A big scandal, involving more than
one member OF the administration,
may be the outcome OF the Itata bust
ness. II is whispered in inside circles
in Washington, that the opinions OF
certain people-the matter is entirely
too serious to- use names upon no bet
Ter basis than rumor-have been in
fluenced both for and against the
Chilian insurgents by the receipt Of
large sums 81 money, which has ac-
curding to the story, been furnished
by certain parties in New York who
are heavily interested in Chilian COM
merce, and whose business rivalry is
thought by many To be at the bottom
IL all the trouble in that unfortunate
country. Certain it is that Balmaeeda
and the insurgents are both represent
cd in Washington by shrewd agents
aud lawyers, The latter Americans, and
the appearances Indicate that boil
sides are well supplied with none!
und that at least one side has paid bis
money for the right to use the new
columns Of certain newspapers. Tn

MIR. IVES REAPPEARAN6E.

The fact that Ives, who year or two ago
reached sensational downfall in his char
acter as Napoleon of finance, has come to
the front again in railroad operations, has
attracted wide commen- The general tone
of the remarks is that he is successfully re-
suming that class of financiering which bore
SO close relation to wholesale swindling
that it landed him in the penitentiary
when he failed to succeed in the deals.
An examination of his opening attempt.
however, fails to reveal that he did any,
thing illegitimate. What he did was to buy
the control of a very small railroad in
Northern New York, and then BY making
contracts with other lines. give the enter
prise an appearance at least of forming a
line of some Importance. As soon as it
began to assume the phase of possible COM
peting line the Vanderbilt policy at once
dictated the necessity of buying it up, at a
round profit for Mr.. Ives. In this we fail
to see anything to which financial morals
can object. So long as any great
financial power takes the position that
it will buy up competition in either rail-
road, telegraphing OF oil refining, it is le-
gitimate service to the public to supply the
monopolistic demand for competing con-
Germs until it is fully satisfied. If Mr.. Ives
does not attempt anything more dishonest
than this we may hope his experience with
the criminal law is fully satisfied.
We do not understand that in this opera
tion Mr.. Ives either used his corporation to
manufacture bogus securities, or set up in
side corporations to divert profits to his own
pocket, or created an artificial panic in
order to get hold of other railroad proper
ties at depressed valuation. He has prob
ably learned that no one can safely prose-
cute operations of that character who is
worth less than fifty millions of money.

LAWMAKERS AND LEADERS.

The scepter of Party Management Has Not
Yet Found Its Place Among the Repub-
licans of the eLegislature-The Democrats
Are Better Of-Prominent Men.
''Who will be leaders?" was a frequent ques-
tion when the Legislature met in January. In
both Senate and House, and from the ranks of
both parties, men more or less prominent had
dropped out by promotion, by the rotation in
office" idea so firmly adhered to by the voters
of the rural counties and some by November's
tidal wave.
In the Senate the charges were most marked.
Cooper, OF Delaware. for years autocrat of his
party in the Upper House. has landed himself
snugly into the Philadelphia collectorship of
customs. ReyburD, of Philadelphia, Chair
man of Appropriations Committee, is in Con-
gress as Judge Kelley's successor. Rutau, of
Allegheny, and Allen. Of Warren saw the nom.
inations go to rivals. Newmyer, of Allegheny,
Chairman of the Judiciary General is prothon-
otary of the Supreme Court for the Western
district. Watres, as Republican Lieutenant
Governor, presides over the body in which he
represented a Democratic district for eight
years. McAleer, OF Philadelphia. a leading
Democratic Senator, succeeds Uncle Dickey
Vaux" in RandalPs seat. Delamater-but that
story needs no chronicling Over his fortunes
the fates have made merry.

DEPEw,s PROBABLE CANDIDACY.

The intimation that Chauncey NJ. Depew
can, if he wishes, secure the New York
gubernatorial nomination next fall, is
wisely followed by statement of the re-
spectiye salaries received by the Chief Ex-
ecutive of the Empire State and the Presi-
dent of the New York Central Railroad.
Depew is not a rich man according to
modern views of wealth, and the difference
between the salary of $4,000 year he
would receive .as Governor of New York
and that of $50, 900 year now received by
him as president of railroad company will
likely cause him to think twice before en-
tering the contest. An attempt may be made
to overthrow the foregoing argument by claim
ing for Mr.. Depew the right to hold both
offices at once, but a little reflection will
convince anyone that the right does not
exist. As Governor OF New York, Mr.. De-
pew might, and undoubtedly would, have
to pass upon matters directly connected with
the welfare of the New York Gen.
tral. While not questioning the pro-
posed candidates honesty OF inten-
tion, we think, even in this age of cor
porative control, no railroad can afford to
attempt to seat its servant in a Governors
chair. The attempt would prove disastrous
to the party of the candidate, and its only
good point would be the drawing of public
attention, with increased interest, to cor
porate Vaccinations.
Should Mr.. Depew look upon the New
York kGovernorship merely as stepping stone
to the Presidency in 1892. we would remind
him OF the fact that precedent is an uncer-
tain quantity on which to count. While
we 90 not wish TO proDhesv, we are free to
point out that either Cleveland or Hill, both
New Workers, will likely be the Democratic
nominee. and in that case the Republicans
will hardly put forward nominee from the
same Stat. To do SO would undoubtedly
be poor political wisdom, the effects of
which would fall heaviest on the Republican
candidate.
MI. Depew would, if elected. make good
Governor and later on good President; but,
leaving out the question of his usefulness as
railroad servant, we think that his remark
able talents as ost-prandial speaker are TOO
valuable to be covered by the dignity popu-
larly supposed to surround chief executive
either of State or nation. And surely the
spectacle of Governor or President pranc-
ing around from one banquet to another and
talking like the oft-instanced blue-streak
would be promotive OF nothing but mirth.

PlTTsBURG, SUNDAY, MAR. /, 1881.
A TECHNICALLY NIGHTMARE.

The remark Judge Blodgett in sending
to the Supreme Court the case in which
Marshall Field & Co. attack the validity of
the Mckinley act, suggests some complica-
tions. That Chicago firm attacked the act
because the bill signed by the President was
not that passed by Congress, one of the Sec
tons having been dropped in the engross-
ing. The Judge ruled against the claim,
but took care to say he dtd so formally in
order to send the case to the Supreme Bench.
He also intimated there was good deal in
its presentation that was difficult to answer.
Of course, this is not saying that the
Supreme Court will declare the tariff bill
invalid, or even that Judge Blodgett would
do so ii he had the final decision OF the case.
But statement of that sort by Judge of
such standing is enough to show that this
claim Of inadequacy in the enactment
OF the law is not as ridiculous
as the public at large was at first
disposed to think. 1t suggests possibility
even if but slight one-that the act may
be set aside, and raises the horrid question
whether this would not leave the tariff and
revenue of the nation in a more hopeless
condition than the fragments into which the
meat ak of our State Supreme Court has left
the street acts. The bill was passed not as
supplement or amendment to former tariff
Jaws, and it repeals all acts or parts of acts
inconsistent Herewith. This looks In the
direction of wiping out all previous tariff
legislation. 1t scuns the mind with the con-
temptation of the mix that things might
come TO, until we remember one thing: The
validity ofthe law is attacked on the ground
that the bill was not properly passed. 1t is
virtually that the bill was not signed by the
President But ii the bill mad not been
signed and had failed for that reason, it
would have left the old tariff law in force,
and that will probably be the case if this
claim is upheld by the Supreme Court.
But even that would be bad enough. 1t
would not only be the work of q session
thrown away, but it would put the tariff
question back to where it was before the Nc
hinley bill was framed. Let US hope the
Supreme Court will show that Judge Blod-
gett's remark was only a judicial compli-
1nent to the cleverness of the plaintiffs

A WOMAN OF BUSINESS.
She Runs Her Husbands Shop and Pays
Him to Stay Away.

She Runs Her Husbands Shop and Pays
Him to Stay Away.
In an article for girls, entitled "What Can
You DoT' youths Companion tells Of woman
who had a good -for-notning husband, who let
his business run down until he was about to
fail, and says: 1.-THE wife was reused by the ne
cessity staring her in the face. She was DELI
cate in appearance, and not strong enough to
take in washing or keep boarders. Besides, her
home belongings were of the scantest.
"She went down to her husbands shop. She
said to the workmen. 4 am going to try to carry
on this business, pay its debts, and retrieve Its
fortunes: will you help meT They said they
would, with will, and they did.
. she wrote to each of tie creditors, stated her
intention, begged for little more time, and
such aid and support as he might be willing to
extend to her. Every one promised to wait, and
some offered TO continue needed supplies.
This little woman. mot five feet in height, and
weighing only about 95 pounds, was in the shop
early and late. At night and on holidays she
worked for her four children, the oldest of
whom was about II years of age.
I'm Is months she had cleared the business of
debt, and put it upon paying and reputable
footing. At the end of that time her husband
returned, out at elbows and with self conf
understook to carry on the business.
"As before, he was shiftless and imprudent,
and the result was that in few months had al
most undone all that the patient wife had ac-
conlplished.
FINALLY it was represented to him that he had
no head Tor business that his talents we're of
higher order and had finer field elsewhere.
He was persuaded to leave his business in his
wife's hands, his name only appearing in it, and
70 accept a stated stipend for staying away
from the shop
This he does, and his wife quietly manages
tue business that supports him."

COLONEL BROWNS BOOM.

A report of decided interest comes from
New York that the political machinery in
the shape of banquets, which Colonel Bill
Brown, formerly of Youngstown, o., now
of New York, has heretofore operated for the
creation OF harmony between the rival
Democratic leaders, was lately directed to
turning out a full-fedged Gubernatorlal
boom. Over many fagons OF sparkling and
dry wine, the boom was fully launched. The
great that even a Republican feaster was
carried away, and seconded in a glowing
speech the nomination OF no other person
for the Governorship of New York than
Colonel Bill Brown himself.
This is interesting as showing there has
uberance of Colonel Browns hospitality,
but it also promises an important demonstra-
tion on the value of certain political infu-
ences in the coming contest between the
freight-paying Jones. of New York, and the
dinner-giving Brown. Whether the fact
that Jones pays the freight or that
Brown fills the stomach and causes
the red liquids to circulate most
freely. will attract the most votes, de-
pends upon whether the commercial or the
festal considerations are strongest in New
York politics. 1t will, therefore, furnish
an important political or sociological test.
Moreover, contest between the Jones and
Brown forces will be surrounded by keen
interest, marred only by one regret in the
fact 10 which attention was recently called
in these columns that the Smiths do not
seem to be in it. ..-.- -
Possibly Colonel Browns political antag.
onists may deem this launching of his
Gubernatorial boom to be mere bluff, born
of the superabundance of sack to the small
proportion of more solid yiands at his feasts.
But it will be mistake to act on that
belief. The record which Colonel Brown
has won in the great American game,
whether of poker or politics, is that he is
most dangerous when his antagonists be-
lieve him to be blufing.

owners from going into cotton raising on

owners from going into cotton raising on
their own account.
$40 exclude the product OF other cotton
raising countries from the markets our
Southern cotton raisers supply.
Everyone knows that any attempt to ac-
complish these essential features of an arti-
fetal restriction of any agricultural product
is as impossible as for a man to lift himself
over the Atlantic Ocean by tugging at his
boot straps. Every cotton planter knows,
or ought to know, that any attempt TO re-
strict the supply of product, in which
there are hundreds of thousands of inde-
pendent producers, only means loss to those
who engage in it. This is what constitutes
the injustice of the industrial and corporate
trusts. If all producers could raise their
prices by artificial restriction, they could
keep things even by lifting all
prices equally out OF sight and
establishing reign of universal prosperity
by the device of universal scarcity and high
prices for everything. But as this favorite
method of monopoly can only be successful
under exceptional conditions the result is to
create a special privilege In favor OF those
who are freed from competition, at the cost
of the masses.
In reality Colonel Livingston proposition
is only serious and ampliied form OF Gen
eral Bragg's advice many years ago, that the
Southern farmers should raise more corn
and less cotton; more hogs and less hades,
The Southern farmers will follow the advice
according as each one is convinced that he
individually can make greater yield by
putting part of his acreage in another crop
than cotton. II the cotton production de-
creases it will be because it does not repay
the cost of producing it, or because more
profitable crop can be raised from the cotton
land; and the same may be said OF all other
agricultural productions. If trusts and
artificial restriction OF production were no
more possible in other industries than they
are in our agriculture, this nation would be
very much better off than it is at present.

An Instructor Talks About Them and

New York Evening telegram
You would be surprised" said a riding
master from one of the fashionable riding
schools last night at the Gilsey House, ''how
many ladies visiting New York bring their
habits with them and take their morning trot
either in the park or in the ring Physicians
have come to see the benefit of horseback
riding and are advising many of their patients
to try it. Some years back it was supposed to
be too violent an exercise for frail, delicate
women, and even if they did ride it was sim
gle-footer.'
Nowadays, 1 am glad to say, the ladies all
ride trained horses, and where can you find
such set of straight.backed, 1.-THE, clear
skinned, bright-eyed, healthy and athletic look
ing women as in New York; The best riders7
Why, naturally the Southern women. They
are brought up so to speak, in the saddle, and
seem to have the happy faculty OF becoming
part and parcel of the horse. Another thing,
they are Drawer than the Northern girls, and as
class ride more spirited horses, which, of
course, show them off better. There is the
greatest demand in the world for saddle horses
with good mouths, short, snappy trot and
plenty of life. They bring their own prices,
and it is a great wonder to me that some Of our
breeders do not turn their attention to them.
1t would pay handsomely. The best horses we
have now come from Canada"

FRANCES INSULT TO ROYALTY.

The fact that the ex-Empress OF Germany
was compelled to leave Paris to escape Of
Tense from the mercurial inhabitants of that
city is remarkable for several reasons. The
French have been extolled almost from time
lmmemorial as the politest people in the
world, particular stress having been laid on
the innate courtesy of the masses. Yet we
are now called upon to reconcile the pub
lishod accounts of incivility to a woman
with the French reputation for politeness.
Whether the visit of the ex-Empress had
any political significance or not does not
alter the aspect of the case a particle. The
proper MODE of procedure for the Parisians
would have been to ignore the visitor if thew
did not approve of the visit. France would
have been saved much humiliation by such
4 course, and the ex-Empress would have
been spared fright
Looking at the matter in another light, it
presents a startling illustration of
the instability of European peace. In
the past France and Germany have
warred on slighter provocation than
the insulting of member of one or the
others royal family: but that in the nine
IseE-=c century, when disarmament is
preached and continental peace seems to be
desired. two great nations should even think
ol gong to war over a trihe seems to be
hardly probable. There Is however, a DOS
sibility that such misfortune may ensue. If
the Emperor of Germany were to demand
satisfaction from France for the incidents of
the week issues that would greatly compli-
cate the political situation might arise, and
with the present strained relations between
the countries, war would be quite likely.
Leaving out the question OF any territorial
disputes between France and Germany, in
the matter under consideration France is
wrong. Occupying, as it does, the peculiar
position of a republic amid monarchies to
which a popular form of government is
hateful, France canRot afford to become
party to any quarrel that may brea6 the
peace Of Europe and gain erect French
throne. The Orleans fatily is so closely re-
lated to the reigning hOus es of Europe that

France would be defeated, Nuld be the at->
