FIGHTING THE SMOKE.
Another Consumer to Be Tested by
the Fifth Avenue Line.
WAR DECLARED ON THE TT. WAYNE
Chiefs Brown and Bigelow Told to Have
Streets Kept Clean.
LADIES MAKE A FIGHT FOR LIMA OIL

Ladies' do not like smoke, at least those
in this section do not. They are keeping
up the war on coal smoke and have arranged
for a test of the Thayer water-gas furnace
at the power house of the Pittsburg Traction
Company, at Washington street. The Ladies'
Health Protective Association, which has
been investigating the merits of smoke con-
sumers in Chicago, reports favorably of the
Thayer and in order to push it into use has
prevailed on the Traction Company to give
it an experimental trial, which will begin
at II o'clock this morning The ladies have
invited councilmen and railway men to be
present at the test
Mrs. John NJ. Oakley has made a census
of the firms in this city using Lima oil for
fuel, and refers to them as proof of the pos
sibility of abating smoke through its use.
In Chicago it is pumped through the streets
and those using it are charged what meters
show they use. The plan gives satisfaction.
Declared War on the TT. Wayne.
The Ladies' Health Protective Associa-
tion will this afternoon call on Superin-
tendent Starr, of the Ft. Wayne Railroad,
and jog his memory regarding the use of
bituminous coal in locomotives within the
limits of Allegheny City. A call will also
be made on Chief Murphy and demand that
the ordinance requiring the use of smoke
consumers on the Northside be put into
effect They also propose to move on Chief
Browns works on this side and will not
forget Chief Bigelow as they go. The latter
will be asked to explain why Smithfeld
street and Liberty avenue are not swept e1-
cept by ladies' skirts on such days as yes
terday. They object also to the accumula-
tion of cabbage leaves and other vegetable
detritus, which they consider a nuisance NO
longer to be tolerated.
Evidently the Ladies' Health Protective
Association does not intend to allow itself
to become an old broom, and if the nuisances
complained of cannot be obviated, the mem-
bers propose to know why. If they keep up
the warfare they may in time accomplish
much good.
Baltimore Held Up as an Example.
Baltimore is reputed to be the best
managed city in this respect in the United
States, and it is because of the persistence
and vigilance of its people. Nothing
offensive is allowed to lie an hour on an y
street. If the proper person does Not
attend to his business the calls by telephone
from the section suffering give him I'D
rest and he is glad to get a chance to perform
the duty in order to stop the ringing of his
telephone. Pittsburg has plenty Of ordii-
ances on the subject, and were they enforctd
the municipality would not only be rendered
healthier and more slightly, but people
would soon discover that it is Just as easyto
be clean and comfortable as to be dirty an |
uncomfortable. While they may for
time resent the apparent officiousness of the
association, in few months they will be
calling down blessings on their heads.

DR.. Fish, who spoke at the Alliance

ist. He is one of those men who, whether
through mistake or from pecuniary
motives, are constantly seeking to Gre

out ever offering single remedy. He
takes everything to be bad that
is, and in his rounds Of invective
and denunciation he for gets TO

welcomes the reverse, and from his mar
row observations draws picture as
discouraging and dark as can be paint

eloquence of such men as these that
will stop the progress of true reform
if it IS stopped at all. They are not
broad enough and charitable enough to
see that the amelioration of the op-
pressed should not or cannot be accom-
plished by the damnation of the rich.
Their oratorical perorations are too
much the embodiment Of curses, of ex-

let this be Remembered, that if the state

partly at the bright side of things, who
talks sensibly and understandingly of
existing wrongs and who invites and
encourages change by those who have

4 WOULD-BE CONGRESSMAN.

Senator G. r. Davis of St. Peter has
publicly announced that he is a candi-
date for congressional honors. Since
Lind is out of the race, it is free-for-
all sweepstakes, he says, and and the win
lner has got Is SLOW up with points we'll
defined, and a pedigree we'll established.
OF course. no one challenges the right
of Mr.. Davis to become candidate for
congress, for 1t is right possessed by
all men to aspire to positions of the
highest trust; but, as MIR. Davis himself
says.the aspirant must have points we'll
defined and pedigree we'll established.
He might have added that these points
must show honesty of character and that
the pedigree must give proof of polite
al integrity.
The Review does not feel disposed to
enter into review of the things which
act against Mr.. Davis as suitable can
didate for congress. 1t is content for
the present to call attention to the
lack of anything in his favor. His
ca1eer as legislator in the past has
not been such as to recommend him to
the Republicans of the district as one
who would at all times hold his
constituents above himself, and
furthermore his Republicanism is not
of a character to warrant the
party in entrusting him with the
guardianship of it's interests in the ma
tional congress. Better men are to be
found throughout the district, and the
Republicans should make no mistake in
their selection. Davis is of pleasant
appearance, gifted with fine speech, and
at all times a nice man to meet-in fact
prince of good fellows. But ''rut not
your trust in princes was always
good motto, and is DO doubt y safe one
to follow in this case. The next Re-
publican candidate, whoever he may
be, must possess not only ability, but
an honest belief in Republican princi-
Piles and the courage to proclaim them
whenever occasion demands. These
will be the points that will determine
who the chosen one is to be, and, as
Nr. Davis says, they must be we'll de-
fined.

ANENlv SENATOR DAVIS.

Z ~ II &
We have the word Of prominent
politician of this state to the effect that
Gov. Merriam and Senator Davis I'M
derstand each other; that the claim that
they are at loggerheads is all nonsense;
and that in 1886, when Merriam was
elected speaker and Davis senator, q
political com inat1on was formed that
made the boast that it would control the
the politics of Minnesota for the next
twenty years. The Review has not the
inform alton to confirm or refute any of
these assertions, but since the charges
have been made and by one high in Re.
publican rpblican circles. an explanation is in
order. s.ea
The Support that has been given to
Senator Davis by the papers of this state
has come largely from them by reason
of the prevailing belief that Davis was
free from the ENHANCEMENT OF political
schemes, and that his election was due
directly to movement among the peo-
pie. Recent developments in politics,
however, are enough to excite suspicion.
Davis reticence in the matter of appoint.
ments and Washburn's remarkable
success in controlling federal patronage
mean something. Neither would re.
feet particular discredit on Mr.. Davis as
senator had he shown that same disin-
terestedness throughout his eptire Off.
cial career, but his reticence then, and
the active interest taken by him in the
Rahilly matter are hardly in keeping,
the one with the other. To US 1t seems
to show that Davis was not elected by
the people after all, but by the cities,
and it is to the cities, that he is yielding
the best of his services in the Senate.
The Review does not believe in going
back upon a man without good cause.
It still adheres to Senator Davis and
will continue to do so as long as it is
assured that the brainy senator acts for
the people at large. Nevertheless it does
not believe in hert'-worship and is of the
opinion that a representative should be
accountable for his acts. The charges
made and differences drawn in the
above lines are natural, and made SIM
ply for the purpose of drawing out the
truth. If they are groundless, the Sen
ator owes it to his supporters to refute
them and establish his fealty to the
and to the country districts be-
You'd doubt. Should he do this, the
opposition that is springing up against
him in so many quarters will be with
drawn, and to his reputation for bril-
lance will be added the knowledge that
he is not the tool of political tricksters,
but a servant of the people. He will be
strengthened by the fire of criticism, if
safely endured, and better enabled
to enter the campaign a year hence
than ever before. But that criticism
will demand not only a REPUTATION with
words, but with deeds as we'll. Mr..
Davis must show by his acts that he is
not catering to Twin City politicians,
that he IS not seeking to succeed him
self through the help Of ring, and
that his political birth right IS his own.

The Democrats of Iowa have renom.
mated Gov. Boies, and it, is safe to pre-
dict that he will be electe l.. Republi.
can toolishness IN handling the liquor
question in that state has given the
party a terrible setback, from which
it will not recover until the cranks, who
have tied the party to the fanatica! theory
of prohibition, have been relegated to
obscurity. Iowa on national issues is
as Republican as any state in the Union.
It is only on the state issues that the
party is divided, and there because men
have secured control of the conventions
who refuse to profit by experiences
and prefer to carry out their own crank
ish notions, regardless of the result.
The Review has always advocated the
maintaining of the state militia, but Of
late many things have Occurred to lead
this paper to believe that the state could
get along as well without as with a lot
of uniformed guards. The Third Regi-
ment trouble showed that the whole or
ganization hltched on the pleasure of
the commanding officers. The attend.
ance at camp shows disinterestedness
in the service and reckless disregard of
orders. There is no longer that desire
to simply be soldier that there was
when the militia idea first found vent
in an organization in this state, and the
few who attend the camps now do so
merely for the pleasure and fun that is
found in getting away from home for a
week or ten days. 1t has even come to
such straits that members have to be
forced to get them to endure the annual
regimental camp routine, and, if it
came to active service, there is good
reason to believe that more time would
be lost in getting sufficient force of
the militia of the state together than
would be required to enlist the recess
sary number of volunteers. The inter-
est in dress parades and exhibition drills
IS growing less with every year, and We
begin to believe that the effort to dis
band all but one of the regiments was
one in the proper direction.
