TWO RIVAL LUTHERAN sYNoDs.
The Conflicting Efforts in the Home Mission
Field Cause a Quarrel

BRADDoCK, Oct. 13-[Specidl.l 1.-The end of
the fourth days session of the Pittsburg
Synod of the English Lutheran Church
found the members OF the Synod still labor
ing at reports, ETC., though they expect to
finish the work tomorrow. The entire fore
noon session to-day was taken up in consid-
ering the report of the Committee on the
Presidents Report. The Synod approved OF
recommendation for special meeting of
the Board of Directors of the Theological
Seminary, at Gettysburg, to provide for the
immediate wants of the institution, and to
consi der the advisability of the removal of
the seminary, probably to Baltimore or
Washington. The following resolutions
were offered:
Resolved. That as soon as the Pittsburg
SYNOD General Conference), in its mission
ary operation, manifests spirit in harmony
with the action proposed, our Synod will
most heartily enter into such an arrange
ment.
This resolution was presented by a COM
mlttee on the strength of communica ton
from the Pittsburg Synod General Confer
ence), asking the Synod here to appoint a
committee to confer with similar COM
mittee appointed by that Synod for the pur-
pose OF avoiding conflict between the two
synods in their home missionary work.
Then followed a heated discussion, which
had been aroused by the fact that for many
years past as stated by members, the min
listers OF the General Conference have been
antagonising the work of the General Synod
men. The resolution was adopted.
The several charges of the Pittsbur9
Synod will hereafter get $3.50 each as an APP
portionment by the Synod. A resolution
purchase an iron church for the use of mis-
sions in this territory, providing the money
for the same Is guaranteed by individual
members of the Synod.

'Not one of the books,'' they declare,
''was complete; nearly 400 pages were
cut out of the ledgers for one year,
and fraudulent manipulations were
of almost daily occurrence; many loans
were obtained upon the fictitious affidavit
of the authority of the Board of Direct
ors, and these and nearly all the other
loans to the bank were omitted in the
books, and for years after insolvency, it
was concealed by falSifcations and manip-
ulations that an exhaustive examination
would certainly have discovered before it
was too late for remedy" This places
grave responsibility on the Comptroller of
the Currency, and, indeed, on the whole
Administration, in the inefficiency of the
enforcement of the national banking act.
On the other point of public interest,
namely, who got the missing two millions,
the report throws no light. That remains
as great mystery as ever. The precau-
tions taken to cover it up seem to defy
penetration. At all events the steps taken
TO shut off probing, short of this import
ant discovery, have so far prevented any
public knowledge of that extremely inter-
eSting feature of the robbery.

SHALLOW ECONOMIES.

In joining Governor Campbell. il its ef-
| fort to make political capital out of the an
nounced revision of wages at the Carnegie
works, the New York Post makes an as
sertion which exhibits a remarkable ig-
norance Of the history of industrial devel-
opment. at will be Observed" says the
Post, ''that the reason for giving this no
tice to the men is that there have been
many mechanical improvements and new
methods of manufacture introduced lately.
Such improvements invariably lead to dis
penSing with human labor
Such an assertion might be tolerated
from an Anarchist orator or a machine
breaking agitator of half-a-century ago;
but from journal which arrogates to itself
the especial representation of capital and
culture it is simply objectionable. The
entire industrial history of the century has
consisted of the production of mechanical
Improvements for the saving of labor in
nearly every department of work. If this
led to dispensing with human labor" the
number of laborers employed at the be-
ginning of the century should have been
dispensed with and labor nearly every
where should now be standing idle. Every
one knows the opposite is the case, and
that the era Of mechanical improvements
has brought with it a multiplication of the
demand for labor to an extent which
ninety years ago would have been incredi-
bic.
A free trade campaign which involves
such shallow economies as the assertion
that mechanical improvements dispense
with labor is in very bad way.

Social Chatter.

Mr.. AND MRS THEODORE HosrErrER are in
dulging now in the pleasurable excitement
and tiger are already familiar sight in the
East End.
AFTER a cessation for the summer the regu-
lation weekly dances at the Kenmawr begin
next Saturday evening. At these dances the
guests always include those staying in the
hotel and their friends.
TO-DAY the subordinate lodges of ALE
ghcny county A. o. U. W. entertain the
officers and members Of the Grand Lodge of
Pennsylvania by an excursion up the Ohio
OH the steamer Mayflower.
PLEASANT additions to the Kenmawr house
hold in the 1olm of new guests are daily
occurrence. Mrs. Spang, Miss Spang and
Mr.. Norman Spang are among the latest to
take up their residence in the hotel and Mr..
and Mrs Pierson and Mr.. Clarke and family
are expected this week.
Mrs. EDWARD L. CLARKE and family. of
Shady Lane, who have been in Europe for
the summer, are expected home to-day on
October weather has struck the ships of late,
there is some expectation that the steamer
may not bc entirely on time
TONIGHT at the Duquesne Theater Mrs. C.
J.. Magee will be hostess to an opera party of
II people. Two boxes will be occupied by n
party of Mr.. Charles L. Taylor's friends on
the same evening. Last night the Misses
Bennett, of McKeesport, had party of out
of-town people as their guests to hear "Tar
and Tartar"
The committee for the new Newsboy's
Home and Mr.. Keenan,, its chairman, are be-
ing exercised over the qualities of brick and
gray and black stone as proper material for
their coming building. Some want gray
stone, Mr.. C. L. Magee declares in favor of
brick, and a few artistic ones who forget
that beautiful things cost money insist that
black stone Is very ornamental and unusual,
and is what they want.

THE BATTLE ORDEAL

The settlement of suits in an Alder
mans office by free fight is not wholly
without precedent, and yet we do not un-
derstand that it is approved by the highest
authorities. Consequently the resort to a
general scrimmage in a trial before an
Eighteenth ward Alderman and the use of
such telling arguments as paper weights
and fists cannot be regarded as an ideal
CXemplification of the calm and dispas-
sionate dispensation of justice by the i'm
partial scales of the law. The fact that
one of the counsel in the case was knocked
out by the paper weight while the Court
was doubled up by receiving the same
missile in his stomach indicates that the
usually peaceful weight does double duty
in legal fray; but is somewhat indiscrim-
mate in selecting its victims.
After the dead, wounded and missing of
the battle are reclloned up it might be well
to appoint commission of inquiry to find
out whether the justice dealt out by ordeal
Of battle is OF is not as valuable as that
secured by the usual methods of Justices

THE CLEVELAND EXPERIMENT.

The experiment in progress at Cleve-
land, O., in the line of municipal reform
is Of such interest as to warrant an ex-
tended statement of its character and
progress. Prior to the Introduction of the
reform, one trouble inCleveland was much
like that in Pittsburg before the adoption
of the charter, namely, the scattering Of
responsibility among no less than thirteen
boards, the absence of power on the part
of the Mayor, and the difficulty of locating
the blame for corruption or incompetence.
The plan of reorganization adopted was
widely different from that of our charter,
although it proceeds on the same theory
of concentrating authority and response
bility. 1t is called the Federal plan, not
from any character of federation in its
constitution, but from the resemblance of
the executive branch of the government
to that of the United States Government
The Mayor is made the real executive head
of the city. His cabinet, Board of Con-
troll as it is called, consists of the heads of
the six departments into which the city
business is divided, who are selected by
him subject to the approval of Councils,
which are confined to purely legislative
functions
In commenting on the favorable opera
ton of this plan during the six months it
has been in force, the writer who de-
scribes it mentions two facts which may
be important to an accurate estimate of
its value. The first is that at the election
last spring great interest was taken in the
election of the men who were to put the new
charter in operation, and as conse-
quence the best city government known
for years was established. Second, the
''old gangs' are very bitter against the
new city government, and will leave no
stone unturned at future elections to sup
plant it by one SubServient to their inter
eStS
This shows the vital and essential factor
in all reform. One form of government
may undoubtedly be superior to another
for the dispatch of business and the loca-
ton of responsibility. But no form can
be so bad as to prevent good city govern
ment if the people take care to elect COM
petent and hoH5st men to Office; and no
form can have such virtue as to prevent
bad government if the people negligently
permit the choice of incompetent or dis
honest men. The real guarantee of good
city government lies in the activity and
intelligence of the people. In comparison
with that the organization of departments
and the location of official res possibility
are minor matters.

THE VOTE ON THE CONVENTION.

Indications are decisive to the effect that
the vote in favor of the Constitutional
Convention will be very small No con-
siderable body of citizens has expressed
itself in favor of the convention since it
was first proposed, up to the present; and
the general verdict of popular opinion is
that it is useless and dangerous idea.
The sole hope of those who favor the
convention is that while the vote for it may
be small the vote against it will be smaller
This idea is based upon two supposed
possibilities. First, tickets will not be
furnished those desiring to vote against the
convention; second, that those opposing it,
on the supposition that it is dead issue,
will neglect to vote at all. The first ex-
pectation, as THE DISPATCH has already
shown, is ill-founded. The form of tickets
required by law must contain the votes for
OF against the Constitutional Convention,
and any other form will be illegal
To the other idea, although it has very
frail foundation, the people should exercise
a general care to record their votes on the
convention proposition. They should see,
if any ballots are prepared on the question
in the partial form proposed, that they are
thrown out as required by law; and every
citizen who has recognized the fact that
the convention is needless and onlv opens
the door to the emasculation of the f,lnda-
mental law should take pains to cast his
vote against it.
If this is done the Constitutional Con-
vention proposition will be about the worst
beaten issue that has been submitted To
the people of Pennsylvania for many
years.

THE KEYSTONE PLUMBER.

The report of the experts who have been
investigating the Keystone Bank failure
disclOses what was pretty thoroughly
known before, that the deliberate work of
bank wrecking was carried on. The bank
was insOlYent before Marsh and Bardsley
commenced their operations, the astual
deficit being over s, 100000. The compile
ton of the work of making away with the
funds caused the disappearance of all the
remaining assets of the depositors and
those which Bardsley added to it from the
State and city funds.
Two points with regard to this failure
interest the general public outside the city
where depoSitors and shareholders have
been so thoroughly plundered. The first
is rs to the adequacy of the national bank
examinations. On this point the report of
the experts leaves no room for favorable
doubt. The condition of the bank was
such that thorough examination could not
have failed to discover the insolvency.

WOMEN AT THE WORLDS FAIR.
Mrs. Potter Palmer Explains the Nature of
Their Separate Exhibit.

CHICAGO Oct. 13-The Press League, COM
posed of active women newspaper writers
throughout the United States, was addressed
at a largely attended meeting in the Audi
torium to-day by Mrs. Potter Palmer. Her
subject was 1.-THE Relation of Women to the
Worlds Fair" Mrs. Palmer said the Board
of Lady Managers desires to develop to the
fullest extent the grand possibilities which
have been placed within its reach. The
board wishes to mark the first participation
of woman in an important National enter
prise by preparing an object lesson to show
the progress mode by woman in every
country in the world during the century in
which educational and other privileges have
been granted her. 1t is the aim of the
Board to present a complete picture of the
present condition of woman and to make a
showing of her achievements in all depart
ments, the inventions she has made, the
avenues of employment she may enter, and
the educational courses best fitted to pre-
pare her for farther advancement.
The Board has decided not to attempt to
separate the exhibit of women's work from
that of men, because women's work is side
by side with that of men in all factories OF
the world. 1t would be impossible to divide
the finished result of their labor; but exhibit
ors will be asked to declare the proportion
of male and female work in all products
they send to the exposition, and the juries
of award will have women members in pro-
portion to the amount of female work repre-
sented by the articles to be judged.
