rI1,rsIURG's NATURAL SEWERS.
Another Natural Wonder Added tO Her
Already Notable List.

Already Notable List.
PrrrSGURG, August l3.-ln addition to
natural ssls and other modern wonders,
PittSburg has had another added to her
list in the way of natural sewers. The
hills around this city are hOncycOmbed
with abandoned coal pits. There are miles
and miles of old entries and thousands
upon thousands of worked out rooms"
under the hills. The black wealth was
turned out years ago, and now big holes
along the bluff sides mark the entrances to
the catacOmbS. The houses on Mount
Washington, the Thirty-secOnd ward, are
built on the crust of earth above these tun-
nels. There is no system OF drainage up
there for a population OF seven or eight
thousand people. Recently they found q
way out of the difficulty.
An old we'll driller who got broke ut
drilling in Washington county came to
town. He had brilliant idea. He struck
4 bargain with n resident named McCOr-
mick. and in u few days the drill WAS
clicking merrily in his back yard, and q
week later all the refuse, sewage, and
waste water of the neighborhOOd went
pouring through siX-inch well into an
old coal mine sixty feet beneath. The
perpendicular sewer scheme since then is
taking, and where one man cannot afford
to drill well several neighbors bear the
expense and share the benefit.
Fears have arisen that this will create
pestilence in years to come; that, rs there
is no outlet, the coal pits will become filled
with the filth of the city, and through the
natural openings and assures in the over
lying rocks yapOrs and gases will carry
death and disease abroad. As yet the
Board of Health has taken no action with
respect to the system.

NAV bring to naught all their long and
painful efforts at combination and compel
them TO build anew from the very founda-
tion. The democracy and the aristocracy
Of ENGLAND. the masses and the classes,
are ciTding themselves for mortal conflict.
Finally, here in New York, retrlbution
awaits the thieves and conspirators whose
suuabbles over their booty have delivered
them into the hands of the law. The klng
is broken and the Boss dethrOned.
Yes, it is pretty hot summer SO lar as
the moral atmosphere is concerned.

NINE hundred and thirty-ninc ballots
had been taken at the Democratic Congress
sional Convention at Sedalia, Mo, when
last heard from, and the vote WAS the same
every time. At last accounts the delegates
were still voting. Probably the only way
in which majority can be obtained is to
shut the delegates up and feed them on
bread and water till some are willing to
change their votes.

ROSE ELIZABETH CLEVELAND AS
A JOURNALIST.

The REGISTER has received the first
number Of the Chicago Literary Life under
the editorial management OF Miss ROSE
EpzzABErH CLEVELAND. Miss CLEvE-
LAND acted her part well as the First Lady
of the White House, and whenever she
spoke on current topics her remarks were
full of practical sound sense. The jour-
nalistic fraternity of the land will welcome
her into their infinite domain.
Miss CLEyELAND's magazine will be
something unique in American Journal
ism. The critics are the censors who de-
eide what articles shall be published IN
our leading magazines. But Miss CLEVE-
LAND entirely disregards the opinions oil
the critics and seeks that which seems
practical and practicable" and which Will
'sbring stimulus and courage and refresh
ment and inspiration into the lives OF aver
ana men and women" She feels in regard
TO critics a good deal like BYRON did when
he hurled that satiric ode against them be-
ginning:
Prepare for rhyme
I'll publish right or wrong"
Average men and women know better
than the critics what books or writings
touch their hearts The book that IS now
more widely read than any other, ever
written by man-Bunyan's Pilgrims Prog
ress-was first laughed ut by critics. IL
was nearly 4 hundred years atterward wheh
CowPER ventured to compliment the au-
thor in song. But the critics at last con-
cluded to let the people have their way,
and began to see something TO admire IN
the work. And this is only one of many
examples that might be cited.
If Miss CLEyELAND's literary percep-
ton can give people what will entertain
and elevate them they will not care who
are the authors of the articles or whether
they are approved by critics.

THE CITY COUN,

THE CITY COUNCIL CRITICIZED.
Below is reproduced from the Bellaire
Independent, an editorial upon the action
of Council the other, night when ii refused
a hearing TO some of our manufacturers
who wished TO present in person their side
of the ease in dispute. 1t is an unpleas-
ant report to go abroad about our city, ;and
is apt to do harm. Unlriendly newspap-
ers of other cities are sure to amplify and
magnify such occurrences out Of all pro-
portions, therefore they ought
not to have the opportunity of doing so.
Considerable and courteous treatment by
our Council, of both individuals in their
private capacity, and of officers represent
ing firms and corporations, has been the
custom in the city of Wheeling, and will
continue so. The deviation from the rule
on Tuesday night was a mistake and should
not be repeated, except for good cause.
But here are the independents comments:
The Wheeling IatsiligeReer invites the
manufactures of Wellsyille, where the sup
ply of natural gas is not sufficient to Oper-
ate them, TO Wheeling This is the most
supreme bit of gall we have noticed in q
long time. Only this week the City COun-
ell Of Wheeling refused to give hearing
to o committee of manufacturers on q ques-
ton of vital Importance to the successful
operation of the industries Of that city.
The city authorities slapped the manufae-
turers, the only life left in town, in the
face, rs il were, and would not listen TO
them on the natural gas question. Vince
ling would be splendid place for other
manufacturers to seek encouragement!
The ones that are there may find this a
much more advantageous side Of the river.
We have plenty OF room in Bellaire, and n
respectful hearing and due consideration
of the interests of manufacturers is
guaranteed here.
