PITTsBURG GAINING FAIRGROUNDS.

PITTSBURG GAINING FAIRGROUNDS.
The complaint used to be made that
Pittsburg worked too hard, took little
thought of amusement, and little time
for it, and that consequently the city did
not present any Startlin;; attractions to
visitO-s in search of gaiety and relief from
the mcnotOny of rural life. The COM
plant was not unj just. The contrast now
in the city's ability to amuse her own peO-
pie and her guests is very marked. 1t is
one of the many signs of Pittsburg's bud
ding metropolitanism that recreation in
many forms is receiving greater and greater
attention here every year. Look at the
theaters, for example. Fiye or six years
ago there was really and truly no first
class theater here now there are several
that challenge comparison with the finest
play houses in the country, and a good
many lesser houses that serve their pur-
pose very well. The Exposition has built
up for itself and for the city clientele in
the country for hundred miles or more
about Pittsburg.
And it is worth noting that those who
come to be amused at the Exposition, at
theaters or concerts, by sightseeing
or the like, mostly find a piper
to pay in Pittsburg's stores. So that the
fostering of entertainments in a city is
good business policy. Lots of people who
used to pass through PittSburg without
stopping when they were out for amuse-
ment, and spent their time and money in
here to their own advantage and ours
There is more to be done in the way of
balancing play with work in this toiling
town, but we can at least rejoice over the
improvement so far.

TWELVE PAGES
BLAINE FOR MKINLEY.

Secretary Blaine's Endorsement of Nc
Kinley and the cause he represents loses
nothing by being brief and to the point
The issue could not be more clearly defined
than in Mr.. Blaine'S words. 1t is protec-
ton and honest money against free trade
and dangerous meddling with the currency.
Mr. Blaine believes that Ohio will not
hesitate in its choice, and he desires
McKinley's triumph as sincerely as he
sees its necessity for the nations and the
psrty's good.
That Mr.. Blaine declines to risk his
recently regained health in the trying
ordeal of stump-speaking is not to be
wondered at, but at this season. and in
view of certain insinuations, this direct
and ample Endorsement of the Republican
candidate and platform is worth several
speeches. There is nothing small about
the Secretary of State He is above petty
jealOuSieS, and he loves to strike for the
cause he serves and his comrades in the
fiUbt

OUR MAIL POUCH.
Poor Logic.

| To the Editor of The Dispatch:
Mr.. MncQueary, in his letter of resigna-
tion, as published in yesterdays DISPATCH
uses the following language: THE Church
seems to have nothing but denunc1atlon Ms
and accommodations to offer in support OF
| her dogmas, and for such reasons hereby
renounce the ministry of the Protestant
| Episcopal Church, and ask that my renunc1-
alton thereof be at once noted by the eccle-
siastical authorities"
This is, indeed, very illogical, to say the
least of it; and unworthy of man of Mr..
MacQueary's learning and pretensions.
He was practically out of the Church
turned out by the sentence of the ecclesias-
ticai court-before his letter of resignation
was written and in the light of this fact his
reason for resigning (sic) is amusing, If 1t Is
anything that can be named
Again, his allegation that the Church
seems to have nothing but denunciatlons
and recommendations to offer in support
OF her dogmas. is as illogical, and alb
Slrd, surd as it is untrue. The apostles tiles
truths taught by Christ and His disci-
pies, and is received and hns been received
as such for 1,6OO years by the entire Christian
world.
One of these fundamental facts Mr.. Mac
Queary repudiates. He took solemn VOW
Mt his ordination, before God, that he be-
lIeVed and would defend every article of the
AelAbh. w IiCIi, GHOIClOlOJ ITO Sh"hSSN
his belief, he, as n man of ordinary honesty
and consistency, should have quietly with
drawn instead of trying to remain in an Or
ganlZation against which he had committed
the grossest and most wlifuI acts of treason.
No secular society would have tolerated
him moment longer than actually neces-
sary to ANONYMOUSLY expel him, had he
been guilty of a violation of any of the obli-
cations he assumed as precedent to becom-
ing member.
Why then should he, or any man, be per-
mltted to hold fellowship in the church,
while denying and fuming against the very
truths on which the auther of Christianity
and His own chosen followers built it's entire
supersUructure!
Mr.. MacQueary has taken the position of
the man who having been sentenced by his
government into exile for treason, should
write letter to the President resigning an
office he held, and giving for his reason for
resiSning, the fact that the government
would not condone his treason, and allow
him to continue his acts to defy the laws.

BICYCLES FOR ITINERANTs.
A Somerset County Pastor Travels From
One Charge to Another by Wheel.

A Somerset County Pastor Travels From
One Charge to Another by Wheel.
SOMERSET, Sept. 25.-[SpectdLl - Somerset
county, with its good roads, has made an
itinerant minister's lot IN easy one by pro-
viding its favorite pastor with bicycle.
The gentleman in question is Rev. G. Ii.
Finn, who every Sabbath holds services in
the morning at lockwood and in the after
noon at Garrett, when he is obliged to re-
turn to lockwood for his evening services
Trains do not run to suit these several
services, and there isn't horse in the
county who could stand the three trips
day, so the two congregations acted to-
gether and bought their athletic minister
modern bicycle.
As Rev. DR.. Finn is Nf the six-foot type of
manhood and as strong as he is high, the
bicycle is one of the high airy institutions.
Every Sunday the reverend gentleman may
be seen perched on Il little pigskin saddle,
skimming from one devoted compensation to
the other, with u Bible strapped in front of
the brake and a prayerbook under the seat,
neither OF which Dattlements saves him
from an occasional ungodly and most IT,
reyerenC header.

Europe Don't Like the Tariff.

Charles A. Thatcher and Henry Baumgard-

Toledo Blade. "The people across the water
are pretty sick over the Mckinley btll,' said
Mr.. Thatcher this morning. They are
watching the political situation in the States
with considerable anxiety. The tinplate
industry has ba blow from which it will
not recover, and the leading manufactur-
ers, with whom 1 talked, expressed the
opinion that the United States would soon
produce tinp late in large quantities. A
number OF the Sheffield cutlery works have
been closed down this summer, and there is
talk of various industries which have been
materially affected by the Mckinley bill re-
moving to this country"

Russia means, as she has always meant, to
get possession of Constantinople by force or

retention of her Indian possessions depend
upon her success in preventing the accom-

Turk guards the pass faithfully England is
content to leave him on post as sentry, but
she gives notice alike to Russia and Turkey
that If need shall arise she will take that
post herself,

Everything In Readiness for the Great
Struggie-A nCoal Famine Pre-
dicted-Miners Said to BE
Well Organized.

DEs MONIES, To-, April 21.. 1..-TSpecial Tele
gram to THE BEE. AS May 1 ap-
proaches 1t becomes apparent that the ten or
twelve thousand miners in the state are
likely to join the demand for the eight-hour
day, and a strike of several months duration
is probable, in which event there will be
something of coal famine. President Scott
OF the United mine workers of Iowa was in
the city today calling upon the officers Of the
local organizations and getting everything
In readiness for the great struggle. In an
swer to inquiries ne said.
~ es, sir; nearly every miner in Iowa will
drop his pick end shovel on the night of April
81 and will not resume work again until
eight hours are recognized as days work
by every operator in the union"
"How many men in Iowa will go outl'
vi do not at present know the exact num-
ber, but it will not be far from 10000"
rs the state well organized and will the
movement be conducted with skillp'
Yes, sir; we have been organizing the
miners in the state into two classes of local
unions, secret class, which is very large
and influential and secret from the public,
ana an organization which, although large, is
not widespread. In this movement all the
miners VIII strike at once, and the result can
be nothing but the establishment of the
eight hour movement
prominent mine operator of this city says
ne Is fearful that the men will go out and
that coal famine will result. There are in
the neigh borhood of five hundred or six hun
dred miners IL and around Des Moines, nearly
all OF whom, IL is expected, will strike May I.
