Pittsburg, S.-A gigantic scheme now
contemplated here, IS 6 federation of
coal miners, the object being the pretec-
ton and advancement of the interests OF
miners. About May lst delegate con-
vention will be called to meet ID Pitts
burg for the purpose OF taking steps to
put the scheme of confederation into prac-
teal operation as soon as p' sable. Pres
ident John Nc Bride, of the Ohio Miners
Association, was found to-day at the
miners general Office, in consultation
with Secretary Flsunery touching the
necessary preliminary. arrangements,
among which was the best method for
reaching all miners of the country and
making them realize the full importance
of this plan to them, individually end
collectively. Mcbride and Flannery
were both confident that the scheme of
unifcation could be successful ly carried
out, and if properly managed, it would
eventually prove the greatest boon ever
vouchsafed to miners. The matter will
formally, and in detail, be laid this week
before the coal miners Of the country,
through the columns of their official or
gan, The Country LG6OreT Tribune.
Miners of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Mary
land have already agreed that these
States alone would make powerful or
Ranization, but it is proposed to charge
both its limits and power by inducing, if
possible, the miners of other bituminous
States to join the union.
The circular calling q convention will
be deferred until representatives from
various States interested have expressed
their views. The States expected to join
the movement, and the number Of
miners in each, are as follows: Pennsyl-
vania, 10000, Ohio, 10000; Maryland,
$1,000; Indiana, 5000; Illinois, 10000;
Michigan, 4, 900; Iowa, 10, 600 Missouri,
5000. Total, 152 00s.

A Grcnt Homo Question.

Senator McMillan's resolution for an inquiry
into the distribution of the present water
supply of the district comes up for considcra-
tion to-day. 1t ought to pass without oppo-
sition, and will if its purpose is understood.
1t should not be confounded with the subject
of tn additional water supply, which has been
provided for by law, and the work on which
is now progressing That, too is u matter to
he kept in the public mind, and not to be
allow ed to settle down into one of those per-
mancnt ten or twelve year enterprises around
which hopes cluster as memories fade away.
The thing Immediately in hand is to learn
whether the very best possible distribution is
being made of the water supply the city now
has. The inquiry is no impeachment of the
fidelity or capacity of the engineer commits
sioner, or of his able assistant, Lieut.. HoXie.
But it is q demand that there shall be
cumulative testimony of the correctness of
their Judgment. The city is in mortal
peril from fire and from pcstilence.
Tho alarm should DO ounded in the dull
ears of those who are not already awake to
the danger until all shall be aroused, and un-
til the power Of public opinion shall have So
cured more than an ordinary routine system
of water distribution, and stopped leaks and
inequalities. The use of water should bo re-
stricted to indispensable purposes first, and
the surplus over that, only, bo allowed 60 bo
used for the irrigation Of parks, gar
dens, and the like. Day after day last
summer THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN plead
while disease was being generated for the
want of wator in dwellings. Tho sewers are
bclchng their deadly poisons into our hous es
! because water enough does not flow into
our bathrooms to keep the traps filled which
arc intended for protection. In some
localities destructive fires might go almost
unchallenged for the want of water. II Is to
be Il long time under the most favorable con-
ditions before the additional supply can
reach us. The time has come TO find out Whdt
can Je done 10 insure The most general good lrih
trhat ue noD hare, Lieut.. Hoxie is the one man
on whom rests now the management of the
water supply, Probably no one man could
do better. 1t is no reflection on
him to propose that he have the
cooperation of others of the profession
ho honors in determining whether he
has made any mistakes in the water service,
and If so how they can be remedied. His
system may be good one and may
not be faithfully carried out by those
under him. Or he may receive some

its details by the committee of ways and
means, composed presumably of the wisest
and most prudent members from both political
parties. 1t is not, therefore, probable that it
could be greatly improved by tho present
method Of procedure in tho house. In
some respects il might he mado
better, but in many other features
it would probably be made worse. And as its
final defeat by this method has been resolved
on by the democratic membcrs--and, unless
checlmated in some way, its defeat is assured
is it not the plain duty Of the republican
majority of the house to exercise its parlia-
mcntary power and pass tho bill in the best
shape they can get it under present con-
ditions? Gentlemen, the people will justify
you in passing even an imperfect bill reducing
taxation, it being the best you can get under
the circumstances.

The january DIsnstFrs.

During the month of Jannary, 1883, thero
were no less than four hundred and eighty
five lives lost by wrecks and collisions in the
Atlantic ocean. The universal horror and
alarm caused by these calamities found utter
ance in resolution introduced into the Ger
man reichstag providing for greater prccau-
tions in foggy weather at sea, and suggesting
the electric light as valuable prccaution.
The practical precaution, however appears TO
he to mako steamships slow down to ono
quarter of their average speed during u fog
thus avoiding the fearful momentum which
two vessels going at high rate Of speed at
tain when them come together. In the cases
both Of the Cimbria and the City of Brussels
they were scarcely moro than drifting with
the tide when the Sultan and the Kirby Hail.
coming toward them with full head of steam
on, crashed into them, and cut them nearly
in two. In the dreadful wreck of the Arctic
one of the most appalling calamities that ever
occurred in the Atlantic, the same circum-
stance happened--tho Vesta steamed rapidly
toward the almost motionless Arctic and sent
her to the bottom. Tho reliance upon fog
horns is suncertain, as the peculiar atmospheric
condition affects the passage of sound very
much. Navgators as rule arc preudiced
against the electric light, which landsmcn are
accustomed to think perfect safeguard.
They say that the electric light is too dazzling,
and in the case of fog where two vessels meet,
with only few feet to spare they would prob
ably both steer wildly, and the sudden glare
would be worse than tho dim light which is
almost always visible at sea. To make the
steamship owners and captains forcgo the
pride of calling their vessels Greyhound Of
the Sea-" and such like names for their quail
ities of speed, and to give up the pornicous
practice of racing on the ocean, would be in
the nature of genuine reform. 1t is not re-
markablo for steamers to race from Queens
town to Sandy Hook. The great lanes of
travel on the ocean are now full of ships, there
being scarcely an hour in ocean travel when
there is not the sail of vessel or the smoke
of a funnel to be seen. To keep up speed of
fifteen miles an hour-a milo every four min
utes-as many ocean steamers do, is to invite
| disaster.

Once More TO the Breach,

Any New Yorker who is not pct Of the Tri-
Ju,e is sure to catch it in the columns of that
eminently fair journal if he dNres at this time
to set his foot within the limits of the ma
tional capital. The reason of this is that the
President must soon appoint u surveyor of
customs and naval officer for tho port of New
York, Naval Officer Burt's term having ox-
pired on Saturday, and Surveyor Graham's
term expiring ON Wednesday of this week.
OF course the President and secretary of the
treasury are not to have any say on these
matters. The appointments will, according
TO the New York Tribune and some others of
the metropolitan papers, be wholly controlled
by the jolly good fellows from the empire city
who may happen TO be here. The
President ought to secure, if possible, a mid.
night dispatch from Whitelaw Reid in which
that cx-assistant president should set forth
the great desideratum that eve must have
the surveyor He might also tell the Pres.
dent how to bring to his bearings tho New
York member of the cabinet in case he should
show any disposition to ilicSor.' 1t is an
unluclky day for any President when he
cannot have tho modest Whitelaw to tell him
how to avoid being mads a laughing stock"
Let the wires tremble again with Mr., Reid's
"frozen truths" and the country will again
breathe freely and the public pulse be tranquil.

Miss AIcott on DOmestlcitY.

Miss Louisa NJ. Alcott's utterances COM
mand respectful attention under all crcum-
stances, and for that reason she should avoid
reckless writing or speaking, especially when
she touches upon the woman suffrage qucs-
ton. But in n letter to Mrs. Lucy Stone,
written lately, Miss Alcott makes complaint
against women for devoting "their energies
to church and charities, or to the narrow
round of domestic duties" Miss Alcott's
own life is an example of the importance she
attaches to the performance of home duties,
and therefore her remarks may be put down
simply as hasty and illogical. But such char
acterizatioE3 are calculated to shock
the common sense of both men and
women. 1t has been the boosted claim of the
women suflragists that their views did not
unfit women for domestic duties; but when
it comes to complaining that women who are
deeply engaged in the charities of home and
the small, sweet duties of every day life are
noglcctful or opposed to woman suffrage, they
are cutting the ground from under their feet.
To the coarse observation of blunted mascu-
line intellect, it looks as if the women suf-
fragsts were howling for the shadow while
the ninety mine hundredths of their own sex,
who are opposed to them, are quietly enjoy
ing the substance.
