THE ExPOsITION,s RETURNS.

The Exposition has been open two weeks,
and its beneficial effect upon trade in Pitts
burg is very positively apparent. There Is
no guess work about this statement; the in
terviews with leading merchants which The
DISPATCH publishes to-day give solid
facts. In spite of bad weather the busi-
ness done in the principal stores shows
an improvement of from twenty-five to
fifty per cent. This may be safely attrib-
uted to the presence OF visitors in the city
from nearby towns and country districts.
The stores are thronged with strangers. and
September, a month which is usually rather
dull, is this year lively in all branches.
We are glad to see that Pittsburg merchants
recognize the value of the Exposition to
them. The trader who admits that his sub
scription for Exposition stock is one of the
best-paying investments he has ever made,
states the naked truth.
The Exposition has done great deal for
this city already, and it can do much more.
Some of the direct benefits are exhibited in
our news columns to-day, but there are
others equally substantial, which will be
discovered later on. There is hardly an in
dividual in this community who is net IN
some way indebted to the Exposition. Be-
fore the Exposition closes, it will have
placed large balance upon the right side
OF Pittsburg's ledger.

dia. If Captain Pitts had appealed to him
it would have been in accordance with his
public duty to give instruction as to the
legal power of the Government, in whose
port the ship was lying; and it would not
have been inconsistent with his diplomatic
duty to have sent that instruction in time
to let Barrundia seek some other refuge. 1t
was violation of his duty to take what
seems to have been rather active part in
securing the arrest of purely political
offender.
What was the reason of his taking this
course, is not authoritatively stated; but it
is not hard to guess Mr.. Miner has been
active in restoring peace among the Central
American republics, and has doubtless
come to regard himself as personally inter-
ested in the stability of the governments
there. Under these circumstances he was
probably bet rayed into ordering the arrest
of partisan who threatened to disturb the
stability of Guatemala, just as he was be-
fore betrayed into making speech offensive
to Mexico, which evoked the censure of the
State Department. The censure is much
more urgently needed when the United
States Minister identifies himself with the
internal politics of Guatemala SO much as
to order the arrest of politician who
threatens to disturb the stability of the
Guatemalan Government.

MIR. MINERS FALSE STEP.

When the first reports of the shooting Of
Barrundia, on the steamer Acapulco were
received, THE DISPATCH said that COM
plete and impartial reports were required
before deciding that an international wrong
had been committed 1t seemed clear that
there was no violation IF international
rights in the claim that steamer, while in
port was subjected to the laws of that Gov
ernment; and it was possible that the repre-
sentations of Mr.. Miners activity in secur-
ing the arrest were distorted and unfair.
The fuller reports justify the first position;
but they also make it necessary to say that
Mr.. Miner took part in signing an order
for General Barrundia's arrest which was
entirely inconsistent with the impartiality
toward internal politics that is the first duty
of United States Minister in foreign coun-
tries.
1t certainly was not part of the Ameri-
can Ministers duty to issue an order to the
captain OF the Acapulco to give up Barrun-

THE LOTTERIES oUTLAwED.

The leaders of the Republican party in
Congress can fairly claim credit for one
good piece of work IN the passage of the anti
lottery bill, which went through the Senate
yesterday and now goes to the President for
his signature. This action puts the Gov
ernment on record as pledged to do its best
for the suppression of a national scandal,
and will receive general approval. 1t is to
be hoped that it will be effective in putting
a stop upon the depredations of the lottery
sharks.
The lottery evil has been one of long
standing as concerns its holding out to its
silly victims the chance to throw away their
money. But it is only within the past year
that the bold attempts to purchase State
Legislatures, in order to give the Louisiana
lottery a new lease OF life, has shown the
immense revenues enjoyed by that whole
sale gambling concern and called atten-
ton to the necessity of stopping it. One
State proved able to resist the bribes of
the lottery millionaires Another found
that the immense sums which the concern
offered were too strong ior Its integrity. Ihe
only resort left for the suppression of the
national swindle was to outlaw it from the
use of the mails, and that step Congress has
taken, with gratifying promptitude consid-
ering the pressure of other matters on its
time and attention.
With the law on the statute books for the
exclusion OF lottery matter from the mails,
throughout the land, it is to be hoped that
it will have such rigorous enforcement as
to wipe out the immense revenues OF the lot
terry gamblers. The situation illustrates
what The DISPATCH said yesterday on the
subject of enforcement of the laws. The
only hope of the lottery sharks is in their
ability to prevent the enforcement of the law.
II their wealth and political relations can
not accomplish that result the lottery evil is
under sentence of death.

THE RATTLE FAIRLY on,

The aggressiveness of the Democratic
speakers at Reading yesterday emphasizes
the peculiar features of the State campaign.
Ex-Governor Pattison addressed the Demo-
cratic societies, and his general state
ment of the issues at stake was
supplemented by Mr.. Hensel's very direct
and particular attack upon Mr.. Delamater.
Both speeches indicate that the Democratic
campaign is to be conducted on the often
sive Mr.. Pattison's speech is lucid am
plifcation of his letter of acceptance.
There is nothing in it with which the public
at large is not already acquainted, but it
will serve, as it was intended to serve, as
general base of operations for the Demo-
cratic forces and their independent allies.
Mr.. Hensel did not deal in generalities.
He confined himself to one personal issue.
This was Mr.. Delamater's use of State
funds in his capacity of banker, while be
was serving as State Senator. Mr.. Hensel
contends that in this Mr.. Delamater was
guilty of famisdemeanor rendering him liable
under a specific provision of the Constitu-
tion to disqualification for holding any
State Office for term of five years. If
Mr.. Hensel's charge is borne out
by facts, and apparently it is, the
position OF Mr.. Delamater thus early in the
day is decidedly embarrassing. The per-
sonalities OF which complaint has already
been made by Mr.. Delamater and his friends
seem to be on the increase, and the charac-
ter of the accusations is painfully specific
The battle has begun with fairly heavy
fire from the Democratic batteries.

DEATH OF CHAL DICK.
A Conspicuous Figure of tho Johnstow
FIood Has Gone Eoreyer

Conspicuous Figure of tho Johnstown
Flood Has Gone Forever.
JoHNsTowN, September 18.-Chalm ers L.
Dick, whose name figured conspicuously in the
newspaper reports from this place just after
the flood, died rather suddenly at 1:3O this A.
M, aged "a years. He was leading attorney
of the Cambria county bar and counsel for the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company. His wife
and three children survive him. Mr.. Dick was
burgess of Johnstown borough in 1885, He
was one of the brightest members of the Cam
bria county bar. The funeral will take place
Wednesday morning. Mr.. Dicks death is
shock to the community and is universally re-
gretted.
Chal Dick was perhaps the most familiar
figure in Johnstown during the dark days of
the flood. Mr.. Dick was then constable of
Cambria county, and as such he distinguished
himself In more ways than one. On the Sat1r-
day following the fatal Friday, when sight
seers, relic-hunters and crooks of all descrip-
tiOns were pouring into the devastated district
"Chap' Dick made his appearance in the town
mounted on grand bay charger, with a Win
chester rifle slung over his shoulder and small
arsenal at his belt. In this picturesque cos
bridge, and single-handed and alone kept from
the stricken city all save those who had the
right to enter in the name of humanity.
Personally, "Chel" Dick was a man of iron
nerve, but tender heart, and while many criti-
cised his methods, they were the only winning
ones that could have been employed at such a
time Dick was at one time Mayor of Johns
town. Shortly after the flood he moved tenn
porarily to Greensburg, where his wife was
stricken down and almost lost her reason as q
result of the horrible scenes through which she
had passed.

WASHING kENNEDY's WORDS.

The unparliamentary language of the
ebullient Bob Kennedy will be quietly re-
moved from the Congressional Record. The
House yesterday committed the job of ex-
punging the improper portions of Congress
man Kennedy's speech to the Judiciary Com
mittee. This practically ends the incident,
for the committee may be relied upon to report
4 resolution of which Speaker Reed and the
leaders of the majority will obtain the sum-
mary passage. Mr.. Euloe's motion was
properly defeated, for its aim to prolong
the embarrassing episode, by dragging the
Senate into a consideration of Mr.. Ken
nedy's speech, was apparent. The commit
tee which has to purge the speech will find
it hard to avoid reporting the whole of it
as unworthy of record in the Congressional
annals.

THE DEADLY RAILROAD JOKE.

F VERY railroad has its regulation: jokes, SO
to speak. Jokes that are racy of the rail.
Some of them are puns that travellers delight
to make upon the names of stations. The
jokes so-caled are apparently always in season.
There is no "close" time for them. For In
stance, it is pretty safe to say that Fort
Wayne train never stops at Dixmont but some
one says facetiously TO his neighbor: "Ahl
here's your station p or asks with fine irony:
Don't you get out here?"
This particular joke-for it is joke, of
course-is made with frightful frequency at
such seasons as this, which bring crowds of
country cousins to the Pittsburg Exposition.
When the brakeman opens the door of the car
and yells more or less melodiously: "Digsmon"
or "Xmont," or any other railroad equivalent
for Dixmont, you will see at least one or two
humorists playing the changes on this vener-
able witticism. You may not laugh over the
jest now. but you must remember that it was
new and funny to you once upon time.

and all manner of beautiful designs. The
principal thoroughfares were long, glimmering
avenues of coloring. At the camp hundreds
OF army tents we're erected for the accommo-
dation of still other thousands. The great tent

IT HAS been suggested that the function
of legislation which the House leaders were
disposed to assign to the rank and file of the
Republican members in that body was not very
exalted; but no statement of the theory that
their only province is to do as they told, has
been more decided than that of Hon. Joseph
g. Cannon. I'VE don't want the absentees to
come here and tire themselves by thinking" I"
said Mr.. Cannon. according to the authoritative
and organic correspondence of the Philadel-
phia Press. "All we ask of them is to come
here and do the work that wooden man might
do by sitting in their seats and allowing them
selves to be counted" The House Repub1i-
cans will please take notice of what is wanted
and fulfil their duties as the wooden men of
legislation.
