THE NEW LICENSES

As was announced late night before last
and published in yesterdays DISPATCH
the license agony, so far as Pittsburg is con-
cerned, is ended by the granting of 3O7
licenses. So far as individual observation
can follow the work of the court it has been
very judiciously done. The number of
licenses granted is sufficiently enlarged to
take away the stimulus to the illicit traffic.
The selection of recipients of license shows
care and judgment. In some cases, as the
Judges point out, remonstrances have lost
their effect by delay until after the hearing,
for which, Of course, the remonstrants have
no one to blame but themselves.
1t is said that the new departure in the
grant of licenses will suppress the speak
easies. But the only foundation for that
hope is on the condition that the law is en-
forced. Ii the officers of the law continue
to ignore facts of which they claim knowl-
edge, that people are selling illegally, those
who thus escape the five hundred dollar
license will continue to do so. The number
of licenses having been increased some effort
should be made to have it understood that
all officers of the law, who have knowledge
of illegal acts, must take steps to uphold the
law. If that is done, we may hope that the
illicit iquor-selling nuisance will be sup
pressed.
If the peculiar theories of the past year,
with regard to police non-interference are
kept up, there is no reason to believe that
the increase in the number of licensed
places will have any material effect in
lessening the secret drinking holes

THE SEASONS IMPROVEMENTS.

The plans of the Department OF Public
Works, for improvements during the season
just opening, are rather imposing in theil
total. The expenditure of 81, ,246, 900 in
public works will certainly make business
active among the contractors, and should
effect a material change in the appearance
Of the city when all the work is completed.
The amount looks large, but when the list
of contracts is examined it will be seen that
it is distributed widely, and in compare
lively small amounts to indi vidual i'm
provements. The repairing total of $685.
900 contains some of the largest items. The
new street improvements, footing up 1856, :
O00, and the sewers costing S151, 900, are
generally on minor streets, which are to be
rescued bv this work from the reign of mud
and bad drainage that has produced SO much
complaint during the past season.
A million and quarter spent in securing
good pavements and sewers is one of the
best investments that Pittsburg can make

and beautiful poetry of motion ever wit
messed" With these hierarchical authori-
ties Mr.. Barnum shows the Bridgeport text
expounder how very cross and provincial
his standards ior measuring great moral ag-
gregations of worldwide fame must be.
1t is possible that the Bridgeport man
may remain uncrushed by this logic. He
NAV assert that the Established Church of
England can find relief in turning
from the spectacle of modern sristo-
cratic vice to the ballet of Nero;
but that is no reason why that field
show of Terpsichorean art is fit food for the
unsullied minds of his Bridgeport flock. He
may even intimate that the recommenda-
tions of clergy which is recruited by the
appointees of Marlborough, Manchester and
Lonsdale is rather detrimental than other
wise to the strict reputation of the Barnum
combination for utter purity of artistic pur-
pose. And SO far as the abstract logic of the
argument is concerned the preacher would
be nearly right.
But the strict correctness of the syllogism
is not bothering Barnum. If his clerical op-
ponent should produce an argument of this
sort he would cheerfully bring out some
more of the great names whose owners were
delighted by his exhibition. Mr.. Barnum is
very we'll acquainted with the methods by
which to catch the public, including the
flock of the Bridgeport preacher.

LEGISLATION FOR PARTY.

The report of the House committee to
which the McComas bill to prevent gerry
manders was referred is a peculiar indica-
tion of the exigencies to which party policy
may lead. The report adopts Mr.. McComas'
idea of having only decennial apportion-
ments, which, if it were not inspired by
pure partisanship, would have some virtue
in 1t. But for fear that may not in
trench the majority strongly enough in the
House, the committee adds the provision
that the apportionment for the Fitty-second
Congress shall be exactly the same as that
for the Fifty-frst
Everyone knows-that the purpose of this
measure is to prevent Democratic Legisla-
lures of States which have a majority of
Republican Congressman from interfering
with the Republican advantage. But it is
remarkable towhat lengths this idea leads
the Republican members. The unique
Southern shoe-string districts have been the
subject of universal denunciation by Re-
publicans. They have been declared over
and over again to be crimes against honest
popular representation. But since the Re
publlcans can expect little from the South
at BEST they now go to the length not only
of ignoring these Southern gerrymanders,
but of actually proposing to enact nation
al law that must stand. If Southern
Legislature should desire to rectify the in
justice of South Carolina or Mississippi
shoe-string districts, it would be forbidden
by this measure to touch them!
This is legislation to keep party in
power with vengeance. All such legisla-
tion is necessarily vicious as certainly as
that a stream cannot be purer than its
source. But this measure is peculiarly so,
because it does not even make prefense of
trying to secure fair apportionment. For
the sake of retaining the Republican ad-
vantage in important States it proposes not
only to sanction but to perpetuate the very
gerrymanders which that party has long
held up as examples of injustice and usurpa-
ton.
1t would be very desirable to frame
measure to secure impartial apportionments.
But it is evident that it cannot be done until
legislators learn that the right of the people
to fair representation is superior to any
claims of party advantage.
