QUAY as A REFORMER.

The plant in which Senator Matthew
Stanley Quay is reported as indulging, in
an interview yesterdays calculated to raise
the hope that experience will convert our
junior Senator into civil service reformer.
That would be remarkable metamorphosis;
but it is nevertheless the legitimate deduc-
ton from the fact that the Senator is dis
gusted and overwhelmed with his expert
ence in the role of spoils distributor.
Senator Quay declares that half of the
horrors of the state of siege from Office seek
ers has not been told. He asserts that they
attack the fortress before breakfast and keep
up the assault till the small hours beyond
midnight. Many of them are, in the opinion
of the Senator, insane on the subject of get
ting Office; and it is calculated to grieve and
injure the ambitious patriots who have been
desirous of serving the country, to learn that
the Senator regards the greater number of
them as ''not representative members of the
party, but rather the scum of it." Such
expressions sound so mugwumpish as to war
rant a suspicion that remarkable revolu-
tion is going on in the mind of the recent
commander of the Republican forces.
The premises stated by Senator Quay are
certainly such as to warrant some very
sound conclusions. 1t is clear that a states
man like the Beaver Senator, who should
be permitted to give his exclusive attention
to great subjects of legislation, and who has
to consider laws, not only for the nation but
for the State, should not be the subject of
persecution from half-crazed Office seekers.
1t also is plain enough that system of Or
ganized importantly which shoves forward
''the scum OF the party" is not calculated to
produce good condition of the public ser
vice. Senator Quay is in a fair way to per-
ceive the falsity of the theory that Senators
should have an appointing power; and even
to 90 further and concede the virtues of
system that shall do away with all this
place-begging by awarding positions on
tests of ascertained fitness and making pro-
motions in accordance with the records of
ability, fidelity and Industry.
Is the Senator going to become a civil ser
vice reformer? He certainly seems to lay a
pretty good foundation for that sort of opin-
ion, by his statement of experience.

THE CABLE CHARTERS.

The decision of Judge Mcpherson, in the
case of the Lafayette Traction Company, of
Easton, that charters under the act of 1873
are invalid, furnishes possible explanation
of the urgency with which legislation for the
cable companies has been asked at this
session. The inference that all the COM
panies in the State are affected by this
ruling, would certainly warrant the man
ayers of all of them, in being very desirous
to have a legal definition of their status.
OF course the question will be taken to the
Supreme Court; and, beyond that, the cable
companies will be diligent in asking for a
law under which they can organize, if Judge
McPherson's decision is sustained. No >one
will dispute that corporations performing
such an unquestioned public service as the
cable companies do, are entitled to valid
charters; but if legislation has 10 be enacted
for them, it will afford splendid oppor-
tunity to provide against the abuses of
stock watering and combination to which the
business seems especially prone at present

AQUEOUS FERTILITY.

The large proportion of inorganic, but not
wholly innocuous matter which has been
furnished to some parts of the city in the
water pipes, is arousing considerable discus
sion. The public is very apt to jump to the
conclusion that it has paid money enough to
secure clear drinking water; but the officials
of the water bureau are equally prompt to
explain that they are not responsible for the
proftless expenditures of years ago, and
that they are doing the best that they can
with their present facilities.
There is evidence that clear water can be
furnished by an adequate system of settling
and storage reservoirs, in the pertinent fact
that while the rest of the city has been COM
planning of high degree of alluvial tritur-
alton, the sections supplied from the Her
ron Hill reservoir have been enjoying
perfectly transparent water. That it would
cost a good deal of money to build an ade-
quate settling reservoir is beyond question,
but it is not beyond question that it would
be worth the money.
In the meantime is it certain there is
nothing that can be made to serve the pur-
pose? THE DISPATCH has several times
urged the cleaning out of the Bedford ave-
nue. basins, and their use as storage reser-
voirs when the direct supply was unavail-
able. An experiment Of that sort would
not be expensive, and might prove to con-
tain more desirable qualities than the river
water does at present.

ting price on, in Mr.. Williamson's library,
yet we do not considering all the circum-
stances, think it necessary to shed tears on
either account
Mr.. Williamson's life was usefully spent.
If he did not encourage the tailors, he did
putt life and hope into the hearts of number
less widows and orphans. Again if his
tastes were not of the kind that discover
qualification in the formation OF gigantic
library, it is certain that he built better
monument for himself in schools and hos
pitals 1t is not at all certain that it would
be conducive to the worlds happiness or
prosperity if all its rich men spent their
millions in sartorial extravagances, and in
the accumulation of books. The world is
better for the bibliophile tendencies of q
certain percentage OF its inhabitants. But
there are many other admirable pursuits,
not essentially demonstrative of culture,
perhaps, but inspired with the infinitely
more valuable breath of Christian charity.
Mr.. Williamson without books and with
no store clothes, was of much greater benefit
to his fellowmen than a great many million
aires whose houses have costly Libraries,
and whose valets guard huge stores of FASH
ionable garments.

N. D. EDsELLE'S ROCKET.
The Latest Flying Machine q Dead Sell
Invented by Billy Florence.

The Latest Flying Machine q Dead Sell
Invented by Billy Florence.
FROM the Chicago News.J
Otr valued friend, Mr.. William ]. Florence,
thei comedian. is a gentleman whose humor is
ofJa peculiar kind. He loves q practical joke,
and he enjoys it most when its authorship re-
mains dark, impenetrable mystery. 1t is al
ways pleasure to betray friend who takes
such delight in selling his fellow mortals. We
take immense satisfaction, therefore, in expos
ing the practical joke which Mr.. Florence has
played with more or less success upon several
communities within the last five years.
Mr.. Florence's scheme has been to advertise
the ascension Of human rocket" and to at
tract togetherat given time at q stated place
an enormous crowd of people anxious to see
the sight of a man who, tied to an enormous
rocket, blazes away from earth to preposter-
ous height and subsequently descends safely by
means of parachute. Our ingenious friend
told US all about this hoax when he was last In
Chicago, and he gave graphic description Of
the crowds that waited patiently for the "hu-
man rocket" that never came. This was Mr..
Florenees idea of an ideal joke. While he was
in the Northwest last winter the Minneapolis
Tribune (January l3) printed a long and har-
rowing description of the human rocket and
gave several woodcuts of the alleged machine
in operation. The description and illustrations
ventor of the rocket Prof. d. Edselle, at that
time said to be sojourner in Minneapolis.
Mr.. Florence has now reached Northern New
York. and, of course, his hoax is with him.
Yesterday morning the daily papers all over the
country printed kilograms from Buffalo, giving
information about the remarkable invention Of
Prof. D. Edselle, which was to lbe exhibited
at the International Exposition.
Well, OF course thousands of credulous peo-
pie will believe thisyarn and will pour into Buff
falo for the purpose of seeing D. Edselle and
his preposterous machine. And Mr.. W lila m
J. Florence will meanwhile laugh, laugh and
grow fat. 1t seems strange that so few folk
should have recognized the dead SELF in that
peculiar name, d. Edselle.

kRBoR DAY AND PTTTsBURG.

A week from tomorrow has been desig-
mated by the Governor of Pennsylvania as
Arbor Day, for the Identification Of streets
and homes by setting out plants and trees.
The plan has been so far addressed espec-
tally to the schools of the State and in some
towns it has been very successful in pro-
ducing marked addition to the attractive
ness OF public grounds.
In Pittsburg comparatively little has
been done, on account of the eircumscribed
surroundings of the schools. Brick court
yards do not afford frst-class facilities for
setting out trees, and the absence of parks
has shut off the other vent for the energies
Of the scholars on Arbor Day. But the
purpose of that festival should not be lost
sight Of In the adornment of our streets
by trees there is q work that could keep the
whole population busy on Arbor Day for
several years to come.
During the period of coal smoke the
trouble of keeping trees alive was so great
that the idea of shade trees along the city
streets was pretty well abandoned. In ad-
dition to that the confined space and en-
croaching payements of many of our streets
has added to the difficulty. But with the
smoke gone it should be possible to find
room for foliage; and the work Of supplying
the city with them is about equal in magni-
tude and Importance. Every tree that can
be made to grow on our streets viii add
materially to their sttractiveness, and there
fore to the value of the property in the VII
cinity. If Pittsburg can be made city
of trees, its beauties will be increased by a
high exponent.
This is q possibility Of Arbor Day which
should be recognized here. The city author
ities and the public at large should take it
in hand to encourage work for the orna-
mentation of the city.
