Times MouDt.ineer.


The tendency Of public opinion in
this country is towards species of
Socialism, not OF the anarchist kind
which levels with dynamite all pro-
t1berances OF wrong which may jnt
above the surface of humanity, but
one in which matters shall be made
nearly equal between man and man,
and each shall enjoy his full rights.
Not only the United States, but the
advanced countries Of Europe are
drifting in the same direction. Al
though stamping out with an iron heel
any attempt at Socialism by the com
mon people, Bismarck has on more
than one occasion introduced into the
ReIchstagg measures of reform which
have placed his subjects on higher
plane. But the paternalism of gov
eminent must be preserved, and the
liberty of the subject is of no consid-
Grafton, if his life is secure and his
property safe. In England, a great
deal of liberty is granted the citizens
in conjunction with many guarantees
of equality before the Law. Blot from
the British constitution the spots of
monarchy and nobility by birth, and
freer people exist nowhere. But
the dream of the Socialist is not only
equal rights and liberty for all, but
the government itself must possess no
superior powers. This part of their
creed can never be realized, for the
very order of things and the system
which combines and harmonizes the
whole demands that somewhere should
be lodged superior powers for pre-
serving the peace and protecting the
weak in the full enjoyment of their
rights and liberty. Even in our own
country, there must in the very me-
cessity of things, be some central
power from which shall emanate au-
thorities and judgments. The state
of society is such that government is
absolutely necessary, and we might
as well try to do away with laws
themselves as the power to enforce
them. The citizen or subject can on
" ask that the same rule of action
applied to him shall be applied to his
neighbor, and that for violation OF
precept no different punishment shall
be given him than is given his fellow.
This is the acme OF human rights, and
when these are guaranteed and en-
| forced, human wrongs and human op-
pressions will cease, and treasons and
rebellicns shall be things Ct the past.

john GARREcHr, who has been out
near Warrens, says almost the whole
country is on fire from Squaw creek
and Long valley to Warrens, and
also in the Welser country, and
smoke is so thick all along the route
as to obscure the sun, and make trav-
cling difficult, the density of the
smoke being like heavy fog, and
the range of vision limited to few
yards. The party had to pass through
one fire that was started by man
who had camped for dinner a few
hours before they came along. He
says most of the campers are so care
less and Indifferent as to 60 away
and leave their camp fires burning.

JoHs FsAxK, John Garrecht and

JoHS FRASK, John Garrecht and
WuI. Dodge returned yesterday from
their tip north to catch the Goddess
Fortuue,by the hind leg in the Three
Fingered Smith, Golden Fleece, fab
ulously auriferous, big nugget pro-
ducing, etc. placer camp thirty miles
east of Warrens. They shifted the
true inwardness of the fraud from
afar, and before reaching Warrens
wheeled their horses and started on
their return. John Garrecht says
the first crowd, thirty-eight in num-
Der, staked off that number OF claims
of FIVE acres each, numbered them on
slips of paper, shufiied the slips and
drew, each man expecting to draw a
prize claim. After the drawing each
man began to dig for gold in his
claim, and soon the auriferous reali-
zation compared with the imaginative
picture of wild and excited expectan-
cy, as to magnitude, like a gnat's eye
to imperial Mount Hood. The big
gest prospect obtained, and that on
ly in one hole, Three-Fingered
Smiths discovery hole, was two mi
croscopic coIors. This hole had been
'salted" by Ceur d'Alene men, who
had saloon outfit there and expect
ed to make a raise when the tide
rushed in. Smith got big prospects
as long as the ''salted' ground lasted.
The location of these alleged placers
is near the famous 'sYellow Pine
diggings that failed to "pan out."

THE CONFLICT OF CORPORATIONS.

The very interesting fight which is afoot
in Allegheny Councils between the rival
passenger railway lines, as to whether one
can debar another from rights of way, is at
tracing lively attention. The charge is
openly made that while the people of the
lower part Of Allegheny desire cable service
they cannot have it, because the interests Of
an opposition line might be effected. This,
of course, is the poorest of all reasons; but
it is of the sort that sometimes is potent.
Taken into account in connection with
the award of contracts for fire engines across
the river to the highest bidder, it might
provoke some pointed sarcasm on the pro-
tests which are occasionally heard from
Allegheny against consolidation with Pitts
burg. These invariably set up "ring rule"
and corrupt politics in the Pittsburg munic-
ipality as the cause of refusal. From recent
indications it might seem as if that sort OF
suggestion will SAVIOR hereafter of the pot
and kettle controversy.
However, in PIttsburg. as well as in ALLIE
gheny, the franchise question and the con-
flicts of rival corporations, show signs of
leading up to "merry war" in the near
future. The quantities of dividend-paying
water which is injected into the capitaliza-
ton of some of the companies has already
invited eager projects of competition, par
allel lines, and so forth. Some of the re-
Gently procured charters are for that pur-
pose. There will doubtless be cheerful
time ahead when the plans are fully devel-
oped.
Meanwhile it is hardship that the peo-
pie should have to wait for rapid transit in
any district of either city on these conflicts.
In Pittsburg, just as in Allegheny, there
are needed lines of road which would be
built and which the property owners would
welcome. but which are now kept back COM
pulsorily to wait the maturing of other
schemes with which they might interfere.
We will soon witness desperate struggle
to serve the dear people in all quarters for
the profit there is in it, against which the
existing lines will feel called upon to make
big fight to ''protect" their interests. So
valuable have franchises become in thirty
ing, populous cities like Pittsburg and AL
legheny, that the fight over the Councilmen
of the future will be fercer than anything
known in the past.

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
THE UNEXPECTED HAPPENS.

The strike of the coke workers in the
Connellsyille district bids fair to rival
preceding wages disputes in that industry,
for the incongruity and unexpectedness Of
its events. The strike of 1887 made re-
markable record in that way, but the
present one rivals it as far as it has got
The former strike, it will be remembered,
was due to the refusal of the men to accept
the verdict on an arbitration. 1t was
hardly thought that such strike ought to
or would succeed, but after 1t progressed to
a certain stage the Carnegie Interests con-
ceded an advance. By all precedents this
was a harbinger of victory; but after
continuance of the strike in the
other works the contrary was found
to be the case, and the men
gave up. This year the strike in large
share of the works is in violation of another
principle fully recognized by labor organi-
zation, namely adherence to scale signed
bv the representatives, of the men. Under
such circumstances the operators declared
that they could have no security even in
conceding an advance, and the public gen.
orally believed them. Yet within two
weeks the operators have been offering an
advance.
What other particulars may be developed
in which natural expectations will be re-
yersed are yet to be seen. But there is
ground for the opinion that, in wages dis
putes, both operators and employees in the
coke regions are decidedly uncertain quanti-
fies

CHERRYFIELD, ME-. August 6-About one
mile from the tannery at Beddington, thriv-
ing Washington county village, is a beautiful
sheet of water many acres in area, known as
""Chalk Pond" The name originated from the
queer chalky deposit which forms the bottom,
and for years the place has been pointed out to
visitors by the Inhabitants of the section as one
of the natural curiosities of that vicinity.
Through the instrumentality of Eben E. Church,
ton tannery. and Charles G. Mitchell, an
energetic Bangor man, company has been
formed to utilize this deposit which Is known
to the scientific world as silica and which is
the fossilized remains of millions of insects.
and when taken from the water resembles clay,
It dries quite rapidly. and when the water has
fully evaporated the color Of the substance
changes to white and It bears marked re-
semblance to magnesia. II is a perfect non
conductor Of heat and the best covering known
for steampipes and boilers, while its uses can
be multiplied.
A peculiar feature of the enterprise is that it
will meet with no competition in America, for
there is only one other deposit of the kind
known in the world, and that is in Germany.
The Cameron Silica Company, which has been
organized to work the deposit, has q capital of
$4,000, and is composed almost wholly of
pose to develop their property to great extent
this year, and are now preparing TO drain the
lake of much of its water and are forwarding
the materials for extensive buildings and q
large plant This years output of silica is ux-
pected to be 500 tons Next season they will
place several dredges at work and take the
deposit from the bottom. 1t is estimated that
the supply will not be exhausted for MANY
years. The pond Is many miles from any rali-
road, but steps have already been taken to
extend q line to it.

from their national gathering, il the rail-
roads do not give them an excursion rate
such as they can afford to pay. This is a
right which belongs to everyone; and as the
railroads took concerted action in their
refusal 10 grant the requested excursion rate,
the concerted action OF the members of the
Grand Army in staying away because the
rate was not granted, is little more than tit
for tat But as there are intimations that
the Grand Army as body will now pursue
q policy antagonistic to the railroads, it
seems necessary to remark that the order
should not permit itself or its members to
be swayed upon questions of public policy
merely by personal grudges.
THE DISPATCH has Ioag held the posi-
tion that there are measures of legislation
and regulation required to prevent actions
on the part of the railroads against the pub
lie interests. If the members of the Grand
Army of the Republic should take up that
question, solely for the public welfare, they
would be carrying out their reputation for
patriotism and disinterestedness, but If they
propose to antagonize the railroads merely
because they have not enjoyed the special
favors to which they considered themselves
entitled, they will put themselves in the po-
sition of trying to squeeze the railroads for
private revenge.
This is an attitude which a patriotic order
like the Grand Army cannot afford to take.
They should take care not to forget the diff
ference between acting on public questions
for the good of the public, and acting from
personal and selfish motives.

A HIGHLY coMPI1MENrED CANDIDATE.

1t is the good fortune of Major Montooth
that no matter how Old Time rolls on he is
still spoken of by the press of the State as
the popular young Republican" the
Handsome young Pittsburger," etc. While
paying deserved compliments to the Major
for his many estimable qualities, his youth
fulness is never forgotten. As matter of
fact a man who made an excellent record in
the war, and who has been for 25 years
prominent at the bar, would not ordinarily
be classed among the ''young" fellows, but
the Major is Of that cheerful, hearty dispo-
sition which never grows old. Whatever
his fortune in the political feld-and his
countless friends are making gallant prepa-
rations for him-he can at least congratu-
late himself on the personal enthusiasm
with which the announcement of his re-
newed candidacy has been received, even
thus early, in very many districts ofthe State.
He certainly would make dignifed, able
and immensely popular Governor.
Whether the honor is to come his way will
depend on the degree in which the political
powers that be feel disposed to recognize the
desirability of these qualifications in the
Chief Executive in preference to fealty to
faction.

QUITE NATURAL.

A New York court scandal, in which a
person who some years ago became notori-
Gus for making away with considerable
money trust, now appears as a iduciary
officer, in the court and as active in the pro-
duetion of bogus divorce for the benefit of
an influential politician, naturally creates
some sharp comment. The result, however,
is so natural considering the premises, that it
should not occasion any surprise. If a man
who has been notoriously unfaithful in
a private trust is put in position of public
trust no one has a right to consider it re-
markable if he follows out his custom of be-
trayal. The record of public affairs in New
York is not such that the public at large
need feel any surprise that people of this
sort are put in public positions. A city
which permits its Aldermen to sell public
franchises, at the rate of $4,000 for each
Alderman, and which elects District At
torney for the express purpose of preventing
convictions for that bribery, has no right to
get worked up over little matter like the
manufacture of bogus divorces by the regu-
lar officers of justice.

HE PROBABLY DOESN'T WANT IT.

The fondness of our esteemed and brilliant
cotemporary, the New York Sun, for en-
riching the terminology of politics with new
and astonishing words has heretofore been
one of its effective characteristics. It has
injected the term "Mugwump" into our
language, and has given a newspaper pro-
prietor in neighboring State more than
local fame under the title of "a hebetudin-
Gus crank" But there aIe cases when its
efforts in this direction require diagram or
glossary. Such an one is presented. when,
in connection with Senator Quay's alleged
Presidential ambition, it inquiries in its
headline "Would He Like Chaneg?" The
answer to the question will depend entirely
upon what "Chaneg" is. Senator Quay
is not the kind of politician who wishes to
grab everything that he hears OF, without
understanding its nature. He will under
take the disposition of Offices, in round lots;
but he takes care to know beforehand what
the offices are. The name "Chaneg" does
not sound very attractive. Unless 1t is a
new kind of fish we do not believe that a
statesman of such discriminating and care
full taste as our own Matthew Stanley,
would care for il.

THE RESULT OF CORNERS.

The report of Consul General Charlton n.
Way on the Russian cereal trade, gives Off
cial notice to the fact which has often been
referred to in these columns, that every
corner or combination to arti6cially raise
the price of wheat, has stimulated exports
from Russia to the consuming markets Of
Europe. Not one dollar is added to the
wealth of America by such juggling with
the great staples, but the trade has in every
such case been handed over to Russia or In
dia. A large share of Russia's wheat ex-
ports is shown to be due to the operations of
the Chicago gamblers.
This is the inevitable result of manipula-
tions in any staple. In staples like wheat
and petroleum, of which large amounts are
exported, the idea is a favorite one among
the cornerers and monopolists, that as for
eign consumers must pay the advance, this
country should approve rather than prohibit
the artificial enhancement of prices. But
the fact is that foreign consumers do not pay
the advance. In the grain trade the result is
that domestic producers lose the trade. In
petroleum the monopoly of the Stand
ard has enabled it to put the
price on exported petroleum lower
than the price which 1t makes the
people of the United States pay for their
light; and this reduced price, made to meet
foreign competition, has been speciously
cited as an evidence that the freedom of the
Standard from competition has not prevent
ed reduction Of prices.
The fact is that corners and com binations
are invariably at the expense of the public.
That does not trouble the manipulators at
all. They do not care whose money they
get, so they get it. But it is we'll that the
people should see the real effect of these arti.
fetal barriers to the transfer of products be-
tween consumers and producers.

WHAT THEY SHOULD DO.

The investigation which has been going
on into the Illinois coal strikes have pro-
duced a declaration from one of the men,
bers of the investigating body that "both
the miners and operators are in great
measure justified in their positions. At the
prices offered the latter they can only do
business at loss and at the prices offered
the former they cannot earn a living"
This is supposed to present an insuperabIe
dilemma; but it does not. II an industry
cannot obtain enough for its product to
afford its labor living prices, it has no right
to exist. If Illinois coal operators cannot
give the miners living, they should cease
production. Pennsylvania and Ohio mines,
while not paying royal wages, can certainly
pay enough to keep their men from starva-
ton, and in addition can pay the freight
charges for taking the coal West and selling
it in competition with Illinois coal. If,
with the advantage in the haul, Illinois
operators cannot give their miners some
thing better than starvation wages, they
should go out of business.
Some light upon the sincerity of this plea
is afforded by the fact that the interstate
agreement, putting wages on an equitable
basis as between the various districts, was
broken up because the Illinois operators in
sisted on squeezing their men lower than
the wages fixed by that compact.
