ceiyed his commission. Probably this
settled his belief for the time. Still he
moved in Jersey politics a good deal, and
this year the Republicans nominated him
for Governor. This was very embarrassing
of course to q man who had made up his
mind quite while before that he owed allie
glance to the Keystone State. But with
remarkable courage he looked the situation
In the face, and disabused himself of the
idea that he had ever been truly
divorced from New Jerseys soil.
He just argued himself out of his Pennsyl-
vania citizenship, and acknowledged his
conviction that he ought to vote and to be
voted for in New Jersey. To pin himself
down to this position he resigned his COM
mission in the Philadelphia city cavalry,
and a few days ago Adjutant-General Has
tings issued an order for the election of his
successor.
We sincerely sympathize. with any man
who does not know for certain of what
State he is a citizen, and all the more when
he is running for Governor. There are
few things every man should be allowed to
know beyond a peradyenture, and his
citizenship is one of them. From the ap-
pearance of things we should judge that
General Edward Burd Grubb is nearly as
likely to be elected Governor of Pennsvl-
vania as Governor of New Jersey this fall.

THE CITY AND ITS EMPLOYEES.

The question raised by the Chief of the
Department OF Public Safety with regard to
the employment of men on the fire and po-
lice forces, who are physically incapacitated
for the full discharge of their duty, is an
important one, and should command the
most earnest and impartial consideration of
Councils.
1t is plain that the city cannot maintain
on its rolls of active service men who are
unable to perform the duties for which they
are paid. The ordinance presented in this
connection seems to be in the line of an in
telligent reform; and if it should include a
provision against removals, except for cause,
would result in benefit to the public
service.
At the same time it seems clear that the
city is not without its duty to the men who
have become physically incapacitated in
the discharge of hazardous and hard public
work. The mere fact that policeman or
fireman is disabled from ordinary causes,
while he happens to hold public position.
does not constitute any claim; but when
member of either department is inca
pacitated by reason of his public duties, or
has grown old in long and faithful service,
a conscientious view of the public obliga-
tions would recognize the rightfulness of
doing something for him on his retirement.
We think that an ordinance providing a
modest system of partial pay for men who
have been disabled as a result of their
public duties, would receive the hearty ap-
proval of the fair-minded taxpayers.

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PITTsBURG, TUESDAY, OCT. /. 1883
AN oUTSPoKEN FINDING.

The presentment of the New York grand
jury with regard TO the Flack divorce
scandal, shows the outrageous character of
that public ofense, and presents the COM
pensatory fact that one body at least, con-
nected with the administration of justice, is
not to be influenced or intimidated from
speaking out boldly concerning it.
The presentment finds that there was a
heinous and criminal conspiracy to procure
a fraudulent divorce, in which various Off
GERS Of the court were clearly engaged. 1t
points out that the Judge in permitting the
conspiracy to 60 on without discovering and
arresting it, was either culpahly negligent
or criminally accessory to the perversion of
justice. The Judge is left to the action of
the Legislature; the lesser criminals are in
dicted. A point for the Pennsylvania
jurists to consider is presented in the fact
that the system in reference to divorce cases
similar to our own, affords an open gate for
improper actions.
1t remains to be seen whether the New
York Legislature has sufficient energy, and
the prosecuting officials OF New York City
sufficient independence, to make an exam
pie of all the persons connected with this
degradation of Justice, from the Judge
down.

THE LATEST CORNER.

The corner in the Liverpool cotton mar.
ket, which was terminated yesterday by the
sales of the speculator who has hitherto
held the greater part of the stock on the
market appears to have been tolerably sue
cessiul, and is a fair example of its class.
Like the trust, the corner is based on the
attempt to control so much of the stock on
the market, for the time being. as will per-
NIT the cornerer to exact high prices from
those whose necessities force them to pur-
chase. The corner is temporary and tran
sient trust, generally formed by combina-
tion and always operated for the sake of Sc
curing an artificial enhancement of prices.
Its transitory nature confines most of its di-
rect injury to the speculators who are bet
ting the other way, and makes it a less
abuse than the permanent exaction of ex-
cessive prices from consumers by means of
the trusts.
1t is also to be said with regard to corners
that, as frequently as not, they infict their
greatest penalties on those who get them up.
Harper's wheat corner, the Penn Bank
petroleum deal, and long list of other
corners back to the losing Black Friday
gamble of Fisk and.Gould, afford testimony
to the fact that the schemer who tries to
fleece his fellows is frequently shorn him.
self. Nevertheless, successes like those of
Steenstrand in cotton and Hutchinson in
wheat are constantly tempting emulation
on the part of those whose desire to gain
wealth overmasters both their caution and
their honesty.
Trusts and corners are alike prejudicial to
trade morals and obnoxious to the law. They
present no graver aspect than the fact that
the hope of wealth is sufficient to override
all the restraints which commercial moral
ity, and vigorous legal system should i'm
pose. 1t is an impeachment of the laws,
when privileged wealthy class is permitted
to ignore the principles of right in order to
turn legitimate business into pure gambling.

THE INCREASE OF FATIuRFs

The statistics of failures for the first nine
months of 1889 disclose rather uncom mfort-
able enlargement in the number of business
misfortunes, there being little over 1000
more than for the same period in 1888. The
gross liabilities show the more than CORES
ponding increase, from total of $50, 600, 900
for the first three quarters of last
year to a total of SOL, ,0O0, 900 so
far this year. These figures indicate the re-
suits of the unfavorable trade conditions
which have prevailed in many departments
up to q recent date; and also prove
that many firms were caught with their af-
fairs too much inflated to meet the strain
Of adverse times. Business is now improv-
ing in almost every quarter; and the in
crease of failures will probably be arrested.
But it will be wise to remember the lesson
Of these figures and to keep liabilities with
in the limits that will be safe under all con-
ditions Of trade.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-10-01
SINGULAR IGNORANCE.

The inability of very intelligent men to
perceive what they do not wish to see is
illustrated by the assertion of Mr.. Chauncey
NJ. Depew, with regard to the recent fatal
collision on his railroad, that he does not see
"how it is possible for any railroad to avoid
such an accident"
The accident, as Mr.. Depew and the news
paper reports agree, was caused by the
breaking down of the engine of the
first section of a through train,
while the second section was following at
high rate of speed, and therefore crashed
into the rear cars, before it could be stopped.
If Mr.. Depew does not see how such an acci-
dent as this could be prevented, 1t is only
because he has failed to study the pre-
cautionary systems in use upon the rival
railroad which is his chief rival. The
block system, which the Pennsylvania Rail-
road has used for many years, by which
one train is prevented from going on one
end of block until the train preceding it
has left the other end, renders such acci-
dents impossible. 1t singular testimony
to the efficiency of this system. as well as
an example of the way in which such pre-
cautions can be partially neglected, that the
Pennsylvania Railroad has been totally ex-
empt IRON the collisions caused by follow
ing train running into the one preceding it,
with the exception of the Twenty-eighth
street disaster in 1880. That was due to the
fact that the block system, then only COM
menced at Twenty-eighth street, and the
trains running through the yards from the
Union depot to that point were left to the
old system.
The inability of railroad managers to see
how casualties can be avoided, when the
means of doing so are in practical operation,
is sometimes shown even more singularly
than by Mr.. Depew. The Panhandle road,
allied as it is with the Pennsylvania Rail-
road, certainly should be informed as to the
block system. Yet rear-end collision
happily not fatal-occurred on that line
Yesterday, which could have been prevented
by the modern appliances.

A PUBLIC PROJECT

1t is good sign for Philadelphia that
her citizens are waking up to the necessity
of asserting the einterest of the city as whole
in favor of an enterprise like the Belt Line
Railroad. This project, which proposes to
establish railroad common to the use of,
and connecting all railroads with the
wharves of the city Is based on the most
impregnable grounds. The proposition is
to secure forever the use of the said Belt
Line Railroad and branches, by all rail-
roads connecting herewith upon equal
terms, without discrimination or favorit-
ISM" Such plan is for the interest of the
entire public, and can only be opposed by
those who have a selfish interest in the
maintenance of exclusive privileges in
transportation to and from the wharves.
The promise of such feature as this in
the old Marginal Railroad Of this city
gave it claim upon the public tolerance.
As that was defeated by the influence of the
Pennsylvania Railroad then, it is instruct
i've to notice that the same idea is now
pushing itself into prominence at the cita-
del of Pennsylvania Railroad influence, in
Philadelphia. When it triumphs as it
must. upon its merits, either there or else
where, twill be perceived that the principle
ofthe common use of railroad tracks within
great cities need not be confined to the
transfer from vessels to railways. 1t will
be seen that the burdening of streets BY
multitudinous tracks, where the common
use of one belt line would suffice, is blum
der hardly less in magnitude than crime;
that system of union depots for passenger
traffic, and common lines giving all roads
an equal access to manufactures or shipping
points, will at once secure the highest in
terests Of the public and develop the most
legitimate prosperity of the railroads.
These things will appear plainly enough
when the country gets beyond the hamper
ing influence of the theories of exclusive
privileges in railway transportation. When
few such reforms are put into practical
operation the wonder will be at the blind
ness which permitted the letters of an
sntiquated system to restrain us so long.

THE OLD soLpIERs GATHERING

The reunion of the Grand Army vet
erans, to-day, has had less preliminary
notice than usual, and it will probably be a
quiet gathering of the old soldiers, with
less of the crowds and parades that have
marked the same event in past years. How
ever this may be, Pittsburg will extend the
same warm greeting to the veterans, this
year, that she always has in store for them.
The display of flags and decorations may be
moderate, and the weather outlook is not
especially encouraging for the parade; but
the heart of Pittsburg has the same love
and admiration for the defenders of the
Union as in the day when there was always
an entertainment and a welcome for every
regiment that passed through the city. A
pleasant reunion and many more like it to
our old soldiersl

did not dismay, the Government officials, who
sought to accentuate their displeasure at the
persistence of the royal lady in disregarding
their wishes in insisting on her visit to her son.
The extent of the demonstration was 80 great
as to render the lack of courtesy on the part OF
the officials of the Government unnoticeable,
and to move the Queen to tears. The houses
along the principal streets, as well as the resi-
dences of the nobility and inhabitants of the
better classes were profusely and beautifully
decorated, and in all respects the demonstra-

The most notable exception to the rule OF
decoration of private residences was that of
Madam Christlch, wife of the late Serviau
Minister to Germany, and mistress of ex-King
Milan. This omission can be regarded by Ma
talie in no other light than as complimentary,
since 1t IS matter Of Servian court notoriety
that the ex-Queen took occasion to so publicly
evince her detestation of Madam Christich ana
her appreciation of the Kings lack of defense'
in bringing the woman into the presence of his
wife, that both were overwhelmed with confu-
sion.
1t is stated in official circles in Belgrade that
the young King, Alexander, has become
excessively Jealous of his mothers popularity,
but the courtesy shown to her by the Russian
Minister and others not over-friendly to the
present Government of Servia, will undoubted.

to resent the demonstration or to treat his
mother with any marked lack of flial atten-

-Four Biblical RomaEces From the Pens of
Noted Authors.
Next Sunday The DISPATCH will commence
the publication Of series of four Biblical
romances. The first will be entitled Joshua"
and is from the pen of Prof. Georg Ebers, one
Of the foremost novelists of the age, and
equally renowned as an Orentalist and Egypt
ologist. He discovered "Papyrus E. a hieratic
manual of Egyptian medicine which is known
as the "Ebers' Papyrus." The story opens in
the time of the plague, and the narrative of
the escape Of the Israelites from bondage in
Egypt, and their wanderings in the desert, has
furnished him with striking and suggestive
material.
Joshua" will run through ten numbers of
THE SUNDAY DISPATCH, and will be followed
by two romances, by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps,
assisted by her husband. Rev. Herbert d.
Ward. The first is novel of the time of
Christ, entitled, Come Forth" and the scene
of the second, which has not yet been named,
will deal with the events In which the Prophet
Daniel was central figure.
The series will conclude with romance BY
H. Rider Haggard, entitled Esther" which
will give this talented author an opportunity
for treating in his picturesque manner the bar
barrie pomp and magni6cence Of an ancient
Asiatic court
