Harrison the Tailor's Creditors.

The creditors of j. L. Harrison, ''Har-
rison the Tailor" have expressed good
deal of dissatisfaction with the assign
ment schedule filed by Harrison. His
assets, as scheduled, were rather small,
and the liabilities were good deal
heavier. The creditors claim that a
quantity of goods were purchased just
pear in the schedule. and the matter
came before Judge Lochren yesterday.
He thought there was another proceed
ing for the assignee, if he thought there
were goods not scheduled, than the
bringing of Harrison into court for eX-
animation.

MIR. cARNEGIE's SOUND ADVICE.

Mr. Andrew Carnegie has made another
of his luminous addresses to his fellow
countrymen. This time he aims at young
men, showing them how to win fortune, and
proving for their encouragement that the
way to success in business is as open as ever
to honesty, ability and energy. Mr.. Car
negie is principally concerned in showing
that the individual man has plenty of
chances to advance in spite of the huge es-
adjustments, the gigantic corporations,
which the concentrating tendency in the
fields of manufacture, commerce and finance
is producing. He confesses that the law OF
concentration seems to him to be gaining
force, and that combination of capital is be-
coming more and more necessary. But he
believes that the individual worker has as
many opportunities to rise to partnership
in these large concerns as he had in other
days and under other conditions.
That the history of the past bears out Mr..
Carnegie's reasoning can hardly be denied.
As be shows in an astonishing collection Of
the leading manufacturers, merchants and
bankers of the country, the poor boy who
has swept out the Office, or toiled in the mill
before he was out of his teens, has very often
landed on the highest rung in the ladder.
These are cheering facts for the office boys
and young mechanics of to-day.
Perhaps Mr.. Carnegie's practical advice
to young men as to the best way to obtain
promotion, will prove most interesting to
the average reader. Except as a prepara-
tion for the learned professions Mr.. Carnegie
does not put much stock in college educa-
ton. He never did. He thinks the poly
technic schools, however, are turning out
rivals of the practical apprenticed mechanic;
that the receptive and uniettered attitude OF
the man educated in science gives him the
start of the mechanic trained in the shops
On the way to earn an employers confidence
Mr. Carnegie approvingly quotes this from
George Eliot: "Tll tell you how 1 got on.
1 kept my ears and eyes open, and made
my masters interest my own" 1t is not
new advice, but it is very good; the best in
fact. In very sensible. plain-spoken way
Mr.. Carnegie also points out the fatal effects
OF drunkenness, speculation and indorsing
other peoples paper upon the practical
young man who has his foot upon the ladder
and is beginning to rise. All Mr.. Carnegie
SAYS is worth listening to, and he speaks
with authority upon the winning of fortune.

THE PAN-AMERICAN IDEAS.

1t is announced that the Pan-American
Congress Will show a full justification for
its existence in the adoption of a universal
treaty Tor the submission of all international
disputes on the two American continents to
arbitration. This would abolish war on the
Western Hemisphere and show the nations
of the Old World the manner in which dis
armament and the reign of peace may be at
tained.
1t is true, as stated by the New York
Press, that this would of itself be a sufficient
achievement to make the congress famous.
1t would be distinct advance beyond the
present stage of civilization, and would
promise liberal fulfillment of the prophecy
that the nations shall learn war no more.
That would be of far greater value to hu-
manity than any spread of commercial rela-
tions, and as such would command the ap-
proval and sympathy OF the entire world.
Nevertheless it is necessary to remember
that the avowed purposes OF the congress are
commercial. Whether any equally signal
extension of commercial relations is to be
secured depends upon whether this nation
can get out of the beaten track sufficiently
to accept Secretary Blaine's radical policy
OF universal American reciprocity.

Mud in Michigan.

From the Grand Rapids Telegram Herald.l
The PITTsBURG DISPATCH has fitted out an
expedition to tranverse the rural roads of Penn
for the purpose by Studebakers. on plans and
specifications furnished by Tue DISPATCH.
Stout horses have been purchased and plans
and contracts made ahead for relays of horses
at various points along the proposed line of
travel. One of the staff writers of THE Dis
PATCH will be in charge of the expedition,
with photographer and an artist to assist him.
The ride will be long one. 1t is the aim to
traverse the entire western half of the State
first; from the southern border to the shore
of Lake Erie, and from the Ohio line to the
summit of the Allegheny Mountains and down
the eastern slope. The purpose of the expedi-
tion is to ascertain the real condition of the
country roads. There has been much COM
plant throughout the entire State of the horri-
Bile condition of the roads during the past win
ter. THE DISPATCH takes this means of as
certaining the facts in the case and laying
them before the people of the State
Now, if an old, wellsettled State like Penn
sylvania has such awful roads, how must it be
in Michigan? The same complaints have come
up from Michigan, and there is no doubt that
a large proportion of the public highways of

APPROVING BUT NOT IMPARTIAL.

1t is interesting to observe that the Char
lesion Ne,oS and Courier after referring to
THE DISPATCH as "a dyed-in-the-wo Re-
publican newspaper" quotes approvingly
the objections in these columns 20 the idea
of perpetuating the existing Congressional
gerrymanders. The classification of The
DISPATCH which makes it ga dyed-in-the-
wool Republican paper" is probably due to
the Neus and Courier'S conviction that any
thing short of swearing by Democratic prin-
ciples and Democratic practices must be
Republican.
But the greatest trouble with the gerry
Wandering question, as with all other
partisan issues, is exemplifed BY the fact
that our Southern cotemporary gives its ex-
elusive attention to Republican gerry
manders. Having invited its readers to ad-
mire the spectacle OF Republican paper op-
posing Republican gerrymanders, it fails to
see the appositeness of presenting in its own
columns the the counterpart of Southern
Democratic paper condemning the Southern
Democratic gerrymanders. Nor does it ap-
preciate the timeliness of criticising the
grotesque forms which the Democratic gerry
mander of the State of Ohio has just perpe-
trated.
As long as papers denounce only the dis
honesty or injustice perpetrated by the op-
posing party and blink at the equally fla
grant wrongs of their political allies, there
is little ground for the expectation that
such things can be reformed.

TIT sWITcHMEN,s DEMAND.

The demands OF the railroad switchmen on
the Pennsylvania system are rather combat
i've and radical. An advance of 25 per cent
in wages, concurrently with reduction In
the hours Of labor, will probably be large
dose for the railroad officials to swallow, and
they may not unjustly consider that the de-
nand is put so high in order to allow a
little lee-way for compromise.
The proposition that the hours OF labor
should he shortened will commend itself to
the public judgment. The sa ETY. of railroad
travel depends, to certain extent, on alert
ness and care in the switchmen's work, and
there is reason to think that a lessening of
hours would conduce to that desirable end.
The wages that should be given for the re-
dUeed hours OF work is so clearly matter
OF negotiation and the relative payment of
other labor, that 1t must be settled between
the companies and the men.
Pittsburg will certainly hope that the
matter may be satisfactorily settled by fair
compromise and that her prosperity need
not be checked by a railroad strike.

A CHASTITY SHIPMENT.

The example O. the trunk murders in this
country has spread to Denmark, where a
man who had killed another packed it in a
cask and shipped it to this country as sample
merchandise. The discovery was hastened
by the confession of the murderer, when ar
rested for other crimes. after the ghastly in
voice had been lying unclaimed in this coun-
try for long time. 1t is an unanswered
question how long it would have been before
the contents of the cask would have been
found out if it had not been for the confess
sion, and whether the crime could have been
traced without any other clew. The close
approximation to success which has been at
tanned in the cases OF this kind that were dis
covered IS calculated to arouse disturbing
doubts whether there may not have been

BETTER RESULTS WANTED.

In reply to the rather extreme assertion oi
Mr.. Holman. of Indiana, that the United
States has, with the new vessels recently
added, sufficiently effective navy, the New
York Telegram declares that we have but
seven modern vessels in commission-the
Baltimore, Chicago, Charleston, Boston,
Atlanta, Yorktown and the dynamite
cruiser Vesuvius. OF these it asserts: "Only
two of the cruisers have attained speed
which would enable them to act as COM
merce destroyers, and thus our effective
force is reduced to two cruisers and one coast
defense vessel"
But if this is SO, does it not prove the neces-
sity of going little slowly until we know
what we are doing? II, out of six new vessels
only two are able to serve the purpose for
which they were built, does it not show con-
clusively that we are not in shape to go into
wholesale vessel-building until we are sure
that the vessels will be what we want?
Certainly our navy should be enlarged;
but it should none the less certainly be
efficient. Until we can get better results
than one efficient cruiser out of three built,
it will be wise to go little slowly.

POSSIBILITIES OF GOLD DISCOVERIES.

The reported discovery by surveying
expedition of large deposits of gold quartz
in the precipices of the Colorado canon is
full of important and interesting possibili-
ties. The exact value of the discovery is
only to be determined by actual workings;
but the authority on which the announce
ment is made is SO good as to give the
strongest ground tor belief that an indefinite
addition to our mineral wealth will be
made when the deposits are fully developed.
OF course the first effect of the announce
ment will be to start a rush of prospectors
and tortune-seekers to that remote region.
The Colorado canon is the most inaccessi-
bic place left in the United States to which
is undoubtedly due the fact that the discov-
cry was not made long ago. The greatest
perils and hardships confront the daring
explorer VINO tries to penetrate its Businesses;
but no perils were ever known to stop the
seekers after gold. With the statement
that the treasure is there, the universal
hunger ,or the precious metal will ensure
that the search will be kept up until every
vein OF quartz has been tested and the ex-
act value OF the deposits known.
But there is an even greater possibility in
the intimation that a marked increase will
be made to the worlds supply of gold. The

BEGINNING TO SEE IT.

The true inwardness of that famous Hook
ing Valley case has just struck the New
York papers. 1t was given a new impetus
by the filing of an answer on the part of
Judge Burke and his associates, in which
they do not deny the assertion that they con-
verted SS,OO0,000 of the Hooking Valley
securities to their own uses by exchanging
them for their own property, worth mere
traction of the amount, but declare that
such a charge constitutes no cause of action
against them under the laws either of Ohio
or New York. The assertion is not new
one. That position was understood to re-
ceive the sanction of referee couple of
years ago. But its recent repetition has i'm
pressed the New York Herald with the fact
that corporate practices OF that description do
not leave a shadow of protection to the
stockholder ii the laws have nothing to say
to it. The same line of reasoning will uer-
haps lead the Herald to the ultimate per-
ception of the fact that the practice of pool
ing to sustain earnings on that class of rail-
way capitalization will, If permitted, have
the effect of giving a market value to cor
porate plumber

THE BEST PAVEMENT.

1t is calculated to provoke some reflection
on the part of our property owners who are
paying for new pavements, to find that In the
Eastern cities the press, and we presume the
people whom the press represents, are protest
ing against granite block as pavement tor
city streets. Last Saturdays New York
Herald editorially refers to the holes and ruts
in specimen piece of work of that sort;
while Philadelphia is up in arms to call for
the use of asphalt on Broad street instead of
alienation sections Of asphalt and blocks.
The apparently strong testimony as to the
unsuitability OF block stone as city pave
ment from cities where it has long been
used, is corroborated by some of the pave
ments that have been in use in Pittsburg for
several years. Yet Of the large sums that are
being expended in this city for new pave
ments the greater portion take the form of
this pavement which other cities are reject
ing. The DISPATCH has frequently said
that money spent in securing good pave
ments is we'll invested; but it is sine Qua
non that the pavements must be good. If
they are of class that in few years will be
as rough as cobblestone, then the cobble-
stone pavement would be cheaper in the
first place.
1t is characteristic of Pittsburg to take up
Improvements about the time that other
cities have got through with them. But in
