effect which such messages had upon the
pugnacious Ohio Governor was to rouse him
to a speech in which the Payne business
was ventilated in a way calculated to take
the skin of, recounting the facts, showing
that the charges of corruption came from
good Democratic authority, and winding up
with the following telling point:
No innocent man charged in that way by one
half his own party; no innocent and honorable
man charged in that way as he was by the
Legislature of Ohio and by all the officers of
Ohio in the shape of a formal formulation of
these charges. would hesitate to stand up and
ask for and demand and secure an investiga-
ton. Only a man who was conscious of his
guilt and who knew his guilt would be estab-
lished if there was an investigation, would seek
to stifie such proceeding. Mr.. Payne did
stifle it.
But it is a remarkable example of the
hold which the unblushing use of large
sums of money have upon politicians, and
the cowardice and decentralization which
money has wrought In politics, that politi-
cal advisers should try to dissuade can
didate from making use of legitimate
point in his favor by attacking a notorious
example of political bribery for fear that
the powers of corruption may be reused
into activity against him. This is the prac-
teal expression of the belief that there is
nothing real in politics except Doodle and
spoils; that principles, honor and purity
are of no avail against the barrel; and that
if only enough money is put into cam
paign all the other considerations will go
for nothing.
1t is almost as severe on the Republican
party to find that it contains such counsels
as on the Democratic party to be responsible
for such corruption. Cowardice and cor
ruption are mutually responsible for each
other

OUR CITY OF THE DEAD.

Interesting Facts In the History Of Alle-
gheny Cemetery-The Churchyards Of
Long Ago--First Project for Public
Burial PIace-Reminiscence and statis-
tics.
WRITTEN FOR THE DIsPATCH.i
A half century ago the Pittsburg church re-
garded burial place as essential as house of
worship. Through the first two generations
of this city's life, Goods acre" was as much a
consideration with pious folk as Gods house.
Our old churches, when organized, at once
made arrangements for place to lay away
their dead. In the Trinity and First Presby-
terian churchyards many of the rude FORE
fathers of the hamlet Sleep" The old German
Reformed Church, on Smithfield and Sixth
avenue, had its burial place running along
Miltenberger's alley to Strawberry alley, sur
rounded by stone wall. This has given way
to a solid business block. The Second Presby-
terian Church, on Diamond alley, where the
Marshall foundry now stands, was noted
burial place for pioneers.
The Methodists of birthstone Corner" not
being able to find room around their church,
provided burial place where the Union depot
now stands. and the grayestones along the hill
side between the site of the depot and the
High School building will be remembered by
old-timers as one of the features of the old
city. The Oak Alley church, over which DIR.
Black presided as Bishop many long veal, had
and still has its graveyard, where few of the
pioneers are yet sleeping.

a NATIONAL LOSS.

The death of Hon. S. S. Cox, Of New
York, yesterday, terminated a career which,
with few interruptions. extends over period
of public life that is surpassed by few living
public leaders. Mr.. Cox began his Con-
gressional career in 1857, two terms before
Hon. William D. kellogg took his seat,
although the continuous service of the latter
has given him the title of the Oldest member
of the House. Of other public men Senator
Sherman was in Congress two years before
Mr.. Cox, and Mr.. Blaine six years later.
MIR. Cox's prominence in the Democracy
during the fierce conflicts of the civil war
prevented the recognition of his qualities
by the vast majority OF the Northern people.
Nevertheless his public service has so long
survived those contests, that his position in
maintaining the element OF good humor,
courtesy and geniality amid the collisions
of conflicting ideas has been fully appreci-
Rted. 1t has been said that mis- reputation
for wit prevented the recognition of his
qualities for craftsmanship. While it Is by
no means demonstrated that he would have
attained great fame for measures of nation al
value if he had not been handicapped by
his readiness to give way to humor, his
part in modifying and tightening the acer-
bities of politics made for him no unworthy
position. The whole country, without regard
to politics, can join in regretting the loss
of Mr.. Cox from the political arena, where
he has been so long creditable and attrac-
tive figure.

AIMED AT OFFICE BOYS,

Philadelphia has sort of proprietary in
terest in the Postofice Department, and her
distinguished citizens are continually offer
ing suggestions to Brother John Wana-
maker for use in the mail service. The dear
old village by the Delaware, presents a
livelier appearance than it ever did before,
say the travellers who pass through Phila-
delphia, on their way to Eastern or Western
cities. Several times on the hottest days of
this summer, it is recorded that several
Philadelphians have been seen wide awake
watching the grass grow on Chestnut street.
Doubtless these restless villagers were puz-
zling their brains over schemes to help
Brother John along in the postofice.
We do not know whether Mr.. Edward j.
Paxson, of Philadelphia, has lost much of
his daily or nightly slumbers in evolving
his wonderful plan to double the size of the
present postage stamp in order to permit
the person using it to print his name on it,
in panel especially designed for the pur-
pose. We hope Mr.. Paxson has not wasted
much time on it for he may be assured that
the public will not. The idea is ridicul-
GUS. The only advantage alleged to arise
from its use would be the curtailment of
the Office boys time honored privilege of
stealing his employers stamps. Has Mr..
Paxson been betrayed by some bad, bold Office
boy. that he threatens thus to curtail the
liberties of great class? If Mr.. Paxson
and the other good old fogies Of the village
that fingers somewhere in this State are so
anxious about the safety of their stamps let
them buy safes, or dispense with Office boys
Uncle Sam cannot be bothered with such
whimsical conjurings. The vast majority
of the people are we'll satisfied with the
stamp at it is-barring the green dye. Per-
haps a sacrifice sale of stamps would be
popular, and if Mr.. Wanamaker wants to
create noise let him offer three two cent
stamps for a nickel.

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PITTsBURG, WEDNESDAY, SEP. IL, 1889.
THE OCEAN STORM.

The usual course of great storms whose
effects are felt in this country is from West
to East. Their ravages are generally ex-
perienced in the West or Northwest before
they reach this section, and Pittsburg e1-
poets as a rule to feel them before they cross
the mountains to the Atlantic coast Yes
terday, however, the seaboard was visited
with a windstorm and tidal wave which is
heightened by the contrast with the almost
idyllic autumn weather which we have on
this side of the Alleghenies.
This storm, which seems to have come
from the tropics and to have shown its great
est force along path well out to sea from
the coast line of the United States, was most
destructive in the tidal waves which have
washed away the shores and overturned
structures at the seaside resorts. In addi-
tion to that the wind has demoralized tele-
graphic connection along the coast as if
with perverse determination to prevent
the reports of its destruction from being
sent to the country. These losses are slight
and easily replaced. But the indications
which they give of terrible storms at sea,
The possible laundering Of great ships and
The drowning of helpless souls by the angry
waves are likely to cause apprehensions
which cannot be fully relieved for days.
1t is hard to imagine such an outburst of
the forces of nature only a few hundred
miles away from our placid skies and rest
ful nights But there is little doubt that
storms have been raging over the Atlantic
which give a new demonstration of the
pigmy strength of man when measured
against the power of the elements.

LONDON's BUTCHERIEs.

The temperance of one of those grisly
murders which have spread the name of
Jack the Ripper" worldwide, is the sensa-
tion of yesterday at London. The remarka-
bic nature of these butcheries and the power
lessness of society to stop them are most
phenomenal. The terrible mutilation of
the victims and the slaughter of SO many
women OF the most unfortunate and pitiable
class can only be explained on the theory OF
q fendish sort Of insanity. But that theory
can hardly be made to accord with the
genius and luck of the murderer in eluding
detection, except on the assumption of re-
rnarkable degree of stupidity in the London
police. Perhaps that fine constabulary
force has been so busy shadowing the Irish
members of Parliament and quelling the
London strikers that it could spend no time
in protecting the poor drabs of White
chapel.

MORE IMPORTANT WORK.

The project of q school for the develop
ment of grand opera is revived in New York
by Mr.. Anton Seidl, who develops his ideas
in recently published interview. 1t is
hardly necessary to review the details OF this
project, in view of the fact that one nursery
of American opera has already gone to
pieces in an expensive manner, and that
New York has large number OF projects on
hand, from the Centennial arch to the
Worlds Fair, which are in comatose con-
dition on account of the chronic inability of
that wealthy city to raise the necessary funds
for them. The unfavorable outlook is less
to be regretted in this case. The develop
ment of a school of music is a praiseworthy
idea; but it is more essential to public char
acter to secure the honest enforcement of. the
laws. the conduct of public affairs solely in
the public interest, and the restraint of
egregious wealth from aggressions on the
welfare Of the people. New York will have
big contract in reforming such things, and
can let the school of opera rest while she is
doing the larger and more pressing job.

DECORATING THE APPLE TREES.
A Beautiful Custom That Is Followed by
French Peasant Girls.

Beautiful Custom That Is Followed by
French Peasant Girls.
From Harper's Young People.I
Near the little town of La Ferte, in France
think it is La Ferte-there is an apple tree
which bears only imperfect blossoms; and the
fact having long ago been discovered, has given
rise to a very beautiful custom among the
maidens of the village. When spring time
comes, and the apple tree halls the joyous time
with glad burst of blossom, the maidens of
the village arm themselves with gay ribbons
and perfect blossoms from their favorite trees,
and go singing to the lonely tree which has
produced only the imperfect blossoms. Each
girl then kisses a cluster Of the imperfect
blossoms with cluster of perfect blossoms, and
IN so doing dusts the former with the pollen
from the latter. She then ties distinguishing
ribbon near to the cluster she has busted.
The tree looks very gay when thus deco
rated, with the pink blossoms smiling up at
heaven and the dainty ribbons fluttering in the
perfume-laden air; but the best of it is when
the leaves drop like summer snow and the
little apples begin to take shape. Then the
maidens pluck off all but the best fruit, and let
that take all the strength of the tree, so that
the apples grow famously and come to per-
fection. And now is seen the strange part of
the affair. The apples, instead of being all of
one kind, are as different as the blossoms that
kissed their blossoms the fact being that the
apple is exactly like the apple on the tree from
which the pollen-bearing blossom was taken.
SO on this one tree will be seen round. rosy
checked apples, long yellow apples, juicy ap-
ples, mealy apples, dainty little apples, and
t'monstrous big" apples. Each maiden has the
apple she wished most to have.

Several Old Cemeteries.

The noted United Presbyterian preachers of
the olden time, Drs. Bruce and Kerr, whose
churches were on Cherry alley, one square
apart, and fronting on Seventh avenue, the
other on Sixth avenue, were also forced to 90
beyond the city limits for burial place, and
the spot selected by them is now occupied by
the Forbes school building.
1t will not require very long memory to re-
call the Kerr and Bruce church burying
grounds, with their tangled thickets, sunken
graves and tumble-down headstones, which
were well out in the country half century ago.
These graveyards were on what was called the
Fourth street road, Fifth avenue at that time
running into Grants Hill and suddenly termi-
mating at the roar of st. Paul's Cathedral.
Well, this, as preachers might say, is all in
troductory to the main topic-the origin and
growth of Allegheny Cemetery.
Along In the thirties Pittsburg began to give
evidence that 1t was bound to be one of the
great commercial and manufacturing centers
of the land. During that decade it began to
put off village and town airs. and concluded to
be city. The graveyards of the old town, laid
out by Bayard and Craig at the close Of the
Revolution, were found to be not equal to their
original designs

AN UNIMPoRTANT FATALITY.

The tri-weekly industrial fatality of latest
date, is the sudden flooding of a coal mine
out in Colorado which drowned all the men
in the mine. As there were only eleven
men there, and as the mine is two thousand
miles away. the affair does not cause much
of sensation hereabouts.
Nevertheless the addition to the vital
hazards of industrial work, of the possibility
that miners may be overwhelmed by sud-
den outburst of subterranean streams is not
an encouraging one. That there is always a
probability of some water in mines everyone
knows who knows anything of them. But
it seems that the science which can locate the
coal veins and determine their drift and
thickness, ought to be able to tell if any
such overwhelming and unseen dangers lurk
in their immediate vicinity.
This fatality. together with the others
that are happening nearly every day, gives
point to the belief that modern industrial
enterprise is beginning to think so much of
the possible dollar to be made, that it cares
little for the life which may be sacrificed to
make it.

THE LIMIT DISCOVERED.

The proposition OF Mr. Willard for the
refunding and extension of the debt of the
Northern Pacific has the usual features
of that adventurous fnancier's plans for
persuading his own corporations TO jump
out of the frying pan into the fire. 1t is
one of the singular aspects of the case that
even the Wall Street Press, which is fully
committed to the policy of stockwatering,
refuses to swallow this heroic dose of Mr..
Wizards compounding.
1t is pointed out that a corporation
already overwhelmed with debt, of which
o considerable portion is to be classified
with the stock as purely fictitious, is not
likely to improve its position very much by
swelling Its debt AS the addition OF the debt
proposed in this case is S40,000,000 the
chance that the additional sum may be used
in schemes which will wreck the corpora
ton, as it has been wrecked once before
under Mr.. Wizards fostering care, is also
very pointedly alluded to.
1t is interesting to discover that there are
limits to Wall streets liberation of stock
watering. Doubts had existed as to whether
it had any limits.

ATLANTAs UNPARALLELED FEATURE

The argument of our esteemed cotempo-
fary, the Atlanta Constitution, to show
that Chattanooga can never be as big city
as Atlanta, is interesting for its unique
statement of facts. 1t compares Pitts burg
and Philadelphia, asserting that while this
city is the center of thecoal and iron indus
try, "yet 80 miles away is Philadelphia, ten
times as large, cleaner, healthier, better
and pleasanter city" Thus we learn the
surprising facts that (1) Philadelphia is 90
miles from Pittsburg; (2) that it is ten times
as large, which would give it q population
nearly as great as London; and 90 that it is
''cleaner, healthier, better and pleasanter, :"
The vigor with which the esteemed organ of
Henry W. Grady draws on its Imagination
for its facts perhaps furnishes the best argu-
ment to establish the belief that Chattanooga
can never hope to equal the city which con-
fains it.
