MORE FACTORIES COMING.

The visit of J. Murray Doelen, manu-
facturer of Nottingham lace in England,
to this country is another evidence of the
attractive powers of the Mckinley tariff
law. Mr. Dolan intends to remove his en-
tire mandatory to the United States.
He has not yet selected the location, but
ne long since came to the conclusion that
he could afford to bring his establishment
to country where protection is afforded
Mr.. Dolan repeats emphatically the same
sentiments that have been uttered by other
English manufacturers. He says that he
cannot afford to make his goods in England
and send them to the United States with
the present tariff, consequently he will
make his lace in the United States. The
evidence in favor of the protective policy
is accumulating so rapidly that the free
trade prophets will soon be left without a
particle of ground upon which they may
base their faliacious arguments.

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PITTsBURG. FRIDAY, NOV. Is. 1871,
TWELVE PAGES
SHERhI,S'S SERVICES.

If the Republicans of Ohio retire John
Sherman from the Senate they viii be
parting with one of the ablest men whom
Ohio has contributed to national affairs.
The argument against Mr. Sherman that
he has been nearly thirty years in the Sen
ate, and that the people think thirty years
long enough, is a singular instance, both
of ingratitude and of false logic. Within
the period of this service Mr.. Sherman has
been of immense benefit in protecting the
financial policy of the country from wild
schemes of visionaries and incapables. His
experience is now greater than ever, and
the recent revival Of the silver craze shows
there is as much need for his conservative
influence as ever. The allegation of long
service, therefore, should distinctly count
in his favor, and only with the shallow
pated.
No greater contrast could exist between
two mel than between Sherman and For
aker. The latter, while possessed of
enough ability to keep himself before the
public, is not the eeol-headed, safe guide
that Sherman has at all times been. To
replace Sherman by Foraker would give a
singular idea of the standard by which
statesmen are measured in Ohio.

PIrrsBURG,s CHANCES GROWING,

The merchants of Chicago have shown
a magnanimity that was as unexpected as
it is pleasing to the other contestants for
the Republican National Convention.
They have declared that they will not en-
deavor to have it meet in Chicago. Their
idea is that in securing the Worlds Fair,
Chicago has its share of the public events
and that under the circumstances it is
only fair to other cities that Chicago peo-
pie forego any claim they may have to the
convention.
This is remarkably sensible view to
take of the situation, and it removes a
powerful rival from Pittsburg's path. But
those who are working for the convention
in this city should not relax their efforts
because Chicago has withdrawn. On the
contrary, they will need to strain every
point to carry the day and there is no time
to be lost in putting every wheel of the
proper machinery in motion. With Chi
cago out of the contest Pittsburg's chances
for success have been increased about a
hundred per cent.

HEALTHY POPULAR TasTE.

Vulgarity and indecency are not paying
factors in theatrical performances in
Pittsburg. 1t has been proved time and
again that Pittsburg audience will not
swallow what may have gone down without
a murmur in New York. Among theatri-
cal managers it is an acknowledged fact
that extra care must be taken to avoid
offense when Pittsburg furnishes the audi
ence. Recently manage- complained
that a play that had been performed in
New York, Boston and Philadelphia with
out remonstrance from either public or
critics, was condemned by both on the
score Of gross impropriety when it
reached Plttsburg. 1t is not that our au-
diences are hypercritical; the feeling that
prompts the protest is rather moral than
mental The popularity of cleanly, whole
some plays here and the disfavor shown to
those of an opposite character are feath-
eTs in Pittsburg's cap. They bespeak a
high moral tone in the community, and if
comparisons must be made it shows once
more that the manufacturing city, where
majority of the population are workers, is
likely to be the moral superior of the me-
tropolis, where culture cannot stay the
corruption that idleness and inherited
riches entail

SOMEBODY WANTS A JOB.

There is proposal for permanent
Census Bureau at Washington. Coming
so soon after last years census, the fact
that such proposal has to be made is In
| itself striking evidence of the dissatis-
faction with Commissioner Porters work.
Were we sure that the suggestion OF the
STEADY job did not originate in the in
tereSts Of some people for whom it Is de-
signed to furnish soft situations, it might
be easier to recognize the necessity for a
permanent bureau to rectify the errors of
the temporary ones which come and go
every ten years.
Considering the probability that the idea
is meant in the interest of placemen the
public will by no means favor it. There
are now enough people fastened on the
Treasury at Washington to run a govern
ment twice the size of that of the United
States. When, after much elaborate
preparation, reliable census could not be
got in 1890, there is little prospect that any
great benefit would accrue from establish
ing a steady function with high salaries
for little work.
The only way out of the controversies
nave ONOA eho
census of 1890 is for the localities which
challenge the accuracy of Porter's figures
to conduct an enumeration on their own
responsibility. The rage for statistics is
not so strong with the public that taxpay-
ers will want to have continuous COM
mission plying inoffensive citizens at all
seasons with all sorts of questions. Least
of all would they want a permanent
bureau created for Mr.. Porter because of
his failure in the temporary one.

NOT EXACTLY A PARADISE.

Another model colonization and cooper
ative community scheme is revealed in its
true colors in Kansas telegram to THE
DISPATCH published elsewhere in this is
sue. 1t is the old, old story. Lovely eli
mate, fruitful soil, tropical luxuriance of
crops, comfortable homes, long life in an
earthly paradise, on paper-a sterile des-
ert under blazing sun, where double
labor produced scant living for the
fever-stricken colonist, in fact The
ingenuity of this particular scheme
is rather remarkable. The COM
pany within the company is a refine
ment upon the usual swindling method.
The aspirant for communal joys has the
satisfaction of being employed by one cor
poration that takes all he has and gives
him in return the scrip of another corpo-
ration that calmly declines to nay, and has
no assets to tempt attachment. Mexico
and other Southern neighbors of ours
have been very free with their invita-
tions, highly-colored ones, too, to us to
come down and share the delights of the
tropics and the riches thereof; and a
great many who have accepted these
invitations have met the fate of
the unfortunates who have expert
merted with the high-sounding 'tintegral-
cooperation association" of Topolobampo.
The silver mines that require gold mines
to work them; the rich soil that raises
fevers and absorbS coffined colonists; and
all the other patented attractions of the
unknown that figure so bravely in circu-
lars and advertisements, are generally not
worth travelling to look at, and as much
energy and capital put into enterprises
nearer home will much more surely yield
a harvest,

MISGUIDED ANARCHISTS.

simultaneously with the news that the
Anarchists in Bohemia are unusually
active comes the report that their Ameri-
can conferes are again displaying their red
banners in Chicago. There may be no sig
nificance or connection between these two
items, but of late there has been such a
lack of activity in Anarchial circles that
those in favor of good government can
afford to be suspicious.
There is no place in the United States
for the Anarchist. The incident at
Chicago conclusively shows that the few
in the United States are in opposition to the
country which has given them protection
from the tyranny of despots, and there can
be but one Interpretation of their acts,
namely, that they are determined to plot
against the safety of sixty million people.
Fortunately as yet there are only hand
full of these misguided men in this country,
but that is no reason why they should be
permitted to assemble and discuss their
nefarious schemes. They should be taught,
by force if necessary, that there is no hole
or corner in a country devoted to the inter-
ests of freedom and humanity, small

GOOD REPORTS FROM AFRICA

The negro in Africa is more progressive
than the negro in the South, according to
reports from British colony on the South.
ern rim of the Dark Continent Some
level-headed Scotchmen only two years
ago located on fertile tract in South
Africa. Now coffee plantations flourish,
and experimental sugar, tea and tobacco
tracts are well under way. All the work
has been done, too, by natives who pre-
vious to the advent of the whites devas-
tated instead of cultivated, fought instead
of worked, spoiled instead of toiled.
In architecture and the labor incidental
to the creation of a city the native Africans
have shown an aptitude that seems in
credible. The homes, the halls, the
churches of the whites are all worthy
monuments to the aptness and skill of the
dusky workers who ran wild only a few
months previous They baked the bricks,
made the lime, hewed the timber, Clipped
the stones, in fact did all that a skilled
white worker would do under similar cir
cumstances. Enthusiastic settlers who
have written friends at home are confident
that the natives have solved the problem
of residence in the Dark Continent.
Those who have watched the slow de-
velopment Of the transplanted African in
this country will put on their thinking
caps when they ponder over this endorse
ment of his skill, and wonder what
has retarded his advancement in
the line of mechanical and in
dustrial work here. Has he been showed

to this country and manufacture their goods
in the midst of the people who will consume
them.
