NATIONAL SYSTEM.

The project of extending the deep-water
channel of the Hudson to Troy and Al
hanv is under consideration by board OF
engineers in New York. The press OF that
city notices it as part of the general sys-
tenn of internal water navigation to be Sc
cured by enlarging the Erie Canal and con-
meeting the rivers Of the Mississippi Valley
with the lakes.
This is the right way to view such enter
pTises When we see that, whether work
is done on the Ohio or Mississippi rivers, on
the Erie or the Hennepin Canals, or on the
Pittsburg and Lake Erie or Hudson river
water ways, it is all working toward the
realization of a complete system, all local
iealousies will disappear. The work done
at one point will in the end be for the ben
eft of another. When this view is fully
comprehended the great interests behind
each separate project will combine for the
realization of all. Backed by such force,
the entire system of improved water navi-
CATION should be in operation near the
opening of the next century.
In that light Pittsburg can view the
project of improving the Hudson river
with favor and approval In point OF pri-
ority it is less pressing than our canal
project; but work on one will inevitably
lead to the realization of the other When
our canal is built and the Erie Canal en-
larged, the existence of deep harbor in
the Hudson all the way from Albany to
New York will be a magnificent aid to
sending our coal and iron to market by the
cheap water route.

THE GOVERNORS ACTION.

The fate of the Pittsburg street and
curative bills will be decided this week so
far as the Governors action is concerned.
Representatives of the city will appear
before the Governor tomorrow, to urge
his signature of the leading measures, es-
pecially the curative bills.
In urging this action upon the Governor,
they will have the support of the vast
majority of people. We can dismiss the
bills providing general street act, and
bearing upon municipal liens, as likely to
be accepted without question. They
were drawn up with the idea of fully con-
forming to every requirement, and plac-
ing the conduct of street Improvements
for the future beyond any possibility of
such complications as the present. The
curative bill is the one which is likely to
arouse the gubernatorial scrutiny, and this
is the one the representatives of the city
are most justified in urging on his accept
ance.
While conceding that there are ques-
tlonable features about the curative bill,
the city should unite in making it clear to
the Governor that it affords the only
chance of preventing the infiicticn of
monstrous hardship on the people OF Pitts
burg. If this measure is not passed thou
sands who have paid millions of dollars for
improving streets on which their property
is located must be taxed again to pay for
Improvements which benefit others. The
putative injustice which might have been
inflicted under the old law would be trivial
beside the actual hardship which will
result unless by the curative bill method
of assessing the cost on the property bene-
flied is provided The doubtful questions
about this measure are constitutional
ones, and will at once be submitted to the
Supreme Court. If they stand the test
the result will be practical justice; if the
Supreme Court rules against the bill no
one will be injured. For the sake of CIV
ing the city the chance to assess the cost of
the pending street improvements on those
benefited the Governor should sign the
bill
The supplement- to the city charter is
measure which stands in similar posi-
ton. 1t is necessary to give to the de-
partments the authority to perform some
of the essential acts of city government
Without it the municipal business will be
crippled 1t is saddled with an unneces-
sary and, as we believe, unconstitutional
clause for the issue of certificates of in
debtedness, seemingly for no other pur-
pose than to court veto. But that pro-
vision will have no validity. The Con-
troller will issue none of the certificates
without judicial declaration of their
legality. The Governor can consequently |
afford to let this deadwood pass unnoticed |
in view of the vital necessity of the other |
sections of the bill.
1t is to be hoped that Governor Pattison |
will be able to accept this view. If SO, it |
will only be necessary to run the ordeal Of |
the Supreme Court once more before the
city knows exactly where it stands.

THE VICE LIES DEEPER.

The latest bank failures in Philadelphia
produce the usual outburst from the news
papers of that city, concerning the wantOn
wickedness of the people who spread re-
ports affecting the reliability of banking
institutions.
People who indulge in baseless talk of
that sort are certainly doing a foolish
if not criminal thing; but recent
experiences, both in Philadelphia and
New York, are sufficient to create
a doubt whether it is the evil that
needs to be attacked. The same talk was
heard from Philadelphia at the time of the
run on the Keystone Bank; but subsequent
disclosures have amply established, in that
case as in many others, that it was not the
false rumors but the actual diversion of
the funds of the bank to support the spec
ulations of its officers that caused its
downfall.
False rumors about solvent bank can
cause it serious inconvenience, but cadlnot
wreck it. The sway of speculative man.
ager can very promptly bring it to ruin. If
the Philadelphia papers will drive the spec
ulative kite-fyers from the banks of that
city those institutions can laugh at the
worst efforts of the TumOr-mOngers.

THE LINE OF THE LAW.

The announcement that a proposition
for lecture by Colonel Robert G. Inger-
soil, at one of the city theaters, on
some Sunday evening, has met with de-
cided negative by the Department of Pub
lie Safety, is accompanied by declaration
that ''the line is drawn" on 'the noted in
fidel" A statement Of that sort really
misstates the matter The line is not
drawn either on Colonel Ingersoli or on
his broad-gauged and somewhat indefinite
religious views. 1t is drawn by the statute
on any exhibition or entertainment for
profit. If the Rev. Father Ignatlus should
propose to come to Pittsburg and make a
profit by Sunday evening lecture at %
cents admission, the law would bar him as
promptly as in Colonel Ingersoll's case.
The Department of Public Safety is not
making any law or even putting new
construction on it. 1t simply states the
necessity it would be under of enforcing
very well known and clearly construed
law in force for several generations.

TuE CH.RIEsroN,s CHASE.

This mornings news about the Charles

remarkable for the mystery with which 1t
surrounds the whole affair. There is an
apparent fear to say outright that the
United States vessel is really In
pursuit of the Chilean fugitive,
yet the inference is given that
she is. Just why things are thus kept
shady is not known. If there are any
doubts of the right of this Government to
capture the Itata if possible, they exist
only in overburdened official minds. The
Chilean made herself liable to capture
anywhere on the high seas by her action
escaping from custody at San Diego, if by
nothing else And she should be cap
tured.
The capture should be effected as soon
as possible, but delay seems to be the pol
icy of those having the matter in charge.
To take the fugitive after her cargo has
been transferred to another ship will ex-
pose the country to ridicule. And more
than likely that is what will happen.

The Biiou Theater.

The play "Casper the Yodler," as pro-
duced in the Btjou last evening, is very
pardonable excuse for the introduction of
Mr.. Charles T. Ellis to Pittsburg audience.
Mr.. Ellis name has for some time
been almost household word in the
East; and his clear, touching voice is
not altogether unknown in this city, which
knew him in his earlier successes on the va
riety stage. In "Casper the Yodler'' he hast
chosen q piece, the neutral tints of which
bring into especial prominence his own de-
lightful singing and the painstaking per-
formance of the whole company. The story
deals with the old-fashioned abducted infant
treated in what can hardly be called new
fashioned manner. AS the strolling musician
and hero, Casper, Mr.. Ellis is most
acceptable,~Of course, his songs are the
feature of his playing; the touching melody
"Sunshine win Come Again. being especially
good and earning him double encore from
last evenings big audience. In the course
of the play Mr. Ellis assumes the disguises
of an Irish detective and German maed-
chen, the latter a favorite character with
about these character sketches is
their extreme want of affectation
in accent and demeanor; want which is
unite refreshing when one remembers the
general run of stage-Irish and stage-Teutons
The subordinate characters of Casper the

Florrie O'Brien and Matte Grier, being really
clever mites.
Tn. PLAY is handsomely mounted, especially
in the scenes representing Blarney Castle
and the saloon of an ocean yacht "Casper
the Yodler' enin is a capitally mirth-pro-
yOking production, with lust enough pathos
to successfully correct its flavor.

INDISCOVFRED PFRHS.

It is rather amusing to discover in East
ern papers, published in cities where it is
proposed to introduce some modern
methods of surface transit the destructive
nature of these inventions. For some time
the proposition to establish electric roads
in two or three leading cities has filed the
press there with accounts of the dangers
of that means of transit. The fact that
these cities are patiently enduring the real
perils of electric light wires, made no diff
ference in the indignant reputation of
the thought that the public might be bene-
fited by the introduction of the electric
method Of surface transit. Now the prop
ositiOn to substitute cable power for the
patient street car horse in New York
moves journal of that city to predict an
appalling chapter of fatal accidents.
1t will seem to Pittsburgers a striking
evidence of the vitality of its population
that, with both these deadly agents in ac-
tive operation, its population is increasing
faster than that of the cities fighting their
introduction with such fervor. Other cities
introduced electric roads in general use be-
fore Pittsburg, and still others preceded
her in the use of cable power. But Pitts
burg, after ample experience of both
kinds of transit, is blissfully unconscious
that she is living with an electric sword of
Damocles over her head or a cable mine
under her feet Where such ignorance is
bliss. it is really unkind in our neighbors to
tell us in what constant peril of annihila-
ton we are living.
Of course, electric and cable railways,
like steam cars, natural gas, navigation
and blast furnaces, are dangerous if oper-
ated with negligence or ignorance. But
the idea that they are deadly perils, to be
