CALL A COLD A COLD.

The influenza epidemic is serious enough
without exaggerating its proportions or
eDlarging unduly upon the painful symp-
toms of the disease. The report that over
five hundred people had died in Paris Of
the disease in one day has, as we predicted,
been proven silly canard. Not more than
half that number have died of the disease
since it appeared in Europe a month ago.
That is the mortuary record for all Europe.
1t is very clear, therefore, that influenza is
not very deadly scourge, no matter how
disagreeable it may be.
Doctors everywhere will do the public a
service if they will refrain from encourag-
ing the popular belief in the prevalency of
La Grippe. Every man, woman and child
in this country for some weeks yet, and
until the novelty of the thing has worn of,
will positively take pride in being victims
of the fashionable plague. The very fact
that influenza is seldom fatal will infame
this fashionable tendency. Doctors can
check it, and even the disease, should it
really take epidemic form here, by calling
colds, catarrhal affections and malarial
fevers by their proper names. The power of
imagination in these matters is prodigious.

L1RRARY,s MERITs.

There is more than topical interest in an
article upon the Mercantile or Pittsburg
Library, which appears in the Second Part
of this issue. The interview with Miss
Macrum abundantly testifes to the good
which the library has done and is still do
ing. Representative citizens also express
their belief that the library is of great benefit
to the community and should be maintained.
There ought to be no doubt about the
librsry's survival, aud there is tolerably
good ground to believe that there is none.
The library furnishes to subscribers of all
classes, though there are doubtless few of
what are loosely termed "wOrkingmen"
among the subscribers, books of superior
character. The high standard maintained
at the library in its selection of books is. In
deed, one of its chief Recommendation
Among the interesting and suggestive re-
marks from citizens as to the library's use
we think those of Mr. w. j. Bremen are
particularly worthy of note. Mr.. Bremen
said:
have got an idea of my own on the subject
of city libraries for workingmen. l believe
that small but select depot of works, with
reading room attached, should be placed in
every ward. These little book depots would do
far more good than the biggest of big central
free libraries. The workingman doesn't care
to walk in fromsLawrenceville or Birmingham
to read in central library. Give him a room
and books in his own ward and he'll go there
fast enough. If he gets beyond the stock of
standard works in the ward reading room he
may think it worth his while to come to a CEN
tral library, and for that treason if for no other
think the Penn avenue establishment is worth
keeping
OF course Mr.. Brennen's idea has been
utilized before now, but not to any extent,
we believe, in this city. 1t is worth bear
ing in mind in these days of great Libraries.

BRAzII,s EUROPEAN FOES.

There is something more than a whisper
in diplomatic circles in regard to the game
that is being played by the powers of Eu-
rope in relation to the Brazilian Republic.
There appears to be no concealment of a
conviction that the willy diplomats of Portu-
gal, Spain, Italy, Germany and Great
Britain have already had their heads to-
lgether, in fact or by proxy, and that there is
an explicit agreement to march alongside of
each other in every step taken to restore
things as they were previous to the coup
d'etat. The bloodlessness of the change of
government; the unsnimity with which the
people accepted the deposition Of popular
Emperor, and the establishment Of Re
public, with President and Ministers
virtually self-appointed; the mutterings
of a popular uprising in Portugal and
Spain, so scared every potentate in Europe
as to lead to tremendous correspondence
of a furried and hurried character, which
has been less secret than such things are
usually held, and the substance of some of it
has percolated through diplomatic repre-
sentatives in Washington, revealing in a
general way, the fact of a conspiracy on the
part of Ministers of State and Parliamentary
Premiers of the Governments named to re-
store Dom Pedro to his throne, or, at the
very least. to overthrow the Republic and
bring about q dictatorship, or war and
anarchy.
Of course Bismarck is given credit for be-
ing the srch-cOnspirator, and it is confidently
expected by the diplomats who gossip about
ne conspiracy that there will be exciting
developments very soon. The dilatory man
ner of Congress in treating the question of
recognition is declared to have ENCOURAGED
the conspirators, who are in haste to produce
chaos before the recognition of the Brazilian
Republic by the United States Govern
ment

PLAYING AT pnI1rrcs

When the Democratic party in the east
ern part of this State has nothing else
to do-and it scorns to do nothing-it trots
out a new candidate for Governor. The
last candidate born of ennui is a very good
fellow, Harry Mccormick, of Har-
risburg. he is very well known
in Dauphin county politics, but
out of sight of the Capitol his fame is
principally social. There is talk about him
now as compromise candidate should the
friends of Black and Wallace fail to agree.
But there is a much larger possibility be-
hind the scenes when it comes to talk of
compromises. Philadelphia is the home of
Robert E Pattison, Ex-Governor of Penn
sylvsnis.
In Berks county School Superintendent
Baer is contributing his mite to peace and
harmony in the Democratic camp by calling
for an entire change in the party methods
and machinery. He wishes Mr.. Kisner re-
moved from the State Craftsmanship, and
he says that the removal is to be made when
the time comes. But this also is uncom-
monty redolent of idleness, though it shows
an unhappy spirit in Mr.. Baer. 1t looks
like case of Baer with a sore head.

NOT NATIONALIST 1ssuE

The suit which was brought in the En-
glish divorce courts yesterday including
Mr.. Parnell as a correspondent, will, no
doubt, be used by the opposition to the Ma
tionalist cause for any effect that it may
produce politically. But whatever the issue
of the case. and as yet it is but an ex pdrte
statement, the Nationalist cause has now
progressed too far to be injured BY attempts
against the prestige of one or more of the
leaders. 1t long since seemed to be merely
an.afair of Irish politics, and is now an
issue to which the best intellect of the En-
glish Liberal party, with Mr.. Gladstone at
Its head. is firmly committed.
Until Parnell's answer is heard to the
complaint yesterday iled, it cannot be
known in what degree the proceedings will
personally affect him. He has Just
emerged with success from the pro-
tracted trial of the charges of the
London Times, in which the discredit-
able agencies of forgery and the suborna-
tion Of witnesses we're shown to have been
resorted to. with the purpose Of fastening
upon him and upon bis colleagues charges
of direct responsibility for the agrarian
crimes in ireland. But however the latest
proceedings concerning Psrnell result the
fact will remain as stated, that they can
have no bearing upon the ultimate disposi-
tion of the Irish questions.

PITTsBURG, SUNDAY, DEC. 9, lSI
ITs FRTENps IN CHARGE

The tenor of the testimony of the manu-
fscturers before the Ways and Means Com
mittee during the week was strongly in
favor of the Senate tariff bill. This will,
with possibly slight notifications, beyond
question, become the Law. With the coun-
try at its highest stage of prosperity, the
Republicans have every encouragement to
stick firmly to their protection principles.
Extreme tarif-reformers and iree-traders
will have to beat the air long while before
they get their theories into favor if the gen.
eral state of business continue healthy and
profitable.
Whatever the changes to be made in
the tariff by the present Congress they will
assuredlY be in line with the idea of
developing and encouraging home indus
tries to the fullest. 1t may require a trial
before what is best, in every instance, can be
known; but it is quite certain that the ex-
periments wlll be inspired mainly by the
protective idea; and that the considerations
of Treasury surplus and revenue. which
dominated Mr.. Cleveland's discussion of
the matter, will be but secondary with the
Republicans.

THE late Frances Lucretia Thomas, widow Of
General Thomas, scarcely entered society at
Washington after her husbands death. She

that time Stanley has grown faster than Jeffer-

THE latest news from Mentone is to the
effect that Rev. c. H. Spurgeon is suffering
acutely from rheumatism, so much so that his
case is exciting some anxiety. His throat is
now attacked and it is feared. even at the best,
that his magnificent voice will be irreparably
injured.
CHARLES MACKAY, whose death has been
announced, was a voluminous author. Ascore
or more of books of poetry and prose we're pub

remembered for his Humanitarian lyrics such
as Cheer. Boys Cheer" and 'Tnere's Good

sentative Chaedle, of Indiana. is born kicker.
Though Republican, he is the most persistent
opponent of pensions in the House. He is now
the man celebrated for defeating the Republic

An Empty CONN Buried in Order to Get
Life Insurance Money.
SYRACUSE, December 2S.-Some days ago
the story came from Canandaigua that George
7. Reddington, former resident OF that place,
had been discovered in an insane asylum in
the West The idea conveyed was that he was
the victim of some conspiracy. Information
has reached here from Syracuse, Kan, that
Reddington did go West and took up a claim
near Lakin, Kearney county. He passed as a
single man. Some time in June. 1887. he, with
August Shurman, VIM. f. Ringle and Samuel
Morehart, who occupied adjoining claims. ar
ranged to have his life insured in different COM
panies for about sl4.0O0 The four men were to
contribute equally to the payment of the ex-
pense, then Reddington was to feign death, the
policies were to be collected by his co-conspira-
tors, and the proceeds were to be equally di-
vided among the four. The policies were pay
able to Nettie Reddington, the mans wife.
Reddington, to guard against all contingen-
cies wrote TO his mother in Canandaigua, NY.

take any steps in regard to the disposal of the
body. Unfortunately for him, the letter was de-

first It was answered by telegram to have the
body placed in a metallic casket and sent East.
AS the burial had already taken place, the
Coroner was asked to exhume the body. He
found the coffin empty. Reddington, hiding in
the cellar, had been an interested participant
in his own obsequles.N his disapparance led 70
an investigation and the arrest of Shurman and

NOT An ABSOLUTE FOOL.
An English Journals Exalted Opinion Of
George WashIustou.

An Engtten J0ufnaF8 Exniteo OplniOn Of
George WashIuston.
The mention Of anything American generally
has the same effect on the London Saturday
Review as is produced on mad bull by shak-
ing red rag in its face. The Saturday has
recently stumbled on two books just issued
from the press in this eountry-Henry Cabot
Lodges George Washington" +" and Prof. John
Fiske's ''Critical Period Of American History
l7SO- l7S9r-and launches forthwith into seath-
ing review thereof beginning in the following
exhiarating fashion:
These two books are part-a small and not
the worst part-of the stupendous mass Of
writing produced, and in course Of production,
about the brief, and not particularly interest
ing, history of the United States of America.
Mr.. Lodge may, perhaps, take this description
as one more example Of what he calls in his
"Iife of Washington the stupid arrogance of
Englishmen. But we really cannot help it that
American history is dull, consisting for the
most part of easy victories won by rather COM
monplace men, and followed by intensely COM
monplace prosperity. Mr. Lodge Is very angry
rudely enough. that the Yankees were towards,
But, after all, what had the colonists
done in the struggle with France to make En-
glishmen respect their lighting power? Little,
indeed. The brilliant things, such as the expe-
Generals and troops unaided by the colonsts.
We find the same disparity between the claim
made for W ashingtop and the evidence pro-
duced all through Mr.. Lodges book. He is
continually talking of his hero's faculty as q
General and superiority to the stupid English,
and yet when 1t came to actual fighting, Lord
Howe-no genius, certainly-beat him through
and through.
If the English, then, were SO stupid, what
was Washington? We do not say he was stu
pid, being rich enough not TO grudge an ene-
my his praise. and knowing that after all he
won. What we do say is that he was good
man enough to win against very Indifferent
generals Commanding very insufficient armies.
This Is credtable as taras it goes; but it hardly
classes man with Marlborough or Gustavus
Adolpnus At Yorktown Washington had the
help of the French allies. of an overwhelming
superiority of numbers. and of long course OF
luck. OF course, an absolute fool might have
thrown these chances away. Washington did
not, and therefore was not an absolute fool;
but is it SO very great to win the trick when
you hold all the trumps, and your opponent is
a very average player?

put to work for the benefit Of the
community, he declares, In fact the Della
ware whipping post and the Delaware chain
gang are regarded by Judge Fetterman as
wholesome institutions, and there will be
many who will agree with him.
There is an evident need for check upon
the invasion of tramps, from which this
county suffers; there is an evident need for
a more curative form of punishment for the
dIsOrderly losfers who are sent to the work
house once, twice or thrice year, and there
is need apparent and admitted by every
body for better country roads and city
streets. These needs can be supplied by the
simple plan suggested. Surely it is worth
careful consideration.
