RATHER nHERnnIKG IT

IF the public were to 70 by the lucubra-
tions of the opposing committees which have
crowded the columns of the city papers
within the past few days, it might be inferred
that the choice between Gourley and Bailey
for Mayor on Tuesday was a choice between
mighty poor material. Yet, as matter of
fact, both men have for many years been in
public position; there is no charge of incom-
potency, corruption or dishonesty arising
out OF the official career of either that is
attempted to be sustained in way at all
likely to influence votes; and, notwith-
standing the violence and extravaganza of
campaign TRADES of each side against the
other, the general conviction is apt to be
that either Gourley or Bailey would make
tolerably capable and satisfactory sort of
Mayor.
Gourley's chance continues the better of
the two. He has the party majority. While,
as has been frequently shown, majorities
will kick in the case of an Objectionable can
didate, Gourley is probably as strong a can
didate as any other Republican much asso-
ciated with local politics would have been.
1ne aIIacks upon MIN lor matters unc0n-
neeted with the public service will affect
him no more, if even as much, as the simi-
lar assaults upon Judge Bailey.
As was stated in these columns at the
time of the nomination, the election will not
turn upon a choice between Gourley and
Bailey, but upon the single Issue whether
enough Republicans TO overcome the nor
NAL party majority think it best for the in
terests of the city to have Democrat in the
Mayors Office as check upon the balance
of the administration. Mere abuse of their
own party particularly if over
done-wil not win votes among this class
Judge Bailey might have won some by pre-
senting this phase of the question had be ac-
cepted Chairman Burleigh's invitation to a
joint debate. But that opportunity was de-
clined-and it is not clear that the quality
of the canvass substituted for it has been
such as to hurt Gourley's or improve the
Judges chances very much, if at all.

RATTENRERG,s PROSPECTS.

Reports come from Europe that the ap-
pointment of Alexander of Battenberg, and
erstwhile of Bulgaria, to high position in the
Austrian army indicates a large number of
indefinite possibilities. Among them it is
hinted that he may yet wear a crown, which
has its sole significance as expressing the
idea that the Austrian armies may yet take
the Danubian provinces in charge, and con-
struct a kingdom for Alexander out of what
they can hold there.
This is probably the merest vaporing. If
there were any foundation for it it would
mean that the long looked for outbreak of
war is imminent That would be the sure
result if Austria should send the Battenberg
with an army to conquer kingdom for him.
self in Servia or Bulgaria. The fact is that
Alexander is worthy of no such effort.
While gallant soldier, he displayed Ia
mentable moral weakness in not daring to
hold his position in Bulgaria against the
Cars frown. In this respect, his successor,
Ferdinand, who is equally under the Rus
sian displeasure, has proved himself greatly
the superior of his more dashing and per-
haps more military rival. 1t is not likely
that Austria will plunge Europe into war
simply to restore Alexander to his old pc
destal as hero.

THE FIRE ENGINE FARCE.

The fire engine test reached point yester-
day morning which will justify the public
in concluding that nothing was ever in
tended but to make it farce. Six weeks
have passed since the test was agreed upon.
The intervening time has been nothing but
a series of postponements first by one side
and then by the other. The various pretext is
were more or less plausible; but if there had
been half as much determination as talk
about the matter the test could hsVe been
made long ago.
The responsibility for the failure to make
the tes: yesterday is charged by the Allie
ghenY Fire Department upon the Pitts
burgers. Certainly proper energy could
have provided judges, after all these delays.
And with regard to the previous delays be-
cause the ground was flooded, the same
spirit might have sought other grounds.
The fact is that the affair which started on
the profession of a common willingness to
determine which are the best engines has
deteriorated into an elaborate performance
of making faces at each other by the two de-
partments. This is neither digni fed nor is
it serving the public interests.
We hope that after the municipal
elections are over the rival fire departments
may find time to have real test instead of
merely talking about it.

AFITTING RESPONSE.

The movement among the citizens of the
Northside to raise fund of $3.50, 900 to pro-
vide books for the new library building
which Mr.. Carnigie has furnished them is
an evidence of the universal appreciation
and enthusiasm inspired by that gentle
mans leadership in that direction. The
work of beautifying and enriching our COM
munity with buildings which are them
selves works of art, and which will contain
stores of knowledge for this and future gen.
erations, is so manifestly for the interest of
the people that it arouses the fullest and
heartiest response from the public. The
Allegheny movement, as will be seen from
our local columns, gives voice to the popu-
lar belief that the management of the libra
ry will be wholly independent of politics.
The public of PIttsburg will, when Mr..
Carnegie's magnificent gift to this city takes
concrete form, be equally prompt in their
effort to make the gift most useful.

CLEYELAND AND ALGsR.
Editor MedIlI's Guess ns to the Presidential
Nominees Of 1892.


Nominees Of 1892.
WASHINGTON, February 15-In an inter-
view published here to-day. Joseph Medill,
editor Of the Chicago Tribune, is quoted as
saying:
"Grover Cleveland does not lead the people,
but he manages to keep his thumb pretty close
to the popular pulse, and he is not at all back
ward in following whittier it directs. 1t is my
opinion that he is strong with the people on &C
count of his tariff reform ideas, that even if
Governor Hill should receive the support of
the New York delegation to the Democratic
Convention in 1892 the nomination for the
Presidency would be bestowed upon Cleveland.
His only platform is tariff revision, and if the
Republican majority act wisely they will elimi-
nate the tariff from politics and thus deprive
the Democracy of the only issue upon which
they place any reliance for the next campaign.
Some OF the articles now upon the tax list
might very properly be reduced one-half, and
this viii be guarantee to the farmers of the
country, who 81 ood like a stone wall for Repub-
icanism in the last campaign, that the prom
ises made upon stump and rostrum will be kept
by Congress.
..As to the nominee Of the Republicans in
1892 against Cleveland, there is considerable
talk In the West about General Alger, and
politicians and others who have visited my
office recently have not been at all chary in
expressing the opinion that he is one of the
mot available men to-day in our ranks. Un-
less Mckinley comes down from the high horse
Of protection which he is riding, his chances for
nomination will be very slim, and in the case
of Senator Sherman, of Ohio. he realizes that
his race is run. Ill-healrh and lack of ambition
still great favorite in the United States; but
the signs point to Alger as the coming man for
169A HIS strongest opponent will be Chauncey
NJ. Depew, who. if he could overcome the oppo-
sition Of the grangers, would be big card, and
one likely to draw out big vote all over the

A BAD START FOR NEW STATES

Naughtiness in several public forms is
being exhibited by some of the States re-
Gently admitted into the Union. Bv yery
narrow shave North Dakota was saved the
other day from the stupendous disgrace of
shsltering under the agis of the State the
Louisiana State Lottery. At one time we
thought that North Dakota, barring her
billiards and November picnics, entered the
Union with very decent character. But a
short time has suficed to reveal North
Dakota's possession of q very undesirable
parcel of politicians, who bear striking
likeness to the worst products of corrupt
politics in the East.
Now the State Of Washington is showing
signs of bscksliding. The Seattle journal
gives us hint of this deplorable tendency
in the following paragraph:
The Chicago grand jury has indicted ten
leading gamblers, and the gaming house
keepers are fleeing from the city in great num-
bers. They might come to Seattle. This is a
nice, equable climate, and the country is grow
inc, and there is a fine opening here in that
line.
We are surprised at this bold invitation
for two reasons. Seattle will grow more
healthy without gamblers, especially of the
Chicago brand. But we are more surprised
20 hear that Seattle has any need for more

gamblers than she is reputed to have. It is
passing strange if city so far West as
Seattle is not well stocked with gamblers.
If she is her boomers should include state
ment to that effect among their astounding
claims for Seattle.
Another State somewhat older, but GER
tainly less virtuous, we refer to Nevada, is
represented by one of her citIzens as being
anxious to receive the Louisiana State Lot
terry. This ought to surprise no one. Ne
vada is in deplorable condition, morally,
financially and politically. Wickedness
has been dumped upon Nevada soil by all
the States, and lottery would be no novelty
there

PITTsBURG. SUNDAY, FER 16, 1890
THE BEST USES OF WEALTH.


The delight with which the public last
week accepted Andrew Carnegie's gifts,
actual and prospectiYe-the finished library
building in Allegheny ana the promised
library buildings for Pittsburg-shows what
opportunities are possessed by men of great
wealth for rendering to their day and gene
ration such services as will always be CRATE
fully remembered. in place of catering to
meaner ambitions or wholly to the selfshness
of narrow or personal circle. The purpose
of these Carnegie gifts is SO clearly that the
public may enjoy and improve them, that
the people took possession of the one in
Allegheny with whole-hearted apprecia-
ton and informality which more than any
thing else should delight the donor. So in
Pittsburg, also, Mr.. Carnegie's offer was no
sooner made than the whole community was
Immediately interested. No subject is more
discussed than how to carry out the Pitts
burg plan to most advantage.
But there is another effect of Andrew
Carnegie's action which is no less gratifying
to conte mplate. His example has
become at once contagious. Before the
ink is dry on his tender to Pittsburg, we
find another wealthy citizen offering a free
site for the main library worth S10O, 200, and
still others offering sites for the branch
Libraries of proportionate value. Nor is this
all In Allegheny pledges of donations to
the amount of $4,000 are already in hand
for the sdornment of the beautiful home for
literature, art and music which Mr.. Car
negie has set down in the midst of the ALLIE
ghenians. In short, it would seem as if all
at once has come in these parts a realizing
sense that private munifcence never shines
with such lasting brilisncY as when exer-
cised for the public good and enjoyment;
and the very first striking exhibition of this
spirit evokes Immediately from all quarters
not merely hearty appreciation, but hearty
cooperation. Looking at the crowds
of delighted people, of all ages and callings,
who thronged into the Allegheny building
last week, only the hopelessly mean
or eonstitutionally little, could fail to
feel proud Of what Andrew Carnegie
had done, and glad that he was identified
with this community. But much more oc-
casion for pride and qualification will there
be if it shall prove that there are many
Others ike-minded with Mr.. Carnegie, only
waiting leader. 1t is in this sense that
his offerings will be most useful, viz, in
inspiring public spirit and public interest
in the advancement of the two cities and in
the welfare and enjoyment of the people.
1t has been well said that the Carnegie,
the Schenley and the Shoenberger gifts
mark new era for Pittsburg. The common
motive for all these gifts is consideration for
the general public Such motive dignifes
the individual in the public mind beyond
anything else. To the wealthy it affords
such scope for the worthiest and most de-
ightful use of money as assuredly cannot be
rivaled by any narrower, more personal or
more selfish view of life.
