THE GERMAN AGREEMENT.

Another striking result of the policy of
reciprocity which Secretary Blaine inau-
gurated less than year ago is presented
in the pending removal of the German du-
ties on grain from the United States in eX-
change for the free admission to the
United States of beet sugar.
No doubt the contemplated departure of
the German Government from its policy of
high duties on grain for the benefit of the
landed proprietors was aided by the i'm
pending scarcity of grain in Europe. But
it would nevertheless be great gain for
the agricultural classes of the United
States. 1t would remove a barrier of
80 10 cents per bushel between our pro-
ducers and the German consumers, who
alone would take liberal share of surplus
products. This decrease in the cost of ex-
change would be divided between the
American producer and the German con-
sumer; but whatever gain the latter Sc
cured would come as reflex gain to the
United States in the shape of increased
| consumption.
The addition to our supplies of sugar by
the continuance of German sugar on the
free list would be equally satisfactory.
| The policy of free sugar and reciprocity,
of which THE DISPATCH was an early ad-
vocate, will prove an unqualified success
if the pending negotiations with Germany
end on the basis outlined in late dis
patches

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PITTsBURG, TUESDAY, OCT. IS, ISL.
TWELVE PAGES
THE BOND SUBMISSION.

The reported opposition in Select Coun-
ellis to the ordinance for submitting the
question of bond issue to vote of the
people materialized only in the adverse
speech of one member and the adverse
votes of three The necessity and fair
ness of this course, pointed out by THE
DISPATCH when that certificate of
Indebtedness proposition was pending,
were so plain as to command the votes of
seven to one of that body
The opposition was based on the claim
that the issue of the bonds is unnecessary,
coupled with an assertion that contracts
have not been properly performed
which will be very interesting if substan-
tiated, but has no bearing on the bond
question-and the expression of a very
natural objection to having the city as
sumo the debt These objections were
fully answered by Mr. Lambie's speech.
The arguments on both sides bore on the
prOpriety of the bond issue, but, except as
TO the fact of certain payments coming
due within year, they hardly affected
the real question. That was as follows:
1t being certain that the city must provide
for share of these payments in the next
twelve months, shall the people have the
opportunity of saying whether they pre-
fer to be taxed for these payments in
single levy or to have bonds issued? On
the propriety of letting the people decide
whether they will pay this debt all at
once or extend il till the street question
can he clearly settled, there is but one
possible opinion and that is expressed by
the action of Councils.
The people will now have two months
to fully discuss and decide the method of
payment. There is a decided likelihood
that the bond issue will be approved but
whichever way the vote goes it will pre-
sent the satisfactory aspect of being the
mode of payment indorsed by the major
ity of the voters.

NATIONAL WATERWAYS.

| The appointment by the Governor of
a delegation of Western PennSylvanians
TO attend the waterway convention at
Evansville is attended by more tolerant
tone of comment concerning that gather
ing than usual of late years. 1t is signifi-
cant result of the discussion oninternal
waterways in which THE DISPATCH has
taken the lead that the Eastern press is
beginning to recognize and even approve
of the project when presented in the form
| of comprehensive and connected system
| of internal navigation.
This makes clear enough the direction
! in which the efforts of the convention
should tend. Heretofore the agitation of
the waterways question has suffered be-
cause of its Identification in the public
mind with that class of 'Sold-hag-and-an
appropriation patriotism which takes
concrete form in river and harbor items
for the improvement of horse ponds and
goose creeks. The public is beginning to
perceive the radical distinction between
such raids On the Treasury and the crea-
ton of waterways of really national i'm
portance. 1t should be the especial busi-
hess of the convention to emphasize that
distinction in the strongest possible man.
ner.
This can be done in the most effective
way by first disclaiming all sympathy with
the political method of using the river and
harbor appropriations as a plum to be
divided up. In its place should be pre-
sented the fact that a union of the inter-
ests which favor the improvement of the
main rivers and their connection with the
lakes by the Hennepin and Ohio river and
Lake Erie canals, with the addition of
ship canal connection with the seaboard,
constitutes an homogeneous system of in
ternal waterways which would be of in
calculable benefit to commerce This
country has within eighteen years spent
So, 5000 of actual capital and twice as
much on paper in extending its railway
system. Twenty per cent of that sum
would bring into existence a system of
waterways OF greater value in moving the
great staples of agriculture and manufact-
ures than the entire railway system.
The waterways convention should aim
at the union of the river interests with the
lake interests and those backing the ship
canal projects, and present their projects
as single enterprise for complete sys-
TEN of internal waterways. This will be
a national project and will unite the sup
port of the people from the Alleghenies to
the Rocky Mountains and from New
Orleans to Duluth.

REAL RAPID TRANSIT.

The discussion of the rapid transit
problem in New York has crystallized in a
report by the Rapid Transit Commission
which indicates what shape the coming
means of municipal transit may take.
1t is instructive to cities whose transit
routes and needs have not yet progressed
beyond the stage of electric and cable sur
face roads to learn that there is practical
agreement that the underground electric
road is the thorough solution of the
problem. The elevated railway is now
recognized in New York to be an incom-
plete and unsatisfactory method, destined
to wear out in time and involving posi-
bilitieS of the gravest character. An un-
derground road is agreed upon as the most
permanent, adequate and satisfactory way
of enabling transit to be furnished at high
speed away from the surface of the streets
There is still warm debate as to the kind
of underground road to be adopted
whether of the Greathead class or the
Older variety; but the underground in one
shape or other is settled matter
Therei is more than an abstract interest in
this decision to Pittsburg. When our needs
GO beyond the facilities of the cable and
electric roads the experience of New York
will show us what to aim at 1t is peril
nent, too, that when-aS may be the case
before many years-we shall need greater
speed and capacity than the present lines
can afford, tunnel from Grant street to
the vicinity of Ben Venue, and sunken
road the rest of the way to Williamsburg,
Braddock or Wilmerding, will afford ad-
vantages of directness and speed that can
be obtained by no other style of transit.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Some time ago 1 noticed in THE DISPATCH
communication from lady calling the atten-
tion of Miss O'Reilly to the condition of the
houses of the workingmen. The views of
this lady were correct in the main. There
is nothing needed so much in Pittsburg, and
for that matter, in all the large cities of the
United Safes, as better tenemeuts for ne
poorer classes. As a general rule the tene-
ments which can be rented by the working
man are ricketty, broken down buildings,
which are harly fit for any purpose. They
should be torn down and replaced by struct-
ures in which better sanitary arrangements
exist. Of what use is it to build sewers, and
to keep the streets clean, if people are forced
to live in novels, i'll whose very walls the
germs of disease have existed for years?
have seen in Pittsburg and in New York
state of affairs which would not be permit
ted to exist in England or in France. Those
who are interested in this matter can prove
TO their own satisfaction that people are al
lowed to live here in manner that should
be stopped at once. These districts are not
very far from the heart of the city either,
and it is plainly evident that these novels
should be replaced by new buildings at
once. There is II better opportunity for
missionary work i'll this line than there is in
Africa and Asia, where many thousands of
dollars arc spent each year. 1t is in the Old
World that the greatest progress has been
time that the property owners of the United
States should follow the good example set
across the water. HEALTH.

The Need of Wider Streets.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
One of the greatest mistakes of the age is
made i'll the laying out OF streets in cities
and towns. They arc generally too narrow
to accommodate travel when the districts
adjacent have been thickly settled Exam
PIES of this are seen in every large city, and
in Pittsburg as well as Chicago or Boston.
The mistake was made in the past, long be-
fore it was supposed that part of the streets
would be occupied by street cars, but to-day
sections are being opened in the suburbs,
and the mistakes are in process of repeti-
ton. 1t is only reasonable to expect that
Pittsbnrg will keep growing, and that
some day streetsthat are now being put in
use for the first time will be crowded with
traffic. The street cars will extend their
tracks and then there will be as much COM
plant over these new streets as there is to-
day over the present narrow thOroughfares.
Would it not be well, while land is compare
lively cheap, for those who are subdividing
lands to look into the future? Streets in
tended for business should certainly be
wider than they are, and he is wise man
who provides plenty of room for traffic of
all kinds in the subdivision he is preparing
Tor the market. TANDEM.

any sections should adopt that policy the
outlay would be amply repaid by the in
creased facilities of communication, the
saving in horse power and wear of vehi-

clear understanding is that, with intelli-

4 QUESTION FOR FARMERS,

Now that the season is approaching
when the agricultural districts will find
their communication with the markets
sporadically cut off by the impassability of
the country roads, it will be profitable for
them TO ask themselves how much gain
there is for them in the opposition to i'm
proved country roads on the ground that
it involves largely increased expenditure.
One of the greatest obstacles to road i'm
Frovement consists of the stubborn idea
Of the agricultural classes that it costs
more to have good roads than poor ones
This is a most curious error. 1t is the case
on the other hand that the money spent
in patching the roads each summer in a
way which causes them to return to their
regular bottomless condition each winter
would, if applied scientifically for a series
Of years, supply the country districts with
durable highways ON which their products
could be hauled to market at all seasons.
True, this consumma ton could be
hastened by increased expenditures If

BALTmOREs NEW EXPERIENCE.

The Blue laws which remain upon the
statute books of Maryland like as in Penn
sylvania are now being partially enforced
at Baltimore, much to the surprise, it is
announced, of those who have been ac-
customed to getting their ice cream, meat,
milk and ice on Sunday, same as any other
day. The programme of enforcement at
Baltimore is more rigid than cOmprehen-
sive. Dealers there are held to be ex-
Guided from serving on Sunday even where
orders are given and paid for on Saturday
On the other hand, neither the street cars,
the railroad trains, the telegraph messen-
gers nor the newspapers are interfered
with. The extent of the restriction at
Baltimore is therefore practically about
the same as that which has been applied
in Pittsburg.
Upon the heels of the activity at Balti-
more comes an intimation that the sup
pOrters Of the ancient statutes in this State
intend soon to 60 farther and make the ap-
phcatiOn of the statutes complete, includ-
ing trains, street cars, mills and every
other form of effort which they conceive
to be in conflict with the letter of the law
It Is their privilege to test the application
of the enactment to the fullest, but it does
not take much discernment to perceive
that if in bringing such suits no regard be
had to the reasonable changes of conditions
in the last hundred years, either the
courts will be looked to for a wider in
depreciation of works of necessity, or else
questions will inevitably arise for further
legislative settlement. At present the
concession is freely made that Pittsburg is
the most orderly city Oh the continent in
respect to Sunday observance.

IT is interesting to learn from a press
anecdote that an American who called upon
Tennyson was corrected by the poet for his
use of lawfully" declared to be an "Amer-
icanism" which was as Objectionable to the
Laureate as the slang use OF the adjective
''bloody." 1t happens that the slang use
of both these words is of cockney deriva-
tion. Nevertheless tits satisfactory to learn
that the American citizen who had adopted
either specimen of English slovenliness, was
properly crushed by the Laureate. We can
forgive the latter his iuaccuracy with regard
to the origin of the terms, in view of the
pertinence OF his reproof.

Chicago Inter-Ucean.I
Arizona will soon knock again for admis-
sion into the sisterhood of States. The mast
year has been one of great prosperity in the
Territory. Her acting Governor, in his an
nual report TO the Secretary of the Interior.
expresses the opinion that the Territory
will have 20 900 population before the end of
the present fiscal year. The increase has
been enormous, and in the past year 20 per
cent has been added. Rich in gold, silver
copper, with valuable deposits of onyx Just
discovered, with vast range of forests Ari-
zona can bring forward many strong argu-
ments in favor of her Statehood. She has
lay-abiding population, who deserve the
best encouragement from the nation. Her
rich soil only needs water, which is now
being utilized, to make what has been known
as her "deserts," blossom as the rose.
