TIE ORACULAR VIEW.

The attempt of DISPATCH reporter to
obtain some political expression. from Sena-
tor Quay, was more successful than the
average of such efforts usually are. While
the Republican manager with his usual
adroitness avoided committing himself to
ANYTHING in particular, his sentiments were
expressed to the effect that Wharton Barker
is chronic kicker; that Congressman Dal-
zell's opposition is incurable, and therefore
must be taken as endurable, and that: ''The
Republican nominee, whoever he may be, will
be elected by an old-time majority"
This latter expression is somewhat
familiar one in Pennsylvania politics, and
is generally construed to carry with it the
obnoxious inference that the Republican
party can nominate any one who may suit
the purposes of those in charge of the party
machinery. But, even supposing this is
true, does it at all lessen the duty of the
managers to select candidates who will
represent the popular rights, and whose
names convey some assurance that they will
serve the interests of the public? 1t does
not follow because the party can elect
man, that it is either good morals or good
policy to elect one who represents obnoxious
principles or dangerous methods.
Besides which, in view of the stir that is
made in this matter, prophecy ofthis sort,
il put TO the test, may demonstrate that
there are uncertainties to political forecasts
in 1890, almost as great as those which pre-
vailed over weather prophecies in 1889.

WHAT Is A CoMPETENCYl

What is decent living income for hu-
man atom upon this terrestrial ball? There
seems to be great difference of opinion.
The Duchess of Marlborough, who learned
to live on high scale in this country before
she married title, says that a hundred
thousand dollars year is not enough for
her needs. She thinks she could make both
ends meet without pinching herself on two
hundred thousand dollars a year. Another
fashionable parsonage of the masculine per-
suasion testified in court the other day that
the lowest sum he could live on was thirty
thousand year. Another interesting scrap
of information bearing on the subject came
out in some legal proceedings in which
Adonis Dixey. the actor, was concerned. He
said that he required two hundred dollars
week to defray his strictly personal ex-
penses-these not including the cost of main
tanning his family.
Yet we very we'll know that millions-of
men and women manage to support life on
less than a thousand dollars year. On
even smaller incomes some men keep them
selves and their families in fairly COM
Portable way. In discussing the question
of the proftableness of literature as profess
sion the other day great many good authori-
ties were quoted as saying that they did not
believe more than half dozen authors in
America earned enough to live on from
their books. Here again arises the ques-
tion, What is enough to live on? Who will
define the quantity of cold cash. 1t is very
certain that very few of us agree Oh this
point. Another fact is that great many
want great deal more money to support life
than is good for them. The number of these
too prodigal, too greedy, and too aristocratic
Americans is increasing, and it is not a
comforting fact to contemplate either.

THE SUGAR DISCRIMINATION.

The fact seems to be established beyond
any reasonable doubt that the shipments of
sugar by the Sugar Trust to this city are
made at a special rate three cents lower than
the regular treights to the general trade.
The further TACT that large shipments of
sugar are made by the trust to other parts of
the country, over the line which makes this
special rate, warrants the conclusion that
the favoritism is matter of deliberate poi
icy. The maintenance of trusts by railroad
Determinations is a standing feature OF the
combination policy. 1t is not singular that
it should exist in the fight between the
Sugar Trust and the independent trade.
Three cents a hundred pounds does NOT seem
to be very big advantage; but when we re-
fleet that it amounts to 5000 day on the
trusts capacity, it is plain that it is no
small item. The discrimination is wan
ton violation of the Interstate commerce
act; and those who have defeated and eI-
posed it deserve credit

AN UNNECESSARY DISPUTE.

The question of the organization of the
board which is to have charge of the Carne-
gle Library, brought out by the interview
with c. L. Magee, Esq, yesterday,
seems to have displaced the previously
prominent one of the site. A number of
expressions of opinion are given on the
question elsewhere, the most prominent one,
in opposition to Mr.. Magee's attitude, being
that of Rev. W. j. Holland,
Mr.. Holland brings cut in detail the point
alluded to editorially by The DISPATCH
yesterday, that the proposition made by Mr..
Carnegie to Councils. after full consultation
with committee appointed by that body,
and by its approval, stated clearly the
provision to which objection is DOW raised.
That generous proposition was accepted by
Councils in a manner that expressed the
intention to accept its exact terms. By
what has been supposed to be mere verbal
oversight, this one point was left in doubt;
and the question now is whether the
professed acceptance by Councils of Mr..
Carnegie's proposition shall be made an
actual one in accordance with the terms he
So far as the point at issue is concerned,
The DISPATCH does not regard as BY anv
means as difficult or as important as the
one on which some discussion has already
been had, that of the site for the central
building. But the credit of Councils can
hardly permit them to take the position
that having formally offered an acceptance
Of the terms of the proposition they in
tended to slip in a change where it would
not be noticed. 1t would be hard to attach
any other significance to insistence upon
this point. If the departure in the ordi-
nance from the terms of the proposition is
taken as a verbal mistake, it can be easily
corrected. But if it is now to be declared
that the intention was to profess an accept
ance of Mr.. Carnegie's terms, but to affect
surreptitious change in the drawing of the
ordinance, it would amount to a very grave
indictment of the good faith of Councils,
brought by themselves.
We do not believe that Councils will as
sumo any such unfortunate attitude. The
only position that any person can afford to
take in connection with such project is to
aid with advice and encouragement the
effort to secure it the greatest success and
the highest public usefulness.

ENFORCEMENT WILL BE NEEDED.

The Senate passed the bill against trusts
as reported by the Judiciary Committee
yesterday, with a single dissenting vote
The measure is by no means as strong as
those proposed by Senator Sherman or Sen
ator Reagan; but it is strong enough if
energetically enforced to do away with most
OF the trusts that now seek to abolish COM
petition and engross trade. But the coun-
try has already been brought by experience
face to face with the problem whether its
laws can be enforced against the great COM
binations OF capital. Reference is made
elsewhere to the fact that the Interstate
commerce law is wantonly violated; while
the facts both with regard to railroad dis
examinations and trusts are that there were
open violations of the common law from
their inception. If the House passes the
Senate bill, which is rather unlikely in its
present organization. the nation will then
have to take in hand the test of the question
whether it can make its laws obeved.

1T ELUCIDATEs ITSELF.

1t is remarked by the Boston Herald with
regard to Congressman Buckalew's steady
refusal to commit himself to the Democratic
theory of parliamentary absence while visi-
bly, present, that "Mr. Buckalew is very
obstinate man, but he ought to elucidate
his unique position
That man of vigorous intellect vino re-
fuses to accept the theory that member can
be constructiyely absent because they say
they are, should adhere to his honest belief
despite the dictates of party caucus, is un-
doubtedly and unfortunately unique posi-
tion. But it is significant and rather de-
pressing instance of the spread of the idea
that public men must belle their deliberate
convictions at the collective behest OF their
party, that the Herald, which processes to
be an independent paper. should consider
the grounds for such action so obscure as to
require elucidation. 1t ought not to be
difficult for anyone who understands the
meaning of the word independence to per-
ceive that Mr.. Buckalew has made VI his own
mind on a constitutional and parliamentary
question. Whether he is right or wrong in
believing that the requirements of parlia-
mentary law and the duty of public repre-
sentative are not met by refusing to perform
the duty of voting and taking refuge in
legal fiction, is not important in this con-
nection. 1t ough: to be clear that he is tax
ing the course that he believes to be right
because he believes it right.
1t is to be hoped that the day will come
when such action will not be as unique as it
now is. But it will not be hastened by the
efforts of so-called independent journals SO
bound up by party as to think it needs
elucidation when a man refuses to throw
overheard his own convictions because his
party orders him 10.

and lighting use, mainly in 'Bufalo,is is one of
the peculiar features of the day. The names
connected with the enterprise are such high
ones as those of Winslow, Lanier & Co.,
Drexel, Morgan s. Co., D. o. Mills and the
Vanderbilt party, which insures that there
will be plenty of capital ready to undertake
the task of Harvesting the great cataract.
But the apparently undisputed nature of
the present project forms decided contrast
to the position which has up to short time
been one of almost universal acceptance. 1t
has been declared, when previous projects
of that sort have been mooted, that to con-
vert that Latural wonder of the world to the
base use of driving engines and running
machinery would be a desecration of its
esthetic value. On the ground of preserv-
ing the great natural wonder, every such
proposition has been sternly suppressed.
Now not whimper is heard against the
scheme. Is the power of these monarchs of
Wall street so great that they can amend
the esthetic principles which kept everyone
but themselves away from the use OF Nj
agara for industrial power?
The significance of this inquiry is height
ened by the impression that the law OF New
York, making Niagara public park, inter-
posed an obstacle to manufacturing schemes
there. That a combination representing
some three or four hundred millions can
ignore the laws of a State is nothing espe-
cially new; but that it can set aside both
statute law and the esthetic platform of a
nation is an Indication that the power of
the multi-millionairesi is even greater than
the power of Niagara, of which they pro-
pose to take possession.

Erwin was welded to Prof. John Pritchard.

bride one of the most charming seen this
season. The front central pews of the church
were filled with the family relatives of the
bride and groom, and facing the deep-toned
organ. at which Mr.. Rinehart Mayer presided
in highly gratifying manner, was seated the
Mozart Club. Four ushers, Messrs. James H

The center aisle and were followed by Miss
Erwin and Mr.. Pritchard who were otherwise
unattended.
The ceremony was performed by Rev. E.
Belfour, the pastor of the church. and was a
ring service. The bride was attired In cream
white costume of dancing length, with high
corsage and long sleeves, and she carried
graceful cluster of harrisi lilies. Her hair was
coiled IN pretty knot at the back of her head
and altogether she presented q charming pict-
ure of simplicity and grace as, in leaving the
altar, she recognized her parents with a smile
and slight inclination of her head, and also sew

The wonderful growth of the leading news
papers of this country is astounding and fur
nishes the best evidence OF the intellectual
growth of the American people. Dailies con-
tanning from to l6 pages and circulating
100000 copies, and furnishing tue news uf the
whole world, are eagerly devoured by hungry
public. The old-time question of ''what to
print has resolved itself into what to leave
out" Among the great newspapers of our
State none is more rapidly gaining prominence
than THE PITTsBURG DISPATCH. Its vast
news-gathering machinery. including leased
wires to all the principal points and bureaus in
all the chief cities, coupled with an earnest,
independent and progressive policy. has earned
for it a national reputation and made it a
necessity in the homes of our people.
The mammoth 20page Sunday edition, which
has attained circulation of over s., 900 copies,
is wonder in itself, containing as 1t does ar
ticles from scores of contributors of the high
est merit and reputation, besides special cable
letters, sporting and business reviews, and all
the current news. 1t is a paper especially
adapted for the home circle.
