THE CLOSING EVIDENCE.

The evidence in the Cronin murder trial
at Chicago closes with proof, like bolt of
lightning, that leaves little of the defense in
the case of one prisoner. The finding upon
the person of Coughlin of two knives, which
were identified as the property OF the muir
dered man, will leave little doubt in the
general mind as to his guilt.
1t is impossible to avoid reflections as to
the light which this throws on the course
pursued by the defense in this case. There
has alrsSiy been reason to suspect hard
sweari in the efoEt to establish an alibi;
while the means takeh to "6x" the jury
indicated determia ed effort to override
justics, by foul metps This last disclosure
showing that frieii Af the prisoner on the
police force conceal 9, most important evi-
dence against him, till it was fortuitously
brought out at the last moment, confirms
the belief in widespread and unscrupulOus
conspiracy to override and defeat justice,
and maintain the right of the conspirators
to commit murder with impunity.
1t remains to be seen whether the law in
Chicago is sufficient to defeat and punish
such conspiracy. In the interest of Gov
ernment, by law, and the protection of
American citizenship. it sto be hoped that
it will prove so.

PARTY AND PuRLIC

The Speakership contest is alleged to be
settled in favor of Reed. Although new
combinations may be made and broken be-
fore the House organizes next Monday, that
part of the slate seems to be so clearly
written down as to warrant hope that Mr..
Reeds jocoseness may soften the asper1ties
of partisan contentious. The hope is les
sened, however, by the general understand
ing that Reed is put there to force partisan
measures through the House, regardless of
the rights of the minority. While the mem
bers are fixing up the slate for the Clerkship
and the other choice bits Of patronage, it
may be well for them to consider that to
secure partisan ends by means of the gag
rule is not the true way to strengthen the
standing of the party before the people.
Perhaps if the party leaders would consider
party less and the public interests more, in
their public policy. it might not be worse
for their party in the long run.

EUROPEAN SUSPICIOUS.

The death of halfcivilized ruler in the
remote regions Of Afghanistan is again
causing the powers of Europe to
look askance at each other, with the expec-
tation that the war cloud will burst, over
the question as to who will be his successor.
A few years ago the Afghan question
came close to precipitating conflict be-
tween England and Russia, and while the
dispute was compromised each power has
kept jealous watch on that debateable
ground. Both have extended their military
railroads close to the Afghan border, and
the expectation of Europe seems to be that
when one tries to seat its representative in
Atghanistan the other will march its troops
over the border.
The state of International suspicion
which sets every power to overhauling its
war material upon the death of the chief of
far-off and uncivilized nation, is the most
remarkable evidence of the false basis upon
which European affairs rest. Rather than
let it continue, the impartial observation of
the United States would advise Europe to
fight it out and have done with it.

P1rTsBURG AND SOUTHERN IRON.

The statement that the firm of Carnegie,
Phipps & Co., have ordered an invoice OF
Southern Bessemer pig iron and will test
its qualities at their Homestead works, gives
an indication of the correctness of the posi-
tion which The DISPATCH has always
maintained concerning the relation of Piits-
burg to the Southern iron industry. That
was that when the Southern furnaces demon
strated their ability to make the kind OF
iron that Pittsburg wants. and to deliver it
here as cheaply as furnaces in other regions,
Pittsburg will buy the iron. While this
city produces an immense amount of pig
metal, its position in the iron market is as
consumer of pig metal rather than as a
producer.
The Southern region is connected with
Pittsburg by water transportation, and if it
can add to the supplies of metal which this
market commands it will be a gain to Pitts
burg rather than detraction from her
supremacy. The value of the iron is yet to
be tested in actual operation; but Pittsburg
need not fear to have it succeed.

SAFETY AGAINST cONF1AeRAr1urs.

Both the Boston and Lynn fires are re-
ported to have been aggravated in the total
OF their destructiveness by the narrow streets
on which the fires were raging, and prob
ably in the larger city, by the height of the
business blocks which made it difficult for
the fire department to work. The reflection
ois very strongly suggested that large share
of Pittsburg's streets have the vice Of mar
rowness while the needs of modern COM
merce are forcing the reconstruction of our
buildings on as lofty scale as prevails in
other cities.
Many of the streets adjacent to the bust
ness center, which are now Of second rate
standing by reason of the inferior character
of their buildings, and which therefore must
undergo reconstruction in the future, are
susceptible of being widened. The cost of
q policy which on such streets as First,
Second and Third avenues, on Fourth ave-
nue. above Smithfeld, and on Market and
the streets below it, would set back the
building line, and require all new structures
to build to it, would be comparatively
slight The value Of the streets would be
unmeasurably enhanced thereby, and the
danger illustrated by the last Boston fire
would be very nearly removed.
On the other hand it is pertinent to notice
that while fire, once started, may be made
worse by narrow streets, that does not ac-
count for the origin Of fires. These con-
fagratiOns at the inception of cold weather
are due undoubtedly to carelessness in the
starting of fires; and it is feassuring to note
that Pittsburg's peculiar fuel has resulted
in comparative freedom from them. While
natural gas has its dangers from ignorant
and careless use, there is little doubt that
with proper appliances it gives greater
safety against fire than any other fuel
known. This applies equally in the case of
Manufactured fuel gas. The value of that
safety should be borne in mind, il ever the

ION one occasion, when Modieska was play

ton, ''she required bier to lie upon in one Of
her scenes, and, it not having been provided,
the Polish Countess sent to Stetson, stating
that she wanted bier.

THE messenger duly repeated the message.
"'She won't won't she,' screamed Stetson;
well, we'll see if she won't. That's the way
with these furriners; they always want beer,

A SEVERE LESSON.

The severe sentences in Court yesterday
upon those officials and their accomplices
who used the law as a weapon of extortion
will teach lesson which should last for a
long time. Nothing is more to be con-
aemned than that the machinery Of justice
should be set in motion and operated for
private purposes. Where it is used for
blackmailing, as was clearly shown to have
been the case in the operations Of the men
yesterday sentenced, the Commonwealth
cannot too quickly or too sternly assert its
dignity and punish the imposture.
As for those offenders who, by reason of
their own attractions of the law, put them
selves at the mercy of bogus detectives or
dishonest magistrates, they are not entitled
to sympathy. But the eelected or appointed
officers of the people, who are vested with
the power and duty of preserving order and
seeing that statutes are enforced, are authori-
ties for that purpose; and between proseGu-
tions entered with view to preserving the
peace and those which are started with
view to being settled for consideration,
there is such difference that the public are
not liable to mistake the one class for the
other.
The lesson of yesterday is one that can
hardly fail Of salutary influence.

agent called at a livery stable in Middletown
one day this week to sell a book. It was a valu-
able work, and the liveryman and several of
his friends who were present thought of taking
one each. During the conversation the boob
agent gave Waterbury as his place of resi-
dence, whereupon the liveryman said that he
formerly lived in that city and was financial
sufferer through dealings with some of its citi-
zens. He mentioned one name, that of church
deacon, who had owed him bill and he had
never been able to collect it The book agent
inquired as to the amount of the bill and what
1t was for, and on being informed took out his
pocketbook and counted out the money with
the remark:
II am that man; here's your money; give me
a receipt Now, then, can't sell you copy of
this great work, which, as I previously re-
marked, has had the endorsement of eminent
divines, learned scholars prominent teachers,
distinguished editors, celebrated -"
"I'n take four copies, said the nYeryman,
and signed his name to the book.
The cost was S24, while the old bill which the
the book agent paid was SIS, just the amount
of his commissions. 1t was sharp trick and
well played, and has made that book agent
many friends in Middletown.

CATCHING LoBsTRRs By STEAM.
A New Method of Fishing RevolutiOuIzinE
the Industry.


NEW HAVEN, November @.-A new de-
parture in the lobster fishery in the Race and in
Fishers Island Sound, Plum Gut, and of
Montauk Point is being taken by the Noank
fishermen. They are invoking the aid Of the
mighty arm Of steam. Heretofore the business
has been mainly conducted by sailboats Of
different sizes. The first deviation from this
course was instituted by Captain r. P. Ashby,
Of Noank, who constructed the steamer Eva, o
vessel of about eight tons, and thus became the
pioneer steamer lobsterman. His venture was
watched with interest by his brother lobster
men, and as success has crowned his efforts,
other steamers are TO be introduced into the
business next season.
The great difficulty hitherto met in the Long
Island Sound fishery has been the hauling Of
lobster pots by hand in the rushing tides. This
work has to be prosecuted over so great depths
that 1t Is possible to pull the pots only at slack
water. Consequently there has been much lost
time for the fisherman. and his gear has been
frequently swept away by the tides, because If
he weighted it heavily enough to hold it in DO
sition it would be almost impossible for him to
haul it
As may be judged, fishing for HOLSTERS by
steam is attended by much less hard work than
is required by the old way, as nearly all the
labor is performed by steam. Many more pots
can be hauled at tide, and indications now
point to a total revolution in the manner Of
transacting the business.

time comes for considering the question
whether we shall return to the use of coal
or adopt fuel gas.
Safety against condagrations is one Of the
most important considerations in large
cities, and nothing which bears upon that
point can be without value in the adaptation
of Pittsburg to its enlarged business and
population.
