PITTsBURG. WEDNESDAY. NOV. 6, 1889.
PITTsBURG's GUESTS.

This afternoon the Iron City of the New
World will extend its welcome to the repre-
sentatives of the various nations of the
Western Hemisphere. No guests whom
Pittsburg has entertained for years have
commanded a warmer greeting than these
do: and if we do not make their stay inter
esting it will be from shortcomings in the
means rather than from any failure in the
spirit.
The interest of Pittsburg in her visitors is
not alone the desire to show them how they
can be benefited as customers for our pro-
ducts; but it is deeper than that in the idea
which they represent They come here as
representatives. OF the idea of furthering the
commercial independence of the New World
from the Old, just as the political independ-
ence was secured in the early part Of the
century. Pittsburg is no less q center of
this idea of commercial independence than
she is the center of the iron, steel and glass
industries of this hemisphere.
For the entertainment of our visitors the
usual receptions and dinners are provided,
and the Industrial Exposition has been put
II sLIAh4uS Suls6s Dul NlCu NnCSC AdNC
been fully viewed during the two days stay
ofthe delegates we question ifany more strik-
ing or unique exposition can be found on this
continent than the inspection of Pittsburg
herself Our city, crowding the valleys and
overlooking the hills; our miles of mills,
foundries and glass works; the wealth of
natural gas and coal fuel which has created
the great manufacturing community, and
the system of railway and river transporta-
ton by which our products are sent abroad
all these the delegates must see; and then
they will comprehend what Pittsburg
means.
With the hope that her sights will interest
and please her visitors, Pittsburg stands
ready to extend her greeting to the assem-
bIed representatives of the three Americas.

EXPOSURE AS AN DEFENSE.

One of the peculiar features of the cam
paign just closed was the indignation which
was aroused among the Maryland De-
mocracy by the act of J. X. Cowen, the
leader of the Reform Democrats, in bringing
on the stage before a great audience two
notorious scoundrels, who there confessed
the criminal acts which they had committed
in the interest and under the pay of the
Democratic ring. The idea of producing
such degraded characters, and exposing
their corrupt acts in public, was a great
shock to the tender rsusceptibilities of thesup-
por5ers of German and Higgins. Such
things should be kept secret. The men
who use criminal means to maintain their
power are ali right if they do it on the sly.
But to boldly and badly show up these
things in the sunlight Of publicity is calcu-
lated to bring the blush to the cheek of the
young persons whom the Veneerings of Mary
land Democracy have under guardianship,
and must not be allowed. This federation of
corruption in secret, and horror at its ex-
posure, exhibits a remarkable quality Of
hypocrisy.

THE REVISION OF CREEps.

The very large vote by which the New
York Presbyterians voted in favor of a re-
vision of the Confession of Faith, will take
the character of surprise to the greater
part of the country. That good many
Presbyterians of this day were not disposed
to insist on such old and supposed to be
cardinal doctrines as predestination and in
fant damnation, was generally understood;
but that four-ffths Of the clergy in the chief
city of the land were ready to vote for a revi-
sion, shows that a quiet revolution has been
going on which has carried most of the sup
posed advocates of the old Presbyterianism
some distance from its leading tenets.
The motion for revision is not likely to
prevail in the National General Assembly
without much opposition. In one view
there seems to be reasonable ground for
opposition. Leaving out of the question
the acceptability of the doctrines of repro
baton and predestination, or whatever
those may be that the reformers would
amend, there is no doubt that they repre-
sent the standards of historic Presbyterian
ism. Are not those who still hold to these
dogmas entitled to the name and organiza-
tion of the church which has represented
them tor three centuries Is not the
proper course for those who have become
convinced that these doctrinal standards
are erroneous, to leave the Presbyterian
Church and organize new and reformed
church of their own?
The tendency toward freedom of thought
and loosening of creeds is not an unfavor-
able one; but it is hardly just to forget that
those who wish to stick to the old blue doc
trines will be harshly treated if they are
left without creed of their own to stand by.

Down the stream where the tide is clearer,
Farther on where the shores are fair,
Are the gracious forms we would fain benearer,
The names we speak in the voice of prayer.
Be the voyage long they will be the dearer
When after while we shall greet them there,
Farther on where the tide is clearer,
Down the stream where the shores are fair.
By and by when the sun is shining.
After while when the skies are clear,
When the cloud unfolds its silver lining
And shores of the peaceful isles draw near,
We shall free our tongues from their dull re-
pining
And fill our hearts with the words Of cheer
After while when the sun is shining,
By and BY when the skies are clear.

INFLUENCE OF THE sCHEELEY GIFT.

The abundant generosity of Mrs Schenley
in donating not merely 300 acres of land in
the heart of Pittsburg for a park. but in CO.
temporaneously Herewith offering ten acres
as a site for an institution for the blind evil
IDENTIFY touches all classes in this city very
deeply. These gifts are the greatest ever
bestowed by a single individual upon Pitts
burg. They are a testimony of pride in the
place and of interest in its welfare which
contrast all the more splendidly with the
unaccountable and almost incredible mar
rowness Of those persons who are mentioned
in the reports of Mr.. Carnahan's mission as
going to the gratuitous trouble of advising
Mrs. Schenley against this most welcome
and muniicent display of thoughtful con-
sideration for our town.
No more enduring memento of this gen.
erous transaction can be devised than will
be found in Schenley Park itself and in the
public appreciation of this much-needed ad-
dition to the attractions of Pittsburg. Not
merely for its own immediate value is the
gift to be esteemed, but for the example
which it sets to other people of great wealth
TO contribute in some similar manner to the
general welfare. Mr.. Carnegie has already
shown such a spirit. The most precious
possession left by the late William Thaw is
the public memory of his unfailing liber-
ality where any good cause was concerned
Such examples of phIlanthropic purpose
and action have an influence for good that
is untold and incalculable. Ii our city has
not hitherto had so many of them as some
other places have been favored with, there
is at least the satisfaction of the more gen.
eral and intense appreciation when such
striking and substantial evidences of good
will are experienced hereabouts.

LADIES RAID A CLUB ROOM.
They Clean Out a Drinking Place, Driving
the Propri tor Away.


BLUE SPRINGS, MO-, November 5-John Ha-
ley came here a week ago from Argentine,
Kan, and opened quiet club room. The local
laws of Blue Springs are Of the strictest posi-
BILE kind but as Haley kept high-toned place,
no one interfered with him On Saturday
night, however, Is women belonging to the
temperance organization of the town, masked
and armed with clubs, made an attack on the
club room. They broke in the doors and found
seven or eight old soaks engaged in a game of
cards. They ordered them out of the ROOM
and then began knocking the bungs out of beer
kegs and whisky barrels.
Haley made show of resistance, but he was
hit on the head with clubs, and finally ran
down the street with four women after him
He escaped in the roller mill The women
smashed all the bottles and glasses and poured
the whisky in the street. One of the old topers
who remained on the sidewalk appealed to the
women not to destroy the whisky but to take
it home and keep it for medical purposes
That's mighty poor whisky, ladies'" he
cried, land the Lord didn't intend it should be
dumped in the gutter while there are SO many
poor, sick people around. 1 am not feeling
well. myself"
This remark was signal for an attack. and
the man was compelled to take to his heels
The club room and all its attractions were de-
stroyed. The women are the leading matrons
of the town.

MORE IMPOSING THAN NECESSARY

The elaborate scheme which gentleman
kindly contributes to THE DIsPATCH's s
local columns for the formation of a Pan
American Company of SIS, 900 capital,
with banking, transportation and CONNER
cial departments, contains a slight sugges-
tion of the policy of the monarch who built
a magnificent city with wharves, pavements,
opera houses, government buildings, parks
and lights, butforgot toprovide population.
This plan puts all the machinery of trade
on paper; but it pays no attention to the all
important question what the trade shall be.
The machinery of trade is necessary no
doubt; but when it is found out what of
our products the South Americans want,
and we can furnish cheaper than Europe,
the banking, transportation and commercial
agencies will promptly spring up. If We

Coming to his pet theme Captain Zalinsi

that continental nations will need that amount
of time to equip their armies with the ney style
of rifle and possibly with notifications, their
artillery, to meet the requirements of smoke
less powder in both cases.
SIN this connection may add that war, in
stead of being fastened by the frequent inl-
proVements in its appliances, is actually re-
tarded by them, because whenever anything of
military importance is discovered nations are
apt to wait before risking a conflict until they
have tested and applied them to their own use.
AS such discoveries are constantly being
made, war may thus be postponed indefinitely.
But, postpone it as they may, the crisis must
come. When war does come it will be terrible.

A NEW TRANSATLANTIC PORT.
Great Saving in Time By Landing 9
Milford Haven, in Wales.

A Great Saving In Time By Landing at
Milford Haven, in Wales.
From the New York Sun.I
Great interest has been excited in shipping
circles both in this country and in England, by
the call recently made at Milford Haven by the
steamship City Of Rome on her last passage
out from New York, when she discharged her
passengers there instead Of at Liverpool. Mil
ford Haven is port in Wales, on the extreme
western point of England. London is 2S5 miles
from Milford Haven on direct line east, and
Liverpool, to the northwest of London, is much
further from the big city. For whole genera
ton the advantages of Milford Haven as q
stopping place for the Transatlantic steamships
have been pointed out, but this is the first time
tnat the port has really been utilized for pas
senger traffic by big steamship line.
1t is believed that the Milford route can be
made IN from Is to "a hours less than bY way
OF Liverpool from New York. Many Of the
steamship men say that nothing can prevent
Milford Haven from becoming the great point
of landing and departure in the traffic betWeen
Europe and the United States.

learn that expert opinion is discovering
that it costs 81, 200 to fle the big 1O0-ton

CHINAMEN STILL COMING.

Great Numbers.

CHICAGO, November 5.-H. X. Armsby, Of
Victoria, B. c.. says: Your Government ought
to expend some of its surplus in building reve-
nue. cutters to patrol the northern waters of
Puget Sound and the waters of the Strait. The
Chinese who land in our country are just
swarming to California. All the railways of
our city are doing an immense business in ship
ping their goods to California. The collector
at Port Townsend took alarm at the quantity of
Chinese personal effects which appeared with
out owners. He discovered that he Chinese
had smuggled across, and were sending back
for household goods. Then he put q stop to 1t.
mot long ago 1 called upon the collector at
Port Townsend. He said: know very well
that constant stream of Chinese is passing,
but can't guard 1000 miles of coast line with
only seven inspectors. have caught few of
the CelestIals, but great number pass un-
seen.'"
Mr.. Armsby thinks Mongolian immigration to
the United States will be limited only by the
capacity of British Columbia to receive them
at $50 a head, and discharge them upon us.
Some time ago." he said, "a revenue agent
came to our place, and subsequently reported
at San Francisco that no Chinese were crossing
the line. He needs but one eye now to see

many Caucasians are interested"

IT is rather pleasant to learn from the
personal gossip of the Philadelphia Inquirer,
that "the owner of a feet of steamboats, ply

interest this city; but a still more interest
