THE MANY BEFoRE THE FEW.

Judge Stoves decision yesterday refusing
the injunction sought against the Duquesne
Traction road by Negley avenue property
owners, will probably terminate the series
of distractions which the new electric line
to the suburbs has had to meet In sub
stance the Judge holds that no special cause
OF complaint giving right of action to
abutting property-owners arises from electric
roads any more than from horse car lines;
and that the poles to sustain the wires are
no more nuisance than lamp posts or wa
tering troughs. The principle which
governs is the broad one, that the omplaint
of inconvenience to the abutting few is not
to stand in the way of enterprises which the
Legislature, Councils and the public deem
needful for the comfort and benefit of the
many,
In the matter of the Duquesne line public
opinion will heartily approve the result.
At first sight it might look as if this line,
like all other roads when they were started,
would interfere with driving, and that in
other respects it would be an obstruction.
But where one person has cause to object
hundreds will be glad of the added facilities
for rapid transit. The Pittsburg Traction
helped the city immensely. The Duquesne
Traction will do as much, or even more.
Beside it makes competition, which is in
itself good thing. 1t is pretty near time
now to let up In the habit of erecting bar
riers against suburban development.

A NEW SOUTHERN CRY,

The debate on the Federal election bill in
the House Yesterday was sensational.
Divers Republicans burned very red fire,
and several Democrats from the South
struck picturesque attitudes. But nothing
came up to the feat of Mr.. Ewart, Re-
publican member from North Carolina. He
came into the arena with a terrific
bound, denounced the caucus and all its
works, and kicked the bill over the Speak
er's head. Not a line in the bill would his
stomach stand. In North Carolina blacks
and whites could vote when and for what
they pleased. The Republican contention
that the African race in the South was ter
rorized, Mr.. Ewart denied. Neither
were the negroes at all tied to
the Republican party. He believed
that were an election held to-day seven
tenths of the Southern negroes would vote
the Democratic ticket. Revelations enough,
and valuable if true. But one point Mr..
Ewart makes plain, and that is that the Re
publican party is not ut all solid behind the
Federal election bill. The passage of the
bill even in the House will require loud
cracking Of the party lash.

SHOULD HAVE A HIGHER PLACE.

Pittsburg struck its fastest gait as busi-
ness center by rolling up for last week a
total of over SIC, 6,O00, 900. business done
through the Clearing House. This was an
increase of nearly 30 per cent upon the
business OF the corresponding week of 1889.
And yet, notwithstanding this practical
evidence of the growth and Importance of
the place, our people are not wholly satis-
fed with the showing which is expected
from the census. 1t is felt to be disadvan-
tageous that while Pittsburg is preceded
only BY five or six cities OF the United
States in the magnitude of its trade and in
dustries, there should be near dozen which
will surpass or compete with it on the show
ing ofpopulation.
Everyone with pride of locality should
desire the city to have the recognition to
which the facts rightly viewed entitle it.
These facts are that Pittsburg's population
lies largely without the corporate limits. If
Pittsburg included the whole county OF
Allegheny (as Philadelphia takes in a
whole county,, and as Chicago spreads over
q vast space, the population would figure on
the reports at nearly 600, 600.
There has always been a good deal of
near-sightedness, and not little narrow
ness aired in opposition when consolidation
has been spoken of. Yet there is one form
of consolidation that it would be impossible
for the most chronic fault-fnder to raise
even plausible objection against {. e., con-
solidation in name and for census purposes,
leaving each separate district to have its
own home rule for local purposes, including
taxation and Improvements, as it has now.
The fable of the bundle of sticks which was
stronger than any stick separately, applies
to the prestige of these home cities and bor-
oughs. That prestige counts for something
in adding to the business and to the i'm
POrtance of place is. at this time of day,
too evident to need to be argued.

MRS. sCHENLEY,s PL ans.

Mrs. Sehenley has definitely assumed the
role of Lady Bountiful to Pittsburg. The
interesting csbIegram from our Londen cor
respondent leaves no doubt of this. 1t is no
new thing, of course, for Mrs. Schenley to
be generous to her native place. There is
testimony enough of that already. But
hitherto her plans as to the treatment Of her
great estate here have not been fully re-
Tealed. Now they are plainly set before
~ 'eaders of The DISPATCH. They are
pleasant reading.
The visit which young Mr.. Schenley paid
to this city recently has evidently borne
fruit. The growth of Pittsburg and her
splendid prospects demand the improve
ments which Mrs. Schenley promises shall
be made upon her estate in the region of the
Point. Warehouses greatly needed will re-
place the Insignificant and dilapidated
structures which disgrace the First ward.
This will be as profitable q change for the
landlord, we venture to predict as for
Pittsburg. The business part of the city
can only spread easily toward the Point
The interest which Mrs. Schenley takes in
the Parks, in Mr.. Carnegie's munifcent
schemes, and in local institutions generally,
will naturally warm the hearts of her coun-
trymen toward her. Particularly agreea-
bic it is to note her sympathy for the poor
people who will be compelled to leave their
homes when the Point property is improved.
That they will be really benefited as
greatly as anyone in the end we see no rea-
son to doubt The wonderful extension of
cheap rapid transit facilities that Pittsburg
is now witnessing will make suburban resi-
dence possible for everyone.
If Mrs. Schenley visits this city next
year, as she now plan to do, we can promise
hearty welcome as we'll as many wonderful
sights,

ROAD IMPROVEMENT 1NDoRsED.

Although, by a peculiar mischance, the
telegraphic reports of the Republican State
Convention did not state it, it is the fact
that the platform adopted at Harrisburg
contained resolution setting forth the need
of improved country roads and calling upon
the Legislature to provide State aid for the
work of making our highways solid and
permanent. This a gratifying evidence of
the result of the agitation on that subject
which THE DISPATCH has been conduct
ing. The managers of the Republican con-
vention are not the men to take a new idea
unless they perceive its popularity; and
their Endorsement of highway improvement
is sure indication that the public neces-
sitY of that work is impressing itself on the
popular mind. When the political conven-
tions take up the call for improvement the
prospect for better roads becomes quite def
inite

DANGER I'm TENEMENrs.

The overcrowding of tenement houses in
this city is once more forcibly brought be-
fore the public eye in our columns. The
danger to the clty's health from such houses
as are described elsewhere can hardly be
exaggerated. But unless an epidemic breaks
out the health authorities are powerless
to act. They do not conceal their anxiety
as the result of such grave evils. All they
can do is to prepare for the worst that may
happen. The next Legislature will be
asked to extend the powers of the Health
Board. Some such bill as that which has
been found to work admirably in the regu-
lation of tenement houses in New York
will be prepared, and no difficulty should
be had in passing it at Harrisburg. 1t is a
pity that action must be postponed till then.
That is the best that can be done.

NO STAMPS EXCHANGED.
The Loss Falls Upon the Owner, as the Gov
ernment Refases Responsibility.
Fr ON the Washiu rtOn Start

The Loss Falls Upon the Owner, the Gov
eminent Refases Responsibility.
Fr ON the Washington star.l
Some people have an idea that the Govern
ment redeems postage stamps when from any
cause they become unfit for use or are difficult
to use. Frequently sheets of stamps are stuck
together, or are torn or injured. The loss, if
any, falls upon the owner, as the Government
refuses to assume any responsibility of stamps
when once sold. The agents of the Govern
ment the postmasters, can redeem stamps
which they have for sale, If through any acci-
dent they become unfit for use But when the
citizen buys stamp he either uses 1t in the
legitimate way or else he is out the value of the
stamp. The Government, however, redeems
Stamped envelopes. If one should happen to
pc instructed or should become blOtted, or
Tor any reason person should wish to tear
open stamped envelope after he had sealed it
Tor mailing, he can bring iJ to the postoflce
and get brand new envelope in its place.
Ine reason for this difference in the treat
ment OF the adhesive stamp and the stamped
envelope is that the adhesive stamp can be
used and then washed and passed as good, un-
less careful scrutiny is made. If the Gov
ernment should begin the practice OF redeem
ing adhesive stamps the opportunities for fraud
would be increased. Then the adhesive stamps
are manufactured at cost to the Governmsnt,
which the stamped envelope is not. The
stamps are furnished to the pNblic at the face
value and out of this has to come the cost of
man ufacture, but in the case of stamped en-
velopes they are sold at their face value plus
the cost Of manufacture.

T0ADS IN ROCKS.
A Well Authenticated Story Coming From
Mormondom.

A Well Authenticated Story Coming From
Mormondom.
From the Salt Lake Herald.1
Many well authenticated stories Of the find
ing of live toads and frogs in solid rock are on
record, and that such things are possible was
demonstrated here on Thursday afternoon,
when q workman engaged in Varley & Eyerlll's
lime rock quarry, north of the city. broke open
large piece of rock which had been blasted
out. and a frog hoped out of pocket in the
center of the stone. OF course the occurrence
created . tremendous sensation among the
workmen, and operations at the quarry were
for the time suspended and the movements of
the frog were watched with great interest.
The animal was somewhat smaller than the
ordinary frog, and was perfectly white. Its
eyes were unusually large and very brilliant,
but the frog was apparently blind. Where the
mouth should have been there was only line,
and on the feet there was a dark, horny sub
stance. Mr.. Everill at once took charge of the
curiosity and put it in a tin can, but the frog
died yesterday morning. He brought 1t down
town and 1t was examined with interest by
large number of people, and it was afterward
presented TO the museum, where il will be pre-
served in alcohol.

BLAINE AND RECIPROCITY.

SECRETARY BLAINE's broad proposal for

vious revenue proposal. hiladelphta Press

THE wisest thing under the circumstances Is

tion and banking facilities will undoubtedly

in the greatest abundance and which they

ACCORDING to Mr.. Blaine's estimate, we have
given the countries south of us free admission

last 20 years without receiving penny's ad.
