STOPPING THE ENCRoACHMENTs

The announcement that the river men will
enter proceedings against corporations and
firms who have been encroaching on the
water lines, looks as if actual steps are to be
taken to prevent the river from being
blockaded. This subject has been one on
which a great deal OF talk has been ex-
pended in past years; but the present move
neut is the first actual step to stop that
evil.
1t is a marked illustration of the loose
ness with which public interests are guarded
that the encroachments have gone on so
long and so uninterruptedly. When it was
evident that the practice of using the river
bank as a dumping ground, and thus
making additional real estate, could be pur-
sued with impunity, it was inevitable it
should become general. Indeed, we can
hardly visit any individual blame upon the

FOLLOWING the sensational appeal of the
Bering Sea dispute to the United States Su-
preme Court, the English Government is urg-

reciprocity. This might be considered as the
refinement of sarcasm in view of Mr.. Blaine's
efforts in behalf of reciprocity with the coun-
tries south of us.

SKATING IN THE PARK.

Large and Happy Crowds Glide Over the
Frozen Surface of the Lake.
The diminutive square of ice in Allegheny
Park was fairly alive yesterday afternoon, and
is every day that skating IS at all practicable.
Bright-eyed school girls and manly young stu.
dents were there in full force. often accompa-
MED by the everlasting little brothers and sis
tiers, who are such a nuisance always on an oc-
casion of that kind, with their perVerse skates
and utter helplesSnesS on the ice. But little
brothers and sister Notwithstanding, jollity
and merriment reigned yesterday, and was
greatest when the tricky skates played their
wearers false and caused downfall.

The comments of administration organs
on Commander Reiter's demand for court
martial show an evident attempt to misconstrue
that officers position. The New York Press
compares his demand to the position of a Kan
sas man who after he had been accused of
horse-stealing by a newspaper, refused to bring
libel suit with the declaration. Hang it all,
it will be proven on me then" But the Press
fails to point out the fact that Commander
Reiter challenges trial, which is radical diff
ference from the case which that organic CO.
temporary cites. A man who asks for full
trial certainly has the right to public hearing.

WORK OF A MISSION BAND.
Music and Tableaux in the Second Presby-

Music and Tableaux in the Second Presby-
terian Church Lecture Room.
"Oh, dear me" said little Gertrude Stead
man as she tripped out of her Allegheny home
yesterday afternoon, 'Ihave been over to town
every day this week. You see the Adelaide
Howard Mission Band, of the Second Presby-
te-ian Church, is going to give an entertain
ment in the lecture room on Friday night. and
am going to be in ever SO many of the tableaux.
l am to be Good Night" and in the Cinderella
wedding, and sing some songs. too, but I'm not
to be in the counting tableau. for in that it
takes lady and gentleman, you know"
And with a merry "goodby" the chatterer,
smothered in sealskin, her pretty face framed
with lu1uriant mass Of wavy brown hair,
matched in color by the brightest of eyes, gave
u parting glance and vanished.
The entertainment of which she prattled is a
Concert and Living Pictures to be given TO-
morrow night and promises to be q very pleas
ing affair. The young ladies composing the
Mission Band are the same who SO successfully
gave the Japanese Wedding last season.

THE CHEROKEE STRIP.

A Bill Providing for Its Being Thrown
Open by the Government.
WAsHINGToN, Jan. H.-In the House to-day,
Mr.. Mansur, of Missouri, introduced for refer
ence bill to throw open the Cherokee Strip.
Mr.. Mansur said that the Cherokee CommIs-
sion we're hopeless of coming TO an agreement
with the Cherokees and therefore this measure
was introduced. 1t had the practical indorse-
ment and sanction of the administration. The
bill was framed on the propositions contained
in the act creating the commission, which was
authorized to offer 81 25 acre for the land.
The bill recites the law by which the Govern
ment has a right to take the land and pay the
Indians AZ 49-l00 cents an acre, but it valves
the right and agrees to pay 81 Is. OF the
amount paid, S5000,00 is to remain in trust,
drawing interest at per cent; and So, 1000 is
to be distributed among the Cherokees en-
titled thereto under treaty stipulation. This
would give the Indians Sl0S per capita.

THERE is an aroma of pastoral innocence
in the remark of the Philadelphia Bulletin,
concerning the reorganization of the Sugar
Trust, that "the first thing the new company
did was to issue $50. 600 of stock and bonds,
showing that it is prepared to do business on a
large SCALE" Do business on large scale! We
should think SO. The stock-watering business
and the fleeing of lambs is now respectable
only when carried on in tens of millions.

THE argument of the Toronto Mail against
the preservation of the seal because that am
phibious animal consumes daily "a hundred
weight of food fish," credits the seal with the
eating capacity of the fabulous little pig who,
after eating a bucketful of swill and asking
for more, was put into the bucket and did not
half fill it. But what is our esteemed Canadian
cotemporary's authority for asserting that the
seal eats about twice its own weight in fish
daily? The story smells rather fishy.
