table, long division and vulgar fractions
will be useful to the citizen whether they
aid his comprehension of political economy
of not A system which undertakes to
place within the reach Of all, the necessary
instruction in the common branches, which
are practicable for children, and to fit
them for pursuing higher studies If they
wish either in colleges or by private read
ing, is very different thing from
one which proposes to frame the students
mind on such matters of the higher educa-
ton as political disputes, economic issues,
or religious tenets. One can properly be
supported by public taxation. The other is
clearly without the province of school educa-
ton for the final reason that they are beyond
the mental grasp of the children, in the pub
lie schools.
There is ground for the criticism of the
public schools that they make too ambitious
attempts in the line of the higher instruc-
ton and give too little attention to thorough
ness in the common branches. We may,
therefore, rejoice in the impossibility Of
inflicting political economy on children of
twelve to fourteen years, simply because it
is as much beyond their mental grasp as the
theory of the procession of the equinoxes.

THE TRUTH ABOUT Gas.

The alarmists who assert that Pittsburg's
gas supply is failing deserve no mercy. Ex-
Postmaster Larkin hits the mark when he
calls them criminals. The truth, however,
will prevail in spite of the most ingenious
fslsiicationS What the Truth is about
natural gas the readers of The DISPATCH
can have no difficulty in apprehending. We
have published the statements of the best
authorities over and over again.
Scientific men, practical experts in the
gas fields, capitalists whose money talks,
merchants and manufacturers who use the
gas, agree that with careful handling and
enterprise in the opening OF new fields the
gas supply of Pittsburg is assured for many
years to come, if not forever. And that,
too. with the demand for gas keeping pace
with Pittsburg's marvellous growth.

A LIBERAL POLICY.

The authoritative announcement that the
Reading Railroad will reduce its rates of
freight on fuel and other materials for man
ufactories along its line is an indication that
the new management of that road is going
to adopt a more liberal and intelligent policy
than it has done in the past. 1t is de-
parture in the direction of the policy which
The DISPATCH has urged upon the Pitts
burg railroads of encouraging the growth of
industries and so enlarging the volume of
railway traffic by low rates on the freights
which are received and shipped by such in
dustries in large amounts.
It is no more than fair. in making a COM
parison between the Reading road and those
which perform transportation for this city,
to recognize that the course of the Reading
in imposing heavy freight charges on its
shippers has been more onerous during the
last ten years than that of the Pittsburg
roads; and the need for change of policy
was more manifest. The Reading has Joined
the other anthracite roads in holding rates
on anthracite coal by restricted production
and pooling compacts to the last gasp.
This, combined with the policy of
high local rates, has made the cost of
anthracite almost prohibitory. The result is
shown in the fact that while the census re-
turn on pig iron showed an immense increase
in the production of coke and Southern pig
irons during the past ten years, the product
Of anthracite iron showed an almost
equally marked decrease. Such change of
railroad policy was absolutely necessary in
order to save the anthracite iron industry
from absolute extinction; and the course of
the Reading management in adopting it is
an example of that reformation which comes
better late than never.
But while the need for similar reductions
here may be much less glaring, owing to the
fact that since 1880 competition has exer-
cised either direct or an indirect influence
on railway charges, there is still ground for
urging its value upon our railway man.
ayers. The good effect on local business of
lower rates on coal, ore. coke and iron have
been so often enlarged upon that 1t is not
necessary TO recount them here. But the
advantage of such policy to the railroads
themselves is point that should be insisted

replied the New Yorker emphatically.
"Ifyou call Forty-second street down town"
began the Pittsburger.
"Forty-second street be blanked-we're
nearer Canal street."
"Bet you flyer we're notr' said the Pitts
burger coolly.
"Doney' said his friend.
They consulted policeman and he said:

And there is now at least one New Yorker
who takes IF his hat to Pittsburg.

OUR SHORT STORIES.
A PHYSICIANS FANTASY.

THERE is a very well known physician in
town who believes in the transmigration Of
souls. His theories, in fact, are not unlike
those of the Buddhist who believes that his
soul has climbed to its present estate through
successive dwellings in the bodies of brutes.
The doctor is convinced that during his last
incarnation he was a cat Therefore he pays
his respects to cats in every manner possible.
His house is the asylum of ''strays" He
binds up their wounds, he restores their coats,
he feeds and pets them, and he has them by
dozens. When the house becomes overrun he
will consent to let ''good and reliable" families
take some of his pets. In addition to these
unfortunates, the doctor has some aristocratic
cats-cats with a pedigree. These are marvels
of beauty and of pride, varying in color from
the one of ebony coat to the little Maltese and
the tortoise SHE'LL whose NEW is musical above
all the others.
The scarf pins of the physician are cats made
out Of moonstones or agate, with ruby or topaz
eyes. His cuff buttons are cats, and sort of
conventionalized cat presides over his stamp in
the blank leaves of his library books. 1t is, in
deco, his coat of arms, and silver and china
both bear it, But the crowning curiosity is the
enormous Persian cat which, stuffed, sits in
niche in the hall to remind the doctor of a per-
ished cat. 1t is but fair to say that this ad-
miration for cats is affectation on the part of
the physician, who is a very sincere and simple
man, but is really the result of deep convic-
tiOn. He has a theory concerning each of his
friends and the animals which he considers
the ancestors of their souls are not always
those which would be chosen, if one had an op-
portunity of choosing. But it is admitted even
by those who have been treated in the most
unfattering manner that the observations of
the doctor have point, and that the resem-
out, are destined to haunt the brain even of
the sceptic

upon. The Pennsylvania Railroad is to-day
millions of dollars better of, from the
building of the Pittsburg and Lake Erie and
Pittsburg and Western roads, which it op-
posed. Their competition, although hamp-
cred and strangled at times by pooling
agreements, has caused such an unforeseen
expansion of business, that the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroads traffic is far greater than it
would have been if Its monopoly Of the sew
entities had been maintained. Competition is
the life of trade however the apostles of
commercial privilege may preach the con-
trary.
There is still room for reduction in the
fundamental freights of Pittsburg which
will immensely expand traffic and yield the
railroads full recompense for their surren-
der of apparent earnings When the Read
ing management reaches the point of adopt
ing this policy, the Pittspurg roads should
not hesitate to improve on it.

THE SHORT CROPS.

The reports of shortage in the crops are
so general as to leave little doubt that the
coming year will be one of high prices for
food products. The latest summary of the
crop prospects indicates deficiency OF 30
per cent in potatoes, 40 per cent in fruits,
some OF which is q total failure, 20 per cent
in wheat and % per cent in corn. These
percentages are based on the large yields Of
previous years, so that there need be no
apprehension of an absolutely insufficient
food supply. But it is beyond doubt that
the next season will be one of higher prices
with much diminished surplus for exporta-
tion.
Some of the comments on the shortage of
the crops seek to discover in it prosperity
for the farmers, by adopting the policy Of
the apostles of artificial scarcity, that if the
total production of any staple is Iessened,
the advance in prices will more than make
up for the loss. This is only the case where
there is a close combination that is
able to force prices up out of all proportion
to the actual decrease in production. Ap-
piled to the farmers it would mean that be-
cause there is half crop of potatoes, for
example, the price of potatoes will be more
than twice as high as before. Carrying that
logic to its farthest conclusion If the farmers
should lose ninety-nine hundredths of their
crop they would be rolling in wealth.
OF course such ideas are shallow and un-
truthful; but even conceding them for the
sake of the argument, it is easy to show
where they utterly fail. On our full pro-
duction we export some hundreds of millions
of dollars worth of agricultural products
yearly, in exchange for which. we receive
values which represent an addition to our
national wealth. When the crops fail that
source of keeping favorable balance of
trade is cut of. Wealth is created by pro-
duction. A natural shortage of production
is a calamity, for which no one can be
blamed. An artificial restriction of pro-
duction is a wanton prevention of the in
crease of wealth.
The shortage in the crops is misfortune
alike for producers and consumers. But as
none is to blame for it, the nation will take
its results cheerfully, in the hope of better
fortune next year.

JIM AND BILL.

IN Western mountain region where few of
the worlds really civilized have yet tset foot,
there is a small backwoods settlement called
Mountain Dew. perhaps SO named because of
the quantity of the dew that is disposed of
there. One of the ''Dlaces" as the saloons are
called, is owned by Whispering Bill. Across
the street Suffering Jim has place.
"Why is it." asked stranger one day, shat
these men have such queer names?'
"Mebbe it's cause Bill whispers and Jim
shutters, stranger" suggested one of the ma
tiyes.
But they are not troubled that way I've
noticed" continued the stranger, anxious for
an explanation.
"Wall, eff ye must know" said an old timer
"1ll tell ye Wen Mounting Doc wer fust

PITTsBURG. THURSDAY. AUG. 2s. 1890.
FIsTICUFFs IN CONGRESS-.

II a less august assembly, say pugilistic
club or literary society with spesk-easy
attachments, were to behave as the House
of Representatives did yesterday the police
would abate the nuisance. Far less dis
orderly and disgraceful conduct on the part
of private citizens has been punished with
fine and imprisonment We trust that these
disorderly Congressman will be called to ac-
count by their constituents. The language
and behavior of street loafers cannot be tol-
Grated in the halls of Congress. This point
can be emphasized at the next election.
After wasting Tuesday in proftless fill
clustering the House of Representatives
yesterday fell to fsticuffs and foul language.
Messrs. Beckwith and Wilson were the
principals in the prize ring, while Messrs.
McAdoo and Cannon confined their efforts
to highly statesmanlike imitation of two
angry fsh-wives. The House appears to
have seen the humorous side alone Of these
disputes, and Speaker Reed seems to have
considered himself time-keeper or at most
umpire, to borrow a fitting title from the
pugilist's vocabulary. Perhaps the Speaker
realized that to great extent
the scene Of disorder was a consequence of
the violent policy of which he has been the
principal exponent. The country will be
apt to appreciate properly the disgusting
indecency of Mr.. Csnnon's language, the
general contempt for order and the good
name Of the House, and the Speakers in
ability or unwillingness to be firm in the
discharge of his duty. The adjournment of
Congress will be an unadulterated blessing.
1t cannot come too quickly. As it is Mr..
Wanamaker will be forced to consider the
prOpriety of excluding the Congressional
Record from the mails.
