Officials of the federal government ex plain that they seized the Chilean insurgent steamer Itata because she was regarded as a privateer or an actual pirate. Yet nothing that she did has thus far beeD shown to have justified such an estimate of her. Thai wicked partner of Blaine’s is giving his duck-legged excellency a chance to snatch all tbe laurels resulting from the settlement of the Bering sea dis pute. By peremptory interference Harri son expects to capture all the credit for permanently closing the controversy. According to the estimate of Weigbmas ter Jones, Banker Flower has no chance ■whatever to be elected governor of New York. Contrariwise Banker Flower thinks similar things about Weighnmster Jones. Furthermore, JoDes says Flower is lia ble to wither aDd blow up the spout. And “Jones be pays the freight.” One of the rampantly republican news papers of New York city alludes to the ar rest of the defaulting Pennsylvania banking firm of Ilelamater Bros., at Meadville, under the caption of “Worrying the Dela maters.” Very likely their creditors think they are the ones who are getting the bene fit of the worrying. All of the peaches in Delaware are said to have been killed once more. Tnis it about tbe fifth time they have been blighted this year. Five or six more withering blights may be expected to really injure them. If this sort of thing continues Delaware peaches are likely to start off In the market at the rate of 50 cents per peach, with the customary trade discount. Boston does not seem to please “Old Hutch” much more than Chicago did. Reporters chase him in Beantown even more persistently than they did in the west, he says. As newspaper reporters are his pet aversion, it is only reasonable to sur mise that the old man isn’t having much fun. But just wait till he gets over to New York. Then his dearly beloved newspaper friends will make life au actual burden to him. Stoning an American gentleman in Flor ence by an unruly street mob may have been intended as revenge for the execution of the New O. leans assassins, who are said to have been chiefly Florentines. But the assault was wholly unprovoked so far as can be learned, and the p rpetrators are likely to discover that they have made rather a serious mistake—if the Italian gov oriiment is half so fond of justice as it filaims to be. Although the Italian government is said to have recalled Baron Fava from Wash ington solely because of his excessive fru gality the home government is reported to be introducing many economical measures for the purpose of reducing the general ex penses. At least that is the reason as signed for not euteriug the C.iicngo fair. But it may be reailv attributa le to reseut meut over the New Orleans incident. That seams more likely. Notwithstanding the fa’e of the assass’ns who murdered the chief of police at New Orleans, the Ulafia in this country seems to be doing business at the old stand, if we are to judge from tbe number of people io various c ties who have lately been oon de mued to sudden annihilation through mysterious notifica ions seat them through the mails. Only such measures as New Orleans was forced to reaort to appear to be effective iu and tpotiug of these murderous eonepiret ri. W hatever the method neoes •ary to employ they should be gotten rid of and without uiinooessarv delay. Elaine’s Fruitless Promptness. The New York Press, the 1-cent organ of tbe administration, commenting upon the i seizure of the Chilean steamer Itata at San/ : Diego, Cal., says: Secretary Blaine has acted with prompt decision in ordering the seizure of the Chilean steamer lla a at San Diego. The vigorous action of our government will teach the Chileaue that they cauuot use the ports ot the United States as bases of oper ations for either side in their civil war. And Col. Elliot Shepard’s paper, the New York Mail and Kxpress, a U-cont organ of the administration, in reference to the same subject, says: Our distinguished Secretary of Slate de serves the h.ghest commendation for his promptness and thoroughness in meeting this emergency. Those organs of the administration were rather hasty in singing the praises of the administiation. The I lata was seized, but the seizure does not appear to have inter fered with her plans and purp ses in tbe least. When she had got her c.rgo at San Diego and c mpleted her mission there, she hoisted her anchor and sailed away, carry ing the United States deputy uiaishal with her. She didn’t carry the marshal very far, however. She put him ashore a few miles down the coast and then pro ceeded on her journey, just as if the “distinguished Secretary of State’ tad never attempted to retain her. Before the Washington authorities were in a posi- tion to adopt measures for overtaking her she was several hundred miles on her jour ney, and there is no reason to doubt that in due time she will s ifely deliver her cargo to the Chileau insurgents, for whom, it is un derstood, it is intended. Perhaps tbe government feels some satis faction in having ordered the arrest of Ricbaid Trumbull, who, according to our dispatches yesterday, was supposed to be in San Francisco. This man Trumbull has the credit of being the brains of the party in Chile which is trying to overthrow the Chilean government. He is a lawyer of American descent and Chilean birth. His father was minister trom this country to Chile forty-five years ago, and established Protestantism in that country. He is a man of flue ability and possesses gieat influence iu Cfiile. It is alleged with a good deal of positive nesa that tbe whole trouble in Chile was brought about by two rival commercial houses of New York—the house of W. R. Grace & Cos. and the house of Charles R. Flint. Flint was formerly a member ot the bouse of Grace, but owing to misunder standings of one sort and another with drew from it and established a rival house. The two houses are competitors for trade in Chile and Peru, and each seeks, it is said, to control the governments of tae two countries. The story is that the house of Grace has a claim of 1d,000,000 against the govern ment of Chile, which President Balmaceda refused to pay. The house of Grace through the efforts of Richard Trumbull undertook to force him out of tbe presidency. The present disastrous civil war is the result. The house of Flint is supporting President Balmaceda, and, it is asserted, has been shipping arms to his government, and if the report of the contents of tbe cargo of the Itata is correct, the house of Grace is ship ping arms os well sb provisions to the in surgents. The shipping of arms from this country to tbe insurgents may cause complications be tween this country and Chile. If the Chilean government succeeds in putting down the rebellion it will, perhaps, make some such claim against this country as this oountry mado against England for permit ting armed cruisers to be fitted out in her ports during the war of secession. The slipping away of the Itata from Kail Diego, therefore, may become a serious matter. Our “distinguished Secretary of State” ia likely to have his time pretty fully occupied this summer. Jones Needs an Adviser. Lieut. Gov. Jones, of New York, is am bitious to be governor of that state, and he is therefore a zealous worker for the guber natorial nomination of his party. Thus far he has only succeeded in making himself the laughing stock of both political parties. He is a very good sort of a man, how ever, and if he had someone to udviso him when to talk and write letters and when not to, be would stand some chance of getting the nomination. Unless he adopts different tactics, however, his name will not even be mentioned in the nominating convention. Quite recently a democratic club, well known for its liking for Roswell P. Flower, who is supposed to be a candidate for the democratic gubernatorial nomination, sent out a oircular inviting opinions as to the availability of Mr. Flower as a candidate. One ot the circulars fell into the hands of Lieut. Gov. Jones, who at once answered it. He declared that if contributions to campaign funds were a reason for nominat ing a man for the governorship or any other office, Mr. Flower had as good a claim to the nomination as any other mania the s ate, but he intimated that, although he was not as rich as Mr. Flower, he had, in proportion to his means, made os large contributions as Mr. Flower. But he wished it understood that he did not base his claim to the nomination upon the money he had contributed to help the cause of democracy, but upon his faithful services to his party, and that in the matter of serv ices rendered he was so far ahead of Mr. Flower that it would be a waste of time to compare their respective records. Lieut. Gov. Jones has spent so many years in selling scales by advertising meth ods that he seems to think that the more he advertises himself the belter his chances for getting the nomination will be. He iosos no opportunity, therefore, to bring himself into notice, and he is not particular about the means he employs to accomplish that ob ject. The fact that he amuses the peonle more than be impresses them with his fit ness for the office of govornor does not seem to occur to him. Eventually somebody may take the trouble to inform him that he is becoming the butt of ridicule, and that he is rapidly destroying whatever chance he may have for the nomination. But the candidate the Democratic party may nominate may be neither Jones nor Flower. It is believed that Gov. Hill is pre paring to take the no.uiuation himielf, and he has so firm a hold upon the p liti al mac.iiie that he can have the nomination if be wants it. He has not qualified as United States senator, and that fact indicates that he has not yet made up his tniud whether he will submit to being buried in the Senate. Standard oil magnates will now have a bard fight lor their corporate existence in tbe supreme court of Ohio, since the state threatens to revoke the company’s charter. But that will not trouble such an octupus very much. It simply involves the pur chase of • few more public officials. THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, MAY 9, 1891. Philadelphia's Rotten Bank. When it was announced a day or two ago that the Keystone National Bank of Phila n delphia would be reorganized the depositors felt hopeful about getting their money. According to our dispatches yesterday all possibility of a reorganization has been given up. And the reason that it has been given up is, probably, that the bank u a | mere shell—there is no substance in It. Only a few days ago it was found that a national bank in New York had been j robbed of hundreds of thousands of dollars by its president. The directors had been so negligent of tbeir duty that if the presi dent had not died he would have probably robbed it of about all it possessed. The Keystone bank was robbed by its president who died not long ago, and it was ; not until some time after his death that the directors discovered its condition. An 1 strange as it may seem the government bank inspector did not find anything wrong with the bank, although there was a short age of $1,000,000 or more. Not only did the president of the bank tame what money he wanted without collateral ot any kiud, but some of the largest of the stockholders were permitted to overdraw their accounts. Nobody seemed to take the trouble to stop the irregularities. It is net to be wondered at, therefore, that the bank was wrecked. The city treasurer of Philadelphia has about $300,000 in the bank, and if he gets 10 per cent, of it he will be lucky from present indie ations. And there are hun dreds of depositors and stockholders who will suffer on account of the neglect of the directors who were selected to watch their interests. The present president, who was the cashier, and the ex assistant cashier, have been arrested, and they will have a chance to tell what they know about the wrecking. But ought not the di rectors also be arrested and tried for crimi nal neglect of duty? What excuse have they for permitting tne bank to be robbpd day after day for weeks and months? If there is no law to reach such rueu one ought to be enacted in every state in the union. And bank directors ought to be made liable to tbe full extent of their fortunes for auy losses a bank with which they are connected sustains, provided it be shown that a proper discharge of their du ties would have prevented the losses. Philadelphia has had some pretty severe experiences with bank wreckers recently. And so have other cities. Is it not time, in the light of these experiences, that bank directors were held to a stricter account for the faithful discharge of their duties? Another particularly sharp swindler has turned up in London and the Britons natur ally assume that he is au American. Whenever a man dees a thing unusually bright in Europe the authorities imme diately jump to the conclusion that he must bean American. While this may be flat tering enough to our national ingenuity it is not altogether complimentary to our morality. Therefore it is not to be ac cepted with unalloyed gratification. Euro pean police agents should bear in mind that their native adventurers are as fully un scrupulous as any we have, oven though they may find it necessary to borrow their ideas from ours. This particular sharper referred to is said to have bagged booty amounting to i early SIOO,OOO on a very simple trick by whiea be palmed off bogus jewelry for the genuine article. As wo have no particular pride iuhis performance there are very fow Americans who would not be heartily' glad to hoar that he had boen locked up. With growing confidence in his own majesty the young kaiser of Germany ap pears to think that he ought to be some thing of an autocrat after the t attern of his friend, the Russian czar. L on aspira tions wore undeniably betrayed in his recent speech at a banquet in the course of which tie is reported to have said: “As to the home policy which is being established 1 shall not deviate a hair’s breadth from the course I have adopted. I alone am master of this oountry and nobody else.” There is a good deal of personal pronoun and a strong suggestion of potent tipple in that statement. Very likely it was aimed at grim old Bismarck. But it is not likely to affect him in any other way than to excite a sardonic smile of amusement. Acting as a nominal president of a pro spective but somewhat intangible univer sity in U tah with groat aspirations and no assets does not seem to please the vigorous Sam Small. So he has peremptorily re signed his position as general hustler for cash, which he claims is owing to the un reasonable expectations of the board of directors, who, with serene confidence, have been relying upon him to earn all the money for building purposes, and promptly turn it over to them—in exenange for the lofty honor of being president. They seem to be altogether too much disposed to hold the Rev. Sam to a rigorous accounting for all funds he may earn. Therefore he regards them as altogether too thrifty. Hence his retirement. It is not often that a Washington news paper corres; oudent is sued for libel. But an interesting case is on just now pending in which Surgeon General Hammond claims heavy damages from tae correspondent of a New York newspaper for the statement recently made that ho had charged Mrs. Leland Stanford $5,000 for removing an ordinary wen from her scalp which other surgeons are said to do regularly for $35 or less. It would be rather ha and for the correspond ent to prove his charge, even though it be true, unless a check was passed between the senator and the surgeon. Apparently there is no end to the possi biiites of the presidential cabinet. Now it is a secretary of a prospective health de partment, with all p ssible adjuncts and accessories that the politicians are clamor ing for. Such a department as proposed would necessarily involve enormous ex pense. aud the advantages it would afford over the present system are at best doubt ful. P ssiblv it may be a necessity in tbe distant future, but it is not so now. Until there is an urgent need for it the expense might os well be saved. Another negro convention has been held in Cincinnati, in which the hurdei of the complaint was the failure of the republican administration to “recko’nize” the man and brother. It seemed to be merely an ordt nory scramble for the loaves and fishes, in which those who have been favored were roundly rated by those who were left. But the funniest part of it is that the vigorously abused fa .el ites were nearly all elected oflieecs of the “American Citizens’ Equal Rights Association," which was than and there reorganized.

For the first time in many years two deaths were reported at, the health olflce during the week from what is known as • Addison's dis ease," sometimes called the “bronze skin "dis ease.

The Effect cf 7m tg.nation. •‘Never felt better in my life," said the law yer, according to the Chicago Tribune, as he en tered the < (Bee and threw off bis overcoat. "I'm glad of it. sir. said the cashier, dolefully, "I'm feeling pretty badly myself " ' What’s the matter?" he asked as he took up some 1 -gal documents and began a hasty exam ination of them. “Grip, I think, sir." "Nonsense! Imagination. That’s all that troubles half the people who are sick now." The cashier retired and the lawyer settled back in his chair to pursue the examination of the documents. A few minutes later be touched a bell and the office boy appeared. “Send Mr. Capias to me,” he said. "He's not here, sir," replied the boy. “He sent word that he wouldn't come down.” “What’s the reason?” “The grip “ The lawyer gruntled his dissatisfaction, and then said: “Funny, how everybody's sick. But then it isn't a good day to be out if one has a cold. Never mind, Willie, I’ll make out the papers myself-” But he didn’t. He looked out of the window and soliloquized a bit about the unhealthy and disagreeable weather. "Frightfully bad weather," he said as be finally drew his chair up to the desk to begin writing. “Please, sir,’’ said the office boy, entering again, “a tel -phone message.” “What is it!" “Your partner. Mr. Legal Brief," sends word that he is laid up in bed.” "With what?" “The grip." “Ugh: This is a terrible day out. Shut the window, Willie. There’s a draught here that would kill a horse. ” “Yes. sir. I don’t feel very well myself." The lawyer shivered a little as the boy retired, and after another glance out of the window settled down to his work. It wasn’t for long. The cashier came in. ‘Til have to go home, sir," he said; “I can’t stand it." "The grip?" asked the lawyer. “Yes, sir, the grip." “Well, if you're sick of course that ends it. I’m not feeling well myself, but I guess I can stick it through. Turn off the 'team h -fore you leave, though. The room is tri rhtfully hot and I'll catch cold sure when I go out " The cashier did as told, and retired. The lawyer looked out of the window again, drew his coat closer about him. and was aoout to begin work w.nen he beard a sneeze. "Is that you Willie?" he asked, "Yes, sir.” ‘‘What’s the matter?” “The grip, sir.” "Go home!” roared the lawyer. "Go home, and don’t die in the office.” Then the lawyer foolel with the steampipes to get the temperature exactly right, couldn’t satisfy himself and put on his cost to keep from catching cold. He tried to finish his legal work, but hss temperature ro-e, and ne gave it up He n ade a run for the telephone, called up a livery stable and asked for a carriage. ’ ’None in." was the reply. " What's the matter?" be asked. "The grip. All out at funerals." He gave the telephone a wild ring and called for the family physician, meanwhile buttoniug his coat up. “Is Dr. Quinine in?" he asked. “Yes, sir," was the reply. "Tell him to go to Lawyer Jones’ house at once. I'll t> there before he can get there.’’ "He can’t." “Why not?" “The grip.” The lawyer turned bis collar up, went down 6t,airs, got a cab. shut the windows, and shiv ered all the way home.

A. woman boarded a Crawford street car the other day with a basket which had an old cheek apron tied over the top. She sat down near a boy with a bundle, says the Detroit Free Press, and he no sooner saw the basket than he con elude 1 there was mystery concealed t! erein. For the first five minutes the woman watahed so c oseiy that he could do nothing, but the car ftnal y came along to where a street band was playing and she half rose up to see As she did so the boy u-tied the string and raised the cloth. "Land o' massy, but what's that?” shouted a man next to him, as he jumped up. " Look out!” “Let her go, Gallagher:” “Stop this cir: ’ It was a thumping big cat. The cloth was no sooner raised than out ne popped, ran over the mans knees, and during the next naif minute jumped all over everybody in that car. He finally came to tue rear door, uttered a “spish!” at the conductor, and made a long jump into the street, ayct ran up a telegraph p de. Everybody looked at the woman aid her basket, and she ran out and got off without stopping the car. Theu everybody looked at the hoy, and feeling that a speech of some sort was demanded by the occasion, he said: " Who'd a thought of cats?

Ad elderly lady, wlio was rery wealthy, and who had a very inflated idea of her own impor tance. pays the Irish Times, owned a pet m n- Itey which suddenly became quite ill. The lady, whom we shall call Mrs. Portly Pompous, had the assurance to send for one of the most prom inent physicians to attend the ailinp: simia. " hen the doctor was introduced to his patient he was very tnuca enraged, but he did not be tray it. He examined the sick monkey's pulse. an l asked the usual questions. In the corner of the r> m was a little boy, a grandson of Mrs. Portly Pompous. The doctor approached the boy. examined his pulse, and then said solemnly to the lady:— "Madam, your two little grandchildren are suffering from indigestion. Give them light food, with plenty of exercise, and they will soon come around all right.” After the doctor had said this he bowed hira sdf out. with a feeling that he had in a meas ure vindicated his profess onaldignity. The bill wuich he sent in was so h -avy that Mrs. Portly Pompous, who is somewhat stin ;y. almost had a fit herself over it. ‘I was No Plnce for Him. As he entered the car at Baltimore he saw at a glance that there was one seat with a young lady in it, and he marched straight down the aisle, deposited his grip and overcoat, sat down, says the Baltim >rean, and familiarly observed; “I entirely forgot to ask your permission.” “That soi no consequence.” she replied. "Thanks. Traveling alone, eh?” "Almost, but not quite. My husband is in the smoker, my fatner and brotner are in the seat back of i.s. and the two gentlemen aero-g the aisle are my uncies. The conductor, who is a cousin of mine, has just goue forward, but will return soon, and 1 wilt introduce you to my aunt if you wid go back a few seats. ” "Ah' ah: I see," gasped the man, and the floor of the car suddenly became so red-hot that he picked up his baggage and his feet, and lit out for tue next ooe anea i.

The late James Redpath, says the New Yoik Sun, believed himself to have been the firs; person to put the verb "to boycott” in print. One night, during one of his visits to Ireland, he sat writing a di3; atch to a New York paper, wneu s iddeuly ne found himselt at a loss for a word to express what was tueu happening to Capt. Boycott. “Use Boycott’s name os a verb,” said a priest at his elbow, and Redpath accepted the suggestion Next day Redpath met the Irish speakers, then just starting out upon a series of campaign meetings, and sug gested to them to use the verb "to boycott.” The suggestion was accepted, and shortly after the word had wide currency in both Ireland and America. Senator Stanford has decided to begin this year the manufacture of champagne on his groat vineyard in Tehama county, California. Arpad Harasz hy, the Hungarian, is about the only mauutacturar of California champagne and his product leaves much t j be desired. Mr. Stanford alwars goes into everything thor oughly, reg rdless of i xpease, so that if he fails to matte cua upagne equal to the best Krencu brands it will be a confession that California soil or climate is against the making of tips finest of wines. Mr. Stanford has engaged Eugene Douspis, a champagne expert, from Lyons, France, wh > will begin experiments this season in the great vineyard at Vina. There Mr. Stanford already makes more grape brandy than any one in this country, having nearly 4,000 acres in v nes. The success of champagne mailing depends largely upon the skilful blending of the wines, which must he grown on foothill soil in order to insure a delicate flavor. Mr. Stauford spent upward of a quarter of million dollars demonstrating that he could produce fast trot t re or. new lines, and he spent $40,000 in estab lisUin; by instantaneous photograph the fact that the horse in motion doesn’t handle his legs as the artists have always depicted liim If he is equally energetic aud liberal in testing his theories about champagne, the problem will be settled in two or three years. A Japanese boy who works in a San Francisco club house recently sent the following pictur esque compliment to the officers: “To-day I went to the club to get my wages. The steward, Mr. John, ordered me to leave with many repe titions of abominable oaths, which a man of some honor can’t restrain his passion from re volt on such a violent suower of curse. Anger was beyond my control, aud involuntarily I re turned my share of compliments, upon which he sea died the potato- masher aud was brutal enough ;o give mu two sjvere blows on my per son, and iufi.cting quite painful injury. Through ah tbi„ uuuir 1 was never offensive, Wh,D 1 went there to demand the money to which I wi’s en filed he unjustly enjoined me to get out. Tbit is an unreasonable movement, and cannot fail to hurt am .’s feelings. What! without being satisfied with thut insult, made my bioo 1 boil and tae veins burst with succes sive onslaught of ignominous swear. My re turning was completely excusable, for to he indifferent to such an ignoble treatment denotes that one is a stranger the sense of honor; and So he ought to have relished it with abashed submission. And what again! The tongue— the count -nance was not capable enough to wreak his savage fury—and then he resorted to tnat final step of violence as though I was a mass of clay, insensible to disgrace and pain.” People who suppose there is nothing but sport and entertainment in the management of the big base ball clubs, says the New York sun, suould spend an hour or two with one of the gentlemen who are usually referred to by the base ball writers as "magnates.” A magnate is a man who nas something to do with the management or backing of a base ball cluo. There are usually eighteen or nineteen men connected with every club. Each man is fille t from tne boots to bis eyes with schemes, and he invariably has three or four hangers-on, all of whom are imoued with notions of a rev o Union ry and iconoclast c nature There is always one particular magnate who has the management of the club, and he has to see on an average about 103 men a day in order to keep things running smoothly. When A. G. Spalding, who is perhaps the most important magna.eof them all, comes to town, his daily receptions at his hotel suggest the diplomatic n gotiatioasof a prime minister. A number of men stand in the corridors for hours waiting for him, and they take their turns one after another. Confidences of vari bus sorts are poured into his ears. It seems to be a rule of the base ball man's life never to al low any one to hear w hat ne has to say to the ma nate. The depth, secrecy and impressive ness of it all is astounding. Mr. Spalding lis tens with undeviating c mrtesv, always presses his callers warmly by tue hand as they leave, and then turns with a manner of quiet expect ancy to tue n ixt comer on the list. It is difficult to realize that sues a jolly and piaytul spo. t as base ball should require suca a vast amount of scheming. No end of stories are now being told of Philips Brooks’ younger days, some of them be longing to the period when he taught in the Boston Latin school. This is one of them, and is related by one wao was then a pupil: "Ju tup above the scuoj. on Bedford street there was a tin shop, aud every now and then there would be barrels of refuse tin placed on the side walk. One morniug there was some or tnese barrels of tin out there, aud I don’t re member who started it, but every boy in Brooks’ room got a strip of tin and made a paw of eye glasses. When the bell rang we all took our seats Mr. Br .oks came iu and said, ’.oo l morning.' and then put on his own eye-glasses to reau the usual cnapter in the New Testament. When he looked over his class he found every boy sitting bolt upright, staring at mm through a pairortin eye-giasses. I thougnt he was mad t ien, but 1 have since come to the conclusion tnat he was hurt at o ir making fun of his own infirmity, although I don't believe a single boy intended to do that. He stopped the devotional exercises and told us all to bring those eye glasses up and deposit them in the waste basket. Tnat recep tacle had been spirited awav. and finally he told us to p t them into the tall silk hat which he placed on the end of his desk. It didn't take many of the tins to fill the hat. to overflowing, and then one of tue boys undertook to pres the mass down. He did so, aud pressed the top of the hat right out, and of course spilled the tin all over the floor The boy w.. 0 did this injury to the bat was profuse in' his apolo gies, and offers to buy anew one. but that was not to be allowed.” Simmons Llier Regulator has never failed to relieve eoifiveness, and blind and bleeding piles.—Ad.
