THE POOR OF CITIES.

The problem of the congestion of the col
ored population in Washington forms the
subject of letter to be found elswhere, by
the special Washington correspondent Of
the DISPATCH. While the danger is painted
in rather alarmist colors, there is no
doubt that it represents with much peril
nence an evil which is of no slight weight
and which if neglected may grow to the
magnitude of serious threat to our social
integrity.
The masses of ignorance, poverty and
vice to be found in any large city repre-
sent one of the problems of the time. 1t
is hardly to be deemed that color makes
any vital difference in this problem. The
destitute and vicious classes of New
York City furnish exactly the same prob
lem as those of Washington. The fact that
the members of one class are white and
the other black is simply an accident of
locality. What are the causes of the
evil and how they are to be remedied, is
one of the great questions of the time,
which is not yet fully answered
The suggestion of our correspondent
that large portion of this idle labor could
be transplanted to advantage to unoccu-
pied and tillable land within easy reach of
Washington contains the germ of valu-
able policy. There is no doubt that an
intelligent administration of public funds
for the relief of the poor should make it
leading feature of its policy, that all ap-
plicants for relief who are able to do farm
work should be transferred to the field of
agricultural production. This is the real
strength of the plan of General Booth, of
the Salvation Army, for dealing with the
similar problem in London.
But that it is possible to force those who
make 10 application for public relief, to
transplant themselves to rural life, is
much more doubtful assertion. To carry
out the principle that people who choose
to live in poverty in cities and are salts
fed to accept the privations that come
from their chosen mode of life, without
seeking public aid, must be deported by
legal force, would imply despotism as
absolute as any that exists in the Old World.

THE ORE TRADE AND IRON CENTER.

4 Chicago special, with reference to the
consolidation Of iron mining interests, re-
ported from Duluth recently, shows that
ii the consolidation took place, it was
nothing more than a stock operation. The
ilpussibility of swallowing up, in q single
combination, the Gogebic, Menominee and
Marquette districts, makes it clear that the
iron industry is entirely free from any ap-
prchenSion Of the ore supply falling under
the domination of gigantic trust.
4 very important and satisfactory ad-
mission is quoted by our correspondent
from one of the leading authorities on
iraa ore in Chicago, to The effect that as
center Of iron and steel production, Chicago
"eannot hold a candle to the Lake Erie
district, which is the gateway by which
ths ore supplies reach the Western Penn
syIyauia and Eastern Ohio fur
Uaccs and mills. This is true to-day, as it
has been Tor years. The concentration of
ore and fuel supplies is made here on the
most favorable terms, 50 far as the reduc-
tt.a Of Lake Superior ores is concerned.
The future rival of this section, if it ex-
ISIS anywhere, is in the Southern district.

QUAY STILL IN THE FIELD,

Some time ago The DISPATCH suggest
ed that it would not be wise to take the
retirement of Senator Quay from the
craftsmanship of the National Republican
Committee as in any sense implying his
retirement from Pennsylvania politics, but
very much the contrary. Like the oracles
of Captain Jack Bunsby, the meaning of
this remark lay in the application of it;
and the latter may be perceived in the
report which appeared in Philadelphia
last week that the successor of Andrews
as Chairman of the State Committee has
already been fixed upon, and that his
name is none other than the already
famous one of Matthew Stanley Quay
This conveys the intimation that the
Senator's resignation of his National posi-
ton was for the purpose of giving his un-
divided attention to the repair of political
fences and other property in the Common
wealth of Pennsylvania. There have been
intirations that the step was taken to
permit the Senator to push the Blaine
boom. But if Mr.. Quay was actuated only
by the desire to run the machine so as to
secure the nomination of Blaine, he
could do so just as effectually, if
not mere 50, as National Chairman.
The probability is that in his utterances
in favor of Blaine, our keen-sighted Junior
Senator has been actuated more by a de-
sire to advance the fortunes of Matthew
Stanley Quay than those of James G.
Blaine. The latter are to be strengthened
by skillful work within the State, and the
effort can be greatly aided by using the un-
doubted tide of popular favor for the Sec
retary of State.
Nevertheless it must be recognized that
the task which the Junior Senator has un-
dertaken, if this report be true, will pre-
sent some peculiar complications. The
Republican reverse of last fall was due to
the dissatisfaction Of the independent ele-
ment with the character of the Quay
regime; and the revolt of the Republican
wing not generally rated as Independent
against the control of the offices by

THE FIRST CoLUMBaRIUN.

The growth of the cremation idea is
strikingly illustrated by the fact set forth
in detail elsewhere that celumbarium or
structure for the reception of ashes from
the cremaUOries, is to be erected in the
Allegheny cemetery of this city, aRd is ex-
pacted to be ready fer use by the close of
the wear. This is the first modern struc-
ture Of the kind in the known world. The
fat that structure OF the sort is needed
IN this city shows a remarkable increase in
the use Of cremation for the disposition of
The bodies Of the dead
Il Is interesting to note the lead that has
been taken IN this matter by this section,
The crematory built by DR.. LeMoyne at
Washington, fifteen wears ago, was the
first of its kind in the world, and the re-
form introduced by that sturdy and per-
stSrent old radical, met with the strenuous
opposition of prejudice and conservatism.
The obiectors to cremation did not pause to
consider that the issue was solely between
the rapid and harmless consumption of
the bodies by fire and their slow
and possibly harmful consumption
by the natural process of decay. But the
Lu'n ol tNSlC III bllF oppool1fOll LIDS bCSu
fell in the rapid adoption of cremation
both in the United States and abroad.
Tie leadership Of Western Pennsylvania
in establishing the first crematory is re-
reargd by the establishment of the colum-
bar;um for the reception of eremated re-
mains in the principal cemetery of this
ctr
The possibilities suggested in the new
departure are almost infinite; but the
prospects are that, as in the case of crema-
ton So far, whatever changes are made
VIII bee made SO gradual that the revolu-
ton VII never be felt But the prospect
that future generations will see structures

letter attributed to him by Figaro.
There are three things that caused
tn welcome of the French feet at

have written 10 a friend-the visit of
the Empress Frederick to Paris, the
renewal of the Triple Alliance, and the
visit of the Emperor TO London "They

Ing to this story "They would not have
been done if had been Chancellor. No
one can do anything right except myself 4"
1t is hard to believe the Iron Chancellor,
even III opposition, to be guilty of such
drivcl rs this. The visit of the Empress
Mother to Paris, certainly gave no offense
10 any but the irreeoncilables among the
French. The Triple Alliance was Bis
marck's own creation and its renewal was
just as necessary to Germany as its origi-
nal Establishment. The visit of the En-
peror to London was the second that he
had paid since his accession, and had no
more oTense in it than his visits to the
Russian Emperor. Bot if this account is
