a reform; and we hope that our esteemed CO.
temporaries of New York and Philadelphia
may induce the public to establish marked
salival reform. The fact that this Is the
only point insisted upon. leaves the infer
ence that there must be in those cities an
idyllic freedom from other infractions Of
public good manners. It is to be supposed
that when all the seats are occupied pas
sengers do not crowd about the door, pre-
venting the egress and ingress Of others; or
that young women do not retain their seats
when older women are standing; or that the
superabundant hoodlum does not impose his
stentorian and jocose profanity on car
load Of passengers.
Certainly, if the public conveyances of
the cities where the reform of expectoration
is being urged, were not wholly free from
these more violent exhibitions of bad man
ners, the reformers of the public could not
abstain from giving more attention to them
than to mere matter of splitting.

ANOTHER REsERYATIoN WANTED

1t is said that the Navajo tribe, which
has for many years sustained the reputation
of being the most peaceful. industrious and
prosperous of the Indians, by pursuing the
industry of cattie-raising in Northwestern
New Mexico, is in danger of being thrust out
of Its land. The search for the foundation
of that famous myth among mines the
''Lost Adams Nine" has been directed into
the Navajo reservation; and prospectors
have returned with glowing stories of the
wealth to be found there. OF course this
creates demand for the Indians land, and
the potent backing which such schemes al
ways find in Washington renders the solemn
compact by which this land is guaranteed
to the Navajoes rather insecure title. The
close of the Century of Dishonor" by
taking the Navajo reservation away from
that intelligent tribe, would have the sole
virtue of consistency with the former policy
OF this Government.

WHAT TIE CENSUS WILL SHOW.

This week the work of the census will
begin. Everybody will look with interest
for the showing of the country-at-large and
of the cities especially. 1t is within remem-
brance what sharp rivalry lay between
Chicago, Cincinnati and St. Louis twenty
years ago, and again ten years later, as to
which should show the greatest increase of
population. That was when the capabilities
of the country were not so fully understood,
and each place was supposed to threaten the
growth and prosperity of the other. But in
more recent times the divisibility of trade
and population is better known, and the
great cities not only find less reason for jeal-
ousy Of one another, but they can actually
view with complacency the creation Of other
and newer great cities whose imposing di-
mensions date no further back than dec
ade or two. Kansas City, Minneapolis and
St Paul can swell to magnificent propor-
tions without hurting the markets of Chi
cago or St. Louis.
We all know how Pittsburg, Allegheny
and the boroughs round about have been
growing, but it is doubtful if the census re
turns will not astonish even the most san
guine. They certainly will surprise the
outside world on the population of Allie
gheny county. In 1880 the figures were
346, 900. THE DISPATCH will feel sur
prised if they do not approach 6OO0 900 very
closely for 1890.
OF course, by reason of the division into
separate municipal corporations, Pittsburg
and Allegheny will not have the rank on
the list of American cities which united they
would have. But the ratio OF increase will
not, in many instances, be surpassed-while
the showing for the whole county, both in
population, trade and manufactures, is sure
to be one of the most remarkable in the en-
tire census reports. This can be predicted
with absolute certainty from the material
and visible signs all around us.

MARY ANDERsOEs FUTURE.
Her Ideas of Her Befrothed md Her Plans
for Married Life.

for Married Life.
From the Louisville Commercial.J
That Mary Anderson, "Our Mary" is going
to get married has been known for some time,
but the exact time of her marriage and where
she would make her home after marriage have
heretofore been only matters for coDjec-
ture. 1t is now known when her mar
riage will occur and where she will live
A few days ago a relative of Miss Anderson
received q letter from her, which gave a de-
scription of the man she was going to make her
better half. In it she tola of Me manv pleas
ant days they had spent together in the Levant,
and acknowledged herself to be desperately in
love with her afianced. While she acknowl-
edged that he was not good looking. she
clothed him with so many virtues that good
looks became unnecessary.
Any one who would read that letter would
have their opinion changed concerning this
woman; that is, II they had the general public
opinion which makes this beautiful queen Of
the stage being of marble; for it shows the
line. In this letter she said that
while the exact date of the marriage
had not been determined on it would
probably take place in the early fall, that
is. about the middle Of September or the first
of October. After the marriage she will go to
housekeeping in New York. A house has been
secured in Madison Square, and there the ideal
Hermione will settle and live. no longer ruler
of the stage with thousands thrilling at the
sound of her voice. but simply happy woman,
the queen Of q happy home.

THE MORALITY OF DRUMMERs.

The strained relations which have arisen
between the Grand Council of the United
Commercial Travellers Association. which is
the somewhat imposing name adopted by
the drummers' organization, and the post
master of Oswego, New York, develops
some indiscretion on both sides.
The fact that the postmaster, who is also
an editor asserted in his publication that
the drummers' profession is zone composed
of rakes and profigates," exhibits loose
and sweeping use of language. The ques-
tion of accuracy involved in terming the
business OF displaying samples profession,
is important. Although the business is
full of professions, we fear that it can hardly
be awarded that rank. As to the moral
character of that ubiquitous interest we
must protest that the deliveranee is altogether
too sweeping. There are rake and profit
gates in all lines of trade. Even that SOL
emn business of funeral directing may be
suspected of comprising exceptional indi-
viduals who, in their leisure moments, lay
aside the chastened and expensive mourn
fulness which they furnish to order, and en-
joy the pleasure of dissipation for season.
Bnt it is not just to impose the delinquen-
cies of individuals upon the whole business,
or argue ez pede that drumming and fu-
neral directing are essentially bad be-
cause they give employment to dark-hued
and dissipsted sheep.
The retort of the drummers to this attack
on their good reputation evidently inspired
Sdml of Posen's contention that "the drum
mer is the most innocent man on the road"
Nevertheless, it goes to extremes. They de-
mand of President Harrison the removal of
the offending postmaster, which is decided
nOn-seQuitur. No rule OF the postal service
is violated by free, if mistaken, expression of
opinion concerning the drummers. If it were
part of the duties of postmasters to pass
upon the moral character of trade agents.
or, if this particular postmaster withheld
the mail of the commercial travellers on ac-
count Of their desperately sinful character,
then there would be good ground for the
demand. But the fact is that the obnoxious
opinion was not expressed as postmaster.
1t was in his capacity as editor that he de-
livered this sweeping condemnation, and, il
the modesty OF the drummers does not pre-
vent them from pushing the war further,
they should direct their efforts to securing
his removal from the editorial position
which is employed for such attacks.
But we hope that the cruel conflict will
not go on. The commercial travellers may
reflect that such unfounded accusations will
not whit detract from their usefulness as
Sabbath school teachers, or at all diminish
the success of their evangelical labors in
distributing the best goods in their line at
the cheapest prices Neither moral reputa-
tions or official heads need be taken off so
far as this quarrel is concerned, and the
religious and commercial systems of the
country can move right along as if nothing
bad been said.

BAD MANNERS In PUBLIC,

The question Of manners on cable and ele-
waited railroad cars is OCCUPYING large share
of the attention of our Eastern cotempora-
ries. The particular point on which reform
is attempted is that of expectoratlon on the
floor of the cars. There is a vigorous at
tempt to abolish the obnoxious practice al
together, which is decided advance on the
standard of manners set up some years ago
by legends declaring that Gentlemen must
use the spittoons." leaving no alternative
for the contingency that the gentlemen
might have no use at all for that article.
As the euspidor would be an evident OBJ
struction in the street cars, it is evident
that the new reform proposes to altogether
abolish the habit of public expectoration.
AL success can be wished tor SO laudable

WEEKLY FINANCIAL CIRCULAR,
Henry Clews Gives Some Advice to Stock
Market ManipuIators.

Henry CIews Gives Some Advice to Stock
Market ManipuIators.
NEW YORK, June L-Henry Clews says: The
course of the stock market during the past
week has been irregular. The heavy realizings
of large operators during the previous week
had distributed considerable blocks of stocks
among a miscellaneous class of buyers, who
thereupon were subjected TO attacks from the
"bears," and received no support from the pre-
vious holders. The market has therefore been
a shifting and unsettled one and quotations
have generally ruled lower. The strength of
prices has been sharply tested. and a consider
able amount of stock held on stop orders has
been forced to sale. Beyond this the market
has had to contend with an unusual number of
adverse influences which were too much for
more favorable factors to offset.
The market, as it now stands, has two Sides
and neither one to be despised. The bears have
the accidents in their favor and a considerable
following. The bulls are depending upon
growing tendency toward ease In the loan
market l advise our customers to watch she
struggle between the two sides. rather than to
plunge in as participants. For the next week
the safe course will be found in selling long
stocks on all moderate rallies and buying only
on sharp breaks, which will be quite frequent
hereafter. 1t is not likely to be agood market
on which to buy with view to holding for q
long perioc.

The Sad Anniversary Firtingly Observed In
All the Churches.
rsPEoIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPAroH.I
JoHNsTowN, June L-Memorial services
were held in many of the churches to-day, and
in all of them reference was made to the great
disaster in the sermon. At the service in be-
half Of the Knights of Pythias In the M. E.
Church, every member Of that order was pres
ent, and the exercises were very solemn. The
anniversary exercises Of the Y. M. c. A. in the
afternoon were particularly impressive as 40
many Of the former leading members had been
drowned.
On account of the failure to have the day
properly observed on the anniversary of the
flood, movement is on foot to combine here
after the memorial exercises, with the regular
Decoration Day exercises. as 1t is believed that
on account Of the two days coming SO close
together. neither will be properly observed.
The observances to-day were much more i'm
pressive than yesterday. which was the flood
anniversary.
