TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PITTsBURG, TUESDAY, JUNE is. 1889.
ESTIMATES OF LITTLE VALUE.

Tonight the returns will tell the fate of
prohibition in Pennsylvania. The Ants
are making pronounced claims of majorities
which range anywhere from 10000 to 15O.-
600 for the State, while the Prohibitionists
are smiling but silent. We are inclined TO
think that there was never an election at
which estimates were SO clearly worthless.
There is no previous vote on prohibition to
60 by-only general sort of feeling as to
the state of mind of the community. More
than that, there is no way to guess what
proportion Of the whole vote will go to the
polls.
But this uncertainty will make the cleo
ton all the more interesting. 1t will keep
the opposing sides busy to the last moment
bringing out their men. So far as the old
third party element and the liquor interests
are concerned, the feeling is intense; neither
of those two elements will leave undone
anything that might count. Yet it is the
general and less agitated public which will
furnish the material for majorities; and the
general public does not at all snow symp-
toms OF excitement.
By reason of confidence in the workings
of high license, the strongest arguments for
prohibition are SO diminished to many
minds that it is hardly to be doubted the
Ants would have majority on a full vote.
But full vote is just what cannot be ex-
pected. 1t is the proportion of the "stay-
aways" as much as of those who cast ballots
that will decide. Notwithstanding the pre-
tentious estimates which have been sub
mitted from many quarters, the guessers are
all in the dark. They may hit it, but are
lust as likely to miss it.

WoLsELEY,s WILD ALARM.

If ever there should be an international
exhibition of fools England will naturally
choose Lord Wolseley as a sure prize
winner.
The hero of the three victorious skirmishes
and several disastrous campaigns will not
permit the public's attention to be diverted
from him for day. He poses continually
as prodigious nincompoop, pasted with
placards announcing his enormous services
as soldier and his great ambition to be
considered statesman and an author.
His latest effort to achieve the highest
pinnacle of puerility is in the nature of a
solemn warning to his compatriots to
abandon their present military system and
to adopt that of Germany, on pain of having
to make the change under the pressure of
dire necessity. He sings ELUSIVE praise of
the European plan of conscription, and
compulsory military training for all men,
and says that the English people, by their
aversion to big standing armies and bar
rack education, are missing the choicest ad-
vantages of physical and moral training
that the present age affords.
1t has always been one of the strongest
evidences of England's good sense, as it has
undoubtedly been one OF the chief pillars Of
her prosperity, that she has persistently re-
sisted all efforts to induce her to follow the
example of the Continental powers in main
tanning an enormous standing army, which
would necessarily entail a recourse to the
conservative svstem The ADVANTAGES of
military training and of association of citi-
zens in masses under discipline are quite ap-
parent to us. They can be obtained partially
in the volunteer force of England and in the
national guards of this country. But to
sacrifice from three to ten years of each male
citizens life to training in barrack and field
duty is too high price, in our opinion, to
pay for these advantages. In commercial
country like England such a sacrifice would
be fatal. She is likely to laugh heartily at
her great toy soldiers wild alarm.

CORPORATION GOVERNMENT.

Considerable comment has been aroused
by the formation OF, corporation in Chica-
go, which, under the title of the American
Execution Company of the United States,
proposes to take charge of the work of kill
ing off criminals with neatness and dispatch.
The general impression seems to be that
this is novel and somewhat questionable
extension of the field of corporate enterprise
So far as the particular field is concerned,
the novelty of the enterprise is indisputa-
BILE; but in view of the fact that it under
takes work which is generally supposed to
be especially the province of government, it
is worth while to note that precedents for
the corporate assumption of governmental
functions are not entirely lacking. Busi-
ness and corporate agencies undertake police
work all over the United States. 1t might
be asserted, as simply carrying the logic OF
that enterprise to its legitimate conclusion,
that if corporations can detect and arrest
criminals, there is no reason why it should
not finish the job by killing them. Corporate
organization has been avowedly made among
the railroads for the purpose of enforcing
the interstate commerce law, and several
associations of railroads have published
their intention of establishing for themselves
a primary court, which will do away with
the necessity of the interference of the Com
mission and United States Court in cases of
violation of that law. In addition to that
there are numerous assertions to the effect
that the corporations actually, if not nomi-
nally, make the laws in various States. All
these corporate assumptions of the govern
mental duties of legislation and police
work, would seem to pave the way for the
final and perfect illustration of government
by corporations, in the case of a corporation
for hanging or otherwise getting rid of the
criminals who, by the corporate system, are
sentenced to death.
Most assuredly, if the corporations are to
make our laws, tax us, furnish our police
systems, and govern US throughout, there is
no reason why they should not kill us off
when we come under the operation of the
capital laws. But perhaps it would be bet
ter to wait and see whether the perfection of
corporate supremacy is to be successful be-
fore accepting its last and most signal as
sumption of governmental duties.

OUR WATER SUPPLY.

The analysis of river water furnished by
Prof Hugo Blanck and published in our
local columns, shows a proportion of I'M
welcome substances in the water which is
not absolutely injurious, but is so close to
the danger line as to warrant caution in Its
use for some time to come.
This analysis rather tends to show
foundation for the warnings of caution in
the use of the water than to prove that they
were unnecessary. While the proportions
of chlorine, ammonia and albuminoids are
not positively deleterious they have been
so largely increased over the normal
condition of the water as to indicate the
necessity of care in its use. Boiling and
filtering the water is not useless in its best
state, and when deleterious ingredients are
noticeably increased, it is wise to keep on
the safe side in the use of hydrant water for
drinking.
Probably the condition of the river water
is improving now that thorough work in
cleaning up has been done on the upper
streams. A week or two more of care In
its use, will be likely to give time for the
rivers above the city to be restored to an
even better condition than before the Hoods.

LESS GRATITUDE THAN DIPLOMACY.

The opinion OF the European press seems
to be unanimous to the effect that the United
States won a diplomatic victory in the
Samoan agreement. Although the opinion
to that effect is strongest among the English
press, whose Government has been consti-
tuted court of last resort in Samoan mat
ters, we may accept the assurance that our
na+ion has been comparatively successful in
this diplomatic venture.
But it is worth while to inquire whether
the success we have won is as creditable to
our nation as it might have been if we had
paid less attention to our own interests and
more to those who have some claim upon u.s.
When the report of that fearful storm
in which the United States and Ger
man vessels were driven upon the
reefs at Samoa reached this country,
and it was learned that the supporters of
Mataafa were active in rescuing the ship
wrecked sailors, there was universal recog-
milton Of the fact that the merest gratitude
TO the native chiefrain would require our
Government to secure him at least a fair
consideration of his rights in future negotia-
tions. But that, it seems, is just exactly
what has not been done. The Samoans are
left at liberty to choose their king, except
that Mataafa, the chief who rescued our
sailors and afforded them shelter, is barred
out as obnoxious to Germany. In other
words, while the United States has pro-
cured the restoration of Malietoa. who had
very slight claims upon our championship,
we have thrown overheard Mataafa, to
whose interest we were bound by all the
ties Of gratitude.
1t has been generally understood that the
moral qualities are unknown factors in
diplomacy, but it hardly seems creditable
to this country to discard the element of
ordinary gratitude so completely in the
Samoan negotiations.

THE LAWYERS PLAY DAY.

If anywhere the notion exists that law
yers are melancholy, sad-visaged men whose
only cheer is in narrs., prGcipes, #. fdS.,
fees and such things, look in upon the
jolly throng at Rock Point yesterday
would have quickly dispelled the fancy.
Though, as up in the Ligonier
Valley the year previous, Jupiter
Pluvius made yesterday several attempts
to- file demurrers to the picnic pro-
ceedings, this sort of opposition only
brought out more strongly the resources of
Allegheny county's practitioners, who en-
joyed themselves immensely. The annual
picnic is an excellent idea of the Bar Asso-
citation. Ordinarily the life of a busy law
yer in city like Pittsburg is so thoroughly
bound up in his books and cases, that he
may well esteem it a blessing whenever for
twenty-four hours together he can totally
forget both.

He Would Taste Every Cosmopolitan Dish

Paris is full of Orientials of every hue and
in every conceivable costume just now, writes

the boulevards and in the cafes, and occasion

tremendous turbans and gorgeous petticoats,
fash by in vehicles. adding additional bits of
bright color to this kaleidoscope city. The
red fez of the Turk and the pintai of the CHI
naman are as common on the boulevard as the
Panama hat which the Caucasian has taken
into wear owing to the heat.
Among the most original, however, of the
foreigners now in Paris must be mentioned a
Museovite magnate who has been in the exhi.
bition every day since its opening. and whose
special mania is to taste every cosmopolitan
dish that is prepared on or near the Champ de
Mars. He has eaten everything, including the
unsavory messes of the Annamites, and intends

THE PUBLIC NEED.

The growth of combinations to suppress
competition evokes from the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette the following terse
statement of the public interest:
The idea that monopoly is in the interest OF
the public is absurd. There is nothing in it.
1t means simply a tax upon the people. II
means a tax upon the necessaries of life. 1t
means burden upon the masses of the people
in the interest of combined capital. Let us
not fool about this. There is no time to fool
about 1t. We must elect men to State Legis-
latures and to Congress who will sit down upon
monopolies of all kinds and stand by the rights
of the people.
This only needs the addition that we
must also secure public officials who will
enforce such laws, to state the whole issue.
The fact is that while statutory penalties
for conspiracies to enhance the price of the
necessaries of life would aid the suppression

HON. GEORGE QUIGLEY TALKS
Of EnrIy DAYS In Pitrsburg. and Drops Into
Current Topics.


Current Topics.
rFRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT
PHILADELPHIA, June II. - Hon. George
Quigley. of Philadelphia, stood in the corridor
of the Girard House this morning, and talked
with Hon. William Marshall, of Allegheny,
about old times in Pittsburg. Mr.. Marshall is
on his way home from Atlantic City, where he
left Mrs. Marshall in the hope that her health
will be improved by the sea breezes. Mr..
Quigley in his boyhood lived on Fifth avenue
opposite the Masonic Temple, and one of his
playmates was Timothy O'Leary whose home
was on Smithfield street.
'"I remember when Joe Barker was elected
Mayor of Pittsburg" said Mr.. Quigley. HE
wanted to appoint the police force, and the City
Council thought that was its business. Barker
sent out his policemen after the Councils
officers and had them all brought before him.
He committed them to prison, except one man,
who looked like q miller. Here he said to
Go home to your wife and family; put want
these broadcloth fellows to understand that
Joe Barker is Mayor, and he's running this
said Mr.. Quigley damage suits were brought
them"
at seems we're not going to have a special
session." remarked Mr.. Marshall.
NO" responded Mr.. Quigley, who. by the
way is Democrat, but who fell to work criti-
cis1ng the Governor as freely as though he
were Republican. He talked no more Sc
verely, however. than have many Republican
members of the Legislature on the same sub
ject. He and Mr.. Marshall agreed that the
precedent the Governor establishes is a bad
one.
"The Governor" said Mr. Marshall, twill be
out of the office when the next Legislature, a
new one, will be asked to take action. The
Governor has no legal right to pledge the credit
OF the Commonwealth. That Is the business
of the Legislature.
Mr.. Quigley severely criticised the Govern
or's policy with regard to appropriation. "He
lnsulted every Pennsylvania" he said. ''by re-
fusing to let the Pennsylvania Reserves have
$4,000 for memorial hall at Gettysburg and
then he gives $4,000 to a Loyal Legion and
Grand Army library that exists only on paper.
Besides, he gives Sl00 600 to the State Agricul-
tural College, that does nobody any good. How
many practical farmers are graduated from
there? Why, If I had boy, and wanted him
to learn farming, do you suppose I'd put him
there? No, sir. I'd put him on a farm, Just as
I'd apprentice him to blacksmith if wanted
him to learn blacksmithing."
vt would be cheaper for the State" said Mr..
dents at Yale IT go back to the Legislature;
it. Its time they were stopped"
Mr.. Quigley says the prohibition vote in his
Legislative district will be very light. He has
been surprised to find that many persons he
supposed would vote for prohibition are on the
other side Mr.. Marshall thinks his Legisla-
tive District will be nearly stand off
