The anniversary of the actual date of the
landing Of the Pilgrims on Plymouth Rock
would have been scarcely less suspicious for
the dedication of the Plymouth monument than
yesterday proved to be. Like good part of
the rest of the country, Plymouth was the vic
tim of severe storm, the streets were sloughs
of mud, and the tent in which the exercises
took place was far from adequate protection
from the pelting rain. Nevertheless, the pro-
gramme was fairly well carried out, and the
attendance was satisfactorily large.

Compromises where principles are involved
are often to be deplored. Such is certainly the
case with the compromise made regarding a
liquor law in the Rhode Island Legislature.
Finding the Democratic House immovable, the
Republican Senate has yielded the points for
which it contended but it yielded only be-
cause the other alternative appeared TO be no
liquor legislation whatever. The result leaves
,he liquor question still an important political
factor, and it will probably play large part
in the canvass preceding the election Of the

here. When a Pittsburger is hoodooed
there is no mistaking the fact. There are
certain plain and easily recognized symp-
toms. The sufferer usually takes to betting
on the Pittsburg Baseball Club when it is
on one of its periodical rushes to disaster.
He goes out of town for rest In time to be
caught in a food and nearly drowned. II
he starts to Rock Point with his church pic
mic, his rival monopolizes his best girl, his
new summer suit is ruined by unlooked-for
rain, and the train home is wrecked. No
undertaking of his turns out well. If he
buy gas stocks for rise they are the only
ones in the list to tumble. A lover of the
East End, he is sure to live in Sewickley.
Every circumstance tells against him, and
all the forces of nature and man seem to be
arrayed in hostility to him.
The hoodooed Pittsburger has only one
resort. Let him flee to Chicago and change
his luck. He can then safely return to
Pittsburg and live there in peace and hap
piness all his days.

THE QUESTION OF LIABILITY.

The commencement of suit in this county
against the South Fork Club by the heirs
of a man who lost his life at Johnstown,
promises that the question of liability for
that disaster will be brought before the
courts here as we'll as in Cambria county.
Together with the suit already reported
from Johnstown it seems likely that this
important issue will be brought to an early
trial
Whatever radical differences may exist as to
the question of civil liability, it is obviously
for the interest of all parties that it should
be authoritatively settled. Either there is
liability on the part of the owners of the
dam or there is not, and it is justice that
the parties on both sides should have it
settled by judicial authority which is the
case. We presume that the two cases al
ready begun will be taken as test cases, and
that other suits will be held in allegiance
until they are finally decided.
This test of the question is also inevitable.
So long as it remains undecided, the un-
certainty must be preiudicial to all who are
affected by it The sooner it is tested to q
final decision the better for all concerned.

DIVIDING PROFITS ALL AROUND.

An example of the wild combination
schemes, or the wild reports about them,
that are produced by the trust period,
is afforded by a statement that ''the
wholesale grocers of the United States have
formed an association with the object of
compelling manufacturers to divide profits
with them" If the manufacturers are fools
enough to do this, the next thing, of course,
will be for the retail grocers to form associa-
tions and make the wholesale grocers divide
profits. After which, as this division of
profits will necessitate the addition of extra
profits to the price paid by consumers, the
public will have to form associations re-
quiring the retail grocers to divide profits
with consumers-or else the resort will be
tried of starting new groceries. When this
is done, it will be seen that the manufact-
urers could have done the same thing in the
first place-if that very Obvious fact is not
perceived at the start.

UNCERTAIN MOUNTAINS.

A rather interesting fact in geography is
pointed out by the New York Sun, namely,
that no one knows exactly in what country
two of the famous mountain SUBMITS OF the
world are located. Singularly enough, in
regard to the most famous of all, the geog-
raphers of France and Italy cannot agree as
to whether the actual crest Of Mont Blanc is
in one country or the other. The English
also claim that Mount st. Elias, which we
have tondly supposed to belong to our pos
sessions in Alaska, has been travelling
eastward during the last few years.
An English explorer, who visited the noun
tain two years ago, asserts his reasons for
the belief that tie summit is located in the
territory of the British lion and not of the
American eagle; while Mr.. Dali, our lead
ing authority on Alaska, takes the opposite
view.
Perhaps the English view might be
strengthened by claiming, not that the
mountain has been moving eastward, but
that our possessions have been moving west
ward. 1nasmuch as we have recently
claimed that the line of Alaska extends
over the whole of Behring Sea, it seems to
be possible, as an effort of international
logic, to assert that since our Alaska posses
sions have been expanded so much to the
west, there should have been a slightly cor
would be just like the obstinate Britons to
object to our taking in oceans and mountains

THE RIGHT oF CONFERENCE.

The intelligence that the failure of the
employers to meet the workingmen of the
coke industry in conference upon the scale
of wages for the ensuing year, will be re-
garded as unfortunate intelligence by all
who remember the suffering and disorder
which have attended wages disputes lin this
interest. The outside public is hardly in a
positjen to judge of the details Of the wages
question; but few will find it hard to per-
ceiye that il was plain right of the en-
ployes to demand and receive a conference.
They form one of the parties to the contract
which is to be formed by the acceptance of
the scale; and their right to have their argu-
ments heard and to hear the arguments is
one of the clearest equities in the case. The
employers can hardly expect any degree of
public sympathy when they refuse to meet
their employees and submit the question to
reason

ECONOMIC ILLOGICALITIEs.

Our always esteemed, but sometimes
rather haphazard, free-trade cotemporary,
the Philadelphia Record, takes the memorial
of certain New England iron manufactur-
ers as a demonstration of the evils of pro-
lection. The complaint of the New England
iron interests is that Pennsylvania and
Western concerns are enabled to compete
with the New England factories on their
own field. This the Record explains by
the fact that the New England manu-
facturers have to paw duty of 75c per ton
on coal and iron ore; and the same view is
held by the New England concerns, mas
much as they ask removal of those duties.
But the failure of the free-trade logic to
apply to this case is apparent in a number
of ways. In the first place, the Massachu-
setts manufacturers are not compelled to
bear any greater share of the duties on ore
and coal than the manufacturers of other
States. In the next place, if, in place of
protection, an absolutely free-trade or reve-
nue. tariff were adopted, the condition of the
New England manufacturers would not be
improved. They would discount the case of
the man in the parable, for. without casting
out the devil of domestic competition. seven
other devils in the shape of foreign competi-
ton would enter in and prove worse than
the first
The New England manufacturers are
careful not to ask for anything of that sort.
In fact their position carries the theory of
protection farther than any ultra-protection-
ist has heretofore gone. They regard it as
ground for complaint that manufacturers in
the United States can make iron more
cheaply than they can and thus sell in New
England, which they consider they own as
their market. The national doctrine is that
the markets of the entire country belong to
the manufacturers of the country, wherever
they may be located, who can supply them
cheapest. For the enhancement of their own
protection the New Englanders ask for the
removal and reduction of duties on raw
materials; but they are careful not to sug-
gest any reduction of duty on their products.
The iron works of Pennsylvania could
view the removal of duties on ore and coal
with the utmost equanimity; but when
theory that the market of New England be-
longs exclusively to New England iron
works is adopted by a free-trade organ, it is
necessary to put in protest against the out
rage upon consistency.

PITTsBURG. MONDAY, JULY %, 1859.
THE WORK AT JoHNsToWN.

The views of Johnstown two months
after the disaster, given by our staff cor
respondence, may cause some disappoint-
ment over the apparently slight improve
ment that has been effected. This is, per-
haps, natural, if the previous reports OF
progress produced roseate views of the re-
haDilitation of the town. But it was hardly
to be expected that much more would be
accomplished than is shown to have been
done.
The obvious work Of relief was to keep
the Johnstown people from the addition of
starvation to the other horrors from which
they had suffered; to fight off the danger of
disease from the ruined condition of the
town, and to do what was possible in the
way of clearing up the streets and starting
the people in their task of rebuilding. This
wo-k is shown by the report to have
been we'll done in the main. Errors
of Judgment have undoubtedly been COM
mitted. The boomer houses" which were
intended only for temporary shelter, are
said to have proved of little value; which
makes it matter of congratulation that the
people have been able to get something
better. But in the fact that the people of
Johnstown have been guarded from the
evils of starvation and epidemic, the work
of relief has justified itself, with the proviso,
of course, that the final accounts shall show
all the money to have been strictly applied
to the relief work.
OF course criticisms and fault-fnding are
to be expected, as The DISPATCH has
heretofore pointed out. But, the urgent
relief work having been done, the existence
of these criticisms should emphasiz. the
wisdom of turning over the unexpended
relief funds to the organization of the
Johnstown people themselves.
