An Acute Sense of Smell.

A well-known blind man records that
he said one morning to workman :
"You have had red herring for break
fast, you have smoked a pipe of tobacco,
and you have just lighted fire" AS
the man had carefully washed himself
after lighting the fire and eating break
fast, the blind mans sense of smell
must have been acute to detect all
three odors in succession. "You have
had fish here" said this same blind
man to clerk on entering a store.
The clerk said that they had not, but
on the blind man insisting that there
was the smell of fish in the store, the
clerk remembered that lady had
been in to pay a bill who lived in a
house next door to fish dealers

THE MANAGERS MISTAKE.

The fact that the investigation into the
dishonest practices of Wheat, the postmaster
of the House of Representatives, was closed
BY his dismissal, at the end of the session, in
a way to attract as little attention as
possible, need not have affected the Repub-
lican party very much if it had not been for
the stupid attempt to stick to the partisan
idea which Senator Ingalls, got into epigram-
matte shape, that the worst Republican is
better than the best Democrat, and that,
therefore, every Republican must be shielded
from Democratic criticisms.
The investigation placed it beyond dispute
that Wheat farmed out the work and positions
of the House postotfce for his own profit,
If, upon the discovery or intimation of such
practices. the Republicans had moved for
an investigation, they would have shown
their promptness at Furnishing wrong-doing
in their own party as elsewhere. If they
had taken the course of accepting straight
forward prompt investigation when the
motion was made by Democratic member,
they would have be n much better off than
they now are. They would have had to
take the responsibility of putting corrupt
man in office, but they would have shown
their sincere desire to correct that error the
moh,ent it was known
Unfortunately, however, the fatality that
presides over the recent Republican coun-

FUNDS FOR M'KINLEY.

The reported movement to raise fund
among the Pittsburg manufacturers to aid
Hon. VIM. Mckinley in his uphill fight to
overcome the Democratic majority OF his
gerrymandered district raises discussion as
TO its propriety. In some quarters the inti-
nation is made that the purpose of the
fund is an improper one; while others say
that if the manufacturers wish to contrib
ute to McKinley's expenses they have per-
feet right to do so.
There can be no denial of this right with
but one Limitation. If the manufacturers
who are interested in the protective policy
which Major Mckinley has so gallantly and
successfully championed, should contrib
ute freely to aid him in the legitimate ex-
penses of the campaign it would be not only
within their right, but it would be an ap-
which THE DISPATCH heartily commends.
With all the criticisms that can be made of
the Mckinley policy, it would be entirely
creditable for both sides to have liberal
fund of this sort raised, provided that due
care is taken against the use of any money
for the corruption of voters.
While the legal right OF contributing to
campaign funds is questionable, there is a
public and moral obligation to guard
against the use of money for the purchase
of votes. When SO much is heard of this
evil, it is incumbent on those who give the
money to take due precautions in this re-
spect. Money sent to a Congressional dis
trict only day or two before election could
not be we'll used for legitir ate purpose.
Contributors to campaign funds should see
that no Indications or likelihood of the lille
gitimate use of money accompany their
contributions.
Fortunately, in this case, there is a very
easy way of insuring that the money shall
not be improperly used. Mr.. McKinley's
high character is a warrant against any
vote-buying with his knowledge. If the
manufacturers make it condition of their
fund that their money shall go into his
hands, and be expended only by his ap-
proval. they can be reasonably certain that
they are using their money in manner
above and beyond criticism.

WHY NOT A JOINT DEBATEs

The competition of politics, which the
Western counties OF the State have been
enjoying through the week, will center in
Pittsburg tonight. Candidate Pattison
and his associates will be here in person.
That they will get rousing reception is
sure. Meanwhile the Republican managers
have arranged for big mass meeting to
stir up enthusiasm for Delamater as an off
set,
But why divide the time and make
double tax on the attention OF the public,
when joint debate would answer so hand
somelv! Mr.. Delamater has done great
deal of talking and handshaking; the ex-
Governor is also at home on the stump.
What is the use of following each other
around the country when a few joint debates
or the issues before the people would be
heard with instruction and delight by all?
II the managers of Mr.. Delamater's CAM
paign can be persuaded that the tariff is all
right in Pennsylvania-and, to paraphrase
the old song, we rather think it NAV now be
almost taken for granted that Pennsvl
vania'e heart is ''true to Poll'' on the tariff
there is nothing they could do which would
be so becoming as to issue challenge to the
Democratic candidate 10 discuss the real
issues OF State legislation and executive
policy. 1t is about time to hear something
or these points which are not wholly unre-
lated TO the canvass.
What stands in the way? The ex-Gover-
nor we judge, would not decline full and
fair Olson SSion of his oil aims

THE CONFEREE IMPOsTURE.

The conferee method of nomination is
daily becoming more unsatisfactory and
disreputable. Yesterday the Republican
conferees in the Forty-third Congressional
district met here to nominate State Sena-
tor. They balloted all day without result
and then adjourned sine die, each
eounty's conferees threatening to run
their candidate independently. In the
Twenty-frst district the conference
of the Republican representatives of Arm.
strong, Indiana, Jefferson and Westmore-
land counties made even a worse fist of
their attempt to nominate candidate for
Congress. There was the usual deadlock,
and, despairing of ever breaking it, the con-
ferees delegated their powers to Chairman
Andrews, of the State Committee, to be by
him transferred to a committee of threefep-
utable Republicans residing outside the
district. And this nomination, if it is ever
made by the reputable trio of foreigners,
will represent the will of the Republican
voters in the Twenty-frst district When
will the people smash this outrageous i'm
posture and demand the direct selection OF
the representatives?
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-10-04

sells led them to take steps which looked
more like covering up malfeasance than the
correction of it. First there was an attempt
TO ignore the matter. When the charges
were made SO specific that they could not
be ignored. the attempt was continued by
spreading the investigation over the terms
of previous Congresses with the inferential
allegation that the practices of which
Wheat was guilty were established by Gus
tom. This assertion was proved to be ut
terly unfounded; and when the testimony
left no room fer any course but 10 turn
Wheat out, the House managers had put
themselves in the unfortunate position of
not only letting dishonest man get an i'm
portant place, but of trying to dodge the
duty of exposing and Furnishing him.
This will add another to the list of mat
ters in which the Republican leaders have
painstakingly placed themselves in false
position before the people at the coming
election. An intelligent partisanship would
see the necessity, solely in the interest of
party, in taking the lead in the punishment
of dishonesty.

AN EFFECTIVE RIDER,

One of the features of the bids for the new
naval vessels, just made public, will call at
tention to the success with which business en-
terprise can be directed into the channels of
making money by means of an effective bit
of legislative work. This appears from the
extremely sure thing which the Union Iron
Works, of San Francisco, have in securing
contracts to build at least one war vessel
without much regard to the cost.
In the appropriation for vessels of the
class OF the Charleston and Atlanta a
clause was inserted requiring one vessel of
that class to be built on the Pacific coast
This was justified on the ground that the
cruiser would be needed on the Pacific
Ocean, and that it would be as cheap to
carry the materials there and put them to-
rether as TO sail the vessel there. While
this claim was not supported by authentic
figures, the fact that the San Francisco bid
on the earlier vessels only exceeded the
Eastern bid by some $50, ,0O0 or $50 900, gave
it enough color to escape challenging. The
industrious California Representatives kept
the same conditions in the naval appropris-
tions. They thus secured the same concern
tine construction of the San Francisco, but
in the bids lust submitted, the operation of
the rule receives its highest illustration. AL
though the San Francisco firm bid is $500, 900
more on the protected cruiser, and $50, 900
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-10-04

more on each battle ship than the bid of the
Cramps, they are sure to get one of the YES
sells, because the law requires the vessel to
be built on the Pacific coast. There is an
appearance of competition in a bid from
another Pacific coast concern; but the un-
erring accuracy with which the latter bidder
makes the highest bid on the list creates a
suspicion as to its being anything more than
a covering for the certainty which the first
concern has, under that California bit of
legislation, of getting the job of building at
least one vessel at its own figures.
OF course the pretense of economy in this
case is entirely wanting. To allege that it
would cost $4,000 to take a vessel from
Philadelphia to the Pacific Ocean would be
wholly ridiculous. Such result of that
legislative rider exposes in the light of
measure to secure fat contracts for an influ-
ential San Francisco concern without the
restriction of actual competition.

In your agitations for public improvements
why not advocate the cutting down of the
hump? Another needed improvement is a new

this. There should be wall of stone all along
the river front, from the Point to Sharpsburg
bridge, from the Point to Braddock and from
McKee's Rocks to q point opposite Braddock
All along this wall there should be fine street.
about 200 feet wide lined with about four rows
of shade trees, with fountains and monuments
all along. A tripartite bridge at the point,
without any piers in the river, or, one pier in
the river, and that a tower or fine monument.
In future no bridge should be bnilt over our
rivers costing less than 81, 100000
Certain sections of city should be cleared
of dwellings, and given over to the most proper
purposes. There should be manufacturing
section, commercial section, residence Sec
tion, etc. In fact, there should be a recon-
structive reform.
The future of the city ana the whole country
should be considered Pennsylvania. in 100
years from now, mayEhave 100, ,00O 600 inhabit-
