not less than $40 200, 900 has been raised
or provided for by the Illinois
corporation. Consideration of bill was
then completed, and it was ordered to be
reported TO the house Immediately with
out further amendment. Dates for the
exposition, April 80, to October 90,

WHERE DELAY Is WISE

The idea of postponement is now being
pressed for the Worlds Fair. 1t is in con-
temptation to put it off for one year, viz.
till 1898; but it might be better to fix the
date even later. say in 1895 and then have
something credltable to show. After all,
the landing of Columbus is but the pretext
for the occasion. 1t is a great international
exposition which is the object; and, even so
far as sentiment goes, the discovery by Co.
lumbus can be celebrated by an exposition
in 1895 just as thoroughly as in 1892. Every
one will admit that the finest fair the world
will have seen would in 1895 be better
celebration of the discovery than hasty and
insufficient one in 1892. And when the
thing is to be done it had best, also, be done
at the right place. If a great national ex-
position, it is poor policy to treat it as
toy for which cities can compete in the hope
that it will advertise their local interests.
The DISPATCH sees no reason in anything
which has been urged respecting the
Worlds Fair to change the conclusion
heretofore expressed in these columns that
the Capital of the nation is the fit place for
it. Washington is the seat of Government,
and if the enterprise is to take place at all
under the auspices and prestige of the
Government, Washington has the logical
claim to the site.
The desire to make votes and influence
with some of the larger cities may lead to
the wrestling of the national Capital from
the contest, if the exposition is to be hurried.
The longer the time for the work the more
favorably will the idea of the Government
taking whole charge of it be regarded by
the people

THE OBSTACLE OF THE LAW.

The discovery, reported in our local col
umns, of an act of Assembly by which the
care of the public library in Allegheny,
power to appropriate money and levy taxes
for its support, and to provide rules and
regulations for its use, are vested in the
Board of School Control, throws new and
valuable light on the remarkable dispute
which is going on in that city.
1t Goes not necessarily follow from this
law that the control of the Carnegie Library
must be vested exclusively in the School
Board. We think that body, like any other
set of men whose views rise to the level re-
quired in such a case, will be glad to in
dorse any extension of the body caring for
the Library which will conduce to the pub
lie benefit But the law plainly puts an
estoppel on the idea that because private
munifcence has made magnificent gift to the
city, therefore the city property committee
is entitled to grasp the control of the gift
and the handling of the expenditures arising
in connection Herewith.
The library already existing in Allegheny
is city property; but the law did not select
the City Property Committee as the body de-
signed by its character to best manage such
an institution. The fire engines and houses
are city property; but the idea has never be-
fore arisen that for that reason the City
Property Committee should run the Fire
Department 1t is an unwritteD part of the
law that the discharge of such public func-
tions should be placed in the hands
of bodies selected for their ability
to deal with the subject properly;
and it is a somewhat novel idea that
the City Property Committee of Allegheny
Councils has been chosen with view to
those literary and educational qualifications
which will secure to a public library the
highest usefulness.
With the law plainly imposing check on
the pretensions of this body, it is to be hoped
that the discreditable squabble to convert
public endowment into municipal spoils
will be abandoned for an honest attempt to
organize the management of the library
solely with view to the best results.

A WoMAN's WILL.

The Judges of the Supreme Court of this
State have earned the gratitude of the better
half of humanity. They have decided
practically that a woman may make her
last will and testament about as she pleases.
There is a conviction current in masculine
minds that woman's will, anyhow is an
invincible thing. When she will, she will and
when she wont, she wont. But hitherto
this potency in woman has been supposed
to be co-extensive with life. Now it appears
that a woman's will goes after her death,
with very slight restrictions.
In the case referred to the Supreme Court
decides that document undated and signed
Harriet" must stand as the will of Harriet
S. Knox. There is no statement in the
paper Of its testamentary character, but the
Court holds this omission to be harmless
and Furthermore regards the absence of
witnesses names as of no importance, as 1T
is proven that the signature is surely Mrs.
KnoXs.
From legal point of view this decision
is likely to have an important influence upon
the rulings of the lower courts in similar
cases. 1t seems in line with common sense
as well as with the law; not an inevitable
condition, by the way.

A PROPHET OF EVIL,

Some of our esteemed cotemporaries have
brought Benner to the front again. Benner
is the prophetic CRANK of the business world,
who at stated intervals relieves himself by
prophesying a time when plgiron will sell
at $50 per ton he has just made proph-
eey of that sort with regard to the current
year; and as, some time in the recesses of the
past, he made bet on $50 iron, there are peo-
pie who consider his present prophecy sig
nifcant
lit is not necessary to worry our minds
very much over the possibility of a $50 pig
iron market this year; but it is worth while
to remark that, so lar as Benner is concerned
in making such prediction, be isl prophet
of evil. Hardly any greater cause of calam-
ity could could take place in the iron mar
ket than the imitation of prices to the $50
basis. This would inevitably check and
dwarf the consumption that is now giving
the market its vitality. 1t would in its at
tainment produce expansion of productive
capacity, imitation of credits and over-pro-
duction in output. The check of consump-
tion would necessitate shortage that could
hardly fail to produce bankruptcy and
would be likely to cause a general approach
to insolvency.
If the members of the iron trade desire to
maintain its present condition of prosperity
on permanent basis, they will do their best
to keep prices on conservative level and
make Benner a false prophet

RIFcTRTC TRANSIT

Pittsburg is now about to see practical
experiment with the electric railway on a
large scale. The completion of the Pleas
ant Valley line, and the announcement that
it viii be in operation by the latter part of
next week, will give us an opportunity to
see how that system works in our crowded
streets. If its operation is approximately
equal to that of the cable roads it will have
a marked advantage in the greater cheap
ness of the plant. On the other hand, it is
possible to sacrifice the efficiency of the
road to economy of construction. The East
Cleveland electric road, which is one of the
largest in the country, is plainly hampered
in speed and utility by the uneven charsc-
ter of its track, which was built for horse
cars at a speed less than half what is at
tanned by the cable lines. The operation of
our new electric line will be watched with
great interest, as practical test of the cleo
trio motor side by side with cable traction,
as an agency of municipal transit.
