to advance the price of the domestic product
and to prevent the free result of open ana fail r
competition, would without moments hesi-
tation reduce the duties on foreign goods COM
peting with them, in order to break down the
combination.
This is not only the ground which intelli-
gent protectionists are beginning to recog-
nize as absolutely necessary, but it is the
position which actually supports the protec-
tion principle. The avowed purpose of pro-
lection is to stimulate and increase the COM
petition of domestic capital in the produc-
tion of Manufactured goods. If the manu-
facturers of any protected industry combine
to prevent competition, they are therefore
combining to defeat the purpose of protec-
tion. So long as they are permitted to do
so, they nullify the public objects for which
protective tariffs are levied; and there is no
truer way OF asserting the real protective
principle than to reduce or repeal the duties
in such cases.
This fact has been recognized by such
leading advocates of the protective principle
as the New York Tribune. Senator Sher-
mans announcement of the same principle
should warn those who are attracted by the
combination craze that the surest method of
getting protection on their industries abol-
ished is to put the trust theories in practice.

CoLoRED COOPERATION.

The organization of the cOlored people of
Pittsburg to establish cooperative store,
shows that whatever may be the condition
OF their race in the South, in this city they
are ready to keep up with the most modern
methods for improving their condition.
There is little room for doubt that CO.
operative mercantile establishment founded
on the basis of cash, low prices and good
business management will do successful
trade and effect an appreciable economy in
the cost Of life to those who are participants
in the project. In organizing this enter
prise, the cOlored people seem to be little
in advance of the white people, most of
whom are content with the old plan of COM
mercial profits. The colored people will do
more to better their condition in this way
than by any number of organizations to
strike for Offices in behalf of some favored
wire-pullers of that race.

NOBODY TO BLAME,

1t is rather surprising to find the papers
OF Philadelphia uniting to assert that the
recent accident on the Philadelphia, Viii.
mington and Baltimore branch of the Penn.
sylvanis Railroad was so unavoidable that
it must be ranked in the class which is
termed by the old law-books, "the act Of
God" Inasmuch as it was caused by the
dropping of car-door on thetrack by pre-
ce6ing train it takes some peculiar logic to
reach that conclusion. This the Philadel-
phia Press supplies as follows:
1t is true that the doors of freight cars If
well secured are not shaken loose by the motion
of the train, and that distractions of this sort
are soon removed from track well patrolled.
But it is inevitable that human vigilance will
fail at some point, and the dropping of freight
car doors in transit is not common occur
renee.
In other words, the argument is that when
a calamity is caused by such gross careless
ness that no one could have foreseen it, the
responsibility is removed from those in
charge and placed upon Providence In this
case a smash-un of serious character might
have been prevented either bv keeping the
door of the car securely fastened, by patrol
ling the track or by moderate watch on the
train from which the car door fell 1t is to
be feared that if this case reaches an unfeel-
ing jury this statement of the reasons why
no one is responsible, will be held to show
decided and inexcusable negligence.

SAFETY ON THE INCLTNEs.

The accident at a Cincinnati inclined
plane yesterday in which the cable hosting
the car gave way. letting the car fall to the
bottom, with fatal injuries to eight out OF
the nine people on the car, is matter of
the utmost Importance to Pittsburg. With
our half-dozen inclined planes carrying
thousands of people daily, the mere posi-
bility Of such an accident is something that
calls for the utmost safeguards 1t is under
stood that all of them have the preeaution
of double cables, which is supposed to guard
against the danger of break. But if any
casualty should occur that would sever
both cables, they are not generally provided
with safety catches such as are used on
vertical elevators which would stop the cars
if all the ropes were cut. This lack should
be supplied. Certainly no precautions can
be too great against such calamity as has
been shown in Cincinnati to be possible on
the inclined planes.

A S25O.000 NECKLACE,
The Costly Ornament to be Worn by an En-.
gIish Brewers Wife.


From the New York world.l
The beer people Of England have mints of
money. They have put twoscore millions into
the brewing business In this country and don't
seem to miss it. The Guinness people have
been very wealthy for two or three generations,
and when they turned their brewery into
stock company they became richer still. The
consequence is that they have secured a knight
hood for the head of the house. and the wife Of
the great brewer is known as Lady Guinness.
She has a passion for diamonds, and though
her title does not take her into the society of
peeresses, she has gems beside which the fam
ily Jewels of most Of them would seem like the
merest trinkets. She has Just given an order
for new necklace that even with unlimited
credit and the greatest industry cannot be fin.
ished for several years. because in the first
place the best old-mine stones are very scarce
and secondly because she has stipulated that
every diamond in the necklace must be a per-
feet match. 1t is TO be a very elaborate pattern
and will cost S250,000.
Just now the fashionable ornaments in Paris
are little gold or silver towres of Eiffel with a
diamond on top to represent the electric light.
A Paris jeweler has one in.his window that at
tracts crowds all day long, and is almost as
much an object of popular curiosity as the IA
nous tower itself. This one is an exact copy of
the iron structure made in silver and covered
with diamonds, with huge diamond at the top
which is set on spring. and, as il quIvers
shoots out long rays of colored light There
are 40 900 small diamonds set into the silver
frame. OF course ir cannot be used for any,
thing, and must eventually be broken up and
the diamonds used in some other way, but it
has netted the ieweler in advertisement far
more than he paid for workmanship upon it

THE UNDERGROUND WIRES,

The ordinance pending in Councils re-
quiring the electric wires to be put under
ground, is objected to on behalf of the cleo
tric railways on account of the additional
expense. We presume that the same OBJ
lection will be offered on behalf of the
other companies, but the electric railway
corporations are the first to offer it, and per-
haps have the most reason to do so in view
of the increase in expenditure which it will
involve.
OF course the reform will entail addi-
tional cost; but the cost will be slight in
comparison to the safety Of our streets and
their relief from the incumbrance of the
poles and wires. Even to the companies
themselves, the assurance against damage
suits and the security against interruption
of business when it becomes necessary to
cut overhead wires in order to get at burn
ing buildings, should well repay the extra
investment involved in the construction Of
adequate and permanent underground con-
duits.
1t must be said, however, that the ordi-
nance now pending hardly seems to meet
all requirements without providing some
regulation for the manner and extent OF
laying the underground conduits. 1t
should not be left to the discretion of every
electric company to tear up the streets
wherever it may choose to lay conduit for
its especial use. The true method of treat
ing the matter is to permit two classes of
conduits to be laid, one for high tension
wires and the other for low tension, and
to give all companies using each class of
wires the right to participate in their use.
This point suggests anew the necessity,
especially in the crowded parts of the city,
of an adequate underground structure be-
meath the pavements. in which sewer, gas,
water and electric conduits can all find
accommodations, and where all can be
reached as they shall require repairs or re-
placement.
