THE PARAMOUNT OBLIGATION.

A very intricate question of casuistry is
that which is to govern the action of Mr..
d. 7. Beales, the Kansas City millionaire,
with regard to the prosecution of the
people who kidnapped his three-year-old
boy, and got $4,000 ransom Mr.. Beales
holds that by the agreement under which
he ransomed his son he is in honor bound
not to appear against the kidnapers or in
any way contribute to their punishment.
This is placing an extreme construction
on the obligation of mans word. 1t is
the highest estimate of the value of per-
sonal veracity; but unfortunately it runs
counter to some other obligations of equal if
not higher Importance. Leaving them for a
minute it is worth while to inquire whether
there are not limits to the obligations of
personal promise. 1t is to be remembered
that Mr.. Beales was dealing with individ-
uals who had declared themselves by their
acts, enemies to social safety, faithless to
all obligations, and ready to prey upon
him by the most outrageous acts. Is a
man bound by promise extorted by such
means,or is he even compelled to keep faith
with those who class themselves among
the faithless? We do not hesitate to decoy

LOW POLITICAL MORALS.

The "point of view" is admirably illus
trated by the comments of some Demo-
cratic organs on the proposal in Ohio to
raise the question of Senator-elect Brice's
eligibility The Baltimore San regards
it as perhaps the strongest evidence of
the low standard Of political morals in the
Buckeye State that has yet been afforded.
Considering that this is predicted not upon
an expressed intention to turn out Senator
Brice anyhow, but upon very doubtful
and cautions expression of desire to in
vestigate and see if the charge of ineligi-
bility is well-founded, such statement is
a remarkable illustration of the fact that
the lightest offenses of political opponents
are worse than the blackest ones of their
own party.
Indeed, the expressions of belief at the
Ohio meeting that Senator Brice is eligi-
BILE were such that the Buffalo Courier re-
fers TO them as evidences of squeamish-
ness" According to the New York Dem
ocratic plan of turning out duly elected
representatives it is quite possible that a
set of men who recognize that an oppon-
ent is eligible, and confine themselves to
an investigation of his eligibility before
taking further steps, would be regarded
by New York Democrats as "squeamish.
Nothing can be palmer that if man
has been elected to a position fo- which he
is ineligible under the Constitution, it is
within the limits of right to exclude him.
The general opinion with regard to Brice's
case is that he can prove his eligibility;
but SO long as Ohio Republicans confine
themselves to an inquiry into his legal
eligibility, and to presenting evidence
against it to the Senate, they are acting
strictly within their rights. If no other
evidences of a low standard of political
morals were to be found than this we
could rejoice in a very pure status of our
popular Government.
But unfortunately the esteemed Sun
need not go outside its own party lines to
find evidences of much lower political
morals. If the Democratic machine of its
own city does not afford it such evidence
suppose that it casts his eyes upon the
means adopted to count out the repre-
sentatives chosen by the people in New
York

AN EXAMPLE FOR PITTSBURG

The history of the Manchester Ship
Canal, nearing completion, affords inter
esting instruction for cities in similar cir
cumstances. Pittsburg only differs from
Manchester, with regard to such a work,
mainly in having greater benefit to gain
from the canal project, in proportion to its
present prosperity, by having traffic in
which the cost of transportation is more
vital
1t is interesting to Pittsburg, therefore,
to learn that the canal project for Man
chester is not novel one. Seventy wears
ago Manchester, to escape the exactions of
the barge canal which then held a monop-
oily, projected rival canal by the river
Dee. But the railway system sprang up
which was expected to bring relief. Man.
chester accepted the railway regime and
waited for relief with the patience that
we in Pennsylvania can find parallels for
But the net result of this waiting was ex-
pressed in 1877 by resolution of the
Manchester Chamber of Commerce that
ship canal was imperative to the prosper
ity of that city.
The effect of this resolution alone was
not satisfactory. The Liverpool Docks
and Railway Company declined to reform
its charges on the strength of resolution,
and Manchester, after waiting five years
longer with exemplary patience, got
survey for her ship canal and went up to
Parliament with her project. But here
another obstacle was encountered. I'm
mense corporate interests were opposed.
A traffic of twenty millions year was at
stake. The canal would reduce charges
on cotton, wool and petroleum to less
than one-twelfth the railway rates; and
railway interests of magnitude fully
equal to those which control the trans
poriation of Western Pennsylvania threw
cold water on any such plan to lessen their
profits. We do not know certainly that
any theory of "vested rights" and charges
of "confiscation" of railway capital were
aired; but it may be presumed that no
such arguments were lacking. This power
full opposition delayed the bill for years in

TIME TO DECL ARE HIMSELF.

A special telegram to New York paper
declares positively that Secretary Blaine
will accept the Republican nomination if
rendered. While it is easy for correspond
ents to affect certainty as to a matter
which is probable-and the temptation
grows so long as the country continues to
call for Mr. Blaine and he shows no sign of
declining-it is still well to recognize that
something direct and positive from the
Secretary himself is now about due
Very soon-within few weeks-Repub-
licans all through the country will begin
to pick upon men to represent them at the
national convention. Enough has already
reached Mr.. Blaine to assure him that, if
he will accept, the great majority of the
delegates will be chosen with special ref
erence to his nomination. If he means to
decline the party is fairly entitled to know
it in time to consider the situation.
Everything points to the Secretarys
willingness to accept a nomination which
viii be rendered with enthusiasm. But
the circumstances are such as to make it
reasonable to have some direct acknowl-
edgment from him by at least the opening
of 1892

CITY LIGHTS.

The electric light bidding yesterday,
while not bringing any propositions from
outside concerns such as were expected,
resulted in a less price than before. The
charges for arc lamps are not above those
generally prevalent for cities, and are in
fact less by nearly forty per cent than
to private consumers, but the charges for
incandescent lamps are higher. With these
latter, however, the city authorities say
they will dispense wholly.
The DISPATCH is of the opinion that the
city should be able to supply its light
cheaper by plant of its own. But it is
fair to recognize that the figures at yester-
days bidding are by no means exorbitant.

bind us to keep faith with unmitigated
rascals who prey upon us by the violation
of all faith and the disregard Of all
promises?
1t is plain that whatever obligation
rests on man in Mr. Beales' position is
founded not on any claim which the kid
napers of his boy have against him, but on
his claims against himself. In other
words, his duty to himself may oblige him
to respect his word. So far as securing
any advantage to himself by breaking his
word is concerned, we are inclined to
think Mr. Beales is right. He could not
honorably seek to recover back the 5000
paid for his child's ransom, because that
would be seeking to obtain an advantage
by violating his personal pledge. An
honorable mans self-respect would pre-
vent that; but we do not think it can be
carried TO the degree of freeing the hon
orable man from his duty to society.
Here is where the limit to the personal
obligation is very clearly defined. A
mans faith to the public duty of protect
ing society from the ravages of outlaws
and thieves is more binding than his per-
sonal words to those public enemies.
There is good morality in the common law
principle that man cannot make bind
ing contract that is opposed to public pol
icy; and nothing can be more opposed to
public policy than an agreement that GRIM
inals shall be protected from punishment.
Strictly speaking, Mr.. Beales has COM
pounded a felony, and, while the public
sympathy for the terrible straits of
parent seeking to redeem his child from
the clutches of criminal act will condone
that fault, it is clear that the law cannot
permit him to disobey its mandate to give
his testimony when he is called upon for it.
1t is certainly to be hoped that the Kan
sas City court will compel Mr.. Beales to
testify in the case of the persons arrested
for kidnapping his child. The protection
of society is of more importance than an
extorted promise to criminal gang.

Further on the Bond Issue Question.

Further on the Bond Issue Question.
To the Editor of The Dispatch:
Some phases of the bond issue question
are: Does the taxpayer desire to foolishly
and unnecessarily precede the action of the
courts, which everyone believes will pass
favorably upon the curative act of the Leg
islature within three months from now?
By such hasty action he will saddle the city
with an additional 81 ,000 debt which
properly belongs to local properties, the
owners of which are with scarcely an excep-
tion willing and ready to pay these assess
ments as soon as the Court decides
the curative act Constitutional.
The courts will do this undoubtedly
No other valid reason can be given
for this bond issue than that the street con-
tractors want money that is not now due,
nor will any part of it be due until next
year, and then only about one-fourth of it,
The remainder will not be due for two
years.
The case is like this: An obligation is held
by contractors against local parties who are
ready and willing to pay, but the laws under
which payment was to be made prove to be
framed chiefly in the interest of contractors
and minoritics of property holders. These
take alarm and hasten to get curative legis-
lation that will prove to be found Con-
stitutional. They do so, but in order
to be sure. they submit test cases
to the courts, that precedent may be made
that all is right, based upon a proper regard
for a majority OF property in given local
tty No one for moment doubts that this
curative act will be the future fixed law of
Pittsburg and no one for a moment wants
anything better or more just. But here
those interested see an opportunity to sad
die the taxpayer with bills that they ought
and must pay themselves If they wait until
the courts pass upon the justice Of the cura-
tive act.
But if they wait, what then? They must
put their hands into their own pockets and

But this did not end the struggle. The
project was placed on the market and
subscriptions were called for to the extent
OF S30,00o,00o. But the subscriptions did
not come. Capital looked coldly on
scheme that was expected to jeopardlse
It's darling railway investments; and 1t Is
no stretch of the imagination to suppose
that the railway interest was profuse with
demonstrations of its impracticability. So
after years of struggle the project was at
dead halt until Manchester struck
the idea of building her canal
herself. A committee investigated the
project and reported it sound.
Upon this Manchester capital took the
subscription. When this money was spent
the city of Manchester raised loan for
the balance The final result is seen in
the fact that ocean vessels will unload
their cargoes in Manchester next year.
The moral of this for Pittsburg is very
impressive. If you want to be sure
thing is done take hold and do it yourself.
While the Ohio River and Lake Erie
canal is within the line of enterprises
taken hold of by the Government, far
more than the Nicaragua canal project,
for which the moderate draft is proposed
on the government credit of 100000
600, if Western Pennsylvania wishes to
promptly secure the inestimable benefits
of cheap water transportation it must take
hold of the matter itself. There is capital
enough in Western Pennsylvania to build
the canal The cheapening of freights on
two staples-iron and coalEwill pay for
it in six years. Why not realize this vast
incentive to our prosperity as soon as the
work can be done, and then when the
Government gets ready to provide the
country with comprehensive system of
free waterways turn over the canal to it
at cost?
