nsvedsn element. II has not
thought there was Q foreign contin-
gent In Saline county. The de-
scendsnts Of sWedes who are In our
midst are American citizens and
ought TO be recognized only as such.
One Of their number who chooses
to run for rominatiOn should run a.
an American citizen and not ae q
"Ewede." Some "Swedes" have
been houored by important offiees In
this county. That element IL nov re-
specially represented In official elf
cles In the county. II will be repre-
sented many times In the future, no
doubt, as they are class Of sensible
people, alive 10 their own best inter-
'ests, both politically and In BUSH
ness point Of view. They are mostly
Republicans. They are such from
principle and not for Office. They
are . clear. headed people, self
poised, aud cannot be swayed from
. defence Of their principles by the
exertIons Of men who seek 10 under
mine their party allegiance by aP-
psals to prejudice. They fully
understand that they were not IS .
class voted down In the person OF
the late "SWede" candidate for sher-
ia.
That any Of these people will,
through revengeful feelings, punish
any candidate on the Republican
ticket because Of the result Of the
primary, which was conducted a.
fairly as any preceding convention
or primary In the county ever
was, is PrePOsterous and absurd.
We have Q better opinion of
the "Swedes" than that. They
have had time to weigh all the facts
Of the present campaign, and they
can see no reason why they should
scratch q single name on the Rspub-
lIcau ticket.

BoULANGER AT A DISCOUNT.

The Brave General" Boulanger, gets
but little consolation from the French elec-
tion. Nowhere sn quickly as in France
does the tide of popularity flow and ebb, and
the mountebank politician, Boulanger, had
lots of previous experience of its swift
alterations in his own case. But his flight
from France has put his cause with the
people in contempt. He voluntarily chose
that such should be his standing before the
courts; be will not like so we'll the public
judgment.
There is nothing that Boulanger can do
for France which it may not do for itself.
He recommends constitutional changes in
a general way without too particularly
specifying a programme. His campaign is
against the existing powers, and his pur-
pose is to consolidate in himself the strength
of the various elements of the opposition.
He has dealt in high-sounding phrases and
glittering generalities, rather than specifca-
tions of practical reform. Few doubt much
that his ascendency would uncover a career
of adventure, in which personal fortune OF
himself and his associates would be the
main end. The Bourbons and the Bona
partists were expected to promote the
change, for whatever chance it might bring
them; but the flight of Boulanger took away
their fgurehead, ana the election returns
indicate that they won't fight under the
banner of voluntarily absent hero.
1t is rumored that the discounted Gen.
eral is coming to the United States. There
is no place where he would more quickly
relapse into obscurity.

OTHERS DID NOT DOUBT.

The story of private incident in Presi-
dent Lincoln's career given by his biog-
raphers, in the last issue of the Century, is
of a novel and surprising character. 1t is
to the effect that on the 23d of August 1864,
Just before Mr.. Lincoln was renominated at
Chicago, he made a memorandum stating
his belief, or perhaps more strictly his
doubt, as to whether he would be reelected,
and setting forth the course which he pro-
posed TO pursue in handing over his office to
his successor, if defeated. The story is of
such a remarkable character that it would
hav, to be regarded as an invention if it
were not vouched for in detail by witnesses
who saw the memorandum sealed up in the
presence of the Cabinet and reopened before
the same body, after Mr.. Lincoln was re-
elected.
The authority therefore being indisput-
able, the only conclusion that is left is,
that, astute politician as Mr.. Lincoln un-
doubtedly was, the circumstances at that
time induced him to take less accurate
view of the political situation in the North
than the great mass of the Northern people.
Whatever discouragements may have ex-
listed in August, 1864, the vast majority of
the Northern people had no doubt
of Mr.. Lincoln's reelection. In
deed, the indications that Mr.. Lin
coin was supported by an overwhelming
majority of the North were unmistakable
to any man who was not borne down and
harassed by the terrible responsibilities of
the military conflict. In 1862 there was
some room for doubt as to the continued
support of the administration by the North
ern States. on account of the election of
Seymour as Governor of New York, and of
Buckalew as Senator from Pennsylvania
But in 1868 doubts of this sort were removed
by the overwhelming majority with which
Ohio defeated Vallandingham, as the sup
porter of the peace policy, and the general
victory of the Union party throughout the
States of the North. When the President
is reported to have been doubtful of his
reelection, the turning point of the rebel
lion had been reached, and its death-blows
had been administered at Gettysburg, Vicks-
burg and Chattanooga; and at that very
time Atlanta was tottering to its fall into
the hands of Sherman.
If at that time President Lincoln did not
know that his reelection was a foregone
conclusion, it was only because he was so
borne down by his surroundings that he was
unable to take as clear view of the situa-
tion as the great majority of the Northern
people did.

now than it was when the Democratic
majority in Congress refused to cut down
the duty below the 6S per cent protection
which it considered to be the right thing
where Democratic interests were concerned.
We are glad to see that the Free Press
now comedies that the sugar duties should
be reduced radically, if not altogether re-
moved. That was the position which The
DISPATCH took during the tariff debate in
Congress, and it was the one supported by
a majority of the Republican Congressman.
1t the Free Press will ensure that enough
Democratic Congressman viii now adopt that
view, there is no doubt that change in
the duties can be effected at the next Con-
gress, which will put sudden stop to the
exactions OF the Sugar Trust, from the con-
sumers at large.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-07-30
INACCURATE. BUT PRAISE WORTHY.

The Detroit Free Press, which has been
vigorously and intelligently advocating the
repeal of the sugar duties, answers the
criticism that the Democratic majority in
Congress voted against the radical reduc-
tons proposed by the Republicans as
amendments to the Mills bill, by asserting
that ''the position is changed" 1t says that
now 'the sugar duty is seen to be a spe-
eial evil" because it has rendered possible
an extraordinary increase in the price of
the home product, an increase which adds
materially to the cost of living"
But this is just exactly where the es-
teemed Free Press is mistaken. In the first
place, the sugar duty has not added mate
rally to the cost of sugar, because the low
prices of sugar anterior to the Sugar Trust
were established under the duty which ex-
lists now. Nor has the position with regard
to the increase in the cost of living,
created by the Sugar Trust, changed since
the Democrats in Congress re used the rad
ical reductions which were supported by the
majority OF the Republican members. At
that time the Sugar Trust had made an
advance in the cost OF sugar to the masses,
OF three cents per pound. Sugar is some
what higher now than it was last year, but
the extra burden which the Sugar Trust I'M
poses on the consumers through excessive
charges for refining, is no larger now than
then. In other words, the difference between
the retail price of sugar and the price or
raw sugars, at the entry ports, is not greater

THE NEED OF FREE LIBRARIES.

A movement to establish free libraries in
some of the interior cities of the State has
developed lately, as if to show that the
function of public libraries is not wholly
neglected. Harrisburg proposes to use the
collection of books bequeathed by Simon
Cameron to the Y. NJ. c. A. of that city as
a nucleus. Lancaster has two or three
libraries belonging to educational institu-
tions or organized on the subscription basis;
and the proposition there is that one or all
OF them be purchased and used as the basis
for free public library.
This shows that the people of those cities
appreciate the benefit of well-equipped
Libraries open to the entire public. The
multiplication of cheap books has caused a
doubt whether there is such a necessity
for public libraries as formerly; but expert
enee is beginning to demonstrate that the
necessity for comprehensive collections of
all classes of standard literature is by no
means met by the cheap publications which
place leisure reading within the means of
the masses.
Meanwhile, as a contrast to the efforts of
Harrisburg and Lancaster, Pittsburg has
permitted an offer to establish free library
here to stand unimproved for more than
half dozen years; while the old Mercantile
Library struggles with the task of stopping
the gap until the free library is established;
and the building which was erected for the
purpose of supporting the latter institution,
bnt which never has done SO, is likely to
pass from its original public purpose to
private ownership.

THAT BRIDGE EIGHT.

The deadlock which has grown out of the
dispute between the Pittsburg. Cincinnati
and st. Louis Railway and the rivermen
over the closing of the channel for repairs
to the Steubenville bridge, looks to outside
observers like the frequent contests which
are brought on by the determination of both
parties to have their way regardless of other
interests. The contention of the rivermen
that the channel should not be closed while
it is navigable has some foundation; and, on
the other side. it is also apparent that time
of the year has been chosen for closing the
river when navigation usually is suspended.
That there is right and wrong on both sides
is more than probable; and that fact should
suggest that, as ia also the case in most
quarrels, the dispute can be much better
settled by united effort for a compromise
than the exclusively pugnacious policy.

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PITTsBURG. TUESDAY. JULY 80. 1889.
A SANITARY LESSON.

The article published elsewhere, showing
that the prevalence of typhoid fever in
Allegheny was predicted by local med
ical man, reads the public an important les
son on the necessity of constant vigilance
and unremitting and intelligent effort in
sanitary affairs.
1t appears from the statements referred
to, that this authority pointed out not only
the localities in which the disease would
prevail, but the causes which would pro-
duce it. In addition to the bad water, in
complete drainage and cellars of character
to breed disease were shown to exist. The
result proves that the causes which were thus
foreseen, and which might have been re-
moved, have produced their natural results.
The prevalence of the fever, therefore,
stands as the result of conditions which
earnest and vigilant work might have pre-
vented.
The responsibility for this sickness and
death, as thus indicated, is grave one; and
the lesson which it teaches Of the duty of
constant care in sanitation is of the utmost
importance,

Hess Chickens.
BROOKLYN, July 2e.-Mr. F. o. Clark, Super
intendent of the Brooklyn Agency of the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,
tells the foliowibg story:
"Mr. ThomasI Monahan, of Richmond Hill,
L. L, owns a letter which is one of the best
bird dogs on fi,one Island, He also owns a
number OF Chickens, some of which, owing to
their breed, ake of high value Among those
he has someF Polanders of a strain highly
esteemed by cbnnoisseurs of fancy poultry.
s'The dog Tecently took fancy to Poland
hen, which Never seemed to be afraid Of him.
When ne buld growl at her she continued
contentedly To pick up what she wanted, and
showed So little fear of him that she gradually
came closer and closer to.his kennel, until she
would drink the water out of the bowl that was
placed neal him, and peck away at the meat
bones and Other food served to him. The set
ter finally look liking to the hen and his ken
mel became, h,r nest. The attachment which
thus spru ng up was the talk of the neighbors.
The hen would not leave the kennel to return
to the chicken roost, and when she did go for a
stroll amt,ng her companions the setter would
whine as III he wanted to call her back.
Three weeks ago the hen died. after having
hatched six chickens. The dog Immediately
adopted che chickens and still watches over
them Iait nfully He drives the chickens into
his kennt tel when il begins to rain, chews up
food for them and will not allow one Of them
to stray a way At night he makes them come
back to b is kennel and lies down so that they
can nestlsa near him. Not even his owner can
go near the kennel at night, for the dog would
certainly fly at him if he did So"
