TIE GOVERNOR MOVES.

The Pittsburg Relief Committee has at
last been driven both by the exhaustion of
its funds and the Governors inaction. to
notify that official that it can furnish no
more funds except for the relief of the
sufferers. This appears like rather extreme
action, but it is proved by the result to
have been the action needed to move the
chief Executive to something approaching
action.
The Governor, having first travelled to
Philadelphia to consult with Mayor Filter,
announces that he will go to Jobnstown to-
day. 1t is to be hoped that he viii see
enough there to warrant him in doing some
thing. So far, his achievements have con-
sisted in preventing contributions from
reaching the stricken city, without taking
the trouble to go there and see if they are
needed. After reaching the spot, as he
might have done week ago, it is to be
hoped that he will be able to perceive the
necessity of permitting the money of the
Eastern cities 10 reach the object to which
it was contributed, and calling the Legis-
lHture together to make the necessary ap-
preparations for sanitary work.
For the reputation both of the Governor
and of the State, it is desirable that he shall
not longer stand in the way of necessary
work

REFORM For REVENUE ONLY.

When it was announced the other day
that the New York Stock Exchange had re-
solved to abolish the ticker service The
DISPATCH predicted that the change would
not last long. 1t was hardly to be expected
that it would last only two days, but that is
the actual result. The Exchange found
that it was killing the speculation which
yielded its profits as much as it was hamper
ing the bucket shops; and, therefore, it was
quickly restored.
The fact that the whole effort issimply for
the purpose Of obtaining the exclusive profits
Of stock gambling. is shown by the announce
ment with reference to the restoration of
ticker service. The Gold and Stock Tele-
graph Company, or Jay Gould's concern,
will have a monopoly of the ticker service,
and the quotations to the brokers of the Ex-
change will be sent out few moments
before those to other concerns This means
that the Exchange, while pursuing its regu-
lar policy of building up monopolies for
Gould, is principally anxious to secure all
the profits that it can from the speculations
of the public upon the fluctuations of stocks.
This leaves the great moral purpose of the
Stock Exchange to abolish bucket shop
gambling in its true light Of an attempt to
abolish the gambling which does not yield
revenue to the Stock Exchange.

the midst Of group Of lions and tigers
which he has suhdued. Possibly the Presi-
dent has reduced the menagerie to order,
but when Plat, Allison, Alger, Sherman,
wauamaker, Edmunds, Evarts, Blaine and
Morton are represented as the animals
crouching at his feet, and covering at his
command, we can hardly blame those
statesmen for regarding this effort Of the
pictorial organ in anything but favorable
light
This sheet is supposed to be tolerably
near the President, both by political and
family connection; therefore, the intima-
tion that the President had reduced the ami
mails to discipline, assumes the aspect of an
official declaration. As to the question of
fact, there is room for good deal OF discus
sion. If we are not mistaken, there has
been 3 good deal Of snarling, If not yocifer-
Gus yelping. with regard to the distribution
Of the meat and bones of patronage. Even
ifthe facts were as represented, there is still
the question of good policy as to whether
the wild beast tanner who has reduced the
ferocious animals to good order, will preserve
his mastery by stirring them mp again.
1t would hardly be more natural if the
pictorial effort OF Judge should have the
effect of making the beasts get up on their
hind legs and of reducing the menagerie to
a new state OF anarchy.

PITTsBURG. SUNDAY, JUNE9. 1883.
A WEEKS WORK.

Yesterday ended the first weeks work for
the relief of Johnstown. As that has been
the main occupation Of Pittsburg, it is sat
isfactory that the retrospect shows that a
great deal has been accomplished.
A week ago to-day the first news from the
ruined town was published. The thirty-six
hours after the date Of the calamity had
been occupied in reaching there over a
country in which railroad tracks and bridges
were swept away, and even the country
roads flooded and made almost impossible
But, even with the uncertainty thus pre-
vailing, Pittsburg had 100000 worth of
money and supplies ready, and the task of
getting it there and rescuing the sufferers
from want was commenced.
The amount that has been accomplished
in weeks time is certainly encouraging.
All the living have been rescued, fed and
clothed. The injured have received medi-
cal treatment and the danger of famine
thoroughly guarded against Much has
been done in the way of clearing up the
town and preventing pestilence; and
although there is q great deal remaining 10

THE BEST DEFENSE.

With regard to the policy of fortifcation
against invasion by sea, Mr.. Labouchere
makes some remarks in the London Truth
which have the virtue of pertinence. ap-
piled to the United States. BE points out
that power which retains command of the
sea thus makes invasion of its ports impos-
sible. On the other hand, if that command
is lost, fOrtifcation will not save it from at
tack. "An enemy bent on invading En-
gland, says Mr.. Labouchere, "would not
steer to Portsmouth or Sandwich as landing
places, but one of those scores of unfortifed
harbors which exist on our coast" This is
equally true of the United States. To for
tify the whole coast is impossible. There
is much more to be done in the way of pro-
teeting the country by the construction of
frst-class fighting vessels. dynamite cruisers
and torpedo boats than there is BY building
forti6eations, which could be easily avoided
by the invaders. Our work is decidedly
more in the direction of constructing a first
class navy than in building useless and ex-
pensiye Notifications.

SECTIONAL PETTINEss.

There is a touch of decidedly small-sized
sectionalism in the comments of the Atlanta
Consultation upon the fact that lynch law
was resorted to at Johnstown to check the
depredations of corpse robbers. The Con-
stitettton utilizes this fact to assert that
Judge Lynch is not Southern product,
but that "his home is in the North, in the
God-fearing Commonwealth of Pennsyl-
vania."
The fact is that within the last half dozen
years, while there has been almost monthly
.lynching in the West aud South. there have
been exactly two cases of lynching in this
vicinity. One of them was the lynching at
Cumberland. Maryland, which is geograph-
eally Southern city, and the lynching

y and despieable murder. The other
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-06-09

was at Johnstown under circumstances Of
unprecedented character, when law in the
usual form was necessarily suspended, and
when there were no other means ofguarding
either the bodies OF the dead or the desti-
tute living from the most despicable Of rob
bers.
Even under those circumstances it has
already become apparent that this method
ofchecking crime is one that is almost GER
tain to produce abuses, and it has been
completely abandoned at Johnstown. With
out endeayoring to charge the evil Of lynch
ing upon any especial section, it is evident
that when people under ordinary circum-
stances cannot give efficient enforcement to
their regular laws, and prefer instead to re-
sort to mob law, they are little above the
lawless and unciyilized stage.
The journal that will take advantage of q
calamity, like that at Johnstown to import
sectional criticisms of the acts to which g
totally ruined community may resort in
desperation, presents remarkable. example
of the pettiness of sectional feeling.
