EMINENCE IN SOCIETY.

One of the most interesting testimonials
as to what is necessary for a member of So
ciety in New York has recently been made
by that amusing and instructive person, Mr.
Ward McAllister. The career ofthatleader of
the Four Hundred, and the methods with
which he has been successful in exploiting
himself, have presented numerous lessons
alike calculated to combine instruction with
amusement; but none of them have given us
a stronger dose of both than Mr.. McAllster's
last deliverance. Referring to some criticisms
on his late venture into the field of authorship,
which alleged that weaknesses in grammar
were to be discovered in that literary gem,
the author and leader of fashion said: "a
man of fashion is not expected to be gram
marian, don't you know. My language was
like that of society,""
This is surprising but not the less i'm
portant as adding another to the long lists of
qualities which are testified by adequate
experience not to be required to qualify q
man for entrance into good society. That
literary fame, leadership in politics, promi-
nence in science or art, do not constitute the
necessary qualities to take the social leader
ship has long been conceded. A writer or
thinker would be unknown in the social
world, and one who did not go there to
crafty his curiosity or study social phenom
ena would also be disqualified by getting
deadly sick of it. A politician would be
disqualified by the faults of both spheres,
while men who rise to the height Of states
manship are only accepted in Mr.. McAIlis-
ter's sphere as lions. 1t may be supposed
that the possession of millions gives the
entree in New York; although it has often
been denied that it lisa mere dollar aristoc-
racy; but even then the men who have the
record of creating wealth by their own abiI-
ity are barred out, and only those who have
received it from their fathers or grand
fathers are made welcome.
Thus it has already appeared that no eyi

FAIRGROUNDS FOR CHILDREN.

In New York the other night company
of big-hearted and liberal-minded men and
women met to consider a project for provid-
ing the children of that city with play
grounds. In that and other large cities
there are miles of city blocks with no place
for the children to play ball pr shinny or
the numerous games of youth unless they use
the streets and do so at the peril of them
selves and others. 1t is said that Boston Is
a notable exception in this respect. having
provided her children with seventeen play
grounds and big place for coasting. 1t is
not wise or just or kind or generous for the
body polite to provide art treasures, great
libraries, fine drives and big park out of
town for the grown-up folks. and
make no provision for simple play
grounds for her children. Pittsburg
ought to have several centrally located
places that should be given over to the chill
dren for their free Fairgrounds. They need
not be very large, but they should be selected
with a view of accommodating the children
of such localities as most need something of
this sort. Big folks and little folks alike
would rejoice to see this done. There would
seem to be no good reason against it and
many for 1t.

THE CLEVELAND BUGBEAR.

A contributor to the public press who
evolves matter for publication under the
nom de plume OF communicated" has dis
covered that Mr.. Cleveland has been talking
about the campaign, and takes care to spread
the matter before the public by repeated as
sertions of the fact
This is evidently for the purpose of max
ing the voters believe the assertions of the
Democratic organs that vote for Pattison
is a vote for Mr.. Cleveland's tariff views.
But when we fad under the head, "Cleve-
land Shouts for Pattison," that Mr.. Cleve-
land is talking exclusively of "the discus
sion of tariff reform by the Democratic ad-
v5cates," and says not word about Gov
ernor Pattison, it may dawn on the public
mind that Mr.. Cleveland is speaking solely
Of the Congressional elections.
Inasmuch as the Republican managers
with whom Communicates" is more or less
directly connected have refused the chance
10 gain a Congressman in PHILADELPHIA and
are ready to trade votes on Congressman for
votes on the State ticket, publications of this
sort hit the Republican organization in
Pennsylvania harder than anyone else.

THE PoLInCAL MIND-UP..

The curious and deeply interesting politi-
cal struggle in Pennsylvania is about drawn
to close. The only thing that remains to
be said is that whichever wav the vote turn,
the majority will be entirely likely to get
Just the sort of Governor that particular
majority want They have had every op-
portunity of judging of the record, qualifi-
cations, disqualifcations and tendencies of
the opposing candidates. These candidates
differ so widely that there is no possibility
Of blind choice.
There has not even been room for argu-
ment in the canvass. That Pattison was a
faithful and safe public servant has not
been disputed, excepting II a single in
stance. That instance but redounded to his
credit, as the false charge in 'he South Penn
matter was completely retracted with apol-
ogies, and acknowledgment made of its
falsitv. Pattison stands before the public
nOmiDslly as a Democrat, but actually as
one who, twice elected to high office by Re-
publican votes, fully justified in every par
ticular the non-partisaG trust reposed in
him. Common justice compels the acknowl-
euGmSut tudl luS puollC I4SHIS anu INTERESTS
will be in absolutely safe hands should ex-
Governor Pattison be elected OF Tuesday.
The voters are almost as well informed as
to the brie er official record of Mr.. Della
mater. He has not himself discussed it to
any great degree. His arguments have been
mostly on the tariff and on the grandeur of
the party history. Those who are satisfied
to vote for Governor from the latter stand
point will doubtless always find Mr. Della
mater quite sure upon these two subjects
His probable policy as Executive the
State is another matter of which he has left
us to Judge solely from his political ante
cedents.
The prospects are for a close vote, with
the result uncertain until the count is made.
Each voter ought to be able to make choice
for himself. 1t is not case where special
exhortation should be required.

imposed for the privilege of wearing that
crown of social distinction. But the propo-
sition in France to tax the exotic titles of
the Old World suggests the ability of this
country to do the same thing on the mar
riages of American heiresses with the
wearers of those titles-the important thing
which is acquired by such unions being the
money on the one side and the titles on the
other.
Such duty on the sitled husbands OF
American girls could be levied either for
revenue or for protection. There is no doubt
that, properly adjusted, it could be made to
yield a large revenue. When American
millionaires pay their titled son-in-laws'
gambling debts by the hundreds of thou
sands, who can think that they would
grudge some additional tens of thousands to
the United States Government? But the
United States does not need the revenue,
and it is in the light of protective tax that
the proposition has its greatest attractions.
Shall not the free and independent Amer
lean citizen, in his search for well-dow-
cred vie, be protected from the competition
of pauper European titless

TITLES FOR TAXATION.

The proposition OF NJ. Moreau, in the
French Chamber, to make titles of nobility
subjects of taxation is certainly in accord
ance with the fiscal rule of placing the
burdens of taxation so far as possible on
objects of luxury. Titles of nobility are
luxuries, especially in a Republic like
France, and NJ. Moreau's bill to impose a
tax Of 500 annually on the prefix "de," Z"
81, 600 on the title of baron, 81, 600 on that
OF count, and $4,000 on that of prince,
ought to establish decided addition to the
public revenue. 1t might be diminishing
source of public income, like Pitts tax on
wigs and hair powder, which yielded a
million dollars the first year, but gradually
wiped out the use of those articles
altogether. If the owners of these titles are
not willing to yield the contribution to the
States expenses, the revenue might be kept
up by adding the Italian plan of letting
anyone have the titles who is willing to pay
for them.
This scheme o. taxation contains valu-
able suggestion to the United States. Our
Constitution forbids the granting of titles of
nobility, which is deprivation to the gilded
aristocraey of the East, who would no doubt
be glad to pay whatever taxation might be

MIR. BLAINFS DELUSION.

The pith of Mr.. Blaine's speech in Phil
adelphia yesterday is: Delamater and pro-
lection are identical in this campaign; to
retain the latter's blessings the Republican
candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania
must be elected. This is no new argument;
it has been the chief reliance of Mr.. Della
matters advocates ever since his per-
sonal weakness became painfully plain.
The DISPATCH has shown time and again
the absurdity of this contention, and we be-
lieve the great mass of voters see through
this attempt to cover Delamater's fallings
with the tariff Of course, Mr.. Blaine's
words will have some effect, but at this late
day they can hardly delude any great num-
Der of sane persons who know what is really
at stake in the State election.

THE CENSUS TOTAL.

THE New York TGnsss: 1t is at least safe to
say that the census does not and will not COM
mand the confidence of the people of the coun-
try.
NEW YORK Morning JourndI: LOOK here
Uncle Sam, IT you were to do this thing
all over it would be money in your pocket.
You've lost three millions through Porter's re-
porters! New York has set you the example.
Brace up and count it all over again!
THE Philadelphia Times: That the nat
ural growth of population by excess of births
has diminished of late is not disputed. This is
a fact of familiar observation for which various
causes may be found among the conditions of
modern life. But that this decrease has gone
on during the past ten years with the rapidity
indicated by these returns-a sudden fall OF
nearly one-half-is incredible.
The Baltimore american: The showing is
not what some will expect. especially when we
remember that 6. 500, 900 of immigrants arrived
here In tine last ten years. And yet with the
decrease, it is an enormous growth-a growth
without parallel in the entire world. 1t places
us next to the Russian empire as the most
populous of the civilized nations. In 90 years
the British Isles, with Ireland, have grown
about 2200O,00O in population. In the same
period the United States have grown $50 OOOl
The contrast makes magnificent showing!
THE Philadelphia Press: The aggregate
population announced by the Census Bureau
yesterday will undoubtedly be disappoint-
ment to the country at large. There are tests
which can be applied to a census when its
figures are all in which establish its accuracy.
The proportion of the population at different
ages the ratio of births and deaths to the total,
the distribution of the sexes-these and many
other minor returns can be relied upon to prove
the accuracy or lmpeach the credibility of

The Immense Lines of Railway in Siberia
and China Under Way.
From the Imperial keview.1
The great work on hand is the Siberia rail-
way. which will link st. Petersburg with V!adi-
vostock. The LHustJtrte Zeitung, Leipsic. gives
map OF the entire surveyed route, The length
VIII be double that of the line from New York
to San Francisco. The journey will take
fortnight. General Annenkoff is the moving
genius. He laid the Strategic railways toward
Germany and Austria. and afterward laid the
Transcaspian railway. The railway through
Siberia has been surveyed in 40 sections and all
is ready. This gives the impulse to railways in
China.
But much greater works are authorized.
First railway from Pekin, in the northeast,
to Hankow. in the center of China. on the
Yang-tse- -Kiang river. 900 miles from the
mouth. The railway Pekin to Hankow will be
near 800 miles. A railway OF almost equal
length is authorized from Pekin to Chinkiang,
all along the north. The Chinese Government
Will itself construct the railways. 1t repudiates
two rival schemes; first. by the Rothschilds and
Krnpp. to advance $4,000. 900; second, by Jay
Gould q Co., to establish Shanghai American
bank in connection with railway making. A
railway right across the South American con-
tinent will shortly be finished.

dence of ability or record of success in
spheres requiring strength of mind prove to
be the qualifications ior that charmed circle
of which Mr.. McAllister is at once the ex
ponent and censor. Culture, scientific
learning, political wisdom, or financial abil-
ity, all are a dross beside the real social
touchstone; and here we have another quail
ity which is entirely unnecessary. 1t seems
that the social aspirant does not require the
ability to speak and write the English
language correctly. Grammar is entirely
barren ideality from Mr.-McAllister's
point of view. We believe that Herbert
Spencer develops similar ide from very
different grounds; but the corroboration of
that philosopher will not strengthen Mr..
McAllister's opinion. Fashion and gram
mar are two widely separated subjects, and
it is vain for the vulgar herd to expect a
a man of fashion 20 waste his time on any
such useless and severe mental exercise as
to remember that verb in the plural re-
quires subject of the same number, or
vice versa.
What then are the qualifications required
for that society which Mr.. McAlllster hold
up for our admiration and awe? Family
is talked Of; but the fact is that the families
which have been prominent for keeping up
the tradition of culture and ability are the
exception in this circle, while those whose
progenitors Fl ty years ago were prominent
for other pursuits are much more common.
Money is necessary, but you must inherit
it in large amounts from your father, or,
much better, your grandfather, before you
can aspire to real social eminence. Clothes
are necessary, but scores of obscure fops
succeed in clothing themselves as gorge
ously as McAllister himself, and remain un-
known of men. McAllister's great literary
work has revealed the secret. The social
leader must know how to get up his feasts;
he must never let himself betray that depth
of social ignorance which permits salmis of
tame duck to masquerade as an entree.
Then can his proud soul mount to the loft
lest social heights, and from his eminence he
can laugh to scorn the vulgar theory that
man of fashion needs that degree of culture
necessary to burden his mind with the rules
of English grammar.
In short. the qualifications for society are:
large income which the owner never
gained by his own exertions and does not
know how to use discreetly; the taste in
clothes of dude, and the culinary tenden-
cies of French cook. If a man combines
in his person those shining advantages, he
need never bother his head about such trivial
matter as culture or ability or even grammar
as claims to social eminence.
