The Aggregate LOSS.

= The aggregate amount of gross losses
by the fire last Wednesday, so far as we
have been able to list them, up to the
hour of going to press, is a little over
100000 Nearly all the losses not yet
enumerated are in smaller amounts but
they must number several hundreds.
We think the estimate first made by the
CHRONICLE that the total loss will foot
up million dollars is conservatively
correct

KEACTING TO BARBARIsM.

Harold Frederic, the novelist and
ne wspaper man, has just concluded a
journey through Russia for the purpose of
studying its political condition His OBJ
servations fully confirm the views of Mr..
Kennan, and even go further than his,
with the statement of the belief that the
governmental tendency, which is denom-
mated by courtesy as the Pan-Slavist
movement, is really reaction toward bar
bariSm.
Ithas been suspected for some time that
the reaction would not have very far to
go; but MI. Frederic's view discloSes a
more significant and deliberate tendency
to discard the restraints of civilized gev-
eminent Itrecalls the Napoleonic declara-
ton that by scratching Russian you
will find Tartar, and reaches the con-
clusion that the governing Muscovite has
concluded that the time has come when he
need no longer be controlled by the re-
straints or civilized government; but can
throw off the mere epidermis of civlliza-
ton in which he has masqueraded for this
century, and invite the Slavonic element
of Europe to return to the lawless abSo-
lutism of their Tartar ancestors. This
reactionary tendency, in Mr.. Frederic's
view, explains the expulsion of the He
brews. The prejudice against that race
furnishes the immediate excuse for driving
them out of Russia; but the real sentiment
behind their expulsion is the antagonism
to all foreigners whether Hebrew, German
or of other nationalities
Perhaps Mr.. Frederic's theory is little
hyperbolical in representing the tendency
to react to Slavonic semi-civilizat ton as in
territorial; but the actual facts established
with regard to Russian methods, leave
littl, room for doubt as to the important
fact that the sentiments and motives
which inspire the Russian policy are very
close to those of half-civilized people.

THE LAuL MANAGEMENT

The further light that is obtained on the
details of FiJzSimmons' escape from
the jail strengthens the charitable theory
OF lax and Negligent management of that
institution. The fact that the criminal
had his escape planned nearly month be-
fore, and that his preparations for escape
could have been discovered by careful in
spection at any time during a week be-
fore his breaking bonds, leaves little room
for doubt on that point.
This makes a reconstruction of that in
stitution practically unavoidable. The
case seems TO be the not uncommon one
ut a management which has run along in
The regular grooves 50 long that it has be-
come lax and Indifferent. When that
condition is Illuminated by the liberation
Of so defiant a scoundrel as Fitzsimmons,
the call for a new management cannot be
ignored The suggestion of the name of
Inspector McAleese for warden of the Jail
indicates a very available man for the
place. This officer has won prominence
on the city police force by his activity and
talents in service. His character for eff
cheney and vigilance is well established.
The probability is that if he is appointed
nc more escapes like that of Tuesday will
be successfully carried out

A NEW KIND OF PRESTIGE.

The esteemed New York Recorder
thinks that the United States "should not
be precipitaUe" III acting jointly with
European poweTs-tOwaTd anything like CO.
ercion with China This is because to do so
would be the furtherance of European
ambitions in China, which would do no
good either to our commerce or our ma
IionaI prestige -
1t might be praiseworthy thing under
proper circumstances and proper instru-
mentalitieS to increase our commerce with
China Nor is there any duty upon the
United States to support the European
projects in connection with that empire
But the present juncture is a very unfortu-
nate one IN which to suggest that we
should act as the friend Of China, for two
reasons. The first is that it would put
the United States in the position of tolera-
ZION toward the Chinese characteristic of
killing missionaries. The second is that
our own treatment of the Chinese, though
somewhat strongly akin 10 the actions of
their own mob, does not qualify us to as
pire to the position Of best friend to the
IissionaTy-m Chinese
The idea that our national prestige can
be aided by mildly claiming position of
ultimate fTiendliness with government
whose people are mobbing American
missionaries with impunity is an illustra-
t!on Of what silly things can be said of our
foreign relations

To insure cool and quiet time for the
overheated Car the receptacle would
have to be bomb-proof safe, by no means
as pleasant as glass with stream of water
running over it. If the choice of the
Prince of Wales companions in the glass
chamber were left to the English Mrs. Grun-
dy it might keep him out of hot water;
but as the Siamese precedent permits the
monarch to choose his companions during
the artificial refrigeration, the danger that
the Tranby Croft crowd would get
into the sacred GOODNESS would be princi-
pally productive of the frigidity of the
social cold shoulder.
Besides all this, the tendency of Eu-
ropean events is not toward cooling off the
monarchs of that continent. Popular
movements and international politics both
exhibit the general disposition toward
the royalties to make it hot for them.

TERMs OF THE DISPATCH.
PITTsBURG, THURSDAY, SEPT. IL, lsyl
TANHHANY ON TOP.

The organization which has so long con-
trolled the municipal government Of the
metropolis of the country has now grown
sufficiently strong and bold TO absolutely
dictate Democratic nominations in the
Empire State. While the friends of Hill
were undoubtedly in control of the New
York convention, the naming of Congress
man Flower was not so much Hill as a
Tammany triumph. Both the Governor
Senator and ex-President Cleveland ac-
Quiesced in the selection because Of the
power of the city bosses
Personally Flower is about on a level
with .FaSSett, the Republican candidate,
and each is backed by machine. The
former, however, has always had the repu-
tation of tapping his extensive barrel lib
orally for campaign purposes. He is also
ambitious, and as long ago as 1884 was
recklessly exposing himself to Presidential
lightning. Cleveland and Hill each figure
on Mr.. Flower as one of their adherents
now, but if he should come under the
wire good winner in November he may
conclude to compromise the Democratic
factional fight by reaching for the White
House plum himself

A BOOMERANG PLEDGE.

A rather novel issue has sprung out of
the Philadelphia city canvass. AS the
newspapers of the city are elevating it to
the rank of burning issue, and as it
seems to have sprung up of its own ac-
cord, it may fifty be termed case of
spontaneous combustion.
The issue began with proposition that
the Republican candidates for city places
shall pledge themselves not to accept the
fees attached to the offices, but to turn
over the money from that source to the
City Treasury. Whereupon the Times
denounceS the idea with the assertion tn at
such pledge would be a violation of the
law against promising any valuable con-
sideration to osecure election, and would be
little short of bribery to the voters.
1t looks like chopping logic to very
fine degree to make it illegal for a candi-
date to say that he will not take the pub
lie money by fees which, under the Consti-
tuition, are really illegal. But this gives
more cogent reason why such a pledge
would act like a boomerang on the Repub-
licans. The Constitution provides for the
abolition of the fee system and the substi-
buliOli VI A-ACO ct@ldlICo lOuO Ills, ike d
good many other provisions of the Consti-
tuition, has not been enforced by appro-
pirate legislation; and one of the greatest
obstacles to its enforcement has been the
character of the Legislators turned out by
the political machine of Philadelphia. Per-
hapS the recent disclosures concerning the
fee system may explain the fondness of
the Philadelphia politicians for Constitu-
tional notification.
To make a reform depend on personal
pledges after defeating the Constitutional
provision for II years is a rather strong
case of the saintliness produced by a sick
bed. 1t can hardly fail to provoke pointed
inquiries whether the party system that
induces men to violate their oaths to sup
port the Constitution can be relied upon
for fulfillment of pledge of this sort.

like it had ever been sold before for less

on the market at SO 30. This stirred up the
prepared and signed by the two big COM

of the Elgin Company from the Trust q few
weeks ago was merely forInality to evade
the State antitrust law.
By the terms of this circular the Elgin

pay Sl00, 600 in rebates to jobbers who now
hold in stock the goods on which reductions
are made. The remaining $300, 900 is the loss
on movements now held by the company.
With the Waltham people a much larger
stock was carried, both in stock and in the
hands of the jobbers. Nothing is thought
The loss to them will be very heavy in the
aggregate.

Miss MARY HOLLAND, daughter of Rev.
Robert Holland rector of St. Georges Epis-

nurse, with the intention of devoting herlife
to hospital work.
GENERAL JOSEPH B. CARR, ex-Secretary

THE late Postmaster General Raikes, of
Great Britain, was much interested in sport

he bred horses for the turf, and was active
in certain racing councils. AS q schoolboy,
he was captain of the successful crew in a
regatta, and even after he reached the age of
30 he would sometimes pull an oar with his
boys.
PROF. TYNDALL has recently been an
noyed by intrusive neighbors. One man
built a stable just in front of the scientists
study windows, and refused to move it when
offered a free site and $500; and when, as
last resort, Prof. Tyndall erected a screen of
larchpoies and heather, the townsfolk
evinced great irritation; and the matter was
discussed at length in the local press
ISAAC CODY, father of Buffalo Bill, was
the first man to shed his blood in Kansas for
the cause of human liberty in the trouDlous
days of 1854. He was a farmer, with some
little knowledge OF law. when he moved into
that territory from Iowa, and he was stabbed
by one of the ugly squatters who sought to
advance the interests of slavery at that time.
Mr.. Cody's tent is said to have been the first
that was pitched in Kansas by regular set
tier, and on the site of it he afterward built
log house that was the boyhood home of
his noted SON.
