WANT CAMPBELL TO WITHDRAW.
Representative Outhwaite Talks on the
Latest Phase of Ohio Politics.

WASHINGTON, April l5.-Recognizing that
Major Mckinley is likely to be the Republican
nominee for Governor of Ohio, and his strength
as a candidate. the Democrats of that State are
making an effort to induce Governor Campbell
to declare that he will not again be a candi-
date. There is considerable dissatisfaction
with Governor Campbell among the factions of
his party, growing out of the Governors action
in reference to the local boards of Cincinnati
and should he be again nominated it is believed
that a large faction of the Democratic party
will not give him support There is no open
demonstration against the Governor but there
is quiet movement among the leaders to in
way to man who can command the united
support of the party.
Representative Ourhwaite, who has Just re-
turned from a visit to Ohio, said to-day that
the nomination Of Campbell would result in
dissension, yet he believed the Governor will
not yield to the desire of the leaders aud with
draw. Should the Governor insist upon being
a candidate, Mr.. Outhwaite believes he will be
nominated. and that the fight will be between
him and Mckinley.
Speaking of the recent elections in Ohio.
Mr.. Outhwaite said that the issues were chiefly
on local affairs; that the results were Influenced
by them. and that the elections of last month
feeling in Ohio upon national and State affairs.
At the same time Mr.. Outhwaite admits that
the Democrats were made to suffer from the
antagonisms that prevail between the friends
and opponents of Campbell in his own party.
II is evident from the expressions of Ohio Dem
the denomination Of Campbell will be regarded
as mistake, which will be improved by the
Republicans and result in the election of Nc
Kinley by large majority.

4 PUBLIC SHAME.

a fracas is reported to have occurred at
one Of the principal street corners in the city
the other day which calls attention to one of
he disgraceful features that is becoming
altogether too common. One of the we'll
dressed but wretchediy bred persons of the
male sex found in superfuous profusion on
our streets INDUCED In impertinent comment
on :he appearance of a young woman who
was passing, and she promptly but unex-
peetedly retaliated with an attack by an
umbrella which put the enemy to rout.
If this energetic renedy were applied in
every case where women are accosted, or
spoken of impertinently with the intent
that they shall hear it, it might produce a
prompt suppression OF the nuisance. But,
unfortunately, the retaliation is one that is
impossible for refined woman. Elsewhere
in this issue facts are given showing the
frequency of this evil, and the immunity
OF hoodlums, of the fashionably clothed
variety, from the punishment they need.
This disgrace is not especially peculiar to
Pittsburg. Reports of similar occurrences
come from other cities. Wherever they
occur they are an insult to American
womanhood and blot on American man
hood.
1t used to be one of the worldwide boasts
OF this nation that a woman could pass
along the most crowded city streets without
hearing a word that could cause her annoy
ance. We should not lose the chivalrous
attribute without any attempt to preserve it.
The police and the public should unite in
clearing the streets OF these insulters o

ENGLISH CAPITALISTS TAKEN IN.
They Buy Several American Factories and
Then Claim Fraud


NEW YORK. April 15.-Ths City of London
Contract Company and the London and Chi
cago Contract Corporation. Limited, English
corporations, formed q syndicate some time
ago to purchase certain American enterprises,
one Of which was the bone black. carbon and
fertilizer manufactures. They entered into
contract to buy three Of the largest concerns in
the Countrywide Lister Agricultural Chemical
Works. of Newark, N. J.; the Michigan Carbon
Works, of Detroit, and the Northwestern Fer
tilIzer Company. of Chicago. Now they claim
to have been swindled. and desire that the con-
tract shall be set aside, and have brought suit
to this end In the Supreme Court. The de-
PENDANTS are Henry VI. Bigelow, James NJ. Gif-
ford, Edwin Liston, Ebenezer q. Hay, Henry
Russell, Denuing Jarvis and Henry NJ. Ralston,
of the three bone black companies.
1t is stated that Bigelow, representing these
companies, offered their entire stock to the
Englishmen for s3133610. The plaintiffs
agreed to buy at that price, and to pay ST. 335 900
in first mortgage bonds and S242. 800 in pre-
ferred stock. They were to form an English
company with a capital of 81, 100000. 1t was
never incorporated, although a,syndicate paid a
deposit of s33000Q Bigelow. it is claimed,
represented that the three companIes had ma

FIREARMS For DEEENsE

The tragic occurrence in Maryland the
other night, in which a householder and
wife were shot by burglars disturbed in
their work, is likely to be the subject of
further screeds by wiseacres who wish laws
passed to prevent the ownership of fire.
arms. AS such law would result in coz
fning the possession of firearms to the law
breaking classes, its result in this case
would have been to make the victims of
burglary even more defenseless. The case
in point was one where the owner of the
house called out to the burglar, "Speak, or
1 will fire l'' and the burglar then fired his
most fatal shot The mistake evidently was
in not shooting first and giving the warning
afterward

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PITTsBURG. THURSDAY. APR l6. 1891
HoNoRs TO THE PRESIDENT E

The warm reception given the President
on the first two DAYS Of his trip shows that
the South as well as the North is able
to lay aside political prejudices when it
comes to showing personal respect and ac-
cording due honors to the Chief Magistrate
of the nation. An enthusiastic spirit has
been shown "a preparing formal welcomes
FOR the Presidential party, some of the cities
being prepared TO make gala day OF the
visit
The significance of such warm receptions
IN she South is such as permits of no doubt.
There is no idea that the visit of President
Harrison has been the cause of any change
in the political sentiment of the South, or
that this gratifying reception shows a change
in its opposition as 4 whole to the party the
President represents. But it shows beyond
doubt the commendable progress made by
the people of that section toward the level
where they can lay aside politics and pay
due honors to the chief executive of the
nation without regard TO party. 1t is pos
sible tnat there may still be parts of the
South where the old-time bitterness of poll
IicS mlgut lnterIert Win SUCH IeceptlOn.
But it is evident that in the cities where the
President has visited the people are able to
discard politics in offering him honors due
his Office, as completely as would be the case
IN any Northern city.
This exhibition of ability to temporarily
discard partisanship is alike creditable to
the South, honorable in its attitude to the
President and gratifying to the whole coun-
try. II similar spirit is shown elsewhere
the Presidential trip in developing it's exhi-
bition will have served very useful pur
pose

THE VALUE OF EDUCATION,

The assertion of Charles A. Dana, in his
speech on Horace Greeley, that he was q
man of no education at all except what he
had acquired himself, and that this was a
great disadvantage to him. has ELECTED con-
siderable discussion pro and con. Mr.. Dana
recognized Greeley's remarkable abilities,
and fair construction of his language is
that the subject of the Grafton could have
made his abilities of far greater effect if he
had started with the advantages of college
training. Nevertheless such a sweeping
declaration as, there is no greater mis-
fortune for a man of extraordinary talent
than to be educated by himself because he
is of necessity very poor schoolmaster,"
warrants some of the sarcastic retorts about
taking ''the remarkably successful career of
Greeley as an illustration of the disadvan-
tages of self-education."
The fact is that a great deal of dispute
about the advantages or disadvantages Of
self-education is necessarily befogged by an
uncertainty of terms. Taking the word in
its broadest sense, all men who have earned
emineuce in any sphere of effort are self-ed-
ucated. Whether in political or social
philosophy, scientific investigation or COM
mercial effort, every successful man knows
he has gained his greatest knowledge and
his most complete grasp OF details of his
especial work BY the thorough lessons of
practical experience. If a man is not self
educated in the sense OF learning for him.
self the lessons of life. the judgment of hu-
m ncture md The cou, lefa N, efarv of> h..
details of his special line of effort, he will
never amount to much, whether he goes
through college or not.
OF course this is not the kind of education
in dispute, but it is important in this dis
cussion as showing what the training of col
leges and books must have reference to. But
the discussion of the value of college train
ing must depend on the kind of education
that obtains there. The college teaches its
student that it will at best only give him
ground work for beginning the greater edu-
cation of practical experience. II i. trains
in him habits of mind that will digest the
lessons OF life most advantageously, and i'm
presses him with the seeming paradox that
the object of education is to teach us that
at best we know comparatively nothing, then
Mr. Dana is right in saying that even man
like Greeley would have been better off if
he had started in life with that advantage
But if the preliminary education starts the
graduate into actual life with an idea that
the comprehension of the digamma, or the
oreticaI familiarity with comic sections,
places him on plane of mental superiority
above men who have learned the lessons of
actual work, then Mr.. Dana's critics are
right The first thing student who has
received such an education has to do is to
unlearn his lessons, and it sometimes takes
him all his life to do il.
Both kinds of education are taught, the

TIE DIPLOMATIC CORRESPONDENCE.

The anxiously-awaited correspondence be-
tween Italy and the United States is given
in our columns this morning. 1t is remark
able for two things-the moderate tone of
the King of Italy's demands, and for the
peculiar answer of Secretary Blaine.
When it was first stated th&t the
United States might ultimately take
refuge in the plea, that as under
mob law no protection was afforded to the
life and property of any citizen, the victims
of the New Orleans lynchIng had the same
treatment as American citizens, and, there
fore, there were no grounds for Italy's COM
plants, the friends of the Government e1-
pressed the hope that the statements were
unfounded. Unfortunately. the Secretary's
letter shows that refuge has been taken in
that very plea. How Italy will receive the
letter is doubtful.
Aside from the Objectionable arguments
noted, it is calm, carefully worded docu-
ment, which fact increases the regret felt
over the fallacious bit of pleading. 1t is to
be hoped that Minister Porter will not be
expelled, but if he is. Italy's excuse will be
found in Mir. Blaine'S letter.

COLUMBUS, April l5.-Mr. Cromley's House
bill to allow cattle to be shipped into Ohio and
butchered has been recommended for passage
In the Senate and will be on the calendar to-
morrow The present law prohibits live stock
from being shipped into Ohio and killed. but
does not prohibit dressed beef from being
shipped in. Western live stock could not be
shipped to Ohio and sold directly to butchers,
but they were compelled 10 buy the same cattle
from Armour after they had been dressed in
Chicago. The bill will probably pass.
There will be another effort to Secure tenn
perance legislation. The bill providing for
local option In counties was ordered on the cal
endar for Thursday. 1t extends the local op-
ton for cities and villages to counties, and pro-
vides that 1t shall be unlawful TO sell liquor in
counties after the people, by popular vote,
have declared against it There are several
counties in the State in which nearly all the
townships have adopted local option. The bill
would give such counties power to close all the
saloons In the county.
