The Finance Committee of the legislature lias set an example to the Legislature which, if it had been followed, the day for final ad journment would be much nearer than it is. That indescribable crank, Private Dalzell, nominates Gov. Foraker, of Ohio, for Pres ident. There is a sympathetic cord between these two which accounts for Dalzell’s en thusiasm in behalf of Foraker. Sydney Rosenfeld has turned Stockton’s “The Lady or the Tiger” into a comic opera. It is to bo hoped that he has found an ending for the story. If ho has not the tiger ought to catch him. The teachers of the public schools at Mc- Kinney, Tex., have struck for shorter hours, and the schools are suspended. They are evidently teachers with advanced ideas, who believe in new methods. The Chicago AVies dees not mince its words in referring to the denials by Mi-. Blaine of the truth of the accounts of his actions cabled by the News' correspondent from Europe. It says the denials are lies. The Maine coast summer resorts are pre paring to close for the season. This action looks rather precipitate, considering the weather, but the hotel proprietors are very anxious to get time to count their gains. The Constitution says Dr. Hawthorne's back in that city—a typographical error which suggests that Lawyer Benet rublted the reverend gentleman even harder than has been suspected in the famous plagiary controversy. It was suggested some days ago that in consequence of the complications arising out of Dr. McGlynn’s case, the Caldwed endowment of $300,000 for the Catholic col lege at Washington would be withdrawn. Mr. Eugene Kelly says that the suggestion has no foundation whatever. It is said Jay Gould has threatened to hang somebody’s bide on the fence if he is not let alone. If reports are to be believed, Mr. Goiild has already a number of hides in his collection as well tanned as were some of those in his possession when he was regu larly in the tanning business in Pennsyl vania, and among them is that of that old bull, Cyrus Field. It is now said Mr. Randall did not attend the Oak View conferences because he was ilj, and that he was ill of too much Allen town convention. This is very indefinite. A great victory is claimed for him at that convention, and success rarely ever makes men sick. But, perhaps, since he has had a chance to review the work of that conven tion, he does not find his victory to be as great as he thought it was. Gov. Foraker, it will lie remembered, after his insulting language in reference to the President’s action in connection with the battle flags, had the temerity to semi him an invitation to visit Columbus. He has received no answer, and it is intimated that he will not. That ho should have in vited Mr. Cleveland, under the circum stances, was a wonderful exhibition of audacity, and he merited a proper rebuke. The Republicans must have abandoned nil hope of conciliating the Prohibition seceders from their ranks. The Chicago Tribune, in the course of a very caustic editorial, speaks of their “meanness and malignancy,” which are proved, in the eyes of that journal, by their desire to defeat the party they have de serted. While the Democrats don’t care for the company of these deserters, they look upon them as engaged, indirectly, in a rath er important work, and os deserving encour agement. In his speech at Caldwell, Ohio, on last Saturday night Gov. Foraker referred to John Sherman as “being on a sure Presi dential train with a free pass in his own name, which would not be taken away from him by any one in Ohio.” According to the reports this reference to the Senator was loudly applauded. But the Senator can hardly feel grateful for the Governor's as sertion that he is trying to dead-head his wny to the Presidential chair. Foraker is always hitting Sherman under the belt whenever an opportunity presents itself. The Hon. Thomas F. Orady, of New York, who mode himself conspicuous at the Chicago Democratic Convention as Tam numy’s spokesman in its opposition to Cleve land, and afterwards by supporting Bin Butler's candidacy, has got himself talked about again in a way that be perhaps doesn't enjoy. lie had been known a* a bachelor until Thursday, when a variety actress, named Klorem'e Irwin, inserted an advertisement in the news|>apert, announc ing that she was his wife. No sufficient reason is given for the concealment of the marriage This is proof that in private as well as in public life, the lion. Mr. Grady prefers ways that arc a little shady. Where Reform Is Needed. While the Governor is investigating the charffbs of abuses in the convict camp3 he should also inquire whether the precautions taken to prevent the escape of convicts are sufficient, and whether all the convicts re ceive the same treatment. There is a sus picion that if a convict have influential friends he does not find life at the camps very burdensome. It will be remembered that at the last session of the legislature a committee of that body visited one of tho convict camps and was surprised to find that the most prominent convict not only did not wear a striped suit, but was treated more as a guest than as a prisonor. He employed his time as he pleased, and went fishing whenever it suited him to do so. If discrimination of this sort is permitted why may it not be exercised in the oaso of any convict whom the lessees may be disposed to favor? A few days ago four convicts escaped from tho camp near Augusta. Two of them were from this county. They attacked the guard, took his gun from him and fled. The amoukt which was oxjiended in sending them to the penitentiary was, no doubt, large, and yet the efforts to punish them, in accordance with the sentences imposed upon them, were defeated ut the convict camps. It is ulx>ut impossible to so guard the camps that no convict will ever escape, but it is possible to prevent any considerable number of convicts from escaping. Ac counts of the escape of convicts are by no means uncommon in tho press of the State, and it is probublo thut all who escape are not mentioned in the public prints. * It was stated a few days ago that a man who was convicted about a year or so ago of murdering an inoffensive citizen in this county, and sent to the penitentiary for life, hod made his escape. There is good grounds for thinking that the statement is correct. ft does not seom to be of much use to go to the expense of convicting criminals when the way out of the penitentiary seems to be so easy. Even if nothing is done towards adopting a better convict system, something at least might be done to remedy the worst features of the present one. Tim j ample certainly don’t want to be taxed to support courts and jails if convicts are so badly guarded in the pen itentiary that they experience little difll culty in escaping. The lessees are liable for damages to the extent of $2OO for every convict who es capes. Doubtless the proper officers see to it that tho money due the State from this source is paid, but is it not apparent that $2OO is wholly inadequate to insure the safe keeping of convicts who can command money ? No lessee, of course, would wink at the escape of a convict for any such sum, or, perhaps, for any sum likely to be obtained, but can as much be said for the poorly paid guards? All of tho present guards may be incorruptible, but no one will deny that in the changes that are all the time being made, there may be some who can bo corrupted. Would it be strange if a guard, who is paid $3O or $4O a month, should, for a few hundred dollars, give a convict a chance to escape? The lease system is no doubt a very bad, though a very cheap, one, but bad as it is there is no reason for some of the abuses which are practiced under it in this State. When the present investigation is finished let the legislature see if it cannot do some thing to lessen them. If the law under which tho leases are made does not give the Governor as much power as ho ought to have let it be amended. let something be done to insure the convicts humane treat ment. and at. tho same time the full punish ment which the courts inflicted upon them. The Mitchellstown Riot. The affair at Mitchellstown, Ireland, looks as if it might lie the beginning of troubles in Ireland of a very grave character, grow ing out of the coercion act. Our dispatches this morning show that the number of the police injured is much smaller than at first reported, but tho nutnlier of citizens kiln'd or of officers injured is a matter of only secondary importance in comparison with the fact that au attack by the police was made upon a lawful meeting, where there was no disturbance of any kind, and several persons clubbed or shot to death. A spirit of resistance has been aroused in Ireland, such as has not been witnessed there for many long years, and disturb ances of a more or lass grave character may be expected to follow that of last Friday. Of course the government has its side of the story, and it attempts to show that the police were attacked by the citi zens while attempting to perform a jier fectly legitimate act. It will have great difficulty, however, in supporting the position which it taltos even to the satisfac tion of its adherents. Mr. Labouchere, who was present, places all the blame upon the police, and there, doubtless, it will rest unites the government can bring forward incontrovertible testimony that its officers were not in the wrong. There was no occasion for the govern ment to proclaim the National league. It must have known when it did so that its action would bo followed by outbreaks of a more or loss violent character. The police, feeling that they were being supported by the government, nnd were acting in accord ance with its wishes, were certain to lie more aggravating in their attitude toward tlie people, while the people, embittered by the course of the government, were ready to resent any infringement of their rights. If it were the intention of the govern ment to make trouble in Ireland, so as to have au excuse for adopting more stringent measures for breaking down the spirit of resistance to English injustice, it pursued the right course. The Irish people are now in a very high state of excitement, and un ready to resist the effort* of the government to crush the National League. It would not be surprising if the government, in inuking war on the league, is doing more to advance home rule than it is to destroy the league. % With 30,000 coal miners out on a strike in the anthracite coal region of Pennsylvania, there is likely to lie n re|ietition, on a much lartrer scale, of the scenes of violence and suffering which attended the struggle for higher wages in the Connellsville region a few weeks ago. If the result of the inves tigation of tho New York World, that the average earnings of the men amount to only HOc. a day. can be relied upon os cor rect, there would seem to be justice in the demand for higher wages. It is au inter esting question n to how much of the 80c. is due to the protective tariff. It now seems to be certain that Mr. Pow derlv will resign anil insist on retiring from tho leadership 'if the Knights of Latior. lie is too sensitive to attacks made upon him, and U overworked He ought to toughen his skin and learn how to take things easy by a llttl* experience in his State's politics. TIIE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1887. Suggestions Worth Considering. The Morning News, within the last year or two, has time and again called attention to the advisability of so amending the con stitution as to relieve the Ilegislature of a great deal of the work that it is now called upon to do. More than half of every ses sion is taken up with little local measures which could be much* lietter attended to by city councils or county commissioners. A few constitutional amendments clothing the authorities of counties anil cities with the power to do certain things would so lesson the pressure upon the Legislature that one short session in every two years would an swer every purpose, and greatly reduce the financial burden of the State. One of the ablest members of the Legisla ture, in sneaking of this matter a few days ago, said: “It is often asked how the ses sions can be shortened. The answers are various, but most all agree that some good would result from constitutional amend ments to accomplish these objects, viz.: (1) To pay members and officials of the Legis lature salaries, instead of a per diem com pensation, it being understood that the Leg islature shall sit for not less than a certain specified number of days, with the privilege of sitting longer, but without compensation. (2) Dispense with the first reading of bills; let them be road by caption only, and re ferred to their appropriate committees. (3) Give local authorities more scope in purely local matters. lx>t fishing, hunting and many other questions be sot tied by popular vote, like the questions l’olating to fences and the sale of whisky are now settled. (4) Provide soma less expensive tribunal than the Legislature to decide whether or not an insurance company, which has failed to make its return in accordance with the law, shall be relieved of the penalty or not, and whether a tax collector who is guilty of omissions, oversights, errors anil delays in the performance of his duty, shall be excused or not . There are any number of these petty anti annoying matters which occupy the time of the Legislature. It is difficult to dispose of them quickly, because the princi pals in them have strong friends, who will not be satisfied until they get what they want. If an unfavorable report is made, the committee having charge of the matter is certain to be urged and worried to grant the interested parties another hearing, nnd if the committee refuses to re-open the case an effort is at once made to have the bill in volving the matter under connsideration recommitted. Sometimes bills of this class deal with only small amounts. It often costs the State much more to dispose of one of them than the sum at stake in it.” Doubtless, in all such matters the opinion of the Comptroller General, Treasurer, or other State officer decides the course of the committee. Why would it not be better, therefore, to leave them in the hands of these officers altogether? There is no doubt that if three of the ablest members of this legislature were to be appointed as a commission to report to the next legislature a plan for lessening the subjects for legislation, and thereby shorten ing the sessions of the Legislature, they could discover ways to savo thousands of dollars to the State annually, and that, too, without depriving the people of any privi lege or right they are entitled to, or ought to have. Carlisle’s Place In Congress. It seems tiiat it has been suggested that if Mr. Carlisle were made chairman of tie Ways and Means Committee of the present Congress, the prospects of getting a tariff bill passed, would lie much better. There is no doubt that he is well qualified to han dle the subject of the tariff, and there would lie more willingness to submit to his judg ment, perhaps, than of any other member of the House, but after all he can give his views to the Ways and Means Committee as Speaker almost as well as if he were chair man of it. It is said that the advisability of electing some other Democrat Speaker was discussed at the recent conference be tween the President and Mr. Carlisle at Oak View, but it is not known what conclusion was reached. Some of the Republican papers pretend that. Mr. Carlisle hesitates about accepting the Sjieakerslup because he is afraid that the Thobe contest for his seat will lie derided against him. Ht> has no fears of anything of that kind. In answer to a question a day or two ago, as to why he took no testimony in the case, he said: I took no testimony, for the simple reason that it was not necessary for me to do so. The contestant, in his notice, charged fraud and irregularities in almost every preeint in the district, but when he came to take evi dence he did not oven attempt to prove any thing except, that there were four illegal votes east for mo at one precinct in Coving ton. Ido not think the evidence is sufficient to show that those four votes were actually cast for me, hut assuming that they were it makes no difference in the result, as my majority was 895. The charges that I intend to relv unon some legal techni cality, and that. 1 will ttsk an extension of time to tak" te .tlmo iv. a o prejxjsterous. Certainly I would not nee "it n seat in the House if my right to it could be .sustained only by relying ution a technicality, anil so far from rcivltw upon anv stteh ground Ido not even intend to emoloy an attorney or submit any nr unent to‘ the committee or the House. Members etui lake the record just as iny opponents have made it up, and upon that they can decide the case without interference from me. This ought to satify the Republican paiiers that Mr. Thobe has no case, and that he is being pushed forward to make the contest, not with the exi>octation of iieittg successful, but for a purpose that has not yet been made public. But if Mr. Carlisle declines the H]>eakership, and accepts the Chairmanship of the Ways and Means Com mittee, he will not tie influenced in his course by Sir. Thobe's contest. Canadians are very much dissatisfied with the proposed llsheries commission, which they fear will settle the pending dispute to the satisfaction of the United States ami Great. Britain without reference to Canada's interests. They want the power to negoti ate treaties for themselves. The right to regulate their foreign relations in exchange for the duty of protecting them from foreign attack is almost ull that, is left of Great Britain’s power over her colonies, and if she were to give up that she might as well turn over Canada to the UniUsi States at once.

Politicians of the Fornker type cannot smother the common sense of the men who fought for the preservrtion of the Union. Republican Unity Includes Randall. From the Boston Herald find.) The Philadelphia Press informs one of its con temporaries in another state that there need be no concern about Republican unity in Pennsyl vania. There has been nothing to surpass this state of affairs there since order reigned in War saw. The process to bring it about is less vio lent in the more modern case, but it is fully as effective. This unity even laps over to take in Mr. Samuel J. Randall in instances where he is needed. The Real Question at Issue. l-hum the Sew York Times (Rep.) We have no fear that Mr. Randall could de feat Mr. Cleveland as a candidate for the Presi dency. The Presidency may be put to one side, and the question will remain: Which is better for the Democratic party, to abandon all pre tense of a policy on the tariff and maintain, at best, an idle and vain majority in the House, or to ’‘take arms' against Randall and Randalllsm and “by opposing end them 1” The West and the Tariff From the (Jhicago Tribune (Rep.) The people of the West can have no sympathy with Randallism in any shape. They don’t want cheaper whisky and tobacco at the expense of higher priced woolens and other necessaries. They demand a revenue reform that shall re duce takes to an amount needed for support of economical government and the cost of living to the people. Western Congressmen—Republi cans as well as Democrats—may as well under stand that allegiance to Randallism will leave them in the lurch at the polls. BRIGHT BITS.

A man of about JO years of age, short, pleas ant faced, and with the appearance of an epi cure, was watched with keen interest by a room ful of dentists at the Franklin School building in Washington, as he performed a clinic in oper ative dentistry upon a portly Englishman, who lay back in the dental chair. The clinic was a practical demonstration of the art of implant ing teeth. The operator was Dr. William .I. Youuger, of San Francisco, and the operation was the result of a dispute between him and an English dentist who had stoutly as serted his disbelief in the praoticability of planting a tooth in a man’s mouth and making it grow there. The dispute was so warm that he offered himself as a sub ject if no other person could be found to be operated upon. It was not necessary, however, to hold him to this promise as a fellow-coun tryman was secured. It is claimed that although a inan may have been without his natural teeth for years, the process which Dr. Younger has discovered, will allow sound teeth to lie in serted in the place of the lost ones, and thus do away with that trite subject—the false too'b. By the process diseased t.-eth can also lie re moved cleansed and replaced. The operation is thus briefly described by one of the dentists present this morning: "Dr. Younger takes a sound tooth corresponding in space to the hole left by the missing tooth, ligates the gum and separates it from the id vial process, and drills a cavity into which he piaees the tooth, and then ligates it to another tooth to retain it in position.” PROBABLY A TRUE STORY. Unpleasant Result of Porcine Gluttony and Mule Energy. From the Henderson (A'j/.) Journal. Henry Simpson, of this city, has been in the habit of using dynamite for the purpose of blowing old tree stumps out of the ground. The other day he carelessly left the dangerous compound lying by the side of a stump. The dynamite was mixed with sawdust and gave an exceedingly pleasant odor, which attracted the attention of two of Simpson’s' hogs. They fin ished their inspection of the stuff by eating it, and then one of them, probably to aid and ac celerate digestion, began nibbing its side against a post at the entrance.of a mule’s stall. The mule remained passive for only a few moments, and then, as mules will do, gave the hog a tremendous kick in the side. A terrific explosion followed, and When the smoke and dust had cleared away the hog was only found in detachments, while an enormous hole marked the spot where he luul stood. The mule, of course, survived, or it wouldn’t have been a mule, but it was the most surprised mule you ever saw. The other hog escaped, and is now at large, greatly to the discomfiture cf tho6e in the habit of straying away from home at night. The Favorite Office Liar. tYom the Boston Transcript. The Listener remembers that earnest and con scientious liar, formerly known in a certain newspaper office as Lying FootviJle, or George Washington Footville as the fancy served. Foot ville could not open his mouth without lying, either by direct statement, or implication, cr sup pression, or in some other way. He was innocent about if; he never seemed to lie for a purpose, never with malice aforethought; the truth sim ply was not In him, and he lied from a necessity of his being. He had charge of a certain de partment of work where his lying propensity had no opportunity to find reflection in thie paper, but which was an important department of semi-mechanical work. The autocrat of the establishment mistrusted him and criticised his work, but iield on to him. as lie did toeverybody else. Regularly every day the autocrat called him Into Ids private office, and loud words would be heard within Presently Footville would come out, radiant and triumphant. "Ah, boys," ho would say. "you should have heard the blessing I gave the old man'. I told him some plain truths about the way he is run ning things, and gave it to him hot and heavy." Footvilie’s abuse of the autocrat was a nine day’s wonder in the office, until one day one of the “boys" managed to get the door or the pri vate office open—Footville always closed it care fully when he went in and there was an oaves dropping party organized, “for the good of the service,” at the door, to hear Footville “go for the old matr.” The dialogue began with an em phatic complaint from the autocrat about some thing that had been done in Footvilie’s depart ment. Footville made a weak and shuffling ex planation, and the autocrat came in with a denunciatory rejoinder. The more Footville shuffled and extenuated the softer and more apologetic his voice became, while the auto crat’s rose to tones of thunder, and terms of I abuse were used which no other man iu the office would have submitted to. Poor Footville, his excuses completely riddled, could only fal ter out; "I’ll try to do better, sir.” Then the door was softly closed from with out. The hpys had hea’d enough. But when Footville came out he was radiaut as ever. “Dili you h.-ar me cussin’ the old man, boys?” he asked, triumphantly. “Oh, I gave him par ticular fits to-day!” John Randolph’s Reply. From the Philadelphia Times. When Ohio was first admitted as a State and entitled to a Representative in Congress, an un couth fellow was elected as her Representative. He lacked many of the essentials needed to in spire respect, attention, and weight to cany the measures he advocated or proposed; he sat im mediately behind Mr. Randolph. When the Clerk of the House rose and read the petition of the Ohioan of such matters as that State needed, he arose, witli his tall, lanky apjaiar anee, uncouth gestures, boisterous vociferation and remarkably bad grammar, advocated its passage, and sat down, perfectly subsided. Mr. Randolph arose very demurely, and looking around the House with feigned bewilderment, turned his face toward the Speaker, who always gave him polite attention. He said in his earn est speaking tone of voice: “Mr. Speaker," and paused. “Yes, Mr. Randolph, you have the floor.” “Mr. Speaker," again said Mr. Randolph, with his thumb pointing over his shoulder, and half turning his head toward the Ohioan, "Mr. Speuker, good God! good God! good God!” and then sat down perfectly composed, leaving the House convulsed in laughter and the Ohio statesman embarrassed as to the point and meaning of his remarks. Swindled by a Smart Young Man. From the Few York World. Geneva, Sept. B.— An English clergyman, whose name is not given, recently arrived here from India with his two daughters. The young ladies, who are very handsome, made the ac quaintance of an American named Cllnehwood, who represented himself as coining from Buffalo. In a short time he was engaged to be married to the younger of the two, and the day for the marriage was fixed for last Thursday. He speut a great deal of money and spoke of his father as being the President of the Buffalo and Toronto Railroad Company, which he said was enormously wealthy, and paid an annual dividend of li per cent, on a capital of $180,000,<j90. The clergyman believed this story, arlon the advice or his would-be son-in law tiaii'f hltn his savings and the proceeds of u small if ,ey. amounting in all to i! 1.000. to invest :J .is wonderful stock. Cllnehwood handed rom certificates In return and departed with the money. The certificates were found to lie worthless. Clincbwood has been traced to Berlin, where he registered under the name of Johnson, of London. When is a Hatter Not a Hatter? From the Buffalo Courier. A well known hatter was riding up town last night, and engaged with a scholarly neighbor in an animated conversation on tli obscurity of Browning’s poetry. At Eagle street a young swell got on and took the sent la-hind the hatter, whom he at once recognized as the man of whom lie purchased his headwear, though the latter didn't know him After sitting sometime uneasily the swell suddenly stuck his head for ward and inquired with a loud voice, "1 say. when'll the.fall styles o’hats be out down to your place? I can’t wear this thing much longer and Id like to know when I can get anew one." The irritated individual addressed, brought down from his supreme contemplation of Browning to the consideration of huts, replied tartly,"Sir. I am n hatter only between 8 o’clock and li." and therefore resumed his conversation, while the reproved swell quickly alighted and disappeared down a side street.

The Rio Neu-s gives this picture of social ob servances in Brazil: “Someone has recently ventured to protest against the practice of smoking in the theatres during the progress of the play, it is a gross piece of impoliteness, of course, but then what can lie done? There is no place exempt from the practice of smoking, and t here is no one so inconsiderate and selfish as the habitual smoker. We doubt whether there is any place in the world where there is Hess reul politeness than in Rio de Janeiro,” A liquid invented by M. Raoul Pictet, for use as a disinfectant, answers well as a freezing mixture for hardening microscopic specimens. Sulphur dioxide and carbon dioxide, having been mixed and cooled, are compressed until they are liquid, and stored In syphons. When liberated they rapidly evaporate, with great re duction of temperature. By this means mer cury may lie frozen, and animal or vegetable tissues rendered solid in a few seconds. It is easily managed and more effective Ilian ether, the odor being the principal objection. Mr. Bai.tkrham, of Asheville, N. C., thinks that he ha* a very intelligent Newfoundland dog.
