AVTCTTM OF THE CIRCUs.

1t has never seemed to US strikingly be-
coming, or finally advantageous, for authors
of genuine ability to fritter away their time
and their strength upon the lecture stage
1t is said that James Whitcomb Riley is not
doing much writing now. He said the other
dav to a Kansas City reporter: "When this
engagement is over want to hunt some big
lonely grave, crawl into it, and pull the
green covering over me for dead earnest
rest"
Everybody hopes that the Hoosier poet
will not be conducted to the haven be sug-
gests by the undertaken. But he certainly
eniorces by his melancholy plant our con-
tention that lecturing at one night stands
over the broad face of this country is not a
healthy practice. Nor is ii, in the case of a
genius like Mr.. Riley, at all necessary that
he should make circus of himself. Before
he obtained the recognition of the public
he might have taken to lecturing, as it is
termed, to pay for his bread and butter
But he is known everywhere now; his work
is admired universally, and there is keen
demand for more of his delicious lyrics.
The supply will not be forthcoming because
Mr.. Riley is tagged out after his lecture
tour with Mr.. Bill Nye. Therefore we are
sorrowful.
Perhaps Mr.. Riley will abandon the cir
Gus business and resume his pursuit of the
muse. Then everybody, the muse included,
Will be happy.

THE CONVINCING ARGUMENT.

1t is interesting to find that the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad and PIttsburg and Western
officials, who a few weeks ago withdrew
through rates to Mississippi points, on
account of a pretended fear of the Inter
State Commerce law, have been convinced
of their error by the cogent argument that
their roads were carrying all the freight for
those points. After a few weeks of letting
the other fellows do the business, they have
concluded that they are not as much afraid
of arrest as they were.
We find it difficult to believe that there
was ever any such genuine fear. II is true
that we have had an explanation that the
real difficulty was not, as stated to the re-
porters, that absurd idea about the long
and-short-haul clause; but the difficulty in
making through rates on account of the
change in classification which the freight
undergoes on crossing the Mississippi. But
that difficulty is not insuperable, the very
fact that they can make through rates shows
that it is possible to publish and post them
as they are made; and if the rates are open
to all as published, no one need fear prose-
cution
The incident is however, very useful as
showing what a convincing argument it is
to railroad officials when they meet a COM
petition which takes the business away from
them unless they make fair rates.

NO HuMRuG WANTED.

The report from Harrisburg that the
legislative managers propose to throw a
sop to the demand for anti-discrimination
legislation, by resuscitating the Williams
bill which was killed off early in the
session, is only another evidence of failure
to appreciate the gravity of the public
demand. 1t is bad enough to ignore the
needs and wishes of the people; but it
would be worse to juggle with the subject
by passing a bill which would hold out no
hope of relief and would only seize the op-
portunity to create several well-paid Offices.
The Williams bill simply proposes to
create commission, with salaries of 81, 900
for the chairman, $500 for the other
two members of the commission, and s., 900
for the secretary. People can make COM
plants to the commission if they like, and
the commission can pass upon the COM
plants if they see ft Beyond that, if
it suits the railroads, they can conform to
the findings of the commission. If it does
not suit the railroads ''to obey any lawful
order or requirement of the commission"
the matter shall be certified to the Attorney
OeueTals W GdAe suCn proceeulHSs eASIOVA
as he may deem expedient."
Here is the utter futility of the proposed
bill. Without legislation directing and
authorizing proceedings by the Attorney
General, of course he can and will take no
proceedings. The bill keeps further away
from even a shadow of remedy than the
"caucus bill'' of 1887, the hollowness of
which was so thoroughly exposed at that
time that no attempt was made to pass it.
If it contained any provision for proceed
ings in equity to compel the railroads to
obey the orders of the Commission, its
promise of amelioration would depend en-
tirely on the character of the Commissioners
who would be appointed. As it is, the char
acter of the commissioners would be of little
Importance, because their rulings would not
be worth the paper on which they were
written.
The managers of the Legislature should
understand that the demand of the pub
lie is for something more cogent than
the creation of four new sinecures with sala-
ries ranging from $1,000 to 81, 900 per year.

THE OVERHEAD WIRES GOING.

New York underwent yesterday the
unique and unprecedented experience, for
that city, of witnessing demonstration in
her streets that there was higher authority
than the fat of a great corporation. This
consisted of gangs of men under the orders
of the city chopping down and remov-
ing the poles and wires from the principal
avenues.
Under ordinary circumstances the de-
struction of wires and the interruption of
telegraphic business would seem like very
harsh method of enforcing the public rights.
But in New York. if the electric companies
undergo any loss, they have no one to
blame but themselves. They have fought
the law for years, first by securing repre-
sentation on the board established for its
enforcement who worked to make it a
nullity; next by setting up the absurd
claim of'ownership in the public streets;
and from first to last by keeping up their
poles and wires in defiance of the law.
When they thus practically set up their
will as superior to the law, the accompani-
ment of their defeat with heavy loss,
which they might have saved by obedience,
will be rather salutary than otherwise.
The removal of the poles and wires from
the New York streets will work a great re-
form in the appearance and safety of the
city. But that is not the most important as
pect of the work which was commenced yes
terday by chopping down the poles. The
greatest importance is in the fact that after
a struggle of years between statute law and
the great corporations, the law has proved
victorious. 1t is a severe commentary on
the corporate tendency of the age that it
took years to assert the supremacy of the
law over its own creatures; but it is a much
better outcome than to have the assertion
the other way, as has been done in some
other fights.
The work in New York naturally suggests
the wonder whether the day will ever come
in which our city officials will get to the
point of chopping down telegraph poles. At
present their labors are more in the direc-
tion of authorizing the erection of more and
bigger poles than ever.

native followers of Mataafa by his orders
and of their own free will did their best Ito
succor the German sailors, as we'll as the
Americans. Their aid was valuable. Many
Germans and still more Americans owe
their lives to the natives. The latter in saw
ing lives risked their own.
The instructive charity and nobility Of
these Observation-Disclosures ought not to be for
gotten when America, England and Germany
are discussing Samoa's future at Berlin. If
Germany, tied to the unbending bars of
Bismarck's policy, finds it convenient to
forget or ignore the services of the Samoans
to the shipwreeked sailors, America surely
mas no excuse for following her example.
There is now debt of gratitude which this
country owes to Samoa, and which cannot
be better discharged than by helping the
islanders to preserve their liberty and indie
pendence. Samoa is likely to lose these
inestimable rights unless the United States
stands up for her. Justice and honor de-
mand that we should pay our debts without

A GOOD RECORD.

The immense magnitude attained by the
consolidation of plate glass works at Ford
City, Creighton and Tarentum, and the
growth of that industry, set forth in local
article, are very interesting. Only eight
years ago the first plate glass establishment
of this vicinity was started, and now the
industry there has grown to comprise
s., 750, OOO capital, forty acres of works. with
an annual capacity of 100000 square feet
of glass. The continuous operation of these
and the New Albany works, started six
years earlier, has reduced the price of plate
glass to 40 per cent of its old figure; and
the foreign establishments which formerly
controlled the market now do not sell half
their former output. This is a splendid
record for home industry and natural gas.
1t is hard to see how it can be beaten.

nnnGING THE LAW.

The latest move in connection with the
Sugar Trust proves the desperation with
which that class of monopoly overrides con-
siderations alike of law and the public well
fare. 1t is reported that to avoid the effect
OF the decision of Judge Barrett in the case
of the North River Sugar Refining Com
pany, all the trust refneries have been as
signed to the managers of the trust. This
is supposed to defeat the suits by which the
refneries would be placed in the hands OF
receivers; but it would be very weak sys-
TEN of equity which could not open up and
vacate assignments of that palpably fraudu-
lent character. Such ruse simply changes
the form of the trusts, which have already
been declared illegal and contrary to public
policy. But the obvious determination Of
the trust schemers to evade rather than
obey the law, indicates that they will only
be brought to terms when we get law and
stamina enough to put them in the peniten-
tiarv
