USEFUL AND ORNAMENTAL.

Governor Pattison's declaration desig-
mating two dates as Arbor Days in this
State calls attention to an interesting and
useful institution. The practice of plant
ing trees in public school grounds, and on
the streets of Pittsburg, has in the past
been too conspicuous by its absence. Lack
of places to receive trees can be no ex-
cuse, for our residential sidewalks would
be the better for shade and greenery even
where our schools have not ground to re-
ceive them.
We pay too little attention to the culti-
vation of the beautiful in this city, and it
is time that more attention should be de-
voted to the matter. 1t would be good
plan, too, if on some day just before those
set apart by the Governor, our school
teachers should make point Of instruct
ing their pupils in the practical as well as
the aesthetic results of tree planting. The
subject is too much neglected throughout
the country and it is one in which the ris-
ing generation would greatly profit by in
struc ton. Our atmosphere here is not
the best in the world for the support of
plant-life, but we should make the effort
to have more trees in the city while we
seek to purify the air.

A Diplomatic Cul de Sac Due to a DipIo-
matte Blunder.
New York Sun.l
We wonder who is the responsible author,
SO far as this Government is concerned, of
the proposed treaty of arbitration for the
settlement of the Bering Sea dispute.
Whoever the author may be, he has COM
mitted colossal blunder; and the ratifica-
tion of the treaty in its present form would
commit this country to the blunder and to
its inevitable consequences.
Nothing in the future Is more certain than
that every one of the five points submitted
to arbitration by the terms of the treaty
would be decided against us. The first four
points concern the claim to exclusive juris-
diction over an area of open ocean consider
ably larger than the Mediterranean Sea,
claim preposterous according to all accepted
ideas of international law. Does anybody in
his senses suppose for an instant that arbit-
rators named by France, Italy and Sweden
will hold that Bering Sea is closed sea SUBJ
ject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
United States2 The fifth point is in regard
to our property rights in the seals them
selves and our right to claim the animals
whereverin the watery waste they may be
found. Does any sane person suppose for an
instant that an international tribunal will
decide for our convenience that the Alaska
fur seals are not ferB naturBf And yet un-
less one or the other of these improbable.
nay, impossible decisions is rendered, the
whole negotiation, the treaty, and the ar
bitration will count for nothing toward the
main object in view, namely, the protection
OF the seals.

NOT UP TO THE sTuARrs

The degree of economic advancement
which governs municipal legislation some
times is illustrated by an amendment to
the proposed 'Huckleberry Railroad bill
grab in the New York Legislature. This
bill provides that the people to whom the
charter is granted for monopoly In tran
sit for the annexed district in New York
shall pay tax of one per cent on the
gross receipts when they reach daily
total Of S1,7OO. This magnificent p.ovis-
ion for the public is regarded as removing
all possible objec" ons to the grab.
This is an act of government granting a
monopoly in exchange for less than one
per cent of the gross receipts. In the day
when the Stuart and Bourbon kings granted
monopolies and formed taxes in England
and France they got good deal more than
one per cent out of the grants for the
State. The plunder alike of the State and
the people by this method of obtaining
revenues was one of the chief causes of
the downfall of both dynastles. But while
local legislation in this country has, as
stroke of public benefit, got back to that
archaic mode of taxation, it has not got to
the efficiency of either monarchy in get
ting moderate share Of the revenue at
least
1t seems as if this age of the world
ought to furnish Legislatures who know
that to accept tax from the grant of privi-
leges, that will extract several times the
revenue from the people, is a stupidity
which was exposed several generations
ap0.

THE ROAD AGITATION.

An indication of the constant progress
of the movement for better roads is shown
by the formation of the Juniata Valley
Roads Improvement Association This is
the result of mass meeting Of the citizens
of Blair and adjoining counties, held at
Hollidaysburg last week. The association
supports State appropriations for per-
manent roads, a State engineer and town.
ship supervisors. Mass meetings will be
held by the association to stimulate public
sentiment and the Executive Committee
will prepare bill for the Legislature.
1t will be seen that the association does
not propose to take. the decided step in
advance, indicated by the example of Ger
tain localities In the Eastern part of the
State, Of building some excellent highways
from local resources. We confess to desire
to see organizations In rural sections adopt
that method o. aiding the reform for two
reasons. First, localities which have the
enterprise to lead in the construction of
frst-class roads will gain the, first fruits of
the benefit from that reform. Second,
there is no stronger argument in favor of
good roads, and no surer way of convinc-
ing the people of their benefits, than to
show them in actual operation. When
people have once travelled over highway
durable and solid at all seasons, and have
marked the enhancement in the adjoining
farms, they will agitate until the same
benefits are extended to their immediate
localities.
Nevertheless, the Juniata Valley Asso-
citation in carrying on the agitation for
State legislation is doing good work. 1t is
taking up and carrying along the effort
which THE DISPATCH started two years
ago. This effort is of course bound to
continue until legislation opens the way to
and stimulates the construction of excel
lent roads all over the State. With this
movement manifesting itself In one form
or another in Eastern, Central and West
ern Pennsylvania, the day when we shall
actually enjoy good roads cannot be far

APRAcT1cAL SETTLEMENT.

1t was inevitable that the administra-
ton should, as reported in last nights tel
egrams, accept the alternative PROPOSE
tions made by Lord Salisbury, aspublished
in yesterdays DISPATCH. While the
British Minister'S last communication does
not in express terms concede our Govern
ment's position, it so completely covers the
case that there is no longer any reasona-
BILE ground for difference between the two
governments.
Indeed, this settlement of the issue is so
obvious that it only required a certain
amount of diplomatic discussion to reach
it. The position of our Government is
that if sealing is not prevented the United
States may suffer damages; that of the
British Cabinet is that if the sealers are
stopped they may suffer damages. After
contemplating this issue for little time it
is evident that its solution is in the
way Lord Salisbury proposes-to stop
sealing and let the question of damages to
the Canadian sealers be arbitrated, or to
permit sealing by those who will give bonds
for the payment of damages to the United
States if they should be awarded by the
IDllTdllOH.
When Lord Salisbury offers our Govern
ment its choice between either of these
courses there does not seem to be any
sound reason why the United States should
not accept and indicate its choice. The
proposition and Its acceptance will be an
advance on the former attitude of both
Governments Inprevious correspondence
they have been equally skittish concern
ing the submission to arbitration of the
question of damages against them or their
subjects But the dispute having reached
a point from which this was the only out
let, it is equally wise and honorable to
settle the whole question by impartial
arbitration. This it is indicated by last
nights telegrams from Washington will be
done by the Government 1t is not inti-
mated which of Lord Salisbury's alterna-
tive propositions will be accepted. As
measure of economy 1t may be wise to take
the one which will not incur the danger of
having to pay damages if the mare clausum
theory is not upheld

THE AGE OF SPEED.

A New York inventor has now come
forward with scheme for an air line
from that city to San Francisco on which
it is proposed to obtain a continuous rate
of two hundred miles an hour by means of
a special road bed and electric motors.
Every day we are told that we are living
too fast for our health, yet each tomorrow
has tendency to increase the pace.
Where the evolution will cease it is impos-
sible to foretell. The pressure of life has
increased enormously in the last quarter
Of century. Every indication is that its
growth will continue at least to keep pace
with the adaptation of the human frame,
if it does not outstrip it and lead to a
general collapse in the form of greatly
Iessening the average length of life, and
lowering the standard of health.

Murray remarked Ferdinand and Anna
Steimel, who were still husband and wife,
seven years. In 1855, in the State OF Michigan.
Ferdinand Steime1 wooed and won the heart
and hand OF Miss Anna Steiglftz For ten
years they lived happily together. Two
children-both boys-were born of their
union. The husband became infatuated
with another woman, and in 1855 eloped with
her and went to Missouri, where they lived
as man and wife until the opening of the
Oklahoma country when they emigrated
there, settling on q claim near the town of
Seward.
Afew months after arriving in that country
the woman died leaving no children. Last
fall Steimel was attacked with the grip,
which was followed by fever and ague. His
suffering and lonely condition awakened
his conscience and he longed for the pres

PROBABLE MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE.

The special cable news from London
published this morning, in connection
with Mr.. Redmond's request in Parlia-
ment that the evidence on which dyna-
miters DAILY and Egan were convicted
should be investigated, is full of interest.
Since the lack of character of the chief
witness against the prisoners has been ex-
posed, an inquiry must sooner or later be
undertaken. That the Birmingham police
should object to thorough searching of
the matter is not to be wondered at, since
it would bring discredit on them. But
Home Secretary Matthews opposition to
an investigation can only be accounted
for by the pig-headedness and disre-
gard for public opinion which has charac-
terized his behavior on other occasions
He cannot fear the inquiry as likely to
reflect on his own administration, for the
TRIAL and conviction took place while Har-
court was in Office. There is more than
enough evidence Of miscarriage of JUS
tice to warrant a re-examination of the
case. And the British spirit of fair play
will enforce it either now or later.

BALTIMORE, March 2s.-[SpeciaL ERailroad
men are now convinced that the Reading
Railroad is seeking terminals in this city by
obtaining possession of the Canton Com
pany's property. At the time the
Baltimore and Ohio extended its line
to Philadelphia 1t bought a block
OF Canton stock, and thus secured a
right Of way. Now another block has been
obtained, presumably by the Reading. The
Pennsylvania Railroad has learned of this,
and is now trying to buy more water front
from the Canton Company, with the view OF
proven ting its rival from completing the
deal. The Reading. however, has traffic
alliance with the Baltimore and Ohio. by
virtue of which it can use the Belt Line tun-
mel and the Baltimore and Ohio's terminal
at Curtis Bay, SO in any event it cannot be
blocked.
Should the scheme now proposed be car
ried out, the Baltimore and Ohio, Reading,
Western Maryland, Baltimore, Lehigh. and
the Belt Line would effect an fron-clad COM
bination by which it could surround tine
