of the South Perm called for his approval
OF these measures. But no one who has fol-
lowed Governor Pattison's career will
deem the intimations of pecuniary in
fuence, with no one standing up to accept
the responsibility for them as Emery does
for his assertions, as anything more than the
joint production of corporate enmity and
partisan malice.
The publication of this story,ii it is given
full discussion, will prove boomerang to
the Republicans. 1t will call public al
tention to the fact that under Republican
administration the rights of the people as
against the corporations have been neg
lected and betrayed, and that the corporate
edicts have risen superior to the Consti-
tuition and the courts. 1t will also empha-
size the fact that one vigorous independent
man in the person of Governor Pattison
brought the South Penn deal to dead halt
and kept it there Sc long as he was in the
Governors chair.

A THREAD BARE STORY.

A Pittsburger travelling in West Virginia
encloses to The DISPATCH a clipping
from the Baltimore Sun, which has before
attracted attention here, and which alleges,
in connection with talk about the tariff, that
reveals its animus that Pittsburg treated
the British and German visitors inhospita-
bly, both as regards providing them with
quarters and in not showing them our
factories. Our correspondent says that he
has been 'twitted more than once" with
this. In reply to his complaint we can only
say that if people twit him with what has
already been shown to be a shallow fabrica-
tion circulated at this time solely to crafty
a rabidly sectional partisanshsp, it is not
Pittsburg's fault The story has been fully
refuted; the foreign guests have expressed
and repeated their appreciation of the en-
tertainment they had here; but as journals
of the Baltimore Suns stripe persist in
knowing more about it than either enter
tainers or entertained, we suppose that there
is no remedy for its exceedingly cheap
method of gratifying sectional dislike.

BOTH SILLY AND VICIOUS.

The appearance in the local political Cos
sip of threat if Mr.. Dalzell has less than
$4,000 majority and the next House is
Democratic, it will unseat him for his
participation in uuseating Democrats who
had that majority, is a remarkable illus
tration of the degree to which partisanship
can lead people to ignore the fundamental
principles of free government.
OF course such talk is utter nonsense, and
no such scheme is entertained by any Dem
ocratic leader. If it were a part of the
Democratic policy. it would furnish the
strongest reasons for its defeat, as no party
that could contemplate such policy in ad-
vance is to be trusted by the people. That
nonsense of this sort can even be uttered in
an intelligent constituency is sign of the
degradation of politics below the principles
of Democratic government. Every intelli-
gent man should know that the foundation of
free government is the representation of
the people by those who have been hon.
estly elected to represent them. Ii that is
denied by unseating man who is acknowl-
edged to be fairly elected, it is simply over
throwing in that particular case the right of
the people to govern themselves.
1t is worth while to speak plainly about
this because such wild threats have been
heard in other quarters. They amount to
saying that because the Republicans, in the
heat OF conflict, permitted themselves to
unseat men of whose election there is little
room for doubt, therefore the Democrats
will make more wanton assault on consti-
tutional government by unseating men
whose election they acknowledge, simply for
the sake of revenge. The DISPATCH has
expressed itself plainly about the action of
the last Congress in deciding contests purely
by partisan interest; and it is necessary to
say that for the Democrats to retaliate in
kind would be a worse public offense
because it would be an avowed violation of
the fundamental law of representative insti-
tutions.
OF course such threats are mere talk;
but it is of the kind that stultifes the
takers. 1t puts them in self-avowed posi-
tion of intending to inf1ict the same wrong
which they denounce when committed Dy
their opponents.

THEY IGNORE THE LAW.

The fight ofthe warning railroads in the
West affords peculiar illustration of the
way in which the big corporations deem
themselves at liberty to ignore their legal
and constitutional requirements. The
Union Pacific, having made special terms
with one Chicago line, demanded from others
a larger share of the rates on the through
freight which passed to and from their lines
and that of the U UnioD Pacific. These roads
responded by united action canceling all
,pro-rating arrangements with Union Pa
cific. Now there happens to be legal re-
quirement that all roads shall receive and
forward the through freight of all connect
ing lines without delay or Determinations;
and this requirement is not only enacted by
their charters but has been decided by the
courts to arise out of the conditions of their
charters. The real status Of the quarrel is
that the Union Pacific proposed to commit
an illegal act, and the opposing roads re-
sponded by committing in body the same

The Hyphen in Proper Names.

The Hyphen in Proper Names.
To the Editor of The Dispatch.
In your issue of the 256h inst. your were asked
by a correspondent ito explain the use of the
hyphen in proper names, such as Clarence
Brown-Smith; but, instead of explaining it, you
enormously reply that it is matter of individ-
ual taste. and it is fashionable in England"
AS fact neither taste nor fashion has any
thing to do with it. but it is controlled by law.
1t is necessary in England, in particular
cases. in order that certain persons may inherit
or succeed to titles and estates belonging TO
relatives whose surnames are not the same as
their owD, to assume the surnames of the per-
sons from whom the estates and titles are de-
rived, or by whom conferred by will; but can, at
the same time. retain their patronymlc. And in
such cases the two surnames are transformed
into one by the use of the hyphen, and which
use indicates the derivation of the names.
Two familiar examples which now are in my
mind are those of Edward Bulwer, the we'll
known English author and statesman, and Miss
Burdett. the English philantbropist. daughter
of Sir Francis Burdett. Mr.. Bulwer's mother
was Elizabeth Barbara Lytton, a family which
claimed descent from the Tudors and the royal
line of Britain. She was sole heiress of the
Knebworth estates. In 1874 her sol Edward
succeeded to these estates and assumed his
mothers name. and retaining his fathers, he
wrote his name Bulwer-Lytton, and was after
ward known as Lord Lytton.
Miss Burdett's maternal grandfather was
Thomas Coutts, a wealthy banker. He married
late In life and lett WIDOW, VINO married the
Duke of st. Albans. but the Duchess. having
no children of her own, made her first hus-
bands granddaughter. Miss Burdett. her heir
ess, on condition that she should ass ne the
name of Coutts. This she did, of course. in
legal manner, and connected it with her patro-
nymic by a hyphen, and thenceforth was known
by the name and title of Baroness Angela
Georgina Burdett-Coutts.
1t will be observed in each OF these Two cases
that of the two names connected with n.y.
phen, the first gives the surname of the father
and the second the surname of the mother of
the person to whom the title and estates de-
scended by operation of law or were legally
conferred by will G. l. E.

GOOD COUNTRY ROADS.

Interest in the Subject Awakened All Over
the United States.
From the New York Times.i
In Massachusetts, chair has been recently en-
dowed at the Boston School of Technology, to
be known as the Chair of Public Roads.
Chauncey B. Ripley says that he has reason to
believe that not only in Pennsylvania, Massa-
chusetts, and New York especially-a society
having recently been formed to promote the
improvement of public roads-has interest in
this subject, but that there is hardly an East
ern or Middle State that has not taken on new
zeal in the matter of the improvements of roads.
In Tennessee the Vanderbilt University in
structs free of charge one person from each
county to supervise roads. During the coming
session of the Legislature bills for this purpose
will be introduced in Ohio. Virginia, Maryland
and Rhode Island, in addition to the States
mentioned New Hampshire has recognized
the importance of good roads in the White
Mountain district by making State apprODria-
tons for the construction and repair of the
principal county and town roads.
