AN UNPLEASANT DUTY.

The Judges who have been laboring with
the license question, are reported in an In
terview to be very willing that an excise
commission shall relieve them of that oner-
Gus duty. OF course they are. Every one
knows that the task of hearing applications
for license is one which the Judges are not
ambitious to undertake and of which they
would gladly be relieved. But if it is for
the public advantage that this work shall
bedone by the judges, their personal disincli-
nation cannot be accepted as sufficient
ground for altering the law. Experience
has demonstrated that more thorough I'M
partiality and independence can be obtained
from the bench than is possible for an excise
commission which would be constituted by
political influences that are posted about
the saloons. The strong point OF the Brooks
law is in putting the licensing power in the
hands of the Judges. Take that away and
the whole measure is emasculated.

visible powers, than another rises to take
their place. The last prophet of meteorolog-
ical, riparian and seismic convulsions has q
better claim to public attention than any OF
his predecessors being aboriginal in descent,
and so thoroughly instructed in prophetic
lore as to have attained the official position
of medicine man in the tribe of Shoshone
Indians.
The new prophet has another claim to
public confidence in mis- name. The title of
MEAT Axe" by which he is known, is
highly descriptive of the instrument of cur
rent prophecy and has a much more cogent
significance than such common surnames as
Virgins or Hicks. When an aboriginal
medicine man with that impressive cogno-
which will drown all the white men who
have stolen the country of the Indians, but
will spare the Indians and preserve the
game for them, it is seen that the art of
prophecy is exerted to some purpose. The
big medicine man is prophesying smooth
things for the Shoshones. II he had init
mated that they were to be washed in the
coming flood it would have made the proph-
ct very unpopular. But as the washing
and the drowning are to be confined to the
whites, the Indians who are to enter into
possession of their old territory, with about
million acres for each brave, will be
prompt to recognize the advantages of the
programme and to hail the prophet with ap-
proval.
Possibly, also, the prophecy can be &C.
cepted with q view to the best interests of
the white race. With the experience of the
last twenty years to 60 by, it might be the
best way to have new set of whites buy the
country anew from the Indians, for few |
kegs of whisky, and to reorganizs the coun-
try on plan which will not make it the |
of politicians, trusts and railway l
kings.

THE PAN-AMERICAN RECORD.

The end of the Pan-American Congress
was reported yesterday. That body ad-
journed sine die and was dismissed with
words of farewell in speeches by Secretary
Blaine and President Harrison. The Con-
gress has been in session somewhat over six
months and its close leaves room for the
criticism that its record contains more of
sightseeing and banqueting than OF actual
results in the way of international negotia-
tions and agreements.
No official statement of the definite re-
suits achieved by the congress has yet been
made. The speech of Secretary Blaine is
calculated to create the impression that the
list of great objects fully attained is wholly
comprised in the agreement for interna-
tional arbitration for the Western Hem
isphere. As The DISPATCH has hereto
fore said, that is by itself enough to make
the meeting an epoch in history. It is a
great step in civilization; but it is hardly
possible to avoid the reflection that if it
were to be accomplished at all it might have
been accomplished in less than six months.
That reflection brings out another point,
ehoh u y " pTSsSlt tlue butI6 IL llILle IN
dication that the great commercial purpose
of the gathering, the increase of trade rela-
tions between the United States and the
South American nations has been advanced
in any appreciable degree by the congress.
In inquiring why progress has not been
made on that point the fact is likely to come
out that the fault is less with the congress
than with the United States. Secretary
Blaine has brought out the idea of ofreciprocity
with South American countries, but the
idea is altogether too daring for the public
mind. The result is that the object of South
American trade, which filled all minds last
fall, has so far faded away that within the
past few weeks we have barely escaped Civ
ing our South American friends a CONNER
cial slap in the face, by proposition to i'm
pose duty on South American products |
at present untaxed, in a bill to reduce
revenue.
The gaining of international arbitration |
is great and glorious step; but it is worth |
while to remember that if we are to extend |
our South American trade we must not be- |
gin by building our tariff legislation on the
model.

PITTsBURG, SUNDAY, APR. %, 1880.
Ia The BUSINESS OFFICE of THE DIS
PATCH has been removed 10 Corner Of
Smithfeld and Diamond Streets.
THE PROSPECT OF SETTLEMENT.

The situation with regard to the threat
ened railroad strike at the close of the week,
while not fulfilling all the pleasant reports
that the question was practically settled,
still leaves ground for the expectation that a
fair and honorable settlement will be reached
during the coming week.
The officials OF the Pennsylvania lines,
which will exercise a controlling in
fuence on the other railroads, have had
due conferences with their men, and
have made proposition in reply to the de-
mands previously published. As will be
seen elsewhere, the proposition is acceptable
as 10 wages; but it is not satisfactory to the
men, in requiring twelve hours of work in
stead of ten, which they claim. There is a
good deal of force il the objection to twelve
hours work at such a task, and with the
point properly urged there is reason to look
for modification of the terms.
With the two parties so near together, it
is not likely that either side will permit the
remaining difference to generate a strike
that would blockade business and inflict
loss on all parties. The negotiations on the
matter have been conducted with admirable
good temper and mutual forbearance. We
have every confidence that the maintenance
of that commendable spirit will secure
satisfactory adjustment of the entire ques-
tion.
When this is fully accomplished, Pitts
burg can proudly call the attention OF the
rest of the world to the way in which she
settles her wages disputes.

CEICAGn,s MODEL MAYOR

Chlcago is enjoying remarkable specta-
Gle. She has a Mayor who was elected
upon platform in which the suppression
OF gambling was a cardinal plank. Mr..
Cregler has been Mayor for rather more
than year and gambling has not been sup
pressed. From time to time Mr.. Cregier
has delivered himself in this wise: 81 saw
now, and I say it for all time, gambling
will not be allowed" But gambling has
been allowed to flourish continuously.
When the grand jury and the City Council
called the Mayors attention to the fragrant
publicity of gambling, few of the smallest
gambling houses were raided. The great
dens of the tiger were not disturbed. Then
one day Mayor Cregier remarked with great
solemnity: 81 have been giving orders for
some time, right along. But for some rea-
son they have not been obeyed. Now it is
different: I say, and have said, the gam
blers must CO."
The difference now Is that the gambler
q not gone. The Mayor keeps right
aging that he has given orders for
rmination of the gamblers, and the
ltinues to devour the unwary in a
iens. 1t would be marvelously
Chicagoans if it were not SO
md disgraceful. The Mayor has
the Pittsburg executive Office
% order the police to do their duty,
punish them ii they fail. So The
sion is forced upon Chicago's un-
citizens that she has a Mayor who
roerately breaks his word and for rea-
sons Oest known to himself allows public
gambling houses to pursue their iniquitous
trade undisturbed. The time will come. no
doubt, when Chicago will say to her Mayor:
go, and the order viii be obeyed. In
the meanwhile the Chicago newspapers will
continue to obtain from the Mayor an
nouncements of the gamblers expulsion in
the afternoon, and in the eveningssend their
reporters to the wide open gambling hells.
The greatest cities in the Union are run
ming each other hard in the race of iniquity.

OUR ROAD EXPEDITION,
Paper Suggests the Advisab bility of Pro.
vidinR a Diving Bell.

Aapcr suggests Tue AoVisaDinty OF kfos
viding a Diving Bell.
From the Somerset Standard
THE PIrTsBURG DISPATCH has started out
an expedition of the pixies Peak or bust"
sort. and II it doesn't return "busted by
thunder" there will be sufficient grounds for
general surprise. The expedition was fully
equipped and sent out for the purpose of as
certainlng the condition of the roads in the
counties in the Western part of the State.
Wen wager "blind robin" against the explor-
ing party's entire outfit that any Of the farmers
OF this county can tell more about bad roads in
hve minutes than the spokesman of that expe-
ditlon will know at the roundup. What our
farmers don't know about roads isn't worth
knowing. They know them from top to bottom
where there is any bottom. They've been
sounding their depth all winter, and the sound
ings have been anywhere from ''knee-deep" to
mark twain" They've been hauling mud into
town all winter-ol their wheels. 1t will be
dried by a July sun. stirred up and waited by
an August breeze, and carried into Pittsburg in
the eyes Of our summer boarders. That's the
way we get rid of it.
There are number Of our country friends
whose smiling countenances we have not been
permitted to gaze upon lately, and we fear they
have started to town with a load of something
aud unintentionally taken the subterranean
route. Our farmers cannot bear the awful
roads, and the awful roads cannot bear them.
When The DISPATCH party strikes this county
they should add to their paraphernalia diving
bell, as there are divers places they will need
it. The party is said to be making explora.
tions with a view to bettering the condition of
the roads. This view is evidently of the long
ranged variety, as their conveyance is now
plowing up Green county clay and turning the
roads bottom up. while the reporters attached
to the expedition are appropriating the rails
from the fences for prys. They are prying into
the road question pretty considerably" and it
is to be hoped that much good-and THE DIS
PATCH outfit-may come out of 1t.

sTATEsMEN's WASH DAY.

Last week was memorable and picturesque
in the line OF ''wash day" exhibits from
distinguished public sources. Mr.. Dana's
talk about Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Cleve-
lands characterizations of Mr.. Dana were
quite enough to set the world wondering
to what plane discussion of national poll
tics and craftsmanship is doomed presently
to descend. But that was by no means the
whole display. Cotemporaneously Editor
GodkIn, of the New York Evening Post.
was facing New York police justice for
libeling Tammany leaders-of whom he
certainly drew the most startling pictures;
while he was likewise reviving against
Senator Quay the World charges, with sew
eral new counts and enlargement of the old
ones. Mr.. Hilton also found the week un-
commonly disagreeable by reason of news
aper attacks upon his dealings with A. 7.
Stewart, and on the whole the quantity of
dirty linen which was aired in print must
have satisfied the most morbid inclination for
that sort of thing.
In the case of Mr.. Dana and President
Cleveland, while there is no doubt that thev
enjoy the ozone and bright sunlight of pub
licity, it is very questionable if upon seri-
GUS second thought, they will feel any the
more satisfied with themselves-not to speak
of their feeling to each other-for having
dropped into billingsgate in public, merely
to indulge personal resentments. Godkin, the
ECenitg Post man, doubtless enjoys his tilt
with Tammany; but it would be interesting
to know what he expects to accomplish in
seconding the Worlds attack on Quay,
while attempting to discredit that papers
first exploitation of it. Meanwhile the
Pennsylvania Senator is silent. Perhaps
he, too, is but biding his time, and that.
when seasonable in his estimation, he also
NAV have some contribution for the clothes
line.
The question of motives and purposes in
all of these notable discussions and reviews
of the relations of eminent public men to
one another and to their constituents NAV
have a good deal to do in measuring their
effect. Very much of what has been charged
in every one of the instances named has
been alleged in some form or other before.
Thus, while it may continue to be in
teresting, it is not easy to expect the public
to affect the sensation of novelty at meeting
it again. The curious thing is that these
revelations" after being allowed to lie for
years in allegiance, should now suddenly
take form all at once together, and assume
epidemic dimensions.

IN MEMORY OF S. s. cox.
Congressmen Cummings, Holman and Others
Pay Loving Tribute TO His Memory.

Pay Loving Tribute TO His Memory.
WASHINGTON, April 19.-At o'clock public
business was suspended and the House pro
ceeded to pay tribute to the memory of Samuel
S. Cox. ::of New York.
Mr.. Cummings. of New York, delivered the
first address. He dwelt' upon Mr.. Cox's en-
dearing qualities and high intellect, which
made friends everywhere and enemies nowhere.
His active and busy mind and his ever ready
and eloquent tongue were at rest. The un-
obtrusive friend of the masses had passed
away. Only his memory remained and that
memory perfumed every home in the land
Reviewing the life of Mr.. Cox he traced the
statesman's progress from his boyhood up to
The time when his name had become house
hold word, and he paid an eloquent tribute of
the love and devotion which had for many
years bound together Mr.. Cox and his wife,
who had ever been his inseparable companion.
He then reviewed the deceased statesman's
Congressional career.
Mr. Holman, of Indiana, paid bis tribute of
sorrow and honor upon the grave of an old col
league and an old friend, whose work was ever
on the side of humanity, and whose greeting
was a golden CLEAN of sunshine.
MIR Mills, of Texas, in voice moved with
emotion. recalled the recent deaths of Messrs
Kelley and Randall. As he stood over the
that three great men had fallen. Cox had come
to the House first, and had been first to cross
the river; Kelley had come next and had fol-
lowed next; Randall had come third and had
gone third; and it might be said of them all,
'Tbey were lovely and pleasant in their lives,
and in death they were not divided"
Mr.. Butterwortb, of Ohio, lamented the re-
cent demise of three great men-Cox, Kelley
and Randall-each great in different way.
Mr.. Cox was well-equPped. all-round fighter,
but he differed from Mr.. Randall in that he
was a teacher, not an aggressive leader of men.
Each had served his nation nObly, and de-
served well of his country. In paying his last
his duty and pleasure to say of him that the
world was better that he had lived, and that
those with whom be had come in contact were
made better by that association.
After other addresses the House adjourned.

the space for the display Of their goods is an
action that the merchants have a perfect
right to take, end the proposition is one that
can be favorably considered, for localities
where there is sufficient space left for pedes-
trians. On the other hand, merchants who
adopt the plan reported yesterday of taking in
their goods and then leaving their cellar
ways open, in revenge, are likely to get
themselves into trouble. Under the recent
decision of the Supreme Court, the legality
of the cellar-ways, when they encroach on
the sidewalks, is questionable. If they are
left open wantonly and unnecessarily, the
duty of the authorities to prosecute such an
ofense is very clear. Business men should
remember that they have no more right than
anyone else to prevent the highways from
their legal uses.
