A PLEA FOR DECoRAT1os DAY.

The Grand Army of the Republic. in a
resolution which has already been published
in The DISPATCH, takes strong ground
against making Decoration Day an occasion
for general military parades and shows. The
position is one that is eminently appropriate
for the organization having especial charge
of the commemoration. 1t warrants some
sober reflections on the character of Memorial
Day, and the observances that are in har-
mony with its purpose.
Decoration Day was established % years
ago by the order of John A. Logan, as
National Commander of the Grand Army of
the Republic, solely as a commemoration of
the services and death of the soldiers who
died in the struggle for the Union which
had ended three years before. 1t was
distinctly recognized as having a sacred
and solemn character. 1t need not be day
of mourning; but the recognition
and commemoration of the services
and the patriotism of the dead soldiers
of the Republic is not respected by
making it day of parades wholly separate
from, the purposes of decoration. or of
designations and sports without any thought
to its sacred nature.
For the early observance of Decoration
Day it was not thought necessary to make
it legal holiday; and it may be questioned
whether that step taken later on has not
given the opportunity for many of the
proceedings on that day wholly foreign and
incongruous with its real purpose. How
ever that may be, the Grand Army is entirely
right in urging that there is little respect to
the memory of the Union dead in making
Decoration Day an occasion for militia
parades, fire engine exhibitions or unlimited
base ball games.
There are plenty of other days in the year
when such things can be INDUCED in. If
Decoration Day is observed, it should be
kept sacred to its original purpose of honor
ing and commemorating the dead of the
Union cause.

APPRECIATED OUTSIDE.

Nobody expects that when the big life in
surance companies of the East make up their
minds to put up great buildings in Pitts
burg, as they have done elsewhere, they will
60 into the market place and trumpet their
purpose abroad. That is not helpful to real
estate negotiations. But it appears there is
basis for the reports that some of the great
concerns are preparing to invest here. Ger
tainly whichever first seizes the opportunity
will make a ten-strike. Pittsburg, with the
region round about, pays large aggregate
for life insurance, and these large buildings
not only put the assets of the companies con-
spicuously in evidence, but otherwise help
the companies in the localities in which they
thus invest.
The only consideration with the life in
surance, as well as other concerns, which
are contemplating the advantages of Pitts
burg as great business center. should be
to get the benefit of coming early. With
Clearing House returns showing $50, 600, 900
more business done in the four months of go
than in the corresponding four months of
'S9, it is no wonder the growth of this city
is being Investigated and appreciated on the
outside.

WORKING FOR PARKS

1t is interesting to read in a Philadelphia
paper: ''The City Parks Association is max
ing a commendable effort to obtain addi-
tional breathing places for the city's weary
toilers." The beneficial nature of an organ
ization which labors for the location of parks
where they will be useful to the working
people, is very marked. If Pittsburg had
such an organization it is quite probable
that she would have parks of some sort long
before the present time. Even now there is
ample room for the work of such an associa-
ton. Without at all detracting from the
value of Schenley Park it must be said that
it is remote from the great centers of
the working population in Lawrenceville
and on the Southside. Smaller parks, such
as could be located in those immediate
vicinities at comparatively small expense,
constitute an object worthy of effort. 1t
would be an evidence of decided progress if
there was an organized movement to secure
this benefit.

WORKING ONLY ONE WAY.

The claim is made by the railroad of
fcials, in answer to the suggestion that coal
freights to Chicago should be reduced,
that the combination known as , the
Central Traffic Association does not main
tain rates at an arbitrary basis. The
claim is true, in one way, as the expert
ence of the past year, when the Hook
ing Valley road carried coal to the lakes at
a cut of 25 cents below agreed rates, has
proved. But when it comes to the question
of Pittsburg rates the agreement has gen.
orally turned out to be very binding.
Another point is pertinent in this connec-
tion. 1t has been urged by leading expo
nents of the railway theories that the proper
basis of railway rates is the value of service
instead of the cost, or, in other words, what
the freight will bear. But the facts pro-
duced by The DIsPATCH's correspondence
from Chicago show that coal will not bear
the present rates to Chicago, and that the
prevailing adjustment of rates is gradually
transferring the traffic to the Hooking Val
ley. According to railway principles, then
if they are intended to work more than one
way-the coal rates should be reduced to a
level which would stimulate shipments.
But the experience of the policy of the
railway associations with regard to Pitts
burg coal freights shows that the theories of
the railway school only work in the direc-
tion of making Pittsburg carry the heavy
end of the freight charges

ENDURANCE.

How much the heart may bear, and yet not break! !!
How much the flesh may suffer and not die!
question much if any pain or ache
or soul or body brings our end more nigh.
Death chooses his own time; till that is worn
All evils may be borne.
We shrink and shudder at the surgeons knife,
Each nerve recoiling from the cruel steel.
Whose edge seems searching for the quivering
life;
Yet to our sense the bitter pangs reveal
That still, although the tremb bling flesh be torn,
This, also, can be borne.
We see sorrow rising in our way,
And try to flee from the approaching i'll,
We seek some small escape-we weep and pray,
But when the blow falls then our hearts are
still
Not that the pain is Of Its sharpness shorn,
But think 1t can be borne.
We wind our life about another life,
We hold it closer. dearer than our own;
Anon it faints and falls in deadly strife,
Leaving us stunned, and stricken. and alone;
But ah! we do not die with those we mourn;
This, aIso can be borne.
Behold we live through all things, famine, thirst
Bereavement pain; all grief and misery,
All woe and sorrow life inhicts its worst
On soul and body. but we cannot die.
Though we be sick, and tired and faint and
worn:
Loi all things can be borne.

TIE CENsUs INQUIRIES.

The propriety of some of the questions
which are to be asked by the census emu
merators this year, occasioning some heated
talk in this as we'll as in other cities. One or
two leading newspapers have taken the
position that even Congress has no right to
authorize personal inquisitions into the
chronic diseases, mental deficiencies or mort
gage Indebtedness of individuals. On this
ground the advice has been given by these
Journals that the public shall refuse to
answer the questions and shall contest in
the courts the constitutionality of the
penalty prescribed by the law, for refusals
10 answer.
This looks like extreme ground and one
which seems rather risky for the ordi-
nary individual to take. Nevertheless, as
will be seen by our local columns, some of
our lawyers are very positive in taking
the same position. The reason for
the inquiry into mortgage Indebtedness is
well known, the purpose being to obtain
accurate statistics or the amount of mort
cages in the country. But it Is to be
doubted whether the disinclination of peo-
pie to place at the disposition of the average
census enumerators and clerks a full state
ment of their debts will make the results OF
such a census any more reliable than one
which could be made from the county
records. The same obligation applies with
greater force to the inquiry concerning
chronic disease. This is supposed to be
inserted with the intention of obtaining
sanitary information; though what good
purpose can be subserved BY it is question
that will puzzle the laymen to answer. The
value of such an Inquiry is likely to be
wholly taken away, by the probability that
all persons who have chronic diseases and
do not care to confde in the census-taker
with regard to them, will simply deny their
existence.
In this case the difficulty lies with the
adoption Of the wrong method for going to
work. Physicians could have been relied
upon to give the totals, if the Government
wished it, OF chronic diseases in their locali-
ties, without violating the personal conf
dence in them, which the patients feel. But
the census-taker is not calculated to inspire
that confidence in the people they call upon,
which will evoke full disclosures in the
matter of private debts and diseases.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-05-25

would 90 farther and avow belief in the fit
the quantity OF protection which the Nc
Kinley bill affords that must then be their
target, together with the lines of articles to
which il applies.
Accepting the last view, the public will
feel well disposed to the reasonable PROPOSE
tion that the Republican party, which has
been steadily the champion of the protec-
tion policy, is best intrusted with the duty
of formulating legislation upon it. 1t has
staked its future upon the success of its leg
islation. Mckinley and his colleagues of
the House, who have In their places on the
WAYS and Means Committee heard all in
terests and every side, may be supposed to
know how to frame as serviceable bill as
Democratic experts in theory and fine writ
ing outside of the House.
A particular grievance urged by the
tariff-for-revenue men is that the House bill
proposes to cut down the Treasury surplus
by raising duties. Yet this seems a good
deal more practicable than was the PROPOSE
ton of Mr.. Cleveland, to cut down the
effect OF mere lowering of duties would
have been stimulation of imports to the
detriment of home producers. And as the
volume of imports increased so would the
customs receipts, and so would the Treasury
surplus, which was the nightmare of the
last Democratic administration. The in
crease of duties will lessen the volume of i'm
ports and lessen the Treasury receipts. So
much for the effect on the Treasury. AS for
the effect on the business of the country,
which is by far the most important consid-
Grafton, the Republicans can safely, and the
Democrats might discreetly, wait till
time shall tell. The results of protection
so far have been couspicuously good. 1t is
not impossible that in respect 70 some par
ticular item the Mckinley bill is imperfect,
but, if that be so, the actual test will soon
show ii. Meanwhile the probabilities are
altogether that the bill as a whole will re-
suit beneficially, and that the tariff-for-
people, who are so loud and
in their characterizations of the
measure, are but laying up dire prophecies
which in the good time coming may return
to mortify and embarrass them.
The point which they make, that high
duties enrich the American producers at the
expense of consumers, is met by the other
point that when any branch of business be-
comes very profitable competition will |
ensue and prices 60 down. Also, as to en-
riching pioneers in American industry who |
start great works, give abundant employ |
ment, and spend their profits In turn in the |
American market. it is on the whole some
what better than enriching foreign manu-
who have no interests in common |
with this country or its people, beyond
finding a market here for their goods and
carrying away the proceeds.
