PARKS AND WATER.

The announcement that the Bedford ave-
nue. basin is to be abandoned and its site
used for park may be presumed to apply
only to the lower basin, near the High
School building. Otherwise there would be
decided public objections to the change.
Even as it is, there may be room for discus
sion as to its advisability.
A park on the site of the basin would be a
welcome addition to the open spaces of the
city, where it would do much good. But there
is other open ground available; and even
the much desired parks are not as important
as constant, abundant and pure water sup
ply. 1t is not so very long since the lower
part of the city was suffering from water
famine, caused by break in the pipes con-
Meeting it with the Hiland reservoirs. The
DISPATCH pointed out at the time that if
the Bedford avenue reservoirs were put in
proper condition and kept full as storage
reservoirs the danger of such shortages
would be materially lessened.
If the upper Bedford avenue basin can be
made to retain an ample supply to guard
against Interruptions of the mains, the
abandonment of the lower basin is permis-
sible. But it should be made absolutely
certain that the supply kept available for
the lower part Of the city is ample to avoid
all danger of shortage. As to the talk of
"local impurities" in the Bedford basin, it
is hard to conceive that they refer to any
thing more than the assertions that drainage
from the surrounding hills has been per-
mitted to get into the basin. 1t ought not
to have been difficult for engineering skill
to prevent that in the past, nor should it be,
in the future.
On the proviso that the water supply be
kept ample for all contingencies the new
park will be great improvement But
without that condition fully met, the
project is questionable.

NOT A CONCLUSIVE TEST.

A test of the Australian ballot system is
reported to have been made in Montana at
the election held there last week, and the
report of its operation is quite favorable,
The votes were polled rapidly, and all the
voting was done early in the day. The fact
that neither party made a clean sweep of
the Offices, and that marked gains and
losses were made BY each side in their re-
spective strongholds, is held to indicate that
the secret ballot had its due effect.
This is very well as far as it goes, but it
can hardly be taken to furnish conclusive
test. Montana has no crowded election
districts. like the Eastern States, where the
whole day is required to get in the votes.
1t is not likely to have much of class like
that of the Eastern cities whose vote is often
made a matter Of merchandise; nor is it
likely that the settlers and ranchmen are so
lacking in independence that the gain of
secresy makes anv material difference in
their vote. The changes shown in different
places are easily explicable by the character
OF the election; and we can see little reason
to think that the vote would have been ma
terially different if it had been cast by the
ordinary method. The Australian system
may be the specific for our political ills, but
it requires more thorough test than that
which Montana gives, to make certain of it.

A PERSISTENT M1ssTATEMENT.

The views of Representative Milliken, of
Maine, as reported by our special dispatches
yesterday, show that the Maine Congress
man has accepted the usual cheap misrep-
resentation with regard to the Standard Oil
Company, that the agents of that monopoly
have industriously spread for the past few
years. The Sugar Trust, Mr.. Milliken
thinks, is a very bad thing; but the Stand
ard Oil Trust as ''the pioneer in furnishing
illuminating oil' did great public service.
People who know anything about the sub
ject know that the Standard Oil Company
much less the Trust-was not the pioneer
either in the development of wells, the
transportation of petroleum by pipeline, or
the refining of petroleum. 1t was the
pioneer only in the business of monopoliz-
ing by the aid of freight Determinations.
But the representation has so frequently
been made that a great many people, like
Mr.. Milliken, honestly believe it. For the
Standard purposes a lie, well stuck to, is
better than the truth.

SENSE FOR THE SOUTH.

In view of the large amount of silly talk
about ''the race problem in the South, - it is
encouraging and should be instructive to
the Southern people to find positive Dem
ocratic paper like the Philadelphia Record
telling then that the way to solve the diff
Guilty is to adopt the means of enlightenment
and civilization. That paper declares that
the true method of solving ''the negro
problem" is to give the colored people their
legitimate social and political rights; to
protect them in their citizenship, and aid
them in obtaining the education which
would make them better citizens, and to
frown down partisan appeals to race preiu-
dice. If the Southerners can pay attention
to this solid truth from steadfast Northern
Democratic journal, and abandon the shot
gun for the school, they will soon dispose
ofthat trace of barbarism which is dignifed
by the title of the race issue.

PITTsBURG, TUESDAY, OCT. S, 1859.
A POSSIBLE RAILROAD EXTENSION

The report that Mr.. Andrew Carnegie is
about concluding the negotiations which
will give him control of partly completed
railroad from Akron to Fort Wayne, thus
giving the Pittsburg and Western direct
connection with Chicago, is full of interest
to Pittsburg.
The report may OF course be new INSTALL
ment of the rumors which have been so
abundant concerning PIttsburg's railroad
connections; but it has many features which
give it weight. The most salient of these
are the rapid growth of the Pittsburg and
Western to prominent position in the
competition for Pittsburg's freight traffic;
and Mr.. Carnegie's active work in securing
the advancement OF the competing influence.
The acquisition of the connection on terms
which will make the Pittsburg and Western
direct and solidly capitalized line from
Pittsburg to Chicago appears to be prac-
ticable and promising measure.
One thing may be taken as certain, Pitts
burg will never again be without competi-
ton for her magnificent freight traffic.

school being run with law court and Jail
as an annex, but we can readily imagine
what comfort the annex would be to the
teachers. Superintendent Reynolds. we
trust, has thought out the scheme to q
conclusion. 1t will never do to stop at the
Indictment of whispering scholars. Scholars
who are late in arriving at school should
be hauled up before the nearest magistrate
and charged with contempt of court. The
rosy-faced boy who climbs in at the back
window, and reveals his presence by the
rending of his knickerbockers on a nail. can
undoubtedly be charged with burglary.
The little girl who takes two picture cards
of that superb artistic order only known to
Sunday schools where one is her due, is
guilty of larceny. The babe who bor-
rows a pencil and swallows it with
out due notice to the owner might
possibly be tried on charge of larceny by
bailee-but we are little foggy on this
point The Supreme Court could decide
upon it, and for once earn its large salary.
What ofense in law the hardened villain in
kills or muslin skirts who makes faces at
his or her dear, kind teacher would be
guilty of, is also hard to tell, though prob
ably disorderly conduct tending to provoke
breach of the peace would cover it.
Under a strict administration, with a
magistrate and two of the largest-sized po-
licemen obtainable in the vestibule to carry
out the law, Sunday school might indeed
be made fearful and gorgeous institution.
What respect for the strong arm OF the law
and the gentle hand of religion would be
instilled into the hearts of the little onesl

A BEAR HUNT IN CHICAGO.
A Wild Animal Gets Loose, Frightening
Ladies' and Fighting Policemen.

Wild Animal Gets Loose, Frightening
Ladies and Fighting Policemen.
CHICAGO, October 7.-There was an exciting
scene in an alley near the intersection of North
avenue and Larrabee street about l o'clock
this morning. The principals were big black
bear, woman and two police officers. The
bear was the property of Noble & Long of
Westside show, and was kept in a cage locked
up in a barn. The animal, having been con-
fined in the cage all day without anything to
eat, began to get uneasy about evening and
broke out of his cage. Several persons knew
that the bear had escaped from the cage, but
supposed that the barn was locked and that
the animal was safe. So it was for six hours
and more, but about II o'clock the animal
managed to loosen one of the boards on the
side of the building and climb down. Then he
began a silent tour of the streets in that vi
cinity. AS near as can be learned Bruin went
down Halstead street to North avenue, and
wandered about there without meeting any
body until 1t came to Larrabee street. As the
animal went arofnd the corner a woman came
around the same corner, going in an opposite
way.
What followed can be easily imagined. The
female screamed and ran, the bear roared and
gave chase. 1t was a race for life, the woman
afterward told the officers and it is reasonable
to believe that it was, for the :animal was hun
cry and not any too tame a beast. Fortunately
Sergeant Frenzen and Officer Maloney heard
the.lady's screams, and they fastened to her
assistance. AS the officers rounded the corner
of an alley both fell headforemost over the
bear. The tight that ensued was bloody in the
extreme, and it was not until both men had
discharged the contents of their revolvers IA
shots in all, into the carcass of the bear that
Bruin was killed. search for the lady was
made, and she was found in dead faint about
a block away.

One of Its Advocates Says IL is the Only
Barrier Against Socialism.
CHICAGO, October Judge James G.
Mcguire, of San Francisco, for some years a
prominent figure in California Democratic
politics and more recently distinguished as
Henry Georges chief lieutenant on the Pacific
Coast, is in the city, tie guest of the Chicago
Single Tax Club. He delivered an address
on the single tax question here this evening.
In the course of an interview this afternoon he
said: The adoption of the single tax is, in
my opinion, destined to be the next great step
In the order of social evolution. The times are
are being attracted toward it. Discoveries and
inventions within the last 45 years have in
creased the average ealth-producing power of
man more than eleven-fold. This enormous
displacement of labor has been of immense ad-
vantage to the world, but the great masses of
the laboring people have not adequately shared
the advance. Under such conditions the tend
ency of wages has naturally been toward the
starvation standard, and the laborers not sue
cessful in finding employment have been
transformed into mighty armies OF tramps and
paupers such as no previous age in the world
has ever known. These conditions have natur-
ally produced strikes, boycotts and incipient
revolutions throughout the civilized world-an
substantially unsuccessful, Dut all tending to
aid in preparing the different classes, trades
and callings now acting separately for the GER
tain terrible crisis, when, maddened by con-
slant injustice and previous failures, these
destroy the civilization which, to them, has
been SO harsh.
'These people have a real grievance, which
the friends of modern individualism must
ascertain and remove, or they must be prepared
at no distant day to fall into the gulf of state
socialism, toward which all of our present
wealth and labor combinations are directly and
rapidly tending. Against this tendency to
socialism, the single tax is the only rational
barrier which is being raised"

The unique argument is offered to the
public, through the local columns of an
esteemed cotemporary, that because manu-
facturers contracted with competing gas
companies in times past, at low rates, and
have had to pay from two TO ten times as
much, after the competing companies were
absorbed, therefore their experience is a
warning against patronizing opposition COM
panies. Considering the remarkable con-
trast thus presented between rates under
competition and under combination, the
manufacturers who are now starting COM
panies of their own may be pardoned if they
think the argument shows the desirability of
keeping up the competition.

WASHINGTON, October 9.-Some time ago
the Collector Of Customs at New York wrote
to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue in
regard to 25 barrels of American whisky ex.
ported to Hamburg and subsequently re.
turned. The whisky was produced between the
8th and 18th of January 1856, and was withdrawn
for export January 3d. 1882 The Collector gave
it as his opinion that the expectation and re-im-
portation of these goods within short period
of time, tending to result in the escape from
the payment of an overdue internal revenue
tax by a temporary deposit abroad. furnishes
presumptiye evidence to indicate an ORIGINAL
intention Of the persons interested in the Shin
ment to return the whisky to the United
States
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue re.
ported the case to the Secretary of the Treas
ury with a recommendation that the spirits in
question be not admitted to entry under Sec
ton 25O0 Revised statutes, but that they he
treated as subject to internal revenue tax. The
Secretary approved this Recommendation and
authorized the Collector at New York to take
the steps prescribed by Article 100 of the in
ternal revenue rules for the delivery of the
goods to the Collector of Internal Revenue for
the Second district of New York.

There is a Sunday school superin-

reformer with a Big r. Last Sunday
morning when the Second M. E. Church
Sunday school had assembled, Superin-

scholars that if any of them were caught
whispering while anyone was addressing
them they would be prosecuted before an
alderman for disturbing a religious meeting.
Some of the scholars were guilty of being
surprised a. such remarks in a Sunday

the school is likely to fall Off We trust
that the Superintendent will not be led to
abandon the firm position he has taken.

Different Decisions in Reference to the ADJ
mission of Foreign Brass Bands.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH
WASHINGTON, October THE Detroit Com
mandery Knights Templar came into conflict
with the alien contract labor prohibitory law in
the employment of Canadian band to attend
them to the conclave now in progress here
Detroit bands objected and threatened the
commandery with prosecution. Officers of the
latter addressed the Secretary of the Treasury
on the subject. asking for a special dispensa-
tion in their behalf, but were Informed the law
is imperative and they could not make a con-
tract with the alien musicians. The contract
was annulled, the foreign band gave a concert
tract was made on American soil, thus evading
the law. If suit be brought, however, it will
require strong proof under the circumstances
to establish the position that it was not de-
hberate intent to evade the law.
There have been some curious decisions in
regard to alien musicians. A foreign band
which came to New York under contract was
prevented from leaving the vessel by the
customs officers. A writ of habeas corpus was
granted against the officer and the musicians
were brought ashore. When the case was tried
in the United States Court the Judge decided
the hornblowers were artists "a class excepted
from the operation of the law, and the band
was allowed to play.
A Cuban band had different experience at
Key West A local band appealed to the Dis
trict Attorney, who decided in sympathy with
the New York Judge. The local band appealed
to the Secretary of the Treasury, who decided
that the members of the band were not artists,
and that they were liable to prosecution under
the law if they performed under contract
In the case of the New York decision there
was no appeal from the decision of the Judge
so that in one case the band has the title of
artists and the other of musicians, or common
craftsmen.
