REPUBLICAN DEVICES DENOUNCED.

AsASA oDIhS3tA> 1)IA ISE4o JEINOuNSfLD.
The republican party Of this territory,
though always in u minority, have ever
sought to obtain ascendency by depriving
the people Of free and full election.
In this nature were the test oaths pro
posed BY republican leaders in early
days to disfranchise portions to the people
at the last session Of the legislature.
Although ostensibly framed to secure a
fair election it is ingeniously contrived to
practically disfranchise large numbers Of
our citizens residing in places remote
and difficult Of access.
We favor the enactment of such laws
as will secure pure elections and throw
all possible safeguards around the ballot
In towns and populous districts registra-
ton is a check against repeating and
fraud; but we submit that the present law
seems to have been framed to throw
every impediment in the way Of lawful

appearance in the field of another transcon-
tinental line, more direct than the first, and
fully equipped to compete with it.
1t is the fashion to represent these con-
solidations as the result of the abolition of
pooling by the interstate commerce law To
allege that the consolidation of connecting
lines, to increase facilities for through ship
ments, will serve the same function as the
combination of competing lines is simply to
becloud the whole subject. There is this
basis of truth in the representation
that pooling being an effort to prevent COM
petition, and the law having forbidden that,
the connecting lines are now forming these
combinations to enable them to compete
more successfully. So far as the present
combinations serve that purpose they are a
public benefit rather than an evil.
Nevertheless it is plain thar these immense
combinations are an outgrowth of the
system of exclusive privileges. If the idea
that railroad could discriminate in favor
OF one competing line and against another
were wholly abolished, the hope of gaining
especial advantages and controlling through
traffic by such agreements would be done
away with.

NOT BuRnENsnME TAXATION

The habit of crying out against the inter-
nal revenue taxes as odlous and oppressive
is growing to a degree which threatens to
land in Stiffness. The New York Sun calls
it ''the internal tax" and sets forth as a
startling fact that the United States have.
"since they elected Mr.. Cleveland, paid in
the odious form of excise taxes on domestic
products and industries more than six hun
dred millions of dollars" 1t might also be
added that of the several thousands of mill
ions of municipal, county, State and ma
tional taxation collected in that time, none
were paid more easily and with less OF an
effort for the taxpayers than exactly this tax
upon whisky and tobacco.
The tendency of the Sun to represent the
whisky and tobacco tax as odious is per-
haps less surprising than the disposition of
the Republicans to fall in with the same
idea. In this the protectionlst element
have evidently been confused by Mr..
Cleveland's rather muddled theory
that the way to abolish surplus
revenue is to make reduction

4 PLAIN LESSON.

There is important information in the
fact that block of buildings which COL
lapsed in Brooklyn the other day were, like
the Wiley building in this city composed
of good building material, according to the
declaration of the builder. That gentleman
declares: 'The constant rain kept the
bricks wet and prevented the mortar from
drying. No human effort could have pre-
vented the collapse" 1t does not occur to
this apologist, any more than il did in the
case here, that the collapse couA have been
prevented not by human efforh but by an
abstinence from. human effort in running
the walls in weather which did not permit
them to dry and bind. The mere statement
of this case is enough to show recklessness
in continuing to build walls which were
practically no more than loose bricks on top
of each other. Such lesson is not difficult
of application.

THE TROUBLE WITH THE SMOKE.

1t is little peculiar that various cities
should simultaneously have their at
tention directed anew to the old question
of securing perfect consumption of smoke
and SCOT. Perhaps the revival of the agita-
ton may be mainly ascribed to the season
when the number of fires in any city is null
tiplied; but it is, nevertheless, worth notic-
ing that the problem of burning all the fuel
and doing away with smoke has been newly
agitated of late in several places.
In London, where smoke and SCOT have
been chronic and unremitting, the question
has been brought up again by number of
her typical fogs. Chicago during the recent
weather has enjoyed mixture of fog and
smoke which one of the press of that modest
city profoundly claims as fully equal to
anything that London can produce. In the
English city remedial measures have gone
no further than to discuss some of the old
smoke consumers. Chicago is hoping for
natural gas. But to Pittsburgers the hope
of carrying gas hundred and fifty miles
and making it so far the fuel of city as to
abolish the smoke is peculiarly slight one.
1t can hardly have escaped notice that
during the past storms the Old Pittsburg
habit of filling the atmosphere with smoke
that made the clouds blacker and lower,
manifested itself. Whether it is the higher
cost of gas or the uncertainties of supply
that has lately been felt, there is evidently
more smoke now than for some seasons past.
There&s less excuse for Pittsburg in such
relapse than for almost any other city. For,
wholly apart from the question of the per-
manence of the natural gas supply, which is
far from settled adversely, our people have
had full opportunity to learn that even if
we have to burn coal or other fuel, the
cheapest, cleanest and best way is to convert
it into gas and distribute it through the
pipes which are already laid.
Of course if that is done the conditions
should be established which will make it
cheaper to burn manufactured gas than
coal. But with the economic fact as it is,
if the benefit of it cannot be secured to con-
sumers, our city deserves to relape into its
old vice of uncleanl1ness.

PITTsBUR3. SUNDAY, NOV. "a, 1889.
RELIEVING THE SUSPENSE.

Up to last night no official statement
had been made of the condition of the
affairs of the Lawrence Bank. No one
can read the reports of the incidents of the
suspension without being struck by the nu-
merous and evidently sincere expressions
from so many of the depositors as to their
faith in the integrity, regardless of errors of
judgment, of the President and the Cashier
of the bank. This is good sign, for such
opinions are seldom formed upon long ac-
quaintance and rarely expressed in the face
of disaster, as in this instance, excepting
upon we'll founded convictions. They draw
the line between mistakes of Judgment,
however serious in the direction of business,
and the diversion of funds to speculative
purposes, which have been the prolific cause
of SO many other bank failures.
But if the depositors show so much con-
sideration and patience in discussing the
affairs of the collapsed concern, this should
but make more urgent and evident the need
for an early and full statement from the oil
rectors of the bank as to its actual condition.
In fact, with the probability of suspension
clearly foreshsdowed for some time prior to
the actual closing, it would have been no
more than the situation called for if such a
statement had been made ready for publica-
tion when the doors were closed. Also, if the
cashier, whose absence occasioned so much
comment, has not yet returned, he should lose
no more time in putting in an appearance.
The duty of relieving the tension of mind
among the depositOrs rs too clear to be
evaded.
Tomorrow, doubtless, will see an official
statement of the condition of the bank. Un-
less the informal assurances of The officials
and directors are strangely inaccurate it will
show assets sufficient or nearly sufficient to
meet the demands of creditors That, any,
how, is the pith and substance of the prom
ises so far.

WILL MAKE ITS OWN RECORD.

1t is worth while to season the approval
of the act of the new Government of Brazil
in proclaiming universal suffrage, with a
little inquiry in the likelihood of the needed
result of stable and intelligent representa-
tive Government. There is wide differ
ence between enfranchising an intelligent
people capable of self-government, and Civ
ing the ballots to an ignorant and half-civil-
lied mass, capable of being used by demag-
ogues for the support of relationships and
juntas.
The United States has founded univer-
sal suffrage on the basis of intelligence and
general education among its people.
Where it has rested on that foundation it
has demonstrated its success. But there is
reason to doubt in certain parts of the
country, whether granting the franchise to
large masses of ignorant people, such as the
negroes in the South or the masses in our
large cities has been accompanied by the
best results. It is asserted that 80 per cent
of the people of Brazil can neither read nor
write; and large share of the Indians and
blacks are but imperfectly acquainted with
the fabric of civilized society. Will this
mass of ignorance be most available for
maintaining free government by law, or
for the uses of demagogues and dictators?
Of course it is necessary to recognize
the Government of Brazil; to hope that it
will make good its professions of popular
government But will it be able to restrain
elusive plaudits until its own course de-
monstrates whether it will be genuine
Republic or dictatorship in disguise;

END OF THE pARNELL COMMISSION.

The close of the proceedings before the
Parnell Commission has at last been
reached, after dragging YEARLY along for
months. The remaining question, what
sort Of a verdict the Commission will re-
turn, is one on which the public of both
continents will show little interest. The
real question at issue-the value of the
letters published by the Times as proof of
ParnelPs completely with crimes-Was
settled long ago by the confession that they
were forgeries. But persistent effort has
been made to break the force of that
reverse by dragging in all sorts of issues as
to Land League agitation; and the course of
the Commission in permitting that diversion
lends some ground to the expectation that
it will go as far as it can in twisting every
thing to the disadvantage of the Parnellites.
Even if it does so it will make no differ
ence. The evidence is what will settle the
question in the Judgment of the public, and
that leaves no doubt that the Times famous
articles on "Parnellism and Crime" have
proved fearful boomerang.

THE streak of good fortune to Pittsburg
in the way of handsome donations for public
purposes grows broader and brighter than pub
lie Imagination even dreamed of. Andrew Car
negie's promise of great library was the first
intimation of good things fortune held in store
for this town; yet before the Carnegie gift has
materialized, the Schenley Park and the great
Shoenberger donations come quick upon one
another to gladden. the community. Once the
fashion is set it may rapidly grow among those
mlllionaires whose fortunes are more or less
identified with the town. Certainly such gifts
encourage others. The Shoenberger Hospital
will evidently be a grand institution, fit to
adorn the greatest city in the land. Pittsburg
will wear her gifts modestly, but gratefully,
and henceforward hopeful of many becoming
additions to them.

of tariff duties. The Republicans
have followed into the same mistake of sup
posing that internal revenue taxes must be
abolished in order to prevent reduction in
the tariff. Both sides are painfully wrong
headed in the matter. If all the internal
revenue taxes were abolished it would be
necessary to increase the revenue from
duties. But it is as well established as any
thug can be that to increase the revenue
from tariff duties the rate levied must be re-
duced from the protectionist level.
The Republican mistake on this poi mt is
the more remarkable because, if there was
any one point of fiscal policy to which the
Republican party has been most thoroughly
pledged, it was the correctness and equity
of the taxes on whisky and tobacco. 1t was
proved, time and again, by the leading Re-
publlcans that these taxes as whole were
levied on luxuries and extravagances; that
40 one need pay them unless he wished to,
and that whoever did pay them would not
feel the amount of tax levied on the price
of his drinks or cigars. 1t may be remem-
bered that Senator Sherman fought State
campaign on that point in Ohio and won it.
There are, of course, such exceptions to
the rule as alcohol used in the arts, on which
the tax might be remitted. But the Re-
publican party can hardly atf9d to go back
on its record by abolishing all taxation on
whisky and tobacco. There are import
duties which can be removed without de.
stroying the protective features of the tariff.
There is much significance in the declara-
ton of the Farmers Alliance, of Illinois,
against the repeal of taxation on tobacco and
LIQUORS,
