JUSTICE TO V4UX,

The movement in Philadelphia to replace
Mr.. Vaux, who was elected to fill Mr..
Randalps term, by State Senator MeAleer,
attracts much attention, especially from the
Republican managers. On the principle of
not giving your opponent what he wants it
might be supposed that the Democrats of
the district would perceive the inadvis-
ability of throwing overheard popular and
creditable representative before he has had
more than a single session in which to prove
his capacities. The Republican managers
and organs fairly bubble over with iubila-
ton at every indication that McAleer will
dispiace NauX; but there is Democratic
element that has weakness for doing what
the Republican managers want done and
the question is whether they will be success
ful in this instance.
1t is both good public policy and good
politics when man of such popular strength
that no opponent was put up against him on
his first election has made good record on
the short term, to give him a denomination.
The Democrats of the Third Philadelphia
district will be wise not to break over that
rule at present Mr.. Vaux has been
unique but entirely creditahle figure as
Representative in Congress. His popularity
and strength were sufficiently demonstrated
by his first election without opposition, and
as that election was for only part of the
term, it is no more than good party manage
ment to give him chance to show his legis-
lative qualities IN a second term.

THE RIGHT COURsE.

The frequent attempts at train wrecking
on the New York Central Railroad, in the
past Jew days, have not unnaturally been
used as proof of the desperately criminal
purposes of the strikers. Some of the
strikers have been charged with completely
in the acts, and have denied their guilt. On
the other hand, assertions have been made
that officers of the New York Central have
been engaged in getting up sham attempts
at train wrecking, especially for the sake of
bringing discredit on the Knights OF Labor.
No evidence on either side has yet been
made public, and the popular opinion will
be likely to be held in reserve until it is
known what the proofs are.
In the meantime it is worthy of notice
that Mr.. Powderly, in the Journal of
United Labor, puts himself and the order
in the right attitude concerning all such
criminal efforts to revenge private wrongs
by public disaster. After declaring that
I'VE cannot believe that any Knight Of
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-09-13

Labor was concerned in this devilish deed, !"
the article goes on to indicate the duty Of
the K. of L, in the following outspoken
paragraph:
What is the duty of Knights of Labor thenf
Clearly to do everything within their power to
assist in the discovery of the culprts. If, as we
believe, it turns out that no member of the order
is among the guilty ones, then the strikers will
be cleared of even doubt If, on the con-
trary, it should be proven that any Knight Of
Labor is implicated, none are more interested
than the members of the order in clearing
themselves of all suspicion of sympathy with
lawlessness and crime by assisting in bringing
the perpetrators to justice. Ours is not
criminal organization and it cannot afford to
harbor criminals. Let us urge upon the men
on strike and all who sympathize with them. to
do everything in their power to assist the
authorities in ferreting out the fiends in human
form who have been guilty Of this deed OF
devils"
This is the right sort of talk. 1t is not
alone the duty of the knights Of Labor as
citizens to aid in the discovery of heinous
crimes against public safety; but it is to the
interest of the order to put themselves on
record as ready to punish such ofenses,
whether they are perpetrated by members OF
the order or not. If their efforts to detect
the guilty parties locate the crime outside OF
the order, the accusation will recoil on those
vino make it. list is found that members
of the order have been guilty of such acts,
the participation of the order in their de-
lection and punishment will clear it of COM
pliclty.
Let the policy stated above be vigorously
followed out by the striking members Of the
Knights of Labor, and it will put an end to
accusations that they seek to revenge their
defeat by criminal acts.

THERnIOPYLR.

This is the place-the mountain bay
Is wild and stern and grand,
As when the Lion held the way
That barred his mother land.
Long years and change and earthquake shocl
Have wrought upon the scene,
Where once the sea waves Tapped the rock
Are meadow lands grown green;
But Oeta still looms vast and gray
To hide the setting sun,
And still the mountains bar the way.
And every way but one;
The sulphur springs still fume and flow
Along the rough hillside,
And far-of Othrys yeiled in snow
Sees where the Spartan died.
There is spirit haunts the place
Where mighty deeds were dared,
Though time andchange have left no trace,
And not grave be spared;
And climbing up the grassy hill
Where Sparta's Lion stood,
The heart still answers to the thrill
That marks the hero mood.
And as read the page again.
That Quickens from the dust
The tale of those three hundred men
Who died to keep their trust
KNEW the Gre was not yet lost
That nerved my younger age
The shadow of an eagle crossed,
And fell along my pagel

REED AND BLAINE,

In an article on the respective status of
Blaine and Reed, the New York Sun re-
marks: "There has been no direct conflict
between Mr.. Blaine and Mr.. Reed in either
of the victories which they have respective
" won. Mr.. Blaine's success in the Senate
was not necessarily a defeat for Mr.. Reed.
The Speakers triumph in his district was
not distinctly a rebuke to Mr.. Blaine But
the direct conflict is now imminent, and
the two champions are face to face"
This is perhaps true, speaking by the
card. But there is every reason for the be-
lief that the adoption of the Secretary's reci-
procity policy by the Senate was dose which
had bitter taste in the Speakers mouth,
second only in acridity to the chinchona-
like postponement OF the Federal elections
bill. On the other hand, after the Secretary
made but one speech in Maine, and that
carefully placed and framed so as to do Mr.
Reed no good whatever, it is not likely
that, to use the expression of the bridegroom
elect to The Begun, Reeds doubled major
ity would cause Mr.. Blaine to ''fill the sur
rounding atmosphere with wild whoops of
delirious ioy."
1t would be correct to say that, in the
opening conflict between the two big Maine
men, each has won fight for position; and
neither has enjoyed the victory OF the other.
That they are more clearly face to face,
than ever before, is only the case, because
each in turn has made a success in what he
undertook. Against the broad policy, mag
netie personality and old enthusiasm sur
rounding the Secretary of State, are the un-
yielding fighting qualities and strong appeal
to the partisan spirit that constitute the
Speakers chief characteristics Which
qualities contain the best promise OF ulti-
mate triumph is an open question. So lar
as the appeal to Republican Congressman
and Republican politicians is concerned, the
Speakers ezaggeration of partisanship.
backed by his stubborn determination, is

If Pittsburg is to continue her career of
progress, if her glory is to be kept in
high state of polish, the rising generation
must be looked after. Yesterday The DIS
PATCH pointed out the need for more
schools. To-day we call our readers atten-
ton to the need for Fairgrounds for the
children. The education of the young idea is
a good thing, the recreation of the young
body is no less a good thing. Children in
the lower wards of the city have no play
ground but the streets. How dangerous
these Fairgrounds are the constant chron-
icling of accidents to chiIdren-under the
wheels of cable and electric cars-is evidence
enough.
But Fairgrounds are coming. Real lawns
of grass in Schenley Park-with incidental
sand heaps and mud-pie bakeries-especially
set apart for romping youngsters. Mr.
Bigelow will see to this. Then there is that
melancholy strip of nothing IN particular,
called Second Avenue Park, which tight
fence would make proper sporting ground
for the little ones. But Mayor Gourley,
Sheriff McCandless, and everybody in fact,
seems naturally to have thought OF the Bed
ford avenue basin as a breathing spot par e1-
cellence for the children. Steps ought to be
taken to put this piece of city property to
such an excellent use as soon as possible.
One Of the beauties of making Fairgrounds
for the babes of this great city is that the
taxpayers will not be asked to contribute
vast sums to carry out the plan. Very
little more than the ground is asked for.
Room enough to run and jump and play,
beyond the reach of rapid transit jugger-
nauts and horses hoots-that is all we ask
for the children. While we are planning
grand parks more especially for grown
folks let US not forget the little ones pent up
in tenement houses, in narrow courts and
dismal alleys.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-09-13

likely to secure the greatest support. But
the contest between Blaine and Reed will
not stop until it reaches a popular verdict
of the Republican party. When the peo-
pie, even acting in partisan capacity, are
reached, they will probably be found to
give full weight to the fact that the Secre-
tary's policy looks to the extension Of trade
and the increase of prosperity; while the
Speaker is unable in any issue to see beyond
the limits OF partisan interest.
The more immediate question as to how
the Speakers triumph-we will not insult
him by calling 1t a "vindication" will
affect the issues between the House and
Senate, is still more problematieal. That it
should give the House leaders great deal
of back bone in insisting on the leading
features of the Mckinley bill as it went up
from the House, is more than likely; and it
would be well used if it should cause the
the place of that sop to the Sugar Trust,
which both the Republican and Democratic
leaders voted for in the Senate. But it is
not likely to stop there; nor indeed is it by
any means certain that it will especially
affect that issue. Suppose, as seems to be
possible from yesterdays proceedings, the
House should put the tariff bill in COM
mittee, and let it stay there. with private
intimations to the Senate that it will come
out when the latter body has taken
action on the Federal elections bill.
That would be stroke not at all inconsist-
ent with the character and methods of Mr..
Reed. and it would open up remarkably
lively fight, which would probably result in
making the present session continuous up
to the beginning of the second session.
The most obvious result of the Reed vic
tory is that it will strengthen the hands of
the Reed policy in Congress. AS that policy
has brought the session of Congress up to the
middle of September without completing
tariff legislation, it would not be strange if
the reinforcement of it should develop new
features of snarls and muddles. Perhaps
the Speaker may yet add to his triumphs
one which as between himself and Mr..
Blaine would be a Pyrrhic victory.

MORE GASES THAN ONE.

There is not the slightest likelihood of the
failure Of Pittsburg's natural gas supply in
the near future The DIsPATcH's inves-
tigation of the subject has proved this. But
supposing that natural gas should fail, does
it follow that our manufacturers must re-
turn to coal? Not at all. In our
columns to-day it is shown that an artif-
cial fuel gas, substitute for natural gas,
is already in use in several large mills. 1t
is not theory but fact that confronts us
here. Gas can be made from coal to COM
pete with the natural gas, and to take the
latter's place should it tail. The system of
pipeage now in use for natural gas could be
adapted to the service of artificial gas, and
Pittsburg will continue in any event to en-
joy the advantages of cheaper and better
fuel whether the gas wells give out or not.
