AIMED AT ALBERT EDWARD.

Sioux CITY Journal: The Prince of Wales is
not entitled to as much consideration as any
other professional gambler.

on he will get an education that viii fit him
to open up faro bank in this country
MINNEAPOLIS Journal: The Crown Prince
himself figures as q gambler with other
choice representatives of England's nobility,
and cheating at cards is the burden of the
unpleasantness.
NEW YORK World: "When it came the
Princes time to draw he said, I'm baccarat,
having got bad card" says the court pro-
ceedings. And His Highness can still say of
himself: "I'm baccarat."
= LOUISVILLE Courier-sJosrnal: British jury
men are getting too SASSY" for the Prince of
Wales. A British juryman, like q British
lawyer, should be content with such in
formation as His Royal Highness is willing
to give.
CHICAGO Neacs: Prince Albert Edward, Eng.
glands future King, is said to be fond of
tiger hunting in India. His experiences
with the domestic tiger may have been less
exciting, but. they are just now causing him
endless trouble.
MINNEAPOLIS Times: The Prince of Wales,
heir apparent to the throne, acted as
'rbanker' in the baccarat games where
Colonel Cumming worked his System" 1t
was the only position at the board the Prince
could obtain where he wouldn't lose.
BUFFALO Express: 1t is a sign of progress
that the scandal now attaching to the male
head of the English royal family is nothing
worse than a charge of gambling. A century
ago such an affair as the baccarat case would
have been thought too insignificant to
notice. - '-~-.''l7 z
NEW YORK Tribune: A royal visit to an En-
glish country house evidently means bac-
carat every time. The Prince can depend
upon his own set of counters, but not upon
his own set of players one of whom sue
ceeded in making it very hot for the young
bloods. ALI these things will move the En-
glish radical to Rabelaisian mirth.
NEW YORK Sun: Under very trying circun-
stances, painful, perplexing and extraordi-
nary, the Prince of Wales has proved him
self an honorable gentleman. Ii there were
no other grounds for criticising monarchial
institutions and aristocratic prestige than
his conduct at Tranby Croft, the case against
them would be hopeless.

'rNow that warm weather is here in earn
est would it not be a good idea to give up
Silcott, Tascott, the Itata, and the tin plate
factories until next fall?'' This suggestion
of hot-weather policy by the Washington
Post is worthy to be adopted with amend
ments. In the first place Silcott and Tascott
were laid away in peace some time ago.
Next, no heat has been generated in the
chase of the Itata, as she was obligingly sur
rendered. This leaves only the tin plate
question: and the suggestion that our par
tisan contemporaries should refrain from
overheating themselves on that score for a
season is calculated to command indorse-
ment of a weary public.

DEATHS HERE AND ELSEWHERE.
Charles Crosse.

Charles Crosse, an old soldier, died yes
terday at his home in East Tyrone. He was a Ger
man by birth, and came to this country about 30
years ago. He entered the service of Maryland
regiment of cavalry, and at the battle of Culpepper
Court House he was severely wounded in the head
by sword in the hands of a rebel. When he was
convalescent a we-dressed party came in contact
with him and made him believe that he was his su-
perior officer. Unable to talk or understand our
language very WELL the substitute broker made
him believe that he was going to transfer him into
name. The name Crosse forgot. and did not even
know the name of the man-of-war on which he was
enlisted. After receiving his wounds at Culpepper
everything seemed to be blank, and he could give
authentic account of himself after he left the
Baltimore Hospital, on which rolls he was marked
deserter, and owing to red tape he was unable to
get pension. His surgeon swore to the facts of
carrying him from the field, and his condition after
leaving the army attested to by his family ply
sician; but all was of no avail and he died depend
ing on the hands of others.

to the Governor, makes the adverse COM

THE PATH OF PEACE.

Youths Companion.1
1t Is SO hard to walk earth's toilsome way
Ever while slow moons wane. o. slow increase,
SO hard to follow duty day byday,
Leading us TO Gods peace!
o weary grows the heart and worn the feet
In the dull round of uneyentful cares
Yet there's q thought might make our service
sweet,
For God our toll prepares.
Lift up thy tired eyes! No cloud is spread
Betwixt thee and His heaven serene and pure.
He holds his hand above thy humble head,
Thy happiness is sure.
Then keep the courage Of thy morning prime,
And brayely bear the cross He lays on thee
'Tis but little space Of troubled time
In His eternity.
Remember. only in this pathway lies
Thy safety-once beyond It's sheltering bound,
What choking mists, what bitter tempests rise,
Where never rest Is foundi
Hard may be duty's hand. but 10, It leads
Out into perfect joy, where pain shall cease;
God sees thy striving, and thy patience heeds,
And thou shalt find His peace.

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
P1TTsBURG, SATURDAY, JUNE 6, 1891.
TWELVE PAGES
THE BANKS AND THE GOVERNMENT

The national aspect of the Philadelphia
bank wrecking disclosures is obtaining i'm
portance and is crystalizing into allega-
tions of somewhat definite form. Asser-
tons are made in Democratic papers,
based on remarks by Bardsley'S counsel,
that Postmaster General Wanamaker has
something to do in the matter, and could
if he would tell how il was that the Gov
ernment took no action after being in
formed of croOkedneSS in the bank man.
agement The public will be slow to be-
lieve this of a man of Mr.. Wanamaker'S
high business standing and public useful
ness But the charge shows the need of
public investigation as to who was re-
sponsible for the failure of the Govern
ment authorities to interfere If the
charge against Mr.. Wanamaker is untrue
Justice to him requires that the response
bility should be placed where it belongs
The Comptroller of the Currency, in the
same connection, has made an explanation
of his failure to act, which might be ade-
quate if the circumstances were different.
Briefly his explanation is that the law does
not permit him to close bank on the
information that the capital is impaired,
unless the impairment amounts to in
solvency; and the report that he received
did not show insolvency. Unfortunately,
however, this does not cover the whole
case. 1t was the duty of the Comptroller
on knowing there was impairment of the |
capital to order a searching examination,
which in the case of the Keystone would |
have disclosed that it was mere shell. |
This duty was especially urgent when, ac-
cOrding to published statements, he was |
the capital had been impaired by |
the grossest violations of the national bank |
act as we'll as of the principles of honest |
banking. That this duty was neglected
affords little assurance to the public of
the active and thorough protection of de-
positureS by the supervision of the Comp
troller of the Currency.
In the same connection the outline of a !
system of bank organization and regula- |
tiOn by correspondent elsewhere is of /
interest Many of the suggestions are
but it is doubtful whether as a
whole the English system, which is pro-
posed by our contributor, affords more thor

olSUtu MHtH IL Is lnOTOuSHly eu1OIceu.
The responsibility of bank officials is not
more clearly fixed in the one than in the
other. The Governmental supervision and
regulation provided by the national bank
ing act is more comprehensive and power
full Either system fails if its rules are
not enforced.
1t is a cogent fact that there has never
been failure of national bank by which
the depOsitOrs have suffered material loss
without clearly shown violation of the
law. This creates a very grave response
bility for the Government wherever there
is room for the suspicion that the enforce
ment of the law has been neglected or re-
IaXed, for any motive whatsoever.

ALTHOUGH the Blaines some time ago de-
MED the rumor of the engagement of Miss
Hattie Blaine to Mr.. Truxton Beale, the en-
gagement is now announced, and the mar

Though Oregon's Executive stands high on
his dignity when it comes to receiving the
President of the United States, says the Eu-
gene City Guard, yet there are times when he
prides himself on ''being a plain man." In
1877 he attended the centennial of the adop-
tion of the Constitution at Philadelphia. 1t
ended with a banquet, at which 500 covers
were laid Oregon's Governor was invited

"Oh. but YOU must come" said Kasson.
Governor Pennoyer agreed to attend II
Governor Larrabee, of Iowa, another "plain

Kasson went to. the Iowa Governors head
quarters to ask him what he intended to do.

will you wear a swallow-tail coata"
"Not much"
"Then we go together"
Governor Pennoyer and Governor LARA

When the feast was at its height and cham
payne was sizzling and walters wearing
claw-hammer coats were darting here and
there with savory dishes, the Governor of
Oregon cast his eye over the vast assembly
of diners, every one of whom was in evening
dress, and turning to his friend from Iowa
solemnly remarked: Governor, we are the
only men in the room who can be distin-
guished from the walters"
Governor Pennoyer's last appearance in a
swallow-tail coat was in 1856, when he was
teaching school in Portland. He wore it
when he attended church on his first Sunday
in the city, and was so abashed at the wide
swath he was cutting in the backwoods
town of the early days that he took the first
opportunity to present the coat to farmer
who lived near the town. n.

"I was calling the other day on a lady
whose 7-yearold son prefers his books to
baseball, and finds the joy of his new safety
bicycle less than the joys of a new book of
fairy tales" writes philosophic woman in

"Master Charley lay face downward on

LAWYER BARrINE's AGONY.
He Is Still Attacked With Awful Spasm
From That Terrible Cats Bite

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArCH.1
AsBURY PARK, N. j., June 5.-The case of
Richard S. Bartine, the lawyer of this city
who is dying at his cottage, over in Locch
Arbour, from the effects of q cat bite, is
the main topic of conversation at
the several resorts on this por-
tion of the New Jersey coast, and
letters and kilograms of sympathy and ad-
vice are pouring in from New York, Phila-
delphia, Jersey City, Brooklyn and other
cities. Drs. Kinmouth, johnson and Wilbur
have been in almost constant attendance
upon Mr.. Bartine since early this morning
He suffered terribly when attacked with
spasnis, and was with great difficulty held
upon his bed.
DR.. johnson said early this evening that
the case had not developed sufficiently to
show that it was genuine hydrophobia, but
his patient showed nearly all the symptoms
of that malady. There was no question that
his illness was caused by the mangling of
his hand by the claws and teeth of a cat
nearly nine months ago, and that his condi-
tion was critical.

~ Mr.. JOHN R. MCLEAN, proprietor of the
Cincinnati Enquirer, pops up again as pos
sible United States Senator, if the Democrats
should carry the Ohio Legislature this year.
As Mr.. Mclean resides. in Washington he
would be an appropriate colleague for
Brice, who represents Ohio in the Senate
while residing in New York But as every
Senatorial campaign of McLeans has been
blocked, in the election of Republican
Legislature this amounts to notice to the
people of Ohio that they are going to elect
Republican Senator this time.
