Harris and Savage.

vile Banner of late date pays the
following tribute to the cold man of
the mountains :"
When Col. John II. Savage said
last night, 81 have had no internal
revenue machine at my back the
Atkins men laughed, and when, in
the next sentence, Col. Savage said,
81 have had no Indian bureau at my
back" the Harris men yelled with
delight. Each faction saw that the
old man Of the mountains had made
a palpable hit. The truth is, Savage's
record is one Of the cleanest among
the prominent men Of his party.
He has never been machine poll
tician, and today he stands head and
shoulders above Isham G. Harris,
when you come to sum up the more
admirable qualities Of the two as
politicians. Harris has Topped and
trimmed ever since he first entered
politics to promote his own ambi-
tious ends. Savage has been con-
sistent, frank and outspoken. He
has been ambitious, but he has not
been a trimmer. Harris has a won
derful tact and power of controlling
men through personal influences.
He, as IA politician, has studied men
rather than public measures, and
today he is the most forcetul manager
of men in politics in Tennessee. AS
a statesman he has not identified
himself cOnspicuously with any public
measure in congress. Savage, on the
other hand, is man of ideas. He is
constantly discussing and urging
questions of state or governmental
policy, and asks men to accept his
ideas rather than give him personally
following. Sometimes, we think,
his ideas have been radically wrong,
but he was honest in advancing them.
Perhaps we have directed more
criticism and radicule at Savage than
any other man in the state, and yet
there is much more in Savage to be
admired than in Harris. Savage is
a better democrat, because he is a
more straightforward democrat. If
Savage had solemnly and publicly
promised that he would never again
bea candidate, he would have been
true to his promise. Savage has not
the prestige of Harris, but he has
more earnestly endeavored to serve
his party. Harris is superior
organizer, an expert at the working
of political wires. He keeps his
mouth closed to the public and
whispers instructions constantly into
the ears of his lieutenants. Savage
is too blunt and impatient for the
sharp underground work of the
politician. He blurts out his senti-
ments and dOsen't care who hears
him. He talks right out in meetint,
Harris knows more in one minute OF
the art of working men and using
them than Atkins and Savage to.

RATHER sHADowY JURISDICTION

The conflict of authority which has arisen
in California, between the United States
and the State Courts, in the celebrated
Sharon case, is the latest of the peculiar
features of that remarkable litigation. The
State Court absolutely refuses to recognize
the authority of the United States Court,
and, having declared the marriage contract
valid, dlsobeys the injunction of the United
States Court against fixing hearing for the
motion to appoint receiver of the Sharon
estate. So far as the uninstructed public
can see, the State Court is in the right.
The case is decidedly unsavory one, and
one of its unssvory aspects is the interfer-
ence OF the United States Court with prac-
tical claim of jurisdiction upon the subject
of marriage laws.
THE DISPATCH has heretofore claimed
that, for the purpose of securing uniformity
in marriage and divorce, the United States
Court should have jurisdiction; but it has
always been recognized that that jurisdic-
ticn can only be obtained by an amend
ment to the United States Constitution, and
the passage of national legislation for uni
form marriage and divorce laws. That
being the case, it evidently leaves very
insecure foundation the claim of juris-
diction for the United States Court in the
Sharon-Hill case. Apart from the merits
of the case, both parties to which seem to
have been of an equally shady character,
the interference of a Judge who has hitherto
been serviceable to the millionares of Cali
fornia upon such shadowy claim of juris-
diction is not creditable either 10 himself
or to the United States Judiciary.

WHERE THE WRONG Is.

The interviews with certain leading oper-
ators who state that their company stores
are ben nefcial to the miners, only empha-
sizes the fact that the institution which is a
legitimate one kept within proper bounds,
may be perverted to an instrument Of ex-
tortion when the miners are forced to trade
at them and to pay prices that amount to a
virtual confscation of part Of their wages.
On the statement of these operators, the
miners are not forced to trade at their
stores, except by the fact that they can get
goods cheaper there than elsewhere. That
being the case, it is plain that these oper-
ators are at disadvantage in competing
with others paying nominally the same
wages but actually reducing wages by forc-
ing the miners to take pay in goods at
double prices.
The wrong lies in making monopoly of
the stores and fair-minded operators as well
as miners should be united in the effort to
put down that public injustice.

FROM STAFF CORRESPONDENCE
JoHNsTowN, June l5.-Crushed and bowed
in the depths of despair, it is hardly wonder
that the stricken people of this devastated city
have thought of little else for the past few
days than the immediate relief of their suffer-
ings and given attention only to procuring
proper food and shelter, of which they still
stand in such urgent need. Tomorrow, how
ever, they will turn their thoughts to the re-
ligiOus observances of the day, and several
meetings will be held.
Though many Of the churches in the city
that stood in the path of the mad waters were
swept away and others ruined to such an ex-
tent as to be unfit for use, few were left stand
ing that are IN proper condition for holding
services.
The Episcopal churches were completely ru-
ined, and the members, numbering 400. some of
whom were lost in the flood will meet at the
residence of Mrs. Higson in Morrellville Sun
day evening.
Thirty-seVen out of LOGS members of the
Methodist denomination are lost, and the
chapel is not in proper condition for use, but
services will be conducted by Rev. MIR. Ma
gutro on the pavement in front of the chapel at
the corner of Locust and Franklin streets
Bishop Whitehead will be in Johnstown and
conduct an Episcopal meeting in the morning
at the Peeleryllle schoolhouse on the hill above
the Pennsylvania freight depot.
But there have been other unusual prepara-
tions for the people who feel inclined to follow

terian service, Rev. John Fox, of North

with the absence of many of them. The
prohibition idea is the extreme swing of the
pendulum. For many years there was no
attempt at even reasonable restriction Of the
liquor traffic. Such laws as existed for its
regulation were disregarded; when their
constant violation prompted more severely
restrictive measures these were antagonized
by certain sections of the liquor trade,
where, in point of fact, the true interests of
the latter should have dictated support for
every measure looking to The abatement of
intemperarce and the better preservation Of
order. For these reasons it would be falla-
cious, and possibly misleading, to count
upon all who are unconvinced about pro-
hibition voting against it, as to expect that
the Republicans will be ranged exclusively
upon one side or the other.
Where such a division of sentiment is
liable to exist, the confident predictions OF
either side really amount to little more
than guess work. THE DISPATCH does not
favor prohibitory legislation, particularly
when high license is being proved an effec-
tive and successful method of preventing
the abuses which formerly attended the
liquor traffic. 1t believes majority of the
voters take the same view; but, In estimat-
ing the result, it is impossible not to take
into account that a considerable proportion
OF those who think so may not think so suf-
fciently to go to the polls-particularly on
special election. Much will even depend
on the active personal canvassing of the
opposing sides between now and Tuesday
night,
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-06-16
GUESSING AT TUESDAYS VOTE,

Whatever advantage comes from tall
claims is not to be foregone by either the
Prohibitionists or the Antis. Not the most
experienced of the veteran party poll
ticians, who know how bold front intimi-
dates the weak and influences the wavering,
could indulge with more seeming sincerity
in predictions of victory than both the Pro-
hibitionists and their opponents are now
doing as to the ballots on Tuesday.
Yet the tact is that there was never an
election with fewer ascertained antecedent
factors to support even guess at the actual
vote. 1t is idle to attempt to figure it out
by the record of regular parties. Neither
Republicans nor Democrats. in any great
number, will look at prohibition from a
party light, but much rather according to
their individual experience and personal
environment. 1t is a case for the conscience
and judgment of each voter, and it is very
much on that basis that the ballots will be
cast rather than following party leaders.
L everybody who doubts whether prohi-
bition is the most desirable way of dealing
with intemperance; every one who thinks
high license rigidly administered, as by
Judge White, for instance, to be preferable;
every one who believes that regulation and
punishment vigorously applied could deal
with the abuse of liqder while leaving those
TO use it who may safely do soft these
several classes, including again such as be-
.heve that prohibition is liable to become a
dead letter, were to be surely found among
the Ants, then, indeed, there is little ques-
tion that party would have large majority.
But there is no certainty of all these turn
ing up at the polls; and the past course of
the liquor interests will have much to do
