THE TWO ANGELS.


God called the nearest angels who dwell with him
above;
The tenderest one was Pity, the dearest one was
Love.
'Arise,n He said, ''my angels! wall Of woe and
sin
Steals through the gates Of heaven, and saddcns
all within.
''My harps take up the mournful strain that from
o lost world swells;
The SIN oke of torment clouds the light and blghts
the ssphodels.
ely downward to that underworld, and on its
souls oil pain
Let Love drop smiles of sunshine, and Pity tears
like rain.h
Two faces bowed before the throne, yelled in their
golden hair;
Four white wings hastened swiftly down the dark
abyss OF air.
The way was strange, the flight was long; at last
the angels came
Where swung the lost and neither world, red
wrapped in rayless flame.
There Pity, shuddering. wept; but Love- with
faith too strong for fear,
Took heart from Gods almightiness and smiled o
smile of cheer.
And loI that tear OF Pity quenched the flame
whereon it fell,
And with the sunshine Of that smile, hope en-
tered into hell
Two unveiled faces full Of Joy looked upward to
the throne:
Four white wings folded at the feet of Him who
sat thereonl
And deeper than the sound ofseas, more soft than
falling fake
Amidst the hush Of wing and song the Voice Eter-
nal spake.
''welcome, my angelsl ye have brought holier
Joy to heaven;
Henceforth Its sweetest song shall be the song Of
sin forgiven" John G.. Whittier.

PITTsBURG,s PROSPERITY.

The condition of trade in general in Pitts
burg is unusually good for this season of the
year. A general impression to this effect
has been current, but The DIsPATCH's
news columns to-day contain an itemized
confirmation of the pleasant news. There is
no boom here in the unhealthy sense, but
an extraordinary activity in manufacturing
and commercial circles which arises from
substantial causes. The nation is prosper
Gus, but more particularly Pittsburg is pros
porous. The reports from retail dealers in
every kind of merchandise show that there
is plenty of money in Pittsburgers' pockets.
There is every reason to believe that this
comfortable state of affairs is destined to
continue for long time, and the indications
for the fall trade are especially good.

IN defending Speaker Reed on the charge
Of having completely changed his views, the
New York Press confesses that he has done So
and proceeds to argue as follows: "Now, sup
pose Mr.. Reed, after years of experience in the
House, made up his mind that his present way
of ascertaining the presence of a quorum was
better than the old way. Is he to be charged
with inconsistency for adopting the new p
Certainly he is, if his old views were based on
convictions as to what was best for the conduct
of representative and constitutional govern
ment Opinions as to the methods by which
representative institutions are to be kept fair
and impartial, are not subject to changes of
fashion. like mans coat-provided the man
holding them is swayed by any higher principle
than partisan exigencies The best proof that
Speaker Reed recognizes no principles that
stand in the way of party supremacy, is to be
found in the speeches and writings of Thomas
B. Reed, M. c.

AREPORTED PROGRAMME,

Further reports as to the plan BY which
Messrs. Mckinley and Reed propose to
issue a political death warrant against
James G. Blaine, descend to details. The
programme, according to the not very good
Republican authority of the Washington
Star, is that the House managers propose to
let the Secretary of State live until the tariff
bill gets back to the House. Then the re-
ciprocity suggestion is to be referred with
the bill to the Committee on Ways and
Means, and that committee is to make a re-
port attacking Mr.. Blaine with all the
power that can be put into language"
Furthermore, the authorized slate includes
Interpretation that 'ifthe attempt to get the
party in the House to give Mr.. Blaine
slap in the face succeeds, he will be at once
crowded out of the Cabinet unless be is al
ready out"
1t is to be remembered that gossip of this
sort comes from journals that are by no
means of official standing in the Republican
party. Party organs would not dare to pub
lish such a programme even if informed of
it; and, on the other hand, opposition papers
would not at all object to exaggerate a
scheme of that description that rested on a
slight basis. Nevertheless, the statement of
that class of political gossip, from an i'm
partial source, like the Washington Star,
is rather significant, and gives ground for
believing that the prevailing political atti-
tude at Washington as that of clasping a
concealed stilettO, to be used on the FIRST safe
opportunity.
Beyond that the greatest commendation
for the reported Reed and Mckinley pro-
gramme is the facility it offers, if Western
Republican conventions continue to indorse
the reciprocity scheme, for the House lead
ers to come down as gracefully and promptly
as Colonel Scott's coon.

ALABOR POWER.

Common sense and enlightenment are at
the bottom of the success which has at
tended the organization of the United As
sociation of Plumbers. The objects and
methods OF the association are described
elsewhere in this issue, and they
should be studied by all who
are interested in the welfare
Of workingmen. 1t will be seen that the
plumbers and mechanics in allied trades
have won the confidence and cooperation
of their employers BY consistent adherence
to the principle of arbitration, exercised
through their State presidents and confer
euce committees. Not little of their sue
cess in arranging labor difficulties has been
due to their scrupulous attention to their
own business. The organization, though
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-08-02
young, has record that marks departure
in labor alliances.
A SIGN aF IMPROVEMENT.

A rather sensational display is made by
the New York World over the fact that
while the President has sent a message to
Congress attacking lotteries, with PROPOSE
tion that their remittances and advertise
ment be outlawed from the United States
mails, Mr.. Russell B. Harrison, the son and
heir of the chief executive. has been solicit
ing advertisements from the managers of
certain lotteries and publishing them in his
newspaper, the Montana Journal.
In presenting this as an evidence that the
Presidential opposition to lotteries is not
sincere, the esteemed World is somewhat in
consequential. 1t only shows that the
motives which inspire the President as the
executive Of the nation do not govern Mr..
Russell Harrison as the conductor OF GER
tain newspapers. However much it may
have appeared that the much advertised
young man exerts undue influence in the
matter Of official patronage, II has not yet
been asserted that President Harrison has
any control over the advertising columns of
the papers with which his hopeful progeny
has established unique and somewhat in
comprehensive relations.
Beyond that the time has come when it
should be laid down as matter Of princi-
pie that the President, as the head of the
administration cannot assume responsibility
for the personal acts of Mr.. Russell B. Har-
rison. To sustain the burden of that
bumptiousness is more than can rightfully
be laid upon any struggling administration.
1t is true that in a certain sense the Presi-
dent is responsible for Mr.. Russell B. Har-
rison, as his progenitor. But it should be
recognized that the Presidential ofense in
that respect was committed in ignorance as
to its full enormity, and has been, besides,
condoned by the subsequent election of the
paternal Harrison to the Presidency.
Indeed the fact which the World brings
out is rather to the credit of the President
than otherwise. 1t shows that he is able to
take ground opposed to the interest of his
too hopeful son. Criticisms of the use OF the
patronage to reward Mr.. Russell B. Har-
rison's friends or punish his enemies have
been frequent and not misplaced. But here
we have comforting evidence that the Presi-
dent has cut loose from his heir and pro-
poses a policy which will diminish the
latter's advertising revenue. This is
change for the better; and everyone should
unite in hoping that the Presidential policy
and Mr.. Russell Harrison's personal inter-
ests may continue to be greater strangers.

BELIEVE MCDOWELL INNOCENT.

Mercer County Republicans viii Stand BY
the Nominee Mt All Hazards.
From the Sharon Herald
There Is no mistaking the sentiment OF
Mercer county Republicans in regard to the
nomination of Major Mcdowell and the charges
of bribery. The action of the County Committee
at Mercer Tuesday demonstrated that. They
do not believe that Major Mcdowell had part
or parcel, directly or indirectly near or re-
motely, in the bribery of the Beaver county
delegates who voted for him. and until it is
proven that he had they will stand by him as
didate until such completely is clearly proven
They are not In favor OF hanging an accused
man and then trying him afterward, but they
do believe in justice and fairness and they win
by the other counties in the distrlc. And the
other counties cannot afford to do less than
accord this.

To the Editor Of The Dispatch:
Yesterday morning some young children pur-
chased tickets at Homewood station, Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, for Roup station. and obserV.
ing a train approaching from the East, in
quired of brakeman upon 1t whether it woald
stop at Roup. Being assured that it would,
they entered the car. 1t was little time before
they were asked for tickets. On delivering
them to the conductor they were surprised to
be informed that the train did not stop at
Roup, and fare was demanded from them TO
Shadyside, the next station. Although they
informed the conductor Of what the brakeman
had told them, he proceeded to collect the ad-
ditinnal fare to Shadyside. where they alighted,
and had to walk back TO Roup.
Is 1t much cause for wonder that many per-
sons residing in the East End prefer the cable
lines, when available, as means Of Transports
tion to such a railroad as this?

THE New York Hernld's W.

The New York Herald's weather-wise
editorial writer asserts that "the present hot
spell derives its chief Importance from the ex-
cessive amount of invisible vapor in the atmos
phere OF the Atlantic seaboard which is appar-
emily due to the exceptionally high tempera-
ture OF the Atlantic water in the Gulf stream
region" In that case, why does the hot spell
extend its pernicious activity to this side of the
Alleghenies? The heat is by no means con-
fined to the Atlantic coast, whatever may be
the case with the humidity.
