No disorders, excepting the most dead
ly forms of lung disease, involve such a
tremendous destruction of organic tissue
as those which fasten upon the kid
neys. Such maladies, when they become
chronic-and none are 30 liable to assume
that phase-completly wreck the system.
To prevent this disease, recourse should
be had, upon the first manifestation of
trouble, to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which experience has proved to be highly
effective as a means of imparting tone and
regularity to the organs oil urination. as
well as to the liver, stomach and bowels.
Another beneficial result OF this medicine,
naturally consequent upon its dluretic &C
ton. is the elimination from the blood of
impurities which beget rheumatism, neu-
ralgia, govt, dropsy, and other maladies,
By increasing the activity of the kidneys,
it augments the depurative efficiency OF
these organs, which are most important
outlets for the escape OF such impurities,

MORE CAPITAL FOR GLASS.

There is no end yet to the development of
the plate glass manufacture in this country.
On top of the great works in this trade now
in course of erection at Ellwood and at
Charleroi, comes a still more stupendous
project with location at Irwin, Pa. We
are not surprised that the peculiar adj e.
vantages OF Western Pennsylvania, as to
fuel, transportation facilities and other mat
ters, should have attracted new capitalists
for the enlargement of the plate glass in
dustry in this country. In this case
the amount of capital involved, one hum
dred million dollars, seems greater than the
establishment of even a larger concern than
any now in existence, demands. Hence
arises the suspicion that syndicate plan
ming the consolidation OF all the plate glass
works is at work. This is an undesirable
possibility. The industry will grow faster
and better if competition between the
domestic manufacturers is not squelched by
means of consolidation. We prefer to be-
lieve that the new concern at Irwin is to be
anew and independent factor in the move
ment which will place American plate glass
ahead OF all foreign competition.

A DYING HYBRID.

The hybrid ministry of Lord Salisbury
cannot recover the prestige they have lost
in the last two years. The general election
which must be held next year will give the
crippled Tories and Liberal nionists the
vacation they need so grievously. The
glorious uncertainty of politics does not
hold out much hope to Mr.. Gladstone's op-
ponents. If Lord Beaconsfeld were alive
and in Lord Salisbury's place, it might not
be safe to conclude that the Ministry were
doomed because of the practical failure
of their domestic policy. Beaconsfeld
was a far more alert and elastic states
man than his successor in the party
leadership. When defeat stared him in the
face at home none knew so we'll the virtue
of dazzling Britons' eyes with foreign
policy all spangles and pyrotechnics He
could coin phrase that would confuse his
Toes and delight his friends, though neither
could say precisely what it signifed
"Peace with Honor" was his password
when he came back from the Berlin Confer
enee, and it passed into currency as if it
stood for some substantial benefits to En-
gland. But the master wizard is no more
and nothing can save the rotten tree to
which the Grand Old Man is now laying
the last strokes of his ak.

PARKS As FAIRGROUNDS,

The parks of this city, may their num-
Der increase, are its lungs as the saying
goes, and just now more happily still they
are Fairgrounds for, the little children of
our schools. Eighteen hundred youngsters
romped among the sleeping dogs of war and
the pacific lawns and flower beds
of Arsenal Park yesterday. To-day
the school children of Allegheny
will astonish the swans and make the

gheny parks. The jubilee in Allegheny is
a sight that Queen Victoria, who is a con-
noisseur in jubilees, might well travel all
the way from Buckingham Palace to see.

ON KEMMLER's KILLING.

HELIGOLAND's VALUE.

A good deal of unadulterated nonsense is
being talked about Heligoland by the enc
miesof the Ministry in England. Now it
is claimed that England is to demand of
Germany that she refrain from fortifying
Heligoland. The little island in the North
Sea is not worth much anyhow, but to Ger
many its only value can be as a military
outpost. England did not fortify it while
she had it for several reasons; the island is
not easily susceptible of fortifcation, it does
not command any ocean highway of import
ance, and it has no harbor worthy of
the name. Germany as the suzerain
OF the nearest coast may be able to make
use of HelIgoland as part of the defenses
of the mouth of the Elbe. Heligoland un-
fortified is worth about as much to Germany
as a midsummer sandbank in the Ohio is to
Pittsburg. England will let Germany do as
she pleases with the barren square mile she
got in exchange for property belonging to
certain benighted aborigines in Africa.

THE DEMOCRATS TURN NOW.

The political atmosphere was cooled con-
siderably in Republican circles yesterday
BY the currents of explanation, criticism,
censure, consolation and prophecy which
set in upon the work of the convention.
Locally the feeling was evidently one of
slight fatigue, with disposition to rest ul-
ness, coupled with curiosity as to the action
of the Democrats. Will Pattison be nom-
mated, and, if SO, on what sort of a plat
form? is the uppermost matter of in
terest in Pennsylvania politics just now.
Nothing could have more signally helped
Pattison's prospects among the Democrats
than the nomination of Delamater by the
Republicans. 1t is realized that ne is pecu-
liarly the fttest candidate the Democrats
can put forward. But Mr.. Wallace has not
yet shared this very general perception to the
extent of gracefully Withdrawing in favor of
the Ex-Governor. Unless extraordinarily
sbtuse he may do SO yet

CHICAGO'S TRIALS,

The Worlds Fair is occupying Chicago's
attention fully, and the country ought to
keep an eye on the proceedings there. 1t is
not surprising that all sorts of underhand
attempts to make money out of the Fair
should delay the choosing of site. Chica-
go is passing through the same aggravating
period that any great city might expect.
We sympathize with Chicago. At the same
time it is plainly the duty of everybody to
protest against the idea, which has not few
silly advocates in Chicago, that two hundred
ana fifty acres is large enough to hold the
Exposition. The Centennial Exposition in
Philadelphia had not a foot too much room
with thousand acres. Every international
exposition has had that or more. But some
small-minded persons in Chicago think two
hundred and fifty acres is enough.
AS to kindred proposition to separate
the agricultural and mining exhibits and
the rest OF the Exposition by six miles of
space, it is preposterous. Mr.. M. II. De
Young, one OF California's Commissioners,
says very properly of this: "The agr1cul
tural and mining sections of the country
Will not SLaQQ IL. we Will not Oe maOe the
tail end of the Exposition nor be placed in
distant lot by ourselves. The agricultural
interests of this country we consider the
most important We have, and the mines of
the United States, especially the Pacific
coast, excel anything in the world for their
machinery. This proposition to side-track
these two great interests tor the benefit of
any jobbers in local land schemes in Chicago
will not be tolerated, am sure, by the in
tellIgent men composing the National Com
m ission. There should be no mistake about
this. This is to be worlds exposition, not
a Chicago fair, and as such must be COM
bined as one grand, composite, solid ex-
position, surrounded by one inclosure, where
one ticket gives the visitor the right to 60
anywhere after passing the gate, without
further toll or having to pay for additional
to carry him to the other part
of IT -

As TO BALLOT REFORM.

When the Australian ballot system was
first commended to attention In this country
some OF those who knew nothing about it
- were inclined to treat it as a silly 'fad, I"
but latterly it has been compelling more re-
spectful attention. When such a conven-
tion as that which assembled at Harrisburg
on Wednesday, which was more given to
practical than to sentimental politics,
thought well to admit that some sort of bal
lot reform is necessary, we may be prepared
to believe that the old system is indeed OBJ.
noxious. There is another evidence of at
tention to the subject in "Pennsylvsnia
Ballot Reform Association" which is now
forming in the State. Such men as Judge
Agnew, of Beaver; Chauncey Black, Lewis
Emery, Jr., ex-senator Mitchell, Henry C.
Lea, Francis Reeves, OF Philadelphia, and
others of their type and standing are at the
head of it.
Anything that will facilitate free and
honest expression of the people at the polls
merits consideration. Anything that will
abate the impoverishing expense which is
now laid upon candidates Will be good.
things go, but little chance to offer himself
for office when faced by the heavy expense
of setting up delegate conventions in the
first instance. and paying afterward for
printing and for men to peddle his tickets
at the polls. Not only is the poor man
barred from competition that costs SO
smartly. but good many men in moderate
circumstances have found the expenses of
politics quickly swallowing not only the
emoluments of office, but also their original
capital. The last state financially of these
has come to be worse than their first. 1t is
no part of the public intention that this
should happen. The Australian ballot
would put an end to it.
THE DISPATCH prints elsewhere the
text of the bill proposed by the association
for enactment next winter. 1t is, of course,
subject to amendments, but it contains many
points that will commend themselves to the
reflective reader. The provisions for all
candidates having their names printed on a
common ticket at the public expense, and
for permitting candidacy upon this mex
pensive condition to any aspirant for Office
who is backed by certain number of citi-
zens, seem to be very liberal and simple.
The clauses bearing upon secrecy and pre-
venting interference or intimidation are
also worthy of notice. Such a law, if en-
forced through the South, might give better
results than Mr.. Reeds Federal election |
bill, without increasing the objections which |
have been leveled at that measure.
