THE WORLDS FAIR,

Our esteemed cotemporary lie Temps, Of
Paris, France, makes some very sensible re-
marks about the comparative availability
of New York and Chicago as sites for the
proposed Worlds Fair in 1892, remarks
that are as much in Washington's favor as
New York's, by the way.
lie Temps does rot seem to be aware that
st. Louis and Washington are also earnest
aspirants for the honor, but 1t says it is by
no means as certain as it seemed a month
ago that the Americans will select New
York for the location of their Exposition, as
Chicago is making strenuous efforts to Sc
cure it Commenting on the availability of
Chicago, as compared with New York, lie
Temps says: "We wonder how many of
the Chicagoans who crossed the ocean to
visit the Exposition in the first city of
France would have taken the same trouble
if the show had been held in Lyons, our
second city of Importance.
The state of the competition between New
York, Chicago, St. Louis and Washington
for the privilege of holding the Worlds
Fair has undergone no change to speak of.
Chicago remains easily in front, if subscrip-
tions on paper and general enthusiasm of
the citizens be held as a criterion, with st.
Louis second, in a rather hopeless way,
Washington calmly third, waiting game
is hers, and New York mournfully last. The
Empire City may be first any day if her rich
men will awake from their stingy and sell
fish stupor. At present the prospect in New
York is gloomy.

PITTsBURG, FRIDAY, OCT. Is, 1889.
GENERAL HARTRANFT.

Pennsylvania lost one of her most noted
and beloved sons yesterday. A braver
soldier never fought for the union than John
Frederick Hartranft, and the honors he won
in the long line of battles from Bulls Run
to Vlcksburg were all well deserved. From
its dawn till its close the life of General
Hartranft abounds in action. He was no
Blumberer or stay-at-home. The nation
recognized the sterling abilities of the
soldier, and the State of Pennsylvania could
find none better to call to the Gubernatorial
chair twice in succession, as well as to other
terms as Governor General Hartranft
supported with much zeal a great many
reforms, and to him is due the
very beneficial reorganization of the militia
upon a sound military basis. In many ways
the militia has always been the object of
his most afectionate attention. His popu-
larity with the States National Guard has
therefore been always very great, and in a
large measure the Guards efficiency is due
to his untiring efforts.
Olu uOL dt-
tain great old age, for he was but SO, his life
has been so crowded with events and SO i'm
portant to his fellow men that it appears to
have been longer than the average. Per-
haps greater honors were in store for him.
Recently the Commissionership of Pensions
was undoubtedly placed at his disposal, but
his failing health prevented him from ac-
cepting it. Now he has certainly peace,
and fullness of honor with it.

SOLD BEST BY AUCTION.
An Experiment in Disposins of Fruit Works
Well In Gotham.

0Eko
Well in Gotham.
NEW YORK, October I7.-Commission men in
the domestic fruit business are panic-stricken,
according to a story told by E. L. Goodsell, a
wholesaler. He says that in a very short time
the entire receipt of fruit in this
city will be sold at auction. 'The
plan took place at Park place house last
Tuesday," said he, land it was great success
The sale consisted of one carload of Concord
grapes shipped by grape growers association.
and within twenty-four hours the check for
settlement was on It's way to the shipper.
"At the time of this sale" continued Mr..
Goodsell, commission merchants we're selling
the same grade of fruit for Is cents per basket
in lots to suit the purchaser, and many were
carrying stocks that could not all be sold, and
would be thrown on the market next day at, in
many cases, greatly reduced prices,
This new plan of disposing of fruit in New
York will revolutionize the business Twenty
years ago the auction system of disposing of
perishable fruits was adopted by several firms
in London and Liverpool, In Difference to the
of selling and the returns they were receiving.
Three years ago the California fruit growers
did not believe in this system. To-day the by
laws of two large unions of growers say that
the fruit must be sold at auction.
1.-THE principal advantages of this system over
the old method of consignment to commission
merchants are many. One OF the most impor-
tant is the immediate and total sale of the fruit
on its arrival in the city before it has had a
chance to deteriorate, losses of this kind of
course, being borne by the grower. In selling
through the commission merchants so growers
may ship to as many different agents or
commission men. The jobbers in search of
fruit go from one commission man to another
beating down the price, and these 80 commits
sion men are virtually competing with one an
other to make sales. This cannot fail to de-
preciate prices. Under the auction system the
50 growers will combine and ship their fruit to-
gether to one house in this city. The time of
arrival is definitely known and the sale can be
advertised. The jobbers meet and are forced
to become competitors and the highest bidder
takes the fruit"

infinitely greater importance than that of q
common jury.
As to the ofense against law aud justice,
which Mr.. Moore, in his capacity of attor-
ney for Hannah Clark, charges ex-Mayor
Liddell with committing, it is hardly the
time to speak. As yet we have only an eg
pGrte statement before us, which only shows
one thing clearly and beyond all
doubt, and that is that the grand
jury, who had the case Of Clark versus Lid
dell under consideration were no. properly
kept beyond the reach of illegal influences
There is also evidence of general irregularity
in the management of cases before the grand
jury. Hence their exists good reason for a
thorough inquiry into this case and Judge
White did perfectly right in ordering it up
for reconsideration by another grand jury.
Such occurrences must hasten the removal
of an institution that many of the most en-
lightened and learned lawyers and iaymen
deem out of tune with the times and the
spirit of the Constitution.

WATER IN POLITICS.

The letter in which Mr.. J. R. Johnston
has accepted the nomination of the Pro-
hibition party for State Treasurer, and
which will be found in full in another
column of this issue, is not calculated to
arouse new animosities or allay old ones. 1t
Is a careful and conservative definition of
the Prohibition party's attitude in the
coming campaign. Mr.. Johnston reveals
also the fact that the Prohibition party ex-
poets absolutely nothing from either the
Democratic or the Republican party. Says
lie:
The Democratic party defends the liquor
traffic by its opposition to prohibitory, which it
calls sumptuary, laws, and faFors its pepetua-
tion by license laws The Republican party in
the past had ne policy for or against the liquor
traffic until by official declaration at its recent
State convention it declared that it heartily
indorsed the Brooks high license law" thereby
adopting as its method for the suppression of
the liquor traffic restricted legalization by high
license laws, thus repudiating prohibition as
means for the correction of the evils arising
uherefrom.
1t is always just as we'll for political par
ties as for individuals to look the situation
full in the face, to harbor no false fears, no
IDLE hopes. If Mr.. Johnston represents his
party, as We suppose he does, the Prohibi-
tionists are not deceiving themselves on any
point in practical politics. They are going
10 Try to prove, and Mr.. Johnston has made
grand start with dictionary definition,
that the suppression of the liquor traffic is a
proper one for political agitation and politi-
cal action, and, therefore, most certainly
proper as basis of principles on which to
establish political parties. How they will
succeed, last June's election would seem to
have indicated.

GRAND JURY TROUBLES.

The grand jury as an institution is getting
into worse odor every day in this county.
Several times of late the uprlghtness of
grand jurors has been seriously questioned,
and well-founded suspicious that the jury
has misused its judicial powers have been
generally entertained. To make matters
worse the case which W. d. Moore, ESQ.,,
brought to the attention of Judge White
Yesterday reflects unpleasautly upon the
county official or officials who have been
pOpularly supposed to preserve the seclu-
sion and prOpriety of the grand jury's de-
liberations- 1t is very easy to understand
the peculiar actions of former grand juries
if it be true that the doors have been open
to the improper influence of interested par
ties. And as we have more than once OBJ
served the misbehaEiOr of grand jury is of
