BEER AND PATRIOTISM.

There is a painful rumor afoat to the
effect that a number of Brooklyn brewers
have banded together to fight the British
syndicate which is said to have bought up
number Of American breweries. What
form the antagonistie movement is to take is
not clearly indicated. There is talk of a
boycott, and cabalistic inscriptions upon the
beer kegs, and awful warnings to the drink
ers of beer. Itis to be patriotic American
league of course, though strange to say most
of the patriots have singularly Teutonic
names, and its aim will be to impress the
beer-drinking public all over the country
with the impious and reasonable character
of the British beer syndicate. We hail the
movement with gladness, for nothing can be
less to be desired than the encouragement of
bloated, not to say blarsted, Britishers pre-
suming to brew beer in this country, which
one hundred years ago and more dismissed
the lion and the unicorn with contumely.
And yet we foresee trouble ahead for the
patriots in the beer business of Brooklyn
It is a fact that the strictest American is
not apt to mix politics, domestic or foreign,
with his beer or his whisky. He may take
little water with the latter, but as rule
he takes both beverages straight. Nor is he
particular what the nationality, religion,
disposition or complexion of the brewer or
distiller may be, SO long as the article he
sells is palatable and pure. So if the alleged
British syndicate-tor we have our doubts
about the origin of the money used in form
ing these syndicates-wish to checkmate
their patriotic opponents, they need do no
more than sell good beer at reasonable fig
ures and the American public will buy it.
If the Brooklyn brewers want to drive their
alleged British foes out of business let them
brew better beer and sell it at lower prices
than the latter can.

IMPARTIALITY IN POLITICS.

1t is rather interesting to observe, in the
controversy as to who shall be the next post
master of Pittsburg, certain similarity be-
tween the names of the supporters of one
candidate and those who have indorsed the
other. One gentleman states that he is
backed, among Others, by all the city officials,
all the Pennsylvania Railroad officials,
Sheriff McCandless, all the County Com
missioners and Clerk of Courts McGunnigle.
On the other hand, the lists of the other can
didate contain such names as A. E. Nc
Candless, d. K. McGunnigle, R. E. Mercer,
William McCallin, Thomas II. Watt and
perhaps others who might seem to be in
cluded in the classes claimed by the first
contestant. This resemblance may be due
to the fact that one candidate has their sup
port officially and the other their personal
Endorsement, enabling strict impartiality
to be observed between the candidates. 1t
may mean that both gentlemen are regarded
as highly eligible for the postofice; or,
finally, it may signify the exact value of
signatures to political petitions.

been President" and it is asserted that
when he tried to discuss public issues seri-
ously people would laugh at it under the
suspicion that a joke was intended. The
moral of which is that if man desires to
make a name for craftsmanship, he must
never be witty.
Against this effort to abolish humor from
public affairs we enter our protest, both on
account of its disastrous results and its en-
tire inaccuracy. There are too many public
characters already who imagine that great
reputation is to be won by maintaining a
solemnity equal to that of owls, without
adding to their number by the establishment
of an unwritten law, that no public man
can ever win success who jokes. The Guilt
walton of that idea would reduce public
affairs to condition of weary, stale and fiat
sameness beyond endurance.
Moreover the idea is totally unfounded.
Since so much is made of Mr.. Cox's case, it
is necessary to say that he never rose to a
position of serious leadership because his
treatment of serious subjects was essentially
light. He was genial, ready, quick and
sometimes logical; but he had not the earn
estness and profound convictions which
make a leader of men on great issues.
Against his case may be placed the career
of our greatest leader in modern times. No
one will now deny Mr.. Lincoln's statesman
ship; yet he was as ready to give way to
humor as Mr.. Cox ever was. The difference
lay in the fact that Mr.. Lincoln was also
able to show the grasp and comprehension
of the serious issues.
If a statesman has humor, he need not be
afraid that it will prevent him from secur-
ing recognition of far more serious abilities,
provided he can show them. If he has the
humor only, and is able to bring only the
light and airy qualities into the issues of
politics, he should not be deferred from thus
modifying the acerbities of political con-
tests by the knowledge that it is the best
he can do

THE NEW OIL FIELD.

The strike of an SOO-barrel oil we'll in the
CHARTERS Valley, only little distance out
side the city limits of Pittsburg, possibly
indicates new Importance for the recently
developed field. While, of course, the one
large well does not determine the size or
permanence of the field, well of such force
indicates that there must be a considerable
deposit of oil in that vicinity. The pres
ence of a rich field of crude petroleum so
near the city should give new stimulation to
the refining industry, Of which years ago
Pittsburg was one of the leading centers
It is worthy of notice that with field SO
close not only to existing refneries but to
sites for new ones, and with the benefit of
railroad and river competition for the trans
portation both of crude and refined, it will
be difficult for the Standard to get such a
grin on this field, if it proves of any magni-
tude, as to choke off independent refining.
The further development of the new field
will be watched with interest, as it NAV
prove an important contributor to the
wealth of Piltsburg.

PITTsBURG, THURSDAY, OCT. IL, IS
A FAMILIAR PROMISE.

The public is once more favored with the
announcement that the new 36-inth main to
the gas fields will be completed about the
opening OF next month, and that thereafter
no more complaints will be possible con-
cerning the shortage of gas.
This is good news, and gas consumers will
earnestly hope that the day of abundant gas
NAV be hastened. But is there not a certain
sameness about the announcement? If we
remember correctly, at the time thatthe short
age first appeared, a similar statement was
made with the difference that then the hope
was held out for abundant gas within day
or two. Now, after the lapse of three weeks,
the promised relief is still three weeks
distant. That rate of progress backward
NAV create fear that when December is
reached the opening of the new main may
be put off till next spring.
1t is not with any spirit of fault-fnding,
but for the sake of urging the most reliable
business conduct, that we desire to impress
upon the gas companies the necessity of
observing two rules: First, to let the public
know exactly what it can expect; and, Sec
ond, to make no more contracts than they
can fill.

v. g. M. Slatferly Advises the brotherhood
to FiRht Shy of Relief Schemes.
81. PAUL, October 16-The important feat.
ures Of this mornings session of the Brother
hood of Railway Brakemen, were the officers
reports, which were read in detail, They were
all in the nature of reviews, containing some
suggestions. The smost important recommen-
dations, however. were made by Vice-Grand
Master slattery, of Butte. First of all,
he was in favor of changing the
name of the order TO the Brother
hood Of Railway Trainmen." Reason for this
Is found in the fact that at least one-third of
the membership is made up Of conductors
taggagemen, ana Others so that the present
title is no longer distinctive or popular. It is
more than likely that this Recommendation
will be carried out, as the motion is popular
Mr.. Slattery also advocates State unions, to be
held annually under the supervision of the
Grand Master, and called attention TO the
relief schemes that are Just now being pushed
forward by several leading railroads, such as
the Philadelphia and Reading, Baltimore and
Ohio Pennsylvania and Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy, recommending that the Brother
hood let them alone, "as they are only a snare
to draw you on and make you slave to your
employer"
Grand Secretary and Treasurer O'Shea's re-
port gave valuable statistics concerning the
growth and state of the order. The general
fund shows balance 81, 500 95, and the bene-
fciary fund reserve OF $464 30.

THE EXPOSITIONs EFFECT.

The interviews with number of our lead
ing merchants on the effect of the Exposi-
tion in enhancing their trade, testify to the
value of that institution. The interests COW
cred by this information do not include some
of the branches such as the hotels, restau-
rants and railways, all of which have done
a rushing business. But the expressions of
the leading retail merchants leave no doubt
that material and gratifying enlargement
of their traffic has been produced by the new
institution.
Yet such statements do not give a full
idea of all that the Exposition does, and
still less of what it should be made to do.
We take it that the greatest value of such
an enterprise to place like Pittsburg is in
spreading the general reputation of the city
and giving it such fame that trade may
come here months after the Exposition
has closed. In its direct effects it
our manufacturing interests. We hardly
think that there is yet full appreciation
of the possibilities of such an insti-
tuition in displaying the peculiar features
and most striking products of Pittsburg's
manufacturing interests so that its fame
shall not be confined to any local circle of
500 miles radius. The development of these
possibilities would not only spread the repu-
tation of the city, but would act as stim-
illus on our industries for turning out the
best and most valuable productions.
However that may be, it is comfortable
fact that the first Exposition has not only
won financial success for itself, but has in
creased the trade of Pittsburg. This will
insure renewed efforts and an expanded field
of usefulness for the future

BROOKLYN HAS OUR BLESSING.

The boast of New Workers is that Brook
lyn is part of their city, and the boast has
solid foundations of fact. The Rev. 7. De
Witt Talmage is the last man to offer his
testimony to the truth of the assertion. He
lives in Brooklyn, and it was his church,
the Brooklyn Tabernacle, which was burned
the other day. From Brooklyn he has is
sued an appeal to the whole country for
money to rebuild his church. To be sure
he has S130,000 insurance money, but he
wants more. The members of his church
may be slow about subscribing to the fund,
and DR.. Talmage appeals to the United
States to help him out. Nobody but New
Yorker would do this. The cry may come
from the city across the East river, but the
spirit behind it belongs to the city of unfin-
ished monuments and decaying Exposition
projects.
Will the people of all the States and
Territories be accommodated with sittings
in the new tabernacle? Will their railroad
fares to and from DR.. Talmage's church be
paid by him or the church trustees? We
trow not. But they are asked blandly to
send in their pennies and their bank notes
to aid an immensely wealthy congregation
in erecting for its own use superb temple.
The spirit of mendicancy which pervades
the atmosphere of the biggest city in the
Union has inspired less worthy appeals, but
never one more unnecessary than this from
Brooklyn. If DR.. Talmage and his con-
gregation want to build church to cost
more than S13O,OOO, by all means let them
get together and raise as much as they
please. The rest of the country will bid
them godspeed. And that is about all that
can be required of the country.
