EXECUTIONS MUST BE PUBLIC.

New York State is having considerable
trouble over the enforcement of its electric
execution law, and before murderer is ex-
ecuted under its provisions ITS constitutional
ity is to be examined in the courts. The
law seems to have been drawn very care
lessly. There is no doubt about the uncon-
stitutionality of the section of the law
which says: 'No account of any details of
any such execution beyond the statement of
the fact that such convict was on the day in
question duly executed according to law at
the prison shall be published in any news
paper.
This point is not the one on which the
appeal on behalf of Kemmler, convicted
murderer has been made. Kemmler's coun-
sci hope to save their client on the plea that
death by electricity is one of those punish
ments prohibited by the Constitution as un-
usual and cruel. All the same the clause
making or aimed to make executions by cleo
trieity secret is so ridiculous, and, if possi-
bility of its enforcement existed, so harmful
that it viii surely be excised from the law
at the next meeting Of the Legislature.
II is fact, doubtless, that the printing of
the nauseous details of an execution serves
no good purpose; but infinitely more harm
would be done by the exclusion of all re-

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PITTsBURG. SATURDAY, JUNE Is, 1882
TRANSMITTED FEATURES.

The deliberatlon which marked the
the relief of Johnstown, appears to be re-
produced with some of its typical features
in the action of the commission which he
has instituted. Promptness is not so vital
necessity now as it was two weeks ago, and
therefore we may take a philosophical in
terest in observing this example of trans
mitted qualities.
1t took the Governor The best part of
week to find out that there had been any
catastrophe. Then, in view of the fact that
others had been before him at Johnstown,
he made display over the fact that he had
got supplies to Williamsport, which city
had lost good deal of lumber and 215 per
cent Of the mortality at Johnstown. The
second week was occupied in getting up his
loan scheme, which, palpably unconstitu-
tional on its face, was rejected. as shown by
a dispatch elsewhere, the moment it was
presented to the man who is responsible for
the State funds.
Having got an acceptable substitute for
the loan idea, the Governor organizes his
commission to take charge of the relief
work, The Pittsburg members of it were
notified of their appointment yesterday, but
the commission, we are informed, has de
cided to put itself in motion on Monday
next 1t is going to copy the Governors
plan of going to Williamsport first, where
the losses in comparison to those at Johns
town are as a flea bite, and the Johnstown
sufferers can rest in the hope that the COM
mission will reach that place three or four
weeks after the date of the calamity.
In the meantime Pittsburg can continue
Its work of supplying the stricken valley
and getting the cold shoulder from the Off
cial world for doing so. 1t is fortunate there
was some one to take hold of the relief work
f., promptly, without waiting for red tape,
consultations and visits, so that supplies
were started on the road to Johnstown be-
fore any one had reached the place from
tie outside world.

THE STRONGEST QUALIFICATION.

The selection OF Calvin S. Brice, for
Chairman of the National Democratic Com
mittee, after the large number of other
names that were suggested for it, proves
that the qualification which is regarded as
most essential in practical politics on the
Republican side, holds an equal supremacy
among the Democrats The Democratic
choice in this case is evidently based upon
the hope that Mr.. Brice's experience will
make him less liable to chase rainbows, but
will place at the disposition of the Demo-
cratic managers the pot of gold which the
fable of nursery lore locates at the end of
the rainbow.
In other words, Mr.. Brice's qualification
to take charge of the Democratic campaign,
consists in his ability to draw very large
check. gained by career Of railroad manip-
ulation and stock watering. For a party
which processes antagonism to corporate
abuses and the prominence of egregious
wealth in politics, the Democratic organiza-
tion shows a rather singular affection for
men of the Scott, Brice and Tilden stamp.
Big bank accounts and the power to secure
them through corporate iugglery are about
as potent in one political organization as
another,

DUE TO HARD PAN PRICES,

The trade reports show an improvement
in the iron and steel trade, and a growing
confidence in the situation, This is accom-
panied by larger railway demand for steel
rails and iron; but it is comfortable feature
of the situation that the iron trade is now
independent of the railway demand, which,
by its increase or diminution, used to make
the difference between activity and de-
preston. There has been such an expansion
in the uses of iron that for the last two
years, while railroad construction has been
materially curtailed, the output of iron has
been very large. 1t is notable that this
growth in the application of iron to new
uses has been in an era of low prices To-
gether with the consideration that these
hard pan prices have preserved the iron
trade from anything like panic, the way in
which they have also encouraged the devel-
opment of new fields for that staple ought
to be full of instruction for the iron interest.

The PrePognfiyes of Mayors Discussed by
One Well Posted.
To the Editor ofThe Dispatch:
1t seems to the writer that there was great
oversight at the meeting at City Hall, called by
he Mayor for the relief of the Johnstown suf-
ferers, on June i. The Mayors of Pittsburg
and Allegheny were ignored all through. The
Mayor of Pittsburg should have been put at
the head and front in respect to his position as
the representative Of the people. He should
have been Chairman of the Executive Commit
tee, with the Mayor of Allegheny City Vice
Chairman.
Had this been done, Mayor Grant, of New
York, in all probability would have sent the
money collected by him to Mayor William Nc
Calm and not to Governor Beaver. Keeping
the Mayors of Pittsburg and Allegheny City in
the background was slight not to Mayor Nc
Calm and Mayor Pearson alone, but to their
fellow citizens who elected them
Mayor McCallin, of Pittsburg, is a respect
able, responsible man, who has been honored
by Pittsburg and Allegheny county. Coroner
of the county many years ago, afterward its
Treasurer and quite lately its Sheriff, and now
Mayor of Pittsburg. A man like Mayor Mccall.
lin, who has thus been honored by the people
of his native city and county, is certainly en-
titled to more respect than was shown to him
by the Executive Committee for the Johnstown
sufferers
We make no reflection on the committee.
They are first-class men, and have worked hard
for the relief. Yet there is a prerogative be-
longing to the Mayor, which he is entitled to,
and if respectable man as Mayor McCallin
the people delight to see him honored before
the whole country.
The Mayor of great city, at the head of its
affairs. always commands more attention from
the dignitaries of other cities than a commit
tee without him. Had the Mayor of Pittsburg
been head of the Executive Committee Cover
nor Beaver would have known that Pittsburg
had rights which must be respected. as we'll as

TIE BRAVE REPORTERS.
The Service They Performed for the World
in Getting Flood News.

The Service They Performed for the World
in Getting Flood News.
From the New York Graphic.i
The value of the modern press service has
been nowhere SO strongly emphasized in late
years as in the tragedy of the Conemaugh Val
ley Looking backward half century and
conceiving, if possible, the occurrence of such
a disaster, when the stage coach was the prin-
cipal means of communication with the eoun-
try it can be readily understood that the hor-
rors of Johnstown would have remained almost
unknown and unmitigated for weeks and
months. Tho country would have been slow to
rouse itselfto knowledge of the emergency of
required relief. and the untold horrors would
thereby have been increased ten-fold.
The telegraph has brought every part of the
country and of the civilized globe into close
contact. The transmission OF intelligence has
become as rapid as the lightning itself and the
press is the reflection of this intelligence,
Newspaper men were the first to risk their
lives on the slender rope over the COnemaugh
by which communication was established with
the ruined town. Correspondents for the great
papers pictured the scenes in such graphic pen
portraiture that almost before the naddened
waters had subsidized the great heart of mighty
nation had been touched with sympathy and
pocketbooks and check books made quick re-
Spouse to the cry for help and succor.
The correspondents who went to Johnstown
have not had an easy task. Indeed, many of
as much as the citizens themselves. But they
were sustained by the knowledge that they
were performing great duty TO a stricken
people and the public at large. These earnest
workers of the press deserve hearty commenda-
ton of the people of the country. They have
shown not only their own merit, but the power
and force of the profession which they dignity
and make great.

THE OBNOXIOUS STORE ORDER,

The "store-order'' system of paying
miners has always been thorn in the side
of that class of labor. 1t is not surprising
that they back up the strike on which they
enter to-day by strong appeal to the pub
lie, and that some of the employers who do
not unite trading with mining are ready to
join them. As in speaking of the efforts oil
the Amalgamated Association to have the
Eastern and Western wages made the same,
THE DISPATCH in respect to the sgitation
against the ''store-order" system must recog-
nize that the miners move is entitled to the
consideration which is due to an effort TO
secure equal terms for all employers. The
man who pays in cash for his work is GER
tainly at disadvantage compared with him
who pays in clothes or groceries on which
there is greater or less profit
OF course the public will hear of the
''liberty OF contract" and all that upon the
other side-but whether considered from the
standpoint of labor organizations, or of the
interests of those operators who do not run
stores-the strike is one which cannot be re-
garded as improvldent or without cause.
The mining industry has been reduced to
far from its old-time prosperous condition,
both for operators and hands. 1t is made
tolerably plain that store-order payments
have played an efficient part in this by
enabling the store owner to sell coal at a
rate to shut out the operator who paid cash
for mining; they, in turn, compelling the
latter to ask reduction after reduction of
wages.
The strike will by no means solve the DIFF
fculty of dullness in the market; but if the
"store order" is abolished, and capital in
different hands can operate on equal terms,
it is clear at least that one prolific cause of
bitter and perennial dispute will be re-
moved.

In the death of William Semple, the
community loses one of its representative
business men. As merchant he won sig
nal success under such conditions as con-
clusively showed his ability. One of the
first Of our local business men to grasp to
the full the value of advertising extern
sively and always, Mr.. Semple not only
used printers ink effectively in making his
own large fortune, but taught others Its
vast Importance. The quick apprehension
which he showed in this particular was not
less displayed in other respects. The mer-
camille prosperity of Pittsburg, and more
particularly yet of Allegheny, owes great
deal to the individual force and to the ex-
ample of William Semple.

the Presidents assertion in his letter of ac-

TO that effect finds concrete expression in
their action on the appointment Of post
master at Huntsville, Ala. The postoffice
there was held by lady who was appointed
on the 9th of last January. When it was re-
ported that she was to be removed in favor
of leading Republican politician. the peo-
pie of the town, both Republicans and
Democrats, united in petition to the Presi-
dent that she should be retained in Office for
the full term indicated by the date of her
commission. This petition, which was in-
dorsed by the Republican newspaper of the
town, set forth her efficiency and careful
discharge of the duties of the Office. The
Postofice Department, however, called for
her resignation, first on the alleged grounds
of unfitness to discharge the duties, and

sentence of Captain George A. Armes, who

trict of Columbia for the period of five
years. A large sized army of Office holders

TO KEEP STAMPS FROM STICKING.
A Novel Method Adopted by a Woman of n
Scientific Turn.

I saw nice-looking woman buy so cents
worth of stamps last week, says New York
reporter, and after she got them she opened
them out, and deliberately rubbed the backs
of them over her back hair. Regarded with
Unsuitable curiosity this ceremony, and when
the other woman with her also looked as
founded, and said:
What on earth are you doing?
listened for the reply. 1t was:
"Oh, if you do that your stamps won't ever
stick together. There is oil enough on your
hair always to keep them from getting in
the tight wad to which they incline in hot
weather."
"And suppose" said number two, sarcasti-
cally, that it keeps them from sticking to
your letters too, and they are shipped off on
all sides to the Dead Letter Office because the
stamps have dropped Off"
u haven't lost letter IN ten years nor
stamp either; the stamps won't come off; there
isn't oil enough to keep them from sticking
when you wet them, unless you are q dirty
thing and put pomatum on it"
Thinking that personalities were now likely
to triumph over science in this conversation I
ceased to follow it, but I've since been testing
the hair-rubbing business as preventive of
stamp sticking and find it works perfectly. 1t
is little embarrassing to go through tbe opera
ton in the teeth of grinning postoffice officials
and staring drug clerks, and once when l
bought them from pretty cashier omitted it,
and IA out Of the 20 stamps stuck together.
