corruption and privilege, is to be false to its
profession of governing for the benefit of the
whole community; while the monarchy that
creates or enriches a nobility has at least
the aspect of sincerity. France has habit
of correcting Its abuses by revolution; and
if the half of what is told concerning the
condition of France be true, it would be not
strange if the expectation of riot in the
streets of Paris before the close of 1889
should be fulfilled.
This condition of affairs should have its
warning for this country. We are less
mercurial than the French and revolution
is, happily, an unknown resort; but we
have altogether too much, in municipal,
State and National Government and in our
economic system, of evils kindred to those
in France. The people have the power to
stop them; but it should bethe effort of
every thoughtful man TO defend the stability
and increase the strength of our system, to
arouse the people to the work of putting
down corruption and preventing the opera
tion of all influences that enrich the few at
the cost of the masses.

BEGGARs AND CHARITY.

An article in the Churchman gives the
assurance by gentleman who is vouched
for as versed in charitable work, that there
Gus mendicancy in New York" This
is hardly more than any observer could as
certain for himself. The growth of street
begging during late years has been testi-
mony at once to the amount of carelessness
which submits to be bled by importantly,
and imagines itself to be charitable, and to
the neglect of public duty which permits
such things. 1t was recognized genera
tion ago as function of the Government to
provide for the destitute, and to suppress
mendicancy. In view of the fact that the
neglect of the duty is sure to produce beg
gars. the growth of that class, while recog-
nized as undeserving, should be regarded
less as the fault of the ignorant imposters
than of the public spirit which permits
them to ply their vocation in public.
OF course there are a great many people
in need of assistance who shrink from be-
coming charges upon the public, in aims
houses. But such people are the last to beg

house to house. For such cases, we are
told, there is almost a superabundance of
provision from all sorts Of organized chari-
ties which, it is asserted, overlap and COM
pete with, each other SO strenuously as to
stimulate pauperism by their very search for
some one to aid.
This may be true; and yet it is hardly
likely to be true that there is too much real
charity: In fact it indicates that there may
be too much eleemosynary charity and too
little of the true charity which consists in
seeking out those who need aid and seeing
that they have fair chance to earn q liv-
ing. The charity which will do the poor
the most good is not that which gives them
coal, food or clothing for nothing, but that
which aids them in getting fair wages for
good square work and laying aside enough
of it to provide against adversities.
This suggests another thought which
should impress itself upon the minds of all

THAT STREET RAILWAY BILL.

An interview in another column this
morning upon the new street railway bill,
whose presentation at Harrisburg has caused
such wide comment, gives the history of the
measure. 1t appears to have started for the
object, commendable and proper in itself,
of protecting the capital invested in a num-
Der OF Pittsburg roads whose charters were
considered fatally affected by Supreme
Court decision last fall. The declared pur-
pose was simply to permit these lines to be
re-chartered legally. 1t is needless to say
that no one would think of objecting to that.
Nobody wishes that capital should suffer
through some mere legal technicality; and
public sentiment would resent as totally un-
called-for any attempt by the State authori-
ties to suspend the functions of roads af-
fected by disability arising from no fault
of their own.
Were this all, the bill would meet the
quiet approval which is given to every un-
Objectionable measure. But it seems that
Philadelphia interests insisted upon tack
ing on to it the preposterous clause practi-
cally preventing the construction of any
istence. We do not know what notion may
exist among the passenger railroad people
of Philadelphia about the views of the
fancied rights of the remaining several
million persons who go to make up the
State; but, to put it mildly, it must be pre-
sumed that in asking for virtual monopoly
they had not counted upon the public inter-
ests and public policy which efectually
forbid such grant.
THE DISPATCH is glad to be assured
that the Questionable clause did not
emanate from the passenger railways of
Pittsburg. Everybody in Pittsburg realizes
that the new brains, new enterprise and
new money infused into the local lines have
been of the greatest public benefit and con-
venience. No one begrudges the handsome
profits which will accrue to investors. The
companies need no assurance of effective
public support for such fair and reasonable
legislation as they may want. But it would
be fatal to this feeling to persist in such
demands as those in the bill offered on
Friday. The Pennsylvania Railroad might
as we'll ask the exclusion of all future lines
from this State Such a request, a little
forethought would suggest, is impolitic to
make and impossible to grant.
The bill should be restored to its original
form at once, providing for the re-chartering
of such companies as have been affected by
the Supreme Court decision There is
probably not man in the Legislature who
could give any good reason for voting |
against it in that shape; while it is equally |
true that it would puzzle the most ingenious
to make any sort of plausible pretense for
voting for it as it stands.

PITTsBURG, SUNDAY, JAN. 20. ISS
AN nnTSPnKEN VERDICT.

The Coroner's jury, in its verdict concern
ing the Wiley building disaster, cannot be
accused of falling into the usual tone of
such bodies, which is expressed in the pro-
verbal verdict of "no one to blame" On
the contrary it distributes blame to nearly
everyone connected with the work in an un-
sparing manner.
There will be few to find fault with the
verdict as whole, although there may be
differences of opinion as to its details. The
case was certainly one of hasty construction
with little care for safety or anything else,
except to get up an immense building in the
shortest possible time. All who were con-
nected with that sort of work should bear
the responsibility. The verdict distributes
it unsparingly but not unjustly.
There is also public responsibility, not
onlv in respect to the duties of the Building
Inspector, but that which is shown by the
declaration that our building laws are in
sufficient and loose. The people should take
it in hand to see all deficiencies remedied,
and complete safeguards provided against
the repetition of such disasters.

CARDINAL LAvIGERIE has brought over
from Africa two graceful gazelles as present
to Leo XIII; they have been housed in a corner
of the Vatican gardens, and the Pope never

out stopping in front of the enclosure where
the animals have become quite tame.
ROSE ELIZABETH CLEVELAND is writing
another novel. The story is based upon her ex-
periences in Washington society, and is filed
with satire of gentle but effective kind. There
is murder in the plot a Presidential election,
a crisis in the Senate, divorce case, and vari-
GUS minor incidents of an interesting charac-
ter. In spite of these sensational features the
novel is written in a highly intellectual vein,
and is said by those who have read it to recall
the style of George Eliot,
IT is reported that the Pope never allows a
fire in any Of the eight rooms of the Vatican
which he inhabits. These rooms are, with the
exception of the library, small and low, and the
Pope's habits are So simple that he does not
even require dining room, but takes his
meals either in his bedroom or in the library
The other day the bedroom was moved to
higher floor, as the room in which the Pope had
chapel. On one of the officials remarking that
the upper rooms would be too hot for habita-
ton during the summer months, the Pope
quietly replied: "Then 1 shall have my bed
put into the library"

ton something was said regarding restaurants
''By the way" said one, what does the word
restaurant signify?" Quick as a flash, Rayard
said: ut comes from res a thing, and,

laughter that greeted this sally settled the i'm
of the joke, and professors and stu
dents alike delight to repeat it.

A SINGULAR RECOMMENDATION.

The argument by which the Secretary of
War reaches the conclusion that it win be
too costly to improve the Ohio by movable
dams, and that therefore it is best to wait
until the traffic becomes larger, would be a
practical mockery of the hope of improving
that waterway if it were not for the obvious
fact that it is the outgrowth of complete
ignorance with reference to the subject Al
most any schoolboy along the Ohio could
have told the Secretary that the shrinkage
of that river has compelled its disuse for
most classes of freighting and that the
traffic, with the exception of the coal ship
ments which 60 down on high water, have
diminished for lack of reliable navigation.
If the traffic could expand, there would be
no need of improving the river. To calmly
suggest that the improvements must wait
until the business enlarges is like recon-
mending that starving child should not be
fed until it grows strong enough to earn its
own dinner

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

IF THE baby cries all night do not walk the
floor with him. Leave that to his nurse.
AsGoop way to warm a house is to saturate
the floors with kerosene and apply a match.
YOUNG married people starting out on $500
a year can get along very well without French
chef in the kitchen.
OATMEAL is a very good dish for breakfast,
but when served more than ten times in two
weeks is conducive to discomfort
If YOU rent the house you live in be careful
of it. Do not scratch matches on the parlor
walls, nor dust the staircases by falling down
them.
No MATTER how informally you may live,
neither the parlor center table nor the dining
room floor is the proper place to hang your
silk hat.
PERSONS living in Dakota should never tie
their dog to the body of the house. If the
house blew away in blizzard you might lose
the dog.
Do NOT speak unkindly to the burglar who
stands over you with loaded revolver in his
hand. You might make him 50 nervous that he
would shoot you.
NEVER borrow less than pound of butter or
a ton of coal from your neighbor. He does not
expect to be paid back, and you should always
make the best Of your opportunities.
NEVER 1orget TO wipe your Ieet on tne mat
on very muddy days. The mat is there for that
purpose, and you need not be afraid of hurting
its feelings, even if it does have the word
welcome printed across its face.
BE KIND to the police. Occasionally give
them one or two scent cigars. saying that they
are your favorite brand. Your own cigars will
last longer for this little attention to your
cooks beau, because once having smoked your
favorite brand he will ever thereafter decline
to smoke one again.-New York Evening Sun.

THE GROWTH OF BUILDING.

The total of buildings in Allegheny for
the last year shows that S17 were constructed
at an aggregate cost of 81, 463, 900. This
is less in proportion to the population of the
two cities than in Pittsburg, for the good
reason that the level plain in Allegheny is
all occupied and the problem of bringing in
the hill sections back of the city is not
fully solved. The totals of both cities pre-
sent picture OF the growth of the entire
community known as Pittsburg, although
it leaves out of account the rapidly spread
ing villages outside of the city lines, along
the various railroads A total of 3,O36 new
buildings, however, makes such a good
showing that we can afford to leave the
suburban growth out of the calculation-at
least until some method is found to include
the whole in a comprehensive report. If
Pittsburg can keep up the conservative
prosperity which has produced this growth,
for q few years, it will be better for 1t than
apy boom,

1T WOULD HAVE BEEN HEARD BEFORE.

IF there is the slightest truth in a rumor
sent here all the way from England that
Andrew Carnegie is to be Secretary of the
Interior, the next fact which may be set
down with certainty is that Mr.. Blaine will
be Secretary of the Exterior.
President Harrison may have hit upon
the suggestion of Carnegie as delicate way
out of the dilemma of having to pass upon
the suitability of Mr.. Blaine himself for a
place in the Cabinet. To nominate our
former townsman could only be taken as a
compliment to Blaine, by association with
whom last summer Mr.. Carnegie obtained
the only prominence he so far had in the
eyes of politicians. To Mr.. Carnegie him
self the President-elect is not particularly
indebted, as, according to all reports at the
time, the former was eager that the Plumed
knight should allow his own name to go
directly before the convention.
No one doubts that the Braddock manu-
facturer would make competent Secretary
of the Interior. But there is great room to
doubt that if the place were offered to him,
we would have to wait till the story went to
England and came back before hearing

THE VITAL NEED.

The report of the Ford Committee on the
subject of pauper immigration, leaves no
question as to the magnitude of the evil.
The facts submitted place beyond dispute
the practical notification of the law, and
the systematic pouring in upon this country
of a vast mass of the pauperized, ignorant and
vicious element of European countries.
This being admitted, the question of
remedy becomes a vital one. The commit
tee submits bill comprising very stringent
measures, most of which can be approved in
the abstract. But the probable value of
such legislation is reduced to a minimum
by the obvious tact that the laws which we
already have are practically a dead letter.
The report itself shows that if the present
law had been enforced the evils could never
have reached the magnitude complained of.
What promise does the bill hold out that
its provisions will not also be nullifed by
incompetent or dishonest officials?
This report, like the statement of great
many other evils, should open the eyes of
our Legislators to the fact that what this
country needs is not so much new laws as
to get the old ones honestly enforced.

THE LIGHT WENT OUT
Before Sullivan Had Hk Say, and the
Town Went Republican.


rFRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT
HARRISBURG, January 19.-Henry Hall, the
brilliant young member from Mercer, tells this
story of his campaigning III Indiana: Arriving
at town at which he was engaged to speak,
he learned that owing to a mistake he was
billed for the next night. To put in the time
away. The miners were discussing various
things, but wheD they found that foreign
speaker was at their door they invited him in
and in he went.
He was introduced as "The Boy Miner" al
though he was never in a mine in his life. He
was in for it. however, and he started in with
red-hot Republican speech. 1t dismayed the
Democrats in the audience, and they quickly
sent for Michael Sullivan, the Democratic
boss, and Mike arrived as the speaker was in
the midst ola beautiful flight of rhetoric.
Mike advanced to the center of the room,
and breaking in on the speaker, asked: "Phwat
the divil does this mane?'
sit down." said Hall.
But want to know. persisted Mike.
"Sit down." said Hall, "you will have your
chance to speak," -.
YES" said Mike, "an' thrue for yez, I'll
sphake me say, and yez'll hear from me-"
;th hass h;s all right said Hall, and he went % on
dwelt on the benefits of protection and was
cheered. As he neared the close of his speech
he whispered to Republican friend who sat
on the platform. The Republican friend circu-
lated through the audience. Presently the
astute Hall finished in blaze of glory, there
was mighty cheer went up, and in an instant
every light went out, and Michael Sullivan
found himself hustled down stairs before he
had time to catch his breath. The meeting
had adjourned and Mike didn't have chance
to say his say
That town went Republican for the first time
in its history, and Mike Sullivan's power was
