securing and maintaining speed of 100
miles an hour, or probably more; but the
capitalist is here intimidated. Higher speed
costs money for initial and operative ex.
penses in vastly higher ratio than either in
crease of speed or the returns to be expected
on capital so invested. Our fastest trains
do not directly pay even now, when the
wear and tear of engines, ears, roadbed and
bridges are considered. When the people
want higher speeds and need them so greatly
as to be able and willing to pay for them
the engineers will construct and the rail-
roads will furnish trains of still higher We
locity and of still greater safety.
1t is probably true, moreover, that the
travelling public, if canvassed, would pre-
fer a greater punctuality than usually pre-
walls now in the running of trains. and q
general application of the safeguards and
conveniences at present confined to few
high priced and limited expresses, to the
raising of speed to double the maximum
maintained by the fast trains Of to-day. For
speed. comfort and safety the American
trains covering long distances are easily
ahead of all others in the world, but there
are matters more important than mere saw
ing of time which should receive the atten-
tion of railroad managers.

WORK OF PHILANTHROPY

That Has Fallen Into Energetic Hands
With the Children's Aid Society.
Phllanthropic ladies, whose labor in the past
| has given happiness to any number of little
| orphans and whose contemplated efforts will
continue giving happiness to the homeless and
the friendless, assembled yesterday after
noon, when the board of directors of
the Children's Aid Society of Western Penn
sylvania held its regular quarterly meeting
in the Free Dispensary building, on Sixth ave-
Mrs. Parker Blood, Jefferson county; Mrs A.
H. Wallace. Mrs. DR.. Woodburn, Mrs. A.
Aston and Mrs. ]. R. Darragh, of Allegheny
county; Mrs. i. H. Frampton, Clarion county;
Mrs. Sue Willard, Indiana county; Mrs. George
Arnold, Clarion county; Mrs. ]. G. Benton,
Crawford county; Mrs. Theo W. Knox, Greene
county; Mrs. R. NJ: streetor, Crawford county:
and Mrs. H. G. Campbell, Secretary Of
the society. The most important feat
nre n,nor OF l. we Yesterdays meeting was was
county. She recommended that the auxiliary
| societies in the different counties in the west
ern part of the State maintain one or more
homes, to be used as places of transit for the
| nursing of the sick and preparatory training of
| children who seem inclined TO viciousness.
| Mrs Streetor recommended that the commit
tee on legislation of the society petition the
State Legislature for an appropriation to estab-
| lish these homes. The cost of such homes she
said, need not exceed an average of $500 per
| year to maintain them. One hundred
| dollars OF this money would go
for the rental of the building, and the balance
I for the board of one or more children. These
homes she stated. should be made interchange
| able so they could aid each other in cases
| where the expenses of a home should exceed
| the average.
Mrs. Mary P. Samson. the Actuary of the so.
| ciety, stated that II children had been placed
in homes since the last meeting, and that there
| were applications for 81 more. Mrs. Samson
| also stated that the society had under its care
at present Y boys whose ages run from month
| to IL years, for whom homes have not yet been
| found. 1t seems that the demand for girls is
much greater than for boys and in consequence
| OF which the society has an unusual number OF
| boys in charge at present.
After the actuary's report had been presented
| to the board, and adopted. the annual report of
the meeting of the State Board Of Charities, at
| Lancaster, was discussed. The board also dis
| cussed the question in re gard to the appropria-
tion of $1,000 for the establishment of homes
and defraying the expenses of the society
which the Committee on Legislation has
petitioned the State Legislature for.
Mrs. Margaret McC. Price, treasurer of the
society, presented her report which showed a
| balance of S596 81 in her charge. The expenses
of the society during the quarter were 81, lS2 43

The Name of an Author Wanted.

To the Editor OF The Dispatch:
Nearly so years ago read, in country news
paper a poem entitled The Death Dream OF
Arnold" I do not know who wrote 1t, nor
have 1 ever met with it since. A few frag-
ments, including one entire stanza, OF 1t remain
in my memory, by which it may be idenrined.
The poem commences:
THE traitor dreamsl Life's feeble light
Is on its Pickering wane,
And shadows dark as deep midnight
Are lowering in his brain"
The commencement of the Revolution Is in
troduced:
''The scene is changed, and Lexington
Echoes battle CRY. .
That hurls at England's tyrants throne"
The flight of Arnold from America In
British vessel is thus described;
"And now the Iivid lightnings leaping come,
And flash across his vessels path,
And rolls the direful thunder drum
OF Heavens ayenging wrath.
And now thousand yultures gnaW MS nesrt,
And gazing fiends his curtains part
With wild unearthly glare!
Against the sky scaffold looms;
A hideous wailing slowly booms,
And Andres shrieking spectre comes
High dangling in the air!'
The concluding lines of the poem represent
the morning sun falling ON the dead BODY Of
the traitor:
"O'er every hill and stream and dell,
And on a couch its gleamings fell
Revealing features grim as hell
And dreadful to behold"
Can any of your readers tell me who wrote
the:poem and where it may be found7

A WEAK FIRE ESCAPE LAW.

The responsibility for the loss of two lives
in the Penn avenue, fire early yesterday
morning cannot be assigned until the Coro-
ner's inquest has determined the facts. But
nothing is needed to establish the urgency
for better enforcement of the law govern
ing the erection of fire escapes. The law in
question is one of those loosely constructed
acts OF Assembly that define the ofense and
the attendant penalties with infinite eI-
actness, but make no provision for the
prosecution of offenders. In this case the
act provides that suitable outside fire
escapes shall be affixed to all buildings of
more than three stories, under severe penal
ties of fine and imprisonment. The Board
of Fire Escapes has undertaken to warn
those who have diEregarded this law, but no.
body seems 20 have felt called upon to pros
ecute persistent offenders. 1t is not the
specified duty of any city or State official
apparently to enforce the law until human
lives have been sacrificed by its violators.
In other words, when it is too late to make
the humane purpose of the law effective, the
penalties mentioned in the act are collected.
The law should be made operative at the
earliest opportunity. If the view taken by
the city officials is correct, that a fire must
occur and lives be lost before they can act,
the Legislature should add clause con-
ferring the power to enforce the law upon
come suitable officer. Till that can be done
we should think the Board Of Fire Escapes
might strain point to compel the owners

PITTsBURG. FRIDAY, DEC. 5. 1880
STATE REyENUE LAWS.

A system Of taxation suited TO the diver
sifed interests of State like Pennsylvania
is somewhat difficult to devise. A system
that will be satisfactory to the various classes
affected is utterly impossible. But 1t ought
not to be difficult for the Legislature which
will convene in January to formulate and
pass more equitable law on this subject
than the general revenue act now In force.
From the incomplete data at hand it
would seem that the Revenue Commission,
which completed its labors in Philadelphia
last night, has formulated a very fair
scheme and bill greatly superior to any
ever enacted in this Commonwealth. The
majority of the commission recommends a
combination of taxes upon incomes exceed
ing $500 per annum and real property.
Particular stress is laid upon the desira-
bility of an income tax to lay the heaviest
of the burden on those best able is bear it,
and the commission expresses the belief that
eventually all revenues will be raised from
taxing incomes. ArgumentatiVe facts in
support of this idea are not wanting. The
recent railroad deals furnish an example
OF the awful power of unchecked growth of
wealth.
But the diversity of opinion to be met
on this subject is evidenced by the submis-
sion. along with the majority report of four
other reports. Three of these are by men,
bers of the commission. One of them at
least, Auditor General McCammant's, takes
positive ground against any tax whatever
on incomes. This is the extreme view of the
wealthy corporate rulers. Prof. Bolles and
Mr.. Wright have views ranging between
those of Mr.. Cammant and the majority of
the commission. The fourth report embodies
the single tax views of the late Victor E.
Piolett, probably submitted st the instiga-
tion of Farmer Leonard Rhone.
There will, no doubt, be pretty fight in
the Legislature over these various reports.
The old influences will be at work as
formerly, and it will be found that the
wealthy few will be much more strongly
represented in the lobby than the poor
masses. But it may be hoped that some
measure will be passed that will improve on
the present condition of affairs and that it
will not be lost, or stolen, as the bill of 1887
was.

THE ARGENTINE CRASH.

The financial disturbance which has
shaken the markets of the world, and i'm
paired credit that had withstood the storms
of more than century, began in the Argen-
tine Republic. The causes of the financial
crash in Buenos Ayres have been abund-
antiY shown heretofore, but it seems won
derful that the inevitable result of the reck-
less policy of the Argentine Government
was not foreseen long ago. The signs
seen after the event. Through the
efforts of the Barings and other
European capitalists the Argentine Re
public has enjoyed boom in every direc-
ton. But more than a twelvemontn ago
the customs receipts began to fall off at an
alarming rate. In the first nine months OF
this year the revenue from the customs were
but S29, ,021, ,2O6, or 1915, ,S1S less than fol-
the same period in 1889. There was a de-
crease in immigration of nearly 80 per cent,
and an increase Of emigration of even
larger proportions, and the railroads,
and in fact every kind of bust.
ness in Argentine, languIshed. The
cereal exports alone showed a healthy
growth; a remarkable increase in voIum,
which has been kept up and now is one o
the few redeeming features of the CONNER
cial situation. Under the firm and econom
ical administration of its new President, anC
with the wonderful richness of its resource
the Argentine Republic ought to recover
and its bitter experience may come to b.
considered in the light of blessing.
