PROOF SHOULD BE CALLED FOR.

A report appeared in the afternoon papers
Yesterday that some of the Councilmen pro-
posed to call upon the Chief of the Depart
ment Of Public Safety for the proof of his
assertion that the punishment of crime is
interfered with by Councilmanic influence.
But there was no hint of any such intention
in the proceedings of Councils yesterday.
The city statesmen are notdispose6 to make
the errorof the man who declared: Jones
said | was liar and swindler, and now I'm
going to make him prove it" There is no
desire on the part of the Councilmen that
Mr.. Brown shall prove it. On the other
hand there is an apparent disposition to
eschew any action which might lead to the
production of proof, as supererrogatory, in
discreet and meddlesome. The practical
declaration Of yesterdays meeting is that it
is more profitable and satisfactory to pass
street railroad franchises
Nevertheless, in view of the assertion by
a city official of high standing that Council
men have used their influence to prevent the
punishment of crime it would seem very
pertinent for some representative of the pub
lie to call for the proofs, including the names
of the Councilmen.

NOT THE WAY TO DO IT.

a telegram with reference to the shut
down of the wire-nail mills, which went
into effect yesterday, publishes an opinion
that the shutdown sis tor the purpose of
forcing some of the concerns that have been
cutting prices. to come into the combine. %
This illustrates the extreme haziness which
prevails concerning the details of combina-
tion and restriction of output.
If there are any concerns outside of the
combination that ordered the shutdown,
that step would be the least likely means to
bring them into it. On the contrary it gives
them an additional inducement to retain
their independence. They can continue in
operation, and increase their sales, while
their rivals must lose trade and suffer from
the idleness of their plants. Hardly any
surer way of breaking up a combination
could be found than by placing the loss and
expense of a shutdown on the members
while they have rivals in the field who can
reap all the advantages of the shutdown by
continuing production and taking away the
trade of the combination.
We think it will be found that the wire
nail combination was smart enough to take
all the manufacturers into the fold, before
undertaking to restrict production. Any
other course would make the shutdown the
death warrant of the combination.

A POOR BARGAIN,

A specinl telegram from Washington re-
ports that the representatives of the Louis
lana sugar interests are proposing an alli-
ance with the Pennsylvania iron and steel
interests in order to maintain high tariff
for both. They hope, in this way, to defeat
the very strong demand for the repeal of
the sugar duties, whose chief function at
present is to fortify the Sugar Trust.
1t is to be hoped that the Representatives
of Pennsylvania will not be led into bur-
denlng their cause by tying the millstone of
the sugar duties around its neck. The most
obvious reason agains: such course is ex-
actly the one pro!essed by the Democrats,
who wish to retain the vote OF Louisiana,
that the sugar duties are not protective.
Three-fourths of the sugar supply of the
country is imported, notwithstanding the rs
to so per cent protection that has been i'm
posed for many years, imposing a needless
revenue on the people of about S60 900, 900.
The one place where there is protection in
the sugar tariff is its protection for the
Sugar Trust; and at this late day the Re-
publican party cannot afford to link its
fortunes to the chariot wheels of that
monopoly.
With prices at the point where Pennsyl-
vania can export iron to England, there
would be additional foolishness, because of
its needlessness, if Pennsylvania undertook
a bargain for maintaining the burden of the
sugar tariff upon the whole people.

THE COAL DETERMINATIONS.

The position of the railroads and coal in
terests of this section furnishes remarka-
BILE example of the way in which some OF
the corporate theories actually operate.
When the effect of these theories is exactly
the opposite OF their professed purposes,
the public will be justified in concluding
that there is something wrong either in the
theory or the practice.
In the first place, the group rates on coal
are based on the theory of charging what
the freight will bear. The only argument
in favor of charging the same rate for a haul
Of 100 miles as for one of 130 is that the
freight hauled the longer distance will not
bear greater charge than that carried the
shorter. But, in this case, it has been
shown that the freight which is really un-
able to bear the charge is that mined from
the thin vein within the shorter radius; and
yet the railroads do nothing to correct the
inequality.
An even more remarkable illustration of
the emptiness of railroad theories is pro-
duced by the recent disclosures of the dis
elimination against Pittsburg coal and in
favor of the Hooking Valley. The exist
ence OF the railroad combinations is
based on the profession of secur-
ing equitable rates and making
all the members of the combination adhere
to the prescribed rates. The Central Traffic
Association rests its right to exist on the
promise of maintaining equal rates and the
adhesion of all the railroads in their district
to the tariffs agreed upon. Yet it has just
come out that for the past year the Hooking
Valley roads have been carrying coal to the
lakes at a cut of 25 cents, and the Central
Traffic Association has never seen fit to
make the slightest objection to it. OF
course to carry Hooking Valley coal some
$50 miles for 65 cents per ton, and Pittsburg
coal 130 to 100 miles at 80 or 95 cents means
that Pittsburg shall sell no coal until the
Hooking Valley has disposed of its output.
Such an adjustment of rates is the grossest
discrimination between localities. II it
were done only by the individual roads, it
might not be chargeable to the whole inter-
est. But when it is enforced under the rule
OF the combination which prevents the
Pittsburg roads from competing with each
other, the combination is justly chargeable
for the turning OF its professed fairness into
the rankest Injustice

Judge Simonton Defers Unwillingly to the
Supreme Courts Decision.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,
HARRISBURG, March 10-The Supreme Court
having been asked to compel Judge Simonton
by mandamus, to approve the bond of Jonas
Swab who was elected Tax Collector of Wash
ington township, this county, and that tribunal
having demanded the reasons for the action, the
Judge to-day approved the bond with the state
ment that in his opinion the act of June 25, 1885
so far as it proposes to regulate the collection
of State and county taxes in boroughs ami
townships, is unconstitutional, for the reason
that it is in conflict with the Constitution be-
cause its title, its provisions concerning the
election of collectors the method of collection,
the deduction for prompt payment and the i'm
position of penalty for neglect to pay, all re-
these do not embrace the whole of the terri
torial limits of the authority levying the county
and State taxes in Dauphin county, WI fch has
within its limits a city containing n -, than
one.third of the whole population of the county.
Judge Simonton adds: THE bonds of the col
lectors elected in boroughs and townships are
required to be approved by. and filed in the
the same tax in the city would be appointed by
the County Commissioners, by whom tine bonds
of the collectors would have to be approved
For this and other reasons / believed and still
believe, that the act in question is unconstitu-
tional if applied to the collection of State and
sideration that the act may be so construed as
to apply only to such taxes as are local within
each borough and township not including State
and county tax, and. that as SO construed i5 is
and has been so decided by the Supreme Court
to be constitutional, have approved the bond"

THE WORLDS FAIR BILL.

The subcommittee bill on the Chicago
Worlds Fair seems to meet the require
ments in way to silence the criticisms that
have been made concerning Chicago course.
1t provides for the progress of the work
under national authority when Chicago
shall have raised an actual capital of
S., 600, coo with pledges of $4,000, 600 more.
This capital is ample and if raised promptly
should permit the operations to go on at
once. The appropriation for the Govern
ment exhibit is fixed at 81, SOC, 600, which is
the nations full share of the expense ae-
cording to the original and definite under
standing. With regard to the postpone
ment till 1S93 that should be left at the
option OF the commission, to hold it in 1892
i the work can be done, or to postpone it if
a creditable exposition cannot sooner be
secured. There are twenty-eight months
before the fair need be opened in 1892; and
if loolins with the matter is stopped and
WORK begun in earnest, very creditable
exposition may be got ready by that TING.

HAYTI IN HOT WATER.

Sooner or later the Haytian Republic will
be in trouble again. The war which ended
few months ago in the victory of Hippo
made Hayti an arena for revolutions since
the end of the last century. The only hope
apparently FOR Hayti is that she may pass
into the hands OF some strong Government
able and willing to rule with justice and for
Hayti's real interests. That the Haytian
blacks are unable to govern themselves has
been proven very clearly since they began
to try to do so.
This is not entirely the fault of the Afri-
can population, who are descended from the
slaves imported by the Spaniards at the
opening of the sixteenth century, to
take the place of the two mil
lion of aborigines whom Columbus
found there and civilization wiped out of
existence. Hayti's history tells of nothing
but the cruelty, rapacity and senselessness
of the Spaniards, French and English, who
in turn held the island. 1t was simply a
haven for adventurers until the colored
population, inspired by the French Revo-
luton, threw off the bonds of slavery. In
1904 Hayti was for the first time an inde-
pendent State,a privilege gained after much
bloodshed. Republics, kingdoms, dictator
ships and every variety of form of govern
ment, have fiourished in Hayti for longer
or shorter, principally shorter, periods DUR
ing the last ninety years. Most of the rulers
have met violent ends. The assassin's s
knife is still great deal more powerful
there than the ballot box. Hlppolyte
stands very little chance of escaping the
fate of most of his predecessors. The Hay
tians are content to take a revolution when
it comes as natural product of their lux
uriant land. Nature is so bounteous in
that tropical region that the inhabitants do
not know work as necessity. They have
no desire to make labor's acquaintance
either. 1t is pitifuI picture of people
placed in paradise endeavoring to make it
a very hell on earth.

COSTLY INJUSTICE.

4 statement is made with regard to the
LIE Coney trial in New Jersey, that it cost
the State $4,000 to try the man who was
acquitted of the charge of numbering his
niece. That is even more forcibly supple
mented by the statement that it cost the ac-
cused man nearly all the property that he pos
sessed to establish his innocence. The two
facts together certainly furnish a striking
example of the injustice and wrong that can
result IRON the costliness of law.
There is saying in defense of the expen-
sive variety of litigation that cheap justice
is generally injustice. If that were so, it
would be an impeachment upon our civili-
zatiOn, that it cannot provide justice for the
common people that will be economical and
impartial. More than that, the saying fails
to make out the case from the fact that
costly justice is by its very nature injustice.
1t gives the rich man a vital advantage over
the poor one, in every branch of litigation;
and in a case like that of LIE Coney it
infiets the most grotesque wrong under the
pretense Of maintaining public right Any
one can be falsely accused of crime: but that
the man who is falsely accused of crime
must lose all his modest earnings in order to
prove that the agents and attorneys of the
State have made a blunder, is a travesty
upon the kind of law which is intended to

THE soUTHSIDE's CLAIM.

The meeting OF Councils Yesterday afforded
an opportunity for Mr.. Robertson to renew
has declarations of opposition to the i'm
provement of the parks and of fealty to the
cause of free bridges. There is no doubt
that the Sopthside is entitled to share OF
the good things that are growing out of the
era of municipal improvement; but it does
not follow that the claims of that section of
the city should forbid the city to improve
its parks. There is ground for the belief
that the most pressing need of the Southside
is pure water supply; and this THE DIS
PATCH has often urged Councils to provide
without further delay. II at least that
amount of justice is not done the people OF
that section they will have reason to COM
plain. But it is difficult to see how their
case will be strengthened by antagonizing
