A NEW MANUFACTURING TOWN.

The town-builders have taken hold of
Parnassus, as will be seen BY the facts pub
lished elsewhere, concerning the recent large
purchase of land in that heretofore rather
somnolent village. One of the prominent
features OF the present business prosperity
has been the creation of new manufacturing
towns in Western Pennsylvania bv syndi-
cate operations. Jeannette, Wilmerding
and CharIeroi have already presented strik-
ing examples of that sort; and the Psrnassus
operation follows in the same line. So far
as can be judged from the points which are
made public, the new enterprise presents a
superior advantage over its predecessors, in
that each of them is dependent for pros
perity on single large industrial establish
ment; while at Parnassus it is understood
that a variety of industries will be located.
This will give the prosperity of the new
place more stability and prevent the town
from being overshadowed by single cor
porstion, Where will the next new manu-
featuring town be locatedP

of railroad sell above par, any issue ofnew
stock must be offered for sale to the highest
bidder, is arousing the criticisms OF the
Boston press. The Herald in an extended
article points out that the measure was
intended to prevent one method of stock
watering; that it was supported by the trade
organizations and press of the State almost
unanimously; and that its defeat was de-
cided example of the influence of the cor
porations in legislation.
We have no doubt that these criticisms Of
the Legislature are well founded; and il is
somewhat gratifying to find that such papers
as the Boston Herald are beginning to per-
ceive some portion Of the public injury that
can be done by legislative bodies under the
dictation of corporations. That journal has
been foremost in disappearing of those who
have agitated against corporate evils be-
side which this issue of new stock to favored
cliques is a mere drop in the bucket, and
to denounce as demagoguery the protests
against the growth of corporate influence
with legislature and courts. 1t is now be-
ginning to see that such abuses threaten the
small investor equally with the farmer and
small manufacturers and merchants.
The perception of such facts as these is the
first step in the creation of what the Herald
has heretofore regarded as the obnoxious
class of anti-monopolists. As it has seen
the use of corporate influence in legislation
for indubitably corrupt purposes, there is
hope that it may in time be ranked in that

To Make the West Penn Hospital Entertain.
ment n Grent Success.
The sale of seats for the West Penn Hospital
entertainments began yesterday at s. Hamil-
toms music store. The indications are that the
entire house will be sold by Thursday or Fri
day at the farthest. They are being bought in
lots. One man from Sewickley bought 20 Some
of the G. A. R. posts are buying in 25 and 80
lots, and selling them to their members at half
price. Arrangements have been made by
which parties from the country can order
tickets either by mail or telegraph.
Mile. Marie Decca, who is on the programme
for two solos, is spoken of by the European and
American press as one of the most brilliant Of
American sopranos. She ID of Scotch birth,
was three years under the instruction OF the
world-renowned Marchesi, OF Paris, and has
met with distinguished successes before Parls-
ian and London audiences.
OF course the Marine Band Is the great at
traction and it is principally to hear this great
American musical organization that there Is
such rush for seats. 1t is worthy OF notice
that at the recent official reception Of the Pam
American delegates in Washington. the band,
under the direction of John Philip LOUISA, did
what no other band. either In this or any otner
country could have done. The national air OF
each of the IL countries represented IN the
congress were played. Prof. Louisa has done
something in addition to that which will re-
fleet credit on himself. His collection of ma
tional airs were published and sent to every
naval band, SO that whatever port an Amerl-
can war vessel may visit, its band may be able
to salute the colors with its own national airs.
Arrangements are completed Tor the MILL
tary fete and drill, and good weather IS only
needed to make the affair grand success.

A MOVABLE DAM WANTED.

The action of the Chamber of Commerce
yesterday with regard to the class of dam to
be erected in the Allegheny river at Hers
Island is undoubtedly based on good reasons
and should receive the favorable considera-
ton of the Government officials. A movable
dam at that point would be an unslloyed
benefit to commerce; the other kind will
contain dangers, as set forth in Colonel Rob
erts' resolutions, which will largely, if not
entirely, offset the benefits received from it.
The sole purpose of the construction being
the improvement of the harbor and the ben
eft to the manufactures lining the rivers,
the considerations involved should be decis-
i've with the Government. From the express
sions of the Government officials In charge
of the work there is every reason to believe
that the change called for by the Chamber
of Commerce will be made.

EDITOR PLUMB, of the Cory Flyer, since his
withdrawal in favor of Mr.. Griswold, has been
as dumb as an oyster. That his action was the

that Mr.. Payne. of the Blade, can't find an
opening to thrust a lance at him.
HARRISBURG Call: With the Republicans
it is still free-for-all race, with Mr. Delamater
well in the lead, and the chances in his favor.

THE NEW b. G. o.

The telegraphic advlces from Baltimore
that the Mayor of that city will sign the
ordinance for the sale of the city's stock to
the syndicate that has bid for it indicates
that the transaction is practically COM
pleted. This, if we are not mistaken, marks
the close Of the last large ownership of rail-
way stock by a city, county or State.
Baltimore has been more fortunate than
most governmental investors in railway
stocks, by getting par for its holdings, with
good dividends for great portion of the
time that it has owned the stock. Yet 1t
may be doubted, if something of the ex-
perience usual in such cases, has not been
repeated here, both by the reckless manage
ment which caused che suspension of divi-
dends as well as by the influence which has
prevented their resumption.
The experience of public proprietorship
in railways, gained by such instances has
been so generally unsatisfactory that the
majority Of States now forbid investment Of
either the funds or credit of the people in
that way. This is based on the principle
that it is not within the proper province of
taxation. Yet, of late, school of thought
has argued in favor of the governmental
ownership of railways. 1n'eonnection with
past experience this is equivalent to saying
that the unsatisfactory results which have
resulted where city, county or State govern
ments have been part owners in railways,
would be made all right, if the Government
had been the sole owner. But the logic
which makes that conclusion is decidedly
weak. If public ownership in conjunction
with private interest cannot insure careful,
intelligent and honest management, is there
any likelihood that public ownership uu-
aided by private interest would do any
better?
With regard to the results of the deal in
Baltimore and Ohio stock, while they are
still largely matter OF guess work, there is
every reason to believe that they will be of
great Importance to Pittsburg. Rumors as
to the intentions of the capitalists who are
acquiring the stock tell of important ex-
tensions and the erection of new through
routes and the connection of Mr.. II. W.
Oliver, whose interests are all in Pittsburg,
point to the Pittsburg and Western, under
his presidency, as one of the important links
in direct route from Baltimore to Chicago.
The steady and successful work which has
been done in building up the business and
improving the facilities of the latter road
prepare it for closer relations with the Bal
timore and Ohio, which would make the i'm
portance OF that combination here more
nearly a balance to the Pennsylvania Rail-
road than has yet been the case.
Of course, such reorganization of the
Baltimore and Ohio would be fraught with
great benefits to PIttsburg, and the shipping
public of this city will watch with interest
for further developments.
