by Uuentlles," most, u not all, of
whom hal been associated with the w.
called Liberal" party. The "Nior.
mons" had nothing to do with Il. The
ioading idea u IT, orginaiors was, that
while Utah's politics were simply a
struggle between local parties for
local supremacy, having no connection
with or recognition from either Of the
great national partlc-, her progress
would be ohsinictet and she would be
hiniered from attaining that great
meas aud prosperity to which she Is
entitled by numbers, wealth, intel.

A DisPRovED CHARGE.

A declaration of facts with regard to the
attitude of the State Department on the
proposition for closed season foS seal fish
ing is made by authority in the New York
Tribune. 1t furnishes very nearly de-
clsive answer to the charges of undue favor
toward the North American Commercial
Company made by the opposition press.
The statement is in brief that the propo-
sition to preserve the seals by closed
season, in which both England and the
United States should prohibit all sealing in
Bering Sea, was made by the United
States; that the British Government re-
fused the proposition at first, but lately,
aNer Canadian sealers had set sail for
theSeene OF operations, came forward with
an acceptance, and that notwithstanding
the protests of the sealing company, and the
fact that the Canadian sealers are on the
hunt for seals, the PROPOSITION will probably
be adopted as n1odus riUendi.
Ifthese statements are substantisted they
will disprove the attacks on the integrity of
the Department of State in conducting the
negotiations. 1t is matter of slight i'm
portance whether the seals are preserved or
lot, in comparison to the importance of
having the administration of our side of the
dispute kept above the suspicion of interest
or favoritism.

NOT A GOOD RECORD.

Up to the present time the record of the
Legislature of this State has been far from
creditable one There was reason for hope
that the lesson of last falls election would
teach our Legislative leaders the necessity
of sincere and honest action; but the course
of that body has shown that its controlling
influences are incapable of learning any
thing from expressions of the popular disap-
proval.
The record of the Legislature when it
comes before the people will contain some
spots that can neither be explained nor con-
doned. A measure to enforce the Constitu-
tion of the State and protect the people
against railway Determinations to which the
members were bound by their oaths, and
which the Republican party pledged itself
to pass in its platform four years ago, has
been absolutely stifed. This gives meas
ure of the relative power Of the corporate
and the popular interests in the Legislature
which classifes the body beyond dispute.
Another measure to afford some relief to
the petroleum producing interests of the
State against the exorbitant charges of the
pipeline monopoly met the same fate early
in the season, and disclosed the same condi-
tions of legislative allegiance to corporate
dictasion.
The bill intended to offer State aid to the
construction of permanent and durable
highways has, after much deliberation, been
emasculated so that it does nothing of the
sort; and the public which ardently desired
the era of better roads contemplates the i'm
pending veto by the Covering with in
difference If not with satisfaction.
The earnest disposition of this body to
do the things it ought not to do, and
leave undone the things which it ought to
do, has reached Its climax in the conversion
of the ballot reform bill into measure to
strengthen the control of political manipu-
lation, and to turn over the electoral ma
chinery to the inscriptions element. The
list of the members of the Senate committee
which stands over this legislative changling
shows that none of them were capable of
originating so bold stroke in favor of the
political machines. The measure in its
present shape affords the best corroboration
of the reports that the action Of this body is
shaped and dictated by unscrupulous POLL
ticians outside Of legislative walls.
q All of which discloses the prevailing idea
among our Legislators that neither common
honesty nor respect for the interests Of the
people are matters with which the law-mak-
ing body need concern ITSELF Past events
may tend to justify such theory Of action,
but such bold assertions of the supremacy
of politicians and corporations may bring
its remedy in future.

A MIXED-UP AFFAIR.

The escape of the insurgent Chilean
steamer Itata from the custody of United
States officers last week was followed By an
nouncements that the unmanageable craft
would be promptly pursued. But subse-
quent proceedings hardly carried out that
pledge. It was nearly four days after the
escape that the cruiser San Francisco left
the port after which she is named, and even
now it is considered doubtful whether she
has been sent on chase of which the quarry
has such long start.
This gives rise to two theories. One is
that the San Francisco could not get ready
for sea sooner. That is 30 grave an impeacb-
ment of the promptness of our naval vessels
when in commission that the mind prefers
the other theory. namely, that the admins
tration has doubts as to its right to recap
ture vessel on the high seas after it has
escaped from custody. The precedent of
putting single man on a captured vessel
and then letting the vessel 60 wherever it
chooses was fully established in the captures
of sealing schooners No claim has been
made of the right of the United States to
seize those insubordinate sealing vessels
wherever they are to be found; but it is true
that diplomatic laws are liable to very
different Interpretation in dealing with a
bellIgerent of very weak standing, as CON-
pared with vessels sailing under the British
flag.
On the whole there is nearly as much
doubt as to where the Government stands as
there is to the whereabouts of the missing
steamer. 1t is to be hoped that an early
discovery may be made on both points; but
the prospects are doubtful

RUSSIA AND THE RoTHsCHILDs.

The duel which is reported to be going on
In Europe between the most absolute en-
pire in the world and the kings of the 6nan-
cial realm is an interesting but as yet an
indeclsive one.
The Russian statement of the trial Of
strength between that empire and the Roths-
childs is that when Russia was negotiating
for new loan the Rothschilds tried to get
some guarantee for improved treatment of
the Hebrews in Russia. Failing in this,
the great bankers rejected the loan. As
Tetaliation Russia is reported to have made
sudden drafts on the balances held for her
by European bankers, causing stringency
and even panic; while the Nouoe Vrensya,
from which the above statement of the
dispute comes, claims that Russia has
means enough On hand to secure the con-
version of her debt.
According to this statement of the dis
pute, from the Russian side, the attitude of
the Rothschilds will command the SYM
pathy of civilization; while the Russian
Government seems to have ranged itself
obstinately on the side of medieval and
semi-bsrbarous ideas. As to the results of
the conflict go far, the fact appears to be
that while the Russian Government may
have been able to disturb the money mar
ket. it has not disturbed the Rothschilds.
Its policy of attack by drawing on its bal
ances will inevitably be the severest pun
ishment to the bankers which remain
friendly to it; and will have the effect Of

PITTsBURG. MONDAY, MAY. IL, 1891,
THE CELEBRATION AT THE PARK.

The idea Of an old-fasnioned Fourth of
July celebration at Schenley Park, which
THE DISPATCH set in motion last year, is
starting of with vigor this year that
promises to give the occasion the grandest
proportions. The idea is one which con-
tains such popular and attractive features
that it is likely to grow into g characteristic
Pittsburg institution for the future.
In a proclamation, elsewhere, full to
overhowing of the patriotic thoughts in
spired by a contemplation Of the national
holiday, Mayor Gourley summons all the
elements of the community to join in the
celebration. He eloquently calls upon the
press to advocate the enterprise, the mon
eyed interests to support it, and the people
to enjoy it. THE DISPATCH, having the
especial interest of authorship in the
project, is glad to respond to the Mayors
summons 1t is certain that all other inter-
ests will be quick to do their share to make
the occasion one of the greatest pleasure to
the entire population.
In many respects this years celebration
will present many advantages over lastyear's.
The opening of the Forbes street entrance
will make access easier for the thousands who
will flock to the park, while the completion
of nearly seven miles of roadway through
out that beautiful stretch of hill and dale
will make the enjoyment of that public pos
session far greater to the people. The
doubling, and, if the steam railroad counec-
tion is properly utilized, the quadrupling
of transit accommodations to the park will
swell the attendance. In all respects the
occasion bids fair to be one of the greatest
scenes of popular enjoyment that this Sec
ton has ever known.
Every one will gladly join in the work
necessary to make the celebration at the
park q grand success.

barant would get side smash at his adversary,
generally knocking him over. In some of the
more stubborn contests horns were locked for
fully ten minutes without single break, the
animals alternately backing each other and
straining every nerve to win, finally quitting
from sheer exhaustion.
Strange as it may seem. the animals seldom
hurt each other.

Taxidermy a Decayine Art.

There isn't the money in taxldermy that
there used to be-" said well-known taxiderm-
ist yesterday to a writer in the New York Ieis-
gram II don't think that there are more than
two taxidermists in New York city to-day who
make a living without having some other iron
in the fire. Fifteen years ago there was money
in the business. We used to get SO apiece for
stuff1ng pet cats and dogs. and could run OF
two and three day. There isn't any call to-
day for that sort of thing. Our principal sales
now are stuffed doves tor funeral purposes. We
sell about 1000 year. In the lower part Of
the city they bring 81 Is or II so apiece and up
town So apiece. A dove, you know, is really no
larger than a robin, and these so-called doves
are in fact, pigeons. Genuine doves would be
worth $40 a pair. Most of these pigeons are
bred Dy fanciers on the outskirts Of Baltimore
and marketed IN New York. We were the first
to introduce pigeons in New York to be used
for funeral purposes. That was in 1872 and at
the start we got So so for each one. We used
to turn out $500 a week. There are SO many
now in the business. however, that the price
has been cut down one-hslf.
Nearly every taxidermist does his own shoot
ing. He usually takes a run out to Long
Island in the season and shoots snipe and any
other game he comes across. Sometimes be
