NARROW VIEWS OF SYMPATHY.

An expression of sympathy for the
YOUNGSTOWN people when they were supposed
to be suffering from a second inundation
INDUCED itself, moves the New York Me
tropoliS to declare that the Johnstown peo-
pie deserve no sympathy. This remarkable
declaration is based upon such grounds as
that they knew of the danger from previous
experience, but took no steps to guard
against it. and that they permitted the Cam
bria Iron Company to do certain things
which that corporation ought not to have
done.
The evident impression of this journal,
whose object in life appears to be the ex-
ploitation of its own idea of its own smart
ness, is that the Johnstown people ought to
have moved a mountain or two to give the
rivers a clear egress when they are over
flowed. But as the reasoning from which
these conclusions are drawn is based on that
New York Herald investigation of last fall,
people who are informed on Johnstown
matters will not deem it worth while to
spend much time in refuting them. The
Herald succeeded in developing some re-
markable statements and striking conclu-
sions by depending on the m gination of
other people for facts and its own ignorance
of the primary principles Of accounting for
its financial statements.
But the assertion that the Johnstown peo-
pie are not entitled to sympathy because
they have been the victims of their W
errors and other peoples blindness, reveals
a remarkable limitation of the functions of
human sympathy. If every community
which has left public works undone. or per-
mitted corporations to take undue liberties,
is to be excluded from sympathy, New York
might be blotted out of existence without

CHINESE GENTLEMEN as GUESTS

Happy, Celestial hosts, with beaming faces
and well-brusbed queues, ushered guests by
the score into the lecture room of the Second
Presbyterian Church last evening for the an
nual supper given by the Chinese delegation
Of the church and Sunday school. Long
tables lined the room-that represented the
Flowery Kingdom in its ~profuse decorations
laden with all the delicacies of the season. and
after seating the guests the hosts themselves
occupied chairs at the different tables. The
supper was served by Hagan and consumed
nearly two hours in its disposal. A literary
programme followed the supper, for which the
assemblage adjourned to the auditorium of the
church. Toasts were offered and responded to,
and recitatlons and musical selections were
also given.

New Cumberland, W. Va, Independent.
We place the emphasis where it evidently be-

err and dispenser it is world wide in its scope.
The writer remembers THE DISPATCH when it
did not equal the average county daily of to-
dav. 1t has been a marvel in growth and pros
perity within the past 30 years. and we can only
guess at the progress it will make in years to
come. Its further improvements may be posi-
bilities. but how it will be accomplished no one
knows. The publishers keep abreast with the
times in appliances and facilities and Will not
be slow to seize upon whatever may transpire
to promote the future growth and popularity
of THE DISPATCH. Its Sunday issue is NAM
moth in proportions and has an immense cir
c~ulation-over 1000. You can find everything
in THE DISPATCH that you should expect in
any popular newspaper, literary, financial or
commercial. The DISPATCH is an independ-
ent Republican Journal, discussing events
only along the line of truth and public interest.
Its daily bona tide circulation Is over 30, OOO.

THAT New York census still occupies

THAT New York census still occupies a
place in New York politics through the rigorous
efforts of the Legislative Committee investigat-
ing it. The partisan interests involved are
shown by a Republican organ which reported
Inspector Byrnes' testimony as an admission
that two OF the police enumerators employed
for the recount were professional criminals"
The Inspectors testimony was very clearly
that the criminals referred to were among the
Federal inspectors. Party necessity must have
come to a desperate pass, when the organs find
it necessary to falsify testimony given in pub
lie

GOOD PAvEMENTs AND SPEED.

The novel point is made that the large
number of accidents on the streets of Lon
don is caused by the smooth of
that city, which make it easy for horses to
draw loads at a trot. This has evoked an
argument from some headquarters OF sapi-
ence that it is bad policy to lay smooth
pavements in our cities because pedestrians
would be in so much greater danger of being
run down. <#+
The argument belongs TO a class of logic
which if followed out would produce re-

EARRINGS ARE GOING.

VERY Few Fashionable Women Wear Them
Though a Few Affect Studs.
New York Continent.1
Not many years ago two women out of three
wore earrings.
Little girls at school begged to have their ears
pierced, and submitted to the painful punctur-
ing of the delicate lobe of the ear only for the
qualification of vanity.
To-day. except among the italian and Portu-
guese women. the pendant earring has almost
wholly disappeared.
A few still cling to the ear ornaments in the
shape of a stud. but the jewellers say that few
women nowadays SUBMIT to the piercing pro-
cess.
Some whose ears are already punctured still
wear their ornaments. but many use little
articles to conceal the traces of the needle.

BECAUSE the diplomatic representatives
of the United States abroad are called minis
tiers while those of minor European powers are
called ambassadors, an Eastern contemporary
asserts: "This is both humiliating and incon-

business of the United States with the foreign
powers has gone on just the same, there seems
to be decided belief that the diplomatic agent
by another name would smell a great deal
