Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-03-02

AT the fifth ballot the gracious smile left
Chauneey Depew's lace. The evening grew
on apace, and the New Yorkers wanted to
adjourn so as to reform their lines, but the
motion was howled down. The st. Louis
men began to break to Chicago, and at last
on the eighth ballot the West won.
Our representatives., Mr.. Dalzell and Mr.,
Townsend voted steadily for Chicago, and
Mr.. Bayne gave Washington a show first,
then New York. and finally voted for Chi
cago.
What the Senate will do remains to be
seen, but 1t is likely that, if Worlds Far
is held, that Chicago will hold the winning
card on the last trick. The railroads have
large share in the question, of course, and
it may well be supposed that the P. r. r.
and b. & o. are not asleep. Mr.. Wilson,
of West Virginia, voted uniformly for
Washington as the location of the fair, and,
while he may be credited with some knowl-
edge as to how his bread Is buttered, we
We doubt not he will shear a yell' from
home that may give him some unhappy
moments, even while he reposes upon flow
ing beds of ease in this ever beautiful and
lovely city.
MIR. CARNEGIE'S TRIBUTE TO HIS WIFE.
The patron saint of Allegheny gave a
grand dinner here to the n-Americans
and some friends this week, but, as the hon.
ored guests were all of the masculine per-
suasion, we are not posted as to its delights
or the eloquent after-cofee speeches. But
Mr.. Carnegie's beautiful tribute to his wife
at the Allegheny library ceremonies meets
with unqualified admiration and appreeia-
Lion in the drawing rooms.
1t has been the custom hitherto for man
to stand so alOof from his home, SO apart
from his family. so disconnected with the
influences that control his inner life that
his biographers oftentimes fail to record the
fact that he has vile; but our own
ANDY" bas emphasized the growing ten
dency of the times to give the other half
credit when it is due, and to his wife gives
mention that will endear her to all women,
and mark him as a man broad enough, high
enough and enlightened enough to give
honors where character commands it. No
sweeter tribute could wife desire than the
love, appreciation and admiration of her
husband, as publicly expressed, by his good
works and great deeds.
OUR DEEELICT SENATOR'S.
Not once since we came here have either
Senators Cameron or Quay appeared in the
Senate. We feel like ii lone orphan without
a representative in that disnifed body.
How Pennsylvania is to be taken care of
with both men away off ''gallivantin" is a
mystery, but we presume that Blair, with
his educational bill, has given all of the
members vacation. He has talked for five
and six days unrelentingly and remorse-
lessly-to empty seats. This may be all very
well for his reputation, since he gets all he
says published in the Congressional Record,
but II is awfully hard upon the eountry-at
least that portion of 1t which supervises the
1rl-r rNf 2 rfafp- MI
Senators seem to have an idea that they own
the nation, and can do as they please in
Washington, bnt if their constituents were
as wide awake as they ought to be
they would hold them to much strieter
account OF their goings on. We NAV say in
passing that the Representatives of Western
Pennsylvania are faithful to their trusts.
We have never, in our frequent visits to the
House, found them absent or philandering
around on pleasure bent. Mr.. DalzeIl, Mr..
Townsend and Mr.. Bayne are always there,
on guard for Western Pennsylvania, and it
will be cold day indeed when we get left
with them to look after our interests.
TEAT ATTACK ON QUAY.
Everywhere we are interrogated as to
what Mr.. Quay will do in regard to the
dreadful story" OF the New York World.
As we do not know We keep quiet, and for
the honor OF our Representative we Keep
stiff upper lip and maintain dead silence,
but all whom he represents in Pennsylvania
are alike anxious to haye his answer and de-
tense. 1t is quite dreadful to feel that
in the highest legislative body of the country
we are not represented, or that being
represented, we are under cloud, ard ever
on the defense. We want men in the Ma
tional Congress to be proud OF, as to brains
and powers. Pennsylvania is a grand old
State, and those standing for her, should be
men of the grandest capacity, rarest ability,
and noblest powers OF intellect.
To have Quay rampaging around the
South, and Cameron, the dickens knows
where, is not an instructive or inspiring
spectacle for Pennsylvanians-even if Blair
has the floor for ever and ever, amen. They
would like look at them il nothing else.
1t would be a pleasure to feel that Pennsyl-
vania had some show in the Senate, whether
the world waggad or not.
