many, what one of all the governments in
the world is secure In its possessions?
This is the more alarming prospect on ac-
count of the manner in which the respective
possessions were obtained in Africa. The
Kongo State was created by the agreement
OF all the powers, to have a neutral State
there founded on the civilized method of
treating with the natives, permitting the
whole world to trade there on equal terms.
The English and German possessions were
founded on the right of the strongest. That
the pacific State should deprive the naval
and military powers of their territory earned
by the travail of their Krupp and Arm
strong guns, is more puzzling than danger
Gus; but like ali things that cannot be
understood, is calculated to arouse conster-
nation.
Really, if this thing goes on. some way
must be found to restrain the aggressive and
bloOdthirsty lambs and protect the innocent
and much-enduring wolves!

IMPRESSIONS OF PITTsBURG.
What an English Newspaper Knows About
Our Local Customs.

What an English Newspaper Knows About
Our Local Customs.
The old saying about going from home to
hear the news Is illustrated by the following
editorial paragraph clipped from a late numb Der
of the London Globe and sent to US by a gentle
man of this city who subscribes to that pink
organ of London intelligence:
"rhe town of PittsDurg is apparently in the
enyiable condition Of enjoying a complete i'm
munity from loafers. In that bustling center
the unemployed are conspicuous by their abb
sence. the entire male labor of the place being
monopolized SO the New York correspondent
of the Manchester Examiner tells u.s. by the
rolling mills, factories and oil works. The re-
suit of this state of affairs is to throw into the
hands of the enterprising and able-bodied fe-
males of the locality sundry occupations which
in other cities are usurped by the male person.
Foremost among these functions is that of
charioteer. The majority of tho truck and van
drivers in ?irtsburg. SO we learn from the same
authority, are of the female persuasion. ANY
early riser may see the streets leading up to the
markets crowded with trucks all driven by
women This arrangement has not ouly an
economical but an ethical significance In New
York, for example, where female driver is as
rare as black swan. the sum total of public
profanity is largely contributed to by the driv-
ers Of that city. There every Jehu is a profess
sor of the art or ornamental objurgation. But
in Pittsburg driving is a dream of delight
In New York the recording angels notebook is
chokefull of curses. But in the great industrial
center of Pennsylvania nothing worse than
you're just too horrid for everything is ever
heard. The behavior of the PIttsburg drivers
is as eenteel as that Of tue crew of the good
ship Hot Cross Bun. It is true that they are
at fault on the subject of the
rights of way and similar technicalties But
the practical loss is far outweighed by the
moral gain"

PITTsBURG, TUESDAY, MAR. "a, 1891.
WILL SERVE A USEFUL PURPOSE.

Though Mayor Gourlev's vigorous veto
message on the appropriation ordinance
failed TO secure from Councils yesterday any
reversal of their previous action, it served
at least several useful purposes. Not only
did il put the Mayor in the position, which
since his induction into Office it is due to
HIM TO say he has constantly sought to oc-
cupy, of dealing justly and to the best of
his intelligence with public questions, but
it also impressed upon Councils and the
public that the matter of annual taxes is
already serious one, and unless carefully
handled promises TO grow very much more
so in the near future.
Pittsburg has had several years Of notice
able growth and prosperity, during which
city expenditures have kept full pace with
the material Improvement. In such periods
there is a natural tendency to extravaganza.
The taxpayers are willing to pay for an eff
cient government; but at a time when
couple of million dollars for street improve
ments are hanging in the balance and the
annual appropriation itself runs up to
81, 100000 they are inclined to take stock,
and ask what is coming?
The heads of the departments and the
Finance Committee carried the vote yester-
day. as the Mayor and rhe public expected
from the start; but there was at least pretty
full discussion, which together with the
arguments on the Mayors veto, will fix public
attention on the results as they reveal them
selves later on.
As already pointed out in these columns,
it is not the capitalists or the property
owners who in the end pay the taxes. Tine
class engaged in productive labor has to
meet the whole of them, and it is. therefore,
important not merely to thousands of lndi-
vIduals, but to the industrial interests of
the town to watch how they are being spent

THE DEMOCRATIC BLtJSpER.

The attempt of the violent Democratic
partisans te cry down the pending ballot
reform bill, principally SO far as can be per-
ceived because it is a non-partisan measure,
and thatthe ultra Democrats cannot conceive
of permitting reform to be established by any
votes other than their own, is properly an
swered by the Philadelphia Record. That
journal, which tempers its partisanship by a
fair degree of intelligence and impartiality,
points out that the bill was drafted by
nou-partisan Ballot Reform Association
with view to securing as early as possible
the practical measure of ballot reform pos
Sible under the Constitution; that it secures
secrecy while preserving the constitutional
purpose of the numbering clause of the Con-
stitution. The Record tersely says:
To oppose the Baker bill is to oppose imme-
diate practical ballot reform. The passage of
the bill would in no wise hinder the calling of a
Constitutional Convention, and the one meas
ure ought not to be antagonized by the other.
This is the view of the more sensible part
of the Democracy, which supports the Con-
stitutional Convention plan. The fact is
that while the pending bill, like all other
measures. may have details-such as the
form of the ticket, for example-which
could be improved upon, it secures the i'm
portant objects of ballot reform. With the
disposition OF the ballot numbering that it
makes, it is really better bill than it would
be if the ballot-numbering clause were re-
pealed, as, while it prevents unauthorized
inquiry as to how man votes, it preserves
evidence for judicial detection of the substi-
tuition of bogus ballots.
But our more rabid Democratic friends
cannot see this, and, as consequence, as the
Record says, they are putting themselves In
the position of opposing immediate practi-
cal ballot reform.
