RELIEF FROM STARVATION.

Mr.. Cyrus w. Field, Jr.. publishes an
appeal in New York for the United States
to do something to aid the famine stricken
districts of Russia. The duty of nation
which is celebrating its festival of plenty
and prosperity to give some thought to
the condition of people dying of want
and starvation is so large that it hardly
needs to be enlarged upon. But there are
some impressions, whether created by
false reports or not, which GO far toward
discouraging efforts for the relief of the
Russian sufferers One is that the relief
which gets into the hands of the Russian
bureaucracy is not likely to reach the suf-
fering peasants. The other is that offers
of organized relief contributions from
England have been rejected by the Cars
Observation-Disclosures from simple preju-
dice, or from the determination of I'M
scrupulous oficialism to keep all the relief
business in its own hands, is not stated
If these statements are truo it is useless
for America to give of its abundance for
the enrichment of Russian corruption.
If Mr.. Field can show that the American
contribution will be used for the relief Of
the Russian poor and starving, there can
be no better use for a portion of our over
flowing surplus than to devote it to the
rescue of part, at least, of the destitute
peasantry from the horrors OF starvation.

be desert Of PROSTATE buildings through
out the entire section. We believe it to
be true that the storm was more furi-
Gus in Washington than in ,PittSburg;
but there, as here, the result is that the
average building withstood the strain, and
only one building in each city was over
thrown. In the case in this city few
years ago, when the Wiley building was
overthrown, the fact that structures could
be erected to withstand the strain was
amply proved by the buildings of equal
size and height within few hundred
yards of that which was wrecked, that
stood the storm without tremor.
Certainly so far as the wind-storms re-
ferred to are concerned, the fact that
buildings can be erected to withstand
them, is amply demonstrated from the
TACT that for every building. blown down
hundreds stood the gale without difficulty.
In both cases in Pittsburg the destruction
OF the buildings was due to some weak
ness, temporary or structural, in the
wrecked buildings; and we very much
suspect that a critical inquiry would dis
cover similar weaknesses in the majority
OF cases of destruction by cyclones.
The high winds are very decided ar
gument in favor of strong and thoroughly
braced architecture If that lesson is
properly needed, we will probably hear
less of irresistible wind-storms in the
future

A LACKING PROPORTION.

Mr.. Frank j. Sprague, the electrician.
in recent article on the electric motor
and its work, published in the Foywm
makes claim for success in the electric
motor for street railways, which proves to
be rather strong meat for the electric COM
panies The assertion is that sstbe electric
motor has halved the expenses per car
mile" has effected even greater reduction
in the cost per ton mile," and has lessened
expenses in other respects by increasing
the number of miles travelled and the
traffic per car.
This is very glowing eulogy of the
results of the electric system; but one
sharp contemporary finds meaning in it
which is hardly gratifying to the street
railway corporations. The Buffalo Courier
points out that this is statement that the
cost of carrying passengers in horse cars
has been reduced more than half by the
change to electric motors. The horse car
business as whole was prosperous and
remunerative before that change; vet the
reduction of fares as result of the
change to electricity, far from being COM
menGurate with the reduction of cost has
been mainly conspicuous by its absence.
There is much point in this, although it
fails to allow for one fact. The deyelop-
ment of improved motor power for street
railways has in many cases exercised, the
function of changing improbable horse
railways into profitable electric or cable
ines. of the three cable lines of Pitts.

TIE CONVENTION INCONGRJITY.

The discussion of the defeat of the Con-
stitutiona. Convention project between
the York Gazette and the Philadelphia
Press stimulates the latter journaLin a
somewhat heated manner to make some
assertions on the subject which are more
truthful than pleasant. They are briefly
as follows: First, that the Baker ballot
bill as passed by the Legislature is un-
satisfactory and unfair, entailing all the
burdens of the Australian system without
its advantages, and practically disfran-
chising such minorities as the Prohibition
party. Second, that the Constitutional
Convention project contained so unusual,
unfair and unnatural provisions as to pre-
vent the people from voting for a con-
vention under it. Next, that the purpose
of embodyiEg these grotesque provisions
was to defeat the Constitutional Con-
ventiOn. Finally, that the issue of real
ballot reform will still be made an active
one at the next Legislative elections.
In these assertions, with the exception
of a single one, the position which The
DISPATCH took from the first is corrobor-
ated. That is, that ballot reform can be
secured through legislation, and was
within its proper province; that the Con-
stitutional Convention was unnecessary,
and in the form in which it was presented
contained the danger of a job in favor
of the corporations and politicians; and,
finally, that there was not the slightest
reason to expect from convention so
constituted any more sincere action on
1,o11 raf fhor, fho r Id,
which devised it. In one respect-the
motives which prompted these measures
the Gazette is mistaken. The Constitu-
tional Convention scheme was used to di-
vert the demand for genuine ballot re-
form, instead of both these measures
being framed to defeat the convention.
1t is remarkable example OF how sin
cere minds can be led to false conclusions,
that is presented by the fact that the ele-
ment, of which the York Gazette is the
organ, committed the error of accepting
the unusual, Unfair and unnatural con-
vention scheme and adopting that mis-
shapen ana illegtimate measure as its own
offspring. A color of consistency is given
to this course from the ia ct that the same
element gave the politicians of the Legis-
lature the pretext for this convention Jug
Gle by insisting upon the mistaken idea
that ballot reform cannot be secured with
out the amendment of the Constitution
Nevertheless, the most impressive aspect
OF its very forcible characterization of the
convention bill is that which gives the
best possible reason why all sincere men
should join in defeating that measure.
We are glad to learn from the Gazette
that the effort to obtain real ballot reform
will still be pushed in its proper place,
namely, the Legislature. After the late
experience we may hope that the Gazette
and its friends will not again be diverted
from their active campaign in behalf of
this reform by any such transparent Jug
gle as the convention scheme.

TWELVE PAGES
THE NATIONAL FEAST.

To-day is the annual festival which, by
the devout and appropriate custom of the
country brought down from the earliest
colonial times, is set aside as feast of
Thanksgiving The feast. which had its
origin i'll New England. has extended its
observance TO all parts of the country, un-
I'll to-day there are few places in the land
so remote from the sentiment which
makes Thanksgiving a national institu-
tion that it is not duly celebrated there.
The feast is peculiarly national one:
and as balance to that fact there are
many considerations why it is peculiarly
appropriate for this country to recognize
that it has especial reasons for gratitude.
Those reasons were never so strikingly
marked in the case of this nation as in the
present year. To every man who gives
any thought to the sentiment of the day
the most impressive fact is that the United
States, as whole, has been to an ex-
ceptional degree selected for the
favors OF peace, plenty and
prosperity. While other countries
in various quarters of the world have suf-
fered either from the fear of war to be
pIouuctu Wy lue utSiSnS VI lHlpeIldl poliCy,
or experienced the actual horrors of con-
f1ict from the outbreak of revolution or
the usurpations of military adventurers,
The United States has enjoyed the pro-
found assurance of peace and can only
complain of political vices which flourish
hv reason of the feeling of perfect security.
While other parts of the world are plagued
hy famine or harassed by scarcity, our
nation his had year of unexampied
plenty, and our prosperity is enhanced by
the extraordinary demand for foreign
countries for our surplus. In every as
pcc* the fact is impressed upon that the
gifts of Providence and the abundance of
nature have been exceptionally lavish TO-
ward this country.
. Under such circumstances it is an espe-
cial duty individually as well as collect
lively to celebrate our gratitude for these
extraordinary favors A nation so uni
versally prosperous and peaceful above
ali other nations cannot but make its
Thanksgiving national expression of its
sincere gratitude.

Entirely Too Conservative.
o the Editor of the Dispatch:

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
The failure of Pittsburg to secure the next
Republican Convention is more evidence of
conservative town, and also evidence that
we should have an active body, always ON
the alert for the interests of the city, or we
will find that Pittsburg, with all its advant-
ages for being foremost will pass into dry
rot. Some person said: "Pittsburg is slow
in getting a start, but when started she
goes" Yes, but she gets a start on too late,
and it would be more credit to her to not get
a start on than to come in out of breath ask
ing for favors that other cities have pre-
pared for and put up money for without
stint months ahead. 1t is not conservative
we are but too slow and selfish 1t requires
ready cash to push the city just the same as
it does to push a business. Now, then, with
no organized body to present these matters
properly before, you cannot get the proper
financial support, and those who put up
their money do so tardily and not near the
amount they would if more vim or push
were shown. Then if the enterprise was a
failure, as i'll the case of the Republican Con-
vention, they cannot be induced to put up
on another occasion. What we require is
that our leading business people organize,
and you will have the middle class and
workingman join in anything that will have
q tendency to push our city as it should be-
The P1ttsburg papers are all right and will
always do more than their share, but they
cannot do all. Let us get to the front or we
will in a short time be called slow town.
