LABOR IN ENGLISH POLITICS.

The English laborer is rising in political
importance. Recent utterances of both
Tories ard Liberals show decided dis
position to take the course which will
concillate him, and betrays, an estimate
that he may hold the balance of power
The Tory idea, displayed more openly
at the conference than in Lord Salisbury's
speeches, is to the effect that by substitut-
ing the demands of English labor for those
OF Irishmen the Irish question can be put
out of sight. To this Mr.. Gladstone, in
speech at a Liberal banquet, interposed
the skillful rejoinder that the Irish and
labor questions go hand in hand; that the
cause OF the English and Irish agricul-
turaI laborers are identical, and that the
Liberal party will adopt the Tory meas
ures for the relief of the latter so far as
they 60, and then go further with land
purchase, land reform, the abolition of en-
tail, and other measures Gale ulated to take
the Tory breath away.
This outspoken adoption of reforms
which generation ago would have been
ranked in England as utterly revolution
airy is striking sign of the way things
are tending there. Its most immediate
significance, however, is that the Liberals
do not intend to let the Tories outbid
them with the labor element, especially
the agricultural laborers.

A THEORY OF NULLIFIC.rIoN.

The City Attorney is quoted as having
mainland to committee of the Ladies'
Protective Association, which called on
him with reference 70 enforcing the ordi-
nance requiring railways to use non-srnoke-
producing coal within the city limits, that
it is at the option Of city officials not
to enforce municipal ordinances if they
see fit. IL this is an erroneous statement
of the City Attorneys remarks, he should
make haste to correct, as more perni-
cious doctrine could not be enunciated
The idea that the executive branch of
the Government is possessed of the dis
pensing power was held under the Stuarts;
but even then it was not proposed to
lodge it with anything lower than royalty.
1t was abolished over two centuries ago
with the Stuart regime, and its revival in
this Republic would be little less than
monstrosity. To suppose that the officers
of the city have the power to nullify or
ignore its legislation, is throwing the door
wide open to favoritism, and renders such
thing as faithful and impartial enforce
ment of the ordinances hopeless dream.
There should certainly be very practi-
cal demonstration of the principle that
when the legislative power of the city has
been properly exerted its officers have no
choice left but to enforce the ordinances.
The taxpayers do not pay their salaries for
the purpose of reducing city legislation to
a dead letter. That end could be effected
much more economically.

THE LAWS LOOSE CLUTCH.

If the day is past when murderers can
escape from our fine granite Jail, the time
when burglars in the custody of the
Sheriff and in the presence of the Court
can make their way to parts unknown is
not so far distant. That was the feat
performed yesterday by an exceptional
burglar awaiting trial in Criminal Court.
The ease with which this escape was eff
fected is strictly in line with Fitzsimmons'
exploit, and argues hardly slighter de-
gree of official negligence or stupidity.
1t discloses the fact that dangerous GRIM
inals are brought into court and left there
with no one to watch them, or at least no
one who actually performs the duty.
There is no evidence of official collision
in this case; but it certainly indicates that
the importance of keeping hold of crimi-
mails when they are once captured has not
impressed itself as serious matter on
the minds of law officers.
When criminals can slip through the
meshes as easily as Manley and Fitzsim-
mons it ceased to be matter of wonder
that the daily papers contain reports of
highway robberies and burgiaries at the
rate of half dozen per diem.

LOTTERY WINNING IN LOUISIANA,
Nearly Complete Returns Show 1t Has
Majority of 20 or More.

Majority of 20 OF More.
NEW ORLEANS. Dec. n.-[SpeciaL Every
parish save one, West Baton Rouge, has
elected delegates to the Democratic State
Convention. A great many contradictory
claims have been made of the result of the
election on the lottery question and some
confusion created in consequence. A care
full and dispassionate review of the situa-
tion shows that the faction favorable to the
lottery has elected a maj ajority of the dele
gates and will control the convention. The
convention consists of CSC members, 344 be-
ing required for majority. On the govern
orship question the delegates stand. on
prima facie claim: McEnery, 81; Adams
(anti-lottery), 273. OF these, however, e5 of
the McEnery and 40 of the Adams delegates
are contested, leaving the uncontested dele
gates: McEnery S06: Adams, 233. There are
33 delegates so mixed up that it is impossi-
BILE to say who are the reg ular delegates and
who are the contestants, and nine are yet to
be elected who will go to McEnery.
The lottery is q votes weaker than Nc
Emery, SO that on this question the conven-
tion will stand: Anti-lottery, 200; pro-lot-
terv, 313, without taking any of the doubtful
parishes into consideration. The Truth, one
of the anti papers, admits to-day that Nc
Emery has majority Of the convention, but
hopes that the lottery can be beaten. The
NeU Deltd the chief anti-lottery paper, de-
clares that even if the lottery controls the
convention the antis will not give in, but
anti leaders held conference last night to
consider the situation, this declaration is
regarded as indica ting split or division in
the party on this issue.

THE POLITICAL PHASE DENIED.

When the intimation was openly made
that the move upon Collector Warmcastle
was the result of antagonism on the part
of Congressman Dalzell and the adminis-
tration, growing out of politics, THE Dis
PATCH stated its conviction that if they
were true no politics could have been
worse. 1t gave both the administration
and the Congressman credit for more
shrewdnesS.
Lack of official information, however,
gave temporary plausibility to these in
situations of factional motives; but later
advices seem to show that the causes arose
solely from the management of the Col
lector's Office.
Believers in fair politics, as well as
friends of Congressman Dalzell, will be
glad to learn of the assurances now con-
veyed that there was no ''pernicious" or
vindictive activity in the matter; and that
the Government action in the case was
based solely upon its merits. Meanwhile.
there have been SO many conflicting and
confusing rumors that, in justice to all,
the official report should be forthcoming.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1891-12-12

news, especially with regard to cases be-
fore the courts, is apt to be restricted, and
might be condensed into Talleyrand's
famous bon mot, in reply to the man who
pleaded that he must live, viz: II do not
see the necessity" But while newspapers
which conducted themselves strictly on
the judicial theory of their functions
would have to reconcile themselves to the
necessity of expiring, Judge Acheson
in this case shows an extraordinary effort
on the part of some of the press to prejudice
the case. Reference to the headlines and
the matter published show that the case
was represented as ga twenty-million raid
on the Treasury" prosecuted "by sharp
attorneys who prosecute claims on contin-
gent fees" Beyond this there is strong
indication that Government agents made
use of the press to put the case IN this
light.
Such publications were not in good taste
concerning undecided and very doubtful
litigation. They were not even good news
paper policy. Newspapers, as mouth
pieces of the public, are interested in Sc
curing a fair and unprejudiced trial, es
pecially where the point at issue is so
doubtful as this case. In view of the ap-
parent attempt to decide the case in our
Quaker City cotemporaries the courts
have done we'll in calling them down. 1t
is to be hoped that they will be little
more discreet during the second trial.

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PrTrsBURG. SATURDAY. DEC. 70, 1891.
TWELVE PAGES
SPRINGER SOUNDS THE RETIRE. AT.

Whether Mr.. Springer will or not be the
new Chairman OF the Ways and Means
Committee, his interview on the tariff
pGblished in yesterdays DISPATCH is full
Of instructive significance and runs in
most interesting way upon the lines of
thought suggested in these columns as
timely and beneficial for the Democratic
leaders.
Mr.. Springer's interview substantially
announces nothing less than a virtual
abandonment of the policy which led his
party to disaster in the Presidential can
vas of 1888, and again in the Ohio canvas
last fall He casts overheard entirely not
merely the free trade declarations of
Mills but similarly throws TO the winds
the less pronounced teachings Of Cleve-
land and those other doctrinaires who,
while not willing to be designated out
and-out free traders, committed them
selves 10 the position that if there was to
he a tariff at all it should be tariff
framed upon the necessities for revenue
only.
Now let us see what Mr.. Springer says
on the subject. After proposing an in
vestigating committee consisting of Dem
ocrats and Republicans he would send
them TO inquire into "teXtile industries,
iron production, glassware, pottery and so
on Their inquiries should be conducted
with view tc ascertain in each case what
if any degree of protection is needed. 1t
should be ascertained what labor costs on
things produced; the wages paid;
whether the work be steady or not the
re ative cost of production here and
abroad; and much mere information Of
practical character" In other words. Mr..
Springer would recognize that tariff is
not to be for revenue only" but that the
protection of home industries must be the
vital consideration. This is certainly
a long step in recognizing protec-
ton as the first thing needed. Ii is
a wide and distinct departure from
the doctrine that our markets should be
thrown open tC the manufacturers of the
world. and that the only question would
be. where consumers might buy cheapest,
or how much money is needed for Govern
ment expenses.
Another evidence that the Democratic
leaders have learned something is that
they no longer propose to attempt repeal
Of the Mckinley bill in its entirety. They
will content themselves with special bills
modifying this or that obnoxious duty
Believing protection to be vital to Ameri-
can interest, THE DISPATCH assuredly
thinks the conversion of Springer and his
followers better late than never 1t
wishes them better success in the new
educational campaign" which they pro-
pose for themselves, by sending around
among manufacturers and workingmen to
learn the facts. than they had in that other
unfortunate educational campaign of
instructing the people in the beauties of

A BRAVE GIRL ON A BICYCLE
Gives a Fire Alarm That Was Successful
in Preserving Landmark

Gives a Fire Alarm That Was Successful
in Preserving Landmark
WEsTBoRo, MASS, Dec. I1.-[SpeciuLJ J.
About midnight last night bareheaded and
breathless girl rode into town on bicycle
and gave an alarm of fire. The old Captain
Maynard mansion was in flames, and the
plucky girl who had bravely ridden in the
night to give an alarm was Miss Mable G.
Stone, daughter of Mr.. B. j. Stone, the pres
ent owner of the property. Miss Stone, who
is an athletic young lady about 20 years Of
age, says that she was awakened by the
cracking of flames Hastily donning her
garments she rushed out and found the
house ablaze.
Seeing that the building was doomed, she
says her first thought was to get to town and
give an alarm to try ana save the large barn
$50 feet long and full of cattle She mounted
her bicycle, and, as she declares, never
made such fast time to town before in her
life. She is pleased to think that she was
successful, as the fire department reported
just in time to save the barn and outbuild-
ings. The Captain Stephen Maynard place
was one of the Oldest historical landmarks
in this vicinity, and was built previous to
1853 by Mr.. Maynard, a wealthy man, who, it
is said, spent seven years in selecting the
timber and building his home.
