TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
THE MAN FOR THE PLACE.

The suggestion is renewed that since
Mr.. Morrow has positively refused to run
fer Controller again, Mayor Gourley
would be the right man for the place
Time and again-in fact, continuously
during his term as Mayor-THE DISPATCH
has been able to commend the broad in
telligence and unfiinching courage with
which Mr.. Gourley has filled his present
position. We feel obliged to say now that
a more desirable man could not be found
for the Controllers office.
If the Republican politicians are wise
they will take up Gourley for Controller;
but his opposition to their policy and
projects while he has been Mayor will
make HIM undesirable In that quarter.
At the same time they run q
bigger risk by declining to take him,
as if the Democrats put him on their
ticket, or if he should run independently,
he will not only carry the Controllership,
but very likely influence the Mayoralty
election also.
Gourley was elected to represent the
people and take care of their interests in
the Mayors Office. He has done that duty
faithfully, fearlessly and with an uncom-
mon measure of public appreciation. If
he is willing to serve in the Controllers
Office, his record can break any slate that
may be set up against him. The situation
is highly interesting.

REGULATING IMMIGRATION.

The question of regulating immigration
is assuming prominent position in the
minds of legislators and thinkers, as will
be seen by our news columns. Besides
the interviews with local students on the
question, the Senate Committee is consid.
ering bill for strieter regulation than has
been heretofore established
1t is hopeful sign that opinion is crys'
tallizing in the direction of regulation
looking to the quality rather than quan-
tity of immigration. The measure under
consideration by the Senate Committee,
as outlined elsewhere in this issue, how
ever it may be open to criticism other
wise, has that characteristic. 1t proposes
in brief to place the responsibility as to
the health, morality and solvency of i'm
migrants on the steamship companies
bringing them here, and to impose heavy
penalties for the transportation of immi-
grants without first being able to give
definite assurance that they come up to
the standard.
While the theory of this measure may
be plausible, it is doubtful if in practice
the plan of placing the responsibility on
the agencies whose interest it is to evade
the laws will work we'll. There is much
force in the opinion expressed locally,
and at the same time in the East, that
the only effective check on undesirable
immigration will be by examination on
the other side of the ocean. The in
spection should be held where informa-
tion as to the character of the immigrants
is accessible and it should be made by rep
resentatives of the United States. In
other words, a system of inspection by
consular agents affords the proper solu-
tion for the problem.
While Congress is about the matter it
might as well settle it by carefully di-
gested measure of this sort And in order
that the consular inspection may be
efficient and impartial the consular service
should be taken out of politics at the
earliest possible moment

MILLER'S NICARAGUAN CANAL
In Need of Another Boost in Message
From the President.

In Need of Another Boost in Message
From the President.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 2z.-[SpecioI. l-Warner
Miller was here to-day for few hours to pro-
mote his interest in the Nicaraguan Canal
project. The scandal connected with the
Panama scheme, which is now occupying
the atten ton of the French Chamber of Dep
uties. is said to operate to the advantage of
the Nicaraguan enterprise. Although it
was Sunday Mr.. Miller went to the residence
of the Secretary of State and had long con-
versation with him on the subject of the
canal. Mr.. Miller would like to have Presi-
dent Harrison again make favorable men,
tion of the Nicaraguan enterprise in his
forthcoming message to Congress. The bill
which passed the House last session, author
izing the United States Government to guar
antee the canal company's bonds, is hung up
in the Senate Committee on Foreign Rea-
tions.
Mr.. Miller assumes to be Indifferent about
the pending legislation, and insists that the
patriotism and enterprise of the American
people will furnish the means to complete
Governmental guarantee to the company's
bond is not an Objectionable feature. A de-
termined efforS will be made during the
coming session TO secure the passage of the
bill through the Senate, and in tnat event
the President will probably sign it, for he
has approved it in all of his annual mes
sageS. The discovery of the TACT that an at
temptto retrict the American trade across
the Panama Isthmus is now being made, it
Is thought, will create a strong sentiment in
favor OF the Nicaraguan Canal.

WHO CAST THE VOTE?

The intimation against Senator Quay
that he did not accord a vigorous support
to General Harrison is replied to by the
Philadelphia Inquirer, as an organ of the
Senator, with reference to the election
returns. "The figures in this neck of the
woods proclaim Pennsylvania to be the
banner Republican State" says the In
quirer, and rests Its case there as if that
were complete answer.
Perhaps it is. 1t is well known that the
Junior Senator has the exercise of some
the first time we have seen the claim that
he casts the Republican vote of the State.
1t has been understood for some time that
he, and others like him, select candidates,
organize primaries, distribute offices and
pass upon laws; but it has b cen supposed
that they left it to the Republican masses
to do the voting. Inasmuch as the vote
of Pennsylvania is alleged by Senator
Quay's organ to represent his personal at
tItude, it seems that we must revise our
opinions on that point also.
1t must be admitted that the novel idea
finds support in recent allegations as to
the manner in which some portions of the
Republican vote are cast in job lots to
suit political deals. This makes it peril
Dent for the Inquirer to produce defense
to the recent charge that the Republican
vote which would have given the party
another seat in Congress was traded off
for the consideration of two or three State
legislators pledged to vote for the re-elec-
ton of one M. s. Quay to the United
States Senate

DUTY FOR MIR. CLEVELAND,

Those active Democratic organs the
New York Times and World take the oc.
casion of Senator Edmunds' declaration
that the antitrust act is all right, and
only needs vigorous enforcement to at
tack the administration of Attorney Gen.
eral Miller for his failure to enforce the
act, and especially for the absence of any
movement against the anthracite coal
combination.
There is no slight degree of foundation
for their arraignment. But, as it is the
part Of wisdom to look forward rather
Than back, the greater significance of their
fervor applies to the incoming rather than
outgoing administration. The warmth of
their censures on the failure of the Har-
rison administration to enforce the act
emphasizes the duty of the coming Cleve-
land administration.
We shall await with interest the ap-
pOinEment by President Cleveland of an
Attorney General who will at once begin
vigorous and successful campaign
against all trusts and combinations. And,
if by any mischance he should fail to do
so, we shall expect with impatience the
scorching censures of the two vigorous
journals which assisted to elect him.

A MYSTERIOUS EFFORT.

a peculiar example of the methods en-
plOyed in this years attempt to boost an
amendment legalizing railroad pools
through Congress is afforded by the edi-
tOrial comments of the Washington Post
on the subject That bright contemporary
doesn't swallow the pooling doctrines
whole; but it accepts some of the fable
underlying the present efforts with good
faith that is touching.
Thus we find it arriving at the conclu-
sion that something must be done, on the
basis of the assertion that the "Inter-
State Commerce Commissioners have felt
themselves constrained by the anti-pooling
provisions to the law to resist the asser-
tion of this right''-to pool earnings But
their inability to enforce the law has
according to the railway gentleman who
furnished the esteemed Post with this
effort Of the Imagination for facts-had the
singular logical effect of convincing Judge
Cooley and General Veazey ''of the uncon-
Stitutionality Of the anti pooling section. ="
If ability on the part of the railways to
ignore and override the enforcement of
law demonstrates its unconstitutionality
our railway magnates have struck a new
feature of strength in their position. LII
that case they stand in the happy attitude
Of demonstrating the unconstitutionslity
of the entire act With that logical result
accepted either in whole or in part the
question arises, What is the necessity of
repeating any portion of statute which
by the statement Of the case falls to the
ground through its unconstitutionality ?
But the statement of the case by our es-
teemed cotemporary having predicated an
effort to enforce the Law, it becomes per-
tinent to ask it to specify the cases in
which the Commission has made an effort
to obtain proof of pooling. has declared
its illegality, OF has tried to enforce the
penalty. Let our contemporary examine
the records as to this point Perhaps its
search will be ATTENDED with more fortu-
nate results than that T'~h has been
made by other psopk Il It finds

PRACTICAL RESULTS EXPECTED
BY Delegates of All Shades of Belief at the
MOnetarY Conference.

BRUSSELS, Nov. 27.-It is now under
stood that the proposal which Alfred de
Rothschild, of the British delegation, will
submit to the Monetary Conference, is o
we'll conceived and long-thought-out plan
for an International monetary agreement,
and not mere project of air. A feeling OF
greater confidence has been created among
the delegates that the conference will have
practical results. The attempt in certain
quarters to ridicule the conference and the
false impressions conveyed by certain
European newspapers are strongly resented
by the delegates of all opinions. Indeed it
has caused the Russian delegate. a well
known opponent of bi-metallism tonight. to
announce his intention of bringing the
matter before the convention tomorrow
and to protest against the circulation of such
reports.
The interest taken by the Indian Govern
ment in the conference, is shown by the
attitude of its representatives, who do not
conceal their opinion that Indiashas every
thing to gain and nothing to lose by inter-
national 'bi-metallism. Though they hardly
expect such a settlement to result from the
present conference, they are working
heartily at the task of finding a solution in
that direction, and are cooperating with
all who hope that Rothschild's plan can
be made acceptable to all sections. The
general feeling is that unless the conference
comes TO solution satisfactory to all, the
adoption OF gold standard by India must
follow, and for India to face this would be
as much leap in the dark as would any
with the elements of perturbation and
manic

THE EvANGELs OF TEMPERANCE.

The warmth of the popular feeling for
Mr.. Francis Murphy and the power which
he is able to exert in his missionary work
were strikingly illustrated at the first of
the series of meetings, held last night
The Outpouring of the people and tn e en-
thusasm displayed in the cause of gospel
temperance were even more remarkable
than the reception given to the magnetic
apostle few days ago. The best results
may be expected from Mr.. Murphy's re-
newal of his former labors in the reforma-
tion of drunkards.
Side by side with the Murphy movement
is the Salvation Army's work for the same
purpose. While varying in methods and
perhaps reaching different classes, both of
these evangelical efforts have the same
foundation-the reformation of men by
religious influence. In either form the
work is noble one, and gives religion a
reality and vitality too often lacking.

THERE seems to be an urgent necessity
for disciplining the exuberant imagina-
tions of the gentlemen who furnish the
weather reports. On Saturday afternoon
the dispatches told of blizzard which was
raging all over the Northwest, and which
was to strike this section on Sunday. On
Sunday morning the report was that there
was mot a cold wave or a storm anywhere
in the country" The hiatus between the
two is too great to be filed by anything in
the line of explanation, short of undue
Thanksgiving festivities prolonged to the
close of the week.

the section it will substantiate the
statement of fact on which it bases
Its conclusion. But if it should
fail to find any such cases at all it might
change the aspect of the case. Or, if it
should discover that in one case where the
Commission stumbled by mischance upon
plain evidence of pooling the extreme
course was taken of emitting the publica-
ton of any decision whatever, it might
conclude that things are not always exact
ly as represented.
No one will dispute that there is neces-
sity of securing some change in the inter-
State commerce law; but a very respect
able element are ready to affirm that the
change should be that of securing vigor-
Gus and honest enforcement of the law in
its entirety

The Industrial Blacklist Called Un-Amcr'
lean and Despotic.


lean and Despotic.
New York Recorder.l
There was one dark and uesolate blot on
the happy Thanksgiving picture. 1t was
around the great Homestead iron mills.
Starvation, or something akin to it, was
there in all its horrors. The fires in the fac
tory furnaces blazed brightly, put the fires
on many a hearth were out. 1t is sad to
read about little children gathering drift
wood from the river, lighting it in vacant
lot, clustering around it to keep warm,
and roasting potatoes in the embers for
their THANKSGIVING feast. Worst OF all,
there is hardly a ray of hope ahead. The
unfortunate men who have struck cannot
obtain work at the mills, and with indict-
ments hanging over them they are liable
to be arrested and put in Jail if they leave
the place TO seek work elsewhere. The
prison or the poorhouse-what O terrible al
ternativel
There is a handful of men, the ring-lead-
ers of the riot, who richly deserve to be
punished. The law must be fully vindicated
in their cases, for they were the instigators
OF violence and murder. Innocent blood is
on their hands, and the penalty for its she'd
ding must be sternly exacted from them.
But the great body OF the strikers, while
they participated in the outbreak of mob
fury, were but the poor. misguided tools OF
the craftier and wickeder men who acted as
their leaders.
Their situation calls for mercy-the mercy
of the law ana the mercy of capital. The
one should come from the executive cham
ber at Harrisburg, the other from the castle
in the Scottish highlands The strikers
were wrong. No one will, no one can, de-
fend their acts Of lawlessness; but have they
not been sufficiently punished? Is no
clemency to be shown them? Mr. Carnegie
and Mr.. Frick have won. Is there no COM
passion in their hearts? Win nothing satisfy
them except the utter ruin of their old en-
ployes? That terrible blacklist should be
burned, Put it into one of the furnaces and
destroy it forever. The vile thing is un-
American. 1t is the invention of European
industrial despots.
Give the men at Homestead one more
chance. No better workmen can be found
anywhere. Let Mr.. Carnegie take pity OH
their hapless wives and children. Here is
the best opportunity he ever had for the
exercise of his philanthropy,
