 David Hall was in town yesterday evening with natural curiosity, in the
 shape of the hide of double-headed
 calf The calf was found at Minne-
 haha, and was from COW belonging to
 stephen Condron of Walnut Grove. Is
 was dead when found. Mr. Hall took
 the hide of it, for the purpose of hay ing if stuffed and preserved. There
 was . slight deformity in one of its hips, otherwise its body was perfectly natural with only four legs aud single body. It was possessed of two we'll formed and complete heads, joined to- gether, the point Of union being in the neck. The heads were provided with one month, two eyes and two ears, each, and in appearance, except as to the fact that they were united, were e perfect and natural as though they were single. Had they succe eded in saving 1t alive, it would have been ca- riosity worthy place in some museum.

WILL WITHDRAW THE BILL.

That the authors of the certificate of in
debtedness bill were not altogether certain
of the measure S merits, was shown by yes
terday's decision to withdraw it. After
having been forced through both legisla-
tive branches in spite of much opposition
from Pittsburg citizens, its fate will be a
surprise, even to those who knew its de-
fects. The chief of these were, as has
been shown in THE DISPATCH, its uncon-
stitutionality and lack of necessity; and
though they were rather long in making
themselves apparent to the bills friends,
they showed up in time to prevent veto.
What next will be done in the matter
cannot be foreseen; but if it should be de-
cided that extraordinary means must be
taken to pay for the street improvements
already made, it will now probably strike
the gentlemen in charge that the people
should be allowed to declare by vote their
confidence in the certificate of indebted
ness scheme. And if still another plan is
proposed, the hope is that it will have
more to commend it than the one just de-
ceased

A BUSINESS BASIS.

The movement of the striking workmen
to organize and contract for building work
should command public approval, except
for one consideration. Any effort as that
should be based on business calculations,
purely and simply; while cooperative
movements, started in the middle Of a
strike are likely to be inspired by enmity.
We believe there is good field open in
Pittsburg for skilled workmen, either car
penters, stonemasons, bricklayers, or all
three combined, to undertake the business
of taking contracts for performing the
labor of building, or for furnishing ma
terial as we'll Every such enterprise has
got to be conducted with skill and intelli-
gence or fail But if the right kind of men
take hold it will work a reform in the
building trade, and illustrate how labor
disputes may be avoided by making men
their own employers.
But if men go into an enterprise of that
sort simply to punish employers for wage
dispute, they will start on wrong prin-
ciple They should only do so after care
fully looking over the ground and con-
vincing themselves that they can do good
work at reasonable prices and make fair
profit.

FORTUNATELY nPRACTIcABLE.

A new terror in the line of cornering the
money market takes the exact shape of a
gold lookup. One of the inventive finan-
cial writers some time ago suggested the
noduS operasidi as follows:
With q margin of but $40 900 bold operator
could borrow from banks $5O0O,000 at per
cent, leaving the gold of itself, untouchable,
| to be sure, in the vaults of the banks as Sc
curity for itself. The banks couldn't touch
| it, the borrower wouldn't want to touch 1T,
and that system pursued by dozen clear
headed men would soon lock up such guam
| titles of the precious metal as to cause rush
upon the Treasury of the United States for
its gold, which, in turn, being locked up,
would send the price within a month, to a
premium of 20 to 30 per cent
As sequel to this delightful little
theory for convulsing the money market
and paralyzing legitimate business, para
graph reports that ..'ten bankers in Wall
street had put up $50, 600 each to pay the
interest on S1OOOO0,O0O of gold" which
they are going to lock up for 60 days.
Only two comments are necessary on
this proposition. First, the idea of borrow
ing gold and making the bank lock it up
is only possible when the bank is a party
to the conspiracy. A man may be able to
borrow money for sixty days at CLIO of 1
per cent on good collateral; but no bank
in the ordinary way of business is going to
hold the specific money which he borrows.
1t simply undertakes to honor his check
for the sum he borrows in current funds.
To suppose that banks will do what is
suggested involves two things. First, the
banks must be especially anxious to re-
duce themselves to a condition of suspen-
sion. An increase of S25, ,0o0, 900 in loans
or decrease of So, 600, 900 in reserve sends
the rate of money in New York up toward
the panic line. But this proposition sup
poses that the banks will go ON loaning to
an amount that would wipe out their re-
serve. The next supposition is that they
will be so anxious to create a convulsion
as to violate the national banking law.
That law forbids bank to loan more than
one-tenth its capital to any one bor-
rover. This proposition proposes they
shall lend more than their capital to a
single syndicate, without security, for the
beggarly profit of CLIO of 1 per cent If
the object of keeping out of the hands of
the receiver were not important enough to
prevent such a conspiracy the preserya-
ton of their charters might be.
No doubt there are men in New York
reckless and ignorant enough to enter on
such Black Friday sort of speculation
and throw the finances of the country into
convulsions on the desperate hope that
they might make something. But it may
be taken for granted that the banks are
NOT so enamored of panics as to give their
active participation to such scheme,
without which it would be impossible.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1891-05-24

had made contract giving Coke Bros. a
public rate, the same as that enjoyed by
other shippers, it would be legal. But the
preference of the corporate methods for
placing themselves in defiance of law is so
marked that the road which furnishes the
relief makes the contract rate secret one,
and commits violation of the Interstate
Commerce act beyond all question.
1t would have been difficult to find more
varied expression of the conviction of vari-
GUS great railroad corporations that it is not
necessary for them to obey the law. It
remains to be seen whether those charged
with enforcing it share the conviction

SMOKE Is DECREASING.

This mornings contribution to smoke
literature contains some things of great
interest. 1t seems that the cause for com.
plant is disappearing, while the lost ordi.
nanceS have appeared. Both facts are
pleasant to chronicle, as is Chief Bigelow's
statement that he will take action if the
matter is brought to his attention properly.
This is, in measure, victory for the la.
dies, and should stimulate them to greater
efforts. THE DISPATCH, which com.
menced the crusade, is glad to aid them in
their work for clearer skies. =.
The extracts from Chicago report show
that much benefit has been obtained in
that city by the use of smoke-consumers.
The same and really greater benefits in
proportion can be secured here. Our re.
cent acquaintance with the sky's bright
blue has shown it to be preferable to
leaden gray, and consequently the latter
will not be endured. Let the good work
go on, and to the ladies, all credit

PITTsBURG. SUNDAY, MAY "a, 1891.
THE TEST OF EXPERIENCE.

The time seems ripe for remarking that
the grand plan of preventing bank fail
ures, by the issue Of Clearing House bills
and thus pledging every bank in a given
city 20 protect any one that may be subject
to a run, has not been exactly vindicated
by recent events in Philadelphia.
When our esteemed Eastern cotempo
raries last fall were sounding the praises OF
this device for drawing the teeth of none,
tary panics THE DISPATCH took occasion
to remark that its real usefulness might be
limited. To sustain by the united strength
of banks one that was recklessly or dis
honestly managed would be simply to ex-
tend its unsoundness TO the entire banking
system. Banks that demonstrated their
soundness might be aided in that way; but,
as they rarely need it, the doubt remained
whether it was wise to put into operation
a plan to relieve incompetent or dishonest
banking of the natural penalty of failure
and extinction.
The Philadelphia case affords an emf-
nent illustration of that principle Here,
the financial system of Pennsylvania was
called in TO aid an imperiled bank. 1t
was done on the plea that the bank was
really solvent, and the aid extended sue
ceeded in poStponing its failure some
months. But it did not succeed in avert
ing the final calamity, or in preventing the
rottenness of the bank management from
coming out. 1t may have permitted some
on the inside to escape loss before the crash;
and, on the other hand, the extended time
permitted other and innocent parties to be
drawn in. The most tangible result of the
scheme of combination seems to be that
statement of the defaulting City Treasurer
that the State deposits are represented by
a lot of clearing house due bills, which
have mysteriously disappeared, and would
be worth nothing if they could be found
This experience may convince our finan-
eial friends who We're so loud in their
plaudits last fall that the wisest plan is to
let each bank stand or its own bottom,
suffer its own penalties for mismanage-
ment, and enjoy its own rewards for good
judgment and honest policy.

THE SEDUCTIVE POLKA.
It Was Invented in the Year 1880 by an
Austrian Female Cook.

1t Was Invented in the Year 1880 by an
Austrian Female Cook.
Paris Gahgnani.l
The origin of the polka is being discussed
in some of the Partisan journals. The uni
versa1ly popular dance is said to have been
invented in 1890 by an Austrian kitchen cook,
who, finding herself dull in her kitchen,
sang and danced to the well-known measure.
The cooks mistress having surprised her
during the performance she was requested
to dance and sing IN the presence of the
composer, Joseph Neruda, who took notes of
the performance. The polka passed into
Prague, then to Vienna, and was danced for
the first time before the Partisan public by a
Hungarian artist at the Odeon Theater in
1s40 Plenty of animated polka music was
written successiyely by Lanner, Strauss and
Francis Hunai.
But the real polka mania did not break
out in Paris till the year 1874, when it was
danced with great success by q select few at
the Sale Valentino, in Rue SaintHOnore,
the premises now occupied by the Nouveau
Cirque. Crowds used to aoeemble round the
dancers to admire the different pretty
figures which composed the true polka
which was then acquired with great diff
Guilty, and was not the simple close of the
rushing dance at present known by that
name. So popular was the polka in Paris
not half q century ago that the dancing
masters had for clients ladies and gentlemen
of all classes, and even judges, lawyers and
doctors did not disdain to take lessons in
what was then considered as one of the
greatest requirements OF q ballroom dancer.
