BEAUTY As WILL AS QUALITY.


There seems to be dissatisfaction
among some OF the orange-gsowers in
regard to the rules of the citrus exposi-
tion. They object to the managers tax
ing anything whatever into considera-
ton for prizes but the quality OF the
fruit itself. They say that beauty ot
design or artistic display is altogether
foreign to the main question Of Gsaiiity
of the fruit, and that the fruit itself, If
only laid ont on plates or spread upon
tati.es, is sufficiently attractive to an
swer the purposes of citrus exhibition.
But why should the managers, who
have two-fold object, be circumscribed
in their efforts to make a fair successful?
Their first desire is to have the choicest
fruit that can be had; and, second, to
so display it that the attraction to the
general public may be emphasized as
much as possible. 1t goes without say
ing that ii all the oranges and lemons
that are SO beautifully worked into
striking and attractive designs in the
pavilion had merely been spread out
upon plates, no such public interest
could have been centered in the fair as
has been achieved by the fruit in combi-
nation with the designs. 1t is evident
from many of the displays that both
objects are accomplished in this fair,
and that some of the most elab-
crate and artistic designs are
wrought out in fruit that would COM
mand premium in whatever way it
might be exhibited. There is no sub
yerting OF the claims Of the fruit to the
beauty of design in this. There is
rather, we should say, an added merit
given to the fruit by the charm OF its
setting. The managers have done we'll
to consult the taste of the public in this
respect. The fruit-growers are few-the
public are many, and the greater the
attraction of the fair and the more the
visitors the better it is for all interests.
None will be better served by the ver-
dict of approval of the many thousands
of strangers who visit this fair than the
men who are directly interested In
orange growing.

the Town.
Gillette's breezy and clean broad COM
edy, All the Comforts OF Home, was
produced at the Grand last night by the
strong and finely fitting cast of the
Frohman company OF New York. There
is not very much intellect in the play,
but there is great deal of fun. 1t is
not strong in bright lines. in repartee,
or any sort of wit; but it is very strong
in the wholesome humor OF the thor
oughly ridiculous situations the plot
leads the actors into. There are half a
dozen women in the cast, all of fine
stage presence and of decided beauty.
All the cast is thoroughly we'll up in the
business of the parts, and the whole
production is artistic in the highest de-
gree.
Henry Miller is thoroughly well
! known here. and is a great favorite.
He plays the role of the hero of the play
| Kate DENIM Wilson was, twenty five
years ago, a prominent member of the
| famous old California stock company
| She and her sister, Susan, were among
the bandsomest women of the stage.
| Time has dealt gently with Kate DENIM,
and she is as adorable as ever; and Jack
Beresford Halls, the Victor Snythe OF
the All the Comforts castSis cousin of
Lord Charles Beresford, the English
naval officer of Condor and Alexan-
dria fame.
Sam Edwards is Californian, native
son of the Golden West, and as such the
record he is making is good one. As
comedian of unctuous humor. and with
an art true to nature, he has few equals
and fewer superiors.
The audience last night was a very
large one, all parts of the house being
filed to the utmost capacity. 1t was
decidedly intelligent gathering, too, and
the enjoyment OF the play was mani
tested in no uncertain manner.
1t will be presented tonight again,
also at the matinee tomorrow and tomor-
row night.

Too MUCH ia the way Of trade with
the SpanishAmerican republics must
not be expected from Mr.. Blaine s
reciprocity, nor from any other cause.
To divert trade from Central and South
America to the United States will re-
,uire a great deal of hard work
and a great deal of time. For half
a century the people of those coun-
tries have bought goods made
in England, France and Germany. The
consumer knows the goods mainly
by their brands. They are good goods,
well repaired and artistically put up.
The people generally are very loath to
change for goods put up in other forms
and under other brands. Then the i'm
porters have their connections all made
with the European houses. They give
long credit to the interior dealers, and
get as long from the English or French
shippers. Rates of interest are low and
the system OF exchange is perfectly form
ulated. If any one thinks channels
of trade worn smooth by many years
of use are easily closed, or the currents
of trade easily diverted into new, rough
and intricate channels, he does not
understand one of the simplest laws of
commerce. The merchants in Monte
video, Assuncion, Rio and Bahia will
raise all the difficulties possible in the
way of any change in the currents OF
trade. The shippers in London, Liver
pool. Bordeaux, Antwerp and Hamburg
will do the same. 1t is, therefore, most
certain. ssrr..aai;. that long years Of energetic,
wise and untiring work will have to be

UNIFORMITY OF THE LAWS.

The need of uniform State laws has at
last made itself apparent to legal minds
At recent meeting of the American Bar
Association in Boston a resolution was
adopted urging the passage by the Legisla-
lures of each State of an act for the pro-
motion of uniform State laws Such acts
have already been put in force by the
States of Pennsylvania, New Y ork, Massa-
chusetts, Michigan, New Jersey and Della
ware, and it is highly desirable that the
other States act promptly in the matter, so
that the present legal situation may be
somewhat simplified.
1t is proposed to secure an uniform
system by means of the labor of a commits
sion in which each State is to be repre-
sented by men most competent to deal
with the questions certain to arise. That
the work Of these gentlemen will be diff
cult and arduous is very evident, for there
are many differences of opinion regarding
laws which will be hard to reconcile. But
when the work has been completed minor
objections should be waived and the whole
legalized at once by each Legislature.
tits not to be supposed that the COM
mission will attempt to go farther than to
harmonic the laws relating to criminal
and civil procedure, for there are occasions
when the nature of the climate and soil
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1891-09-01

demands laws differing from those of other
localities, and uniformity could not be
made applicable in these cases. Fol. in
stance, the laws relating to water rights
suitable for localities where every drop
does not have to be economical would not
be acceptable to the States including with
in their boundaries vast areas of arid land
dependent upon irrigation for its fertility
The Constitution was framed in contem-
plation of the continued existence of sepa-
rate systems of law in each State, but
every good citizen will recognize the bene-
fit to be derived from uniformity. In the
matter, of Incorporation there is wide
difference as to the requirements, and it
has sometimes happened that companies
have incorpors ted in States far from the
seat of, their operations, simply because
they could do so without being called upon
to fulfill Objectionable obligations. In
some States The marriage laws are SO lax
that advantage is taken of them by hum
dreds of couples from other States where
the laws are more carefully framed. So in
the obtaining of divorces advantage is
taken of the different systems, and many
9th er cases of dissimilarity could be named
These few citations, however, serve to
show how important the work of such q
commission as contemplated will be. tits
not anticipated, however, that anything
will be done that will take away the right
of State to specially legislate upon any
subject that vitality affects its interests.
That uniformity in the general laws is de-
sirable is unquestionable.

The English Comedy Company chose
Goldsmiths "She Stoops to Conquer" for the
opening at this house last night. 1t goes
without saying that they could not have
found better example of the classic En-
glish comedy. The strength of the play,
however, is apt to embarrass any but q COM
pany of uniform and real ability. These
old comedies are delightful if we'll

with respect and clear understanding
sne M on they S M, make upon nT the
liant actor with a setting of hams-the
public won't have it even in Cincisnati-in
play like "She Stoops to Conquer" Mana
ger Ford has not done this. He has endeav-
ored, we believe, to get together company
worthy of the work in hand, the revival of
notable comedians of the old school. 1t
owy Is worthy in way. Composed mainly of
nov1tiate, the company attacks the COM
edy with lots of enthusiasm and apprecia-
tive intelligence: As matter of fact the
performance of 'She stoops to Conquer last
night was good deal better than the one in
Which John s. Clarke figured here four of
hve years ago. The incompetence of most
OF MI Ciarke's support, going as far as ig-
nolance of the lines in some cases. was .phe-
nomenal. No such grevious blemishes
marred the performance last night. Mr..

tional style with spirit andsenuine humor,
reinforced by rare command of farcial
eontortlon and grimace. in whicn his tongue

Is lovely girl, with beautiful large dark
eyes; graceful and tall beyond the common,
soft-voiced and every inch, a well-bred
woman, and therefore charming; She was
terribly nervous last night. Whether she
will some day be able to play Miss Hdrdcdstle
as it should be played is hardly doubtful
With her youth, looks and good training
much is possible, but it would not be kind
than promise of artistic achievements.
The best work Of the evening was
naturally done by Mr.. r. F. McClan-
min, sterling actor of the old
school, as IM. Hdrdcdstte 1t was
the dignity and old-fashioned humor of the
character being allowed to escape. Mr..
Walter Hale, also, played Young ldrJoD with
lots of spirit and grace, while the bashful
side of the youth was cleverly portrayed
Miss Adella Sawyer,s Hiss Nerite was salts
factory, and Miss Helen Mar was far too
youthful and handsome to suit the character
of Mrs. Hdrdcastle. Mr. Calvert's Diggoyy
deserves word of praise. Mr. Dupont, as
Hastings, did not know his lines. and his
courting of Mss Neville was painfully in
sipid, and his stage Fiss the thinnest imita-
tion of the real article we have ever seen.
The performance as whole was smooth;
the scenery fairly accurate, though the bars
of the Three Pigeons" were not very Brit
ish in style, and the costumes handsome.
The audience laughed heartily and ap-
farce after the comedy. Mr.. Clarke was
much funnier than as Tony and his support
was good Mr. Clarke has comic powers of
an unusual sort.

LOSS THROUGH STANDING ARMIES.

However great may be the needs of a
nation for an enormous army in times of
war, the maintenance of an immense
armed force permanently has tendency
toward crippling nation. This is plainly
demonstrated by statistics concerning the
cost of the standing armies of seven great
European powers. In round figures these
seven nations have paid out in the neigh
borhood of seven and half billion dollars
in nine years. 1t was proposed nine years
ago to begin course which would have
resulted in general disarmament If this
had been accomplished, let us see what the
saving would have been for the various
nations.
Supposing that by the end Of 1888 the
forces had been reduced fifty per cent In
round figures France would have sbeen
richer by s5T5, 600, 900, Germany by $780,
900, 900, Austria by S2O5, 900, 900, England
by S4O5, 100000 Russia by S57O, 900, 900,
Spain by S117, 100000 and Italy by $685.
ONO, ,OOO-a grand total of s., ,427 500, 900 in
money alone. Continuing the reduction
process up to the present the saving would
have amounted to S3,641, ,250,0 900. These
the nations but the direct loss through
money expended. 1t can readily be seen
that the commercial loss has been infinite
ly greater through the reduction of the
producing classes by retaining the men in
a state of comparative idleness The serv-
ices, in industrial and agricultural pursuits,
of !, 200, 900 Frenchmen, 1,26O, 900 Germans,
572, 500 Austrians and $40, 900 Britons have
been lost.
1t is too late now for Europeans to
mourn over the lost opportunities for in
creasing their wealth. A course possible
in 1882, when the whole world was at
peace, saving minor troubles in Egypt, is
no longer to be considered practicable.
The question of reducing armies under the
existing state of affairs cannot possibly re-
ceive consideration, and there can be no
thought of decreasing the huge garrisons
of Europe save by that natural process to
which each year has brought us closer.
Reflections of loss in prosperity in the past
may aid in bringing about the desired re-
suit, but its accomplishment will be slow.

MORE THEATERs OPEN.


She stoops to Conquer at the Renovated
Grand Opera House-The stowaway
and the Danger Signals Sensations
Farce and Variety at the Other Houses
It was the opening of the season at the
Grand Opera House last night, and the first
opportunity the public has had to see the
changes and improvements Manager Wilt
has made in the house this summer. The
theater is in many respects altogether new,
and it is Enthusiastically altered for the better.
The lobby is not finished, and its bilious tone
will doubt tless be corrected, so that
1t may be fitting approach TO
the auditorium, now wonderfully bright
body of the house, the prosceni1m arch,
boxes and galleries, are in luminous tints OF
gold and blue and other harmonious colors
of the light and bright order. The proscen-
ium arch is now dull silver and q quantity
figured band of soft deep blue. 1t has rich
effect. The boxes have been rearranged
and set back, apparently to advantage, and
the parquet has been robbed to increase the
parquet circle. There is great deal more
room between the rows of seats than
there used to be. The audience last night
appreciated all these things. The new drop
is not marvelously beautiful piece of work
in the landscape-but it is cheerful in color,
and q long way better than the old Joseph's
coat affair with the storks and golden
tassels.. The illumination of the house seems
to be better, but even more lights are
needed to bring out the beauty of what Is
now very attractive and comfortable
theater.

TERats OF THE DISPATCH.
PITTsBURG, TUESDAY, SEPT. /, 1881.
PROTECTING THE YOUTHFUL.

To determine whether the intent and
letter of the State law relating to the en-
plOyment of children in factories is carried
out in this city is the object of the visit of
Deputy State Factory Inspector Miss Mary
O'Reilly. This law provides that children
Under II years of age must not be en-
ploycd, and that between the ages of II
and Ii they must have permission from
their parents 1t is to the credit of the
merchants and factory owners all over the
State that up to the present time they have
been found to bewilling to obey the law
when they have been made aware of its
provisions, and it is not supposed that it is
being violated here.
The law is manifestly wise one, and
the limitation as to age could readily be
raised point or two without materially
jnjuring the people. 1t is true that there
are many families which are dependent
upon the earnings of their children, but
the welfare of the growing men and women
of the future has to be taken into con-
sideration. They cannot be allowed to be
stunted Intellectually and physically by
being forced to labor at too early an age,
when they should be in school obtaining
common school education.
