Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1891-12-18

The attitude of the Russian Government
toward the charitably disposed world
without is peculiar. There are said to be
twenty and perhaps thirty millions of peo-
pie in Russia actually suffering for lack of
food, and thousands are dying of hunger.
The bureaucratic engine of government
in Russia is making some show of helping
the famine-stricken serfs, but the ponder
Gus and rickety machine is unequal to the
task. People in other countries, including
the United States, have taken pity
upon Russia in her extremity, and offers
of aid have been made, and funds have
been subscribed in many places. In Min
nesota, for instance, in response to the
Governors proclamation calling upon the
people to give -four, wheat, rye or other
breadstuffs for Russia's relief, already
large part of ship-load of provisions has
been contributed. England and other
countries have raised funds for the same
purpose. In reference to the Minnesotan
offer the Russian charge d'affaires at
Washington is on record as accepting it in
the Russian Governments name.
Now comes the surprising news that the
Moscow Gazette has denounced the accent
ance of foreign aid for the distressed peo-
pie of Russia. If the Gazette were pub
lished in any country but Russia, the de-
nunciation might be taken as a mere piece
of Journalistic idiocy, but Russian news
papers may only talk upon such subject
as this under governmental inspiration and
supervision. Therefore, Russia is in the
singular and shameful position of denying
to her starving people the help which
charitable foreigners alone are able and
willing to give.

a NEW COMMANDMENT.

1t was not to be expected that woman,
and one who is known by her fearless ad-
vocacy of woman's rights, should have
dealt the so-called ''dress reform" move
ment death-blow. Miss Kate Field ad-
ministered such a blow the other day
when she said to body of women in Chi
cage, who were discussing the personal
petitioning of Congress on some awful
question: whatever you do when you
go to Washington, don't 60 in dress reform
gowns! When you have got anything to
do before men you had better wear French
gowns!'
The worst of it is for the strong minded
females who would have their pretty
sisters disguise themselves in meal-bags,
Turkish trousers, or anything that will
oreak womenkind down to dead level of
homeliness, is that every woman who
reads Kate Fields dictum will feel in her
heart that it is true. And as there are
precious few affairs in this world i'm which
women are interested which are not done
before men it is apt to become new and
popular addition to the Decalogue.

THE UNITED TRACTION LINES.

What the public had been taught to look
for during long while past has been cere.
moniously done-the Duquesne is united
with the Pittsburg Traction linz.
1t is of no Importance whether this is
called consolidation, leasing or a traffic
arrangement There is an admitted pooi-
ing Of issues as well as of receipts, and an
arbitrary division of the net profits.
What concerns the public now is to see
that this arrangement inure to the COM
fort Of patrons and the benefit of the city
treasury, in place of being wholly for the
good of the lines. The companies being
now under one management, can run to
the most economical advantage. They
should, therefore, be expected to provide
seats for every fare paid, and to stand a
fair tax upon their cars for the benefit of
the city which granted them enormously
valuable franchises.
One of the first steps of the new man.
agement should be to hang out placard,
bearing the legend "Full," upon every car
when the last seat is taken
The companies have finished their ar
rangement for mutual benefit Now let
the public begin to agitate for such con-
cessions in respect to comfort as they are
fairly entitled to demand.

RECIPROCITY WORKING WELL.

The conclusion of a reciprocity treaty
with the British West Indies is important
in Itself, for the trade between them and
the United States amounted during the
past year to about thirty million dollars,
of which one-third were exports from this
country. The indirect results OF the
treaty will not be less important.
Hitherto the tariff of the West Indies IA
vored Canada at the United States ex-
pense, in regard to agricultural products.
Now in return for the free entry of sugar
and coffee grown in the British West
Indies into our ports these English col
onies have agreed to enlarge their free
lists and reduce the duties on the leading
agricultural and other products Of the
United States to large extent. This
means that our farmers and manufacturers
will be able to compete with the Canadians
for the West Indian market, and it is good
news for Americans generally.
Canadians can't be expected to view the
treaty with equanimity. They will not
see their monopoly of the West Indian
market smashed for our benefit with COM
placency. When they think it over the
beauty of sticking to selfish mother
country will not be so apparent Refec-
ton may lead the Canadians to banker
after little of the same reciprocity with
their big neighbor. Perhaps in this way
the commercial union, if no closer one,
will come between this country and
Canada.

LIBERIA NOT PARADISE.

UnaduIterated liberty, even in conjunc-
tion with diet of snakes and roots, is not
enough to live on comfortably. Some of
the negroes who have gone to Liberia have
found this out The story of their expert
ences, published in The DISPATCH yester-
day, does not show up Liberia in very
attractive colors. The republic on the
west coast of Africa, where the colored
brother was to develop his destiny unhin-
dered by the Caucasian, has not as yet
produced any remarkable results The
colonists who have stayed there, without
the Intervention of the undertaken, and
prospered, are not so numerous as those
who have returned with more experience
than money for ther pains. The natives
appear to get along well enough in Libe-
ria, but for the negro born and brought up
in America it is not at all clear that it is
the promised land. The party of disap-
pointed colonists who returned the other
day learned that the drawbacks of life in
Florida for the colored race were trifes
compared to the positive hardships in the
Liberian Republic.

EIKIS,S AS SECRETARY OF WAR

Though there are some outstanding ac-
counts to settle with foreign nations, such
as the Chile difficulty, the Italian claims
for the New Orleans lvnching, and the
seal question in Bering Sea, none of them
is sufficiently serious to give special sig
nifcance to the nomination of Stephen B.
Elkins as Secretary of War, yesterday sent
to tie Senate
MT. Elkins is man of affairs. Of that
there is no doubt. His capable and en-
terrrising management of his own fortune
indicates abundantly that he is equal to
the administration of the War Office OF
course nobody expects the Secretary of
War to have technical knowledge of the
art of arms, any more than we look for a
master mariner in the person who fills the
Secretarysh;p of the Navy. What is
needed is firstrate executive talent, and
Eikins is greatly gifted in such regard.
But, in view of late rumors the appoint
ment of Elkins hasa pronounced political
significance. 1t comes like an aStoniSh-
ingly quick verification of the story started
by Elliott F. Shepard the other day, that
Blaine and the President had arrived at
eil "IltlCUN iol
Elllins' appointment Blaine at convent
ent opportunity would permanently de-
cline further mention for the Presidency,
leaving Harrison F'walk-over" At any
rate Colonel Shepard was the first man in
the country to mention the likelihood of
Elkins' appointment. He coupled his
prophecy with the assertion above noted
as to the deal with Blaine. Usually the
Colonel's inspiration is of the foolish ard
extravagant sort, but in this instance he
has so far hit the bulls eye
1t is indeed beginning to look as though
the President and Blaine may have ar
rived at an agreement Senator Quay and
other antagonists Of the administration
declare this is not so; but THE DISPATCH
is compelled to note this morning what
looks like affirmative evidence, even when
in common with the general public it
would prefer to believe otherwise.

RAPID TR 4 NSIT,s COST

Rapid transit as it now exists in Pitts
burg and Allegheny is creation of the
last two years; the network of electric and
cable lines which knits the most remote
sections of the community into close union
is new thing, and we can hardly realize
as yet how great and various are the ad-
vantages to be reaped from it. There can
be no doubt whatever that its benefits out
weigh many times the disadvantages and
dangers which it entails upon city life.
Yet the Coroner's report of the loss
of life caused by street cars during
the past year is apt to give citizens a
nervous shock. As may be seen in detail
in another column, no less than twenty
persons were killed on the street RAILWAYS
of the two cities during the eleven months
ending December 1. This looks like a
very large number, and it is in truth more
than the cost of rapid transit should be,
but compared with last years record it
happily shows a falling off, when all the
conditions are considered.
Rapid transit as it is now understood has
been in partial operation since 1889, and in
that year five persons were killed by street
cars. As the horse disappeared before the
cable and electricity the danger to life in
creased, and in 1890 seventeen persons lost

THE GRIP MORE EASILY HANDLED.

The grip is one of the unwelcome gifts
of the season. 1t has not yet reached the
proportions of ali epidemic here, but, judg-
ing by the experience of the last two win
ters, the changeable weather, ranging from
unreasonable warmth to excessive cold
within twenty-four hours, is calculated to
promote the spread of the disease. The
grip broke out in this country Just about
two years ago, when December was
masquerading as April, and it reached its
most dire ascendancy in Pittsburg at the
close Of last winter. The physicians have
learned good deal about the disease, and
the public, too, appreciate now the neces-
Sity of guarding themselves against its at
tacks. The grip is not likely to have it all
its own way this season, for doctors and
laymen alike know measurably how to
mitigate its effects, if not to ward it off or
cure it at once.
Though reams of paper have been
spoiled in the attempt to define the grip,
to trace its origin and describe the condi-
tions under which it travels and grows.
there remains still wide divergence of
opinion among medical experts on all
these points. 1t is toferably certain that
the worldwide epidemic of 1sS9-91 started
in the swampy districts about Bokhara in
Asia, after an unusually wet spring, and
came West with the traders into Russia,
ana thence was carried over Europe and
later to America Its infectious character
is accepted by the highest authorities, and
its wide propagation is thus accounted for.
But very learned men disagree radically
as to the conditions under which the mi
cro5es of the grip most readily invade
the human system. One theory is that
long sustained periods of wet and warm
weather in winter are propitious to the
pestilent microbes, and the character of
the weather in which the grip has ragged
most virulently seems to confirm this be-
lief. In France the observations of N.
Tissandier, and in Germany those of DR..
Assmann, lead them 10 conclude that the !
prevalence of dry, rainless and snowless
weather is especially favorable to the |
spread of the grip.
Dry weather and wet weather, warm |
spells and cold waves are all blamed for |
giving the grip comfort and encouragement. !
What weather we ought to pray for is not |
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1891-12-18

altogether clear. 1t does seem plausible,
however, that the open and mild winters
during which the grip has flourished are
congenial to the disease if not productive
of it, and probably it would be blessing
in most respects if the cold weather which
we have now were to stay steadily with
us for month or two. Whatever weather
Providence vouchsafes, the grip may still
be fought successfully and even warded
off entirely by reasonable care of health
and obedience to the advice of good ply
SicianS.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1891-12-18

their lives in this way. The enlargement
of the new system has proceeded very
rapidly since then. and the Transformation
of the Pittsburg, Allegheny and Manches-
ter is in itself an immense factor. In COM
pairing this years record of mortality with
last, the increase in the number of miles
operated must be remembered, and
then it will appear that already
the deadliness of the street car
under the new conditions is being
checked. 1t will also serve the purpose of
bringing the number of sacrifices to street
cars into proper proportion to note that
the steam railroads in this county during
the last II months have killed 21O people.
There is still room for great improve
ment, of course. Coroner Mcdowell has
succeeded already in inducing the street
car companies to protect pedestrians and
passengers in various important ways.
Councils has also contributed to the pub
lies protection by legislation calling for
watchmen at crossings, etc. More chill
dren than grown-up people are killed, as
might be expected; and the remedy in this
regard lies more with the parents than
street car corporations or public officials.
1t is to be hoped that the cost in human
life of rapid transit will be reduced con-
as people become trained to be-
ware of the new perils in the streets.
