TERMS OF TUE DISPATCH.
PITTsBURG, FRIDAY, JUNE 10, 1891.
QUANTITY AND QUALITY IN vEToEs

QUANTITY AND QUALITY IN VETOES.
Governor Pattison in his time has writ
ten so many useful vetoes that the public
is indisposed to criticise thisspecial branch
Of service in which he is most distin-
guished. But, it is with vetOEwriting as
with anything else: attempts at great
Quantity result in inferior quality. Some
of the Governors recent yetocs do not
particularly commend themselves by their
logic An instance was reported yester-
dav upon a bill 'to prevent deception in
tie manufacture and sale of articles of
Eilded ware, and providing penalties for
the violation thereof.
The Governor admits rthat it would be
most desirable ''if by some species Of
legislation the public could be protected
from all tricks of trade" and then incon-
sistently goes on by his veto to prevent
protection from this particular 'trick of
trade" on the ground that it is enough for
the victims to have the right of action for
false pretenseS against those who swindle
them.
The insuficiency Of this line of reason
ing is that the Governor fails to recognize
that this Act and other Acts similar in
principle would set the machinery of the
law in motion, not merely to punish fraud
after commission, but to prevent its in
ception and consummation. The tTickster
in the market-place with fraudulent arti-
cles, waiting for the unwary, would find
the policeman's hand upon his shoulder
before he succeeded in effecting his SWIM
die. We do not see that there is any par
ticular hardship in law such as this; and
there is certainly nothing about it so dis
tiuctively vicious as to call in this hot
weather for the exercise of the Governors
energy on a veto of the bill, after the
Legislature had thought worth while to
pass it.
The only argument that could lie might
be that it is not merely fraud in ''the manu-
facture and sale of gilded ware" that
should be punished, but all species of deal
ings in bogus things offered for something
else than they are. The answer to this
manifestly is that a beginning in such
matters has to be made somewhere; and it
is not an uninteresting fact that the French
Government has found just such law as
the Governor yesterday vetoed a thor
oughly effective preventive of the sale of
imitation jewelry for the genuine-a line
of commercial imposture which is at
tempted boldly, and often successfully,
where such a preventive statute does not
exist

HANDLING THE oPINIoN'oF OTHERS.

1t is becoming entirely too common for
prominent politicians to be interviewed in
the evening only to find the following
morning their ideas entirely changed to
suit the interviewer. Congressman Mills
says he is the latest victim. Of course,
there are times when the interviewer
makes mistakes. Then again sometimes
the man interviewed does not like his own
words when he sees them in print, and
charges them up to the reporter. Yet,
again, there are cases where the inter
viewer maliciously peryerts the state
ments of a man to suit himself or to
'tmake HIT with his employers.
The latter are an offense to newspaper
dom. The standard of profession is too
often judged by the actions Of a few, and
it is thus that newspapers are sometimes
thrown into disrepute
Not long ago Pittsburg Judge of Com
mon Pleas Court said to an interviewer
that he never refused to talk to reporter
in this city because he found them to be
always honest in reporting his opinions.
This was high compliment whose value
is all the more to be appreciated because
it is not every-city whose press merits the
same tribute.

LUNACY IN A CAT.
It Had a Craze for Being Run Over by
Horse Cars.

Buffalo Express.1
The iovial driver was speeding along one
of the dark avenues where the electric light
is subdued considerably by heavily-foliaged
trees. just then q little fox terrier took it
into his head to give chase to a black cat,
which made straight for the street car, and
seemed bent on passing underneath it.
"What became of that cat2' inquired one
of the passengers who wondered whether it
was possible for member of the feline tribe
to get ground to powder in this way and no
sound to be heard.
'1t lodged and went from under again."
replied another passenger who had been
watching the movement.
Then it was the drivers opportunity to as
toniSh his audience He did so after this
fashion: "On my rounds on the Eastside
there used to be a cat that would sit out in the
middle of the track and allow horses and
car to pass over without budging an inch"
"Whatr' exclaimed an incredulous indi-
vidual, edo you mean to say that the same
cat used to sit regularly out on the street
and allow the car to pass overit without
getting hurt?"
Fact" replied the driver. ''Tbe cat
seemed to have u craze for that sort of thing,
and wasn't bit afraid. .of horses or car"
This, if true, is as striking an evidence Of
the intelligent observation of the horse as it
would seem to be proof of the lunacy Of
this particular cat.

THE ENGLISH HOP FLY.
It Is Playing Sad Havoc With the Product
of California Growers.

of California Growers.
San Francisco CALL
Some time ago hop growers along the Sac
ramento river noticed the appearance on
their vines of an aphis, which they feared
was the English hop fly. As soon as the
matter was referred to Secretary Lelong, of
the Horticultural Society, he detailed Mr..
Craw, entomologist of the board. to make a
careful inspection of the Sacramento hop
fields. He has recently returned with the
news that the aphis supposed to be the hop
fly is the common grain louise. He also found
the cabbage louise and the plum louise in the
vicinity of some of the hop-felds, but none
on the vines.
In August, $780, Secretary Lelong received
several packages of infested hop leaves from
Lane county, Oregon, which proved on ex-
animation to be the English hop fly. Com
munication was at once had with T. l..
Washburn, State Entomologist, who visited
several regions and urged hop raisers to
destroy all plum thickets, where the hop
fly lays its eggs, and from which they spread
to the hop vines soon after Matching. MIR.
Lelong suggests to hop growers in this
State to examine their vines, and if aphis is
found to communicate with him at once.
The cabbage and plum aphis can be easily
distinguished from the hop fly. They are
shorter and of a darker green color.

MODERN DOTHEBOY's HALL.
How a Yorkshire Schoolmaster Kept His
Boys In Perfect Line.
New York Times.1

New York Times.1
A writer in a provincial English cotempo-
rary gives some interesting "reminiscences
of the late DR.. Morell as a school inspector.
Here is a curious story which he tells of "the
mechanical ingenuity of a man in York
SHIRE" and which he declares Moren mar
rated to him in sober earnest. This York
shire schoolmaster. "on certain inspection
day, was to take a class for some subject
which forget. Morell noticed that the boys
stood in perfect semi-circle, and that each
boy stood exactly as his neighbor stood. He
noticed also that every few minutes the
master opened the lid of desk at which he
was standing.
'"This at last excited Morell's curiosity,
and he asked the master for an explanation,
which was exactly what the master wanted.
1t appears that this ingenious brother had a
wonderful piece of mechanism running
around the semicircle, with connecting
rod running up the pillar supporting his
desk. When he opened his desk it was to
touch a spring which brought the whole
mechanism into play, and every boy not
standing exactly as he should was pricked
in the calf by this wonderful contrfvance.
had a shrewd suspicion that Moren was
poking fun at me, but he assured me he was
not, and therefore tell the tale as it was
told to me-"

HOW HE GOT THE CHECK.
It Was DinkelspiePs Commission for Insur-

ing Senator Hearsts Life.
New York Evening SUM-
For several days it has been rumored that
William Dinkelspiel, a former agent of the
Equitable Life Assurance Society, had left
that company defaulter Controller John
A. Mccall, of the Equitable, denied the rumor
fatty this morning.
"That story probably started in this way"
he said. "Dinkelspiel was dismissed from
the employ of this company at least four
years ago. About two years ago he drifted
TO San Francisco. Our agents there are
Messrs. North and Waltz. One day Dinkels-
plel came in their Office and said that he had
insured Senator Hearst, of California in the
Equitable for 100000.
"He handed over Hearst's check for the
premium, and our agents gave him q check
for his commission, which amounted to
about S., 400 As the policy was large one
our agents telegraphed us what they had
done. We at once telegraphed back, declin-
ing the risk; SO our agents then had to return
Senator Hearst's check to him.
when Mr.. Waltz told Dinkelspiel of this
and asked the return of the S.. 400 paid him
as commissions, the latter declined to give it
up and said that he had disposed of it in the
same way. Waltz had him arrested and re-
covered, 1 believe, about 81 700 That is all
there Is to that rumor"
