ONE OF the inmates Of the insane asy lum
at St. E zabetb, near Washington, escaped
Yesterday. There being standing reward
of So for the return of every escaped lunatic
to the asylum, the negroes living near there,
in order to secure that reward, collected
and resisted the officers of the asylum who
were attempting to capture the fugitive.
Ipdesd 30 reckless were the negroes 10 their
attempt to gaia their oheet that they struck
one of the officers of the asyum on the
head with brick, seriously irjuring him.
If the negroes are so vicious and foolish as
10 commit an outrage Of the sort referred to
within mile of the capital of the country,
and of national barracks, Ia 1t at all WON

tied portions of the South should be COM

AN ATTEMPT will be made by the repuo-

THE NEW YORK Tribune says some north
ern republican protectionists contemplate
making railroad excursion through the
South during the approaching fall. and that
they will stop at the larger towns and ad'
dress the people thereof in favor OF repuoii-
can principles and policies; not to revive
any unpleasant memories, but to present re-
pub.icapism in its most attractive form.
Words govern mankind-but not when the
facts to refute them are patent to ell OBJ
servers. And sing as sweetly as the repub-
lIcaus may do of reputl'caniam, they can
charm 10 southern democrat when ne sees
the customs houses and postofices OF the
South otiicared by negroes. and when he
rends in the newspapers that the first things
the republicans will attempt in The next
Congress will be to put negroes into the
seats In that body to which southern white
men were fairly and legally elected, and to
nut State elections in the South under the
supervision and control of federal officials

AN OLD GAME,

The rumor which got abroad in Wall
street yesterday that Gould and Sage were
unloading Missouri Pacific in preparation
for ten-million loan, which is to be issued
in payment for money advanced" by them
to the corporation, credits these emf
nent but unreliable millionaires with an in
tention to play an old, and once favorite,
game of theirs.
Since Mr.. Gould arrived at the undis-
puted position of hundred-millionaire or
more, it was given out that he had forsworn
these old tricks and was going to live up to
the respectable standards of finance. The
games which were played with such success
in the manipulation of Erie, Union Pacific
and Wabash were to be unknown in the con-
duct of that sterling property, the Missouri
Pacific, and year or two ago Mr.. Gould
even went so far as to express q mild doubt
as to the propriety of borrowing money to
pay dividends.
tits unnecessary to acquit Mr.. Gould of re-
turning to his familiar games until it is
proved that be is repeating one of them. But
it can hardly be forgotten that when men
have made several scores Of millions by such
means, the temptation to fstten their private
purses in that way after few years of absti-
nence, becomes almost irresistible.

MRS. scHENLEYs MUK1F1CEET GIFT.

The formal declaration of Mr.. Bigelow,
Chief of Public Works, and Of Mr.. Carna-
han, who has just returned from a visit to
Mrs. Schenley in London, confirm the in
telligence which had already appeared in
our news columns of the fnality of the gift
of 800 acres on Squirrel Hill for a park for
Pittsburg.
The magnitude Of this donation, and the
cheerful spirit in which it has been made,
cannot fail to be deeply appreciated by all
classes of citizens. 1t represents a money
value as it stands to-day of little, if at all,
less than half million dollars. What it
will represent in the future, as an ornament
to the city and q place for healthful and
rational enjoyment for the people, is beyond
all present estimation. We have seen how
the growth of business and population in
this town has extended beyond all the most
sanguine expectation of Its founders and
old-time inhabitants. The district near the
confluence of the rivers, which formerly suf-
feed both for business and for residence
purposes is now almost wholly taken up for
business, while the dwellings are miles far
and great open spaces which were once al
most at the doors of the toiling thousands
are now removed far beyond the possibili-
ties of easy access. 1t is doubly fortunate
that the 800 acres which Mrs. Schenley do
mates are comprised in what is actually the
nearest open ground to the center of the
city's population, being within fifteen min
utes of the postofice by cable cars; hardly
farther from the Southside, and capable of
being reached from the Bloomfield district
of Lawrenceville almost as quickly.
In connection with the Acknowledgements
which the city will undoubtedly make with
great sincerity to Mrs. Schenley for this
handsome and enduring remembrance of her
native place, It is proper to remember that
to the publicspirit and perseverance of Mr..
BigeIow, Chief of Public Works, coupled
with the interest shown by Mr.. Carnahan, is
largely due the consideration of the subject
and its fortunate result at this time. Mrs.
Schenley had long been disposed to give
Pittsburg substantial and generous proof of
her kindly interest in the future, as we'll as
in the past, of the town. Until Mr.. Bige-
lows time, however, no city official appeared
to grasp this large and liberal intent. To
the present Chief of Public Works and Mr..
Carnahan is SO palpably due the speedy real
ization of the gift, thai both gentlemen de-
serve to be most handsomely remembered by
Councils and by the public for their success
full mediation in this important matter.

WITHDRAWAL OF 10000 CHILDREN
From the Public Schools of Philadelphia
by SectarIaus.

PHILADELPHIA, November 4-In reference
TO a report that is being circulated that there
are a number of schools in this city in which
the divisions are so far behind the number Of
children required by the Board of Education
that the directors fear that they will
be dropped, Councilman Thomas Meehan,
who is Chairman of the Sub
Committee on Education of the Com
mittee on Municipal Government, said to a
reporter: 81 have visited every school in
seventeen wards choosing especially those in
which were reported gradual declines in school
attendance. The decline is chiefly owing not
so much to removal to outer wards as to the
the withdrawal altogether of children from the
public schools to go to private ones or institu-
tions managed by the Society OF Friends.
Protestant Episcopalian, Lutheran, Roman
Catholics or other denominations.
mot less than 40 900 children have been with
drawn from the public schools by reason OF
these denominational schools. The work OF
these bodies against the public schools is being
pursued with relentless vigor.
Not only is this religious element IN oppo-
sition to the public school system, but the
growing opportunity Of children for work at
much younger age than formerly leads 20
the abstraction of large numbers Instead
ending with the grammar schools.
as formerly large numbers now leave to be-
come cash boys or girls in large stores, dis
trict messenger boys in telegraph offices, girls
for paper-box factories assistants to dress
makers and numerous other similar employ
ments.
SIN some of the schools visited. scarcely any
children are now to be seen that were there a
few years ago. Only for the children Of COM
paratively recent immigrants, the decline
would be so great as to almost empty some
schools"

CONCERNING A NEW TRUST

The formation of Barbed Wire and Wire
Nail Trust is one of the reported future in
dustrial events, as will be seen in our local
columns Reports of this sort are so abun-
dant that the public will prefer to see the
organization completed before accepting the
new combination as a fact. But one or two
suggestions may be timely to those who are
thinking of organizing it.
The first is that unless the combination
will have some method of freezing out COM
petition the trust organization is not only
useless but dangerous to those who join it.
The present condition of the Cotton-seed oil p,
Sugar and Lead Trusts prove that fact. If
the proposed trust cannot prevent other con-
Germs from competing, it will compete with
them at a disadvantage If it succeeds in
raising the prices it offers premium for the
starting of new works. Unless in one form
or another the proposed combination can
forbid competition it will bring loss instead
of profit to its members.
On the other hand, if the control of pat
ents enables it to shut off competition, an
other very possible result looms up. The
concerns that are threatened with being frozen
out say that they will agitate among the
farmers of the West for repeal of the tariff
on wire rods; and it is a Well-known fact that
the temper ofthe West is very favorable to
agitation of that sort.
Are the wire manufacturers desirous of
supplying the strongest sort of ammunition
for a campaign of that sort?
