ARATHER LARGE-s1zED REQUEST.

The proposal that the mills shall run by
night and stand idle by day, in order tc
avoid the inconvenience of gas shortage,
may be permissible simply to tide over a
temporary juncture of that sort. We under
stand the workmen of the mills to have ex-
pressed their willingness to accede to that
request on the condition that it shall be only
for few days. But they can hardly be
blamed for imposing that condition, or for
calling FOR some distinct gain for themselves
in recompense for the exchange of day WORK
for night work.
The day was made to work in and the
night to rest in. Industrial contingencies
may require this to be changed in excep-
tional cases; but when it is so, it is generally
recognized that the workman is entitled to
better pay. To call upon an entire industry
to reverse the order of nature, is something
that requires exceptional and temporary
circumstances to justify it.
No doubt as a temporary measure every
one will be ready to do all in his power to
help in the temporary measures. With
that public cooperation given, it hardly
need be said that the gas company will be
placed under obligations to adopt liberal
policy toward the public in return.

RARNUM IN BRITAIN.

When THE DIsPATCH's London CORES.
pondent announced last Sunday that P. T.
Barnum had been invited to lend the glories
in that city it dawned upon us that the great
Snowman was springing gigantic advertis-
ing scheme upon the world. Not that the
circus would be inappropriate in such a
connection, for in real interest and splendor
the wild beast dens, the gilt chariots and
overshadow the tawdry mockery of any
Lord Mayors show ever planned, but we
doubted the willingness of the Lord Mayor
to enter into competition with Phineas T.
Barnum. This doubt proves to have been
we'll founded. The Mayor-elect with
enormous gravity has told reporter that
he knows nothing OF Mr.. Barnum's inten-
tions and that the plans for the procession
have not been made yet.
But the great Barnum will get there just
the same, we need not fear. He may not be
able to excel His Worship's gold coach
with his fifty gilt chariots, or to overwhelm
the populace with his elephants and camels
before the turtle-fed Aldermen are out of
sight, but the circus will parade in state,
and the crowds that see it will get ten times
the worth of their money. If the Lord
Mayor of London were wise man he would
ask Mr.. Barnum to permit him to occupy a
seat upon the sacred white elephant or be-
side the lady beauty within the gold cockle-
shell, and postpone his own paltry show till
Americas greatest Snowman with his over
flowing cheek and stupendous circus were
across the Atlantic. But Mayors are not
wise men as rule, and Mr.. Barnum will
secure all the benefits of his Incompatible
parade for himself We envy the Lon
doners when we think of what they will see
in P. 7. B. tent next month.

Courts ruling. Decent people everywhere
will approve the decision which puts a
damper upon brutal, cruel and vulgar
sport.
But there are other visitors besides the
rough musicians of charivari that deserve
a dose of lead. The average prowling
German band is one, the Italian organ
grinder is another, the patent wringer
agent is another, and there is a host of
book, sewing machine, lightning rod and
insurance canvassers and peddlers of all
sorts. If it is lawful to shoot the man or
men who make the night hideous with horn
and COW bell will the Iowan judge decide
that one must spare the other pestiferous
nuisances? The shot gun is really the best

nuissnces the human race is heir to.

PITTsBURG. THURSDAY. OCT. 10, 1889
AFrELn FOR REFoRM.

The conviction of the defendants in the
conspiracy cases yesterday gives emphasi:
to what has been said in these columns
about the necessity of reform in the Alder.
mems courts wherever the conditions exist,
which seem to be present in this city.
The Judges charge with regard to the
practical levy of blackmail by means of the
machinery of justice, was put in language
which leaves little to be said. The ccnvic-
tions Of yesterday will, it is to be hoped, put
a stop to this sort of thing for the present.
But it must be recognized that. beyond the
necessity of sharp prosecutions whenever
such offenses are discovered, there is some
thing fatally defective in the system which
puts the administration of justice for the
masses in hands which permit such things,
either BY collusion or ignorance.
Even where there is no actual criminality
in connection with the idiosyneracies of
Aldermanic justice, they take shape which
calls for reform. The common understand
ing among lawyers that civil suits before
Aldermen are less likely to be decided by
their merits than by the interest Of the jus
tices in giving judgment for those who bring
business before them shows an abuse of long
standing. The remarkable fact just brought
out that city Alderman considered it within
his official power to commit young girl to
the care of an institution in another State.
is another example of the loose ideas pre-
vailing in these tribunals.
There is room for good deal of reform in
connection with the administration of our
laws. 1t may be well to commence at the
bottom with the Alderman's courts and re-
form mn

THE FIELD FOR THE FUTURE.

The experience of a Louisville manu-
facturer in obtaining in Pittsburg some
steel of particularly fine grade, which he
had sought for in the East without success,
is fattering to Pittsburg enterprise. But it
has a lesson beyond that, in showing the
importance of directing the efforts of our in
dustrial leaders into the field of furnishing
the best and most highly finished forms of
our great staples. The purpose for which
this steel was wanted-that of furnishing
the material for experimental and pecu-
liarly hardened armor plates-is but one ex-
ample of the almost illimitable scope of
new ideas in the higher forms of iron and
steel manufacture. We know what can be
done in the production of ordinary forms,
and in that field must meet strong competi-
tion on all sides. But Pittsburg has the
facilities for surprising in the production of
the best grades, and the possibilities of ex-
pansion are infinite. There is always room
at the top.

He has just completed tragedy, "The Judge

GoTTscHALK, the most gifted American
pianist, was born in New Orleans in 1923. His
father was an Englishman, his mother Creole
of noble descent. He played on the piano
when 8 years old, at he played the organ, gave
concerts at l8, studied in Paris at IL, where he
made successful debut at l6. From that
time his career was one of unalloyed brilliancy.
He spoke al! the modern languages, composed
beautiful music, played with grace and dash
rarely equaled and was, withal, polished gen.
tleman, and not a musical madman.
Mrs. MAcKEY, wife of the millionaire, is
very much interested in children and her char
tiles are often directed to their interests. An
other pleasant phase of Mrs. Mackey's charac-
ter is her willingness to assist any young
woman who is struggling for fame or fortune,
and many are the young girls to whom she has
gwen not only financial aid, but good, womanly
advice as well, taking an interest in them and
not making them feel her charity humiiating
burden. With all her peculiarities of tempera-
ment, Mrs. Mackey has some traits of charac-
ter which endear her greatly to those who
know her WELL She is stanch friend and very
sincere in both her likes and dislikes.
WILLIAM BLACK, like many of the present
English novelists, attributes all the villainous
slang which garnishes his books to the Ameri-
cans. They seem to think that they have fully
accounted for and apologized for vulgar
phrase when they attributed it to 'tthe Ameri-
cans" Mr.. Black, for instance, has this: "To
use an American phrase, mine distinct sorts of
a born fool;" and this: TN the words of the
American poet, he is commodious ass'o
Perhaps it would be rash to assert that no
American poet ever sang of "commodious
ass" but Mr.. Blacks acquaintance with the
poet apd the other persons who use or have
used these expressions must be much larger
than the mass of respectable Americans, if he
really knows of the existence of such per-
sonage.

THEATRICAL EVENTS AHEAD.

THIS morning at o'clock the sale of seats for
next weeks engagement Of the Rudolph Aron-
son Comic Opera Company, presenting their
most successful opera, "The Brigands," begins
at the Grand Opera House. The production of
this opera in this city will be in every way pre-
cisely the same as 1t was given at the Casino,
New York, for lbs performances, and four weeks
in Boston. The staging of 'The Brigands" is
undoubtedly the most gorgeous that has ever
been seen in this country. The presentation
has all the richness and completeness of en-
semble characteristics of this organization, and
far surpasses those famous productions of
'Erminie" and "Nadjy." The large number of
orders received in advance of the opening sale.
indicates quite an interest in the coming of this
attraction, which is the first operatic novelty of
the season. That "The Brigands" will have a.
successful opening in this city is already
assured. The cast includes Misses Lillian Rus
sell, Fanny Rice, Isabella Urquhart, Anna
O'Keefe, and Messrs. Fred Soloman, Geo. Olmi,
A. W. Tams, Henry Hallam, Max Lube, Rich.
Carroll, Henry Leoni and others.

the former rendition of the roles.

PRINCIPLE AND SPOILs.

A remarkable exposure of political incen-
tives, is made by an interview credited to
Mr.. Purcell, the New York Democrat, who
is famous principally for his lack of admira-
ton for Mr.. Cleveland. In support of his
claim that Cleveland is rot a good Demo-
crat, he makes the following statement con-
cerning Ex-Governor Hoadly:
Hoadly said that in the first Cleveland cam
paign he spent 5000 in money and gave six
weeks of his time, but could not get anything
for himself or friends after Cleveland was
elected. He was asked to contribute last year.
and to give four weeks of his tlme but would
not give dollar or spend day in the canvass
1t has been we'll known that the activity
of the lower order of politicians was inspired
solely by the expectation of advancement
for their personal fortunes. There was room
to suppose, however, that a man of Hoad-
ly's stamp would give time and money to the
support of the Democratic party, because he
believed in Democratic principles, just as
men of equal fortune and standing, on the
Republican side might be hoped to be in
huenced in their activity by their attach
ment to Republican principles. Men whose
party faith is matter of principle, should
certainly be sufficiently rewarded for their
efforts by the victory of the principles for
which they fight. If any man in the Demo-
cratic party could be expected to be Demo-
crat for the sake of Jefersonian tenets, it
would be Judge Hoadly.
Yet, if Purcell does not belle Hoadly,
principle is nothing to that eminent Demo-
crat. He works for Democratic success
when he hopes to get reward out of the
spoils. When he fails to "get anything for
himself or his friends" Democratic princi-
piles are not suficisntto induce him to "give
a dollar or spend a day in the canvass"
This statement of Judge Hoadly's attitude
credits him with regarding the party princi-
Piles, in the language of another Ohio
Democrat, as ga d-d barren ideality,"
and recognizing as the only real prize of
politics the ability to get his nose and both
fore-feet in the trough.
If Judge Hoadly permits this character
ization to stand it will warrant general
belief that there is no principle involved in
the present party strife; but that political
activity is nothing more than competition
as to who shall get the most out of it.
