INJUSTICE CANNOT STAND.

So much has been written about the now
celebrated Tracy Reiter case that mere re-
iteration is apt to be tiresome. Still, SO long
as it remains that plain and uncorrected
injustice has been done to Commander
Reiter, and so long as it is manifest that
Secretary Tracy's deliverance is liable, If
allowed to stand, to involve the country
some day in annoyance far exceeding any
which attached to the BarrundIa affair, sur
prise must continue why the official action
should BE- permitted to stand. Had Com
mander Reiter put himself in conflict with
the State Department and with international
law by undertaking to prevent the Guatema-
Ian authorities from serving a civil process
on native of their own country within
their territorial jurisdiction-in which
plight, against warning, Barrundia had
Voluntarily put himself-the Commander
would doubtless have been court-martialed.
The general impression about Secretary
Tracy is that he is an honest and well-dis-
posed man. but OF hot and testy temper
which inclines him to quick decision where
his prejudices are aroused, and to obstinacy
afterward in sticking to it. For the Secre-
tary's own character it is a pity he should
have denied full and partial inquiry to
Reiter.
For the character of the public service,
and for the interest of the country in avoid
ing future unnecessary and deplorable mis-
takes, it is simply essential that in some form
or other Commander Reiter shall yet have
just that sort of inquiry.

be no difficulty In obtaining neces-
sary franchises for the underground
roads. Especially as the construc-
tion would SO greatly simplify
the sewerage system Of the city, afford per-
feet means for abating the overhead wire
nuisance, furnish a subway for water and
gas pipes, and relieve the stress on over
crowded streets. But in fact there is great
difficulty. And that difficulty is the
elevated road. Mr.. Jay Gould controls that
network of iron girders, and mis- powerful
lobby is sparing neither pains nor expense
to perpetuate that Intellectual and dangerous
means of transit. Mr.. Gould probably had
to pay literally for the franchises he enjoys,
and he does not propose to let matter like
the convenience, comfort and safety of the
people interfere with his enjoyment Of the
franchises granted by their boodling repre-
sentatives. New York has long possessed a
notoriously cRrupt political machine. and
is suffering the consequences.
These facts are chiefly of value, outside of
New York, for their instructiveness. They
point the danger of permitting political ma
chimes to get entire control of municipal
affairs, and in a particular way the folly of
granting elevated railroad franchises in
cities which have outgrown the facilities
afforded by surface roads. Pittsburg. just
enjoying the adoption of complete system
of surface roads and not yet too big to be ac-
commodated by them, is still some distance
from the problem under consideration. But
growing as it is, it may as well make up its
mind and be prepared for it when it comes.

BRIBERs AND BRIBE TAKERS.

The Ohio idea, embodied in the bill to
relieve receivers of bribes from prosecution,
has some features to recommend it 1t is
very apparent that bribery is a fourishing
institution in various places. Many poll
ticians could see no advantages in occupy
ing positions of trust and honor (?) were 1t
not for the ever-present Doodle. The bill
pending at Columbus maintains that it Is a
crime to give bribe, but it is no crime to
receive one. 1t is proposed by this reversal
of the proverb that it is more blessed to give
than to receive, to secure the conviction of
bribers by having the bribed become wit
nesses. As the takers of bribes who occupy
official positions perjure themselves in
doing SO, they would hardly hesitate
to bear false witness. Thus it appears
the underlying thought of this Ohio idea is
that disappointed Office seekers who have re-
ceived bribes will be sour enough to tell the
trath. This is not the best of policy. 1t
would, probably, encourage bribe givers to
work for successive reflections of the bribe
takers who would be relieved from prosecu-
tion for taking bribes and violating tneir
oaths of office.
1t might even be preferable to relieve the
bribe givers. They violate no oath. They
would be quite as apt to turn informer,
when the briDe market was bulled as the
takers would when they could not get as
much Doodle as they wanted. And the
effect of the prosecutions would be to weed
ont of official places some of the people who
are ever all too willing to be bribe.l.

SOCIETY AND MUSIC.

Divide Musfn and His Artists Delight q
Small Audience at Old City Hall-Truly
Grand Concert-Notes Of the Fashion
able World.
Il would give $40 for that g string" said a
prominent local violinist as Ovide Musin was
playing Leonard's grande fantaisie, 'Souvenir
de Hiden," at Old City Hall last evening. But
from the atfectionate regard in which the great
artist held that same G string it would take
more than money to secure it, for before the
programme was finished he played Paginini's
variations for the G string. that being the only
one on his superb violin during that perform
ance.
The audience that greeted Ovide Musin was
small In numbers, but great in appreciation and
applause, not single number on the pro-
gramme failed in ellciting a not-to-be-denied
encore. and, in some cases, two reappearances
were the result of the prolonged applause.
Annie Louise Tanner, the soprano shared the
tr1umDhs OF the evening with the violinlst.
owing to her clever and artistic manipulation of
her clear and bird-like voice, with which she
almost succeeded in singing Ovide Musin's
the quickly changing variations on the violin
was her unexpected sounding of harmonic E, q
mentalist.
The pianist. Edward Scharf. distinguished
n,mself most by his appreciative rendition of
Chopin's beautiful waltz "Opus 90" Karl
Storr enthused the Garman heart in the audi
ence by the very stirring and feeling way in
which he sang Schumann's favoriJe soldier
song OF the Fatherland, "Wanderliej." 1nez
Parmater, in spite of severe cold, won many
Iaureis. appearing in one single number and
again in the Souvenir de Strauss" which
closed the programme, and in which the entire
concert company appeared.

GOOD PICTURES APPRECIATED

Popular interest .hereabouts in good
pictures, which was so strikingly illustrated
at the Carnegie Loan Exhibition year ago,
is now again proved by the crowds who go
to see the Verestchagin collection. This
public liking for art-this appreciation OF
stories told and imagination kindled by the
brush and palette-is a good omen of the
spirit in which the great gallery which
Andrew Carnegie proposes to found here will
be received bv the people. A community
which delights in books and pictures will
always have treasures of enjoyment in re-
serve; and where the appreciation is, there
also, in good time. do the things to be ap-
preciated find their way through sympathetic
agencies.
It was the public interest in last years
Loan Exhibition which prompted Artist
Beatty and his associates to procure for
Pittsburg the notable paintings of Verest-
chagin. The interest, again, which is now
shown in these will in turn stimulate future
exertlon to secure other treats for Pittsburg;
and by the time Mr.. Carnegie comes along
with his s.. 900. 900 gallery which is to make
this place the mecca of American art, the
popular capacity to enjoy it will not, we
trust. be surpassed in any other city however
pretentious.

POVERTY AND COLD WEATHER

The French Government has met the situ-
alton created by the intensely cold weather
by making an appropriation for the relief
of the poor. Thus the French nation again
shows its superiority over other European
countries in caring for its people. The
stress in London still continues. The police
DENY the charges of General Booth, of the
Salvation Army, about the poor on London
bridge, and from other quarters attacks are
made upon Booths plan of charity, it being
coDtended he has misappropriated funds
contributed for that purpose to a scheme of
publication. In Germany the hungry
thousands are still shivering and praying
for relief from the weather, which they have
lost hope OF getting from any other source.
Of course the governments of Europe are no
more to blame for the appalling situation,
brought out by the unexpected intensely
cold weather, than the general economic,
Industrial and social customs of the people.
But it is hard to tell how much each is re-
sponsible for the other. 1t is notable, how
ever, that the Republic rises superior to
the monarchies.

PROFIT SHARING AND SAVINGS.

The Borne Mills Corporation, of Fall
River, Mass, has adopted a plan of limited
profit sharing and encouragement to en-
ployes to save something of their earnings,
which is both ingenious and commendable.
They have established an Employees Saw
ings Fund Account"
The plan is that any employe of the cor
poration upon receiving his wages, and be-
fore any temptation TO expenditure has come
in his way, may leave with the company a
dollar or more, upon which he receives 8
per cent interest from the time of deposit
or more if the profits of the company war
rant it The money can be withdrawn at
any time upon ten days notice, and If it is
allowed to accumulate to the amount Of 500
it may be deposited in any savings bank the
employe may select. There is nothing COM
pulsory in the arrangement, and the money
is not bonded against the discharge or re-
tirement of the depositor. Even though he
should choose to use it in support of strike
against the company his employers are
pledged to give it back to him.
This plan is probably superior to any
other yet devised for encouraging work
ingmen to save something from their
earnings and at the same time create bond
of mutual interest between employer and
employed. 1t gives to every frugal employe
a share OF the profits, assists the managers to
increase and extend the business and thus
offers greater security of permanent employ
ment to the workeE. 1t really makes every
employe a silent partner. While leaving
the management in the hands of the firm
probably more capable hands than could be
found among the employes-lt still gives the
employe the same interest in its successful
conduct that the owners themselves have.
AS saving fund it presents features vastly
superior to the compulsory insurance
schemes which have been adopted by
various corporations. Its practical work
ing will be watched with interest, and the
advantage taken of it by the employees will
comprise an instructive statistical exhibit.
1t may be hoped the Bourne Mill Corpora
tion will keep the public advised as to
results from the plan.

LAW ENFORCED WITH A SAW.

Kansas officers sustained the majesty Of
the law yesterday by saving off the Kansas
end of saloon, close up to the State line.
The wicked liquor seller, without license,
located his spirit market on the State line.
When arrested in one State he declared his
liquor business was done in the other, and
when the other State attempted to prosecute,
of course his business was across the border.
But he is now left at the mercy of the
Missouri courts. Minions of the law in
Kansas had the State line definitely located,
and have sawed the saloon off short, confs-
eating their side Of it. This confines the
liquor seller to Missouri. though he may
insist on his patrons standing in Kansas
while ordering up beverages.

PITTsBURG. FRIDAY, JAN. %, 1891.
MN MEMBER. NEW SPEAKER.

For 4 brand new granger statesman,
Speaker Thompson Of the House at Harris
burg, if we are to believe the complaint OF
Representative Jones, of this county, is sud-
denly developing as lamentable method of
comnittee-manufacture as might be ex-
pected from a city chap who had never
smeIled the new-mown hay or seen the dew
drops glitterlng on field and hedgerow in
the early morning. Mr.. Jones complains
that having special fitness for service on the
Corporation and Appropriation Committees,
because .fstudy of these questions. and an
honest desire to serve the public according
10 his qualifications, he has instead been ap-
pointed upon committees whose functions
are nominal, and where he can do no good
10 his constituents or to the State. In place
of sitting idly by as sinecure, the Allie
gheny county member yesterday arose in
the Hous- to plainly state his grievance.
There is the warrant for Mr.. Jones' action
that every legislator is entitled to desire and
to ask for the opportunities in which he
thinks he can best promote the public in
terest. Mr.. Jones states his convictions
and we may remark that the public enter
largely into them-that corporations should
be compelled to observe the Constitution
and the laws, and that the ten dency at Har
Iisburg hitherto has been to notorious dere-
LECTION in this regard. With this opinion
he believed he could do more good on the
Corporation Committee than anywhere else,
and it appears he confded the belief,
oh ff1rv ant IN ne
Speaker. He therefore expresses surprise
and disappointment that when the commit
tees came to be named. the old legend of
Abou Ben Adhem was not repeated, but
quite the reverse.
The public will very generally take kindly
to this earnestness on the part OF Legislators
to be placed where they can do the most
good to their constituents. 1t is commend
able feeling that can hardly be carried to an
extreme. At the same time there is this to
be said for the Speaker viz, that meeting
several hundred members, many of whom
are new to him, he cannot, even were he as
just as Aristides, or as wise as Solomon, so
discriminate between their qualifications at
the start and so accommodate their aspira-
tions, as to make in every instance the
double hit of placing a man not only on the
committee he is best fitted for, but also upon
the one where he most desires to serve.
Mr.. Jones is evidently an outspoken,
earnest member. Though disappointed as
to recognition on the committees. he will
still have the opportunity to render good
service on the floor when the matters in
which he feels particularly concerned come
up for debate and decision.

Fixed by Telephone.

Some people who use the telephone forget
that it reports every word they say before it.
This forgetfulness has caused trouble often.
The other day a married man met an old
friend down town, who asked him to dinner.
1t was late in the afternoon, so Benedict went
to the telephone to inform his wife that he
would not be home TO dinner. As he stood be-
fore the phone, with the receiver to his ear,
while Central called up his wife, the friend
remarked that he hoped he was not upsetting
Benedict's domestic plans, and, particularly,
not putting out bis wife.
"I'll fix the old woman easily enough" said
Benedict, with laugh. 1t was tiresomely long
watt and Benedict hung up the receiver. They
waited ten minutes. and the telephone bell did
not ring. Five minutes passed. and then Ben
edict flew to the phone as the bell rang.
Are you through yetT asked Central.
Haven't had chance to begin yet" replied
Benedict.
Someone answered" said Central.
"I'll try again"
Central did try and. try again, but Mrs. B.
could not be reached
Benedict didn't understand it till he got home
late that night in a mellow and happy state Of
mind.
You fixed me beautifully, Mr.. b. were his
wife's first words as he entered the room.

BETTER THAN EVER.
Facilities For Gathering the News Of the

Facilities For Gathering the News Of the
World Unexceled Anywhere.
Scottdale independents
Among the many large dailies of the country,
none has met with greater success or IS more
popular than THE PITTsBURG DISPATCH.
During the present year The DISPATCH will
occupy its fine new fire-proof building, which
has been furnished with the latest improved
printing machinery and complete new outfit in
every department 1t is the only newspaper in
Western Pennsylvania having special daily
cable report from all news centers in Europe
while the facilities for gathering home news
are unexcelled.
The department of commerce covers every
branch Of the market and the reports are ex-
haustiYe and accurate. The chief object is to
give the news accurately and discuss political
and social events with regard to truth and pub
lie interest only. That the efforts of the editors
have been successful is shown by the fact that
the regular daily edition has a circulation of
over 5000 copies each issue, while the Sunday
edition amounts to more than twice that num-
ber.- With the increased facilities THE DIS
PATCH will be better during the present year
than ever before. l
