Railroad was followed very closely by the
fatality on the Old Colony road, near Boston,
and that, in turn, is succeeded by the acci-
dent on the Mt Penn gravity road, near
Reading.
If there is any foundation for the theory
of the concurrence Of railroad disasters,
these accidents bear out the idea that it is
founded on the liability Of railroad man.
ayers and their subordinates to become
negligent and forget the duty OF constant
caution. OF the three accidents named
not to speak of those of so much less
destructiveness as to escape public
attention-those at Boston and Read
ing are very clearly the result of
criminal carelessness. The carelessness was
of different character in each case. But
that neglect or parsimony of some sort was
the case Of these, and of the great majority
OF such casualties, is nearly beyond dispute.
This indicates very clearly the way in
which to arrest such epidemics OF casualties.
The remedy that will be eficacious, is the
imposition of criminal penalties wherever
such carelessness occurs. The higher up IN
the management OF the roads this remedy
can be applied, the more eficacious it Will
be in preventing such epidemics.

respondent puts it, we might require states
man never to be swayed by considerations of
personal advancement; to be always un-
selfish; and to only recognize the motives of
pure patriotism. Yet If that standard were
established, we fear that the statesmen who
have been known in the worlds history
could be counted on the fingers. Meter
mich, Talleyrand, Napoleon and Bismarck
would be excluded by it. 1t is doubtful if
even Cromwell in one era and Cavour at an
other, would not fall short of the test.
Washington and William the Silent might
meet the test. We will have to recognize
that statesman may be selfish and even
corrupt, like Francis Bacon; and that in the
majority of cases he will be, like Lincoln,
or Gladstone, great politician.
Taking the term in any sense that is prac-
teal and applying it to Mr.. Blaine, we
would say that his political qualities rise
more nearly to the breadth and height Of
craftsmanship, than those of any other of
our political leaders contemporary with him.
1t is true that his Congressional career
showed little in the way of measures of
national and permanent character. But in
his opportunities for the past ten years,
namely, as Secretary of State in 1881, and
in the same position at present, he can be
said to have developed policy that is en-
titled to that rank. bis Inauguration nine
years ago of the plan of uniting the Ameri-
can republics in closer commercial
and political relations, and his re-
sumption of that policy when he
returned to the same Office, have
not only the international breadth and wide
scope, but the persevering determination of
craftsmanship. His course in urging the
reciprocal Improvement of our South Amer
ican trade, is also, as The DISPATCH has
previously said, an evidence that he still
remains 1.-THE man of quickest apprehen-
sion and broadest grasp in the Republican
party"
The DISPATCH has not hesitated to pay
due attention to Mr.. Blaine's faults. Those
weak spots in his character have been so
we'll known and made so much of, in the
past, that they need not be recounted here.
But in answer to our correspondents in
quiry, we say that at present the Secretary
of State is displaying more OF the intellec-
tual qualities OF craftsmanship than any of
his contemporaries.

Canoes and Cameo Cutting Under Ancient

From Blackwood's Magazine.l
The most famous extanr gems are perhaps
the Gemma Augustea in Vienna, sardonyx
nearly a quarter Of yard long, on which the
triumph OF Augustus is cut in the rarest work
manship by Dioscorides, Of Rome. There are
magnIfcently cut antique amethysts. though
rock crystal was, and is, mainly used for
vases and cups. / saw beautiful mod
ern vase at Oberstein in the shape Of
a shell IL or IA inches long-chiefy, how
ever, filling me with regret for the vanished
beauty of the one perfect crystal out of which
1t had been cut. The man asked f5 for 1t. A
much larger cameo than the Gemma Augustea
was lot in the storm of the Tuileries In 1848.
About the largest extant gem-a sardonyx
worked in five layers and representing Tiberius
and Livia and various other personages-there
is an odd story. 1t Is called La Cameo de Ia
Sainte Chapelle, and was given to st. Louis of
France. who set it up in the Sainte Chapelle as
q representation of Joseph's dream.
The art OF cutting gems fingered on in Con-
stantinople after the fall of the Empire, but
few stones were cut in Western Europe.
Charlemagne used as his seal an antique gem
with the head of Jupiter Scraps; Pepin lie Bref
one with Bacchus. In 1866 Giovanni Bernardo
cut stones SO beautifully for Lorenzo de Me-
dici that he was called Giovanni dele Carniole,
and cotemporary of his was named Domenico
del Kamei. The Picklers Tyrolese artists, set
tied in Rome in the eighteenth century. cut
gems SO perfectly that they had to sign them to
prevent their passing as veIitable antiques.

THE MT. PENN HORROR.

In the accident on the. gravity railroad
up Mount Penn, near Reading, four per-
sons were killed and many more badly hurt
In some respects the horror of this calamity
is unique. The luckless passengers in the
runaway car had time enough to contem-
plate the frightful end of their journey down
the mountain side. It is terrible to think
of helpless humanity in those moments
of suspense. More to the purpose
is it to consider how criminal the careless
ness which allowed the car to escape. IF
the accident was due. as is hinted, to de-
sire of the railroad company to experiment
with new brakes, the responsible managers
should be severely and promptly punished.
The experiment of making corporations
careful OF the public safety is worth trying
in this State, in spite of its novelty.

THE PIG IRON RETURNS.

The statistics of the Census Bureau on
the production of pig iron. evok; an inter-
esting comparison of the growth of that in
dustry since 1880. An output of 6, ,579. .779
tons for this year. against 3,787, ,021 in 1880,
shows a growth in the production of pig iron
that is remarkable. Such an expansion in
an industry which was considered to have
developed its greatest prosperity before the
last decade, is both striking and gratifying.
A large number of conclusions might be
drawn from this fact; but the one which has
the most instructiveness is the prosperity
and increase of consumption which it shows
to result from an era of low prices. During
the entire decade in which this enormous
increase in the production of pig iron has
taken place, prices of pig iron have remained
at about the $40 level or q little lower.
No combinations have been able to put the
prices up because the industry was too vast
to be combined. Competition and the
economies and improvements which it pro-
duces have enabled modern furnaces to pro-
duce pig iron at prices which, in the pre-
vious decade, were thought to be ruinous.
What has been the result of this ten years
of cheap prices? The population of the
United States in the ten years has increased
twenty-eight per cent; the consumption of
pig iron has increased 1s0 per cent. The in
crease is more remarkable when we reflect
that railroad construction, which formerly
was great factor in the iron market, has
been hardly larger this year than in 1880.
If we should exclude the demand for rail-
road construction it would probably appear
that the effect of continued cheap iron. with
small margins and steady trade, has been
that while the population has increased less
than one-third the use of iron by the people
has been multiplied by three.
There could not be more magnificent
demonstration of the falsity of the theories
about artifeially sustained prices, and the
permanent benefit of steady competition,
low prices and moderate profits.

AyICTORY FOR QUAY,

Senator Quay has won with remarkable
ease at Washington. His key has unlocked
the situation, and Senator Hoar has a sad
waste of fiery oratory to regret. We did not
expect such complete and speedy accept
ance Of Mr.. Quay's remedy by the Repub-
lican party in the Senate, al
though, as we have said over
and over again, we regarded it as
the only eficacious medicine in sight.
Now the country can rest in the assurance
that the tariff bill will be a law in very
little while, and that all the really needful
legislation will be enacted before Congress
rises. For this it is only fair to say Mr..
Quay deserves the praise. The situation
must be intensely satisfactory to him, if only
as a complete annihilstion Of his enemies
prophecies. The Federal election bill is on
the shelf. It should be allowed to stay
there

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PITTsBURG. SATURDAY. AUG. q. 1890.
DEEDS, NOT WORDS.

"Deeds, not words" is Ex-Governor Pat
tison's motto. the keynote of his letter of
acceptance. He can point to his record in
the office to which he aspires again with
confidence. 1t is his right to call attention
to his deeds The only Governor Pennsyl-
vania has had in late years to stand up for
the people, for their right to rule them
selves, as against the corporate powers and
political spoilsmen, Mr.. Pattison may with
propriety be brief of speech when the issue
is this very principle of self government,
home rule. His deeds are his advocates.
None more eloquent could be found.
We believe, with Mr.. Pattison, that the
candidates and the causes they respectively
represent are generally and well understood.
This is to Mr.. Psttison's advantage. 1t is
also fact that the Republican party can
hardly profit by reference to national issues.
The dismal muddle in the United States
Senate has had one good effect-it will pre-
vent Tue oUseEfataVn Va bn0 HSoA ISSUES ~ VAC
State campaign.
Mr.. Pattison has declared his willingness
to be judged by his own record, and even
the few Republican leaders who have not
been denounced by their own party as
traitors know that they cannot afford to talk
about the record of the administration and
the party majority in Congress. So, against
clear horizon, the Hon. Robert E. Patti
son stands up to be judged. He cuts big
figure of man. His pedestal of deeds lifts
him up. Ballot reform and q clean, honest
government, are what Pennsylvania wants,
and Mr.. Pattison's election will be a
triumph in that direction.

nIIRED IN LEGISLATION.

A partial explanation of the bottomless
and mired condition of our country roads In
bad weather may be found in the same con-
dition of our legislation on the subject as
brought out by the digest of the road lars
of Pennsylvania, prepared by the Secretary
of the Road Commission.
From q summary of this digest in another
column, it will be seen that there are 157
general road laws applicable all over the
State, and Just 700 special laws, applicable
to various localities. Allegheny county re-
joices in 80 special acts, which have not sue
ceeded in giving her as many miles Of good
roads.
This mass of S57 different measures on the
roads of Pennsylvania makes it natural
consequence that the roads themselves shall
be mired and torn up. 1t is very much
easier to pass all sorts of laws than to get
good work done.

A HORSE AT THE BAR.
A Reading Man Rides Into a Restaurant

A Reading Man Rides Into a Restaurant
ON Horseback.
From the Reading World.
There was an unusual sight to be seen at one
of the uptown saloons. The place is one of the
finest and most respectfully kept places in the
city, and the proprietor has dread of the prac-
tical joker. While mine host" was at the sup
per table and quiet reigned in the bar-room,
suddenly there was heard the heavy tread Of q
customer on the bar-room floor. The proprie-
tor sat down his cup of coffee, that had half
way reached his mouth, and then listened to
the heavy tread, that shook the house. He
thought that it was the approach of another
cyclone, so he leisurely arose from the table
and made for the bar-room. When be reached
the room the breath nearly left his body with
astonishmenr for right in front of the fancy
bar stood horse and his driver. with quarter
lying on the bar for the drinks of each. 1t took
the landlord about two minutes to hustle the
horse and man out of the bar-room and down
the ste ps. Last night the landlord was in con-
suit alton with an alderman, with view of hav-
ing the parties to this practical joke arrested,
but up to this morning nothing had been done
in the matter, and the intrusion of the horse
into the bar-room may be overlooked, as he
failed to get any beer.
