NEED OF PRECAUTIONS.

The death of workman yesterday by
contac. with live wire at the Birming-
ham Traction Company's power house en-
phasizes the necessity of the most careful
precautions against danger in the use of
high power electric wires
The public danger illustrated in this
case seems somewhat minimiZed by the
fact that it occurred inside the power
house. where there is no exposure to which
people at large are liable. But it is a per-
missible inference that current of such
force inside the power house is to be con-
veyed by the company's wires over streets
where the breaking of the wires or con-
nection with loose wires of other lines
may be attended with most serious results.
Beyond that the fact that live wire SO
heavily charged was left exposed near
where workman was employed does not
indicate the caution in the use of high
power wires that is necessary to hold out
the promise of safety.
The great public service that is per-
formed by electric railways is an adequate
reply to the terrorist views of some Jour-
mails which make the dangers of high
power wires an argument against the
existence of the trolley system. But the
fact that such vital consequences may fol-
low upon any careleSsneSs or mischance
makes the most thorough precaution and
constant vigilance in the management of
electric railway wires an imperative ne
cesSity

4 QUESTION oF INTEREST.

The decision of The subcommittee of
citizens to be reported to the general meet
ing to-day, that Pittsburg has the ample
means to accommodate the National Re-
publican Convention, states the essential
fact of the case. All that now remains is
to see whether our people are enough alive
about the matter to send an earnest dele
CATION to Washington.
The question arises at once whether the
hundred representatives of the various in
terPstS of Pittsburg appointed by Mayor
Gourley can spare an hour Of their time
10 consideration of a proposal to advance
Pittsburg interests. The chances are more
than fair that if Pittsburg is in earnest it
can get the convention. IT is not merely
the convenience of PittSburg for the
greater number of delegates, or the senti-
mental considerations of special force in
respect to the Republican party, that will
weigh in the selection, but over and be-
yond that the knowledge that Pittsburg
though slow to move is equal to all it will
promise
There is no use wasting time upon the
arguments of those who don't think this
city can provide for the convention. 1t is
big enough, old enough and wealthy
enough to do what Cincinnati, ST.
Louis and Baltimore have done in the
past. If it does not know allabout the de-
tail work it can never learn earlier
The DISPATCH believes with its city
contemporaries that the bringing here of
fifty Thousand active, representative men
from all parts of the country would
beof great benefit to Pittsburg. 1t also
believes that it is duty, and of material
interest 30 every citizen to give some por-
tiOn of his time and some OF his energy for
whatever enhances the interests of the
town or worthily spreads its reputation
abroad. 1t believes that, whatever comes
of the movement, the citizens whom the
Mayor has invited TO meet should show
their concern in affairs of common
moment and their respect for the chief
civil authority of the city by putting in an
appearance at the meeting called for to-
DAY.

The call Of a convention of the Farmers
Alliance, or that part of it which is op-
posed TO the sub-treasury scheme, and the
other features Of the programme tending
toward socialism, is an indication of the
division i'm that order, which bids fair to
mark its dissolution.
OF course if the majority of the Alliance
is determined to stand by the platform Of
1.-The sub-treasury or nothing, there is no
other course for either side to take than
separation Of those who do not support
that idea. But the policy Of the council
at indianapolis in refusing the anti-sub-
treasury element hearing shows an in
disposition TO give full discussion hear
ing, which makes the split more justi-
fable 1t is 10 be remembered that the
Ocala platform, with all its vagaries, has
received no more than a partial ratifica-
ton from the body of the order. Under
these circumstances, the exclusion of all
opposition to it as heretical looks like
dragooning the membership TO degree
which must be most disastrous to those
attempting il.
The separation of the element in the
Alliance which does not believe in the
sub-treasurv notion is a fixed fact. 1t re-
mains 10 be seen which wing of the organ-
ization is most numerous. The probabil-
iiv is that with the subject fully discussed
the majority of the thinking farmers viii
be found on the side which rejects that
wild idea. In any case the division will

CRISP AND MILLS.

TWO MODES OF CONSTRUCTION

The decision of the Supreme Court of
the District of Columbia the other day
upon the civil service law against the So
licitation of campaign contributions in
Government offices, shows that the polit-
ical methods of construction do not obtain
in all the courts. The law enacts "That
no person shall in any room or building
occupied in the discharge of official duties
by any officer or empioye of the United
States mentioned in this act, or in any
navy ward, fort, arsenal, solicit in any
manner whatever or receive any contribu-
tion of money or any other thing of value
for any political purpose whatever - The
Court held that this section means what it
says; that it is constitutional act of the
legislative power; and that the defendant
who sent circular to all the clerks in the
departments from his State, was liable
under it.
This ruling is important not only for its
abridgement of their privilege of squeez-
ing the office-holders, but for its cruel dis
regard of the political rules of constituting
statutory and constitutional provisions.
The idea that if clause or section says
one tDllig III HedHS SoinebiuliS eISe, OT tfidb
if it does not, it is an unconstitutional re-
striction of the liberties of the pol
iticians, has already proved very
useful. But it was nowhere more
valuable to them, than in such
a case as this where it is relied upon to
save them from the penalties of fine and
Imprisonment for the venial offense OF
squeezing the department clerk. Yet it
hardly gets decent hearing from the
high court referred to, and-is thrown aside
with so little ceremony that it only re-
mains for the department to appeal to the

devotes itself will be on sale on Tuesday,
and on Wednesda there will be special lot

charities of Calvary's Church Sisterhood.
Cakes candy and cream will be put on sale.
and those drinking tea will be presented
with the cup from which they drank that
refreshing beverage. The principal names
OF the articles on sale begin with a c.;
probably because the first letter of the CAL
vary's and the f1rsJ of Christmas are also
"Cts."

ReuubIics Not Liked in London.

Brooklyn Standar,i-Union.]
The London Times has broken loose again
with the same old trouble in new spot. 1t
doesn't like republics. and never did. During
our late war-in fact, just at the breaking
ont thereof-it had the bad taste to allude to
the United States form of Government as 3
"burlesaue," because, forsooth, we had no
King with a golden crown, and no hereditary
legislators whose pedigree did service in
stead of brains. And now its supposed Rio
Janeiro correspondent is permitted to call
Brazil q harlequin republic" Very well; it
is harlequin, we believe, who always gets
the best Of the stupid pantaioon and clown,
and gets the fair Columbine. The kingdoms
and empires are the pantaloons and clown
of the pantomime, and the harlequin re-
publics" seems to get lots of fun out of them.
But, really, in view Of past results, the Times
ought to get up some other simile, not so
suggestive.

Literature and Journalism.

Chicago Daily News.l
Mrs. Elizabeth Stuart Phelps-Ward is re-
ported as entertaining small opinion OF
American journalism, but we have seen no
statement of the lady's reasons for holding
this opinion. Among literary people gener-
ally the disdain for the journalistic profes-
sion has abated wondrously during ten
years-perhaps for business reasons, per-
haps because these people have at last dis
covered that the newspaper is the best me-
dunn through which the writer can intro
duce himself and his work to the public.
Ten years ago very many authors af-
fected contempt for the news
paper; they rallied at and inveighed
against the cheap, unliterary methods
of journalism: the newspaper, they said,
was literatures arch enemy, and would
finally undo it unless the authors unite in
the determination to boycott the vulgar
monster. marvellous change has been
wrought within ten years; there is scarcely
an author of note in all the land who is not
now or has not been a contributor to the
daily press through the medium OF some
syndicate or another. The daily newspaper
at this time practically controls literature
in this country. The magazines have taken
fright and are making prodigious efforts to
keep pace with this new and mighty liter
ary vehicle. 1t is a fact, however, that the
daily newspaper accomplishes more grace
fully and more satisfactorily the work which
the magazine tries to do-this, too, in ad-
dition to its individual and exclusive duty
of providing the public with news.

Campbell Talks About 1892.

A New York reporter asked Governor
Campbell about the prevailing sentiment
among Ohio Democrats regarding the Presi-
dental nomination next year. 'I think, !"
said he, that a poll of the State would show
a majority of individual Democrats in favor
of Cleveland. Governor Hill Is very popu-
lar in Ohio, and has many warm friends
there. Governor Pattison has also many
supporters in our State. So has Mr..
German, Mr.. Gray, of Indiana. and
Governor Boies. of Iowa. There is a
great deal of talk of a serious character
among our people respecting the atti-
tude that New York will occupy in the next
Democratic National Convention. There is
feeling that New York should once, say in
every 30 years, graciously consent to the
nomination of some man from outside the
State. They think that New York has had
a monopoly of debating Democratic candi-
dates for President about long enough. This
feeling that New York has been too selfish
in claiming the honor of naming the Demo-
Gratis for President in the past is deep
seated throughout the West"
