The extraordinary efforts OF the Re
publican headers to place their party
la the underground in anticipation
OF future contests doubtless seem very
remarkable to the plo,ljor who votes
the straight ticket under ali circum-
stanccs and allows the local bosses to
do his thinking for him. He sees no
reason why such close advantage
should be taken of every opportunity
for entrenching the party for a mighty
effort at the next Presidential election.

hold on the 'sinews OF war; that will
enable it to reach out for votes and

not full knowledge of the mathemat-

vision and silence" and !ull concep-
ton OF the rules which demonstrate the
cohesive powor OF public plunder'?''
And have we not he might add,
in our own State, had an avalanche
of victory that has fairly turned the
heads of its petty managers p
Yes, this is all true; but the wise
ones Of the party see in all this very
little encouragement for assurance OF
victory in 1892. They realize that
over-confidence OF the masses has gen.
orally proven an element OF weakness
at the polls, destroying that unity of
purpose which a common danger pro-
notes. They know that popular
majority OF $4,000 was cast for the
Democratic candidates for President
and Vice President at the last election,
and that the hocus-pocus plan on
which the Electoral College is based
alone gave the offices to Harrison and
Morton. They know that Harrison's
Administration so far has proven a
gigantic failure, in a party sense,
and wholly wanting in the evidences
of craftsmanship which should char
acterize the acts of the Chief Mag
istrate OF great nation. They have
no hope of anything better from
it in the future. They have beheld
the handwriting ON the wall, in the
distress that has prevailed amid the
laboring classes, which were to have
been so materially benefited by the
promised blessings of protection.
They have heard the surge of the COM
ing storm in the mutterings of a
betrayed people, and read the fate of
their party in the desperate faces OF
those who sway the balance of power
ct the ballot-box.
And this is not all the cause for ap-
prehension. Tho efforts made for the
perpetuity of the organization have in
many cases been SO flagrantly in vio-
lation Of recognized rights and priv
leges of the minority, and have set
such an arbitrary, oppressive and ty-
rannical precedent, and in some de-
gree justified its use by either party

At Meeting of West End Council No. S24,
Royal Arcanum.
The hall of the old Odd Fellows build
ing, the pioneer structure of the West End,
has been the gathering place of most of
the secret meetings of this place, and its
walls have been the limit of the work Of
these societies, and hold volumes of their
uttered sentiments that will never be known
to the outside world, but the meeting Of last
Monday evening of West End Council No.
S24, Royal Arcanum, was one OF rare oc-
curence.
This event marks the history of the first
visit of the grand officers, and in apprecia-
tion of this occasion the members decided to
make it one that they and visiting councils
will long remember, and such was the re-
suit. 1t was about o'clock before the
meeting was called to order. After few
preliminaries an address was made by Grand
Regent j. A. Langftt, whose main topic was
upon the aims and objects of theorder. Grand
Secretary, James Wright; Grand Orator,
Mr.. Knox, and DIG. D., H. A. Tanner, also
made short addresses. Among the members
of the council who occupied the speakers
stand were Mr.. Samuel Harper, who made
an interesting and humorous address UPON
the success OF their council. Mr.. H. L. Nc
Cav made the closing remarks, citing the
benefits to be derived from life insurance,
and urging upon all to lend helping hand
toward the future growth of the Royal Ar
canum.
There was now only one thing remained
that was, how to devour the tempting re-
past which had been prepared. The sus-
pense was not prolonged, and all present did
ample justice to the good things placed be-
fore them,

"Well?" asked William, as we stood upon
the desolate prairie, gazing blankly over
our blackened crops.
"Well, nowP was all could say in
reply.
We certainly were two unfortunates. In
England our professional prospects had
been blighted by the malice of the examin-
ers in law and medicine respectively, who
showed such an unaccountable dislike to us
during our first trials as to convince us that
it was futile to strive since we were doomed
beforehand. Then our relatives professed
to discover that we were wasting our own
time and their money, and packed us off to
a fresh sphere of action.
On this side the ocean we had really
braced ourselves for an effort, but i'll luck
had still pursued US. We gave ear to a
plausible land agent in Chicago, who said
he was an Englishman and loved US, and
we bought farm of him, and found too late
that our "rich improved prairie farm, with
unimpeachable residential and other accom-
mediation, centrally situate in the most pros
porous portion of that magnificent and boon-
ing State of Dakota, crossed by main
trunk road, and close to celebrated rail-
road CENTER" was wretched sterile track.

miles from a settlement, and with not even

to own ourselves swindled, we had hung on
in desperate hope, and had sent home peri
odical accounts, more or less fantastic, of
our condition and prospects, and had man
aged to exist on the resulting remittances.
And now, just when after three years of
harder toll than we had suspected ourselves
capable of, we had managed at last to get a

In selecting subject upon which to write
The DISPATCH acted wisely in pluralizing
the word benefit, for most assuredly there
are a number of benefits to be derived by
the Iron City from the Exposition now being
held. The purpose of this article is to point
ought three of them. In the first place L
believe Pittsburg will reap moral benefit.
It;is almost impossible to look upon the
wonders of art and mechanism here dis
played and not feel that labor is ennobling.
That which produces aspirations for higher
things, and stimulates the mind and muscles
to new endeavor along the lines indicated,
touches chord in the moral nature that vi
brates with tuneful harmony. What mag
nifcent displays of power in the engines and
dynamos that keep in motion the whirllng
wheels. Think of the primitive source of
all power and YOU see the God of Nature
enthroned in awful majesty. Wonderful
being though man is, he never yet created
anything. That he has developed what the
Almighty has originated can easily be
proved by visit to the Pittsburg Exposi-
tion. Look at the Iightnings of heaven
will. Who can gaze into the cloud
enveloped skies and see the fash, and hear
the booming roar OF natures electric demon
strations and fail to recognize that there is
God? From this awe-inspiring display of
Divine power turn to the works of man, and
see how he has been enabled so to blend
existing matter, possessing latent forces, as
to generate similar power. We are told
that "the heavens declare the glory OF God,
and the armament showeth His handi-
work" Keeping in mind that God is the
father Of all motion, and that He has dele
gated to man the wisdom to utilize the
agents which He has made, no thinking
mind can look upon the ingenuity and art
displayed without feeling that the moral
nature is thereby upliited. Truly the AL
mighty is in intimate touch with the cap
stone OF His creation. When He breathed
into man the breath of life and he became
living soul, must there not in some degree
have been an emanGtion from and of Him
sell? How otherwise could Art link itself
so close to Nature or Mechanism so init
mately resemble His Infinite potentiality?
From the standpoint of easily de6red
analogy it is perfectly legitimate to assume

TO BRIDGE THE OHIO.
West Enders Want a More Convenient
Way Of Getting 10 Allegheny.
THE PROJECT is WELL UNDER WAY
Committee Appointed to Interest Allegheny
Capitalists.
A TALK WITH ONE OF THE PROMOTERS

A bridge across the Ohio, connecting AL
legheny and the West End, is the latest
project. The scheme is agitated by West
End citizens, and it Is believed it viii be
carried through. A meeting of the pro-
moters of the enterprise was held this week.
There was dozen or more of the best known
citizens OF the West End present, and the
matter was fully discussed. A committee
was appointed for the purpose of visiting
some of the brokers in the city, to induce
them to see some of the Allegheny people,
and, if possible, get them interested in the
proposed bridge. This committee will per-
form its duty early next week, and then an
other meeting will be held to see what can
be done.
As far as can be learned, it is the inten-
tion of the promoters to run tie bridge from
the foot of CHARTERS street, in Allegheny. to
the foot OF SteubeE street, in the West End
This will reach the present travel on the
Steubenville pike, and when the proposed
new electric road is built on that thorough
fare the traffic will be largely increased.
But this is not where the bridge would be
the greatest benefit. There is now great

gheny, with no means Of getting there ex-
cept over the William Thaw ferry or up
across the Point and Union bridges.
In the winter the ferry does not run with
any regularity, and it is not only incon-
venient but expensive to teamsters to be
compelled to drive heavy loads so far.
Then, there is another class of people that
will be benefited by the bridge. There are
hundreds of workmen employed in ALLIE
gheny who live in the West End. Tolls on
the ferry cost them at least $40 year il the
boat runs regular, and il not, they must
walk around by the bridge, distance of
two or three miles.
ADISPATCH reporter talked to one of the
projectors of the bridge yesterday, and he
said: "The citizens OF this end of the city
have for long time been considering the
advisability of putting bridge across the
Ohio at that place, but we never got SO far
with the scheme as now. 1 believe if we
can get the Allegheny people interested in
the project, it will go through. 1t viii be
a convenience and benefit in more wavs
than one. 1t will be convenience to our
people who are employed on the other side
OF the river, and it will be benefit gener-
ally to this side, and especially to property
owners. Besides if the bridge is built, it
will not be long until some company will
want to run an electric road across it to COIL
meet the West End with Allegheny"

he slammed down the shutter angrilv.

unreasonably, since in these unsettled re-

was nothing for it but to return and wait

And thus for fortnight did I regularly

"Benefts, like birds, may be said to come

Pittsburgers to consider the probable results
of this yearly undertaking of ours. Enter
prise, energy, intellect, capital, sll have
been expended to render it vast and far
reaching, and in proportion, as it touches
every need practically, and every art estheti-
cally, the beneficial scope will be widened.
The records OF the Patent Office show that
Pittsburg teens with busy, ingenious brains
no less than fuming mills and factories, and
so to the whirring panorama Of wheels, this
pandemonium of steam and cleo
tricity, verge the mechanically minded.
So behold him standing: Here
a screw and there pivot, there piston,
here an arm-periect, we say; but not so this

imaginary screw and there a thought-made
pivot; now he places them in juxtaposItion
with this mechanical fact, and next year a
begrimed artisan is a millionaire inventor,
and Pittsburg adds another gem to her al
ready lustrous crown of practical invention,
and not only this city. but mankind, may
pay admiring tribute to the possibilities of
our yearly test school. So we may theorize
through the whole range of practically and

That it is not happily chosen purifier even

of the girl. A young lad told him there
had been young French girl around the

day. The police have been asked to search
for the missing girl, but all efforts to find
her have thus far been without success.
