wife.
To-day, under the name of Dora f. Dun
ham, she was appointed administrator of
the estate in the Probate Court. Protracted
litigation promises to grow out of Dunham's
death, as his partner in the railroad supply
business, a man named Fem, claims to have
a bill of sale of all the property, made to
him by Dunham shortly before his death.
Mrs. Dunham's attorney declines to give her
maiden name, but says that she was a Wash
ington society girl; that she was united to
Dunham by a common law marriage in Bal
timore May l3, 1889, and that Dunham has
recognized her as his wife since that time,
not only in Baltimore, but in the fashion
able circles in which they moved in New
York.
