EVERYBODY CLAIMED 1T
The All-at-Sea Feeling Before the
Committee Met

WAsHINGTON, Nov. 23.-Many of the
representatives of the rival cities
were busy in their rooms last night
preparing the speeches they were
TO make before lihe. committee
today. The other delegates were test
ing the power of earnest argument on
members of The national committee.
The work had been SO divided among
the members of the delegations that
each of them had received an assign
ment for the evening, and to those who
were expected to complete their even
1ng's work at an early hour was as
signed the duty of meeting the members
OF the national committee who were to
arrive on the morning trains.
These were up at an early hour this
morning on guard at the hotel Hobbies.
Many of them were armed with check
lists of members of the national COM
mittee, with the supposed bias of each
man indicated on them. No complete
canvass of the committee had been pos
sible. and even the partial canvass that
had been made had not succeeded in
committing many of the members to a
choice. So the lists varied widely. If
they had been compared they would
have shown some Of the committeeman
credited 10 three and four different
cities.

Diphtheria Endemic.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 2S.-Diphtheria is
raging in Belleville. H., and amounts
almost to an epidemic. 1t broke out in
September and since that time its raw
ages have been very severe and large
number of deaths have occurred. 1t has
assumed such alarming proportions that
large number of citizens have with
drawn their children from the public
and private schools. 1t is estimated that
in its various stages there are between
20) and 500 cases in Belleville and
vicinity.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-The head
quarters of the cities that are candidates
for selection were almost deserted dur
ing the morning, but the lobby of the
hotel was crowded with men, nearly all
of whom were in state of suppressed
excitement. Some anxiety was mani
tested among the Ohio people concern
ing the arrival of Maj. Mckinley, who
wired last night that he would arrive in
Washington from Boston before the
meeting. The wine that the California
delegation has dispensed so lavishly,
and the cigars and badges that repre-
sentatves of other cities have so
thOughtfully pressed on members of the
national committee and newspaper men
were not visible this morning, and
there WAS great disappointment in the
ranks of the camp followers.

OHaaha.s Plea.

Judge c. r. Scott, of Omaha, spoke
for that city. He ridiculed the other
competitors. New York had had her
Burchard after the West had elected
Blaine. and San Francisco had nothing
beyond except China laughterl: Chi
cago was rapaciOus. To get the fair
she promised the West to help get the
National Republican convention in
1892. The West had been green enough
to believe the promise, and voted for
Chicago. If Chicago now took
the convention it would be
a case of dignified larceny.
whipped of justice anu should not.
[Applause.l Senator Henderson fol-
lowed Scott. Senator Carey, of Wyo-
ming, spoke for Omaha also. 1t was, he
said, the gateway of the new empire
West and North. There were six new
states voting next time for president,
and should be stimulated by the conven-
ton TO become Republican surely.
John Nj. Thurston pleaded for Omaha.
After 1900 the Republicans of the West
would no longer ask for conventions,
but would be masters of the political
situations.
Missouri being next called upon,
Chauncey |. Fllley, who was warmly
greeted, made ringing and amusing
speech on behalf of st. Louis. He came
not to make all appeal, but to ask JUS
tice; not to plead for mossback state in
the hope of changing a mossback vote,
but to claim the convention for what
st. Louis had done in the past in elect
ing Republican congressman, and max
ing possible the organization of a Re-
publican house without a postage stamp
of help from the party elsewhere, or
from Wall street.

LEA ON THE TAX BILL.

Mr.. II. c. Lea's letter, published else.
where in this issue, is moderate and in the
main sensible review of the character of the
bill for local taxation pending in the Legis-
lature. A good deal of the oratory about
"inquisitorial assessments" and Spying
into private affairs" in connection with this
bill has been overdone. Mr.. Lea strays in
that direction once or twice, but most of his
argument is pertinent and moderate.
His strongest point is with regard to the
certainty that the attempt to impose taxes
on all classes of personal property is likely
to defeat itself. MANY States have systems
of inquiry just as inquistorial as this; but
they present the same case Of practical
escape of personal property from taxation,
with the corresponding hardship that those
who return their personal property honestly
are placed at a disadvantage in COM
parison with those who make dishonest
returns. He is also forcible in bringing
out the point that the landowner is bene-
flied by the prosperity of capital and busl-
ness so much that to place any premium on
capital and business to locate elsewhere is
more injurious to real estate than an equi-
table system of taxation on land.
Mr.. Lea indorses the effort of the bill to
make the great corporations pay their share
of the public burden, but he strikes home
blow BY saying that it would be much
better ''to devise measures for preventing
the Determinations in transportation which
exercise so baneful an influence on the pros
perity of the public for the enrichment of
the few" The Legislature should do this
public duty, which it has heretofore refused
to do in violation of its constitutional duty.
Mr.. Lea's calm and sensible way of crIti-
cising this bill is likely to have much more
effect than the spreading of declamatory
circulars demo uncing the bill as Infamous"
and "inquisitorlal."

SENATOR EpNrNps RETIREMENT.

The unexpected resignation of Senator
Edmuuds, as announced yesterday, estab-
fishes the exceptional character of his politi-
cal career. In most respects the Vermont
Senator has stood above the ordinary and
patty considerations of politics, and in his
retirement from public life he presents the
exception to the proverbial rule in politics
Senator Edmunds' career in the Senate is
one which in creditable features has been ex-
celled by none; and the only one that can be
regarded as rivaling il in the exhibition of
high qualities was the much shorter one Of
his personal friend and political opponent,
Senator Thurman. For broad views, clear
constitutional principles and unimpeach-
able integrity. the quarter-century record of
George F. Edmunds in the Senate is alike
an evidence of his high character and an
honor to the country which he served.
Whatever are the private reasons which
induce Senator Edmunds' retirement to
private life. the country will be sorry to lose
his services And that sorrow will be shared
by his political opponents equally with his
political friends.

that drawn up by Mr.. Buckalew prevailed.
1t made the absolute ;limit seven per cent,
with this additional clause. The way in
which this clause was adopted, as moditi-
cation of the original proposition, agrees
with its language in pointing to the con-
clusion that the absolute limit was raised to
seven per cent, and that the limit of two
per cent first proposed was retained with the
modification that it could be exceeded by a
vote OF the people.
As to the financial policy advocated by
the Controller, as we'll as bv numerous other
gentlemen, in showing how the bonds may
be used, there has been little dispute. 1t Is
clear that the money in the sinking fund
can be employed in the purchase of these
bonds, provided their conStitlrtiondlity Is
placed beyond doubt by a uote Of the people.
No one mas yet offered any reason why this
method of placing the status of the bonds
beyond ali dispute should not be adopted.
No one has made any attempt to answer the
obvious argument that even if the people
should vote against the issue OF bonds
which is unlikely if the matter is presented
in proper form and is shown to be necessary
they have the right, if they prefer, to pay
the money by direct taxation. In view of
this fact, the determination to take course
of doubtful constitutionality at best is
something remarkable and well nigh incom-
prehensible,

THEY OUGHT NOT TO SPLIT.

The inumation that the conference of coal
miners and operators will split deeisively on
the eight-hour question is to be regretted. A
gathering which presents such happy con-
trsst to the strife in the coke regions. in try
ing to settle questions of wages by reason,
instead Of force. ought not TO be abandoned
without an effort
1t will be hard for outsiders to see why
the operators should permit conference to
60 to pieces. because they will not listen to
the eight-hour proposition, where the wages
Of industry are paid so largely by the ton
mined II the miners are willing to work
eight hours. and be paid for what coal they
mine iu that time. why should the operators
object? 1t is true that tn" change may re-
ouire some readjustment in the scales
OF work paid by the day or week.
But whatever difficulty is comprised BY that
necessity should not be permitted to inter
pose an absolute veto on the whole eight
hour system Besides that, there is peril
uence and force in the argument OF the
miners that the adoption of the eight-hour
shifts will enable the operators to get abso-
lutely more work out OF their machinery
than bv the Ien-hour shifts. If business
should ever be active enough they can by
establishing three shifts run their engines
continuously.
It certainly is TO be hoped that the con-
ference will not go to pieces on this issue.
There is surely sufficient merit in the prop
Usition to permit fair and reasonable dis
cussion o. its details

LONG CAREER ENDED.

The death Of the Hon. Russell Errett,
announced in yesterdays DISPATCH, is an
event that attracts attention from the long
public services and prominence in politics
OF deceased. No man living at the time of
his death had been prominently with
the journalism of Pittsburg before him,
while his activity in local and State poll
tics dates back to the anti-slavery period.
Since the war his incumbency of important
positions in the State, and his services as
Congressman, mark the prominent events in
a long aud useful career.
While active in practical politics and a
strict party man, no allegations were ever
made against Major Errett's integrity. He
was well known to have never used official
position for his pecuniary profit, and the
honorable eulogy can be pronounced upon
him that after lifetime spent in the public
service be died a comparatively poor man.

COMING THEATRICAL EVENTS.

ONE of the greatest evidences of the popular
success of the play, THE Still Alarm" Is that
it created as great sensation in London, if not
greater than it has in this country. The
scenes relating to the life of New York fire.
men are equally apt as relating to the IRE
service of London, and whether the scene be
set in New York or London it is an admirable
picture of vigorous phase of mems duty,
and calls attention to the excellent work and
discipline of brave set of fellows. The scene
in the central fire station showing how the GAL
liant fireman passes his life and does his duty in
a great city is as instructive as it is interesting
and always delights sympathetic and highly
sensitive audience. The working up of this
scene from the quiet repose of inactivity to the
sensational episode with the real fire engine
and real horses IS, perhaps, the best bit of dra-
matte work ever seen upon the stage. With
most of the realistic productions the stage car
penter and scene painter make the mimic imi-
tation of the things presented, but here we
have the real thing-a real engine, ready il
necessary, to be placed in active service; real
horses, who, in their nightly services on the
stage are well, if not better, trained than the
animals in actual service. Aside from the real
istc features, the play is cleverly constructed.
