CONCERNING EYES.
What They Are Supposed tn Indicate As
to Character and Ability.

What They Are Supposed to Indicate as
to Character and Ability.
Long, almond-shapede eyes, with thick
skinned eyelids that cover half the
pupil, are indicative of genius when
they are found in conjunction with q
brow which is full over the eyebrows
and which has one deep, perpendicular
line between the eyebrows. have
frequently noticed this combination,
says writer in the Boston Post,
in the faces of distinguished literary
men and artists. The almond-shaped
eye, however, even without this peculiar
form OF forehead, always means q sus-
ceptible, impressionable nature. Eyes
which are large, open and very trans
parent, and which sparkle with q rapid
motion under well-defined eyelids, de-
note elegance in taste, somewhat gus
ceptible temper and great interest in the
opposite sex. Eyes with weakly-marked
eyebrows above them, and with thinly-
growing eyelashes which are complete
without any upward curve, denote q
feeble constitution and q melancholy
disposition. Deep-sunlsen and small
blue eyes under bony, almost per-
pendicular forehead, are indicative of
selfish and cold-hearted natures. Eyes
which show not only the whole of the
iris but also some of the white, both
above and below, denote a restless, un-
certain nature, incapable Of repose or
concentrated thought ON any subject.
The eyes OF a voluptuary move slowly
under heavy lids. Round-shaped eyes
are never seen in the face of q highly
intellectual person, but they denote q
kindly, truthful and innocent nature.
Eyes which, when seen in profile, are
30 protuberant as to run almost parallel
with the profile of the nose show q weak
organization of body and mind. Eyes
of rather close penetration, but close
together, denote cunning and an un-
truthful disposition. Eyes rather far
apart show an honest and guileless nat
ure. When, however, the eyes are
very far apart they denote stupidity.
Eyes with sharply defined angles, sink.
ing ut the corners, show stupidity of
mind; the sharper the angle and the
more 1t sinks the greater the delicacy of
perception 1t denotes, but when very
much developed It shows also craftiness
amounting to deceit. Well.opened Dyes
with smooth eyelids and somewhat fxed
glance, denote sincerity. Lines running
along the eyelids from side to side and
passing out upon the temples denote
habitual laughter

be justified in passing an amendment to the
mechanics lien law, which will give them q
prior claim to the amount Of their dividends
on whatever vested interests may be created
BY their votes. Is not the laborer worthy of
his hire?
Yet there are intimations that this method
of obtaining political services under false
pretenses is not wholly without precedent.
Such a betrayal of statesmanlike conf
dence may explain that disappearance of

get it. is we'll known. Perhaps a similar
juggle may account for that alleged million
dollars which some one is reported to have
made out of the Smoky Island deal, and
which is now being sought for so earnestly
by Northside politicians.
Of course such frauds on confiding legisla-
tors strike death blow to the use of bank
checks and other modern conveniences in
the transactions of political bargain and
sale. Hereafter Legislators will have to in
sist on cash strictly in advance, or the

NOT YET DECIDED.

The announcement in an afternoon paper
that the Carnegie library site question was
settled, and that an ordinance has been in
troduced into Councils authorizing the use
of the park entrance for that purpose, is a
rather peculiar mixture of old news and pre-
mature conclusions. The ordinance to that
effect has been before Councils for some
time. 1t was the subject of very lively de-
bate in committee-duly published in the
Dewsps pers at the time-passed select branch
yesterday, but was blocked for a time in
Common Councils There has not been anv
decision by the Board Of Trustees to locate
the main library there, and decisive action
either for or against the site will not be
taken unit! Councils have offered the site to
the Board. 1t may, however, be said that the
indications are that if Councils take favor
able action, and If the legal questions raised
hy recent municipal events are properly
settled, majority of the Board of Trustees
will vote in favor OF the park entrance for
the central library site as well as for the art
gallery.

CORPORATE MULTIPLICATION.

The latest phase of financial opinion con-
cerning the regulation of railway abuses is
furnished by an article in the New York
Indicator. That representative of Wall
street sentiment gives the advice to the
Lehigh Valley road to ignore the decision
of the Interstate Commerce Commission
with regard to anthracite coal rates. 1t does
so on the ground that the decision can only
be enforced by the courts; that for the rail-
road to ignore the decision will put the
initiative of proceedings upon the commits
sion, and that this body "has shown great
reluctance in presenting to the courts the
constitutionality OF the power over rate
making which it has claimed"
This is the plainest statement yet of the
railway theory that the power created by
law for their regulation is to be ignored.
and that the law is to be nullifed whenever
it suits the railway policy. The same the
ory has manifested itself in divers acts of the
corporations since the passage of the Inter
State Commerce law; but it has hardly been
put into words so clearly heretofore. OF
course If no one has stamina enough to put
to the test the question whether the law has
enough controlling power over the railways
to correct discrimination so vital as was
shown in this case, the railways can con-
tinue to ignore with impunity. But it is
remarkable commentary that the feature of
the law which railway opinion insisted on
putting there should be the one which Wall
street is now resolving to nullify.
But in one respect the corporate world
reckons without its host. 1t is true that the
Commission has shown indications of
timidity with regard to the enforcement of
its decisions through the courts. If it de-
pended solely on the action Of that body this
scheme for nullifying its rulings might work
successfully. But it does not depend solely
upon the Commission to take the matter into
the United States courts. The complainants
before the Commission can call OF the courts
to enforce the ruling, if if is not obeyed; and
as it is a life-and-death fight, they will not
be likely to rest quietly under the railway
policy of ignoring the decision they have
won.
1t is certainly high time to have it settled
whether the law is of any value or not If
it is a dead letter the work of providing
some check on railway Determinations will
have to be done over again. If it is valid,
let the railroads obey it. What should not
be done is to let the matter 60 with lame
submission to the corporate policy of ignor-
ing and nullifying the law.

THE SYNDICATE IN POLITICS

When English syrdicates began buying
MP American brewerIes il was predicted that
the investors would take an active interest
in the politics o. the places where purchases
were situated. Seif-protection was the chief
argument OF the prophets, and activity of
the Prohibitionlsts was cited as a reason.
Springfield, O., now comes to the front with
a story thai will make the prsdicters feel
q glow of pleasure. The English capitalists
have decided that the proper administration
of syndicate affairs in that town requires the
Mayor to be in close sympathy with the
breweries To secure this the manager of a
syndicate brewery is thought to be the man,
and a strong effort TO elect him will be made.
Outside OF local interests. the matter is
worthy of some attention. In it we see that
the corporation idea of political control is
still in full force. The people are not to be
trusted to elect a man who would perform
the duties of his Office intelligently and
honestly, but the combination feels compe-
tent to supply one who would do both-ac-
cording TO corporate ethics. The belief of
the English in the superiority of their poll
tical methods may in course of time crop
out II the Springfield idea spreads. The
vulgar American way OF doing things
would then be abandoned, and elections
conducted on the refined principles dis
played at British hustings. If the syndi-
cate nominee wins, Springfield may not be
benefited, but the breweries surely will.
And what more is wanted?

THE TRUE POLICY,

A current item Of news represents pc
troleum circles of New York as greatly
amused over a circular of Mr.. George Rice,
of Marietta. Ohio. outlining a plan for a
combination OF independent producing re-
fning interests to create competition with
the Standard. The proposition may be the
subject of amusement in Standard circles;
but it is nevertheless true that policy such
as Mr.. Rice suggests presents the most
effective means for restoring the lost element
Of competition in the petroleum trade.
The item represents Mr.. Rice as proposing
''to form corporation out of my refining
and producing interests, pipe lines and
leases" That the word my" is probably
an Interpolation to discredit Mr.. Rice is in
dicated by the fact that he names Pittsburg
as a refining center. Mr.. Rice's individual
interests being at Marietta. O., a corporation
formed from them would not locate its re-
fueries at Pittsburg. But q corporation
formed OF the refining and producing inter-
ests of the whole oil trade would find P tits
burg its natural center; and this is the pol
icy for producers to follow to release them
selves from the control OF the market by the
Standard.
Mr.. Rice has been one of the most deter
mined and unconque-able opponents the
Standard has had. In maintaining his in
dependence against its constant enmity he
has demonstrated his energy and clear-sight-
edness. His support of the policy which
THE DISPATCH has constantly urged, proves
that it is the true solution of the problem
that confronts the oil producers.

BETRAYAL OF CONFIDENCE.

The Iron has entered into the soul of the
North Dakota Legislators. 1t appears that
a number of them in exchange for their un-
purchsssble votes recently received checks
payable after the passage of certain bill.
The bill was passed; but when the checks
were presented at the bank they were
handed back with the chilling remark that
no funds had been deposited to take them
up.
Such hagrant betrayal of confidence
was hardly to be regarded as possible, even
in the absence of honor among thieves. The
recent development in Canadian politics Of
d proposition Tor voters to take money of
bribers and then vote the other way was
supposed to be the most vital stroke at the
vested interests of money in politics. But
that remarkable scheme does not tear up the
foundations and take away all sense oi
security like this method Of inducing legis-
lstors to deliver the goods and then cheating
them out of The price. If this sort of thing

A GRAVE MISTAKE.

The events of Yesterday in the coke region
are such as to call for an emphatic warning
to the labor elements concerned. They
should understand that the cause of labor is
not to be served by placing it in opposition
to law and order, or by indulging in riots
the destruction OF property and personal as
ssult on offending individuals.
Entirely apart from the equity and wis
dom of the wage dispute in the coke indus
try, is the fact that there is line which all
soou citizens must recognize as the limit of
their action. That Is the line which debars
riot and law breaking. No man has the
right to advance his interests by attacking
those who do not agree with him or destroy
ing the property of those whom he regards
as opposing mis- prosperity. THE DISPATCH
has always upheld the right of workmen to
withhold their labor when they do not think
their wages are sufficient, to organize SO as
10 secure united action on the wages ques-
lion, and to use moral sussion to convince
other workmen thas they should not accept
lower wages. These are the legitimate
methods of working to maintain good wages.
But when it comes to pushing the labor cam
paign to the length of riot and assault, the
organization thai does that places itself in
antagonism to law and good order and must
suffer.
Such acts infict the worst injuryipossible
upon the cause of labor. They should be
stopped both for the sake of the whole COM
luunity and in the interest of labor itself.
The law must be upheld, and the labor or
CARNATIONS, as American citizens, should be
foremost in the work of upholdIng them.
