THIS Is BUSINESS.

When the Americus Club was formed
The DISPATCH was gratifed to be able to
point out how it and kindred local organi-
cations could be of service to the city by ad-
vocating measures for the development of
our home interests. That the Americus or
ganization appreciates these possibilities is
shown by its success in getting an tndorse-
ment for the Lake Erie Canal at the late
convention of State clubs in Philadelphia.
1t is not surprising to hear there was some
opposition from the political agents of cor
porate interests on that occasion. Neither
is it surprising that the Pittsburgers, being
enthusiastically earnest, oyercame that op-
position.
Let all our local clubs, without regard to
faction or partisanship, unite in standing
up for whatever will help Pittsburg, and
we shall soon begin to see how what are
now merely rose-colored projects will quick
ly become realities, fraught with prosperity
for this town.

1T WAS AN AWFUL MOMENT.

For few moments yesterday the prolon-
cation of the Congressional session was an
awful possibility. Mr.. Allen, the humor-
Gus representative from Mississippi, was de-
MED the privilege of extending his remarks
in that wonderful volume of romance, the
Congressional Record. But Republican
speaker who followed him was accorded that
permission, and Mr.. Allen, who had been
tricked unfairly in another way, was natu-
rally indignant. Just for once he was able
to defy the iron rules of Mr.. Reed, and the
crushing majority behind the Speaker. Mr..
Allen simply called attention to the fact
that quorum was not present and that the
adjournment OF the House therefore could
not be considered. With the prospect be-
fore him of indefinite continuance of the
session Mr.. Mckinley generously moved
that Mr.. Allen be allowed to print anything
and everything he wanted in the Record
Thus lively campaign speech may be ex-
pected to appear in the Record, and as our
readers are glad to know, the House ad-
iourned,

THE STEEL STANDARD.

The discussion of the proposition to mod
ify the standards for steel in the new naval
vessels, in these columns yesterday, left one
point unexplained which, in justice to the
Pittsburg steel trade, should be noticed
That is the lack of foundation for the state
nIent that no firm but Carnegie, Phipps &
Co is able to furnish steel that will meet the
standard of the Navy Department
The averment to that effect was made by
the Washington correspondence of the Bos-
ton Herald; and, as THE DISPATCH said,
in the form it was made, was a splendid ad-
vertisement for the Carnegie works. Under
the impression. while the class of steel
products involved was not specified, that it
referred to the structural forms, the direct
truth Of the statement was allowed to pass
unchallenged. Further investigation show
ing that the forms of steel involved in the
dispute are plates and rivets, it becomes
pertinent to say that the allegation is en-
tireIv without foundation.
So far from Carnegie, Phipps & Co. be-
ing the only firm in the country able to
meet the standards OF the Sicard board, there
are seven other firms in this city who, we
are assured by competent authority, are
able to meet any requirements yet made
by the Navy Department; and, of those
seven, three have been furnishing steel to
the navy with entire success. The allega-
tion of a monopoly, by reason of the high
requirements, is thus shown to be entirely
untrue.
As to the question Of modifying the
standard, there are slight differences of

EDUCATION AND CRIME,

The assertions to the effect that education
does not diminish crime were pretty thor
oughly answered by a paper read at the recent
Prison Congress. This allegation was based
on the showing Of the statistics that seventy
per cent of the convicts in certain prisons of
the country are able to read and write. On
the basis of this showing the claim has been
seriously made that it is disproof of the
tendency of common school education to
limit or deter from the commission of crimes.
As the paper referred to shows, this de-
duction from the returns is caused bv the
failure TO take into account vital factor in
the problem, namely, the proportion of il
llteracy to the population. If there were
no illiterates at all in the country, all peo-
pie convicted of crime would necessarily be
of the educated class; but that would not
prove the worthlessness of education in lim-
iting crime. Something close to
that is actually the case. When
the examination is carried back of the pris-
on returns, it is found that communities
furnishing 20 per cent of convicts able to
read and write have 95 per cent of citizens
able to read and write, and only five per
cent OF illiterates. The 95 per cent only
furnish 20 per cent of the criminal class;
the five per cent of illiterates furnish 80 per
cent of the convicts. In other words, the
ratio of the recognized criminal class is six
tunes as great among the ignorant as among
those who have any education.
1t is not to be denied that there are other
causes of crime than ignorance, or even that
other conditions beside illiteracy combine
to put the ignorant in the criminal class in
undue proportion. But so far as the statls-
tics throw any light on the relation of public
education to crime, they are decidedly
favorable. Intelligence is a restraining
force on large class of crimes.

OUR SHORT STORIES.
SHE FOUND 1T.


CHE uufolded the newspaper very deliberately
and patted it out fat in thoroughly FEM
mime way. The two newspaper men in the seat
behind were interested In her for two reasons;
she was pretty and she was reading, or about to
read the paper to which they were attached.
She was looking over the first page when the
city editor whispered to his companion: "W on
der what she'll read first"
Society gossip, perhaps" was the others
reply.
She was evidently looking for something par
ticular, for after glancing hurriedly over lthe
first page she turned it over and ran her eye
down the second. She didn't find what she
wanted. and she said to the woman beside her:
81 can't find it, but I know it's here"
Newspaper men are only human, and their
curiosity was aroused. They watched the
hunt for 'ft" with great interest She had
reached the fourth page this time and had
paused for a moment.
"She's after poem or an editorial" said the
city editor thoroughly disgusted.
But she wasn't, for she turned the paper
clean over and began barking back from the
eighth page. Whatever she sought was not on
the eighth page; 1t was not among the markets
on the seventh, or the baseball and sporting on
the sixth. The interested spectators in the
rear grew excited. AS she reached the
seventh page she gave little scream and ex-
claimed as she put gloved finger on the pa
per: Here it is! Now isn't that too sweet for
any useP'

ing, Mrs. Hodges from visit to Burlington,
Ia, and DR.. Hodges from European tour.

Everyone appeared in handsome evening

NO THANK. TO SPEAKER REED.

Speaker Reed has been won't to exult in
breaking precedents. He has keen ap-
probation no doubt of the departure made
by the House of Representatives yesterday
from the beaten track. 1t has been the
custom from time immemorial to give the
Speaker of the House complimentary vote
of thanks at the end of the season. In the
Senate the same courtesy has been extended
to the presiding officer, and both Vice
President Morton and Senator ingalls, re-
ceived the usual compliment yesterday and
responded to it in pleasant fashion. But in
the House Speaker Reeds ears heard
nothing of the sort. None Of his admiring
associates had the temerity to propose vote
of thanks to him. The House was spared a
farce, and one more record was broken by
the popular branch of the Fifty-frst Con-
preSS.

opinion among the steel interests of Pitts
burg. One leading firm, other than Car
negie, Phipps & Co., will oppose any
change in the requirements. Others, while
agreeing TO the necessity of keeping up the
standard, hold that the requirement of the
highest class of steel for some parts, which
are not vital, might be modified for the
purpose of lessening expense. There is no
dispute, however, that the standard should
be kept as high as it now is in all vital re-
spects, and that no less than eight Pittsburg
concerns can meet the requirements so as to
furnish a healthy competition.
1t is no more than justice to Pittsburg
to have this fact understood. 1t also clesrs
up the subject to have it shown that the
allegation of monopoly by reason of the
high standard Of the Sicard board, is en-
tirely in conflict with the facts.

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PITTsBURG. THURSDAY, oCT. =, 1890.
THE CLOSE OF CONGRESS.

Congress wound up its business yesterday.
1t adjourned after what, we believe, is
the longest session on record, with one excep-
tion, and that exception only exceeded this
session by few days. The session just
closed was ten months long; and, apart from
the tariff bill, it is necessary to say that the
work done during those ten months is en-
tirelv out of proportion to the time spent in
doing it.
This Congress will be judged by the tariff
bill and by its purely partisan measures,
more than by anv other work that 1t has
done. If the tariff bill, after year or two
of trial. is found to operate satisfactorily to
the country, the session will stand in history
as a good one. If it turns out, after full
trial, to be unsatisfactory, the long months
OF the session will have to be set down as
wasted. This test cannot be completed by
few months trial. While the bill is, as all
tariff legislation must be, full of compromises
and patch work, it is to be recognized
that it is a revision of the tariff carried
through by the friends of protection as
system, rather than by its enemies. The
last tariff revision lasted seven years. If
this work has been well done it ought to
last longer than that, before new tariff
tinkering is required.
Beyond this measure, which played its
part in prolonging the session, great share
of this extremely long sitting was due to the
time spent in partisan fights over the rules.
over contested elections and on the Federal
elections bill, in which the sole issue was
partisan advantage. THE DISPATCH has
expressed Itself freely concerning that class
of measures and it is not necessary to re-
peat any of its arguments. 1t is only peril
nens to point out that except for the party
spirit witch turns its views o. parliamentary
law upside down, unseats members and
tries 10 pass election bills exclusively for
the benefit of party, the tariff bill might
have been completed and Congress ad-
iourned in July or August instead of Oc-
tober.
The first session of the Fifty-hrst Congress
was full of illustrations OF the false tenden-
cies of our present pol-t:cs. T is to be
noped that the second session can correct
the record little without resorting to the
device of expunging.
