ENGLISH PROTECTION FOR Us.

The English syndicate has bobbed up
again in this country and this time in con-
nection with truly patriotic scheme to pro-
hibit the importation of foreign mineral
waters by procuring the imposition thereon
of duty of eighty per cent. 1t is a sweet
and precious thing to see blarsted Britons
actually striving to protect American pro-
ducts. No more millennial vision has been
vouchsafed to US since America grew strong
enough to walk alone. Let us look at the
dazzling pbantasms little closer.
In the first place it is said that at the re-
cent Mineral Water Convention held in Chi
csgo, the sum of $5O, 900 was subscribed to
be used to influence Congress in the direc-
ton of placing prOhibitory duty on ship
ments from European springs, and the figure
of such duty is placed at so per cent. With
such tariff it is thought either that the for
eign importations will cease entirely or that
the price will be advanced to such figure as
will justify but few hotel or restaurant
keepers in the country in carrying foreign
importations in stock except at an exorbi-
tant figure.
From London the news comes simultan-
eously by cable that an English syndicate
has been formed to buy outall the important
mineral water springs in America. The
capital of this syndicate is said to be twenty
five millions of dollars, and its directorate
according to the same authority includes at
least three members of Lord Salisbury's
Ministry. The inference has been drawn that
in view of the sale of the American springs
to this syndicate the movement in favor

A NEW DEPARTURE.

An Allegheny county jury yesterday
ignored the argument of drunkenness as a
plea for lessening the degree in a murder
case. The point was made that this excep-
ton was perhaps because of the color of the
defendant Such, however, is hardly to be
taken as the case. The danger of making it
a rule to bring in verdiets of the second de-
gree wherever drunkenness might be shown,
probably had more weight with the jury.
But even in this instance the Court an
nounced that there were extenuating circum-
stances, soSmith has chance for Executive
clemency. The only difference between the
result Of this and other such cases previous
ly passed upon, is that the prisoner in the
present instance will not get off with merely
a twelve years sentence, but may have to
stay immured for life.

SCATTERING CENSUS WORK.

We regret to learn that the superintend-
ent of the eleventh census is showing dis
position to fall into the usual vice of his
office in the shape of an attempt to make
the census cover every possible detail of
life in the United States. The experience
with the tenth census was enough to con-
vince everyone that the scope of the census
work should be restricted rather than en-
larged. But the temptation to spread out
all over the country and throughout the
next decade appears to be too much for Mr..
Porter, as will be seen from the following
list of subjects that he hopes to tackle, If
he can get Congress to authorize it:
He intends not only to count the people, but
TO ascertain what language is spoken by every
person; how many children each married
woman has borne; how many mulattoes, quad
rooms and octoroons are included in our col
ored population; the influence of race upon
fecundity and mortality; the relation of occu-
pations to death rates, and to particular causes
of deaths; the financial condition of every
county. city, town, and incorporated village in
the United States at the end of every year
since 1850, with full analysis of receipts, ex-
penses and assets; the business Of railroad. tel
egraph, telephone and express companies; with
a variety of new features in relation to irri-
cation, dairy, and poultry products, ranch
cattle and animals other than those on FARMS"
There is, no doubt, a large amount of in
teresting information to be ascertained in
these,lines of research. But the experience
of the last census in dealing with much less
detailed and scattering statistics, is enough
to convince any reasonable mind of the i'm
practicability of the scheme. What is
needed in the census is a prompt completion
of the returns. Let us have the leading
facts properly summarized and got together
within the first two or three years
of the decade. Statistical information
and reference to anything and everything,
and dragging along so far after the census
year as to lose value when they are pub
lished, are labor and money thrown away.
Let Mr.. Porter confne himself to the
work already mapped out for him by Con-
gress. If he does that thoroughly and
promptly he will beat the record of his pre-
decessors.

A CHANCE FOR THE LOST.

There has been some desultory talk before
about establishing in this city refuge and
reformatory home for unfortunate women, but
yesterday the movement took tangible
shape owing to the efforts ofsome noble women
and the assistance of several of our city
clergy. 1t now seems tolerably certain that
such a home will be set up, and that the un-
fortunate women whose degradation puts
them to-day further beyond the help of
Christian civilization than the very savage as
yet undiscovered in Central Africa, will at
last be given a chance and encouragement
to come out of the darkness.
1t is not reasonable to believe that this
courageous effort to face and fight hideous
enormity in our boasted system of civiliza-
ton will be frowned down or allowed to
fails from want of proper support. There
ought to be enough hearts and purses in
Pittsburg to respond to the appeal which
will shortly be made in behalf of this insti-
tuition to establish it upon firm basis. No
such place is to be found here to-day, but in
other large cities in this country, and uni
versally in the Old World, such homes for
the most unfortunate of women have done
and are still doing incalculable good, and
that which could be done in no other way.

The Bank Failure of To-day Recalls Incl

McCauIl's Ahairs-An IdyI of the
Sixth Street Bridge.
EVERYBODY was talking Of bank failures
yesterday; retailing experiences and bits of gos-
sip about the Penn Bank smash and other dark
financial days.
One story of that awful Penn Bank collapse
that was told to me has never been in print,
although good many people know it. Among
the depositors in the hank was young railroad
clerk He had accumulated 81. 900, and every
cent of it was in the Penn Bank
when it suspended payment for the first time.
When that institution reopened its doors and
reports were given out by the friends of the
bank that large sums had been lent to it to tide
over the rough weather, the young man whose
savings were at stake was urged by his COM
panions in the office to draw his money ont.
But he refused to very manfully; he was salts
fed to let his money rest, he said now that the
bank had all the money it needed. and the sup
port of SO many wealthy men.
We know how misplaced that confidence was
now but it is surprising at this day to know
how many smart men of business were deluded
into belief of the Penn Banks solvency after
its first suspension.

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PlTTsBURG, SATURDAY. NOV. q, 1889.
MR.. sHoEKBERGER,s BENEvoLENCE.

Again are the annals of Pittsburg en-
riched with the record of the magnificent
charity of one of her citizens. The name of
the late John II. Shoenberger must be in
scribed in letters of gold upon the swelling
roll Of Pittsburg's benefactors. He is already
known as a generous friend of the city
where his wealth was amassed, and where,
until of late years, he lived, but he pre-
ferred to reserve till be was beyond the
reach or care of earthly praise his greatest
gifts to this community.
As will be seen in another column of this
issue, the bequests to public objects con-
tanned in Mr.. shoenberger's will are made
upon grand plan. Naturally, Mr.. Shoen-
berger has remembered to some purpose the
church, to which he was always loyal. But
his grandest dover is designed for an insti-
tuition in which every Pittsburger can feel
an interest, hospital. Seldom has hospital
started into existence with 81 ,OOO, 900 for
backing. There is great need for new haven
for the victims of disease and ac-
cident in Pittsburg. The existing
hospitals are doing splendid work, but all
of them are oYertaxed. Crowded wards,
overworked doctors and nurses are features
that have called the public's attention to
the insuffciency of Pittsburg's hospitals.
To supply this need, and more than supply
it, comes Mr.. Shoenberger's gift.
The frequent recurrence of benevolent
acts, such as Mr.. Shoenberger's-witness
Mrs. Schenley's gift of park, the late Mr..
Thaw's largesses and Mr.. Carnegie's con-
tinual philanthrophy-makes Pittsburg
proud of her wealthiest citizens and CRATE
full to them.

OLD FASHIONED MUSIC.
The Second Entertainment of the Y. NJ. G. A.
Course a Success.

The Second Entertainment of the Y. M. G. A.
Course a Success.
Rather refreshing was the concert given by
the Mundell Sisters at Old City Hall, last
evening. Those who enjoy old-fashioned,
familiar melodies were in the majority in the
audience, and the programme and rendition of
the various features were so pleasing that
encores on every number were responded to
not only once, but sometimes twice or thrice.
The admirable good nature with which the
ladies responded to encores made them great
favorites, and their singing was extremely
pleasing. Their voices were sweet and clear
and they sang naturally and apparently with
out effort.
They divided the honors about equally. Mrs.
Lavinia Mundell-Sutcliffe as first soprano, Mrs.
Ogden Mundel-Crane as second soprano, Miss
Isabella +. Munden as first alto, and Miss NJ.
Mundell as second alto.
The toilets were party length and in harmo-
nizing colors, cream, lavender. pink and butter
cup yellow. Dark-haired and dark-eyed, with
intelligent, interesting faces they made very
charming combination and succeeded in giving
pleasure 60 a well-flled house.
New York is the home Of these ladies, where
they are all engaged in musical work except
when taking their annual concert tour. This
year the Southern States are going to be Wis
tied. Their accompanies was Miss Carrie L.
Whitney, Of this city.
The Y. M. G. A are to be congratulated on
the happy selection of talent that made their
second entertainment of the season such q
success.

fully shown as the examination of its ac-
counts proceeds The evidences up to the
present do not point to anything worse than
fatal errors of judgment, which are frankly
enough avowed. If the assurances of the
President and of counsel for the bank-in
short, of those who ought to know its condi-
tion-are correct, the assets should go good
way toward making the depositors whole.
Meanwhile, even while allowing for this
optimistic view, the collapse contains fresh
warning against loose methods in banking.
1t emphasizes very particularly the position
that bank should know when to stand
loss rather than to incur the risk Of greater
losses by endeavoring to secure doubtful
loans by additional advances.
However the accounts of the suspended
concern may adjust themselves, there is not
the slightest reason to look npon it as pro-
ducing any effect outside of the list of its
own stockholders, depositors and debtors.

oHIo,s LATEST FURRY.

Ohio is managing to monopolize all the
political sensations going. She began by
surprising everybody-except those dread
fully sly fellows whose hindsight masquer-
ades as foresight fulflled-by electing a
Democratic Governor. Since then Allen o.
Myers has been making the millionaire can
dIdates for Mr.. Payne's Senatorial shoes wish
he were provided with Consulate in the
Cannibal Islands, and now new toreador
comes into the ring waving blOOd-red flag
at the anti-CleYeland bull.
This third disturber of ohio's peace is
the usually harmless brother-in-law of ex-
President Cleveland, Mr.. W. R. Bacon.
Exactly what Mr.. Bacon meant by spend
ing several hours yesterday with Governor
elect Campbell does not seem to be known
beyond peradventure. But they are good
at guessing out in Ohio, and it is surmised
that Mr.. Bacon's mission ranged from the
selection of Senatorial candidate whose
record should be an Endorsement of Mr..
Cleveland's tariff reform ideas, to the nego-
tiation of deal by which Mr.. Cleveland's
friends in the New York delegation might
be turned over to Mr.. Campbell in the
Presidential convention of 1892.
We are hardly concerned enough in Mr..
Bacon's movements to speculate about what
he said or did not say to GOvernor-elect
Campbell. But we do feel at liberty to say
that if Mr.. Cleveland sent Mr.. Bacon to
Governor Campbell with a view to infu-
encing him in favor of Frank Hurd, the
free-trader, for the Senate, our estimate of
Mr.. Cleveland's political sagacity will be
lowered by several degrees.

EXCEPTIONS PROVING A Rn1.R

Nobody needed to be assured that the
suspension Of the Lawrence Bank did not
result from, or indicate, the general condi-
tion of the banking business in this COM
munity. Nor, with the Thousand evidences
on all sides of one of the briskest and most
profitable business periods this part of the
country has ever known, does it require an
argument to demonstrate that the difficulties
Of single iron firm proceed from special
circumstances, not from the general state of
trade.
While greatly to be regretted upon every
account, the Lawrence Bank affair after all
but illustrates by contrast the sOlvency and
prosperity which is the common condition
OF our banks and industries. What the par
ticular causes we're which led the Lawrence
Bank into its complications will be more
