theory if farmers were not already fully
aware of the necessities which force them
to market their products. Another theory
starts from the assumption that the
Alliance leaders are not rich enough to
stand the expense of sending out the cir
culars, but that the money is furnished by
such bull spectators as the eminent Mr..
Pillsbury, who recently predicted that
wheat will rule at So per bushel before the
year is ended. But as it is clear that the
circular will produce few actual results, it
lis plain that the speculator who puts up
the money is in a fair way to lose his
margin.
The probability is, that while some
speculator may have been foolish enough
to help the scheme, those in 1t are simply
trying to gain reputation. The statistical
position indicates higher prices for wheat
before the crop year is ended. The per-
sons who send out this circular may, when
the advance takes place, claim great
credit with the farmers. And even a
short reputation for infallibility may be
worth the few thousand dollars the circu-
lar business will cost

THE WHEAT CIRCULAR.

The proposal that farmers shall refuse
TO market their wheat-carried out, as it
IS reported to be, by the mailing of a
million circulars-still occupies good deal
of attention. An additional report says
the advice is being taken, which is like a
good many other stories about the i'm
purtant granger. Considering that the
spring wheat crop is not yet harvested,
and that the first consignments of winter
wheat are just reported, the. story is evi-
IDENTIFY a work of Imagination. Its in
yeEtion is made the more palpable by the
commercial fact that the movement of
wheat to and from Chicago is much larger
now than year ago.
Aside FROM this Western papers are en-
gagged in producing theories concerning
the purpose of the people who are sending
out these circulars. One is that gratutous
advisers of the farmers have no expecta-
ton that any considerable number will re-
fuse to market their wheat; but wish to
bring the farmers to realizing sense of
their inability to do what is proposed, and
thus sOlidify the support of the suh-Treas-
uTy scheme. This might be very good

ENGLAND MUST PAY.

Vaughn, of Omaha, the philanthropist
with the stupendous proposition that for
mer slaves in the South must be paid
S4OO, 900, 900 for their labor while they were
held in bondage, must be credited with a
merciful intention to spare this
nation the assessment of the en-
tire sum. Great Britain has got to pay
her proportionate share for the first hun
dred years of slave labor in this country.
And as all the slaves of the colonial era
have long since been released from labor
by death, Vaughn will divide the sum
among their heirs and assigns, and will,
we presume, kindly undertake the custody
of the money until the heirs of those un-
known appear and prove claims.
This greatly smooths the way for the
United States to declare itself. AS Mr.
Vaughn has written letter to Queen
Victoria on the subject, we can safely
adopt the position that when the thrifty
Queen sends the Omaha champion of the
slaves a draft on her private exchequer
for the millions he demands from Eng
land, we will then see about issuing the
hundreds of millions of bonds to pay the
share of the United States. This will meet
the exigency of Vaughn's imperative de-
mand, and terminate his present success
in securing free advertisement.
In the meantime we should not advise
our colored friends to make any change in
their commendable method of hustling for
a living just as the white people do.

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
THE EMPTY BOILER THEORY.

The explosion of boiler yesterday and
the burning down of two or three factories
in Millvale produces the usual dispute
about the cause The boiler was new,
and consequently people leap to the con-
clusion that itwas permitted to get empty,
and. water being turned on, the explosion
resulted But the owner protests, in an
sycr to the blame for letting the boiler get
empty, that it was full at the time of the,
explosion.
The idea that explosions result only
from empty boilers is old and survives in
persistent defiance of demonstrations that
It is unfounded. The experiment at the
NIunhall Farm a good many years ago
showed that explosions could result FROM
boilers full OF superheated water by the
sudden decrease OF pressure. The theory
was advanced at that time that water
could be turnedmto an empty yred-hot boiler,
and one of the supporters of the super
heated water theory offered to sit on the
boiler while it was done. This bold test
was not made at the time, but its equiva-
lent has recently been made in the East.
There water was turned into an empty
and heated boiler several times without an
explosion. It has therefore been proved
that the theory of explosions from empty
boilers has little foundation
The time has come TO recognize that
boiler explosions are as likely to occur, if
not more so, from the presence of too
much superheated water as from too LITTLE
II the Millyale explosion is intelligently
Investigated it is likely to prove to be of
that class.

PATTISON PLANS A JAUNT.
He Wants to Take His Soldiers TO the
Chicago Fair.

Philadelphia Record.l
The $500 members of the Pennsylvania
National Guard will go to the Worlds Fair
in 1898 without any expense to themselves if
Governor Pattison can carry out his plan
for having the State we'll represented at
that show General Miles, of the regular
army, whose headquarters are at Chicago,
wants to have an encampment of at least
600 soldiers during the fair, and Pennsyl-
vania will cut very conspicuous figure in
this if the entire guard can take part in it.
From present Appearances there will be no
great trouble in arranging for the guard
spending at least week in Chicago in 1898.
The expense will not be great. The Legisla-
ture has appropriated $500 900 for the proper
representation of the State at the fair, and
ont of this moderate sum could be set
apart for the expenses of the guard on their
trip. Then the managers of the Worlds
Fair have decided to spend $50, 900 or 500, GOO
on a military display during the fair, and of
this a portion would go to the visiting
troops. If the Pennsylvania Railroad is as
literally disposed toward the National
Guard in 1898 as it has been in other years.
when trips have been made to Washington,
New York and to points in the State, the
transportation to Chicago would cost little
or nothing.
Governor Pattison's idea of taking the
troops to Chicago is warmly approved by
the leading officers OF the guard General
Snowden said last evening that he thought
it would be very good thing, as itwould
both enable the men to see the fair and
would show to many people the strength
and efficiency of the National Guard. 1t is
also proposed to send detachment of the
guard to the opening ceremonies of the fair
in 1892.
There is some talk of having Division En-
campment of the guard next year at Gettys-
burg Division Encampment was held
there during Governor Pattfson's first ad-
ministration, and he is said to favor another
there next year on the anniversary of the
great battle, which was fought on the first
three days of July. Nothing definite has
yet been decided about the matter, however.

SPECULATIVE CIVIL WAR.

The sPeculator in Spain is bound to
make a record for himself. According to
latest reports the late demonstration in
Barcelona, which looked like an insur-
rectiou, was the work of men hired by
enJcrprising operators in Spanish stocks,
who were short on the market and wished
10 force a decline at the Bourse.
This statement may be taken with a
grain of salt, as coming from Government
sources; but, if untrue, the theory indi-
Gates the importance and power of the
spcculator, To get up a civil war to affect
the stock market would be great specu-
laTive stroke. But it is only step beyond
the achievements of speculative genius in
this country. Here railway wars are fire.
Quently reSorted TO for the same purpose;
and while it may not be quite as bad to
begCar men as to kill, the speculative coup
OF producing a convulsive money panic in
order to make a great bear operation is
one OF the great and remunerative stocks
OF or most successful manipulatOrs.
The possibility indicated by these things
may produce an interesting inquiry
whether the day is coming when wars
will be fought, peace made, governments
nGlled down or set up, and society turned
upside down or reconstructed TO meet the
eXigencics of stock. We have already
reached the stage where laws are made or
uullified for the same purposes

If any doubts fingered in the public mind
about the success of summer opera in Pitts
burg after the reception of "Girofe-Girofla"
last week, they should be dispelled by the
reception given the Garrow Opera Company
in "The Bohemian Girl'' last night The Du-
Quesne was crowded, and it was an appreci-
alive gathering. The performance was all
that last weeks performance of the COM

music is better, but beside that "The Bo-

much better advantage as Arline, both
vocally and histrionically. Her"I Dreamed
Dwelt in Marble Halls' was received with
the greatest enthusiasm, and her work
throughout was eminently satisfactory. Mr..
Henry Hallam played the part of Thoddeus
with her admirably, and his rich tenor voice
was highly appreciated. John E, Brand ap-
peared in the role of Count Arn1tein and lie
sang 1.-The Heart Bowed Down" splendidly.
He has light and excellently managed
q very acceptable Queen, and Eugene Avery
from his impersonation of Fl0reSteip may be
set down as a better actor than singer, and
he is q good singer. The chorus is all that
could be desired for summer opera. 1t is
numerous faces and figures are attractive,
and musicany considered it is above the

With two strong summer night entertain

4 PREMATURE ADVERTISEMENT.

The allegedly socklesS Simpson is now
out with public notice that the Farmers
Alliance is going into the Ohio campaign
solely for the purpose of beating John
Sherman. They do not care whether Nc
Knlcy or Campbell is elected to the Gov
eruorship, and as to filling the Senatorship
they would prefer Foraker to Sherman,
while the possibility of Democratic Sen
'ator of the Payne, Brice or Mclean stamp
does not seem to have occurred to the
agricultural politicians. But they are
going for John Sherman's scalp, and Simp-
son announces thus early in the day that
they are going to have il.
This is an undoubted political right of
the Farmers Alliance politicians; although
1t may be suggested that when the Kansas
leaders undertake the task of making and
Unmaliug Senators in Ohio, tscy-.re likely
to bring down animadversions as cutting
too wide swath. But there is more evil
dent need for another warning to the new
school of political Warwicks When they
go hunting for Uncle John Sherman's
scalp, they are not wise to do it with a
brass band. If they think they can beat
50 cool and practiced hand as the senior
Senator from Ohio, they have the perfect
right to try; but to advertise the purpose
50 widely is to court the fate of the man
who sold the lions skin, but found later
that he was the victim of the game he had
contracted TO capture.
If the active Simpson intends to beat
the wary Sherman, he should be advised
TO do less talking and give his attention
exclusively to silence and saving wood
