Matinee at Cordray,s Today.

There are many reasons why the ladies OF
Seattle should turn out en- masse this afternoon
TO enjoy the special attractions provided by the
Cordray management. In the first place, the
drama will afford study of marriage without
love, under very peculiar circumstances. In
the second place the auditorium programme is
studded with amusing acts. Chief among these
are the clever performances of the intelligent
dog, Tom, under the direction of his comical
owner. Mr.. Ed Sylvino. Tom knows his
friends, and can discover an enemy a mile off
she understands every word that's said, aud he
knows good milk from water and chalk"
Many In the city are old acquaintance of dog
Tom, and he is held in honor because of his
reputable character as a gallant canine gentle
man. He has saved the lives of ladies and men
several times NJ the risk of his own, and is
blind in one eye today from his strenuous eff
forts TO save human life. He is the pet OF the
children and the admired of the ladies, and
pursues the even tenor OF his way with less
bumptiousness than the every day dog tramp
There are many other features in the audi
forum bill that will contribute to the amuse-
ment of the audience, and which call for liberal
patronage

THE VICTORIA EXCURSION.
Hundreds Unable to Get on Board the
Victorian.

The excursion to Victoria yesterday on the
new steamer Victorian, given under the auspices
OF st. Marks church, was decided success.
The crowd of excursionists who swarmed TO the
dock was too great to be accommodated by the
steamer, although she took 500 on board. Ar
rangements were made with the City of Kings
ton by which about 400 more made the trip on
her. The Victorian left the city dock about 9
a m. and reached Victoria at 2:30 p. m. The run
was made without accident, although quite
number OF the passengers were somewhat sea-
sick The steamer left Victoria for the return
trip at p. N. and reached Seattle shortly after
IL. About 400 remained over until 8 o'clock
and returned on the City of Kingstons, which
reached Seattle about o'clock this morning

THE FIGHTING LADY MANAGERS.

The latest Worlds Fair difficulty is be-
tween the lady managers. They have gotten
themselves into beautiful snarl over the
methods of Miss Phoebe Couzins, their Sec
retary, and have attempted to srraighten
things out by declaring her office vacant.
Miss Couzins, of course, objects. This is
but natural for obvious reasons, in one of
which salary plays an important part 1t
is not altogether certain which side is in the
right, but it is very evident that the ladies
are not alive to all the possibilities of their
positions as part managers of great enter
prise. Men are admittedly prone to quarrel
over questions relating to power and other
matters of like nature, but ladies are popu-
larly supposed to be above such pueriIe con-
tentions. Some such idea was expressed by
the ladies themselves when they were first
proposed as managers, but they must have
been mistaken.
The ladies have lost great opportunity.
Had they continued to conduct their affairs
in an amicable manner until the successful
termination of the big show, they could
have crowed over the managers of the
sterner sex. There would have been good
reasons for their exultatiou. But the
chance is gone, never to return. Aside
from its semi-comic aspect, the squabble
is of importance because it will delay work.
This is unfortunate. Too much time has
already been wasted, and the ladies should
not have allowed their tempers to cause ad-
ditional Delay.

THE PHYSICAL CULTURE VETO.

Governor Pattison's veto of the bill to
enforce the study Of physical culture in the
public schools of cities will undoubtedly
meet with the approval OF all thinking Cit
izens. As the Governor says in his veto
message, "There is more requirement at
present for simplifcation of the modes Of in
struction in the public schools of the Com
monwealth thar for onerous additions
thereto" This is exactly the position taken
bv THE DISPATCH in discussing the matter
this day week. As things are now, there
is too great tendency to increase the
number of studies, and check cannot
tail to be salutary. or course, the public
schools cannot be lifted to too high plane;
but indiscriminate additions to the course of
study is not conducive to good results. The
scholars now have quite enough to occupy
their attention, and any addition will
necessitate their partial neglect of all.
1t may be claimed that physical culture is
not of the same nature as mental culture
and therefore will not conflict. That the
natures of the two are different is certainly
unquestionable, but the conflict remains.
The matter of time is the chief thing to be
considered. The public school course is
limited both by natural and artificial laws,
and full university or college course can
not be successfully pursued within that
limit
A thorough training in the fundamental
studies will do more toward making intelli-
gent citizens than the requirement Of
smattering of the higher branches; and while
physical culture may not come under the
latter designation, it is one which must give
way to those publicly supposed to be of
greater moment. Physical culture is un-
doubtedly beneficial, but the making of it a
compulsory study like grammar or arith-
metic is impossible under existing circum-

THE INDIAN PROBLEM.

A good deal Of fun has been poked at the
Government over the failure of the attempt
to enlist Indians as soldiers. But the ques-
tion, What shall we do with the savages?
is, bv the failure, left unanswered. This
view does not seem to have presented itsel.
to the jolzers, but it is worthy of some at
tention. Had the Indians enlisted, they
would have been raised from the position of
paupers subsistlng on the Government to
that of men earning their own living. The
scheme was one of the very few attempts TO
ameliOrate the condition of the savages,
and for that reason alone is worthy of some
thing better than jeers.
The red men seem willing enough to serve
as scouts, hut scouts, except in actual war,
are not very numerous. Some Indians have
been employed in this capacity for years,
and generally found trustworthy. This
leads to the belief that, so far as loyalty is
concerned, they would make good soldiers;
out their refusal to enlist ends all specula-
tions on that point. What will be done
with them is now a matter of conjecture.
They cannot be allowed to remain in their
present condition. The country is growing
up around them too rapidly for that, and
while they NAV not have been altogether
wrong in the recent uprising. the safety of
white settlers demands that the savages be
rendered unable TO avenge real or fancied
injuries by bloodshed. They are not dying
of with a rapidity in proportion to the
increase of the whites, and unless some pro-
vet cause trouble.
How to prevent that trouble and at the
same time do justice to the savage is the
problem before the Government to-day. On
lis answer depends the lives of many set
tiers and the prosperity of a growing portion
of the country.

LEGISLATION AGAINST SMOKE.

The bill empowering cities to enact ordi-
nances for the suppression of the smoke nui-
sance, after passing the State Senate, was in
troduced into the House yester jay, and
afirmatively reported. 1t will undoubtedly
pass the House all right, and when it goes
before the Governor will receive his sigma
ture. The only danger to the measure is
that it may be neglected until too late for
passage this term. This must not be. The
demand for some legislation on this subject
comes not only from Pittsburg, but from
every other city and town in the State. Too
much time has already been wasted since
THE DISPATCH first called attention to the
smoke-evIl, and now that the first steps
toward securing remedy have been taken,
a halt must not be called until the cure is
complete.
There is practically no opposition to the
bill. Everyone recognizes the necessity of
giving the cities the right to control the
smoke stacks within their boundaries, that
clearer skies and better health may be OBJ
tanned, and great loss of money averted. The
bill is, in its way, as important as any now
before the Legislature, and the general pub
lie is awaiting its final destiny with inter-
ested patience.

THE REBELLION IN INDIA.

England's present troubles in India have
been attributed to Russian interference by
some, and to religious fanaticism on the part
of the rebels by others. Either IDEA may be
correct. There is also a possibility that
Eugland's course with regard to the opium
trade NAV have something to do with the
matter. For years the high-caste Hindoos
have objected to the opium traffic, and so
far England has allowed the financial side
of the question to predomInate over the
moral. The leaders of the present rebellion
are, of course, high-caste natives, and their
antagonism to the traffic may be the under
living cause of the present trouble. This
view gains much from the fact that the re-
bellion is not confined to the district in
which it started, but is spreading. Started
over an apparently unimportant dispute, it
soon assumed serious proportions, and may
yet tax the ability of England to cope with
it.
Ifit can be shown that objection to opium
is the cause of the rebellion, the English
Governments decision, made public on
Monday, not to appoint a committee to in
quire into the traffic, seems open to criti-
cism, and it is likely the opponents of
the Government will take advantage of it.
The opportunity is toe good to be lost =

They like the Emperor little, but they like

NOTHING YET FROM ITALY

According to latest reports, Italy has not
yet received Mr.. Blaine's reply in full.
Financial circumstances, over which the
Italians seem to have no control, are blamed
for preventing the very interesting matter
from reaching its destination. This is too
bad. Had the Secretary thought that the
belligerents at Rome were too poor to pay
cable charges, he no doubt would have paid
them himself. King Humbert and his
Minister really should not ask questions at
such long range if they are unable to pay
Joll on the answers. 1t is not expected that
the cable companies have any other than
3 pecuniary interest in the matter. But
does 1t not seem rather strange for a nation
to have taken such decided stand as Italy
did. and then not be able to learn that it is
in the wrong?
When the italian Government does re-
ceive the reply the comments it will evoke
will make very interesting reading. We
are sorry that we cannot give them this
morning, but the fault is not ours. 1t is
Italy alone that is to blame. When the
italian opinion is expressed, however, we
will be able to pay tolls on it, if it can be
sent under the seas with safety to the cables.
