PITTsBURG, TUESDAY, SEP. 8, 1859.
HAPPY RETURN,

The story of the welcome OF Malietoa
back to Samoa, as told by our dispatches,
gives an interesting account OF what may be
hoped to be the termination of one
international dispute. So far as
can be judged, the state of affairs
on the islands leave no excuse for
foreign interference with their government
The Joy with which Malietoa was received
by his former subjects, and the good will
with which the positions of the former King
and the present one, Mataafa, were adjusted,
is the best answer to all arguments justify
ing the acts of Germany in taking the for
mer prisoner and making war upon the lat
ter. The peaceable and yet enthusiastic
display of affection for their leaders by the
Samoans, makes the restoration of the old
state of affairs pleasant augury for the
termination of the long-standing difficulty.
1t is certainly to be hoped that the civil
ized powers will have enough Christianity
to abstain in future from pulling down and
setting up kings, and provoking civil wars
among those simple and kindly sayages.

MISUNDERSTANDING AS TO GAS,

The recent declaration of Mr.. Daniel
O'Day, President of the Buffalo Natural
Gas Fuel Company, to the effect that his
company could not supply gas to Buffalo as
cheaply as coal, accompanied by the correl-
atiVe statement that even in Pittsburg the
gas companies cannot compete with coal, is
arousing from certain contemporaries the
old-time comment that natural gas is a fail
ure.
But the fact is that Mr.. O'Day's assertion
is conspieuously incorrect, so far as it ap-
plies to Pittsburg. At Buffalo, where the
supply has to be taken through 81 miles of
pipe line, it is possible that the expense and
loss of pressure makes the gas more costly
in the first instance than COAL At Pitts
burg the natural gas companies have been
able to supply gas with profit in competi-
tion with coal, and make money on largely
inflated stock. Even their charges have
been largely reduced by the proprietors of
rolling mills who have laid their own gas
pipes to the producing region, and obtained
the gas at still greater economy over coal.
The only doubt on the subject of gas in
Pittsburg, has been the permanency of the
supply; and the material extensions of the
field of production, which have recently
taken place, indicate that this generation at
least will not be troubled with a failure of
the gas.

NEW YoRK's ONLY COURSE.

The Washington Post is certainly sue
ceeding in making it very lively for those
of the citizens of New York who have any
regard fer the national reputation of their
city, by its agitation in favor of the removal
of General Grants remains from the
neglected tomb at Riverside to the Arling-
ton Cemetery at Washington. 1t may not
succeed in obtaining the removal of the
grave. Indeed, on that point, the wishes of
General Grants family are chiefly to be
consulted; but the universal expressions of
contempt at New York's failure to fulfill its
pledges on that point should certainly have
a salutary effect in convincing the metrop-
oils of millionaires that it is time to do
something in earnest to make good its
promises. If New York wishes to obtain
any public federation for its proposal with
regard to the Worlds Fair, it should begin
by showing its ability and disposition to
make more than 13 per cent composition
upon its obligations to the memory of Gen
eral Grant,

MAD AT SENATOR KENNI.
An Interview In Which Attacks on Depart

An lnterSieW IN WnIcn Atfackg on Uepart-

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DlsPATcHI
WASHINGTON, September IA published
interview with Senator Kenna. during his visit
here last week, in the course of which he re-
ferred sneeringly to the civil employees of the
Government, has created great excitement
among the department clerks. The Senator's
clerks, full at the civil service law. favorite
target with public men who drop into Wash
ington about these DAYS. All employees
below the grade of chiefs of bureaus
were likened to teamsters In the rear of an
army; and in another figure of speech the
Senator explained his reluctance to making
'cean sweep" every time a new administra-
tion comes. by comparing the old servants to
old clothes which fit too comfortably to be cast
aside. The injured dignity of the clerks has
found expression in variety of ways, and one
of the weekly papers quotes a well known
worker in the Interior Department as saying
that he ADVOCATES such measures on the
part of the clerks of the Government
as would put an end to the growing
tendency among small politicians in Congress
to insult officials of other branches of the gov
ernment, their superiors in all things but the
possession of money and position. Most of the
speeches and interviews wherein the civil
service law is denounced, and government
clerks insulted without provocation, are given
for political effect at home, and by men who,
no matter what their politics may be, are too
cowardly to rise in their places in Congress and
move the repeal of the law. 1t is inferred
from oLher remarks made by the same person
that it is his intention to notify Senator Kenna
that a repetition of such sweeping attack
resented in manner more forcible than pleas
ant.

IkRnR,s CELEBRATION.

The celebration Of Labor Day throughout
the country yesterday afforded the labor or
ganizations OF the country an opportunity to
show their strength. From the reports
which are given in our news columns it ap-
pears that the opportunity was more thor
oughly improved elsewhere than in Pitts
burg. This is possibly due to the impress
sion that in this city the strength of labor
organizations is so well known that there is
no need of making formal display of it.
At all events, Independent action by the
different trades unions, made the fact that
the day is legal holiday the most uniform
feature of the celebration; and those horny
handed toilers, the bankers and brokers,
Joined with the carpenters in being the
most scrupulous observers of the holiday.
The celebration of Labor Day by the bank
ing interest and its uon-observance by the
iron workers was one of the unique feat
ures, on which comment is useless.

five years after it is commenced is enough
to demonstrate the need of reform, and the
lawyers gave their attention to the means of
amending it. Judge Trumbull showed
salient disposition to deal with the
question thoroughly, by proposing to
turn to the more limited jurisdiction of the
United States courts fixed by the act of
1898. The State courts can be permitted to
finally determine a great mass of cases
which can now be taken to the United
States courts; and with the latter confined
to their original scope the congestion of the
Supreme Court dockets would be likely to
pass away.
But our legal friends should not fatter
themselves that the need for reform will
pass away by simply relieving the United
States Supreme Court. What is wanted is
the lessening OF the laws delays, the miti-
cation of hair-splitting technicalities and
the advising of rich or powerful clients how
they can safely ignore the laws and defeat
Justice. 1t should be borne in mind that the
ideal law reform is that which will secure
to the common people the promptest and
surest justice, and that precedents or for
mulas shall not be permitted to defeat a
rightful claim.
If the lawyers will undertake to reform
everything in the practice of the law that
conflicts with these principles they will
have very large undertaking; but success
in it will command the gratitude not only
of this but of future generations.

THE THsW WILL.

The will of William Thaw, Esq, which
was filed yesterday, would naturally attract
public attention from the magnitude of the
estate disposed Of Besides the interest that
attaches to the devising of fortune of S2O,-
0OO 900 to the deceased millionaire's family,
the will contains two leading features of
public interest.
The first is composed Of the gifts to chari-
ties and public institutions. Every one
expected that these would form leading
feature of the will. Possibly these expecta-
tions, based on the proverbial philanthropy
of the dead millionaire, may have surpassed
tie total of nearly $500, 900 distributed to
such purposes by the will. But that total,
together with the gifts made during his life,
certainly represent remarkable amount of
contributions to the public good. The
Western University and the Mission Boards
receive the largest donations. The sum of
$500, 900 distributed in various sums among
the public institutions of Pittsburg in
smaller amounts will effect great good.
The other prominent feature of the will is
the formation of trust to control the testa-
tors coke lands. This is based upon Mr..
Thaw's conviction that the lands will be
made to yield the greatest revenue by the
method of leasing them upon royalties
rather than selling them; and to that end o
perpetual estate is erected which from the
provisions is likely to extend over the
greater part of the next century, Simply
in the light of a private business arrange
ment, the provision is not especially a mat
ter for public discussion. But as an ex-
ample of the creation of great and inalien-
able estate, it sets precedent which is new
to this country. Probably the testator did
not consider the relation of such trust to
public policy; and its management will be
likely to secure the avoidance of the un-
favorable results which in other countries
have arisen from creation of such inalien-
able and indivisible properties. The pub
lie character of such provisions is more
likely to be fixed by their administration
than by their constitution; and the char
acter of the trustees in this case gives a
good assurance that the administration will
be all that can be desired. Yet it must be
said that the American policy as defined by
Webster, in favor OF securing the easy
transfer and subdivision of real property is
preferable in public point of view.
These two features in Mr.. Thaw's will re-
feet to certain extent his personal char
acter, in the distribution of munifcent
charities and in the adoption of his own
and original methods in dealing with his
great properties.

Bijou Thenter.

Little Lizzie Evans, although not star Of
dazzling brilliancy, is undeniably clever in the
half-childish roles in which she usually ap-
pears. Last night she was as bright and as full
of spirits as a schoolgirl at a picnic, and
laughed, smiled, danced, kicked. capered and
attempted to sing, with charming naivete. In
"Fine Feathers" her new play, as Nellie Mer.
rtden, farmers daughter and prospective
heiress, she has a character well suited to her
talents, and makes as much out of it, perhaps,
as anyone could.
The piece, while containing simple story,
fairly well told, is constructed on the conven-
tlonal plan, with plot that has formed the ba-
sis of various plays. The conventional villain
does not appear in it, however. which is some-
thing to be thankful for. There are great
number OF amusing situations, which might be
made more amusing If the comedians of the
company were more competent. With the ex-
ception of Miss Evans, the only persons in
the cast who appeared to have really
intelligent conceptions of their respect
i've parts were Mr.. Frank Gil
rard and Mr.. Harry Wilson. The former.
as DR.. BGrlOise. did finished bit of acting,
and the latter, as Luke Merrtden was all that
an aged and simple-hearted farmer should be.
Mr.. William Blaisdell as WdlEy RdUtone was
an awkward and impossible lover and sang
topical song that was devoid OF sense and mel
ody, He is not comedian, though the part
seems to require one.
"Fine Feathers is not as good play as
"Our Angel" in which Miss Evans last ap-
peared here and yet it is by no means bad
hot weather attraction.

TWO DIFFERENT VIEWS.

A strong illustration OF the way in which
the views of prominent men are tinted by
their wishes, is afforded by two articles in
an eastern cotemporary, one written by
Henry George, and the other by Mr.. Sam
uel Gompers, as to whether the condition of
labor has undergone any improvement dur
ing the past year. Mr.. Henry George is
decidedly of the opinion that it has not.
Mr.. Gompers declares that it has.
The attitude of the two men on this ques-
tion is very easily explained. Mr.. Georges
great plan for the amelioration of labor has
not progressed to the point of any practical
application of his remedies. Conseq uently
Mr.. George thinks that labor is in worse
condition than it was year ago, and will
continue TO be so until the time comes
when his platform of free trade, free lands
and free men" is made the prevailing prin-
ciple of government.
On the other hand, Mr.. Gompers has been
very successful in expanding his organiza-
tion, the Federation of Trades Unions.
throughout the country. The remedy which
that gentleman considers the most immedi-
ate snd efficient one in improving the condi-
tion of labor, is at the height of Its pros
perity. Naturally Mr.. Gompers thinks
that labor is much better off than it was
year or two ago, and cites facts which, to
him, seem to be conclusive in demonstrating
the correctness of his view.
Yet Mr.. George and Mr.. Gompers have
exactly the same facts on which to base
their opinions. That they are sincere in
their conclusions nobody will dispute; but
that the personal opinions of each man per-
nit him to make conclusion exactly the
opposite from that of the other, upon the
same premises, is remarkable illustration
of the way in which individual predisposi-
tions can entirely control what is generally
supposed to belong to the science of exact
reasoning.

HASTINGS UNDESIRED BURDEN.

1t seems proper subject tor earnest pro-
test when we find the political ambitions Of
so gallant and creditable gentleman as
Adjutant General Hastings weighted down
by combination which seems to be framed
for the express purpose of taking away any
possible chances that it might have had of
success. Whether the General was the
most eligible candidate for the Governorship
or not makes no difference. He ought to
have chance to sink or swim on his own
merits; and when a millstone is tied around
his neck without his knowledge or consent
we fell impelled to interpose our protest.
That is about the practical significance
of the statement that Mayor Filter has de-
cided to lend his support and countenance
to the Adjutant Generals Gubernatorial
ambition, with the distinct understanding
upon Mayor Filters part that success in
this campaign will yield the Phila-
delphia Mayor the United States
Senatorship, which is expected to
be vacant after the termination
of Senator Cameron's present term. There
is every reason to believe that General
Hastings has not been consulted with regard
to the alliance just conferred upon him; but
the distinguishing characteristic of Filter
booms, both in the past and the present. has
been that Filter. as the candidate for nation
al honors, is to be accepted without question
by the other fellows in the political ranks.
As Filter will bring his own vote to Gen.
eral Hastings, with slight Increment from
the ranks ofthe Philadelphia police. and as
such an arrangement will be likely to
ALLEVIATE the entire Cameron interests, be-
