FLouRIsHING LIKE A RAY TREE.

We are glad to see merchants and manu-
facturers taking such lively interest in the
coming Exposition, that some of those who
at first were dilatory in applying for space
now complain that they cannot get enough.
That shows waking up of the slow ones.
By and by it will dawn upon the dullest
that Pittsburg's industrial and mercantile
procession and progression, which this E1-
position will at once inaugurate and Illus
trate, is big affair and that it will pay
everyone to show up in 1t.
Pittsburg is already an Exposition in it
self 1t is becoming every day more nota-
BILE for its amazing strides. Old time visitors
persons who have not been here for four,
five or ten years-are simply astounded at
the growth.
Chicago and Kansas City, and later st.
Paul and Minneapolis, were thought mar
vels OF progress. and without a peer in that
particular, but the old-time smoky, and now
smokeless, city is not whit to the rear in
its recent expansion. Nowhere is more en-
ergy shown in seizing opportunities for de-
velopment Pittsburg is the coming great
city of the interior in population and bust
ness. 1t is well to know it.

A VIOLATION OF PRINCIPLE

Beyond the points of the coke strike
which were referred to in yesterdays DIS
"ATcH, the fact that an agreement is al
eady in force between the coke workers
and the firm to whose works the strike is 50
far confined, cannot be ignored as a vital
factor in the dispute. The very basis for
the vitality of all labor organization is
involved in the maintenance of the wages
agreements which the representatives of the
workmen make with their employers. If
employers cannot rely upon the observance
of such contracts, every inducement to the
latter interest for treating with the labor Or
CARNATIONS is destroyed.
The fact is practically undisputed that
such an agreement was made with the
Frick Coke Company, by the authorized
representatives of the coke-workers, to run
until the end of the year. We understand
that the employees at the Standard Works
refused to join the strike because they con-
sidered it their duty to themselves to re-
spect their contract. That is the only view
to take, consistent with the responsibility
and good faith of labor organizations. If
the last agreement is not binding upon the
men, of what avail or value will a new
agreement be? Every interest of organized
labor is involved in carrying out in good faith

THE IMPORTED LABOR CASE.

The announcement that the investigation
of the United States officials into the i'm
portation of glass workers at Jeannette,
indicates the conclusion that the foreign
workers must go back, is a new.test of the
law against, imported contract labor. The
view, probably, has much better foundation
in reason than some of the grotesque decis-
ions, such as have put clergymen and
musicians in the category of imported labor.
Nevertheless the result in this case is
not likely to produce a favorable impres-
sion OF the law. Whatever disputed points
there may be, it is clear that the labor was
needed in this country, and that the author
lied organization ior that class of labor
being otherwise unable to furnish it, brought
it from abroad, where members of the
affiliated organization were out of employ
ment. So far from being a case where for
eign labor is brought in to take the places
of domestic workingmen, it is one where in
ternational labor organization has performed
the beneficial work of transferring labor to
the place where it is wanted. When the
law interferes with that work, it destroys
the utility of international labor organiza-
tion and puts the acts of organized labor un-
der its condemnation.
Set side by side with this the fact that
the infuz of cheap Italian, Polish and Hun
garian labor is practically unchecked, and
the inquiry becomes cogent whether the
law is much more than a snare and nui-
sance

ONLY ONE SURE WAY.

The statement that the counsel of young
Flann has returned from New Orleans,
where he made an unsuccessful attempt to
have the Louisiana lottery return the funds
which the young man took from the Marine
Bank, announces a foregone conclusion.
The object in life of the Louisiana lottery
being to get the money of the public with
out giving consideration for it, it seems
necessary to remark that this end is not to
be obtained by giving back the funds which
the lottery speculators put in. In addition,
there is little speculative precedent for such
a course. We never heard that the New
York Stock Exchange returned the money
of the New York Marine Bank which
Ward and Fish played away; that the CHI
cago board made good the losses of Harper's
bank in Cincinnati, or that the Petroleum
Exchange thought oc reimbursing the Penn
Banks departed assets. The only sure way
to get money back from lottery, as well as
other speculations, is to take it back before
you put it in.

A DISPUTED LINE.

The strained relations between the Ma
tional Campmeeting Association and the
Ridgeview Park Association, offers an exam
pie of the divergence of opinion as to what
constitutes a violation of the Sabbath,
which exists even among those who would
all class themselves on the side of strict
Sabbath observance. If one organization
thinks it wrong to receive any money
in connection with the campmeet-
ings on the Sabbath they are
right in refusing to have any connection
with such violations. On the other hand,
those who think it right can, as they pro-
pose to do, exercise their liberty of con-
science and hold the campmeeting on an
independent basis. One view carried to its
logical conclusion ought to supply the re-
lgious instructors for Sunday services free
of charge; and the others may find some
difficulty in explaining why if Sunday
trains are to be run, Sunday restaurants,
Sunday drinking fountains and Sunday
bootblacks may not be tolerated. The great
difficulty is in telling where the line shall
be drawn, and these religious organizations
have only conquered that difficulty by
agreeing to disagree.

THE PRESIDENTS VACATION.

If there was any one man in the land to
whom circumstances should have made
vacation particularly enjoyable this year it
since March thousands of eager applicants
for office; to be sensible OF the fact that
nearly all of them honestly and intensely
believed they had strong claims upon his
administration. and to be obliged to disap-
point nine out of every ten, was state of
things which might we'll make the Presi-
dent sigh for lodge at Deer Park, or any
inaccessible wilderness.
So oagain, if there is any happening, short of
actual illness, which is.calculated to destroy
the beneficial effects of a vacation, it is that
of the renewed solicitation of the ofice-hunt-
ers which has set in since the Presidents re-
turn to Washington. The President will
have the sympathy of all honest folk in the
pressure which besets him, and which SINH
larly troubled his predecessors during the
first year of each term. There is no help for
the worry, if the idea is to be religiously
kept up that each change of President is an
invitation to all who would like Office. to file
their petitions. Nothing short of a new
miracle of loaves and fishes would meet the
case.
Meanwhile it is manifest that the Presi-
dents OF the United States earn well their
salary, if only in respect alone to the labor
of trying to make a satisfactory distribution
of the patronage. As the country grows
and as the complications of party politics
become more numerous and pressing, so
grow the irksomeness and the WEAKNESS of
this task, which has to be discharged quad
rennially, before the legislative business of
the country comes on.

NOT THE FIRST NEED.

1t is not calculated to stimulate respect
for the originality and inventiveness of the
people who were steering New York toward
the desired port of the international exhibi-
tion of 1892, to find that the leading, if not
the sole, idea OF the way to insure success
for that exposition is to build tower which
shall surpass In height the Eifel tower at
the Paris Exposition. In other words, the
New York idea, SO far, is merely to copy
and enlarge upon the Partisan achievement.
But the fact is that even the Partisan idea
is not an original one. Visitors to our Gen.
tennial Exposition of 1876 will remember
ST. Georges tower, as the probable start of
the idea of a lofty structure to afford visi-
tors to the Exposition the amusement of
getting up at high elevation and looking
Off The Parisians have simply taken that
idea, and enlarged and amplifed it to its
utmost degree. Even in the exaggerated
form it tcontains nothing of the real instruc-
tion and information which we take to be
the legitimate purpose of an international
industrial exposition. It is simply one of
the show novelties of the affair. For fea-
lures of that kind in our exposition of 1892
American inventiveness should provide
something original.
Beyond that, even if new Eiffel tower
were necessarily the main feature of the
New York show, it would not be the first
thing for the New Workers to look after. If
they can pile up subscription fund for the
expenses of the exposition to something
approximating the height of the Eiffel
tower, it will have q much more vital rela-
tion to the success of the affair than the
drawing of plans for towering material
structures.

THRUSTS AT TRUSTS.

MINNEAPOLIS Journal: An orange trust is
among the recently organized monopolies Of
course it will squeeze the market and absorb
all the juice.
CHICAGO Herald: A trust on sweet pota-
toes has been organized, and pretty soon the
students of markets" will get up q trust in
the food for thought.
ALTA California: "A patent-leather trust Is
organized. If this thing keep on there will
be sole-leather trust to kick all the rest of the
trusts out of the country.
PHILADELPHIA Telegraph: There seems to
be turn in the tide in the trust business. The
big salt syndicate had to throw up the sponge,
and now pretentious German sugar scheme
this great combination business has been con-
silerably overdone.
PHILADELPHIA Ledger: Salt won't save
either the salt trust itself the sugar trust,
or any other OF the tribe, unless such, and such
only, as are founded on fair, honorable equita-
BILE principles of trade. No trust founded on
the "crushing-out'' policy or 'freezing-out"
policy can live In this country.
ST LOUIS Globe Democrat: With the COL
lapse in the salt combine there will be a
'sIet up'' in the industry of forming trusts in
this country for the time being. If this busi-
ness were kept up for year or two longer the
United States would be "pastered over" as
badly with trusts as England is.
AMERICAN Economist: The fact that trusts
exist and flourish under free trade even more
than under protection, and the further fact
that they have been organized in this country
more largely for the manufacture and sale of
products not affected by the tariff than for
those which are affected by it, compel the con-
clusion that trusts are Independent of tariff
legislation. 1t follows that the abolition of
protective duties to hinder them would only
inffct irreparable disaster upon our labor and
industries without accomplishing the end

DEATHS OF A DAY.
Commodore FitzhuRh.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TIE prspAr,

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPArCHi
PHILADELPHIA, August 3.-Commodore Fitz-
hugh, seventh ranking Commodore of the United
States Navy, died soon after midnight last nirht
at the Naval Hospital. Commodore Fftzbugh
came to the hospital as patient from the New
London station about two months ago. and under
went an operation for removing cancer. Al
though he improved at first and was able TO 20
about his room, he gradually grew weak again
and all hope Of bis recovery was abandoned.
Commodore Fitzhugh has been q familiar feure
in naval circles OF Philadelphia for many years
He was at one time commandant of League island
navy yard and also at one time was in charge Of
the receiving ship St Louis stationed at League
Island. The most prominent public duty that
brought him to the attention Of Philadeifhians
was his work President Of the two
trial boards Of the gunboat Yorktown when that
vessel was tested at sea last February, 1t was
probably his last trip at sea and although ii was
only trip Of few hours, the bitter cold storm
probably had bad effect on his ailment. he WAS
sent to New London after he made his fnal report
to Secretary Tracy.
Commodore fitzhugh was about 90 years Of age
and had always been bachelor. He was a Quiet
when at ease. He had seen considerable service
in China and was well read, always courtl, and as
modestas any schoolboy. He was one Of the most
popular ofhcers Of the navy. He always felt that
ne had reached the highest naval hon or that could
come to him, and during the trial ofthe Yorktown
said that lie had probably reached the limit Of his
advancement. His greatest desire, however was
70 have some share IN making the new navy Of the
United States.

A HYPNOTIZED PUBLIC.

A Chicago cotemporary produces an
ingenious theory to account for the success
practiced in the Plunkett- Worthington
case, ofinducing large number of confd-
ing women to marry that clever and un-
scrupulous scoundrel. The explanation is
hypnotism. 1t is impossible for our CO.
temporary to believe that such bald and
arrant humbug could have been successfully
practiced unless the victims had been
placed under the hypnotic influences which
compel the subject to do and believe what
ever the operator prescribes for them.
The theory is valuable not only as ex-
planning this case, but as throwing light on
the success of large number of far greater
and more wholesale swindles. 1t is not
more singular that scoundrel whose ras-
cality takes the supererogatory form of
marrying a large number of apparently
superfuous wives, should carry on his
deceptions successfully, than that those
who systematically and notoriously pursue
the business of passing off upon investor
merely fiat values, in the form of railway
and trust stocks should meet with more
gigantic and wholesale success. The ex-
PLANTATION of the readiness of people to be
deceived applies in one case as well as
another The old proverb populus vult
decipi only states the fact; but the reason
behind the fact why people are so willing to
be deceived has never been explained until
now. 1t is hypnotism. The successful
humbuggers nave devised some wholesale
method of hypnotizing some hundreds of
thousands of people at once. So they are
able to put victims by wholesale under the
hypnotic influences and make them believe
whatever they choose.
Either we will have to take this novel if
not comforting theory, or else we will have
to fall back upon the old and rather pessi-
mistIc idea concerning the overproduction
of fools.
