ex-President the dusky Legitime isl But
may not some independent reader of the
multitudinous accounts Of slaughter and
unavailing contention in the wretched
island ask Legitime why he did not leave
the country three months ago when his
chances of defeating his rival were all gone?
If he returns to Hayti, as he threatens some
day to do, it is to be hoped that he will keep
or be kept by the authorities out Of the
President business. Hayti has had ehough
of him. The population needs rest, and
after that steady course of government by
the people, for the people. Presidents of the
Haytian variety are an expensive luxury
for young republic.

A LESSON FROM THE PAST.

1t has been said by foreigners chiefly that
America lives principally in the present,
and has a great hankering to live
a good deal into the future also.
These critics mean to say that the
American nation has not much of a past
to 90 and come upon. The critics are a lit
tie right and great deal wrong. The fact
is, America has a past large enough in point
Of the lapse of years for all practical pur-
poses, and in point OF glory and grand
national experience far greater than many,
indeed, most other countries have.
A good illustration of the past of this
country, and especially that of the good old
keystone State of Pennsylvania, is to be
sSsRin the celebration of the founding of
the OlGIpg College near Hartsville yester-
day. 1t was not so much in honor of the
log cabin in(which good Mr. Tennent began
the education of his sons and other mems
sons for the Presbyterian ministry more
than a century and a half ago, as it was
commemorative of the enlargement, if not
the absolute founding, of the Presbyterian
Church in the United States. The cause of
the celebration could hardly have been
worthier, seeing the great benefits that that
chdrch has brought to this country and the
dignity and importance of the college of
Princeton, which sprang from the modest
school cabin of Mr.. Tennent.
The President and the other statesmen of
note who were present naturally dwelt in
their speeches upon the remarkable results
of so small beginning. Perhaps it will be
especially noticed, as it has been before,
that President Harrison is fond of praising
the quality of steadfastness in the Presby-
terian church. 1t is a grand quality,
though as Mr.. Harrison says, hostile OBJ
servers are wont to call it obstinacy some
times. The church and the individual are
to be congratulated when their steadfast-
ness cannot be mistaken for obstinacy.

AMERICAS Coon LICK.

Everything is going nicely for these
United States this year. The harvest is
generally reported to have been good; the
Government is releasing enough money to
make that useful article fairly plentiful for
those who can get it, and there is no great
political campaign to intoxicate the nation
this fall, Now comes the crowning piece of
good luck, Mrs. James Brown Potter has
concluded not to make tour of this coun-
try with Mr.. Kyrle Bellew this season. This
announcement completes the delight the
nation felt when it learned that Mrs. Lang
try was to wage warfare on the blarSted
Britons for year or SO. 1t is safe to say
now that everything America undertakes
this year will prosper. Secretary Blaine
can quietly enjoy life while the Rush dis
tributes its crew among the Canadian seal
ers in Behring Sea, and energetic New York
newspapers may insist on capturing coaling
station for the United States in Hayti.
Some days ago correspondent of The
DISPATCH wrote asking when was the best
time to plant trees, cucumbcrs, moon vines,
and a variety of other things. Under the
circumstances we have no hesitation in tell
ing our correspondent to go ahead and plant
everything and anything he has while
Americas lucky moon is full. The auspices
could not be better. No "Antony and
Cleopatra" Cora Potter and Kyrle Bellew
for a whole year! 1t sounds almost too
good to be true. But the report is authori-
tative. We trust that Mrs. Potter will soon
recover her health and her senses suff-
ciently to return tO. that station in lite which
she was born to adorn. 1t will be splen-
did thing for her, and it will be the grand
est step she has ever taken to elevate the
stage.

A THRIVING SUBURB.

The Brnddock of To- Day Confrasted With
the Battlefield of 1755-The Hamlet of
1876 Now n Populous Town Facts
About the Great Edgar Thomson Steel
Works.
WRITTEN FOR THE DISPATCH.
Prior to the year 1872 where the thriving
young city of Braddock now stands was Brad
docks Field, historic spot, where George
Washington won the laurels that placed him
before the American colonies as one fitted to
lead in the enterprise of founding anew Re-
public. Though historic ground, Braddock's
field continued for l3O years to be nothing more
than good place for farming and gathering
arrow-heads and other relics of colonial times.
In the year 1872 the Carnegie Brothers re-
solved to erect an establishment for the manu-
facture of steel rails on this historic site, and
the trst ground was broken for the Edgar
Thomson Steel Works In the winter of 1928.
The enterprise started out with two con-
verters for the making of steel rails and the
idea Of making the steel from the crude ore was
altogether foreign to the aim of the projectors.
The plan at first was to produce the iron at Lucy
or other furnaces or purchase and there was
then little thought of furnaces at Braddock.
When the steel rail mill was once under full
headway the panic of 1873, which blasted many
promising enterprise, came along, and the
Edgar Thomson Works continued in a condi-
tion of suspended animation from that time
until 1875 the anniversary of American Inde-
pendence.

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PITTsBURG. FRIDAY, SEP. 6. 1889.
AN AID TO MURDER.

Again a murder has occurred in the Hill
dIstrict-a murder exhibiting senseless and
cowardly depravity in the man who did the
deed. As in a similar bloody tragedy
which was enacted on the Hill few months
ago. the murderer is a colored man, the vic
tim is his wife, and the only motive visible
insane jealousy.
There is little more to be said about this
terrible event than 6 murder usually calls
for. 1t is a painful reflection that our
boasted civilization, with all its humanizing
and religious agencies, still remains power
less to curb the bloodthirsty passions Of
men. But from this case, at least, the INFER
enee may be drawn that there are far too many
men in this community who are accustomed
to carry firearms, and that the habit is not
reprehended and suppressed as it should
be by law-abiding citizens Ex-Policeman
Bageley, who lives in the house where the
murder was committed, says that he saw
Smith, the alleged murderer in this case,
loading his pistol on the afternoon before
the crime took place, and thought seriously
enough OF the sight to warn his (Bageley's)
wife to lock her door. He said he thought
Smith might get to shooting in the night.
If he so thought it would have been better
for him to have had Smith arrested there
and then. 1t is very unlikely that Smith
had permit to carry arms, and the mere
fact Of his having pistol about him, would
have been cause enough for his Judgement
in Nil.
OF course the murder might have hap
pened sooner or later if Smith had been ar
rested on such charge. But there would
not be such continuous procession of un-
provoked murders in this city if the law
against carrying letnal weapons were more
Systematically enforced, not only by the
police but by the public at large.

New Fields for Skilled rIachiuists.

With improved machinery the principal call
for skill is in understanding the workings of
the machines so as to keep them in good run
ming order. In this line new fields are
opening constantly for skillful mechan-
les. 1t is reported that recent invention
of Captain Jones, superintendent of the
works, will prove saving of 5000 per month
on old methods. IL this be true. his salary,
which common Tu1nor says is equal to that of
the President of the United States, is none too
high.
There are but two steel rail mills in the world
equal in capacity to that at Braddock. One is
at Barrow-ln- Furness, in the North of England,
where there are eight ten-ton converters. and
the other is in Russia under the control of
Krupp, the gunmaker. The Edgar Thomson
produces much larger results than either in
proportion to the number Of furnaces and men
employed.

WANTED-BURGLARS.

Until lately the "Rev." Hugh o. Pente-
cost has been chiefly notable for the cheap
profanity of his sermons. The profane man
is of course lacking in sense, but we hardly
expected Mr.. Pentecost to exhibit such
abject asininity as he did in dis
course delivered in Newark, N.
j., last Sunday. The pet fallacy Mr..
Pentecost trotted out on that occasion was
the old one, that sin is moral disease for
the results of which man is not responsible.
From this basis it was easy enough for him
to argue that such things as human justice
and law were unrighteous. No man should
be punished for crime, any more than he
should be punished for having scarlet fever
or mumps, was the beautiful conclusion
reached by the Reverend" gentleman.
Conscious. we presume, that such doctrine
as this was hard for even such congrega-
ton as he attracts to swallow, Mr.. Pente-
cost backed it up with this benevolent
declaration:
''If knew burglar was in my house at
night would 60 to him with light, un-
armed, and talk to him as 1 would to
friend whom desired to help If he then
desired to take my goods I would make no
protest, nor would cause his arrest I
would follow him to the door and invite him
to call again"
Perhaps some of Mr.. Pentecost's friends
will accept the invitation. We would ad-
wise them, however. to tread lightly and
keep the outward symptoms of their dis
ease, the billy, the revolver and the crow
bar, ready for emergencies. There is
great difference between preaching and
practice sometimes; and we do not believe
that Mr.. Pentecost intends the gentle bur-
glar to take him at his word.

WHERE IT WILL DO THE MOST GOOD.

The petition which ten thousand brake
men recently addressed to the Interstate
Commerce Commission asking for the com
pulsory use Of automatic brakes and COUP
lers on freight cars, receives a general in
dorsement from the press of the country.
There is no doubt that the purpose set forth
in the petition is an extremely praiseworthy
one. The daily sacrifice of life from the ne
cesSity Of using old-fashioned couplers in
making up freight trains exceeds anything
of which the public has a clear idea.
Nevertheless the petition itself and the ap-
proval of it by the press reveals the general
ignorance of the jurisdiction of the Inter.
State Commerce Commission. There is not
line in the law creating that body which
gives it any authority to order the use of
automatic couplers. 1t is very doubtful if
the subject is one which belongs to Congress
siOnal legislation. The regulation of the
appliances for safety and protection of
human life on the railroad is one which has
hitherto been left exclusively to the States.
The railway brakesmen should certainly be
advised to send their petition to the Legis-
lature of every State, in order to put it
where it will do the most good.

A WATERMELON PARTY.

The Home Of ID. Nj. Watts Filled by n Party
of Youths and Mnidens.
A charming and novel watermelon party was
given last night at the home of D. NJ. Watt,
Esq. of East Liberty. The gentlemen were
obliged, according to the invitation, to wear
flannel shirts and the ladies were asked to don
the loose and breezy blouse.
The invitation cards that were sent the
favored ones were elegant souvenirs of the
evenings entertainment. All around the
grounds locomotive headlights we're placed,
about six feet apart, and these with about 500
Chinese lanterns, which hung in the trees and
on the bushes, gave the place q weird, yet en-
chanting appearance. At 8 o'clock the first
carriage rolled up to the front entrance, fol-
lowed closely for an hour by carriages bringing
guests from every part OF East Liberty.
The first part of the evening was spent by the
gentlemen and ladies strolling through the
grounds and around the wooded walks. About
10 o'clock rows of heavily laden tables of fruit
were laid out at the back part of the mansion.
Over so couple sat down and did justice TO the
good things provided. The balance of the even
ing was spent indoors A carpet dance took
place. and the guests kept excellent time in
rythmic mbtion to the sweet strains of the
waltz, as played by the orchestra of Gernert &
Guenther.

An Army of Workers.

The number of men employed at the Edgar
Thomson works at this time is not less $780,
There are upwarsof $50 engaged in brick and
stonemason work. 1t requires the handling of
5000 tons of material to produce the 1000 tons
OF steel rails turned out daily. In all 575 car.
loads of material are handled daily, and If
natural gas had not come to the rescue of the
concern this quantity would be greatly in
creased.
With the advantage arising from improved
machinery and natural gas, the Braddock
Steel Works is enabled to do a work which
would require 10000 men at least, if old meth
ods were followed, A wag of a workman said
recently: "If the improvements of machinery
keep on at the same pace the next decade as
they have done the last there will be no more
need for anything in making steel rails but
natural gas and policemen" 1t is ascertained
that there are now from 20 to 25 policemen on
constant duty at the Edgar Thomson works.

The yapderbIIts Own the Town.

"These Vanderbilts are outrageous graballs,"
said Mayor Grant to-day. 'They monopolize
one of the most valuable sections of the city
for their depot and railroad yard, and have
gobbled up big slice of the North river water
front, and monopolized the streets opened for
the enetit Of the public. Altogether, the Van
derbilts have more privileges and pay less for
them than any other corporation in the city"
The Mayor was angry, and his anger was caused
by the refusal of the New York and Harlem
Street Railway Company, controlled by the
Vanderbilts, to pave the space between its rails
on Madison avenue with asphalt. Although
the original charter of the company calls for
paving between the tracks, the Vanderbilts
claim that this provision does not concern the
Fourth avenue road, which was built under an
extension of the original grant without speci-
fcation as to paving. The Corporation Coun-
sci says the Vanderbilts can be legally com.
PEELED to pay. Mayor Grant this afternoon an
nounced his determination to make them pay
the last cent for the anticipated trouble and
expense of the Public Works Department.
