MIDSUMMER MADNESS.

This is the season Of the year when
cranks abound. Every country is thus
afflicted from time to time; in England it
takes the innocuous, if silly, form of ex-
plotting big gooseberries and the like; in
France frequently the frothings of red
radicals variegate the summer dullness,
and here the cranks, political, religious
and of all kinds, seize upon the vacant
stage and demand hearing. In the last
forty-eight hours two gigantic schemes
have been set before the public The Rev.
j. W. Carter, of Georgia, offers as solu-
tion of the Southern problem a plan by
which two States shall be bought by
the United States and set aside for the
exclusive use of the colored race. All re-
quired to do this, Mr.. Carter thinks, would
be to have the Constitution altered so that
the United States may make this purchase
of land. Other difficulties, such as the
trifing one of raising the money to buy
enough land to give every colored person
home, and, presumably, ten-acre gar
den patch, do not seem to have occurred
to the reformer at all. He devotes his at
tention to showing how beautifully the
plan would work if separate States for the
colored race could be obtained.
The colored man is also to be the bene-
fciary of an equally stupendous scheme
evolved by the Hon. W. R. Vaughan, ex-
Mayor of Council Bluffs. He modestly
proposes that Uncle Sam should pen
sion all the ex-slaves in the coun-
try. 1t wouldn cost more than S40O,0
600, and what is that to crank at mid
summer? He has deliberate method in
his madness, also, for he proposes to OBJ
tain pledge from all possible Presidential
candidates, from President Harrison down,
and those who refuse to give it he will op-
pose in the nominating convention and
later at the polls, if need be.
These are merely samples of great
school of similar fish, which come in-shore
and disturb the placid shadows in summer
time

A CANAL SAVED,

The re-opening of the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal, which will take place in few
days, if not tomorrow, is an event Of su-
preme importance to the people of Mary
land They are to be congratulated upon
the salvation for their use of most useful
waterway, which but for the timely inter-
vention of public-spirited citizens and THE
DISPATCH would have been quietly put out
of existence in the interest of railroad cor
poration two years ago. 1t is gratifying to
observe that the Baltimore journals which
could not see or would not disapprove the
destruction of the canal at the time THE
DISPATCH called attention to the threat
ened disaster are very alive to the vital
value of the canal to Maryland now. The
assertions of some interested critics that
the canal could not be repaired or made fit
for practical use except by an unwarrant-
able outlay of money are disproved
The canal is now ready to supply con-
venient transportation facilities to thou
sands of residents along its banks, and will
fulfill to some extent the intentions of the
men who first planned it. The difficulty
in the past seems to have been not so much
the maintenance of the canal as its pres
ervation from the plundering paws of the
politicians, acting for the railways. Now
that the receivers have put the canal into
serviceable shape the people of Maryland
should take care of their property.

The woods are full of schemers, but 1t Is

when firm doing business on Fifth avenue
notihed the Morning Nescs that crooked busi-

"You are said to be doing crooked busf-
ness here" remarked the reporter, by
way OF breaking the ice, "and complaint

The manager was not surprised, in fact he
said he was expecting the call and was very
anxious to set himself right before the pub
lie. HIS business was Legitimate, and the
details were gone into at length. The rep
resentatfve of the press was compelled to
take lengthy notes, to read them over for

MISREPRESENTATION FADING AWAY

No sooner had Chauncey NJ Depew ar
rived in England than he began giving our
British friends some good points on the
Mckinley bill, reciprocity and the tariff in
general They are ever ready over there
TO learn about these things, and Mr.. Depew
is a good man to enlighten them. He
showed them how we formerly paid South
America, 100000, 900 in cash annually
through England and Germany, but now,
thanks to the Mckinley bill and reciproc-
ity, we propose to try to pay for our raw
material in trade. Like the farmer who
comes to town with his butter, and eggs,
and wheat, We want 10 take part in trade
and have a cash balance to bring back
home
However Mr.. Depew makes mistake
when he says the Democratic tidal wave
which swept over the country last fall
was caused by cranks created by the
Mckinley bill. 1t was in reality caused in
part by Republicans who were stampeded
by false reports of the new tariff measure
and he'd not the required faith to await
the reaction sure TO come. But the ex-
tTavagant appropriations of the Republican
Congress had also a great deal to do with
the November vote, wholly aside from the
misrepresentation of the Mckinley bill
A fair, square canvass on the Mckinley
bill and the protection policy is now afoot
in Ohio, and THE DISPATCH feels conf
dent that both will be sustained by such
an overwhelming vote as will oblige the
Democrats to look for another issue besides
antagonism to the protective tariff in their
Presidential campaign of the year follow

ALBRIGHT OUTLOOK,

There are no labor troubles existing to-
day in Pittsburg or vicinity of sufficient
importance to imperil manufacturing in
terests in the coming busy season. While
the outlook in this regard is not altogether
clear, there is wider harmony than usual
here between labor and capital. The
trouble about the scale in one of the de-
partments in the Vesuvius Mill is in fair
way TO be settled amicably, and the end of
the strike at SteeltOn removes distant
peril Of complications for local manufact-
urers. Thus apparently there is nothing
to prevent a full employment of Pitts
burg's energies for the rest of the year
The effect of the wonderful harvests in
the " est will soon be felt here, no doubt,
and it is well that our mills and factories
should be ready TO fill the demands soon
to be made upon them. Reports from the
West are all of one kind, and that of a
most cheering description. The crops are
the largest ever known, and the country
as q whole is in solid and satisfactory
state. This must mean enormous de-
mands upon Fittsburg for her peculiar
products, for iron and steel, for glass, for
coal, and for everything she makes or
handles The humblest workman is as
much interested in the condition of the
country at large as the greatest capitalist,
and it is incumbent upon them both in
PittSburg TO permit no strike or lockout
TO hold back the city whenit is her time to
step forward. Happily the comprehen-
sion of this important responsibility is
more general than ever before, and the
prospect for Pittsburg's industries, and
therefore for all the community, is very
bright indeed.

AS TO ALEXANDER M,GLUE.

Miss Irene McCloskey, of PunNsutawney,
Pa, has written the following note to the
Bradford Era:
"MR. EDIToR-Can you or any of your
readers inform me who was the author of
that beautiful and pathetic little literary
gem beginning:
"'The death angel smote Alexander McGlue
And gave him protracted repose:
He wore q check shirt and a No. shoe,
And had pink wart on his nose
"If possible, 1 would like to get the entire
poem, as we are going to have an entertain
ment in Shields Hall next week and 1 am
on the programme to speak piece"
The Bradford Era may have fastened
to the assistance of Miss McCloskey
and divulged the authorship of this
exquisite lyric, but If it has not it
should lose no time IN stating that it may
be found in that somber picture of Ameri-
can life furnished by Mr.. Max Adler in his
book ''Out of the Hurry Burly." Miss Nc
Closkey is unreasonable, however, in de-
string further poetic information about
Alexander McGlue. The quatrain quoted
is surely complete in itself, and contains
all that can be expected in an epigram-
matte epitaph. The poem in question is
companion piece, if we are not mistaken,
to another gem to be found in the same
book, which gained larger reputation by
reason of the London Times quoting it as
a sample of American obituary verse, and
which began as follows:
Willie had purple monkey
Climbing on a yellow stick,
! Al
absorption of the yellow and purple paint
by the luckless William.

THE TORY APoLoGIzER.

Lord Salisbury's speech at the Lord
Mayors late banquet was singularly bold
in tone, considered in the light of last
weeks election at WiSbeck, which in
vOlved the loss of another Tory strong
hold, and brought up the total of Liberal
gains at bye-electiOns since 1886 to eighteen,
or thiTty-siX votes on division in the House
Of Commons. Naturally Lord Salisbury
did not allude to the reverses of the Tory
party, for they could not be explained
away; but he showed Difference to public
opinion in his defense of the Govern
ment's foreign policy Still, his denial
Of the existence of any treaties bind
ing England to concerted action with
the Driebund will not disabuse
the English people, any more than il will
the equally interested French and Russians,
of the suspicion that England is committed
to an understanding with the Triple Alli-
ance now controlling Europe That was
the meaning of the gorgeous entertainment
of the German Emperor, and the equally
marked civilities to the Prince of Naples,
or else they were obiectless. Lord Sails
bury's post-prandial declaration that he
hoped shortly to welcome the French feet
TO England will not remove the impression
created by the previous hospitalities to
enemies ofFrance. The platitudes about the
nations working in harmony-more on ac-
count of kindred interests than paper treat
ies-will not allay the fear of a continental
war which is alarming Europe, and were
merely the padding of a regulation Lord
Mayors dinner Grafton. Nobody who
reads Of the cordial and enthusiastic re-
cepUiOn accorded the French naval officers
at st. Petersburg can fail to see that the
situation in Europe is exceedingly crit
icaL
As TO home affairs Lord Salisbury's as
surance is quite delicious. He pretends to
believe that the Irish policy of the Govern
ment and its new measures in England
have met with popular approval-and
this in the face OF narrow escapes from de-
feat in Parliament, and downright disas-
ters to the Tory cause at the polls time
and time again. 1t is evident that the
Tory leader intends to hang on to power
as long as he can, and that he will not ap-
peal to the country till forced to do so in
the regular course of law Luckily for
him the majority which brought him into
Office in 1886 was sufficiently large to stand
even the extraordinary shrinkage which

ave Pittsburgers have been in hopes that
the name of the Smoky City would not be
applicable TO our h. me in the future. but
am afraid we will have to accept it as q fixed
fact that we will have to go back to the use
of coal again" said a well-known business
man of the metropolis of the western part
of the state yesterday. 'In anticipation Of
the failure of the supply of natural gas the
men interested In the great manufacturing
industries are already looking about for a
convenient and sufficient supply of coal
for their purposes. With this object in
view q survey has just been made of q
proposed railroad from McKeesport, Pa,
to Salisbury, Indiana county, in this
State. Those interested state that the
line of the road follows the great Pittsburg
coal seam its entire distance and will de-
velop some OF the best coal land in Pennsyl-
vania The daily consumption of coal in
of natural gas that is used is over 200 tons.
The supply adjacent to the city is being
gradually but surely exhausted, and with
the inevitable failure of the supply Of
natural gas the demand will be greatly in
creased and the manufacturers of our city

opening of the new field. 1t is not definitely
known whether the road will be built by a
combination of Pittsburg business interests

A SUDDEN SHOWER.

Barefooted boys scud up the street
Or scurry under the sheltering sheds;
And schoolgirl faces, pale and sweet,
CLEAN from the shawls about their heads.
Doors bang; and mother voices call
From alien homes; and rusty gates
Are slammed; and high above it all
The thunder grim reverberates.
And then abrupt, the rain. the rain!
The earth lies gaspinY; ard the eyes
Behind the streaming window pane
Smile at the troubles of the skies.
The highway smokes, sharp echoes ring;
The cattle bawl and COW bells clank:
And into the town comes galloping
The farmers horse with steaming flank,
The swallow dips beneath the caves,
And irts his plumes and folds his wings,
And under the catawba leaves
The caterpillar curls and clings,
The bumblebee is petcd down,
The wet stem of the hollyhock;
And sullenly in spattered brown
The cricket leaps the garden walk.
within the baby claps his hands
And crows with rapture strange and vague;
Without, beneath the rosebush stands
A dripping rooster on one icg.
