TERMs OF THE DIsPATCH,
PITTsBURG. TUESDAY. JAN. Is, 1890
REMARKAHLF RkLIEF.

The principle of distributing the portion
of the Johnstown relief fund, sent to the
village of South Fork, produces some re.
markable results. The principle was thai
of distributing in proportion to losses sus-
tanned and the results were that of the S., 900
sent to relieve the homeless and destitute,
sundry suffering coal mining companies,
store trims and wealthy individuals go!
$4,000, while the actual poor got the remain
ing thousand. One person who may fairly
be presumed to be destitute got his destitu-
ton relieved to the munifcent extent of five
dollars.
1t may be said in extenuation for the
South Fork distributors, that the idea of
distributing relief funds in proportion to
loss is one that is very apt to suggest itself
especially when the distributors are among
the largest losers. That plan is said to have
been adopted in Pittsburg after the fire Of
1845; and it is still reported that some of the
wealthy property owners, who were wealthy
after the fire, took their liberal ratio of the
relief fund, with entire resignation.
But more striking illustration of the en-
tire falsity of that method of distribution
need not be asked for than the statement of
the South Fork distribution. The accuracy
with which those who needed relief the least
got the most money, is so beautiful that it
beggars comment.

A LOST PURPOSE.

Concerning Mr.. Springer's bill on the
election of President, abolishing the Elec-
toral College, while providing minority rep
sentation in the electoral vote of each State.
an Eastern cotempOrary says, "the Electoral
College, while nondescript institution, has
admirably served the purposes intended,
and will not be changed until some better
one is proposed than has yet been men
toned.
But this represents the Electoral Colleges
as doing exactly what they have not DONE
Nothing is palmer in the Constitution and
the original expositions of it, than that the
purpose for which the Electoral College
was established was to keep the people
from voting directly for President. The
Executive was to removed from the in
fuenee of popular elections by having the
choice made by a select body, and as that
body the Electoral College was founded.
The purpose was defeated. The election of
Electors is the election of a President, and
the only effect Of the Electoral College is to
complieate and sometimes confuse the vote
of the people.
When an electoral institution neither
serves the purpose for which it was created
nor any other discernible purpose, there is
the best reason for either abolishing or
amending it, as Mr.. Springer's bill pro-
noses
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-01-28
A PERTINENT SUGGESTION.

1t is to be hoped that the statement which
Colonel Adrews win make to the Secretary
of the Treasury, concerning the possibility
of completing the new postofice next fall
will open that officials eyes to the manner
in which the Government building business
is carried on, and will lead to steps for ex-
pediting work here.
The statement which Colonel Andrews
will make is that he will give bond to
have the building completed by November,
or that he will find other contractors who
will undertake to finish it by October. The
principle thus introduced would be that of
pecuniary responsibility by contractors
who are interested in the prompt compile
ton of the task. How that principle
worked in the case of the Court House is
well known to the people of this city. How
the other principle, that Of work done by
the Government, operates, is becoming no
less famous.
1t may not generally be understood that,
in addition to the inconvenience caused by
delay, there is direct pecuniary loss in the
idleness of the money put into construction
during protracted period. The loss Of in
terest on the s., 500, ,OOO cost of the postofice,
during the time in excess of that taken for
the construction of the Court House is not
less than $500, 900. All of that sum might
have been saved by pushing the work on
one building as it was pushed on the other.
1t is to be hoped that Colonel Andrews
suggestion will bear fruit, and that steps
will be taken to have the new postofice
completed next fall.

PRnnF nF PRnspERITY

The annual statement of the Pennsyl-
vania Railway. although not yet published
in detail, exhibits most gratifying pros
perity for the year. Notwithstanding the
interruption of business, caused by the
floods of the end of May, the net earnings
of the system have increased more than
$3,OOO,OOO over the moderately prosperous
year of 1888. Without the floods the gain
would probably have been over S4,OO0,O OOO
Such a remarkable growth of business and
profits is not only satisfactory to the stock
holding interest in the Pennsylvania Rail
way, but is a pleasant indication of the
activity which has pervaded Pennsylvania
interests from which the greater share, if not
all, of these profits was drawn. The corpo-
ration which enjoys such prosperity should
perceive that it can be made most per-
manent by preserving the prosperity of the
interests which furnish it with business.

DEPEW ON THE CIVIL SERVICE,

Mr.. Chauncey NJ. Depew comes out on
the side of civil service reform in an inter
view which presents arguments that are
already familiar, but which derive addi-
tional force from Mr.. Depew's position and
apt way of putting things. Mr.. Depew
points out what everyone who stops to think
Of it will recognize as true, that the dissat-
isfaction with Harrison's administration is
simply due to the inability of the admins
tration to parcel out the Offices so as to
satisfy everyone. He shows that the New
York Central and Pennsylvania railroads
attain the highest degree of efficiency bv
permanence of positions, and basis of pro-
motion on ability, fidelity and industry
shown in the service of the company. Mr..
Depew naturally thinks that it would be
well for the Government to secure efficiency
in its service by like method as we'll as to
rid our politics of the present perennial
squabble for spoils. If the brilliant Depew
keeps on that way, he will eventually de-
Velop into hated mugwump.

GOVERNMENT AND BANKING.

Mr.. George S. Coe, of New York, is
quoted as saying that the banking opera
tions of the country would get along a great
deal better without Governmental interfer-
ence. On the face of it this indicates a
preference for the abolition of the national
banking system, and the return of the bank
ing business to the absence of supervision
and regulation, which was the case before
the enactment of the national banking act
As Mr.. Coe is the President Of a leading
national bank, and is understood to be a
warm supporter of the national banking
system, it is difficult to believe that he has
intended anything of the sort.
But whether Mr.. Coe said it or not, it is
untrue in the form as stated. Interference
with the details of the banking business
may be injurious; but the super
vision which forbids hazardous bank
ing and protects the depositors from
being deluded by empty banks, has made
banking operations far more satisfactory
than they ever were without such regula-
tion. The stability of the national banks
has been the salvation of business in many
cases since their establishment; and while
some of them may have been bankrupted by
fraudulent or reckless management, their
general solvency has been the sheet anchor
of commerce in many crisis. Pittsburg
has had the best opportunity to observe this

THE CAR STOVE AT WORK.

Another railroad train went off a trestle
in Indiana yesterday with the loss of seven
lives and number of severe injuries in ad-
dition. The car stove assumed its usual
and fatal prominence in the affair. Most of
the deaths were the horrible one by burning,
and the details, so far as reported, indicate
that the majority of the victims might have
been saved but for that destructive heating
arrangement. How many more losses Of
that kind will be necessary before the rail-
roads set to work in earnest to abolish the
stoves and substitute a system of safe heat
ing it is hard to say. IF the report that a
railroad president was in the list had
proved correct it might have furnished a
stimulant to the reform. But the rule held
good in this case, which uakes such calami-
ties very intrequent when the railroad pres
idents are on board.

WINDOWS BILL DOESN'T SUIT HIM.
Nothing But Free Coinage of Silver Will
Satisfy Senator Teller.

Nothing But Free Coinage of Silver VIII
Satisfy Senator Teller.
WASHINGTON, January Ex-senator Teller,
of Colorado, made an argument to-day before
the House Commitre, on coming of silver coin
age He expressed his disapDrobation of the
Window silver bill, regarding it as hostile to
the silver producing interests of the country.
He looked upon the silver question as one of
the most important before Congress. 1t was
not local question, but one general in its
nature, and the depression in business circles
all over the world was largely due to the treat
ment of silver by the United States Govern
ment since 1873 The Window bill he declared,
was illogical and was Wall street measure 1t
had been prepared by men who had not studied
the silver question, by bankers, when bankers
were not thorough students of financial ques-
tions from a broad standpoint. 1t was very
likeIy, he said that the price of silver would be
increased if the bill should be enacted into
law, but he would not support it on that
account
Mr. Teller thought that the United States
was capable of controlling the silver question
by adopting policy of free coinage, and this.
he said, was the only legitimate method OF
treating the question, althoug h he was In
doubt whether bill Of that sort could escape
a veto by the President. If silver is denied
access to the mints the prices of gold will in
crease in the same relation as cUrn increases in
price If no wheat is milled.

AS AN ART EDUCATOR.
The Great Local Loan Exhibition Promises
to be a Success.


Messrs. Woodwell, Beatty, Hetzel, Frew,
Macbeth and the Wall brothers, the committee
having in charge the art loan exhibition in con-
junction with the opening of the Carnegie
Free Library in Allegheny, are having even
better success than was anticipated IN secur-
ing promises of valuable and rare works for
the occasion. Already they can count upon
having in the exhibits about 100 of the best
canvasses in P1ttsburg. some of which are
worth not less than IS, 600 and S10,00 apiece.
The idea is to make it purely and strictly
loan exhibition, in which there shall appear not
single picture that is for sale or likely to be
fer sale.
Thus the projectors hope to make not only
Tuesday and Wednesday of next week genuine
art educational days at the Carnegie Library;
but it is the desire of all the best friends of the
enterprise that it shall continue open to the
public on Thursday, Friday and Saturday as
we'll. Such an extension of the time of this
free and rare exhibit would surely not incon-
venience the generous lenders nor endanger
insured); and the additional value of the exhi-
bition to the public, from an educational
standpoint, could hardly be estimated in ad-
vance.
The following list of those who have already
promised to loan their paintings will indicate
how really splendid the patronage of the exhi-
bitiOn is to be: Messrs. ]. ]. Vandergrift, w.
L. Frew, ]. M. Schoonmaker, H. DuPuy, A. M.
Byers, D. T. Watson, R. c. Schmertz, R. Shea,

Mrs. Carnegie Gives n German for Her
Daughter, Miss RerIa.
Hardly has the Pittsburg Club House been
shorn of the floral decorations that adorn it for
one social event before it is again transformed.
and the coming and going of florists and their
property keeps the little bachelor abode in a
constant state of commotion, to say nothing of
the events for which the preparations are in
order. One of the prettiest germans ever given
in Pittsburg was danced there last evening.
Mrs. I. NJ. Carnegie was the charming hostess
and the german was given for her daughter,
Miss Retta. About 75 of the younger
set were present, and each guest re-
ceived as souvenir a handsome little
basket of choice flowers. The baskets were of
all colors and shapes, hardly any two resem-
bling each other, and they were filed with the
choicest flowers that Robert c. Patterson could
procure. Besides the lovely floral tributes, the
favors were of silver and Dresden china. A de-
licious supper was served in the dining room,
and Toerge Brothers officiated in their usual
capacity.
The stage upon which the musicians were
seated was most admirably screened with tow
ering tropical productions heavily banked at
the base with numerous bright flowers The
costumes of the youthful dancers were charm
ing, and mirth and gayety reigned until late
hour,

THE idea of military story for comic opera
is certainly an excellent one and very much
better than the regulation political plots, so
common with German operas In 'The Drum
Major" we are promised delightful military
story filed with romance and love, presenting
many clever situations for the comedy element
which is so essential in opera comique nova
days. The production of "The Drum
Major" following that of "Nadjy" at
the Grand Opera House next week.
by Manager Aronson's Company, gives promise
of Deing one of more than ordinary interest.
The music being from the pen of Jacques
Offenbach is a guarantee of its being above the
ordinary, while the staging Of the opera, coming
from the American home of comic opera, is
sure to be in keeping with the many famous
presentations given by the Casino manage
ment.: Manager Aronson is confident that '"The
Drum Major" will prove a most worthy sue
cessor to THE Brigands, which achieved such
a success here last fall.
IT is new farce comedy that comes to the
Bijou next week. They call it The Fakir,"
and give it big name for laughter, pretty
women and dancing.
THE freaks and variety performers at the
Worlds Museum. Allegheny, drew large au-
diences yesterday. A big bill is offered.
