Deception.

Have you ever practiced deception,

The one least soon forgiven,
Tie breaker OF human hearts?
Have you reused the tender passion
In the breast Of maid or man,
Then cast in the dust the castls,
Destroyed It's every span?
Have you watched the tear -dimmed eyes,
Seen the heavily heaving breast,
TIE heart strings torn asunder,
And tossed on the waves rude crest!
Have you turned when. alas. too late,
To rebuild the ruined life.
To find not a soul. but empty clay,
Murdered by deception's knife!

THE RULE OF CRIME.

The activity of footpads in the resi-
dence wards gives new force to the in
quiry whether we are going backward in
the public science of protecting life and
property. 1t is regarded as an illustration
of police inefficiency in the cities of the
old world in the last century, that Just
such highway robberies were committed
then as are reported almost daily now.
There is pertinence in the plea of the
authorities that the field to be patroled
cannot be fully covered by the police.
But the inference that people cannot be
protected by the present force has been
too frequent of late years, and is likely to
cut one way as well as another. Remem-
bering that the force has been twice in
creased in response to this demand, when
the public finds that protection is not
afforded they may think that the logic of
the situation points as strongly to the
abolition of force that does not protect,
as to its increase.
Whatever is necessary to make our
streets secure must be DONE The public
has The right tohold the municipal authori-
ties TO strict account for the efficiency of
the force supported by public funds; but
no expenditure necessary to protect the
people is greater than the public can
afford. The protection of the community

DANGER ON ELEVATED ROADS.

On,a single day this week two derail-
ments occurred on the New York ele-
waited railroad. In one the trucks went
beyond the guard rail; and the significance
of the accidents is sufficiently stated by
the Herald in the assertion that if such a
thing were to happen when the train is
going fast the locomotive and a part of
the train would be precipitated into the
istreet.
The periodical outcrop of talk about
! elevated railroads in this city is an excuse
for pointing out that this danger is con-
slant on an elevated road and is sure to
increase as the structure and equipment
feels the advance of age. 1t may be les
sened by strict watchfulness, but, as the
Herald says in connection with the New
York warning, Encouragement however
skiilful can provide against the sudden
swapping of a bolt or bar that is apparent
ly doing its full duty" Besides the OBJ
structiOn and Disagreement of city streets
by the elevated plan, the presence of this
continuing danger should exclude it as a
permanent solution of the transit problem.
When our present transit facilities be-
come inadequate Pittsburg should make
up its mind to put the streets above the
railroads and not the railroads above the
streets.

CORRECT VALUES OF FOREIGN COINS
A New Table Made Out and Proclaimed by
~EA Government OficiaIs.


WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 30.-The Director
of the Mint has estimated and the Secretary
of the Treasury has proclaimed the values OF
all foreign coins to be followed in estimat-
ing the values of all foreign merchandise
exported to the United States after January
], 1892. In determining the value of foreign
coin, the value of the monetary unit OF
countries having gold or double standard
was ascertained by comparing the amount
of pure gold in such unit with the pure gold
in the United States dollar, and the silver
valuation as the corresponding gold coins
with which they are interchangeable by law.
In countries having a silver standard the
the commercial value of the pure silver
contained in such coins, based upon the
average price paid for silver by the Treas
ury Department. during the month of De-
cember, 1891. Tie following coins have been
changed in value to the figure indicated:
FIorin of Austria-Hungary, 341; boliviano
of Bolivia, .69l: peso of Central American
States, sol; Shanghai tael of China, L02l;
Haikwan taei of China, ]. 137: peso of Colum-
bia .69l suere of Ecuador, .69l; rupee of
India, 1923: yen of Japan, .745; dollar OF
Mexico, 10; sol of Peru, 1891; rouble OF
Russia, .553; rouble of Russia (gold), .772;
mahbub OF Tripoli, $685. bolivar Of Vene-
zuela, .13S.
Fol the first time the Director of the Mint
OF Russia and our Consuls i'll Russia have
been instructed to certify hereafter the
depreciation of the paper money, which Is
the practical currency of Russia, from the
gold standard, instead of from the value OF
the silver rouble, as heretofore.

rNDERGR.DUATE ROTATIONS

A remarkable example of the defense
which secures condemnation is afforded
by the New York Suns response to Mr.
Garrison's charge that the Delta Kappa
Epsilon Society at Harvard maintains a
club barroom. The Sans comment on
this is that ''it is better for them (the
students) to drink among their equals
than to drink in Boston barroom." The
necessity that Harvard students must
drink somewhere is taken for granted here
with such good faith as to create the be-
lief that one Of the Kentucky Colonies
must have. rushed TO the defense of the
Harvard undergraduates As a represen-
tative Of their view it is not calculated TO
impress the minds of patrons of collegiate
institutions at all favorably.
On this representation it is fair deduc-
ton that if parents send their sons to col
lege to drink whisky, Harvard and the D.
X. E. afford eligible facilities in that line
OF instruction. But if a parent has a
preference that his son shall not drink he
had better seek out some fresh water col
lege for the youths education.

ONE-SIDED APPLICATION.

The decision rendered in Philadelphia
Monday against the Belt Line Railroad
shows how things work sometimes. By
this project all railroads are to be given
access to the city wharves and thus in
crease shipping facilities The question
was whether the company had the right
TO lay its tracks along street by permis-
Sicn of Councils; and the Court held in an
exhaustive opinion that it had not, except
by specific grant of the Legislature.
The legal foundation of this opinion
seems good; but its one-sided operation
appears in another fact. The only inter-
est opposed to the Belt Line was a rail-
road corporation already controlling the
exclusive approach to the wharves. and it
has track extending along the very street
10 which the Belt Line is denied access.
The result of the decision is that one rail-
road company which maintains the mon
opoly of the shipping business may run its
tracks along the street, and another Or
ganized for public benefit cannot do so.
Since the Court maintained that it is in
cumbent on the railroad to show its spe-
cific authority for occupying 4 street, OF
the principle that those who seek equity
must do equity, it should have required
the complainants to produce their author
ity for doing the same thing.
The decision, however, contains one
declaration which opens practical road
for the Belt Line to the wharves, and is of
public value generally. 1t is in this asser-
tion of Judge Gordon:
The Constitution OF 1874 makes all railroads
public highways and gives to any road the
right to connect with any other, and to have
its cars transported freely thereoyer with
out discrimination. In the present case the
defendants have the right to connect with
the tracks now on Delaware avenue. There
is, therefore, no necessity to further obstruct
the highway by new line of tracks. Ii an
agreement as to the terms of q Joint use OF
the existing tracks cannot be reached, the
law points out a way by which the Courts
can fix the terms. There is no necessity,
therefore, TO further impede the free use of
tie avenue by additional tracks
While the main effect of the decision is
10 deny to new railroads the right which
Is eXerted, legally or otherwise, by other
corporations in nearly every city in the
State, we believe this assertion to be right.
II Il CoIIecI III punt VI law, dS SldllDg the
legal obligations of the existing railways.
II is correct in point of policy, as it does
away with the necessity of multiplying
tracks. On that tatement any railroad
desiring 10 reach given point can bring
its ears to the existing roads, and appeal
to the courts to fix equitable terms Tor the
joint use Of the tracks. This is what The
DISPATCH has always regarded as the
proper solution of the problem of railway
tracks within cities If maintained, it will
at once do away with the difficulty of Sc
