PITY THE CITY LoAFER !

The city loafer is q much-persecuted
person, and will probably arise and make
known his grievances if he can overcome
the aversion to action which characterizes
him. He is always being ordered to move
on; be is not allowed to cOngregate at street
corners or in front Of public buildings, and
is generally treated with contumely. Now
Allegheny Councils strikes blow at him
by prohibiting, under severe penalties, any
losfng in front of the Carnegie Library,
How different the treatment accorded to
the city loafer's country cousin. When the
sun goes down behind the snow-clad hills
the village storekeeper thoughtfully sets
empty barrels on end for him to rest upon,
carefully strews upon the floor pieces of
cracker boxes convenient for whitling pur-
poses, and sees to 1t that the stove is red
hot. Poet, painter and novelist work
together to cast the halo of romance around
the happy, idle group, and illustrate, with
brush, pen and pencil the simple gossip
about "Silas' red heifer, " "the new school"
and other matters of rural interest.
Why does not some philanthropist estab-
lish Ioafng places in cities? Itmight make
the lOafer happier. and it would certainly
be an unmitigated blessing to lady pedes-
trians, who have to wade through tobacco
juice past groups Of idle and usually insO-
lent men at the street corners.

POINTER FOR sPoILSMEE,

Republicans and Democrats of a certain
very weIl-known class are combining at
Washington to make an assault upon the
civil service law of 1888. They are not
maintaining any show of secrecy even in
their preparations for this noble and high
minded undertaking. Senator Ingalls, has
pronounced his emphatic approval of the
campaign against the policy which the
Pendleton law embodies and which the last
National Republican platform Endorsed,
and bis remarks are only verbally varied by
the friend of the spokesman on the other
side Of the fence, Senator Vance. It is q
happy and singular unanimity. But we
sincerely hope that these statesmen will
have common grief in the defeat of their
plans next year,
In regard to this subject our esteemed
contemporary the New York Times points
out one of the consequences of the success
of this anti-civil service reform raid, which
we think has not been generally considered.
This consequence would be "that if any ad-
ministration should undertake, after an ap-
preparation had been refused for the COM
mission, to make clean sweep it would
depopulate the departments until such time
as Congress should provide money for the
work of the commission again, because un-
der the law no appointments can be made
in the classified service except in accord
ance with the rules as they have been, or
shall have been, duly promulgated. 1t is
not surprising that this fact is unknown to
the opponents of the system. All that
they think it necessary to know about the
system is that it interferes with the distri-
button of the spoils. That is enough to
make them rush at it blindly. But they
will hardly find a majority in either branch
of Congress, TO say nothing of one in each
branch. so stupidity ignorant as to follow
them"

oHIo,s FORGERY SCANDAL.

1t will do no harm, and it may do consid-
cradle good, if the committee which the
House of Representatives agreed yesterday,
at the instance of Congressman Butterworth,
to appoint, makes thorough investigation
of the ballot box forgery matter. THE
DISPATCH has already printed a great
many of the circumstances under which the
forged contract passed from R. G. Wood
to Governor Foraker, but that there still
remains more to be told we have little
doubt. Between the Congressional com.
mittee and the courts, which have also laid
hold Of Mr. Wood, the truth and all the
truth is likely enough to be squeezed out
Aside from the necessity of Furnishing the
forger and cOmpOunder of the fraudulent
contract, it is extremely desirable that the
exalted person or persons behind the scenes,
who are alleged to have pulled the strings
in this shameful business with view to
benefting their own political fortunes and

A BRILLIANT BAZAAR.
The o. P. Orphans Home Benefit a Most
Successful Event.

The o. P. Orphans Home Benefit Most
Successful Event.
Old City Hall has never witnessed brighter
more animated scene than was presented
within its four walls yesterday.
Buntings of various colors and the national
flag in great profusion changed the ordinary
aspect of the hall quite materially, and when
the throngs of richly-dressed men, women and
children began TO arrive one wished for two
pairs of eyes with which to view the beauties
Of the scene.
The occasion was that of the annual fair and
bazaar given for the benefit of the Orphans
Home by the ladies OF the United Presbyterian
Churches.
The center of the room was occupied BY the
fancy booth in pretty drapings of pale yellow
and green. and there everything feminine taste
could invent or skill manufacture was to be
found.
The dolls, and there were hosts OF them, per-
feet swarms were in booth of the fiery red,
and the glassware in the cool green and pure
white drapings displayed its sparkling Qualities
to the best possible advantage.
The American flag made patriotic the CON-
mon sense booth, where SO many useful articles
were exhibited that eople were forced to be
was dispensed to the multitude under the
dainty coloYs of rose and blue. The upper por-
ton Of the hall became dining room for the
occasion, and number of lovely tables loaded
with all the good things of the season tempted
the hungry wanderer to an over liberal supply
of supper. The event was great financial sue
cess, and reflects much credit upon the ladies
who had it in charge, a list of which was pub
lished in these columns yesterday morning.

EMIE BEY's AUNT.

Pittsburg is not exactly contiguous to the
dark and barbarous lands from which STAN
ley and Emin Bey have just now emerged,
and yet the latter explorer is bound to our
classic suburb, the West End, by tie OF
kinship that is strangely close. A reporter
of The DISPATCH yesterday discovered in
the person of Mrs. J. P. Kolson, an aunt Of
the redoubtable Emin Bey. Mrs. KolsOn
lives in the West End, and she tells the
story of her relationship to the great ex-
plorer with such circumstantiality that we
cannot see why its entire truth should be
questioned.
The whole narrative is interesting, but
especially SO is that part of it which relates
to Mrs. Kolson's reeollections of her
nephew's precocious childhood, We are
not surprised to learn that even in his ear
liest days Joseph Schnitzler-for such was
the slightly unromantic name of Emin Bey
before he set about to climb the dizzy heights
of fame-was addicted to exploring the
territory within his reach. 1t is not re-
corded how many pots of preserves suffered
from his exploring fingers, but probably
they were not few. We have noticed that
there is a natural tendency in most boys
toward such explorations, and with the
germ Of that love for adventure in his
bosom which has carried Emin Bey into
untold dangers we can readily imagine how
the preserve cupboards must have paid
tribute to him in his youth.
By the way, the explorer must have had a
ioreboding of his coming fame when he ex-
changed his plain title of DR.. Joseph
Schnitzler for the more pretentious one of
Emin Bey. And yet he must feel a yearn-
ing to see the old folks in Cologne again. If
he will visit his relative here all Pittsburg
will assist Mrs. Kolson to make him well

THE CHOICE FoR TIE FAIR.

Everybody has been stirred up to more
active and immediate interest inthe Worlds
Fair project by the confident assertions Of
practical men that there is no more time to
lose if the fair is to come off at all in 1892.
Notwithstanding the intense rivalry among
the competing cities-the eager desire of
each to possess the attraction-there is the
feeling common to all of national pride,
which demands that wherever the fair be
held it shall be success. There is quick
perception now that Congress must not
dilly-dally upon the choice of location;
but that. on the contrary, whatever is to be
done should be done quickly.
What effect the demand for early action
will have can only be conjectured; but as
the bulk of conjecture so far runs, it favors
the idea that Washington will profit from
the newly awakened feeling. New York
is hardly in shape to make its most effective
showing at present Preparing for the fair
is slow work with New York. Chicago is
farther on; but if New York cannot win for
itself it is presumed that it will favor Wash
ington as the second choice.
The influence of the Congressional Com
mittee also, we judge, viii ultimately be in
favor of the National Capital Should the
latter city be selected, Pittsburg can claim
credit for the approval of the judgment of
its Chamber of Commerce, which was one of
the first public bodies in the country to take
the broad view that the fair, if national,
should be held at the capital of the nation.

KEEP THE PARK INTACT!

A very healthy sign of the times is the
close watch which city officials and public
men are keeping upon Pittsburg's new
park. There is no chance of any under
hand schemes to the detriment of this great
treasure being carried on successfully while
such a staunch watch dog as Mr.. R. B.
CArnahan is on guard. There is also an
evident disposition upon the part of City
Engineer W. H. Brown. Mr.. Moreland and
other officials of the city government to pro-
teet the park at all hazards and against all
corners, be they individuals or corporations,
The statement made by Mr.. Carnahan to
the effect that Mr. Torrens has no power or
right to grant any privileges to the Squirrel
Hill Electric Railroad Company, settles the
question. The railroad must withdraw; and,
unless the permission Of the people of Pitts
burg, through their representatives in Coun-
ellis, is obtained, which is very improbable,
the withdrawal must be permanent. Now
Pittsburg has park she is going to keep it,
and every bit of it for her own use, pleasure
and benefit.

THE CHRISTMAS PANTOMIME.
Preparations Proceeding BrnveIy In the

Preparations Proceeding BraveIy In the
Line of Great Success.
The ladies interested in the Christmas panto-
mime for the benefit of the Newsboys Home
held meeting yesterday afternoon and decided
to change the dates from December 80 and 81
to Thursday and Friday. December 26 and q.
This was done on account of the attraction that
will be at the Bijou the 30th and 3lst it being
a tank show and having heavy scenery that
could not be removed for the afternoon per-
formances of the pantomime.
The tickets for the entertainment are now on
sale. In order that there may be no mistake.
and that the people can be certain they are
buying tickets for genuine show and not o
fake" the tickets are all marked "a Christ
mas pantomime for the benefit of the News
boys Home, given under the auspices OF the
lady managers of the Home" The price for the
tickets is 81 for adults and so cents for children
The tickets can be obtained from the managers
of the Home and at the stores Of j. r. Weldin
& Co., H Watts & Co., Mellor & Hoene and s.
Hamilton, in Pittsburg, and at the newsstand
of T. Gillespie, in the Fort Wayne depot, Allie
gheny.
1t should be remembered that the entertain
ments will be given in the afternoons only.
While they will be particularly pleasing to
children, the grown-up folks will not find them
tiresome. The music, the tableaux, the dances
and the fairy tales make a combination that
will be superior TO anything Pittsburg amateurs
have attempted for many days.
