THE BUILDING STRIKE.

The striking epidemic has set in this
year with a promptness which permits the
hope that the trade disputes will be settled
enterprises go on smoothly. Nevertheless
the tendency toward permitting the wage
question to drift into actual deadlocks con-
tains possibility of contest, when it comes
to the scale question in the iron trade, that
is not entirely comfortable.
The last addition to the list of strikes was
that in the building trades yesterday. The
possibility that this will check the building
operations will not prejudice the public in
its favor. As to the points at issue, while
they may be considerably involved, it is
probably clear enough that the prices which
Pittsburg is paying for building ought to
permit the payment of good wages. 1t is
generally understood that employers in
most of the building trades have, by means
of combination, forced up prices for ordi-
nary building thirty to fifty per cent above
the average in localities no more favorably
situated. In that case it is not unfair that
the workman should get at least share of
the high prices.
On the other hand, the resolution of the
workmen to restrict apprentices and place
ban upon all except union made material,
which prevents intending builders from
buying material in open market, are, when
considered as to their effects, rather exact
ing. The workmen in this interest have not
yet sufficiently recognized the benefit to
themselves of encouraging building and
thus stimulating the demand for their
work. Their present course tends rather to
the restriction of building by high prices,
the main advantage Of which is sure to go
to the combinations rather than to the work.
men.
1t certainly is to be hoped that the strike
will be settled before it hampers building
operations When building is active, as at
present, the masters and men should be able
to share their prosperity withoutquarreling.

NOT EVEN ORIGINAL s1IL1NEss.

1t is said that President Harrison was
struck with astonishment and admiration
at the sight of the Pennsylvania Legislators
in the New York parade, shouting out to
the beat of Statesman Fow's hatchet the
syllables of our States name, and then Civ
ing in unison its shout, "Who was George
Washington? He was the father of his
country; first in war, first in peace. and
first in the hearts of his countrymen," end
ing with the usual breakdown.
The spectacle of body of law makers
exhibiting their lung power in this way
would certainly be very instructive to a
thoughtful President, though admiration is
not the sentiment which it would naturally
evoke. Like the idea of carrying elections,
involving the economic policy of nation,
by similar parrot-like vociferations, it can
only be taken as the measure of the insensi-
bility of the shouters to brains as balance
for believing. Considering the spread of
this resort to wind as political method, its
adoption by the Pennsylvania legislators is
not surprising; but what is remarkable is
the apparent fact that President Harrison
and some of the commentators on this stroke
of legislative genius, regard this outcry as
novel invention of Statesman Fow and his
followers.
If Nc. Fow had indeed originated, and
his fellow-member practiced a new method
for the display of the strength of their lungs
it might be compensation for the utter alb
sence of legislative ability to do anything
but obey orders from their proprietors, But
not even that solace is denied the State.
Their shout is an old Renaissance of college
nonsense, sillier than the average under
graduate Stiffness, and moldy by its descent
from the antediluvian era prior to 1876.

THE AMBITION OF SHAM.

The suicide of young man named Lewis
in New York last week, like those which
have taken place recently here, is calculated
to create doubts as to whether mankind is i'm
proving in the qualities of sturdiness and
virility. When it appears from the state
ment which the young man left for the
world to read after he had deposited himself
in the Central Park reservoir, that he
shu fled off this mortal coil becauseh he found
the income of 81 200 year insufficient to let
him appear as leader of fashion and one of
the gilded youth, the only satisfactory indi-
cation as to the improvement of humanity
which it affords lies in its indirect evidence
as to the survival of the ittest.
Having determined to leave the world be-
cause an income double that of the average
worker would not satisfy the noble ambition
of posing as swell, or win him fame as an
exemplifcation of the sartorial creation of
man, it must be admitted that the young
man planned an exit entirely in harmony
with his character. He dressed himself in
his most elegant clothes, wrote on mourning
paper his reasons for taking his plunge into
the Central Park reservoir and dthenextworld,
and directed that the stricken, admiring
world should celebrate his obsequies by two
funerals-one in DR.. Halls Fifth Avenue
Church, and another in church at Pough-
keepsie, where his father lived. Having
provided for these solaces in death for the
failure of that noble ambition for fame,
of which the fates robbed him in life, he
dropped himself into the reservoir and in
spired the community the next day with
equal disgust at his foolishness and at the
water ii which he obtained dissolution.
The trouble with young Lewis was very
very much like that of Mr.. Floppy Fly in
the nonsense verses, whose life was blasted
BY the fact that "he could not 60 to court;
because his legs were all too Short" and
the suicide seems to have approximated
very closely to the intelligence and vital
value of that insect. 1t is a revelation to
find that man can be so utterly devoid of
intelligence or spirit; but, being such fool,
perhaps he did the best thing he could with
himself. At all events it is to be hoped
that the parade which he ordered for his
funeral was obeyed. If the pomposity and
show of obsequies are furnished to order in
such cases, the idiocy of it may lead sensible
people to forswear funeral parade and dis
tinguish themselves from the fools by
ordering the plainest and quietest DISPOSE
tion of their mortal remains that is possible
While recognizing that this young man
did the world possible service by taking
himself out of it, it should be impressed
upon all who feel inspired by his example
that they must not spoil so much valuable
drinking water as he did.

PUNISH THE BALL MANAGERS.

No American can have read the account
of the drunken orgies at the Centennial
ball in New York Oh Monday night without
experiencing disgust and righteous anger.
II it had been a mere public ball in honor
Of the day, but not expressly representative
of the Empire City's celebration, its termi-
nation in tipsy disorder would not have
been so disgraceful to the city of New
York. Unhappily it is not alone the great
city on the Hudson that has been dishon-
ored, but the nation which Joined her in
the making the Centennial glorious, must
suffer likewise in the eyes of the world,
Some Of the managers of the ball should
be made to suffer for allowing such scan-
dalous disposal of the oceans of champagne.
1t ought not to be difficult to fix the respon-
sibility for the beastly scenes enacted in the
supper room. The idea of serving the wine
in magnums to anyone and everyone would
hardly have been countenanced at a French
ball. 1t is not surprising that under these
conditions men and women became so disor-
derly under the influence of the champagne
bath that the police were forced to literally
raid the supper room at last to obtain order.
The whole business is blot on the good
name Of New York.
OF course at such a seasC Is this the eyes
of the world are on America. Cannot the
critics of Europe ask with reasonsif these
ace the manners and morals Of Republicans,

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PITTsBURG, THURSDAY. MAY 2, ISS8.
THE MILK COMBINES.

The milk shippers combination, which
started out with such flourish of trumpets
as to the way in which it was going to con-
troll the trade, has gone to pieces. The
dealers who were to be disciplined by that
organization are correspondingly exalted.
This was the inevitable result of the at
tempt at copying the trust methods of ar
bitrary restriction of supply, and started
out to make the business losing one. In a
trade on which no restriction can be put,
such methods always react most severely on
those who resort to them.
It remains to be seen whether the dealers
will be able to perceive the lesson, that the
policy of monopoly cannot be applied to a
trade that is open to every farmer owning
herd of cows. Or will they pursue the
vision of combination and high prices to-
ward which they have already shown such
a decided leaning? The former is the course
of common sense and honest business. The
latter Is the one most IN vogue at present.
If the milk leaders adopt the latter plan
they will only hasten the time when union
of producers, by adopting the legitimate
method of distributing milk at reduction
from the middlemen's present excessive
charges, will make success of it.
