or MATERIAL BENEFIT

The requests advanced in THE DISPATCH
during the week for more seating capac-
ity on the traction cars during the busy
hours Of the morning and evening are OBJ
jected to by an evening contemporary,
which thinks they are not reasonable.
If they were not reasonabIe THE DIS
PATCH would not urge them. Nowhere
have the advantages to the CITY from
rapid transit been more fully recognized
than in these columns, or greater consider
alton or encouragement been given tc the
various lines. As already stated all due
allowance should be made for the difficult
ties the companies have to encounter at
the start; but that does not preclude their
bestirring themselves to grow in accom-
modations with the extraordinary growth
Of their patronage.
IN all that has been said upon the SUBJ
ject it has further been recognized that it
may require no little effort and expense to
solve adequately the problem of rapid and
comfortable transit with the city growing
as il now is. But it is decidedly to the in
terest Of the existing companies to do this
as far as possible; and it would not be to
their interest at all to take the ground that
there can be no progress OF betterment of
arrangements.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1891-12-27
ENERGETIC ACTION REQUIRED.

The dispatches yesterday confirm the
previous reports that Garza's band of al
legged Mexican revolutionists have made
forcible resistance to the United States
troops sent to compel their obedience to
the laws. The latest rumor is to the effect
that in the fight fourteen of the United
States troops were killed.
This puts the so-called revolutionists in
their true position. They are simply
outlaws and freebooters on both sides
of the border. They resist the Govern
ment of the United States as violently
as the Government of Mexico, and are
simply carrying on the business of theft
and murder where :er it is most likely to
be successful. The United States should
use all its force, if necessary, to suppress
and punish them. If the troops now on
the border are not adequate more troops
should be taken there. In the meantime
it might be well to extend to the Mexican
troops the same liberty which Mexico gave
us in the Apache war, of pursuing the
outlaws across the border, if necessary for
their capture and suppression.
The United States cannot brook the
defiance of its authority or the occupation
of any part of its territory, however re-
mote, by armed freebooters of any nation
ality. 1t should exert its whole power, if
necessary, to teach both nations that such
thing cannot be done with impunitY.

system of promotions by ascertained fit
ness, to create under that cloak a
system of favoritism and partial
ity It can set up false standards
of efficiency, can permit the notification
of the records by excuses for negligence
or non-attendance, and can even wink at
the absolute Justification of the system by
those who may wish to advance their
favorites. This can be done, and it will
be done, if the Board understands that
this is what it is organized for.
But it will not do to take it for granted
that this purpose is behind the change
without more absolute evidence. 1t is to
be presumed that such an act is inspired
by its avowed purpose until the results
prove the contrary. 1t is. true that the
expectation would naturally be that such
a reform would be under the direction of
the Civil Service Commission, and Secre-
tary Fosters action in removing it from
the jurisdiction of that body to board Of
his own creation accords better with his
old reputation as politician than with his
new one as reformer But even such
presumptions do not warrant the conclu-
sion in advance that an announced reform
is a preconcerted and deliberate fraud.
Even if this board does run the promo
tions by the principles of favoritism, its
creation marks the progress of the coun-
try toward an eventual reform of the civil
service. Its partiality to political influ-
ences cannot be any greater than that
which now exists, and its profession of
reformatory purpose shows that even a
man like Foster cannot any longer avow
allegiance to the system of running the
offices on the basis of political rewards and
punishments.

rITTsBURG. SUNDAY. DEC. g. Iss:.
INVENTIONS OF JINGcISN

The statement in yesterdays news dis
patches that authoritative though uE-
official assurances have reached the State
Department ',;<t Chile vii! offer repara-
tion forthe Valparaisoriot, may be only the
swing Of the pendulum of rumOrs from the
side of warike talk to that of peaceful re-
ports. Until corrobprated by more
authoritative statements, therefore, it
cannot he used as affording the commen-
tGTy on the Jngoism which has filled the
newspapers of the United States for the
past few days But the statement of the
naval authorities made public in the same
connection warrants some emphatic COM
ments on the evident disposition to stimu-
late the war spirit.
For the past week OF more the press has
teemed with reports of the ordering of
the vessels Of the navy 20 Chile. with talk
OF the use of yachts for topedo vessels,
and the chartering of powerful tugs by
the naval authorities on the Pacific coast,
to be armed and employed for the same
purpose All these statements pointed to
the conclusion that the Government was
preparing for an immediate demonstra-
ton on Chile The Secretary and
Assistant Secretary of the Navy
yesterday made specific and public
declarations that there was not the
slightest truth in any of these stories. Not
2 single vessel of the navy is under orders
for Chile. Two United States vessels are
at Valparaiso now, and the larger one, the
Boston, has been ordered to leave for San
made for the chartering Of vessels outside
OF the navy. These are the points of the
statement of Assistant Secretary Solev,
which is concluded by the comprehensive
assertion that mot a single step of anv
kind is being taken by the United States
Government looking toward a war with
Chile"
Unless Secretary Tracy and Assistant
Secretary Soley are to b. sup scted of
direct falsehood in these statements, no
other conclusion is possible than that
some influences have been at work in
spreading warlike report for ulterior pur-
poses The abundance of these warlike re-
ports. and the manner with which they were
produced ostensibly from both seacoasts,
shows that there was a systematic attempt
to affect public feeling. Exactly what the
object was may be matter of conjecture,
but the same genius of Misrepresentation
in the news from Chile warrants the sus
picion that some interest is at work which
hopes for an advantage by embroiling the
United States in a naval war lust at the
time when it can hope for an extension of
its ocean commerce with South America.
1t is satisfactory that the news of yester-
day gives ground for hope that any such
scheme will fail; but pending the con-
frmation Of that hope it will be pertinent
10 insist on a little respect for truth in the
news concerning the Chilean trouble.

DEATHS HERE AND ELSEWHERE,
General Brady Sharpe.

Brady Sharpe, Us he was called by his
friends, whose death at Carlisle was recorded
in this department. yesterday morning, was
staff officer of the Third Brigade, Pennsvl.
vania Reserves. He was personal aide to
General E. o, C. Ord, and followed him,
after he left the Reserves and went South.
He served with the General in command in
Texas, several years after the war, and then
returned to his law practice at Carlisle
Captain Sharpe was appointed to deliver an
address to the next Pennsylvania Reserve
Association, at Gettysburg, during the semi
annual encampment of the Grand Army,
his sub ect being. "The Military History Of
General Ord" 1t has always been prob
lem with the Reserves why so brave Il man,
so accomplished a scholar and so wise n Gen
eral should have been relegated to places of
insignificance. Captain Sharpe was General
Ord's personal aide, conducted his cores
pondence and had promised to throw light
on this and other matters connected with
the lie of the General, in an address which
would have been of absorbing interest to
PENNSYLVANIA Reserves. Possibly he has
left notes available TO his literary executor
Captain Sharpe has been in ill health tor
many years.

WHAT THE TORIES WISH.

The ex planation by the friends of Mr.
Davitt that his defeat at Waterford was
caused by the Tory vote being thrown to
Redmond, in order to prolong the fac
tional dispute among the Home Rulers,
probably has foundation of fact, but is
not sufficient to fully break the damaging
effect of the election
There is no doubt that the Tory policy
was to do all in its power to secure the
election of Redmond, simply because that
would give new life and bitterness to the
quarrel between the Irish factions. But if
that vote is large enough to have pre-
vented the election of Davitt, while he
was supported by the majority of the
Home Rulers, it is evident that the anti
Home Rule sentiment in Waterford is
much larger than was supposed. 1t is not
probable that more than very slight per-
centage of the vote at the recent election
was controlled by the Tories. The cleo
tion of Redmond must be accepted as an
evidence that the factional quarrel still
has the elements of vitality and that the
Irish party must continue to suffer from
the personal division which now disruptsit
The statement has this further founda-
ton in the fact that by continuing this
quarrel the Irish factions are doing ex-
actly what the Tory policy would have
them do, and are running the hope OF
Home Rule just when it was on the eve
of success.

REAL OR SHAM9

When it was announced that the Treas
ury Departments will hereafter be gov
erned by the rule of promotions in accord
ance with the records of industry. and
efficiency, The DISPATCH stated that this
was undoubtedly the rule under which COM
plete civil service reform is to be attained,
but pointed out at the same time that its
success would depend on the integrity and
sincerity of its actual workings. A Demo-
cratic paper claims to find evidence that
the reform is mere pretense, in the fact
that it is placed under the supervision of a
board appointed by the Secretary himself
instead OF under the direction of the Civil
Service Commission.
Nothing cln be easier than for board,
established professedly to supervise a

RoBINsoN,s Two SALARIES.

Congressman John B. Robinson meets
the assertion that he has drawn salaries
both as State Senator and Congressman
with the statement that as soon as he re-
ceived his salary as Senator he turned over
the whole sum to charitable purposes. The
reason why he drew the salary at all, he
says, is that if he had not done so it would
have remainedin the State Treasury to his
credit, and he took the course he did as
means of settling the matter finally and
frrevocably.
This is probably the best explanation of
the fact that can be made, but it does not
relieve Mr.. Robinson from the charge of
pluralism. A man who takes public money
on the strength of his services and then
gives it to charity with himself as the
donor accepts it and converts it to his use.
1t was his gift and not that of the State
which enriched the charity of Mr.. Robin
sons selection, and that fact sufficiently
classes Mr.. Robinson's acceptance of the
salary.
Doubtless Mr.. Robinson's course was
the best that could be taken by man who
wishes to exercise the functions of State
Senator while enjoying the emoluments
of Congressman, but it was not the best
course to keep himself superior to the
charge of drawing two salaries. For the
alleged impossibility of covering his SEN
atorial salary into the State Treasury does
not extend to his Congressional salary
He could have returned that amount to
the United States in accordance with
precedent that was famous eighteen years
ago. The circumstances Of the case indi-
Gated the fitness of such course Dur
ing the time covered by both salaries, Mr.
Robinson was serving the State as Senator
and rendered no service to the United
States as Congressman. If he had taken
the Senatorial salary which he earned, and
had covered the Congressional salary, which
he did not earn, into the United States
Treasury, he would still have occupied an
equivocal position during his dual office
holding, but he would have been free
from the charge of drawing two salaries |
for different and irreconcilable services.
Perhaps the fact that the Congressional |
salary is $1,000 year while the Senatorial |
salary is 81, 400 may have had some influence
On Mr.. Robinson's course. With this ter |
to Mr.. Robinson's pluralism the |
country will wait with interest to see what |
the redoubtable David Bennett Hill will do

iugton's Brave Deeds
TRENTON, Dec 26.-To-day was the 118th
anniversary of the Revolutionary battle of
Trenton. 1t was made notable by the lay
ing of the cornerstone OF monument to the
memory Of Washington and the Continental
troops, who, after crossing the icy Delaware
during Christmas night, surprised and
routed the Hessians, killing number and
taking nearly 1000 prisoners besides valua-
BILE military supplies. The exercises began
at noon, the programme being as follows:
Music. 'Star Spangled Banner" by Winkler's
seventh Regiment Band: prayer by Rev.
John Dixon, pastor of the First PreSbvterlan
church, incorporated September s, ITS;
opening remarks by Mayor Daniel j. Bech-
tel. of Tren ton; laying of the cornerstone by
Govern Abbett's address, "New Jersey the
battle-ground Of the Revolution benedic-
t1on by.the Rt. Rev. Michael j. OFarrell,
BISHOP of Trenton: music
An indoor meeting was held in the Taylor
opera House which was crowded to the
doors. General William J. Sewell presided
Mt the meeting, and after q short introduct-
ory address introduced United States Sena-
tor Mcpherson to speak OIL "Monuments
Commemorative of Revolutionary Battles
as Educators of the People in Love of
York, followed, on american Patriotism"
and then ex-Secretary of the Navy
Robeson delivered an eloquent address on
"Patriotism Should Be 1nstiled in Every
American" Besides these public exercises
there were meetings held by the Sons of the
American Revolution and of the New Jersey
Society of the Cincinnati during the day.
