HOLIDAY ACCIDENTS.

Considering the vast quantity Of fireworks
exploded yesterday, and the thousand and
one dangers which arise from the celebra-
tion of holiday by unusual diversions,
the Fourth has left few wrecks to mark its
passage. Some sad exceptions to the happy
rule were inevitable. The accident on the
river at McKeesport by which four lives were
lost, was the most pathetic. All might
have been saved had they retained their
presence Of mind. This is so often the case.
New arguments for the requirement of the
art ot swimming are presented by these fire.
quent boating accidents. The mere ability
to keep oneself ahoat would save most of the
hundreds that are drowned every summer.
Aside from the McKeesport fatality, the
day was singularly free from accident.

THE POPULARITY OF THE PARK.

The celebration Of the old-fashioned
Fourth of July at Schenley Park, yester-
day, was shown by the crowds which re-
sorted to the park with their picnic baskets
and crowded the cable cars to appeal to the
best element of our citizenship. The speeches
were fully inspired with the sentiment of
the dav. Mr.. Marshalrs Grafton was
especially recognized as well worthy to rank
among the notable efforts of long career Of
eloquence. Up to the time when the rains
put a damper on the closing part of the
spcrts the celebration was an unalloyed
success.
There we're other aspects in which the
popularity of the affair has important local
significance This is the first public occa-
sion in which Pittsburg has enjoyed the
benefit of park for popular assemblage.
Although the Improvement of the park is
vet matter of the future, the thousands of
people who fiocked by all routes to that
pleasure ground afforded the most convinc-
ing demonstration of the value of parks to
the common people. Nothing has ever be-
fore been counted among the public posses
sions of Pittsburg that could afford the
masses as much pleasure as this pleasure
ground of the people; and the swarms that
hung to the cable cars on the way out there,
give a provision of the countless thousands
who will for all faturity make that breath
ing spot their resort upon public holidays.
, Another conclusion is to be drawn by the
fact that thousands of people W ho attempted
to reach the park did not do so, simply be-
cause they could not get on to the cable cars.
The attraction of the new park, it is clear.
will make present means of transit wholly
inadequate on public occasions. Before an
other year the Duquesne Traction will bave
its line in operation, but even that enlarge
ment OF the transit facilities will be hardly
sufficient for the accommodation OF the pub
lie travel to this popular resort on public
holidays. 1t is probable that with the
growth of the district surrounding the park,
che transit system will undergo several ex-

THE CONSTITUTIONAL ISSUE.

The Philadelphia Press receives the
nomination of Ex-Governor Rattison by two
assertions which may regarded as character
istic of the real issues which will be in
volved in the coming State campaign.
They are first that "Mr. Patlson's record
as Governor will help him in quarters
where demogogic tendencies naturally find
favor" that is, in his ambition "to find
something in the nature of a corporation at
which to strike" Beyond this the Press
declares that his summoning OF the Legis-
lature in extra session 'to do what it was
clearly resolved not to do, was "a con-
spicuous example of what blundering bad
judgment he is capable.
As it is the fact that Governor Pattison's
record on the corporation question was a
straightforward and steadfast assertion that
the corporations should be made to obey the
Constitution of the State, it is pertinent to
say that if this is a demagogic tendency, it
is a pity that we have not had more dema-
gogy in the State Administration. 1t is
significant and somewhat remarkable
measure of the attitude of the Republicans
in this campaign to find the chief Republi-
can organ attacking the opposition candi-
date for his assertion of the principle that
the supreme law of the State should govern
its corporate creatures.
The same remarkable issue is presented
by the reference to the extra session of the
Legislature. The Legislature was summoned
by Governor Pattison to perform duty en-
Joined upon it by the Constitution. Perhaps
the people may be able to perceive that when
legislative body is clearly resolved not to
do" the duty which the Constitution re-
uuires, the fault and disgrace lies with the
recusant members o. the Legislature and not
in the executive who calls upon it to do its
work.
The doctrine that the Constitution is su-
periOr to the corporations and politicians is
the best ground for the supporters OF Patti
son to take; but is it discreet for the Repub-
lican organs to voluntarily assume the mega
tive on that issue?

THAT Joint SITE.

The choice of the joint site for the
Columbian Exposition in Chicago is not
final. There are chances of Its being
nulli6ed. The Chicagoans are not satisfied
with the plan which divides the exposition
into two sections eight miles apart. The
latest intelligence confirms the view which
The DISPATCH has expressed before.
The site chosen is not so eligible as Jack
son Park alone, or the mile square OF prairie
outside the city offered gratis by Mr.. Pull
man. 1t is said that the Commissioners who
made the choice are even now preparing to
retreat from it. The insinuation that they
merely chose the joint site to enable some of
their number to realize on real estate spec
ulations we do not care to believe. The
scheme had the Illinois Central, if anybody,
behind it. However this may be, the joint
site ought to be abandoned at once.

lures this year will be s25,00O,0oO less
than last, is not evident. That point
is reduced in Importance, however,
by the fact that the estimate does not include
the $50, 100000 appropriation for the sink
ing fund, or the same amount for the new
pension bill. On the basis of last years ex-
penditure, these two items would make the
excess OF outgo over income So, 600, 900. On
the Secretary's estimate the deficiency will
be S. 0O0, 900. With the estimated reduction
of revenue by the new tariff bill of S6O. .OOO,-
900, the deficiency of receipts over expendi-
ture will reach between S6S,Ooo,oOO and
500, 600, 900.
Perhaps this is good showing; but it does
not seem very wise for the Republican lead
ers to go before the people and claim approval
on the record of single session in converting
an $50, ,OO0, 900 surplus into $4,000, 900 de-
fciency

WRECKED sURPLUs.

The close OF the fiscal year, this week,
makes it timely to figure up the statements
of receipts and expenditures of the Govern
ment. For many years past there has been
a large excess of income over outgo IN the
United States Treasury. The intimations
that this favorable condition is to be re-
versed, gives the Treasury estimates
marked degree of Importance.
The receipts for the last fiscal year were
S4O2, 600, 900 and the expenditures S318, ,000,-
600, the surplus being Ss4, 10000 or S.
600, 900 less than the Secretary's estimate of
last December. The falling off is due en-
tirely to the increase in expenditures. For
the coming year the Secretary's estimate is
$3S5. .OOO, 900 of receipts and S293, 900. 600 of
expenditures. On what ground the Score
tary regards 1t as likely that the expendi-

INDEPENDENTS MULTIPLYING.

1t is not safe to say where any man
islands in politics these days. Here is ex-
Congressman Grouse, of Ohio, Republican
with an orthodox record, registering his
objections to the policy, leaders and candi-
dates of the Republican party of to-
day. What does it mean? Clearly that
declarations of independence are fashion,
able just now. Be sure, also, that for one
Mr.. Grouse, who has the courage to declare
his dislike for bosses, for unsound and Sec
tlonal legislation, there are a dozen with the
same feelings who will not express them.
1t is healthy sign. The Republican party
will be better for it. The people as whole
will benefit by the preference of principles
to partizan victories.
