POPLAR FEATURE,

One of the features of Thanksgiving,
and not the leass interesting, is the cul-
mination of colie7e rivalry in athletics
which takes plase in the great football
game every year between Y ale and Prince
ton. Yesterdays result added another
feature to the abundant plume of victory
which Yale is proudly wearing in the
arena of athletics. OF all athletic sports
football is taking what promises to be the
most permanent hold upon the public
fancy. 1t calls for brain as well as Drawn,
for the subservience of the individual to
the team, and for the highest qualities of
physical courage. 1t arouses the utmost
enthusiasm among spectators; and it has
not yet fallen into the hands of profes-
sionals Nearly fifty thousand people wit
messed the great college game of yes
terday.
Yale won by a renewed exhibition of the
skill and forethought for which its team is
distinguished, the Princetons being actu-
ally the heaviest men. Its victory shows
that football as now played calls for more
of the qualities needed in war, including
clever generalship, than any other sport.
However athletics may be abused at col.
lege, there is no doubt that they are grow.
ing in favor The idea is that the quail.
ties of self-denial, perseverance and pluck
needed for success in athletics can be
made equally effective when brought into
business pursuits. 1t is worth considering.

Is OUR WATER SUPPLY SAFEe

Attention was called in the news
columns of THE DISPATCH day or two
ago TO the danger Pitrsburg runs in de-
pending upon a single conduit for its
water supply-a danger which has been
startlingly exemplified in Brooklyn's very
unpleasant experience during the past
week Brooklyn has been practically dry,
as far as water was concerned, since
last Saturday, owing to an acci-
dent to the brick conduit through
which the city's water is conveyed
This might occur, and indeed is not
at all unlikely to occur, one of these days,
in Pittsburg, for expert authorities say
that the solitary main which brings the
water from Brilliant station to the High
land reservoir is near the end of its life,
as a sound and sure pipe.
In time of peace prepare for war; and
in winter when water is plentiful it is a
good time TO prepare for summer shortages
and dangers that threaten the supply.
Brooklyn has found out how costly as well
as how inconvenient it is to be deprived of
water. 1t is estimated that the stoppage OF
manufacturing alone means loss of hum
dfeds of thousands of dollars to labor as
we'll as capital. Luckily Brooklyn was not
visited by fire while she was defenceless,
or the direct loss might have mounted into
millions in an hour or two. When the
water department asks for improvements
and enlargement Of its plant the requests
should be given a careful hearing by
Councils, and liberality in this direction is
apt to be well-timed.

AN EMBARRASSING QUESTION

The Northern and Southern ends of the
Democratic party, or considerable ele-
ment of each, will for a long time to come
have-what for a long time past they have
had-an embarrassing difference of optn-
ion between them. The Richmond, Va,
State reminds one of this anew when it
says:
The Albany, n. Y, Journal, a large and in
f1uential daily, has asserted that Governor
Hill refused to deliver the Grady Grafton in
Atlanta unless the Confederate flags used in
decorating the stand were removed. We
have looked in vain thus far for some denial
by Governor Hill of this assertion. If he
felt insulted by the presence ofthose old,
dismasted colors, if he saw in them treason,
in short, if he did make the request that
they be removed, it would be well for him to
speak out right now. If he did this thing,
we cannot think such hsuper-sensitiveness on
the part of Governor Hill will please the
South.
Waving aside the ethical point involved
in this and similar items of the same gen.
eral subject, the question is an unpleasant
one for some Northern Democrats to
answer, and that Governor Hill so regards
it is evident from his silence upon the
matter in spite of frequent interrogations,
of which the Richmond States is a fair
sample. If political morals had nothing
whatever to do with the matter, 1t would
still be desirable, on the ground of COM
fort, to belong to party in which it would
be impossible for one end to ask the other
such an embarrassing question.

woMAN's MISSION ENLARGED.

There are very few things that men do
that women do not do nowadays, and the
trifling exceptions are being swallowed up
by the rule daily. Still there has fingered a
hope that the girls at college would re-
frain from initiating their brethren in
those rougher sports and customs that
adorn male university life. Even this
hope is vanishing, for now there is pub
lished an account of "a rush" that took
place at Wellesley College few days
ago. The crush" was an excellent
imitation of the masculine article in its
motive, which could hardly be discovered
with a microscope, and the only differ
ence in the results was that instead of
broken bones and blackened eyes the fair
contestants mourned the loss of innumer-
able hairpins and the tearing of many
gowns.
The advocates of woman's right to take
mans place in the world can point with
pride to this incident in girls college life
as another proof in their favor. Doubt
less man will scan his daily newspaper
with trepidation for the sweet girl under:
graduates next move in competition with
Yale or Princeton's men of muscle. The
growing popularity of football may lead
some of the principals of our girls col
leges to add that gentle sport to their
curriculum. Woman, anyhow, ought to
shine in this game; hasn't she been
making football of man since the year

BRIrAIN,s TRIBUTE TO PROTECTION.

The cable brought to yesterdays DIS
PATCH the best news England could pos
sibly send, in the proceedings of the Ma
tional Union Of Conservative Associations
assembled in Birmingham. In this large
congregation representing fully and fairly
the Tory or Conservative party of Eng
land and containing its ablest and most
active men, variety of topics was dis
cussed, but the important one, on which
the prevailing feeling was most positive
and vital, was that of American protection
as affecting British interests, and this was
the principal theme of the chief light OF
the conference, Lord Salisbury.
Wednesday evening when he made
a speech before a large number Of
Birmingham citizens he devoted al
most his entire time to a consider
alton of the foreign tariffs and the
evils which they threatened to visit upon
Birmingham and of the trade of England
generally. Son all sides" he said, "there
appeared constantly increasing protective
duties, which were calculated to stif1e
British trade. The protection heresy on
which tariffs were founded, grows like
other evil passions, upon what it is fed.
Watching English statistics can not but
feel anxiety lest the efforts of foreign pro-
tectionists shall prove successful. I'm
doubtedly British trade is being hindered
by foreign legislation. We have had
trouble in the rural districts where no
longer sound employment can be obtained,
as formerly Men have had to seek a des-
perate remedy by moving into towns.
The Government will seize with avidity
any measure promising legitimately to in
crease employment for laborers either in
towns or districts
What stronger testimony can there be
than this to the efficacy of the protection

POLITICAL POT BUBBLES.

Republican party.-Lndia,aapoti Journal.
MEssns. SPRINGER AND MILLS are both ac-
cused of toying with the Tammany tiger in
their race for the Speakership. Possibly,
but we are prepared to bet that Springer
could pare the animals claws when neces-
sary better than his opponent could-Chi-
cdgo Ns,Cs.
JOHN SHERMAN belongs to the splendid line
of Ohio statesmen which includes the names

three more terms, If lie should desire

But the Republic must accept Mr.. Mills just
as ne is, income tax crank as well as free

PITTsBURG, FRIDAY, NOV. q, 1881.
THE sPEAKERsHIp INDICATIONS.

In spite of the fact that Messrs. Mills
and Crisp have been the persons most
frequently mentioned in connection with
the speakership, there has been feeling
that majority of the Northern Democ-
racy have held to the opinion that
Springer, of Illinois, would be the lucky
man when the clamor was over and the
practical work of taking the vote had been
accomplished. This was for the reason
that the major portion of the Democratic
majority in the next House is from north
of Mason and Dixon's line, where there
exists something of sectional, as well
as other objection, to both Mills and
Crisp, and that this preponderance of the
Northern Democracy would demand the
recognition Of a man of its own section.
But now comes intelligence which may
overbear this preference among Northern
Democratic Congressman. What is
thought to be only one of quick sue
ceeding series of movements favoring
Mills and calculated to form vigorous
hoom for the Texan, has been sprung by
the publication of letter from eX-Spesker
Carlisle. This letter, the appearance of
query from Congressman ]. D. Warner, is a
strong and shrewd, and evidently well
planned. eulogy for Mills, combating the
charge that he is ''unftted by tempera-
ment to make digniied and effective pre-
siding officer 1t is very generally be-
lieved that this is the first gun in general
fusilade for Mills, designed to put the
speakership contest squarely upon the
ground of free trade, to the exclusion so
far as possible of the silver question, and
thus pave the way for Cleveland'S candi-
dacy.
The battle for the honors of the House
is at any rate now opened, and upon Mon
day, by which time it is expected most of
the members will have reached Washing
ton, it will reach its height.

OWEN MEREDITH,s Lucille.

A host of Americans who knew nothing,
and cared less, for LORD Lytton, the diplo-
matwho died the other day, had a genuine
regard for the poet who hid his title under
the simple pseudonym of Owen Meredith.
While nothing like the genius of his
father, the great Bulwer, ever illumined
Owen Meredith's work, one of his
poems at least attained extraordi-
nary popularity, and he had for
all his poetic outpourings large and
friendly audience among English-speaking
people The solitary work that is likely
to survive It's author any great length OF
time, is the novel in verse, Lucille" 1t

ers Take Important Action.
TERRE HAUTE, IND, Nov. 26.-The national
omcials of the United Mine Workers to-day
formally indorsed the miners strike in In
dlana and voted the strikers aid out of the
National Miners treasury. The line OF
pattle between the miners and
operators is thus drawn. This
act,on was taken by President Rae
ana vice President Penna, who investigated
tne strike in all its phases, and found that 1t
merlted the strongest sympathy OF the ma
tional organization. The Miners Conven-
cm1ar c,Gn today decided to send cir;
States. asking for their financial
support in the present struggle. A resolu-
Il0n was adopted that all miners and mine
IaDoLers IN Indiana, where the prices de-
nianaeu are being paid, pay an assessment
OF not less than cents ton tor the support
OF the strikers.
A resolution was adopted with enthusiasm
that as the national officers had indorsed the
strike, and as the operators had refused all
advances toward just and honorable set
tlement, the miners of Indiana accept the
challenge thrown down by the op-
Il necessary, till the 1st day of May, 1892.
The convention condemned the action of
miners who leave Indiana to 20 to work in
Illinois miners are direct competitors OF
these fields. The convention specific.
ally named the mines at Grape Creek,
Danville and Pana which injure the
miners chances Of success in Indiana. The
State officers were requested to negotiate
with the Illinois officers to prevent. If possi-
Bile, such injurious competition. The clos
ing resolution of the convention was one
vesting in the State officers all the necessary
means of conducting the strike and pledg-
ing all the delegates present to support it
till the end. The miners enter the present
strike with more enthusiasm and confidence
than any struggle they have undertaken for

have been sold, we believe, in America
alone. The dispassionate critic is some
what at loss to account for the hold that
Lucille" has taken upon so many hearts,
especially women's hearts. 1t is fact
that Lucille will often be found on a
book shelf where no other poem has
foothold. As poem it is certainly not
first-class work; but it contains great
deal of human nature, especially in the
description of the gentle passion, and
some of the language is both poetic and
graphic in high degree. No other poem
of Meredith's has charmed so many read
ers, and, as we limited before, women hold
it still in higher esteem than it merits, II
it be judged by, the usual eanons OF
criticism.

Better Than Striking Gas.

new yOfk 6uusJ
Pittsburg and Pennsylvania generally may
boast Of what natural gas has done and does
for that city and State, but they are behind
the age. A vein Of electricity has been
struck in Minnesota, and doubtless very
soon the farmers will be running their
threshing machines by the aid Of the natu-
raj product, and the towns will be lighted
and the street cars run with power from this
source. Charles ]. Hollywell, a farmer Of
Redwing, Mimi, Is the discoverer. Like
Neal Dow, he was DIGGING for water when
his I'LL luck made him strike electricity. He
had two professional well diggers drilling
his we'll. They had bored about l5O feet
down when their tools dropped to nowh ere
and a great force of air came from the hole.
The men said the hole was bottomless, but
after a while began to fish for their rod and
drill. Fresh rods dropped into the hole were
violently shaken, and one man who took
hold of q rod was knocked down. Hollywell
thinks the hole Is the entrance to "a great
natural storehouse Of electricity

Analysis of Ohio's Officlal Vote.

Chicago Inter-Ocean.1
The official vote of Ohio, with the excep-
tion of Hancock county, gives Major McKin-
ley $50 024 votes; Governor Campbell, $780, 1872;
Ashenhurst, the Prohibition candidate, 49,
s69, and Seitz, the Peoples party candidate,
23,97L This makes McKlnley's plurality 81,
292. The vote of Hancock county will be
very close, and IT will but little change in
McKinley's plurality. Last year Hancock
gave the Republican ticket 5000 votes, and
the Democratic ticket 4674 votes. Taking
this as an average vote in Hancock, it In
creases McKinley's total vote to 3s7,024, and
Campbell's to 365, ,406 The total vote of Ohio
this year is about 5000, as against $4,000
last year, 775 600 two years ago, and $4,000 in
1888, In the Presidential year Harrison had
4l6 O54 votes; in 1859 Foraker had Ses 55l votes:
Ryan, Secretary of State, had S6s,54s, and
this year Mckinley has 3s7,0A votes. Nc
Kinley's vote over that of Foraker two years
ago is Is, ,473, or just about the same as the in
crease in the total vote this year over that
Of two years ago. when Foraker was the
candidate.

FLoRERCE's FORTUNE
He LEFT His Widow Only a Modest Compel

He Left His Widow Only a Modest Compet-
ence to Live Upon.
NEW YORK, Nov. 26-tSpeciall- 1T may be
said with safety that the late w. J. Florence
left . modest competence to his widow. Ex-
aggerated estimates Of his profits are cur
rent. The truth Is difficult to get at in mat
ters Of this sort, but it is known that Flor
ence found his best fortune in "The Mighty
Dollar" He used that piece almost uninter-
ruptedly for q dozen years, and he probably
reckoned his profits as at least $500, 900.
That he did not save all that money is palp-
able. He lived well and he kept expensive
company. Besides, he often took flyer in
Wall street. Indeed, 1t is pretty well known
that he lost heavily on stocks even as late as
the past year. There were many steady de-
mands upon his purse which he could not, ,or
did not, ignore. During Mrs. Florence's
tours with her husband she received hand
some weekly salary for her services. and
she always got it. whether business was good
or bad. The real estate owned by Florence
was valuable, not very heavily incumbered
and has increased In worth Of late.
