A HOT RAIN STORM.
Death Valley Is One of the Best Places for
Man to Avoid.

Man to Avoid.
Chicago Inter-ocean.l
1t is hoped that Mr.. W. S. Barton, of Cali
fornia miner and prospector, is a verac ious
gentleman. A storm of boiling hot rain Is
calculated to take the Juice out of credulity,
but as he locates it in Death Valley an ex-
haustive argument Is not necessary to con-
vince minds that Mr.. Barton at least has
nodding acquaintance with truth. queer
region is Death Valley, and the discriminat-
ing Forty-niners who had u nice sense of the
fitness of names made no mistake in chris
tening the sink of the Amargosa river. The
valley is In the county of Inyo, between the
Panamint Mountains and the Amargosa
range, and it is there that the Amargosa
river is swallowed up and forever after lost
to sight. In the deepest part the bed lies $50
feet below the level of the sea, and the rocky
walls on either side rise 800 feet above its
level
The entire valley Is a desert, the air ex-
cessively dry and suffocatingly hot. No man
that it is impossible to sustain life long
enough to traverse its awful waste, which is
eight miles wide and 40 miles long. The air
Is poisonous as well as intensely hot, the
showing temperature of 1852 1t was while
attempting an exploration of this valley
with the thermometer 115o at midnight-that
Mr.. Barton and his party were showered by
boiling water and escaped scalding only by
getting under close camp cover. Death
Valley is one of the best places in the world
to avoid, and it is difficult to surmtse what
reward even the most adventurous explorer
could hope for in getting upon its cruel
sands. 1t is presumed that the valley is of
volcanic origin, and that unextinguished
subterranean fires render it so fatal to man
and beast,

TIE ROAD REFORM.

The fall is rapidly moving forward to
the season when the prevailing rule
throughout the country will be roads of a
muddiness impracticable for heavy loads,
and during a portion of the time impass-
able for nearly all vehicles. This has been
the accepted condition of things for so
long that it is generally regarded as part
of the order of nature from which it is
useless to rebel 1t will certainly take
more than the coming seasonO of bottomleSs
country roads, to arouse the people to the
value and economy Of improved highways
that shall be available for all sorts of traffic
at all seasons of the year.
Yet the difficulties of overcoming the
inertia of public opinion should not be
permitted to sink the importance of this
issue into oblivion. Every example where
durable highways have been constructed
conveys the proof of their value to agri-
culture and through it indirectly to COM
merce 1t has been said and with good
deal of force, that the agriculture of the
Central States is handicapped by the sys-
TEN of freight charges which gives the
cheap and productive farms of the West
an advantage in proportion to the distance
ranging from 10 to 20 cents per hundred
pounds Yet it is fact which every one
can recognize who takes the trouble to
consider the matter, that system of high
ways which enabled the farmer to haul his
products to market in heavy loads at all
seasons of the year, would effect more
than that saving on the primary cost of
getting the products of the farm within
easy reach of the nearest purchasers.
The materials of constructing solid high
ways are within easy reach of nearly every
county of the State. THERE'S certainly no
reason why the rural districts in the region
surrounding Pittsburg should not enjoy
roads of the high chacacter of the old Ma
tional turnpike before it was permitted to
fall into decay.

VIRGIN SOIL GIVEN AWAY.

The President has thrown open to set
tlement, after Tuesday next, 266, ,243 acres
of land in Oklahoma. The scenes enacted
when the first Oklahoma land was thrown
open to the public are fresh in the mem
ory of the people, and it is expected that
they will now be repeated, hut on a
milder scale. The experiences of the first
settlers of the Territory cannot fail to
have restraining effect on the ardor of
the actual settler. But the land specula-
tors will be on the ground early.
The territory to be opened is fertile and
capable of supporting large population.
1t is well watered and the soil is virgin
1t needs only to be understood to be made
q valuable addition to the producing
capacity Of the Union. The main trouble
with the population of Oklahoma has
been that they neither understood the
country, nor the conditions leading to sue
cess there, nor were the majority of them
more than mere spectators hoping to reap
rewards through the holdings they OBJ
tained for song. As yet there is no
scarcity of land for actual settlement for
agricultural purposes, but the throwing
open of territory which has been reserved
draws attention in its direction and ulti-
mately results in its development which
otherwise might not occur for several dec
AIDES.

BELLAMYISM AND NATIoNALIsM.
1t Is Not Cooperation and It Abolishes
All Competition for Profit.

l6 Is Not Cooperation and IL ADoIsnes
All Competition for Profit
Detroit Journall
1t is surprising that when 50 much is said
about Bellamyism and nationalism that any
one discussing or referring to it should have
vague or incorrect view of it. Yet para
graph going the rounds and credited to the
New York Tribune shows an inadequate or
false conception of the fundamental idea in
the new scheme to reform society. A large
number of families in q suburb of Chicago
finding it difficult to get enough skillful
domestic help resolved to abandon their
household meals and to establish co-opera-
tive kitchen and dining room. This was
purely economic plan based solely on the
idea that 1t is cheaper to obtain ones meals
at cost in a large establishment than in sep
arate households.
From various causes the affair was given
up, the chief reason being that the families
preferred taking their meals under their
own roofs and to consult their tastes more
exactly than they could at o general table.
But the ending Of the plan is described as
practical failure Of Bellamyism. Bellamy-
ism, however, Is not scheme OF co-opera-
tion. Cooperation is merely a convenient
arrangements for reducing the cost of con-
sumption by saving the profits. Bellamy
ism, or nationalism, Is an entire equality of
income. As consequence, an entire
equality Of income abolishes competition,
profits and every other feature of the pres
ent industrial and capitalistic condition.
Under cooperation the members of the as
sociation are not limited in their income,
and consequently not in their expenditure.
One man may earn and spend $4,000 year
if he likes; another only one-tenth that
amount. The only equality between the
two is that they both buy their goods at
cost. Inequality of condition, luxury and
frugality, are not affected by a cooperate
scheme.

burg should rule out the other acts, a gen.
eral law might be provided under which
the opening and Improvement of streets
and the building of sewers would be pos
sible. 1t was given special application to
Pittsburg by clause repeating all special
legislation with regard to this city on the
same subject. The question whether the
absence of such a repeating clause with
regard to Philadelphia legislation leaves
that city under the old acts is what is
bothering the proverbial acumen of the
Philadelphia lawyers.
But suppesing that Philadelphia is SUBJ
ject to the new law, is not that quite in
accordance with the needs of the situa-
ton? Is not what is sauce for the munich
pal goose of Pittsburg equally sauce for
the municipal gander of Philadelphia?
If the very rigid views of the Supreme
Court make it necessary to protect the
citizens of Pittsburg by these stringent
measures should not the citizens of Phila-
delphia have the same protection? And
if the old Pittsburg street acts were
knocked out by an unreasonable view,
should not Philadelphia join Pittsburg in
sweating over the results of the judicial
hypercriticism?

NO PROPER CONNECTION.

The proposition that the Allegheny
street railway lines should pay up their
dues to that city is indisputable; but the
accompanying proposition that the grant
of new franchises should be made de-
pendent on their doing so, is far from be-
ing correct The grant of franchises for
providing transit on the streets should be
controlled solely by the consideration of
the best and cheapest service for the peo-
pie. There may be a variety of opinion
as to the best way of securing that end;
but it is clear that the payment of car,
street cleaning and dividend taxes has no
relation to it. Not only is it entirely uncon-
nected with the only criterion in the grant
of new franchises; but it is obviously not
the way to collect public dues from the
street car companies. Every city must
have the means of enforcing these taxes
1t has officers who are paid to collect what is
due it. If the corporations are recalci-
trant there is abundance of property
within reach for an enforced collection.
To let such taxes run on and then to en-
force them by the device of making their
payment the consideration of new priv
ilegeS is a striking example of the way
things ought not to be done
The statement of taxes uncollected for
various periods as far back as twenty-three
years offers very fair field for stringent
inquiry why the officials of Allegheny City
have not done their duty. But to connect
the payment of what the city has right
to collect with the grant of further fran
chises as a sort of bribe to the corpora
tionS to pay their debts is little short Of
puerile.

The Country Is Favored So Long as Pro-
lection Is Afforded to Producers.
Seattle Transcript
While the country has been making rapid
strides in population, 1t has been growing
rich at 3 rate hardly less remarkable. Not
only has the aggregate wealth multiplied
the per capita ratio has also steadily ad-
vanced. According to recent census buIle-
tin the estimated true valuation of real and
personal property. based on assessed valua-
ton, has increased in the last four decades
from sl6 159 6l6068 in 1860 to s82 6l0 900 900 in
1890 The figures are as follows: 1860, sl6,-
$50 O6S 1870 S8O O68 51s 5O7 $780, 64 OO0 900;
$780, SCI, $40 100000.
A glance at the above statistics betrays
the astonishing fact that the increase be-
tween 1880 and 1850 was sl7 96s, 600 900, or more
than s., 600 600, 900 greater than the total val
uation for 1s60. The aggregate wealth OF the
country is now nearly four times as great as
it was when the cival war broke out. This
seems the more remarkable when we remem-
Der that our industries were paralyzed
and our resources reduced by four years
of war, and business was again pros
trated in 1873 by season of panic,
depression and uncertainty prolonged
through many months and universal in its
lation is largely due to immigration one
would naturally anticipate decrease-orat at
least no great advance-in the per capita
wealth, even though there be rapid growth
case. The per capita wealth in lS60 was s5l4;
in 1890, 81, 900; Il gain Of nearly 100 per cent.
Verify the Yankee nation is a favored one,
and will be SO long as our legislators shun
wildcat financial legislation and extend due
protection to our manufactures, agriculture,
labor and commerce.

Some of Them Complain of the Crusade
Against Them at Homburg.
Chicago TrIbune.I
A dispatch from London states that Ameri-
cans returning from Germany are complain
ing bitterly because of the crusade made
against them at Homburg by the swell En-
glish and led OF instigated by the Prince of
Wales. The announcements made In this
dispatch, however is altogether too sweep
ing. 1t should have read "toady Americans
returning from Germany" 1t is not only
probable but certain that many Americans
have visited Germany this year who
know nothing and care nothing
for the Prince of Wales and his fawnino
courtiers, and who have carried them
selves with dignity and honor us American
citizens, and have secured respect for the
American name among the Germans by
their conduct. There is, however, numer-
GUS class OF Americans from the toady rich,
and mainly from New York, who have
played spaniel to the Prince of Wales and
his set, and demeaned themselves ridicu-
lously to secure notice from him, and who
have spent their money lavishly and re-
sorted TO various disgusting artfh "es to COM
mend themselves to the swell English CO.
terie which has been sojournlng this season
at Homburg.
1t should be matter of general satisfac-
tion that the Prince of Wales, cloyed with
their batteries and disgusted with their
fawning obsequiousness, at last has soured
on them and given notice to his baccarat
clique to snub and ostracize them. They
will have no sympathy at home. They have
nothing but vulgarity and money to COM
mend them and commendation of this sort
goes no farther in this country than it does
in Homburg. Dignifled and selfrespocting
Americans would not be exposed to snubs
from his Royal Nibs for the reason that they
would never seek his company after the
revelations of his real character recently
made in court of justice. The class of
people whom he has snubbed are entitled to
no more consideration at home than they
received abroad, and their punishment. will
be approved here with quite as much salts
faction as the London Times manifests,
while intelligent foreigners will know how
to make the proper discrimina tions.

AGAINST A THIRD PARTY.
Tho Alliance Is Not a Unit on the Political
Issues.


Chicago Inter Ocean.1
The st. Louis convention of Alliance men
opposed to third partyism and sub-Treasury
loanism is of Southern origin. The purpose
of the active spirits of the convention is to
prevent a stampede from the forces of the
regular Democracy of the Southern States.
But it must be plain to the Kansas or
Nebraska man who is member of the
Alliance that if "better results can be
achieved for the agricultural people by
voting inside OF old party lines than by form
ing a third party in the South the same
must be true in the North. If the SUBJ
Treasury scheme be regarded as ridiculous
by any considerable body of Alliance men
in the South, surely it cannot be carried to
effect by the votes OF a single class of the
community in two or three Northwestern
States.
Already it is plain that the Alliance is not
q unit on political issues. 1t contains "free
and unlimited" coinage men and men who
favor free but not unlimited coinage, men
who hold the sub-Treasury scheme to be
infinitely practical and men who regard it
as superlatively visionary; men who are out
and ont protectionists and men who are
plain free traders; pen who are pro-
hibitionists and men who are opposed to all
sumptuary laws: men who think that
veterans of the Union army and the widows
and orphans of deceased Union soldiers
should be pensioned and men who speak of
the pension system as a ''steal:" men who
approve of the general drift of Republican
legislation and men who regard all laws
made in pursuance of Republican policy
with hatred. 1t does not seem possible to
unite elements so discordant by the single
bond of discomfort, md discomfort is the
sole bond of unity woven by the politicians
who would make the Alliance "a third
party"

A p1scouRAG1NG RESEMBLANCE.

1t is interesting but not very encour-
aging to find the Fitzsimmons case re-
peating the feature of the notorious Tas-
colt case in the capture of large number
of criminals supposed to be Fitzsimmons
at widely separated points at the same
time.
This irresistibly suggests the result of
the Tascott case, in which although there
was reward many times that offered for
Fitzsimmons the murderer got off scot
free. The fact that when the latter
breaks the restraint of our new jail all
sorts of unknown and shady people are
at the disposal of our authorities except
the man who is wanted, gives us little
prospect that justice in our county will
get its clutches on the man who has most
wantonly defied it for many years.
Of course there is still hope that Fitz-
simmons may be recaptured; but if he is
it will be due to luck and not to the care
and efficiency of the public guardianship
of criminals in this county.
