pA- We politely ask the lamp lighter,
through tho town Council, what is the use
of having lamps on the streets, if they are
not lighted on dark nights. Saturday, Sun
day, Monday and Tuesday nights, were the
darkest we have ever experienced, but not
a street lamp below the Baptist Church was
lighted on either Of those nights.
Sunday night many very unpleasant no.
cidents and narrow escapes occurred to por-
sons going to and from church. If the
Council pays lamp lighter for his services,
out Of the public funds, the public have
right to demand that he be made to do his
duty or step down FROM his ladder instantcr

NOT THE RIGHT SHOES,

The infiction to which greatness is con-
stantly subject received an apt illustration,
from the account recently given, Of a visit
which President Cleveland made to one of
the great shoe factories of Marlborough,
Mass. 1t is stated that when be left the fac
tory he was presented with a pair of shoes
entirely made since he had entered the
building. Of course, the report says, that
the heex-PIesidentwas very much gratited with
the present; but it is worth while to remem-
Der that when that qualification was ex-
pressed, as the occasion seemed to require,
the President had not yet tried the expert
ment Of wearing the shoes. Shoes manu-
factured in the course of an hour, without ref
erence to the idiosyncracies of the foot of the
wearer, are more likely to prove instruments
of torture rather than comfortable protec-
tion for the human foot. The large supply
of shoes of that sort in the shoe stores furn-
ish an adequate explanation for the SUPER
fuous development of corns and profanity.
In addition to these drawbacks the present
to ex-President Cleveland has an especial
appropriateness The shoes which would
really satisfy the ex-President are those
which he was required by the Constitution
of the United States to turn over to Presi-
dent Harrison.

The only person who knew and could prove
his guilt was an elderly spinster. She
offered him her hantl or Jail. He took the
hand. 1t was too heavy for him. He tried
to kill himself but failed. Now he has
confessed his crime in order to get away
from his wife. He doesn't deserve a scrap
of pity; neither does the elderly spinster of
great respectability who INDUCED in q bur
glarious bridegroom.
1t is really unwise for even an elderly
spinster to marry q burglar. Burglars are
not at all likely to turn out well. The
burglar acquires in the pursuit of his pro-
fession a taste for late hours and nocturnal
excursions that units him for domestic life
1t is mere child's play to him to pick the
lock of his wife's secretary. He can get at
all her letters and purloin her petty
cash, and who will not say that his
appearance in full regalia of mask,
lantern and revolver beside his
spouse's bedside. whilesbut a professional
pleasantly perhaps, on his part, would be
calculated to agitate the nerves of the most
stouthearted woman Under no circum-
stances, not if he be the only man on the
horizon, is burglar desirable life COM
panion. The bonds he is fitted for are
forged of steel. and detectives Familiarity
term them bracelets.

PITTsBURG. WEDNESDAY. AUG. q, 1883
THE LAST RAILROAD SCHEME.

The report of another Eastern connection
for Pittsburg, to grow out Of a reported
acquisition of a controlling interest in the
Pittsburg and Western road by Mr.. Andrew
Carnegie, and its extension eastward to q
connection with the Reading, is one of the
items of current gossip which Pittsburg
would be glad to find true.
There is this material for credit in this re-
port, that the Pittsburg and Western has
been shown by its recent course to be man.
aged in the interest of Pittsburg. An ex-
tension of this sort would give an important
system OF Western roads an outlet to New
York, and would practically call into ex-
istence new trunk line from the seaboard
to the Mississippi river. These possibilities
are given some significance by the intima-
tions that Mr.. Carnegie, in connection with
other Pittsburgers, has Of late acquired con-
siderable interest in the Pittsburg and
Western. -
But all these reasons for favorably con-
sidering the report are a long way off from
actual construction. After Pittsburg's ex-
perience in the South Penn affair it will
be rather chary of pinning its faith on
any new Eastern line until the contracts are
let. When that comes to pass all Pittsburg
will join in applauding the new project.

THE STATE WORK AT JoHNsTowN.

When 1t was announced that the Cover
nor had secured a losn of million dollars
to be used in cleaning up the wreck at
Johnstown it was conceded that the posi-
tion Of that official in opposing an extra
session of the Legislature was in great
measure justified. When further reports
made it appear that the work w.s nearly
done with an expenditure of about $500, 900,
the correctness of the Governors views
seemed to receive a further demonstration.
Had the facts continued to support the
Executives position his triumph in that re-
spect would, in great measure, have offset
his dilatoriness at the height of the crisis.
But a very different state of facts is ap-
pearing now. 1t comes to the public knowl-
edge that $500, 900 was the limit of the loan.
1t is stated that this sum is exhausted and
the people of Johnstown very pertinently
point out that the work is not done. If the
work was worth comm encing it was worth
finishing To have it half or three-quarters
done will be neither creditable to the State
administration nor satisfactory to the public.
With the task properly completed there will
be an equitable claim upon the Legislature
to discharge the debt incurred in doing it.
If it is left undone it can hardly be regarded
as anything more valid than an illustration
of Incompetence.
Yet there is no way apparent by which
the work can be done except to revert to the
plan which the Governor rejected nearly
three months ago, and call together the body
authorized to make appropriations Failing
that, the State can leave the ruined town to
struggle with the question of removing the
debris for itself.

GOOD TRUSTS AND BAD ONES.

The subject of trusts has recently occu-
pied a large share of the editorial attention
of our esteemed and conservative cotem-
porary, the Philadelphia Ledger. The bur-
den of the Ledger's contention is that there
are good trusts and bad trusts. Those which
serve legitimate purpose. in the opinion
of the Ledger, are entitled to encouragement
and support, while those which are only
organized to oppress the consumers and pro-
ducers should be sternly suppressed.
This position is all right, in its funda-
mental points, although the line of division
which it draws between the legitimate trust
and the illegitimate one is rather indefinite.
The legal device of creating trust for GER
tain purposes was, in its original form, q
decidedly beneficial one. A trust created
for charitable purposes, or for the manage
ment of an estate for the benefit of minors
or people incompetent to manage their own
affairs, is undoubtedly legitimate, and
serves a good purpose. No such trusts as
these have occupied any share of the public
attention. 1t is only the perversion of the
legitimate method to purposes of illegiti-
mate gain that arouses the public protest.
But it should be made clear that every
trust which is created for the purpose of
suppressing competition in the production
of commodities or the performance of COM
mercial services has an illegitlmate purpose,
and is injurious in its tendency. This is
inevitable from the fact that, if it is per-
mitted to gain its object, it creates favored
class in commerce. The great majority of
the producers and of the commercial inter-
ests must submit to the force of competition
in fixing profits and distributing the re-
wards Of enterprise. The attempt to secure
a special exemption from this regulating
force is, therefore, an attempt to secure an
especial advantage over the rest of the COM
munity. To the exact degree in which that
attempt is successful is an injustice estab-
lished, and a privileged class in commerce
given its existence.
The Ledger's position is undoubtedly cor
rect; but it should be understood that all
the trusts which seek to abolish competition
for their own benefit belong to the class of
bad trusts.

OLD LANDS FOR SETTLERS.

A unique feature of our national develop
ment is illustrated by the fact that; while
Westerners are hungrily grabbing the lands
that are obtained from Indian reservations
in Oklahoma and Dakota, the State of Yer
mont has established a regular Office
whose function it is to secure settlement of
lands that have been abandoned by former
cultivators. A circular from the commits
sioner of this Office states that there are
200, 900 acres in that State formerly cult
waited, and which are as rule as capable of
cultivation as the prosperous surrounding
farms.
Land of this sort is offered to any one who
wants it as low as So per acre. While it is
probably not as fertile as the lands of
the West, it would seem that its prox-
unity to the Eastern cities ought to
make its cultivation at that price
more profitable. The anomaly is
no doubt largely due to the railway policy
which refuses the Eastern farming interests
anything like proportionate rates OF trans
portation to those given Western products
The consequences is that an immense amount
Va plO0uCC De IdlseQ
in the East is transported from the West
That waste of energy may be credited with
a great share Of the poverty and social
trouble of the present day.
The Vermont effort is directed toward
settling the abandoned lands with colonies
of Swedes; and another unique feature of
our social system is presented by the ques-
ton that has been raised whether the law
against the importation of contract labor
will not shut out the Swedes who are needed
to till the vacant farms of Vermont.
Nevertheless, the effort of Vermont is in
the direction of improvement. 1t might be
we'll for Pennsylvania to see whether the
example would not be worth following for
the purpose of getting some of her untitled
lands occupied.

THE FATAL BOILER

The cycle of fatal casualties has got
around to the boiler explosion once more.
The explosion of yesterday which wrecked
brewery, and will probably cost total of
three lives, seems rather commonplace after
the wholesale calamities already recorded
this year; but it is one of class that in this
stage of modern science ought not to happen.
The exact deficiency in the exploding boiler
does not appear in the reports so far.
Nevertheless, it is safe to conclude, when a
boiler explodes, wrecks building and costs
three lives, that there was something wrong
either in its construction or management.
One of the needs of the time is to enforce a
stricter respect for the safety of human life
in industrial operations.

CURE FOR ALL ILLS.
The Lame. Halt and Blind Made Well by
Brown-sequard's Elixir.

The Lame. Halt and Blind Made Well by
Brown-sequard's Elixir.
CATLErrsBURG, KY, August 20-The re-
suits Of the use Of DR.. Brown-Sequard's elixir
on number Of patients here ha We been all that
could be desired The lame have been made to
walk, rheumatics have been relieved of pain,
and the old and debilitated have been made
stronger. The most notable case is that of SOL
81. Kinner, who, in January, 1885, was
stricken with paralysis in the left
side, rendering him unable to walk
without the use of o crutch and cane
-Four days ago he received the first dose of
the elixir, prepared from the blood of a lamb,
and to-day he was on the streets and able to
walk without the aid Of crutch or cane. His
speech, which was badly affected, is much i'm
proved Mr. Kinner Is quite elated over his
rapid improvement, and Is quite sanguine that
the use OF the elixir will restore him to nerfect
health. Mr.. Kinner is an old lumber merchant
well known TO the sawmill men Of Louisville
and Cincinnati.
Judge John M. Rice, of Louisa, who received
his first dose Of the elixir Friday evening re-
turned here this morning, much improved, and
has dispensed with cane, which he had been
compelled to use for the last six months when
walking. He took another injection of the
elixir to-day. Warfield Lee whose right arm
and side have been partially paralyzed for over
fve years, is greatly improved. He has had
raise his arm above his head, and was
on the streets to-day giving exhibitions of his
great Improvement There are more than a
dozen other patients who have received great
benefits from the use of the elixir, and many
more, seeing the effect 1t has wrought upon
their neighbors have applied for treatment,
The elixir used by the physicians here is pre-
pared from the blood of lambs. Only one male
was quite a wrangle between the doctors as to
who should have 1t.
