WHERE OUR GOLD GOES.

An interesting illustration of the way in
which the financial increments in one part
of the world extend themselves to other
hemispheres is presented by the present
specie movement. The balance of ex-
change is in favor of this country, but
gold continues to flow to Europe. This is
because Russia, for purposes of her own,
is drawing upon Europe for gold. To
make good that draft the European bank
ers are buying gold in this country, even
when the exchange inficts slight loss.
An interview with Baron Bleichroder,
the great German banker, reports him as
saying that the United States has no cause
for uneasiness over this draft on her coin
reserves. Indeed, he thinks the United
States will have the benefit of it presently.
He says Russia is not drawing gold for war
purposes, which is not to be expected for
at least three years, as that power has just
commenced arming its troops with new
rifle. But the Russian Government, being
unable to negotiate an extension of its
maturing debts, has got to pay certain
Dutch loans, and is calling on the gold for
that purpose. When these loans are paid
the United States, as strong creditor in
the balance of trade, will find the specie
flowing its way.
1t is fortunate for business in this coun-
try that the Russian financial campaign did

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION,

The issue as to whether the dangerous
poisoning in the vicinity of Sharpsburg was
caused by eating smoked sturgeon or not
bids fair to be an interesting one, though
difficult TO settle. On one hand is the
statement that numerous people purchas-
ing that Wand at different places exhibited
the same symptoms. Against this stands
the fact that other people ate the same
article at about the same time without any
deleterious effects.
Of course, the only public interest is in
a fair determination of the question of
poor and healthy foods. The whole
sale dealer who cured and sold the
fish has very properly offered to pay
for an analysis, and if it is found to
contain deleterious ingredients promises to
abandon its sale. Such an analysis should
be made, as well as a. thorough investiga-
ton of the circumstances accompanying
all cases of illness noted If smoked stur-
geon is dangerous food the fact should be
established beyond peradventure; if it is
harmless, that fact should also be made
clear

THE SCHOLARS HOLIDAY.

The idea of a monster picnic for the
school children, as outlined in our local
columns this morning, is one which, un-
dOubtedly, will meet with the approval of
both parents and teachers The DIS
PATCH has, ere this, pointed out the
necessity for some such affair to be held
annually, and takes pleasure in furthering
the present plan. In the past, when the
school children of this city wished to have
an outing, they were compelled to 60 to
Allegheny, and while they were always
welcomed, the parks of that city were not
large enough to accommodate the boys and
girls from both cities.
There may be q few who will say
that the school children have already
enough holidays If number alone We're
to be taken into consideration this might
prove true But there are many so-called
holidays during the school year on which
no amusement is provided for child and
he is left to his own devices The fact
that the proposed outing is scheduled for a
Saturday this year will have some effect in
making trial possible By all means let
the attempt to equal our sister city's
"Jubilee Day" be made
One thing should be remembered. While
the affair is primarily intended for pub
lie school children those who do not go to
our national institutions should be made
welcome. Young blood, whether in school
or factory. needs sunshine and fresh air
occasionally.

HOW TO MEET COMPETITORS.

The Baltimore ManufGcturers' Gazette,
whose especial function tits to report the
progress of manufacturing enterprises in
the South, reports the organization of a
million-dollar corporation to manufacture
steel at Birmingham, Ala 1t is to be sup
posed that an enterprise of that magnitude
has not been entered into without due in
yestigation of the availability of the ma
terials of that section for Steel-making.
Heretofore this has been doubtful il not
negative quantity; but it is necessary to
recognize that if actual experience should
demonstrate the ability of turning out
good steel in the Alabama region, power
full competitor of the Pittsburg steel inter-
est will be brought into the field
This is perfectly legitimate enterprise,
and Pittsburg can only regard the pros
pect of additional competition with the
friendly rivalry that is the feature of hon.
orable competition. But one of the first
and most legitimate acts of an interest
when confronted by new competition is to
consider how it can strengthen itself so as
to be superior to loss of trade. This is the
evident point which Pittsburg needs to
consider in view of the possible growth of
a large and active steel industry in the
South.
The advantage which the Southern steel
industry will have, if it establishes its in
dustrial right to existence, will be the close
proximity of ores and coal Pittsburg
cannot secure such proximity; but it can
do what is the close equivalent to it,
namely. establish continuous water trans
portatio1 between them. If it is made
possible to bring ore vessels to the furnaces
and mills of Western Pennsylvania, the
economy of Northern Alabama in the
transportation of materials will be more
than counterbalanced by the superior
quality of the Pittsburg products and our
central position with reference to their
distribution.
In other words, the extension of lake
navigation to Pittsburg means that West
ern Pennsylvania can be placed above all
competitors in the iron, steel and coal in
dustries. That fact should unite every
citizen of Western Pennsylvania in the
support of the project.

ance of the idea "Our country right or
wrong extended to the allies of his
copmtry-secured a practical declaration
not that the charges against Russia are
untrue, but that it is the kind of truth that
France will not listen to just now.
Of course, no other nation can turn up
its nose at France for this exhibition. 1t
is common to all nations that those who
undertake to tell unpopular truths must
expect to be cried down. No longer ago
than last year, the members of the Re-
publican party who dared to say that the
party leaders were taking false course
underwent practically the same expert
ence. They were cIied down; but the
event has proved that they were not far
wrong. 1t is rather unfortunate trait of
universal human nature that the man who
tries to tell unpopular truths will not be
given hearing.

OUR MAIL POUCH.
Briggs Critic Criticized.


To the Editor of The Dispatch:
In the criticism of cdr. Briggs on the
Biblen by DR.. Sutherland, as reported in this
mornings DISPATCH, he says the urgent
bold speech" of Christ "witfout one word of
caution" was SEARCH the Scriptures" This
text, John ", 80, is one Of the most doubtful
interpretations in the New Testament, and
is the one on which Dr.. Briggs could most
safely rest his case. If those who
are interested in the discussion of
this question r1ised by DR.. Briggs will
get a COPY of the New Version of the
Scriptures they can see that this text so con-
fidently quoted is changed from the inapera-
tue to the indicative mood, and reads: "Ye do
search the Scriptures because We think that
in them We have eternal life" and then
Christ adds as rebuke OF such "thinking,"
aye will not come unto me that you may
have life."
In Lange's great Commentary, after giving
the arguments in favor of the imperative
mood, he says: "These arguments are in
themselves insufficient, and must give way
to the one consideration that the connection
requires the Indicative. Among Bible critics
of ancient and modern times, who agree
with the New Version in not adopting the
imperative, "Search the Scriptures as
given by DR.. Sutherland, may be found such
names as Cyril, Erasmus, Beza, Bengal,
Barnes and many others. In view of this
conflict of sentiment among Bible critics,
the counsel of the Church, in which the
writer has long been a minister, "Not to at
tempt to settle doubtful questions by doubt
full texts" seems to be especially applicable
to the Briggs controversialists at this time.

APRAIsEwoRTHY CAMPAIGN.

We notice with decided satisfaction that
the Ladies Health Protective Association
are getting decidedly on the waTpath in
their movement to rid the city of smoke.
The ability to abolish smoke having been
demonstrated both at home and abroad,
these influential and public-spirited ladies
are determined that they will see it done,
or know the reason why.
One of that organization is quoted as
saying that the success of the movement
to abolish smoke in Chicago has an especial
bearing on the question in Pittsburg. The
crowning success of the Chicago effort was
in requiring railroad locomotives within
the city to adopt consuming devices.
Among the railroads which have equipped
their engines with successful smoke con-
sumers are the Pennsylvania Company,
the Baltimore and Ohio and the Lake
Shore. ''Now," asks this very discerning
lady, eff these railroads can successfully
consume their smoke in Chicago, why
should they not be able to use the same
cleanly devices within the limits of Pitts
burg and Allegheny"
The question is an exceedingly peril
nent one, and it is to be hoped that the
ladies will direct it with effective force
against the railroad authorities at their
meeting this morning. But before they
attack the railroads they must give their
attention to local smoke producers. If the
ladies make life a burden for their hus-
bands, brothers and fathers until the latter
have abolished smoke from their chimneys
and smokestacks, the conquest of the rail-
roads will prove an easy victory. Success
to the ladies in their publie-spirited
campaign.

TRUTH AND POPULARITY.

The experience of the French lecturer
who last week undertook to expose to an
audience Of his countrymen the abuses of
Siberian prison methods is illustrative of a
general trait of human nature. No one
disputed the accuracy of his statements: :
but Russia is an ally of France, and there
fore Russia is popular. Consequently one
of the auditors, described as a ''savant, {"
proposed cheers for Russia, which were
given as a complete response to the lee
turer'S comments ON Russian prison
methods.
It is good illustration of the general
idea that unpleasant truths can be silenced
by the shouts of preiudiced audience
that a person of scientific attainments
should have led in this idea of bowling
down any criticism of Russia. Of
course, the scientific man would never
think of arguing that it would dis
prove a scientific assertion to call
on the people to shout against it,
But scientific men, from the days of those
who frowned down Columbus, are likely
to be just as prejudiced and unreasonable
as any other kind. Consequently, this
specimen of the class-with the exuber-
