CABLE CAR TAXES.

The discovery, in the Controllers Office,
that the ordinances under which the cable
roads obtained their privileges appear to
have released them from the tax on cars
which was levied on their predecessors, the
street railway companies, is an example of
the omissions which are sure to occur in
hasty legislation. Few people would dis
pute the justice of tax upon these corpo-
rations by which they would pay in proper
ton to the volume of their business; and
yet, with the precedent of the tax on the
corporations to which they succeeded, the
point was overlooked altogether. The fact
that some of these ordinances were sent
through under suspension of the rules may
afford a partial explanation of the omission.
The error is, however, by no means a vital
one. The idea of gaining compensation for
the privileges in the streets granted to pas
senger railways by taxation or by putting
the privileges up at auction is an extremely
futile one. All that the companies pay in
that way they must get back from the pub
lie, and SO that policy ultimately resolves
itself into the medieval practice of raising
revenues by tax-farmlng and the sale OF
monopolies. The fact is that these privi-
leges should be based on the just ground of
the benefit to the public by cheap and rapid
transit. If the full advantage is secured
by such competition as will reduce charges
to the point which yields the companies
fair profit on actual and unwatered cost of
construction, the privileges confer an un-
mixed public benefit. If the companies by
combination are able to load up their enter
prises with a huge structure of watered
stocks, and force dividends upon them by
higher charges than would be levied under
fair and free competition, the loss of few
thousand dollars in taxes will be of little
moment beside the burden which is placed
on the public 5y means of the greater abuse.

A COMBINE INDICATED.

The rumors which have been set afoat by
the withdrawal of the stock of the Ameri-
can Meat Company from public subscrip-
tion do more to strengthen the suspicion of
a practical monopoly in the dressed beef
business than anything else within the
public knowledge. 1t is certain that the
new company would have been strong
competitor of the Chicago and Kansas City
concerns. That the business should be
open to competition is potent on the face of
it; and that new establishment could not
injure the old ones unless they are enjoying
some extraordinary profits from a combina-
tion to suppress competition is hardly less
clear. The fact that the new enterprise has
suddenly backed down and that the with
drswal was caused by an attack of the
Armour crowd or the interests of the
Standard Oil men, WHO were behind the
new meat company, in the Cotton Seed Oil
Trust, is in line with the facts. 1t may be
interesting to learn that there is CLIQUE
that can conquer the Standard Oil crowd,
but that fact can hardly compensate for
the evidence of a monopoly in food staple.

THE CONSTITUTION DOESN'T COUNT.

Nobody will be surprised this morning
but good many people through the State
must experience much stronger feeling
at the refusal of the Legislature to consider
the Wherry anti-discrimination bill. This
simply means that, under the existing re-
gime, no relief need be looked for at Harris
burg. The intimation that Senator Della
mater and Chairman Andrews are preparing
something, misleads no one.
Comment on the attitude Of the Legislat-
ure would be superfuous. Nothing was
asked by the Wherry bill beyond mere
legislative enforcement of those provisions
of the Constitution which have lain dead
letter on the books for the past fifteen years
This is the same Constitution which the
members of the Legislature take oath to
support. If there were no other reason-if
it had not also been abundantlv shown that
the business interests of the Commonwealth
were suffering from such causes as the Con-
stitution sought to prevent-the mere obli-
cation which members take with their seats
would have required the legislation they SO
lightly thrust aside.
But it is not merely placid indifference
to constitutional requirements that is ex-
hibited by the vote of yesterday. The Re-
publican party in this State solemnly
pledged itself three years ago to bill
against discrimination. This pledge has
been studiously ignored. When the Dem
ocrats bring in bill the pledge is dis
tinctly broken and the measure rejected
without pretense of discussion upon its
merits.
1t is waste of time to inquire what may be
the motives which led to this extraordinary
line of action. No explanation that amounts
to a row of pins is offered. But the question
arises: can the Republican managers afford
to have the party representatives stand in
this attitude? 1t is not safe for those
who think their seats in the saddle frmest
to too openly despise the mandates of the
fundamental law. Opposition to this same
Constitution by the Republican managers
put the Democrats in power in Pennsylva-
MIA in 1874 Contempt for it now, and
blind subserviency to corporation interests,
may work another change as sweeping at
coming elections.
Incidentally, too, the thought suggests
itself whether, in such an event, the rail-
roads will be able to congratulate themselves
on the enactment of as fair and reasonable
a measure as Mr.. Wherry's, which they
have just kicked so contemptuously over
board. The Legislature has spoken. The
public will speak later on.

IRELAND's RISING STAR

Sir Charles Russell concluded his opening
for the defense before the Parnell Com
mission in a way to corroborate the idea
suggested by THE DISPATCH some days
ago, that the opportunity afforded by the
course of the prosecution to put on record
full showing of Ireland's wrongs will be
utilized to the utmost. 1t is always best to
remember the proverb that ''he who putteth
on his armor should not boast himself like
him who putteth it off," But 1t is plain
that the advocate of the Irish leaders has
made most favorable impression, when he
elicits congratulations from the bench.
With this speech backed up by evidence
showing the purposes of the Nationalist
policy, the evils and wrongs which Mr..
Parnell and bis colleagues are striving to
remedy, and their strict adherence to con-
stitutional agitation, it will go far toward
fastening the final triumph of the Irish
cause. There could not be more remark
able instance of falling into the pit digged
for a neighbor, if this trial, which was
brought about to ruin Mr.. Parnell should
result in placing him higher in English
opinion than ever before.

QUITE A DIFFERENCE,

The discussion as to the treatment of
Pittsburg by the railroads, makes it peril
nent to notice one contrast that has recently
been afforded by the trunk lines. Last tall,
it will be remembered, Pittsburg had a
Centennial celebration. 1t was an occasion
which was calculated to draw visitors from
large extent of territory, and which did so,
even under the unfavorable circumstances
imposed by the railroads. The public can
hardly have forgotten the difficulty which
was experienced in getting the railroads to
extend the excursion rate for the round
trip, of II times the regular single-trip
rate, extended to a limit of 800 miles, or the
fact that some of the lines did not even do
that
Seven months later New York has cele-
bration. The policy of the railroads seems
to be very different in this case. One fare
for the round trip throughout the trunk line
territory is conceded, and beyond that terri
tory the same rate plus 81. More than that,
when the wholesale merchants represent that
their customers would like to stay in town
longer than for the celebration, the dura-
tiOn of ticket is extended over nearly two
weeks. Need there be any better evidence
of the railroad opinion that Pittsburg is
useful beast of burden, strong enough to
carry heavy charges, but not worthy of re-
ceiving any especial attention?

six hundred of the guests will move about

authority of society's leader, and there will

bucket brigade will be told off on the night
of the ball to follow McAlIister wherever
be goes, or his lachrymal performances may
make the floor sloppy. These attendants
might carry walls such as the Romans

Four Hundred after the ball, and would
doubtless swell the Centennial fund hand
somely.
The very thought of McAllister fallen
from his high estate and mourning the un-
timely end of his own idea, the elimination
of the hope of years, the long-cherished
chance Of his lifetime, ball after his own
conception, would make even a marble
monkey weep. And when there is sound
of weeping in McAllisterville, and when
the grasshopper, if it were there, would be
a burden, it is somewhat out of tune in the
New York Sun to remark in chipper tone
that it is going to be the greatest and grandest
centennial celebration ever before seen in
this republic. "You can't" says the Sun,
"stop 1t; YOU can't belittle it. YOU can lessen
its importance by ridicule." Then a few
days later it publishes full report of Nc
Allister's lamentation. 1t would seem that
the New York papers are doing their level
best to belittIe the celebration and to lessen
its importance by ridicule. If they do not
succeed it is not their fault Nor Nc

Special Telegram to The Dispatch.
WORCESTER, MASS, April 12-Tne Repub-
lican City Committee have taken advantage of
the slow machinery of the courts to avoid pay
ment of q bill Of $2l7 incurred during the cam
paign last fall. The suits are brought by Cater
er F. E. Marshall, who seeks to recover the
balance of the bill for collations furnished the
torchlght bearers who shouted and
marched for Harrison and Morton.
-Four lawyers on the committee will
defend the suits. Mr.. Marshall, before
bringing his SUITS was assured by a member Of
the committee that he should receive the frOs
moneys collected, and at the opening of the
fall campaign funds would be forthcoming.
He began his suits and the committee last
evening decided that it would give him an op-
portunity to collect his bill by the slow process
OF the courts, and If he gets his money in year
he will be lucky.
After the meeting there was considerable
outside gossip to the effect that the course de-
cided upon was cheaper and easier than it
would be for the parties sued to 90 through
bankruptcy, and also that it was somewhat
novel way for Republicans to meet creditors
having honest bills, but anything sluggish and
easy seems to be attractive in this Instance,

TERMS OF THE DIsPATCH.
PITTsBURG, SATURDAY. APR Is, 1889.
TWELVE PAGES
THE PENITENTIARY INVESTIGATION.

The question of the penitentiary manage
ment has been brought up again by the visit
of the Senate Committee and the presenta-
tion of formal charges. The charges en-
brace allegations of cruelty in two distinct
cases, and one in which the allegation is
rather indefinite, assertions of financial mis-
management, of which, perhaps, the most
important is the one that DR.. Maharneke
was given a salary after his suspension, and
some general charges of favoritism and lack
of discipline.
Now that these charges are made the only
course left is an open and thorough investi-
cation without prejudice and without favor.
The DISPATCH has criticised the produc-
tion Of anonymous or unsupported charges,
and has considered them, when they ap-
pesred in that shape, as unworthy of public
attention. When supported by their au-
thor, however, they require the hearing
which the Senate Committee appears dis
posed to give. IF they are untrue the man.
agement of the penitentisry is entitled to
the vindieation; if they are true the public
interest calls for the exposure and abolition
of the abuses.
The Senate Committee will furnish an un-
prejudiced tribunal; and if it makes the in
vestigation thorough, the much-agitated
question of the penitentiary management
will be settled for good or i'll.
