 Made-Banquet of the Committee.
 Yesterday was another big day for the orphans at the New Haven asylum. For tunately the rain held off until evening and the committee had good weather to work in. They were busy as bees yester- day and the harvest as shown by the over flowing vehicles was cheering one. Be- sides the goods collected the total cash contributions amounted to little over 5000, only little less than the amount donated last year. < At about 4 o'clock the long procession of heavily loaded carts, carriages and tally-ho coach formed on State street in front of Lieutenant Governor Merwin's office and started on its way for the asylum. EXERCISES AT THE ASYLUM.
 Anyone who could have seen the bright and expectant faces of the little children at the asylum would have been fully re- yaid for any trouble or self-denial made in their behalf. The children did not begin to take their share in the days proceedings until the afternoon, school exercises con- tinuing during the forenoon, as usual. In the afternoon the crowds of visitors began to call and pay visit of inspection all through the asylum. Everything was in its usual neat and comfortable good order, with few extra preparations made in honor of the day. The school children gave an exhibition | in the school room that attracted large audience, and seldom does program give greater satisfaction than the following one which they rendered.: weIeome SsSagocsehoql; cSsl .,, ' In a Glass Holse-AIbert Mohr.

creditable and pacific demonstration of
the bone and muscle of the city, which i'm
pressed everyone in the most favorable
way. The parade of thousands of working
men in their various unions and societies
permitted an impressive review of the in
dustrial strength of Pittsburg.
In our local columns will be found inter-
views with number of the workingmen on
the condition of labor In the various depart
ments of industry. These interviews will
show that labor is generally prosperous, be-
cause manufacturing industry is active.
The prosperity of nearly all classes of enter
prises has enabled labor generally to fix
its own rate of wages, and the best feature
of the era of prosperity is that labor is fully
employed and well paid. 1t is to be hoped
that the same condition of affairs may prove
of long continuance.
Only one feature of the celebration took
an unpleasant shape, in the disposition of
some witnesses of the parade to compel the
taking down of the German flag, carried by
an organization of that nationality. Of
course it was bad taste to carry the banner
of q foreign Government in a parade of
American workingmen; but it is equally
certain that those who carried it had no in
tention either of derogstion of American su-
premacy in this land or denial of their al
legiance to American law. Under no cir
cumstances was it anything but violation
of American law and order to attempt to
pull down the flag by force. The worst con-
struetion that can reasonably be put on
the carrying of that flag is not greater of
fense against the Government than a resort
to rioting In the streets.
This, of course, does not in any way in
volve the credit or the good order of the Ia
boring men in their demonstration of yester-
day. Their bearing was of the best charac-
ter, and the streets yesterday showed that
Pittsburg's labor celebration was remark
ably characterized by sobriety and peace
fulness.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
AI0-year-old boy who contemplates contest
ing for your Exposition descriptive prizes, put
the question, "Who will decide as to the best
written article?" When told that one of the
staff would likely be the judge. he answered
that "He may not know good descriptive ar
ticle when he saw it, or would likely have some
friend whom he would favor"
To set his mind at rest and spur him on to
write description, please advise how the de-
cision will be arrived at. C.S.

1.-THE Specrer of Favoritism need not alarm
any of the contestants. The editors of The
DISPATCH will be the judges. The articles will
be carefully weighed in the newspaper scales,
and newspaper men should be the best judges.
The editor of The DISPATCH will guarantee
fairness. Itwould not be good policy to select
outsiders to read and pass upon the competi-
tlons, any more than it would be wise for medi-
cal or law students TO pass examinations before

WORKING A BUGBEAR-

The declaration of Senator Emery that
the tariff question will not be affected BY the
independent movement in favor of Pattison
because the independent Republicans will
support the Republican candidates for
Congress, stirs up the Philadelphia Inquirer
to lengthy effort to prove the contrary.
The sum total of its argument is that Cleve-
land desires the election of Pattison, and
that the success of the latter would be the
first step to the success of the former in 1892.
The Inquirer is plainly hard up for bug
bears when it is driven to this sort OF argu-
ment Probably Cleveland does desire
the success of Pattison just as most
other Democrats do, but the success of
Pattison cannot give single electoral vote
to Cleveland, nor add single Congressional
vote to the side of the free traders. Even
If Cleveland should be elected in 1892
about which the Inquirer seems especially
apprehensive-lt should not affect the tariff
question. If the tariff issue is not settled
before Cleveland as President could have
anything to say about it, it will be because
the Republican party in Congress has proved
utterly incapable OF carrying out an INTEL
ligent policy.
A vote for Mr. Pattison cannot affect
in the slightest degree the election of
members of the House, where all tariff
measures must originate, or the election of
Senators, or the choice of Presidential elec-
tor. The fight on State issues has been
kept wholly distinct from the campaign on
Congressman, and. vote for Pattison is
simply a vote for clean administration, and
for the supremacy of the Constitution over
the corporations.
The Philadelphia organ must be con-
WINGED Of the desperate condition of its
cause when it tries to raise the tariff bugbear
over the election of an official who cannot
in the most remote degree affect the passage
of tariff measures.

NO CAsUS BELLI.

We had better wait to hear from both
sides before any attempt is made to erect the
killing of Barrundia, on board the Pacific
Mail steamer Acapulco, into a cdSus belli OF
even into political issue. The reports that
have been published are obviously one
sided, but even they are such as to make it
tolerably clear that there was no outrage on
the American flag.
1t would be remarkable theory of inter-
national law to claim that steamers lying in
port are free from the jurisdiction OF that gov
ernment there. No such claim has ever been
set upas between civilized nations, even Eng
land, which is most Jealous in guarding the
rights OF her merchant marine, having sub
mitted to the taking of refugees from Eng
lish ships while in the ports of the govern
ment ordering the arrest. To illustrate by
a famous case, the United States gave up
Mason and Slidell because they were taken
from the Trent on the high seas; but if that
steamer had taken its passengers first to the
port Of New York and thence to Boston, the
right of the United States to arrest them
would have been indisputable.
As to the part OF Minister Mlzner In the
matter, if be undertook the task of hunting
down a Guatemalan political fugitive, he
did very improper thing which would
Justify his recall. But the reports are so
plainly inspired by enmity to him that it
will be wise to wait for his story. 1t is
plain that if he were called upon by one
party or the other to give his opinion as to
whether the Acapulco, while in the port of
San Jose, was beyond the jurisdiction of
Guatemala, his statement of the law would
be a very different thing from that which is
represented.
: There is no necessity for the eagle TO
scream over the affair. 1t is clear that no
right Of the United States has been violated,
and it is very doubtful whether Mr.. Miner
did anything more than his duty.

The eccentricities of free trade logic re-
ceive marked illustration in the editorial de-
claration of the Philadelphia Re cord that IF
Congress should admit the raw sugar of Cuba
free under the reciprocity amendment of Sena-
tor Aldrich, while retaining protective duty
on refined sugars, American consumers would
derive no substantial benefit from the change"
The present duty on refined sugar is 315 cents,
which the Democratic papers including the
Record were declaring short time ago to be a
revenue duty. The duty proposed in the Senate
is $40 of cent, and that passed by the House,
was 40. Thus the Record informs us that the
consumer would get no substantial benefit from
a reduction in duty of about cents, but that
duty one-sixth of that already asserted te be
revenue duty will be protective duty The
free-trade logic is wonderfully constructed.

A CORRECT DECISION.

JUDGE TREDswAY, of Roanoke county, Va,
was one of the mildest old gentlemen that
ever sat on bench, and for some 40 years he
pursued the even temper of his way under
the most irritating circumstances. Then his
son Jim was admitted to the bar, and Jim was
enough to try the patience of any sober father.
Jim always had one thing on The docket for
court day. 1t was to accumulate large and
very loquacious jag Having got that his next
business was to interrupt the lawyers and show
how much of a nuisance he could be. His father
fined him at first, but, as he had to pay Jim's
fines or remit them, he quit that. OIe day Jim
was more than usually talkative. His father re-
peatedly told him to keep quiet, and threatened
to send him to Jail, and finally, In an outburst
of indignation, he said:
"Mr. Tredsway! Sit down, sir! You are
drunkr
Jim cast drunken leer at the old man, and
replied:
''I'n do it. Yonner. Thatsh tn only cree de-
cision you've made to-day"

TALMAGE PICKS THE STRINGS.

The Great Divine Has a Little Audience
Nearly Every Evening.
New York Herald.1
The Rev. DR.. Talmage is sadly missed by his
neighbors in Brooklyn in more ways than one.
So. if it is pleasant thing to be missed" the
popular preacher probably has plenty of
pleasure. Everybody knows that the Doctor is
fond of music, but they are unaware that he
can expertly play the banjo. Yet il is true.
Before he departed upon his vacation he
pretty regularly made the early evenings
melodious with the mellow 'pink-a-punk, pank-
a-punk, pank-pank pank, thrum-m-m" of his
favorite instrument as he sat in the back
parlor of his residence on South Oxford street.
The windows were usually open and the touch
ing strains of some old.time melody ioated out
upon the air.
When he began strollers in:the adjacent park
paused to listen and people in nearby houses
came to their windows in order that they should
not miss single note. Such sweerly tuneful
airs as Annie Laurie" Comm Through the
Rye" and"Away Down Upon the Suawanee
Ribber' were favorites with him, and when he
played them his eager auditors always felt like
Joining in the refrain. But now the house is
silent and the banjo laid away. No wonder he
is missed.

PITTsBURG. TUESDAY. SEPT. 2, 1890.
PARK ENTRANCE AND LIBRARY SITE.

THE DIsPATCH's s New York correspond
ent buttonholed Messrs. Scott and Bigelow
as they disembarked from the steamer
Servia yesterday, and secured the informa-
tion that the latter had obtained from Mrs.
Schenley a contract which, if accepted by
the CITY. will secure the ground for the
Forbes street entrance TO Schenley Park.
The details OF the contract were not, OF
course, disclosed; but it may be presumed
that they are such as to satisfactorily adjust
all disputed matters in that connection.
This location OF the Park entrance is un-
derstood to carry with it practicable site
for the Carnegie Art Gallery and possibly
for the central building of the Carnegie
Library. The formal decision as to the
location of the Library is possible until the
subject is presented with all its details to
presented to that body, practically
as the choice of Mr.. Carnegie.
there would not probably be much
disposition on the part of the Commission to
dispute his choice. There is no doubt that,
in the course of years, this site will be a
center of communication, and that the
proximity of the Library and Art Gallery
to the Park will add to the attractions of
the vicinity. Until that time is reached,
however, the choice of that location would
give the downtown branch increased i'm
portance in the conduct of the system of
libraries.
Progress on the Library project has been
held in abeyance until the site question can
be settled. If the proposition from Mrs.
Schenley, brought back by Mr. BigelOw, is
acceptable to the city, work can now go on
In earnest.
