The condition OF Hon. William L. Scott, of

tell those interested that he is slowly mending,
the impression generally prevails that he is far
worse than has yet been stated. DR.. Pepper,

Erie from Philadelphia by special train

IMAGINATION ABOUT P1TrsBURG.

The esteemed New York Telegram has
discovered some remarkable things and
ascribes them to Pittsburg. 1t notes that
not long ago il was compelled to keelhaul
Pjttsburg's restaurants for charging an
extra nickel for clean napkin" and then
proceeds to relate that "the manager of q
Pittsburg theater has issued an trade that
enter the dramatic, foundry over which he
presides." Upon this basis the Telegram
proceeds to read the dramatic profession q
lecture on the rights of the bootblacks and
newsboys TO enjoy the delights OF the
theater from the gallery, whether they have
shoes and stockings or not.
This new addition to the bill OF rights is
an interesting one. But. so far as it applies
to Pittsburg, its cogency is destroyed by the
fact that there is nothing in it. We believe
there was an item of news few weeks ago
that an eating house in another city made
an extra charge for a napkin; but the allie
cation can be as well made of New York as
of Pittsburg. Here one class Of purveyors
furnish napkins without extra charge;
while those Of cheaper class permit their
patrons to wipe their mouths on their
sleeves, and neither party makes any trouble
about it.
As to the great American privilege OF
going to the theater barefooted, it may be
one which the independent newsboy would
assert if it were not for one thing. The dra-

AID FnR AFELICrEn IRELAND.

The shadow of great famine is impend-
ing once more over Ireland. We publish
to-day an appeal to the American people
from representative Americans who have
united for the relief OF Ireland. The Irish
leaders have not asked for help, because
they deem themselves bound by the pledge
given when last Ireland was thus afflicted
in 1880 that they would never call upon
America for aid again. But it would be
the height of cruelty to stand upon a mere
formality. The failure OF the potato crop is
known. the absolute dependence of thou
sands upon that crop is known, and a
famine is inevitable. The awful scenes of
former famines must not be repeated. Aid,
large and generous must be given. and at
once. America will respond to the appeal
with heart and purse.

TIE LIE CIRcUMsTANTIAn.

It is not an entirely unsatisfactory indica-
tion afforded by the heated declaration Of
the Politician. the new Clarkson organ, that
John E. Russell lied, and knew that he
lied, when he said there was no surplus now
owing to Republican extravaganza"
OF course no one will trouble himself to
take exception to little outbreaks Of unpar-
liamentary language from the organ of rabid
"stalwartism," which proposes to expel
james G. Blaine from the party. Such ex-
pressions are to be expected from that brand
OF political journalism. As to the asser-
ton, in the form given by che Politician,
that there is no surplus at the present time,
the denial of 1t is te1tuslly correct But as
to the assertion which Mr.. Russell probably
made, that the appropriations of this Con-
gress are such as to destroy the excess o.
revenue above expenditure for the fiscal
year, the Politician must extend its state
ment so as to say that Senators Edmunds
and Plumb, together with others who have
investigated and spoken impartially, lied,

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PIrrsBuRe. WEDNESDAY. OCT. i, 1890.
NOT PERTINENT CONSIDERATIONS.

On the face OF it, the objection made In
Council yesterday against spending $4,000
for park entrance, while people were wad-
ing in the mud, seems to have good deal OF
force. If the money for the park entrance
was to be diverted from necessary street i'm
proYements, the argument would be cogent
one. But if the people offering that argu-
ment had taken time to consider the matter
little, they would have seen that this is
not the case.
There has been good deal of mud in the
streets of the suburbs lately, but the cases
il which it was due to any lack of expendl-
ture, so as to have bearing on this appro-
priation, are lacking. The mud has been
due because the liberal expenditure of
money on improvements has caused many
streets to be Torn up during very rainy
season. If there are any streets which have
been muddy because no work was done on
them, the fact that their grading and paw
ing would be paid for by the abutting prop
erty is a sufficient answer to the idea that
the payment for the park entrance would
make people walk in the mud.
This matter is given a singular interest
from the report that the fights over this ordi-
nance, the Duquesne Traction ordinance
and that for the regulation of the pawn
brokers, are really the manifestations of the
rival factions in the Republican party.
That the rival leaders of Republicanism
should keen a close watch on each other, is
salutary. But If it comes to the point of
bIocEinc fhe necessary imnroyements FOR
Pittsburg simply in political fights, the peo
pie who embark in that sort of politics may
ind out their mistake. When it is per-
ceived that politicians, to crafty their po-
litical enmity, or satisfy their political re-
venge, undertake to decree that Pittsburg's
new park shall be left without an entrance;
that street railway privileges shall be
granted or refused as matter of political
favor; or that Mr.. Carnegie's library dona-
tion shall be delayed for lack OF the site
which the park entrance would afford, the
people may take the earliest opportunity to
express their verdict on the importation of
factional fights into municipal business, by
their votes at the nearest election.
The people of Pittsburg have the right to
demand that measures before their councils
shall be decided strictly on their merits.
Outside political fights should be kept out
OF Councils. They promise to be warm and
lively enough in the near future; and will
regard them with a good deal of spectacular
interest when they arrive; but the public
want benefits not damages from these con-
tentions

HYMEN's CHEERFUL BULLETIN.

The perils of the married state NAV be
many, but it is evident that Pittsburgers
stand little in awe of them. We are averse
to saying that there is boom in matrimony
hereabouts, for that would imply the possi-
bility of e reaction, but the returns Of the mar
riage license Office show that Hymen is doing
a highly prosperous business in this county.
The license law has been in effect five years,
and all things considered it has done good.
1t opens the doors of marriage wide enough
to admit all who should enter, and bars not
a few who should not. The former class has
been numerous enough, for twenty-three
thousand couples have been licensed to
marry in the last five years. These figures
are cheerful for several reasons. They show
that the greatest institution In the world
more than holds its own here; they are an
index of Pittsburg's growth-since last year
over five thousand marriage licenses were
issued, an increase over 1885 of 56 per cent;
and they contain the promise that Pitts
burg's population Is in fair way to be in
creased still further.

and knew that they lied, in saying the same
thing.
But this heat in denying patent fact is
encouraging. II shows that the politicians.
even of the rabid stripe represented by the
Ciarkson organ, are beginning to perceive
that the responsibility of converting sur
plus into deficiency will be more than
they can afford to assume. It would have
been wiser for them to have perceived the
fact in time to avoid the charge Of restrict
ing appropriations instead Of by singing
hard words at their opponents. But the
fact that they perceive the responsibility at
all shows susceptibility heretofore sadly
lacking. ~
Mr.. Clarkson is making an interesting
and instructive figure In journalism as in

cessful as an example and a warning.

THE BOY WAS AVENGED,


VoU have seen these wire slings which some
ingenious fellow has contrived for the carry
ing of watermelons Well, one Of them assisted
in very interesting farce comedy the other
day.
Two men starting from their several homes
at opposite ends of the city, in the morning
followed each his chosen path all the forenoon,
every minute bringing them closer together,
and at high noon they met at the corner Of
Smithfield street. The first was from the East
End and he was very carefully attired. His
hat, his coat, his trousers and his shoes were
all that wealth or fashion could desire. He
carried a cane of the largest pattern, and he
insisted on plenty of room as he walked along
The other man came from the Southside. He
had been paid off the day before, and he came
across the river with the idea of painting the
pale blue air with one ensanguined red. He
was the most amiable fellow that ever went on
a spree, and never lost his good temper all the
way up. He bought a watermelon from a ven-
der and came on up town carrying it In his
hand, and stopping to get acquainted with
some loiterer and invite him out ''n the clear
ing'' to cut the melon and celebrate feast.
On crowded street he saw the exquisite trip
ping along and shouldering women out of his
way, and all the chilvalrY of the workman was
reused in an instant. He followed him with
Of the day creeping into them, and then the
climax came.
AS the well.dressed man frisked along,
swinging his cane regardless of passengers,
some one threw plum seed and hit him in the
ear He turned and saw newsboy-the only
person smaller than himself then within reach,
and, without hint of warning. he cuffed him
soundly on the ear. The boy roared. lodged,
and then cried out:
"What you do thatferf"
"For hitting me- saw you"
II never done thing"
"Don't you lie TO me. Take thatr' and the
gloved hand grasped an ear and a shock of hair
and wrenched them soupdly. A score of men
started to protest A score OF women voiced
their indignation. But the man with the melon
was the first to act. He said nothing Words
were cheap. But with one sweep of the water
melon, held at length by the wire sling. he de-
scribed the arc OF circle that ended ar the
very apex OF that high hat, and shattered
glory of ruby core and q torrent of ruddy juice
over every inch of the tailor-made clothes.
The boy was avenged. The man from the
East End was conquered. And the man from
the Southside was happy; for he walked away,
piece of rind trailing along in the meshes of
his wlre and the benediction of two score men
and women, with one boy, following in his
erratic wake.

THE TARIFF BILL PASSED.

Congress is at its last breath. The Senate
showed plenty of vitality all the same yes
terdav, and Messrs. Carlisle, Aldrich and
others took hearty farewell whack at the
tariff. The passage of the tariff bill took
place without the smallest sensational
feature. Exactly as had been foreshadowed
Senator Plumb, of Kansas; Senator Petit
grew, of South Dakota, and Senator Pad
dock, of Nebraska, were the only Republic
ans who voted against the bill, The final
division otherwise was strictly on party
lines and showed 80 votes for and 81 against
the bill. The passage of the tariff bill will
have good effect upon the country's trade,
and the measure of gladness will be filled to
the brim if Congress adjourns, as it probably
will, to-day.

matte season extending through the winter
months, the Pittsburg newsboy is smart
enough to obtain covering for his feet The
temperature restrains him from trying to
force the barefooted issue. Perhaps New
York leaves its newsboys and bootblacks
barefooted during the winter; but Pittsburg
has fashion of seeing them provided with
such necessary articles. The fact is that the
slender foundation on which our New York
contemporary has built its assertion of news
boys rights is story recently told of Man
ager Henderson. of Chicago, concerning an
actress who, for wager, appeared bare
footed on the stage, thus evoking rule that
the actresses should be fully dressed before
appearing on the stage-with the usual
spectacular exceptions.
