HHE PASSAGE by the house
of the bill creating n new
Il United States judicial dis
trict to be known as the
Middle district of Pennsylvania and to
hold court sittings in Harrisburg, Will
Transport and Scranton. will be welcome
news to the thousands of litigants in
the thirty-two counties comprehended
within its limits. who have for years
suffered inconvenience because of the
distances separating them from the
places where the present court has
held its scattered sittings. It's prompt
ratification by the senate will be ex-
pected as a matter of fairness.
In furtherance of this measure Rep
resentative Connell has been inde-
fatigable and untiring. Persons not
familiar with the ins and outs of con-
gressional procedure can form a very
imperfect idea of the difficulties to be
overcome in securing the favorable
vote recorded Saturday in the house.
First the bill has to be reported from
a committee where one hostile influ-
ence is usually sufficient to effect a
hold-up. Then to call it up from its
place on the calendar requires unani-
nous consent and this can only be had
by the preliminary modification of all
opposition. At the beginning of his
fight for the new court bill, Mr.. Con-
nell encountered almost insuperable
obstruction. There We're few members
who believed he could ever succeed.
But by the aid of friends both within
and without the Pennsylvania delega
ton. he has persevered until success
has been registered in one of the
branches of congress and the DISPOSE
tion of the other branch will soon ap-
pear.
1t is proper to add that this aid from
friends has been unconditional.

A FEW WORDS WITH A CONTEMPORARY.

1t is too hot to be aggressive. and 1t is rather
by way of remonstrance than of chastisement
that we now briefly address ourselves to THE
Kansas City Journal" When, a few weeks ago.
It appeared probable that the dangerous injuries
inflicted by an impatient bull upon one of the
TWO legged performers in the ring which had
been opened at Omaha would make degrading
sport popular and profitable, we quietly but
emphatically condemned the Introduction of
bull fighting into the United States. There was
nothing in our article to suggest controversial
reprisals. but our Western contemporary, hav-
ing copied the larger part of it, invites deStruc-
ton by the following comment: Yet, not long
since we noted in The Tribune's columns an
account of a shooting match at which the tar
gets were live pigeons. but we do not now

sionally we neglect the privilege of reading
The Kansas City Journal that cannot
consistently reproach its editor if once in a
while he omits, though with less excuse, to
master the contents of The Tribune But in all
courtesy we submit TO his approval the propo-
sition that sarcasm which does not fit is worse
than wasted. 1t is a fact that last spring there
a slaughter of pigeons in the name of sport
not far from this city. 1t is also a fact that
The Tribune denounced it as inexcusably cruel,
cowardly and degrading once or twice, but
day after day. in at least a dozen editorial
articles and paragraphs-and that chiefly owing
10 our persistent efforts, heartily supported IS

hbtOry bill was introduced in the legislature
and passed one branch Though the session
was almost over and many other matters were
pressing. its failure to pass the other branch
seemed to us highly discreditable. and we
frankly said so.
As our Kansas City contemporary ought to
be aware The Tribune has never been in the
habit of ignoring evils at home, lest their expos

tation of the city or the State For example

THE SEIZURE or uURRTLLO.

the United States is concerned, there is no
reason why they should not be paramount.
This country has in the incident only the gen
eral and benevolent interest with which ii re-
CARDS the doings Of ITS southern neighbors. II
has no such direct concern in il ii had. for
example, in the deploTable Barrundia case of
eleven years ago and there is little room for
apprehension Of any demand for keener inter

But there is no evidence that Colombia has ex-
ceedei her lawful authority that Germany

THE BRIDGE DOGBERRT.

Is il really impossible for the preposterous
Probasco to open his mouth without putting his
foot in it? On Monday, in reply to question
If there would be any change in inspecting the
bridge. he replied, None whatever, and added;
we have men who have studied the bridge
and understand il thoroughly, and they can tell
the moment that anything fs wrong.
Indeed. most senseless and fiji Dogberry OF
Bridges! They can tell the moment that any
thing is wrong. can they! Then why dldh
they? Why did they fail to tell about the broken
rods till q whole series of supports had given
way and let the bridge sag that no inspector
was needed to see that something was wrong?
Mr. Martin. in his official report to the Com
missioner of Bridges says:
An examination of the fracture of two of the
rods indicates that they have been broken for a
long time.
Perhaps it was impossible TO discover such
breaks promptly, though we doubt IT. but IN
view of such n statement of fact, 1t might be
thought that any person safely trusted abroad
without guardian would know enough not TO
proclaim in the same breath that the old 1nspec-
ton which failed to discover those breaks for a
long time existent was perfect and needed no
Improvement and that it was able to tell the
moment that anything was wrong Mr FRO
basco might as we'll say that two and two make
seven as declare that system of inspection
able instantly TO discover anything wrong is
all right when it fails for a long time to dis
cover what is wrong. But perhaps 1t is too
much to expect anything else from DOgberry.
When he sets the watch on the bridge, to judge
from the results he does it after this fashion,
Probasco-Come hither, inspector. Your dis
trict leader has given you good name To he
q Tammany man is the gift of fortune; but
engineering ability comes by nature. For your
fortune sir. why give Croker thanks and make
no boast of it; and for your engineering skill,
let that appear when there IS no need OF such
vanity. You are thought to be the most sense
less and fit man for inspector of the bridge;
therefore bear you the lantern. This is your
charge: You snail stop all crowding cars; you
are TO bid motormen TO keep 102 feet apart, in
Crokers name
Inspector-How if they will not?
Probasco-Why. then, take note Of them,
and presently call the rest of the inspectors
together and have drink. If you find broken
rod you may suspect it, by virtue of your office,
to be no whole one; and for such rods the less
you meddle with them. why the more it is for
your comfort
Inspector-If we know it to be broken, shall
we not report it?
Probasco-Truly. by your office you may; but
I think they that touch rust will be detiled; the
most peaceahle way for you, if you do find
break is TO let it show itself by and by when
the bridge says
Insrector-Well. masters. we hear our charge.
Let us go sit at the Democratic Club till two,
and then all to bed
New-York tribune., 1901-07-31

indeed he certainly was motor that he had
any special claim upon German protection. 1t
can scarcely be maintained that fugitive can
secure asylum by going aboard merchant snip
in port and wrapping a flag about him.
1t may be that the Colombian police acted
with haste and with too little regard for some
niceties of etiquette OF that we cannot judge
from the incomplete reports at hand. 1t might
have been desira BILE for them to proceed
through diplomatic channels, though such
course would have necessitated delaying the
departure of the hip. and that would have
been cause for complaint. 1t does not seem
that in forcibly removing the German flag from
around Murrillo's body they treated it with
any more disrespect than he did in wrapping
it about himself. Doubtless some diplomatic
correspondence will be had concerning the mat
ter But, so far as present information goes,
il is a matter which should be closed and dis
missed with nothing more than an amiable
interchange of notes.
