reoRMArs STRONG QUALIFICATION,

The proposition that Senator German
shall take ex-senator Barnum's place on
the Democratic National Committee, causes
the St. Louis Republic to cry out: "Gormanl
Never r. The Republic is apparently of
the opinion that free trade party wants
free trade campaign manager. That quail
fication would be essential if ideas ruled in
practical politics. But in the Democratic
party, as much as in the Republican, the
campaign manager desired is not one who is
faithful to the party ideas, but the one who
can bring in the contributions from the
millionaires and pull the wires that will
work the practical politicians. As German
can do this rather better than Barnum did,
he is the evident successor to the Connecti--
cut manager. whose purchases of mules
made his most successful record. No better
evidence of the justice of the outcry against
the money power as ruling parties is needed
than the fact that the election of Barnum
shows that the money power is supreme in
the Democratic as in the Republican organ
ization.

The report that Mr.. Gowen is interested
in the Starr case for the purpose of crippling
the Pennsylvania Railroad by forcing the
Pennsylvania Company to erect elevated
tracks in Allegheny, is rather fagrant
case of the cock-and-bull order. In the first
place the Pennsylvania Company wishes to
build elevated tracks, but an intelligent
view of the public interests makes sunken
tracks preferable. Next, both Mr.. Gowen
and every one else who knows anything on
the subject, knows that the Pennsylvania
Railroad is not to be crippled in that way.
Finally, Mr.. Gowen is very good attorney,
and the people who think that there should
be punishment for criminal negligence
concluded that he would make good adyo-
cate of their views.

BISHOP porrER,s BuGLE CALL.

A very healthy symptom is found in
the interest which the nation at large
has taken in the remarkable speech
made by Bishop Potter at the Cen
tennial celebration in New York City.
The echoes of that great festival are dying
away, the speeches of most of the orators
are already forgotten, but the solemn warn
ing of Bishop Potter that the people and the
Government, which is the people again. of
these United States have not remained true
to the high ideals and standards of the
founders of the Republic is being still dis
cussed everywhere. Immense editions Of
the speech in pamphlet form have already
been sold, and the demand is rather increas-
ing than decreasing.
So long as the weighty words from such an
eminent and impartial counselor as Bishop
Potter are accorded this sort Of considera-
ton it cannot be said that the American
people are needless of their condition or
averse to hearing cogent but unpalatable
words of warning. Even the condemnation
of Bishop Potter's utterances to be found in
certain quarters serves good purpose. It
locates with sufficient exactness the forces
which are operating to the injury of the re-
public. There are many who do not like
Bishop Potter's views on the same ground as
that which makes saloon keeper without
license dislike the Brooks law. It is well
the people should be alive to the necessity of
guarding their liberties. They can guard
them all the better when they know who are
the friends and who are the foes Of the re-
public,

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PlTTsBURG, SATURDAY, MAY IL, 1889.
THE BEST POLICY.

In the interesting interview with Mr..
Carnegie, which is given elsewhere, he
expresses his confidence that the most
important determinations against the
interests of Pittsburg will shortly be
reetifed. We cannot agree fully with
Mr.. Carnegie's opinion that compet-
ing lines are unnecessary. We believe
every competing line that is added to Pitts
burg's interests to be worth indefinite sums
in permanently regulating rates. If Mr..
Carnegie's expectations of improved rates
are fulfilled, we think it will be found that
the influence of competing lines will have
much to do with that satisfactory result.
But laying aside what, in the present
state of affairs is largely an abstract ques-
ton, if would be most satisfactory out
come of the recent agitation to have the
freight rates reduced on the points which
Mr. Carnegie mentions in his interview.
To place Pittsburg on parity with other
points in ore and coke rates is especially
desirable as furnishing the very basis of
Pittsburg's industrial prosperity. The ore
question especially is one to which reference
has often been made In these columns. We
believe that to place that fundamental and
at the same time low-cost freight on aproper
basis would cheaper the cost of pig iron
here fully 60 cents per ton. No Pittsburger
needs to be told that such an economy would
place our city's supremacy in the iron and
steel trade beyond all question.
Certainly, whether Mr.. Carnegie's hopes
are sanguine or not, the railroad officials
should perceive that they can do no better
than to give these points a careful and pa
tient investigation, and to take such action
as shall give our industries the best possible
chance. Right in this city is the source of
their prosperity. In the present era of mar
row margins to dry up that fountain of
their own net earnings would be the worst
possible policy for the railroads. Beyond
this the step that will leave all parties in
the most creditsble position, and renew the
ties of good feeling, will be the voluntary
concessions in rates that will give our city
the full benefit of her natural advantages,
