THE LIBEL SUIT.

OIL CITY Derrick: Pattison's resort to a
libel suit at this stage of the campaign, is an
other bit of clap trap sensationalism of the
man. He knows it cannot come to trial before
the election, and will not afterward.
WHEELING Register: Ex-Governor Robert
E. Pattison, the Democratic candidate for Gov.
ernor of Pennsylvania, has sued for libel three
leading Republican newspapers of the State.

of dirty campaign of falsehood and SANDER
against him.

PHILADELPHIA, Public Ledge: Ex-Gov-
ernor Pattison could not have asked for bet
ter opportunity to bring before the people his
record as Governor than the attack made upon
him because of the passage Of the South Penn
Railroad bills during his term of Office. He Is
prompt to take advantage of the situation, as
he ought to be, for political reasons, as well as
to vindicate nis good name.
PHILADELPHIA North american: After

GALLO THRIFT.

The example of France is not always
worth following, but in one regard, at least,
the people of the great European Republic
are teaching the whole world lesson in
thrift. The Frenchman, especially the
French peasant, saves money as men of no
other nationality will. NJ. de Foville, quite
a famous authority on such matters, and
especially we'll qualified to speak of
his countrymen, since he is the Chief
of the Statistical Bureau of the French
Ministry of Finance, has recently stated
that the savings banks and postal banks of
France combi led now number 6, SOC, 900 de-
posits, representing two milliards and eight
hundred millions of francs. Thrift in
France. as in America, is combated by one
ioe-the saloon. La the words of NJ. de Fo-
vile, war to the knife is wsged in every
French town and village between the saw
ings bank and the public house. In certain
communes of Brittany the establish.
ment of branch savings banks has been tenn
porarily abandoned, so determined is the
hostility on the other side. The annual out
lay on spirits, liquors, absinthe, etc..
amounts to half milliard of francs; that
on tobacco to nearly as large sum. NJ. de
Foyille concludes his summary with these
wise words: 'Pauperism, for which so
many seek utopian remedies, will never
disappear, rest assured on it, till driven out
of the world bv thrift

AND STILL THEY COME,

More Italians bv 2O,70O, more Poles by
II 900, more Hungarians by II, 700 and more
foreigners generally by 42,30o, have been
brought into the country in the past nine
months than during the corresponding
period of 1889. This condition of things
presents a problem of growing magnitude.
The man who can wisely solve IT will be a
statesman indeed, and merit the gratitude of
all true Americans But to such problem
must be applied solvent which, in the
language of the celebrated Canning, shall
recognize power with liberty, not adopting
hasty or ill-advised experiments, or pursu-
ing any airy and uusubstantial theories;
but not rejecting, nevertheless, the spplica-
tion of sound and wholesome knowledge to
practical affairs, and pressing, with sobriety
and caution, into the service of his country
any generous and liberal principles, whose
excess may be dangerous, but whose foun-
dation is in truth"
This is one of the great questions of the
day. 1t should promptly receive the
thought and action OF our ablest men. In
it, also, there is a fine opportunity for the
younger generation of students of public
questions to come to the front with their
best thoughts.

A Brilliant Cotillion Given at the Monon-
gahela Last Evening.
Beauty and brilliancy at the Monongahela
House, last evening, was the result of the first
dance OF the Allegheny Cotillion Club of the
season-and the first dance of the club ever
given in public assembly room. But one
would never imagine that such was the case, to
watch the really mature airs that were as
sumed last evening. Indeed, not a suspicion
OF amateurishness was given by the manner in
winch the event was conducted, and some older
and more pretentious cotillons might gain
points from this youthful affair. The club
was organized in Allegheny about five
years ago. by a score of prominent
young society men, and the cotillions were
danced In private houses, but the enlarged and
continually increasing membership prohibited
public debut, but rather necessitated such a
course. It VIII shortly assume the dignity of a
cluDrOom OF its own, in conjunction with the
Allegheny German Club in the building near
the Bishop Bowman Institute, to be opened
next Saturday evening.

attention, because it received such slight

The double parlors, in which the receiving

harmonizing beautifully with the elegant fur

rooms The library was fragrant with deep
red roses that, In clusters and bouquets,
abounded, while decorations of white and
green. the new European fad were seen IN the
dining room, and the artistic effect obtained by
the shlmmering damask, cut glass. silver. and
the pure white flowers, with their setting of
green, was such that the popularity of the con-

PITTsBURG. WEDNESDAY. OCT. g. 1880
INVOKING THE POWER oFPATRoNAGE

The peculiar exigencies OF the Peunsyi-
vania campaign this year have induced the
Republican managers to resort to some ex-
pedieDts which will hurt the cause OF their
candidate for Governor far more than that
cause can be benefited by the course pur
sued. There is hardly any disguise of a
wholesale draft upon tie energies OF the
Federal Government employees, great and
small, to pull Delamater through. As early
as the nominating convention this special
help was effectively invoked to get him upon
the ticket How boldly it has been sum-
moned for service on Tuesday is indicated by
contributiorslevied on Federal employees, as
we'll as by written demands for their personal
services at the polls.
The position OF the Republican party, re-
peatedly and solemnly avowed to maintain
the civil service free from this very politi-
cal pressure, is cast to the winds. To con-
tend that such service and assessments as
are demanded from the Federal employees
are to be purely voluntary is thin blind
indeed. They already know an election is
impending. Ii, as partisans, they felt dis
posed TO help their party candidate they re-
quire no reminder Of the opportunity. When
these reminders, sharp and significant, have
been showered upon them either directly or
by the sanction of their official superiors,
the proceeding NUT be considered as a
mena5e Of disfavor which is not whit less
Ineligible ior being accompanied by no
form i threat of Displacement.
A hundred good reasons could be given
why, for the welfare of political parties
themselves, as we'll as for the efficiency of
the public service, the power Of patronage.
particularly of Federal patronage, should
cease TO be an officious ana overruling factor
in national, State or municipal elections.
But this has been already decided by the
Republican party, mbodied in its platforms
time and again and incorporated by it
in the Federal statutes. o. the actual value
in votes FOR the Republican candidate of
these acquisitions upon ofice-holders, great
and small, grave doubts may arise. The
electioneering service which is voluntary
and springs from conviction would likely be
ventured anyhow. The service which is
perfunctory and gotten under command will
be no greater than is needful to keep UP
appearances.
Meanwhile there is far more numerous
element in the party which will find no
added incentive to voting for M. Delama-
mater in the fact that to elect him a State
which has normal Republican majority of
over So 900 1t has been necessary to ignore
the national platform and pledges by max
Inn this bold and open draft upon the local
resources of the Federal Administration.

PRESERVATION OF ANTIQUITIES.

The Saturday Reuie,O deplores the ab-
sence of any proper supervision of the ex-
cavations of ancient Egyptian monuments
and records. 1t says the rifing of tombs,
the wsnton deiacement of monuments, the
destruction OF sculptures and inscriptions,
and the unwarrantable dispersion of price,
less relics, is such that, in the language of
Prof Sayce, "more damage has been done
during the last few months to the antiquities
of Egypt than had been done during the
previous half century," The Reuier cen
sures the Anglo Egyptian and Anglo French
Governments for their neglect of this i'm
portant matter. II that sort Of thing con-
tinues perhaps our desperate remedy of
bringing their monuments to America and
coating them with parafine will be the
surest way to preserve them after all.

NoUIRNG INVESTORS.

In q recent communication to a cotempor-
ary, a correspondent signing himself "In-
Testor" raises a point which is extremely
pertinent in these days when the public are
invited to put their money in SO many
corporate undertakings. He asks for
monthly or quarterly statements of the earn
ings, expenses, and condition of these vari-
Gus companies. Stock-wateriug and stock
jobbing are in such high favor as rapid
and ready road to wealth that the demand
will CRATE harshly on the sensibilities of not
a few corporation promoters and corporation
directors; but there is not an iota of doubt
that it is made in the interest of the prop
erty they represent, and that if frankly and
honestly complied with, it would enure
greatly to the ultimate value and conserva-
tion o! that property.
There are many corporations in which the
stockholders are few, whose shares are not
listed, whose business is not of public
character and in which the general public
have no particular interest. But there are
great many others whose shares are
offered In the market and in which a con-
slant trading is stimulated. 1t may be
argued that the intending investors should
take care of themselves and not buy unless
they know what they are getting. This is
very well; but it is better to treat them to
the facts, as far as possible, beforehand.
1t is not alone the possible investors, how
ever, but the stockholders of corporate con-
Germs, who would be thankful for such fire.

spondent asks for. They would then be
better posted on the value and prospects of
their holdings. We trust the subject will
